finally!

He finally doesn’t have to be the emperor anymore!

Tang Yu almost cried with joy, but finally held it back. After suppressing the joy in his heart, he reminded in a gentle voice:

"It would be better to ascend the throne earlier, so that it would be more legitimate for you."

Huo Cenji had been the one who made the decisions regarding the previous dynasty's political affairs. It seemed that what he was doing was what an "emperor" should do. It would be better to settle it sooner rather than later, so that Huo Cenji could silence those who had ulterior motives once he took the position.

This not only advances the main storyline, but also satisfies his desire to lie down and relax. It's simply the best of both worlds!

"Your Majesty... understands." Huo Cenji listened to Tang Yu's instructions in silence, then responded in a hoarse voice.

Now, he and Tang Yu were not addressing each other as king and subject, and the words they used were only "you and me".

But Tang Yu brought up the matter again and again, causing complicated and obscure emotions to surge in his heart. In the end, he almost gave that response in a stubborn tone.

He knew very well that the time he had left to call himself "minister" to Tang Yu was running out.

but why……

Tang Yu had clearly shown some relief, but why was he still so obsessed?

Huo Cenji felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he was still unwilling to say it out loud and make Tang Yu worry, so he turned his head to avoid Tang Yu's gentle gaze, and left under the pretext of arranging related matters.

Tang Yu did not stop him. He knew that Huo Cenji was now busy with many things. Not only did he have to deal with the Zhao family rebels, but he also had to be busy instructing people to prepare for his ascension to the throne.

If he continues to keep people here out of his own will, wouldn't that be unreasonable?

But he is not that kind of person.

However, looking at Huo Cenji's leaving back, Tang Yu touched his chin thoughtfully.

The system thought its host had some brilliant ideas, so it pricked up its ears to listen. After a long while, it heard Tang Yu mutter to himself:

"It seems that not everyone is happy to be the emperor..."

At least that's what can be seen from Huo Cenji's performance.

However, Tang Yu was happy that he had finally gotten rid of the position, so he couldn't help but eat more at dinner.

Although the young waiter's eyes showed a hint of wanting to say something but hesitant, Tang Yu pretended not to notice. Every move he made during the meal was full of dignity, except that he picked up his chopsticks much faster than usual.

Later, when he saw him put down his chopsticks, the young attendant hurriedly called someone in to remove the food, fearing that he was a step late.

It’s just a little strange. Although the greenhouse doesn’t deliver flowers every day, the vase on the red sandalwood table is always filled with fresh and precious flowers, and they are changed every day. Every flower is so beautiful that it is not difficult to see that someone has carefully selected them.

When Tang Yu asked the young attendant, he stammered and could not explain clearly, so he had to give up.

But it was pleasing to the eye. Tang Yu, who was about to step down from the throne of "Emperor", looked at the fragrant flower buds hugging each other in clusters, and his mood seemed to be much better than before.

But this good mood came to an abrupt end when Tang Yu heard some unpleasant knocking sounds while taking a nap. He climbed out of bed and looked in the direction of the sound.

The brocade window with exquisite carvings made a creaking sound, and it was easy to tell that someone was tampering with it.

So Tang Yu called the young attendant's name a few times, and after a while, the young attendant appeared in front of him at a trot.

Tang Yu rubbed his eyebrows and asked softly:

"What's that noise?"

The young attendant did not answer directly, but lowered his head guiltily.

Tang Yu had no choice but to ask again, but with a stronger tone than before:

"What's going on outside?"

"Your Majesty, I am asking someone to reinforce the brocade windows." The young attendant looked hesitant and whispered something in a low voice.

"Why?" Tang Yu heard something wrong from the young attendant's answer, so he immediately asked.

"Isn't it..." The young attendant closed his eyes and said the real reason:

"...It's because the Regent sneaked through the window into your bedroom earlier. I'm really worried about what the Regent will do to you..."

Before the young official finished speaking, he heard His Majesty ask him in surprise:

"Climb through the window? When did the Regent climb through the window?"

Before this, the young attendant had no idea that Huo Cenji had climbed through the window into the bedroom, but since he mentioned it himself, he must have discovered it.

The only matching time was when he was abducted by the Zhao family.

So... in other words—

When he was away, Huo Cenji also came quietly?

Tang Yu lowered her eyes slightly, and her long, distinct eyelashes fluttered gently up and down like a small fan.

Those delicate eyes that were brighter than the spring sunshine were even more moving under the sunlight, especially when the corners of those gentle and affectionate eyes were slightly raised, the gentleness between the eyebrows seemed to overflow.

If the young official still can't see that his Majesty is in a good mood at the moment, he would be really blind.

But... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what is there to be happy about?

As soon as this thought flashed through the young attendant's mind, he instantly remembered what His Majesty had said to him -

"I have some shameful thoughts about the Regent."

It turns out that His Majesty actually thought so, and he didn't say it out of necessity to appease him.

After knowing the truth, the young attendant fell silent.

Tang Yu saw that the young attendant seemed to have suddenly become mute. Not only did he not say a word, he also lowered his head to avoid his gaze. So Tang Yu asked:

"When exactly did you discover it?"

The young attendant felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart when he heard the words coming from his ears. He still couldn't understand why His Majesty fell in love with the Regent.
