He appreciates how fiercely Jingyi defends his son, he really does, but did it have to be right now.
"I mean people might try and hurt Jin Ling by hurting Yuan," he clarifies - it's harsh but true, they don't know how many other plotters are still in Carp Tower (well, Huaisang will, shortly, but he doesn't know that) "and I don't think Jin Ling will want Yuan to see him like that. Sending Zizhen isn't a bad idea though, he can keep both of you informed."
He looks down at what he's working on and sighs.
"It's.. Jiang Cheng has found something that will help Jin Ling faster, something from Wen Qing's notes, she was.. " he smiles a little sadly "she was the best doctor I ever met. If we can recreate this, Jin Ling will get better that much quicker. That's all, he's going to be fine, we just want him to be fine sooner."
A short distance away, Zizhen is holding Yuan's hand as the other boy tries to sob silently. He hates this, he hates everything about it, but he doesn't know if any of it's a lie - would he be a danger to Jin Ling by being there? A-Ling had been the one to send him away, to say it's better for him here, would he really not like it if Yuan went back to him...
