At first, Huo Cenji was just a little irritated, but at some point, that irritation slowly spread to all parts of his body, even to the point where he could no longer ignore it easily.
The Jingshifanglu was blank, even clean, and had nothing written on it. However, it was precisely because there was nothing written on it that it became obscure and difficult to understand in Huo Cenji's eyes.
Then the inky figure seemed to be stagnant there.
Huo Cenji has a figure like jade and is as tall as a pine tree. Although he fought on the battlefield in his early years, he is not as rough as most military generals. Instead, he has a bit of the gentle style of the south of the Yangtze River. Now his slender waist is completely covered by the ink-black robe, but at a glance, one can still notice the delicacy hidden under the loose clothes.
After a while, the stagnant figure suddenly moved.
Huo Cenji's eyes darkened, but he finally walked towards Tang Yu's bedroom.
Perhaps because he had been there so many times, Huo Cenji could accurately determine the location of Mingxiu Palace even with his eyes closed.
In the past, every time he walked on the way to Mingxiu Palace, he was generally happier in his heart.
Perhaps it was because he saw the little emperor, who was usually serious in the court, showing a bit of arrogance in front of him. That emotion that was unique to him greatly comforted him, making him willing to become a sharp blade for the little emperor to implement the new policy, and then willingly clear the obstacles ahead for Tang Yu.
Candles were lit all night in the bright yellow bedroom. Others only knew that the emperor was afraid of the dark, but they didn't know that they had each other under the dancing candlelight.
But when he came back and set foot in Mingxiu Palace for the first time, he felt only hatred that was about to overflow.
The sweeter the memories of the past were like honey, the deeper the hatred in his heart.
Even when he met Tang Yu for the first time, he almost asked Tang Yu "why" as persistently as those women who were abandoned by their unfaithful lovers.
Why do you treat him like this?
Isn’t Tang Yu still satisfied?
But in the end he didn't ask anything, just stared at Tang Yu's pale and weak face, and slowly raised the sword in his hand.
And what is he going to do this time?
Is it to see with his own eyes whether Tang Yu has reached the point where his body is emaciated and cannot bear the burden, or... for something else?
For the first time, Huo Cenji couldn't make up his mind.
But even though he couldn't figure out the reason, it didn't stop him from moving forward.
When they were about to reach Mingxiu Palace, Huo Cenji slowed down his pace.
But when he entered the main hall and was about to push open the door of Tang Yu's bedroom, he was caught off guard and heard Tang Yu's self-pitying words by coincidence.
That's why the scene of Huo Cenji pushing the door open happened.
*
Tang Yu knew he couldn't escape, so he sighed silently. Then, ready to die, he drank the bowl of black medicine in one gulp.
A short pain is worse than a long one. Since you can't escape it, you might as well cut the Gordian knot.
After just one bowl of medicine, the bitter taste in his throat still made Tang Yu frown involuntarily.
Therefore, when he placed the medicine bowl on the table beside him, he couldn't help but move it a little harder.
Huo Cenji didn't know what he was thinking until he heard the crisp sound of a jade bowl hitting the table, and then he came to his senses.
He stared at Tang Yu for a long time, then suddenly uttered two words:
"Squeamish."
Tang Yu, who hadn't recovered yet, asked: "......?"
The two trembling young attendants beside him: "......?"
Such familiar words should not appear between Tang Yu and the Regent today.
The young attendants lowered their heads and thought quietly, so they didn't see Huo Cenji take out a candied fruit from his sleeve.
Naturally, the candied fruit went into Tang Yu's mouth without any surprise.
After Huo Cenji said those two words, he stuffed the candied fruit into Tang Yu's mouth. His movements were so smooth that even Tang Yu didn't react.
It was not until the bitterness in his mouth was driven away by the sweetness of the candied fruit that Tang Yu looked at Huo Cenji in surprise.
Being stared at with such surprised eyes, the expression on Huo Cenji's face became even colder.
Obviously, he probably also knew that his behavior just now should not happen between them.
Or maybe he didn't know why he brought candied fruit, or why he still took the initiative to feed the candied fruit into Tang Yu's mouth when Tang Yu frowned slightly, just like before.
It all happened so naturally that he didn't even notice anything was wrong while doing it.
However, facing Tang Yu's surprised eyes, he pursed his lips and felt a little annoyed.
But when he opened his mouth, he seemed to be the same Huo Cenji who was always at ease and calm.
"What are you looking at? If Your Majesty could not endure hardship, I would not do this."
After saying this, Tang Yu looked at Huo Cenji a few more times.
Oh, the prince is still so cute even when he is being stubborn.
Now, Tang Yu felt that the bitter medicine he had just drunk was worth it.
He naturally couldn't refute it anymore, so he replied softly:
"What the Regent said is certainly correct."
These words were as light as a breeze in February, and considering Tang Yu's frail body that could fall down with a gust of wind, these words seemed to have a bit of a sarcastic tone.
When Huo Cenji heard this, the veins on his head almost popped out.
So he shook his sleeves and said with a grim expression:
"As long as your majesty knows!"
