Chapter 44 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 02
Yu Sheng: "..."
I think you want to get punched again with a fist the size of a sandbag, don't you?
The head eunuch standing to the side was so embarrassed he almost wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his feet.
Help! Why is His Majesty suddenly causing this death?
"Your Majesty, our actions are a bit ambiguous."
Xie Hanzhou seemed to only then realize what was happening. He released Yu Sheng's hand, took a handkerchief from Steward An beside him, wiped his hands without changing his expression, and then threw the handkerchief back to Steward An.
Yu Sheng: Very well, you despise him, right? (Her fist hardened.)
888 laughed so hard she pounded the ground: "Hahahaha... Yu Sheng didn't expect this, did he? He actually looks down on you! You messed up, didn't you?"
"Shut up--"
Yu Sheng not only banned a certain leader, but even put him in a dark room.
888: You locked me in the dark room again, Yu Sheng, you father of a bitch!
Ever since Xie Hanzhou started wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Yu Sheng has been treating him like dirt, and he always gives perfunctory answers whenever Xie Hanzhou speaks to him.
Either say "uh-huh" or "nod".
Xie Hanzhou naturally noticed that something was wrong with him.
"Does the Imperial Advisor have a problem with me?"
"How dare I!"
Manager An was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, fearing that the two would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
Steward An felt increasingly that the Imperial Preceptor was being presumptuous. Little did he know that Yu Sheng was about to do something even more outrageous.
"I've heard that the Imperial Advisor is an excellent chess player. How about the Imperial Advisor plays a game of chess with me?"
Yu Sheng declined, saying, "Your Majesty, my hand hurts, and I cannot play chess with you for the time being."
"Your hand hurts?" Now it was Xie Hanzhou's turn to be puzzled.
He remembered that Yu Sheng was fine when she first went to court, so why did her hand suddenly hurt now?
As if knowing his inner thoughts, Yu Sheng raised the wrist that he had gripped, which had obvious finger marks.
Xie Hanzhou's breath hitched when he saw this.
He remembered that he hadn't used much force, so why did he turn so red?
Hmph! She really is as the rumors say, so delicate!
It made him feel very upset.
Unaware of the tyrant's inner turmoil, Yu Sheng demonstrated his wrist and bowed to Xie Hanzhou, saying, "Your Majesty, then I will not disturb Your Majesty's enjoyment any longer."
Xie Hanzhou waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
After Yu Sheng left, he angrily asked Steward An, "Wasn't he going too far just now? He was even more presumptuous than before!"
Steward An neither nodded nor shook his head.
Oh my god, someone save him!
"Cough cough cough... Who has angered my elder brother this time?"
"Oh dear, Your Highness Prince Ning, what brings you out here?" Chief Steward An looked at Xie Weiyan, whose face was full of illness, and felt a pang of pity.
Xie Weiyan is Xie Hanzhou's half-brother. Most of the princes and princesses of their generation were killed when Xie Hanzhou ascended the throne.
Only one prince and one princess remained.
That prince was Xie Weiyan, who was granted the title of Prince Ning due to his poor health since childhood.
Seeing Xie Weiyan dressed so lightly, Xie Hanzhou frowned slightly. "You're sensitive to the cold, why did you come out dressed so lightly? And why didn't you bring anyone with you?"
Xie Weiyan gave Steward An a wink, and Steward An jogged back, returning with a cloak.
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. I was just thinking that since it is already spring, the weather should be warmer, so I dressed a little lightly."
"I just heard that my brother was furious in court. Did they make things difficult for him again?"
Xie Hanzhou shook his head. "Do they dare to make things difficult for me?"
"Uh... Your Majesty, was it the Imperial Advisor who just left?"
Xie Hanzhou paused, then gave a soft "hmm".
"Your Majesty, in recent years, the Imperial Preceptor's... remarks in court seem to be quite negative." Xie Weiyan frowned, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Xie Hanzhou looked at him.
"I didn't know that my brother had become so concerned about court affairs," Xie Hanzhou said with a half-smile, making Xie Weiyan's heart skip a beat.
A violent coughing fit struck, as if the person was about to cough up their lungs.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I only overheard Chief Eunuch An mentioning it by chance. This Yu Sheng has been secretly currying favor with various ministers behind Your Majesty's back. I'm afraid Your Majesty will..."
Xie Hanzhou glanced at him sideways, his face expressionless.
Even Chief Steward An was uneasy, unable to understand what their capricious emperor was thinking.
Xie Hanzhou remained silent, and the two men were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and knelt on the ground.
Xie Hanzhou chuckled. "Why are you kneeling? Are you afraid of me?"
The two said in unison, "Your humble servants dare not!"
Although the two said they dared not, their bodies began to tremble involuntarily. No one could guarantee that Xie Hanzhou wouldn't cut them down with a single stroke, just like he did with everyone else.
"You dare not? That's true, after all, I am the emperor..."
He abruptly changed the subject, casually asking Xie Weiyan, "Oh, by the way, Your Highness was just talking about the Imperial Advisor, right? I think what Your Highness actually meant was that the Imperial Advisor was forming cliques for personal gain, wasn't it?"
Xie Weiyan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He understands Xie Hanzhou even less now.
He couldn't understand his arrogant and successful elder brother, the crown prince, when he was a child, and now he understands Xie Hanzhou, who has become the emperor, even less.
Xie Weiyan shook his head, his face pale. "Your Majesty, I am only worried that Your Majesty will be deceived by the Imperial Advisor. I have no other intentions!"
"Yeah, I know~"
"Don't you think what you're doing is a bit unnecessary? Do you think I'm so useless that I can't see what the people below are thinking?"
“Weiyan, the affairs of the court are too troublesome and mentally taxing, and your health is not very good. You just need to do your job as Prince Ning. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Xie Hanzhou squatted down and gently adjusted his robes.
Xie Weiyan had no choice but to nod obediently, but her fists on both sides were clenched tightly.
After helping the man up, they then rushed to Chief An to "send His Highness Prince Ning back to his residence to recuperate."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Steward An helped Xie Weiyan up, and Xie Weiyan reluctantly turned and left.
All the way there, he kept thinking about what Xie Hanzhou had just said.
Was Xie Hanzhou just giving me a warning? Could it be that he discovered something?
At that moment, his mind was in a complete mess.
Perhaps he was too impatient, which made Xie Hanzhou realize something.
"Your Highness, there's something I must say. His Majesty is capricious, and your health is such that it would be best if you stayed at the Prince Ning's residence to recuperate, lest something like today happen again..."
Xie Weiyan felt nauseous inside, but she had to maintain a fake smile on her face.
"Thank you for your guidance, Steward An."
Heaven knows how angry he was with his body. He kept recuperating and recuperating. He didn't understand why they all told him to just be a quiet, carefree prince and focus on recovering.
If it weren't for what happened back then, how could he have ended up like this?
