Tang Yu had never been so grateful that he had upheld the moral principles of a man.
You see, there's a cause for every effect. If he hadn't observed male virtue, how would Huo Cenji know about this now? Even if he thought a little too much, there wouldn't be any problem with the progress bar increasing!
Tang Yu changed his posture and lay down comfortably. He felt that the dark and heavy road ahead suddenly became a little brighter.
Ahem...it's not impossible to whitewash this.
Just when Tang Yu was in a good mood, the young attendant who always served by his side came in carrying a bowl of black medicine.
Tang Yu took a look and smelled the bitter smell of the medicine, and suddenly a sense of something was wrong flashed through his mind.
Wait! How did he just faint?
He remembered that before he fell asleep, there seemed to be a circle of people standing beside the bed, and of course, there was Liu Ziqing, who was both a strategic and medical expert.
but……
Hiss, how did he fall asleep?
It would be fine if he didn't think about it, but as soon as he thought about it, the vague memories in Tang Yu's mind came back.
Good, good, Liu Ziqing didn't hesitate at all when he was giving the acupuncture. Not only was he quick but he was also accurate. It seems that he has the demeanor of a great general and is worthy of being the counselor that Huo Cenji values.
With this said, the bowl of black medicine in the young attendant's hand seemed to have an explanation.
Fortunately, Tang Yu still had the "precious" buff, so facing this bowl of medicine, he could not only frown with good reason, but he could even wave his hands in resistance.
At this point, he only needed to say a few more words of self-pity, and the young attendant would not dare to persuade him anymore.
Tang Yu propped up his chin, his deep eyes silently staring out the window, looking at the bright scenery and sighing softly:
"What's the point of drinking these medicines?"
"Now it seems that I am no different from those fading late spring scenes..."
"Bang--" The door with exquisite vermilion carvings was suddenly kicked open, and the person who appeared at the door was Huo Cenji, who was wearing a black robe.
After hearing Tang Yu's self-pitying words, he sneered:
"In that case, why don't you drink the medicine?"
"Don't you think your life is short enough?"
The words were blunt and without a trace of warmth, even sounding a bit harsh. It was obviously to persuade Tang Yu to take the medicine, but coupled with Huo Cenji's cold and distant expression, it seemed more like a few extremely unpleasant words.
The sudden appearance of the figure and voice made Tang Yu look over involuntarily. When his eyes met Huo Cenji's calm eyes, Tang Yu pursed his lips, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
It's over, he can't escape this unpalatable medicine.
Tang Yu felt hopeless.
Seeing Tang Yu turning his head away in anger, Huo Cenji's eyelids twitched. He seemed to have not expected that Tang Yu, who had been sitting on the throne for a long time, would actually act like a spoiled brat.
The more Tang Yu acted like this, the more Huo Cenji wanted Tang Yu to stare at him and not be able to avoid him.
So he strode towards the young attendant, snatched the bowl of medicine from the young attendant's hand, and went towards Tang Yu without hesitation.
When he was very close to Tang Yu, Huo Cenji raised his lips with a forced smile and said:
"Do you want me to feed you myself?"
Tang Yu was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't expect Huo Cenji to be as persistent as before, and he would not give up until he finished drinking the medicine.
However, at this critical moment, Tang Yu was still in the mood to think—
"Feeding in person? Like the intimate feeding we used to have?"
If that's the case...it seems like he isn't the one who suffers.
Tang Yu accidentally let his gaze linger on Huo Cenji's thin lips for a moment, but when Huo Cenji was about to notice, he decisively retracted his gaze.
Ahem... I was almost discovered.
Tang Yu lowered his head and stared at the bright yellow brocade quilt, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Huo Cenji frowned slightly, stared at Tang Yu suspiciously for a long time, and his hand holding the medicine bowl tightened involuntarily.
Did he see it wrong?
Tang Yu seemed to be staring at his... mouth?
However, that illusion disappeared so quickly that even Huo Cenji was wondering if he had seen it wrong.
But this little episode did not make him forget his main business. He handed the medicine bowl in his hand forward, as if giving Tang Yu a second chance.
In fact, it turned out that Huo Cenji really thought so. Just when he was getting impatient and was about to give the medicine to Tang Yu himself, Tang Yu stretched out his porcelain-skinned hand and took the medicine bowl.
It had been a long time since Huo Cenji had looked at Tang Yu's body at such a close distance, so when the hand passed by him, he subconsciously took a few more glances.
Noticing the particularly obvious blue streaks on Tang Yu's arms, his eyes deepened a little, and he remembered what he had just seen in the imperial study.
*
"Your Highness, this is what you want."
A guard held the Jingshifanglu in both hands, half-knelt and raised it above his head.
However, because he kept his head down, he did not see the expression on His Highness's face at the moment. He didn't even know why His Highness asked him to get this thing.
Could it be...
I want to find out whether the little emperor is as the rumors say, although his body is not very useful, but he is addicted to... those things?
So, Your Highness is indeed very thoughtful.
There was a bit more conviction in the guard's eyes, and the doubts in his heart disappeared completely.
His Highness must have his reasons for doing this.
Huo Cenji's ink-black sleeves trembled slightly with the movement of his hands. He took the Jingshifanglu and spread it on the table to read it carefully.
At this moment, the imperial study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The guard did get up, but without Huo Cenji, he didn't dare to go out, so he could only stand upright on the side, lowering his head and counting the blue bricks on the ground.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly——
The emerald green teacup fell to the ground, and the splashed tea residue and tea stayed in the air for a while.
The guard raised his head in surprise and was about to step forward to ask when he heard His Highness lower his voice and say:
"You go out first. I accidentally knocked over the teacup. I'll have someone clean it up later."
"Yes." The guard answered, not daring to stay any longer, and slipped away very quickly.
Only after the guards left did Huo Cenji's tense body relax. He gritted his teeth and scanned the words on the booklet over and over again with his keen eyes.
how so?
Tang Yu hasn't touched those people in the harem in these years?
But why was the news of Tang Yu’s harem election so vivid?
Even he...had to believe...
Huo Cenji's slender and powerful fingers tightly grasped the booklet. He suddenly closed the booklet and exhaled deeply.
It was Tang Yu who released those news to cover up the truth...
Or is it that Tang Yu's health condition has become so serious that he is unable to function?
