Chapter 73 He Yanchen is completely immersed in this feeling

After finishing breakfast with Yueli, Ji Ming came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei is requesting an audience in the Imperial Study."

Yueli was still nestled in the man's arms, holding him tightly, unwilling to let go: "Your Majesty, please don't leave..."

"You said you would stay with me every day. I don't want you to leave."

"Didn't Jiaojiao ask me to be a wise ruler? How could a wise ruler not pay attention to state affairs?"

"But today is a day off." Yue Li tugged at the corner of his clothes, looking at him aggrievedly, tears in the corners of her eyes.

He Yanchen rubbed her lower back with his fingertips, his tone thoughtful: "I haven't seen Jiaojiao so clingy to me before."

"Who said that?" Yueli's eyes widened as she accused him, "I used to be afraid that Your Majesty would be annoyed, so I held myself back."

"What now?"

"Now..." Yueli lifted her calf and showed him the remaining red mark, "Now I can cling to Your Majesty without worry."

She hugged him and said, "I will always be with His Majesty."

He Yanchen hugged her back and said in a guiding tone, "But I still have to go to the imperial study and attend court. I have so many things to do every day. How can Jiaojiao stick to me?"

Yueli frowned and thought for a moment before asking him, "Can I go to the imperial study? Your Majesty is meeting with his subjects, and I can grind ink for you."

He Yanchen smiled and rubbed her head: "Why don't you get up yet?"

Yueli was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and ran happily behind the screen to change her clothes.

He Yanchen chuckled and ordered Ji Ming: "Ask Prime Minister Wei to come to Linde Hall."

Ji Ming was stunned, glanced at the screen obscurely, and whispered: "But Yu Zhaorong is here..." Concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics!

He Yanchen glanced at him and said, "What do you think she can understand?"

Ji Ming: “…”

That's true.

Yueli, who was behind the screen, was unaware of the conversation between the two. She was extremely anxious because she was afraid that He Yanchen would not wait for her. Yueli moved quickly, but unfortunately she had not dressed herself for a long time and was in a panic.

When she came out, He Yanchen saw that her buttons were buttoned incorrectly and her belt was crooked, and he smiled helplessly.

"Come here, I'll sort it out for you."

Yueli walked up to him and obediently let the man put her clothes on.

He Yanchen bent down to help her fix her belt and skirt, but after finishing, he sat back on the couch. Yue Li leaned over and asked him, "Your Majesty, aren't you leaving?"

The man took her in his arms and brought her back to his embrace: "I asked them to come to Linde Hall to discuss matters."

A quarter of an hour later.

When Wei Chengdong came in, he saw a screen placed in the hall, reflecting two shadowy figures in the inner hall.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

"There's no need to be so polite, Grand Tutor." He Yanchen still called him Grand Tutor, which made Wei Chengdong think of the friendship they had for more than ten years, and invisibly eliminated the estrangement of the past few years.

He calmed himself down and came mainly to report the matter to Yuan Zhang.

"During the chaos that day, Yuan Zhang hid in his mansion and did not show up." At this point, Wei Chengdong felt that this man was really cunning and treacherous. Everyone knew that he was a member of the Xian Wang faction, but he refused to admit it even when he was about to die. The rebels were at the city gate, but he was still hiding at home and pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"Zi Hui led his men, disguised as refugees, to break into Yuan's residence and capture his family, but they didn't find him."

Yue Li fell asleep in the moment she waited. She rested her head on the man's arms. He Yanchen patted her back with one hand while listening to Wei Chengdong talk.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what will be done with Yuan Zhang's family?"

He Yanchen's gentle gaze fell on Yueli's profile, but the words he spoke were cold and gloomy: "Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Wei Chengdong hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, please think twice..."

"Grandmaster, it was you who taught me the principle of eradicating the roots before cutting the grass." The woman in his arms seemed annoyed by the noise and buried her head in his arms. He Yanchen patted her shoulder soothingly, "Keeping them around won't do me any good, except for earning me a reputation for kindness. There are only hidden dangers."

"Reputation is of no use to me."

Wei Chengdong was speechless. He knew very well that the current emperor was different from the previous emperor. The previous emperor cared about his reputation and whether his reputation could be passed down through the ages in history books, but He Yanchen didn't care.

The court has been in turmoil for three years. He now needs to be decisive and ruthless in order to regain power as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Wei Chengdong no longer objected: "Yes, I understand."

"As for Yuan Zhang, continue to send people to pursue him. The remaining forces of the virtuous king in the West Sea will be handed over to General Lin for disposal."

"yes."

The king and his ministers finished discussing the matter quickly. After Wei Chengdong left, ministers came to ask for a meeting one after another. Even though it was a day off, the court had just experienced a turmoil and there were many things piled up.

Seeing Yueli sleeping soundly, He Yanchen lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly, then gently placed her on the couch and went to the study in Linde Hall.

This busyness lasted until noon, until Ji Ming came to report: "Your Majesty, Yu Zhaorong has woken up and is clamoring to see you..."

He Yanchen hurried back to the bedroom from the study. He knew that Yueli would make a fuss if she didn't see him when she woke up.

In the hall, Yue Li was sitting on the couch, hugging a blanket, with the corners of her mouth slightly turned down and her eyes full of anxiety. When she saw him come in, she cried even harder.

He Yanchen hurried over and hugged the person in his arms, coaxing him: "Why did you wake up?"

"Your Majesty..." Yue Li hugged him anxiously, not wanting to be separated from him for a moment.

"I am here."

"I just saw you fall asleep, so I went to the study."

Yueli was arrogant and unreasonable: "You can't leave even if I sleep!"

"Okay, I won't leave. It's my fault." He Yanchen lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Yue Li was very clingy, and He Yanchen didn't feel at ease even when she held him in her arms, always worried that he would abandon her if she let go.

She propped herself up, put her arms around his neck, and rubbed her cheek against his neck.

The smile in He Yanchen's eyes became even more intense.

At night, on the bed, he tossed Yue Li over and over, torturing the woman in his arms so much that she couldn't even cry.

Yueli felt like she was about to die. Unable to bear it any longer, she kicked him with all her remaining strength.

He Yanchen grabbed her ankle and bent down to kiss her: "Jiaojiao, you are so good..."

He has to attend the morning court tomorrow, and if he doesn't make her suffer, he will definitely not be able to leave.

Do it for a while longer, and by the time she wakes up, it will be time for him to leave the court.

He Yanchen planned very well, and the person in his arms was so tired that he soon fell into a deep sleep.

The man threw away her quilt and held her in his arms. They were covered with a mattress, and their naked skin was tightly pressed against each other under the quilt. A sense of satisfaction gradually spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body.

He finally had hope in his life, and someone who depended on him wholeheartedly appeared.

She relies on him for everything, so he has to take good care of her.

He Yanchen was completely immersed in this feeling.
