Mu Beichen shook his head, "I don't want it."
The emperor was slightly stunned. "We are the only two here, father and son. You don't need to be so cautious. I won't blame you."
"Your Majesty, every word I say is sincere. I have no ulterior motives." Mu Beichen curved his lips. "Your Majesty, you have toiled for most of your life, yet you couldn't even care for the person you love most. I don't want to spend the rest of my life like this. I just want to be with the one I love the whole life."
Hearing this, the emperor looked at his most satisfied son and was silent for a long time. He finally spoke, "Is the person you love the son of the Yu family?"
Mu Beichen was startled, but remained calm and admitted frankly, "Yes."
The Emperor sighed and withdrew his hand. "So, you previously overthrew the Prime Minister and the General for me, and targeted Xiaoliu and Hong'er, all because of him?"
Mu Beichen nodded, without any intention of concealing it.
The emperor suddenly didn't know what to say.
"If you like him, why do you lock him up?"
Mu Beichen lowered his head when he heard this.
The Emperor: "Do you know what would happen if Minister Yu knew?"
Mu Beichen pursed his lips and remained silent.
The Emperor patted his hand. "Beichen, I'm well aware of your talents. No one is more suitable for this position than you, but you insist on not taking it. Then you must take the position of Regent, right? Without power, you can't protect your lover, and you won't be able to withstand Minister Yu's wrath."
Mu Beichen opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, I will follow your instructions, Father."
Hearing this, the emperor smiled broadly and said, "Good boy, the kingdom of Zhao is now handed over to you."
After Mu Beichen left, the emperor called Yu Zhiyi and a group of officials.
No one knows what they said.
Mu Beichen didn't care and went straight to the bedroom.
Yan Xi was so hungry that he felt dizzy and his eyes were blurry. Xiao Lingzi prepared some food for him, but he ate it ravenously, and his eating manners were extremely uncouth.
When Mu Beichen arrived, he had a chicken leg in his mouth, which was full of oil. The scene was awkward for a while.
Yan Xi quickly wiped her mouth, sat up straight, and looked at him with a smile that didn't show her teeth, "Beichen, you're back."
"Yeah." Mu Beichen smiled faintly, gave Xiao Lingzi a look, and immediately went out quickly.
Looking at the remains of the chicken leg on the table, he smiled lightly, propped up his chin and looked at him, "Go on, you look good no matter what."
The sweet words touched Yan Xi's heart. She curved her eyebrows and began to eat without any scruples. "You seem to be in a good mood today. Did the Emperor give you anything again?"
"That should be it." Mu Beichen said uncertainly, "My father wants me to be the regent and manage the State of Zhao for him."
Yan Xi paused, he is worthy of being the male lead, no matter how the plot goes astray, his career line cannot go astray.
"So you agree?"
"Yes, I agree." Mu Beichen took out a handkerchief from his collar and wiped the oil stains on his cheek. "As for your father, I want to take you to apologize to him tomorrow."
Yan Xi stopped gnawing on the chicken leg, looked up suddenly, and shook her head at him, "No need, I just want to spend the next few days with you."
He has died once and cannot die a second time.
Otherwise, Yu Zhiyi would have to endure the pain of seeing his loved one die.
That feeling is not pleasant.
Hearing his words, Mu Beichen's heart was as sweet as honey, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Yan Xi, do you really think so?"
Yan Xi blinked, "Yeah, what? You don't want to? If not, forget it. I'm leaving now."
As he said this, he stood up and pretended to leave.
Mu Beichen was anxious and quickly hugged him from behind, "It's not that I don't want it, on the contrary, I'm eager for it."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi curled her lips, turned around, raised her chin, and pretended to be angry, "Humph, I knew you were testing me, old fox."
Mu Beichen leaned closer and smiled softly in his ear, "Wrong, it's a big fox."
Yan Xi: “…” Old rogue!
