Chapter 278 The "sickly" scheming emperor also wants to clear his name 14



Tang Yu expressed some despair.

This kind of scumbag usually just has his ashes scattered, right?

Whitewash? He felt he should die faster.

Seeing Tang Yu's silence, Huo Cenji didn't feel any pleasure in his heart. However, this did not stop him from continuing to ask:

"Perhaps Your Majesty will believe my words only after seeing it with your own eyes?"

The oppressive hand moved away from Tang Yu's chin, and then casually touched the mask, as if it was about to take it off so that Tang Yu could see it clearly.

But just as Huo Cenji was about to take action, a hand colder than a thousand-year-old cold jade quietly pressed down on his hand, preventing him from making the next move.

Huo Cenji sneered with an unclear expression, "Your Majesty, are you afraid to look at my ugly face?"

Tang Yu: “…”

No, how dare he think so?

Even if Huo Cenji was disfigured, at most it would just add a small flaw to that flawless face.

But the flaws do not outweigh the merits. How can the word "ugly" be associated with Huo Cenji?

So Tang Yu shook his head firmly and said softly:

"Of course not."

The emaciated man now held Huo Cenji's hand firmly. Against the light, Huo Cenji could see clearly how white Tang Yu's skin was from not seeing the sun for many years.

Although Tang Yu is thin now, it cannot hide his tall and slender figure. Therefore, when his body leans forward slightly, he looks like a white crane flapping its wings. Every move he makes is calm and dignified.

Huo Cenji stared at Tang Yu for a moment, then brushed Tang Yu's hand away unnoticeably and took several steps back.

"If not, what does Your Majesty want to do?"

In that case, there was no need for Tang Yu to come over, let alone stop him from taking off the mask.

After all, it's because I don't want to see my disfigured face.

Darkness gradually accumulated in Huo Cenji's eyes, like dark clouds that could not be dissolved.

He didn't understand why he had to go through this today. Could it be that in the end he would still be like those women who were abandoned by unfaithful men and still want to chase Tang Yu for an answer?

Or perhaps, he wanted Tang Yu to realize that he was no longer the same person as before?

No matter which one it was, Huo Cenji couldn't help but make fun of himself.

How much do you care about this? To the point of wanting to come close to Tang Yu eagerly.

Oh.

The more Huo Cenji thought about it, the more he felt that his behavior was no different from those women, so his expression became visibly uglier, and in the end he even lowered his eyes and wanted to push the door and leave.

But Tang Yu's words made him stop.

Because when the gentle and light voice came from behind, he actually had the illusion of tenderness and sweetness.

"Cen Ji, it's not that I don't want to see it, it's just that I feel... a little sorry for you."

Oh, smooth talk and hypocrisy!

Huo Cenji didn't turn around, but replied sarcastically:

"I didn't know His Majesty was so 'caring' for people."

Doesn’t Tang Yu think it’s a bit ridiculous to say this?

Or did Tang Yu think that if he coaxed her a few words, she would forget everything in the past and continue to protect him so that he could sit in that seat?

ridiculous!

Tang Yu's light laughter came from behind him, and that laughter seemed to carry a bit of confusion and helplessness:

"Yeah, I shouldn't say this."

"In that case, the Regent may do whatever he wishes with me."

"Since your appearance has been ruined, I will take care of it myself..."

Huo Cenji frowned slightly, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong. When he turned around and saw Tang Yu holding the hairpin in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened.

The sharp hairpin was getting closer and closer to Tang Yu's face. Huo Cenji didn't have time to think about it. He shot out a hidden weapon from his sleeve and knocked the hairpin in Tang Yu's hand to the ground.

Tang Yu raised his head in shock, and the words he had yet to finish were interrupted halfway.

Huo Cenji's eyes seemed to become even colder. Seeing Tang Yu do this, he not only did not feel happy, but it felt like a big hole was broken in his heart.

There were waves of pain.

Could it be that Tang Yu thought that he wanted him to be the same as him?

Or do you think that if he does this, you will give in?

Thinking this way, Huo Cenji asked:

"Does Your Majesty think that I want you to be as disfigured as I am? Or do you think that by doing this, I can forget all the past and never speak of it again?"

"Don't even think about it! Tang Yu! Don't even think about it!"

Huo Cenji's voice was fierce, his body was shaking slightly, and he stared at Tang Yu fiercely, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from Tang Yu.

But it only looked a little cruel, in fact, he didn't touch him at all.

Tang Yu had long seen through Huo Cenji's ferocious disguise, but he did not expose it. Instead, he leaned against the soft pillow with a sad face and muttered to himself:

"You really hate me to this extent..."

"What else?" Huo Cenji withdrew his gaze and curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.

Of course he hated it, hated that their tenderness for many days could not compare to the cold throne.

What's more... he never had any intention of overstepping his authority.

But since Tang Yu cares so much, let Tang Yu see with his own eyes how I got to that position.

right!

Tang Yu not only cannot die now, he must also live well!

So Huo Cenji gritted his teeth and said to Tang Yu word by word:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't do anything."

"Of course, not only will I not do anything, I will also have the divine doctor treat Your Majesty thoroughly, and I will definitely let Your Majesty witness the moment when the Great Qi changes its master!"

Tang Yu (after a brief silence): Well done!

This is a clear-headed business mind!

Tang Yu secretly showed an admiring look.

But he still had to pretend on the surface, so from Huo Cenji's perspective, Tang Yu's black hair was loosely tied up, and his lips were pursed sickly, as if he was suppressing his unwillingness. Perhaps he knew that he was powerless to change the facts, so layers of loneliness fell on his body.

It really looks pitiful.

Huo Cenji snorted lightly, thinking that he had found Tang Yu's weakness, and then he became at ease again.

He turned the white jade ring and took the initiative to say goodbye "mercifully":

"Your Majesty, please rest on your own. I will leave first."

When I opened the door, the sun had already set outside.

Even without looking back, Huo Cenji could guess Tang Yu's expression at the moment, but so what?

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place...
