When Tang Yu knelt down, there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes.
No... he must have heard it wrong. The emperor gave an oral order, and it was to himself?
When the protagonist saw Tang Yu's shocked and bewildered look, he began to nod and smile with great satisfaction.
He knew that Tang Yu would be very happy to hear the news, and it was worth it for him to change two fast horses and rush here quickly. Everything was worth it!
I’m afraid Tang Yu doesn’t know what good news is waiting for him?
The protagonist stared at Tang Yu and smiled meaningfully. He did not keep Tang Yu in suspense any longer, but returned to his previous serious look and said:
"Because Tang Yu was effective in pacifying the refugees and solving the manpower problem for the floods in the three southern continents, Tang Yu has been pardoned and allowed to return to the capital!"
After saying this, the protagonist looked at Tang Yu expectantly, as if he was very curious about Tang Yu's reaction when he heard the emperor's oral instructions.
Tang Yu must feel that after all the hardship comes happiness, right?
Alas, the protagonist also feels mixed emotions.
After all, he and Tang Yu have been classmates since childhood, and he knows Tang Yu's talent very well, so he feels so sorry for Tang Yu.
But the pearl will not be covered in dust, and now is the best time for Tang Yu to return to the capital!
However, he was only focused on Tang Yu and did not notice that Xiao Shaoyin's eyes were gloomy and her hands were clenched tightly, but she looked at Tang Yu from time to time.
Xiao Shaoyin felt nervous, awkward, and about to lose something all at once.
He clenched his teeth, as if forcing himself not to speak.
But a panic quietly emerged in his heart. If Tang Yu really chose to return to the capital, then... what about himself?
Will Tang Yu let him follow?
Or leave yourself here?
He didn't know, but he could only place all his hopes on Tang Yu, as if Tang Yu's words could easily determine their future fate.
Therefore, when these two burning gazes stayed on Tang Yu, Tang Yu naturally could not ignore them, but quickly thought of his choice in a short time.
"Thank you for your grace!"
When these words were spoken, one person was happy and the other was sad.
But Tang Yu's next words easily changed the situation. Tang Yu said to the protagonist with a firm gaze:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I no longer plan to return to the capital."
Xiao Shaoyin stared at Tang Yu blankly, and when she heard Tang Yu's unusually firm words, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
But the protagonist is very confused, this is such a good opportunity!
So he asked in confusion: "Why?"
"The county magistrate had previously sensed that the refugee situation might get out of control, so he left the county early this morning. I had no choice but to take over the relevant matters. These are my responsibilities and do not deserve such leniency from Your Majesty."
"Besides, I deserve to be demoted here, and I will never forget it."
"I hope you will tell me that I will do my duty in this life, but I am not qualified to enter the capital again."
Tang Yu spoke to the protagonist with such earnest words and measured his actions, which directly blocked the protagonist and made him unable to say a word of advice.
The protagonist said unwillingly: "But the emperor has already issued an oral order..."
"I really don't deserve this!"
Tang Yu politely declined with full emotion.
No... Do you think it's fun to go back to the capital?
Before, he had to follow the plot and work in officialdom. He had to get up early every day to attend court. Sometimes he was summoned by the emperor to discuss matters. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink tea!
Tang Yu didn't want to recall such a miserable life at all.
Fortunately, when I return home from court, Shao Yin's gentleness and thoughtfulness always allow me to relax temporarily. Otherwise——
There is absolutely no hope in living like that!
Now you ask him to return to the capital?
No, impossible!
He is willing to devote his whole life to this place!
Perhaps because Tang Yu's words were so sincere and heartfelt, the protagonist finally had to give up trying to persuade her and sighed, "Tang Yu, I was wrong about you..."
Tang Yu: “……?”
Then the next second he heard the protagonist's praise for him without any concealment, and he directly praised him:
"You are so indifferent to power that you are willing to endure the hardships here!"
Tang Yu: “…”
No, brother, I'm not having a hard time!
Or take a look at the meal on this table?
This doesn't look like hardship at all, does it?
But he figured that wouldn't make sense, so he didn't continue the conversation and asked, "Are you hungry? Why don't you have a meal?"
He was tired, so he decided to skip the topic.
Dining is the best option right now.
The protagonist also cooperated very well and said "OK". When he wanted to reach out to pull Tang Yu up from the ground, a white and slender hand reached out to Tang Yu before him.
Xiao Shaoyin was the first to smile at the protagonist, and said gently but politely: "I'm here. You are the guest, so you should eat first."
That’s right, it’s normal for Mrs. Tang Yu to come and help. When will it be my turn?
It's rude, really rude.
The protagonist tactfully withdrew his words and quickly said, "I didn't think it through..."
Xiao Shaoyin did not respond, but smiled softly at Tang Yu, the sinister look in her eyes no longer there: "Husband, get up..."
Tang Yu glanced at Xiao Shaoyin suspiciously, wondering in his heart—
In the past, Shao Yin never called herself like this in front of outsiders, so what's going on now?
It’s okay, the system will give a vague answer.
