Tang Yu more or less knew that Huo Cenji was a little angry at the moment, but men's hearts were unpredictable, and Tang Yu really didn't know where Huo Cenji's anger came from.
So Tang Yu winked at the young attendants, signaling them to leave first.
He knew that the wound, which was so shallow that it couldn't be any shallower, was enough to show that Huo Cenji couldn't bring himself to attack him for the time being.
But if it were someone else, it’s hard to say.
As luck would have it, this scene was seen by Huo Cenji.
The next second, Tang Yu heard the steady and mature Regent say to him in a sarcastic tone:
"Your Majesty, are you worried that I might embarrass the officials?"
The words seemed to pop out from Huo Cenji's lips one by one, and coupled with Huo Cenji's unfriendly look, Tang Yu had reason to suspect that if he nodded in agreement, a piece of his flesh would be torn off in the next second.
So Tang Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
Huo Cenji's face was grim. He had seen all of Tang Yu's hesitation.
Oh…
He turned his head, stared at the two attendants and said in a low voice:
"Get out of here!"
The two attendants saw His Majesty nodding to them with his eyes closed through the back of the Regent. Their hearts sank, and they finally followed Tang Yu's instructions and left.
"Your Majesty, are you relieved now?"
A sudden voice sounded, Tang Yu opened his eyes but did not look at Huo Cenji.
Huo Cenji didn't hear Tang Yu's voice and didn't get annoyed. Instead, he chuckled and brought up something completely unrelated, contrary to his usual behavior.
"Your Majesty, are you aware that the left and right prime ministers you personally promoted have already surrendered to me?"
"Do you know how many people are hoping that I can take your seat?"
"Then your Majesty said—"
"What should I do now?"
Huo Cenji kept calling his Majesty "Your Majesty", but there was no respect in his words. It was as if he was teasing a kitten or puppy that had no power to fight back, relaxed and at the same time full of malice.
As the malice in his words clearly showed, Huo Cenji said this because he wanted to see the little emperor show panic and fear.
Taking away the throne that the little emperor had worked so hard to secure should be the biggest blow to him, right?
After all, Tang Yu only cares about this. As for other things, Tang Yu has always treated them as worn-out shoes.
Isn’t the sincerity he carefully displayed a good example?
Huo Cenji gritted his teeth and laughed again with an ambiguous tone, which made Tang Yu feel a little creepy.
So he patiently waited for Tang Yu's reaction, but unfortunately——
The white figure on the bed suddenly started coughing. As his body involuntarily leaned forward and backward, Tang Yu looked even thinner, so thin that it was even a bit annoying.
Tang Yu stretched out his snow-white hand without a trace of blood to cover the lower half of his face. His brows and eyes were tired, as if he had suffered a great shock.
Huo Cenji frowned upon seeing this. Not only did he not feel the slightest joy in his heart, but... he felt a faint sense of regret.
Is he too excited?
After all, Tang Yu's health was already in such a bad state...
But as soon as this thought came up, Huo Cenji suppressed it.
He reminded himself coldly in his heart—
"Tang Yu doesn't need your pity."
“Cough cough… cough…”
The intermittent coughing continued, and Huo Cenji didn't know when he arrived at Tang Yu's bedside.
He looked down at Tang Yu's body, which was like a sick bamboo, and finally, as if possessed by a ghost, he reached out and gently stroked Tang Yu's back.
Through a thin layer of undershirt, Huo Cenji helped Tang Yu breathe smoothly again and again.
During this repetitive process, Huo Cenji had only one thought in his mind -
"Tang Yu...how did you become so thin?"
When Tang Yu's breathing gradually became smoother, Huo Cenji slowly removed his hand. He didn't know if it was Tang Yu's illusion, but he seemed to feel that Huo Cenji still had some...
Still wanting more?
Tang Yu quickly retracted his thoughts.
However, the trick of diverting attention just now was still a good one. At least Huo Cenji would not ask him those fatal questions for a while.
But it was too early for Tang Yu to be happy.
Huo Cenji really didn't intend to ask any more questions, but recalling the feeling he had just felt in his hand, he lowered his eyes and asked something else:
"Your Majesty, is this how you are going to ruin the body I have carefully nurtured?"
It was obvious that Tang Yu had been taken care of by him until her complexion became rosy and she was already getting better. She could even enjoy the pleasure of indulgence more often. How...how could she be like this now?
Huo Cenji frowned slightly, with more disbelief in his eyes.
He didn't believe that Tang Yu's health could be so bad.
Tang Yu had no choice. According to the world's plot, it was normal for his body to become like this.
But a dumb person could not express his pain, so Tang Yu could only turn his head away and remain silent and pretend to be stupid.
But in Huo Cenji's eyes, this was obviously a last-ditch resistance against him.
So he restrained his facial expression, a hint of coldness condensed in his eyes, and he came to a firm conclusion:
"It turns out that His Majesty is truly incapable of sexual activity."
"That's why there's nothing written in that Jingshifanglu. It's not that Your Majesty doesn't want to, but that you're powerless, right?"
When he talked about the latter part, Huo Cenji's face had already turned ashen.
He didn't even call Tang Yu "Your Majesty" anymore.
