Due to excessive blood loss and the worsening of the infection, Yuwen Xu's complexion still appeared pale and weak.
In the end, I'm still a little reluctant to part with it.
Before leaving, Su Yan took out three pieces of candy from her purse.
With her head bowed, she carefully placed it in Yuwen Xu's hand.
Given Su Yan's personality, in a setting where state affairs are being discussed, it would be against the rules to secretly give him candy like this.
That's not her usual style of doing things.
In the end, however, she still gave him the candy.
Then, he left with the tray.
The study door opened and closed again.
The sound rang out and then faded away.
The study remained completely silent.
Until the general closest to Yuwen Xu couldn't help but speak up.
"Your Highness?"
No one responded.
The general coughed.
"Your Highness???"
At this moment, the Regent, who had been looking down at the candy in his hand, finally remembered that there was still a group of people in the room who hadn't been sent away.
After a long pause, Yuwen Xu's voice was soft.
"How did the discussions go?"
A civil official stood up.
Everyone acted as if no one had been there and continued.
"Does Your Highness think that the new emperor's ascension to the throne on the tenth of next month is a bit too hasty? But if it is delayed any further, it might be too late, after all, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day."
They had been agonizing over this matter for over an hour.
In the end, they decided to ask the Regent to make the decision.
but····.
Yuwen Xu raised his eyebrows, his dark eyes sweeping over the group of people with a chilling gaze.
His thin lips parted slightly.
"If you can't even resolve such a small matter, what use are you to the imperial court?"
The four civil officials were taken aback.
Yuwen Xu gently squeezed the candy in his hand, his tone slow and deliberate.
Give me an answer tomorrow. I don't keep useless people around.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire study fell silent.
Your Highness, why do you change your attitude so suddenly?
Wasn't everything fine just now?
With a clatter, Yuwen Xu picked up a memorial with his slender hand and placed it on the table.
indifferent expression
"If there is nothing else, you may leave."
This is practically a way of telling people to leave.
As a result, less than half an hour after Su Yan left, the people in the study had already left in twos and threes.
The servants had been extremely busy for the past few days and thought they would be busy for a long time to come.
To everyone's surprise, the discussions ended just after noon today.
Dinner was unusually early today.
Before the sun had even set, a long table had already been set up in the courtyard, and dishes were being served one after another.
The mimosa tree swayed in the wind, and occasionally one or two mimosa flowers drifted down.
I don't know where it drifted away with the wind.
Su Yan looked at the table full of food, then at Yuwen Xu, who was sitting silently in a wooden wheelchair beside her.
"Dinner so early?"
His eyes were filled with doubt.
Yuwen Xu looked at her, his tone revealing no emotion.
"Aren't you hungry?"
Su Yan touched her belly.
Yes, I am indeed hungry.
Although I ate three more plates of snacks after lunch.
But I'm still hungry.
So he didn't say anything more and started eating.
After eating for a while, I noticed that he had been watching me the whole time.
They didn't seem very interested in the food on the table.
He reached out and picked up a piece of bok choy with his chopsticks, placing it on his porcelain plate.
She explained very seriously
"The imperial physician said that you cannot eat meat."
It seems that his explanation worked.
Finally, I watched as he picked up his chopsticks and began eating the bok choy in front of him.
Thinking of the wound on his chest.
She stood up and placed all the edible food in front of him.
Make sure he gets to eat.
She watched him eat slowly and deliberately, bite by bite.
Su Yan then continued to gnaw on the chicken leg.
