Liu Ziqing was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart. So finally, he stepped into the imperial study with an extremely complicated mentality.
As soon as he entered, he saw Huo Cenji leaning against a white jade chair. The chair's crystal clearness contrasted sharply with Huo Cenji's dark clothes, yet they matched perfectly. This even gave Liu Ziqing the illusion that this place belonged to Huo Cenji. However, when he thought of the weak little emperor still lying on the bed, Liu Ziqing coughed twice with a guilty conscience.
Now, Liu Ziqing finally remembered why he wanted to see His Highness.
Well, I still have to report to the little emperor.
But just before Liu Ziqing opened his mouth, Huo Cenji's cold and majestic voice had already echoed softly in the imperial study room -
"Are you, like them, trying to persuade me to ascend to that position as quickly as possible?"
Then a pair of dark eyes looked at Liu Ziqing. There was a faint scrutiny in those eyes, but more of it was unpredictable changes that were difficult for people to see.
Indeed, Liu Ziqing seemed to have never seen Huo Cenji show any emotion that was inconsistent with his status. Even when he accidentally picked up the injured and unconscious Huo Cenji and needed to help Huo Cenji reconnect his broken leg bones, Huo Cenji never said a word.
Therefore, even if he had now entered the palace "openly" and sat on the white jade chair that symbolized the emperor's power, His Highness would not show any joy on his face.
That's normal.
When Liu Ziqing met that indifferent gaze, this thought couldn't help but pop up in his mind.
But he soon realized that the Regent was asking him a question, so he didn't have time to think about it. At that moment, he blurted out:
"No, Your Highness. I just came here to inform you that I have asked the imperial physician to treat the little emperor."
After Liu Ziqing said that, he realized belatedly how important what His Highness had told him was.
Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful and annoyed.
If I had known earlier, I would have just followed His Highness's words. This way, I could at least find out what His Highness was really thinking.
Those colleagues had asked His Highness for his opinion many times before, but His Highness had not made a clear statement.
They thought that before the outcome was settled, His Highness would inevitably be more cautious. When His Highness led them to the palace and entered the capital, His Highness would make the decision without them having to say anything.
But judging from the tone His Highness just used, does He have other plans?
Liu Ziqing was about to continue what he had just said when he saw Huo Cenji looking up at him and said in a slightly cold tone:
"Imperial Physician? Didn't I ask you to check him out?"
If those imperial doctors really had some skills, the little emperor's health wouldn't be in such a bad state.
Haha, what can those imperial doctors see?
Huo Cenji sneered, but sat up straighter to listen to Liu Ziqing's explanation.
Perhaps it was because the Prince Regent had fought on the battlefield in his early years and then had been up and down in the court for many years, so when he looked at people directly, there was inevitably a sense of oppression in his eyes.
Therefore, from the princes to the court officials, everyone would more or less restrain themselves in front of him.
However... among so many people, Tang Yu was probably the only one who dared to show off his temper in front of him despite the oppression and intimidation, and he was even not afraid of the pressure and bullied and teased him severely.
That's why he retreated step by step, and finally willingly became a chess piece and a knife in Tang Yu's hands.
Thinking of this, Huo Cenji showed a rare look of annoyance on his face. Liu Ziqing, who was standing opposite him, suddenly felt a pang in his heart and quickly explained:
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to see for the little emperor..."
In fact, he has already arranged the silver needles!
"It's just that the little emperor was quite annoyed when he saw me after he woke up, so I called another imperial physician... However, the little emperor looked tired and said a lot of things that were not true..."
Liu Ziqing still admires and respects Huo Cenji in his heart, otherwise he would not have followed Huo Cenji until now. Therefore, most of the time, Liu Ziqing appears to be particularly well-behaved in front of Huo Cenji.
Of course, this time is no exception.
Liu Ziqing explained tremblingly, but in his heart he was guessing why His Highness was so upset.
Could it be that Your Highness is still worried about the little emperor?
That's true. After all, the little emperor was brought up by His Highness himself and reached his current position step by step.
However, it was the little emperor who was ungrateful!
Liu Ziqing didn't understand and was very confused. He stood up straight and lowered his head silently.
Huo Cenji quickly grasped the key point in the words, frowned, looked at Liu Ziqing and asked:
"Why is he annoyed with you? What... did he say that was half-truthful?"
Liu Ziqing was silent for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell the story of how he got carried away and used the title of His Highness to block the little emperor.
However, under the pressure of Huo Cenji's gaze, Liu Ziqing could only tell him what happened at that time, and then described in detail the changes in the little emperor's expression.
"...That's it, so I'll leave first." Liu Ziqing said as he carefully observed Huo Cenji's expression, but in his heart he re-examined the relationship between the little emperor and the regent.
Could it be that... the Regent still has some feelings for the little emperor?
If Tang Yu, who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, knew what Liu Ziqing was thinking, he would nod and show an approving look.
"Good eyesight."
Huo Cenji fiddled with the white jade ring on his thumb, and the dark look in his eyes suddenly dissipated, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
