Chapter 49 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 07
That night, Xie Hanzhou had a dream.
In my dreams, all I see is Yu Sheng's shadow.
In his dream, he followed his heart and pressed Yu Sheng down, doing all the things he had wanted to do during the day.
In his dream, Yu Sheng's eyes were tinged with crimson, her red lips parted slightly, and she called him "Your Majesty" again and again, begging for mercy...
Xie Hanzhou opened his eyes with a start.
He sat up, put one hand to his forehead, and looked around at the decor, realizing that everything he had just experienced was a dream.
Xie Hanzhou couldn't help but sigh, unsure whether he felt fortunate or regretful.
"Your Majesty—were you having a nightmare?" Chief Eunuch An came in from outside the door, looking at him with some anxiety.
Xie Hanzhou nodded hesitantly.
This dream is even more terrifying than a nightmare.
"What time is it?" Xie Hanzhou asked him.
Chief Steward An glanced at the water clock and replied, "Your Majesty, it is already Chen Shi (7-9 AM). Your Majesty can take a nap a little longer."
Xie Hanzhou shook his head. What was the point of sleeping in this situation? He had to attend court soon, and more importantly, he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, all he would think about was the scenes between him and Yu Sheng.
Xie Hanzhou froze as soon as he lifted the blanket.
With a sullen face, he said to Steward An, "Get out—"
Manager An, completely bewildered, left.
Xie Hanzhou was left alone, looking down at his bed, which was disheveled in the wind.
******
Yu Sheng stretched lazily in a good mood.
Just then, Chen Bolai asked him if he was going to court. After thinking for a moment, Yu Sheng decided to go to court to see someone make a fool of himself.
In contrast to Yu Sheng's good mood, Xie Hanzhou had a gloomy face early in the morning, making the ministers who arrived early not dare to breathe.
The ministers looked at each other, all with the same question in their eyes: Who had angered this tyrant again? It seems the floor tiles might turn red again today.
I wonder who will be the unlucky one today.
It wasn't until Yu Sheng arrived that the ministers stopped looking at each other and began to exchange glances.
They could see with their own eyes that the tyrant above was in an even worse mood when he saw Yu Sheng, and his gaze towards Yu Sheng carried a hint of complexity.
All the adults were wondering if the unlucky guy today would be Yu Sheng.
After all, that tyrant dared to kill even members of the royal family, so even if the Grand Preceptor was rumored to be doing something terrible, he probably would have done it too, right?
Xie Hanzhou glanced at Yu Sheng briefly before quickly looking away.
Even he himself didn't know that just that one glance was enough to make his ears turn red.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but smile as she looked at Xie Hanzhou's unnatural expression.
888: "Oh, happy now? So what little tricks did you pull last night?"
888 was very puzzled.
Although it could observe Xie Hanzhou's thoughts and what he needed to do, it really couldn't understand why Xie Hanzhou's mood fluctuated like a roller coaster last night.
Even more absurdly, it showed that Xie Hanzhou had been sleeping all night.
Can you sleep like that? You must have had some kind of emotionally charged dream.
Yu Sheng explained succinctly, "It's nothing. I just controlled his dreams a little, and as a result, he was incredibly disgusted with me during the day, but at night he wanted to do this and that to me~"
888: "..."
It hates itself for being able to understand so instantly.
"Wow, no wonder you're all smiles! Wait a minute, you didn't actually go into his dream last night, did you?"
Yu Sheng nodded noncommittally.
888 let out a groundhog scream, "Aaaaaah—!"
No wonder it sensed Yu Sheng's romantic feelings early in the morning; it turns out he...
Ha, once you've fallen in love and become enlightened, things are different, aren't they?
They're all rushing to do this...
While Yu Sheng was slacking off during the morning court session, he was having a great time bickering with 888, while Xie Hanzhou was the one who suffered the consequences.
He would glance at Yu Sheng every now and then, making the prime minister, who was standing next to Yu Sheng, tremble with fear, always feeling that the tyrant's blade would fall on his neck at any moment.
The prime minister took a barely perceptible step back.
Then he noticed that Xie Hanzhou's gaze was not fixed on him, but on Yu Sheng, who was slacking off and daydreaming.
The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief.
At least his head was saved, but the Grand Preceptor suffered greatly, constantly subjected to the tyrant's glares.
Yes, that's right.
Our Prime Minister always thought Xie Hanzhou was glaring at Yu Sheng in court.
So much so that when he later learned that Xie Hanzhou and Yu Sheng were together, his expression was like this: ДO
The future prime minister: Who in the family would know? They were already having an affair back then? And they were exchanging glances right under his nose.
Chief Eunuch An watched expressionlessly as His Majesty absentmindedly propped his head up and slacked off, while the ministers below were either dozing off, exchanging glances, or even secretly eating breakfast...
Steward An: So he's the only decent person in the whole hall?
Before leaving the court, Xie Hanzhou briefly mentioned that he and Yu Sheng would be going to Fengzhou to pray for rain, which was affirmed by the ministers.
"Then Your Majesty... is there anyone suitable to act as regent?" Li Qichou started jumping around again.
Xie Hanzhou nodded, resting his head on his hand. "Yes, I have decided to appoint Tingsheng as regent. It will be a good opportunity to train him."
Upon hearing his decision to appoint Xie Tingsheng as regent, Zhao Siqing, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, immediately jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, appointing the Heir Apparent of Anyang as regent is against the rules of propriety..."
"After all, in principle, the one who should be the one to exercise the responsibility of overseeing the country is His Highness Prince Ning."
"Prince Ning?" Xie Hanzhou suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down the spines of the assembled officials.
Xie Hanzhou was furious. "Wei Yan has always been in poor health. How can I let him worry about this? Besides, Wei Yan has never been involved in court affairs. Ting Sheng, on the other hand, is much more experienced than Wei Yan."
"Lord Zhao, is it? Why are you in such a hurry for me to appoint Prince Ning as regent? What are your true intentions? Do you want my only imperial brother to leave me as well?!"
Xie Hanzhou's words were resounding, and he clutched his chest in anguish. Anyone who didn't know better would think he valued his sibling relationships very much!
Everyone: "..."
Yu Sheng almost burst out laughing as she watched all this.
Xie Hanzhou was truly eloquent, leaving the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review speechless.
They managed to trick a member of Prince Ning's faction without lifting a finger; their cunning is truly remarkable!
The courtiers bowed their heads and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Then, with their heads down, they all exchanged glances, and regardless of which faction they belonged to, a faint silence appeared on their faces.
The courtiers: How dare you bring up the fact that you only have Prince Ning as your brother? Who was it that swiftly and decisively killed all those princes and princesses?
This time, it's you again who's heartbroken and values brotherhood, isn't it?
If the timing hadn't been different, they would have rolled their eyes at Xie Hanzhou in front of him.
Trying to act all brotherly at a time like this? Ha, nobody believes you!
