"Why? Your Majesty still refuses to eat?"
Listening to the news from his subordinates, Zhao Yuanqi paused holding the pen, then put the pen on the pen holder and looked up at the man.
"Yes, Your Majesty stared blankly out the window after waking up. No matter how I tried to persuade him, Your Majesty refused to eat a single bite."
"It seems he really doesn't care about his own health." Zhao Yuanqi said this with a hint of sigh, and then asked casually:
"Does father know that we have brought His Majesty out?"
"The news has been brought to you, sir, but I'm afraid you won't be able to join us for the time being."
Ever since Huo Cenji led his troops into the capital, the defense of the capital has become extremely strict.
If he had not found a place before Huo Cenji came to Beijing, it would probably be inconvenient to handle the subsequent matters.
Therefore, it was naturally not so easy for the father who was outside the city to come in.
"No rush, there will be an opportunity soon." Zhao Yuanqi looked leisurely, and his handsome appearance was particularly eye-catching in the subtle reflections of light and shadow.
He just dusted off his clothes calmly and thought nonchalantly -
At that time, he will welcome his father back to the capital openly.
"Oh, right, have someone take the two jade boxes, and have someone prepare some hot food. Come with me to see what our Majesty is so angry about."
"yes!"
The man did not dare to delay, and immediately responded and started to do it.
Whenever Zhao Yuanqi mentioned Tang Yu, he couldn't help but recall the scene of him carrying Tang Yu and walking in the secret passage that day.
Although Tang Yu had been ill for a long time, he did not look weak.
Yes, after all, the little emperor was not suffering from a disease, but a poison, so it was naturally a little different.
This is not surprising.
Zhao Yuanqi raised his eyebrows, adjusted his crescent-shaped white robe, and then paced slowly towards the room where Tang Yu was imprisoned.
*
This place was probably a house somewhere in the capital, because Tang Yu didn't think they had the ability to take him away from the capital.
I think they must have secretly prepared this place a long time ago and were just waiting for the opportunity.
Tang Yu has been observing his surroundings carefully since he opened his eyes. The room where he was imprisoned was quite tidy, and the ancient sandalwood color almost covered the entire room.
It can be seen that they have put a lot of thought into preparing this place.
The silk quilt on the bed was as soft as the ones in the imperial palace, and even the pillows were made of the finest silk.
It’s just that the lighting is not very good, and it seems a bit cramped and dim.
Tang Yu looked at them carefully one by one, but in the end he had no choice but to stare out the window boredly to pass the time.
The meals that were delivered earlier were placed on the yellow pear wood table, but they were now cold. Tang Yu had no appetite and even felt like vomiting. Therefore, even though the person who delivered the meals repeatedly advised him, Tang Yu remained indifferent.
He even felt a little annoyed by listening, so he turned his head and stared at the sycamore tree outside the window, then silently counted the sparrows on the tree in his heart.
When Tang Yu felt a little bored after staring at it, he would suddenly think of -
How would Huo Cenji react when he found out he was kidnapped?
In comparison, he was more curious about this.
But they didn't give him more time to relax. They only heard a rustling sound at the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a large dark shadow was cast at the door.
A frivolous voice suddenly rang out, and Zhao Yuanqi, surrounded by a group of people, slowly walked into the room:
"Your Majesty, are you so angry that you can't even eat?"
Tang Yu slowly turned his head, and when he looked up, he met Zhao Yuanqi's scrutinizing gaze.
That’s not the case, I just can’t eat it.
Tang Yu thought silently in his heart, but before he could speak, Zhao Yuanqi continued to speak:
"In that case, how about I accompany Your Majesty for dinner?"
“…No need.”
However, Zhao Yuanqi seemed not to hear his refusal. He gestured to the group to put the food on the table one by one, and then sat down at the table naturally, looking at Tang Yu with a smile in his eyes.
After putting their things in place, the group of people left quietly, and even considerately closed the door for them at the end.
Tang Yu looked at Zhao Yuanqi a few more times, then muttered to himself:
"I don't think I know him very well."
However, whether they were familiar or not, it didn't seem to prevent Zhao Yuanqi from opening the topic familiarly:
"Your Majesty, do you know why I brought you out?"
"Why?"
Tang Yu looked at Zhao Yuanqi with a serious expression.
Seeing that the little emperor was puzzled but pretending to be calm, Zhao Yuanqi smiled, then opened a jade box on the table and let Tang Yu see clearly what was inside.
I saw a jade seal quietly placed in the box, with a clear light shining under the carved patterns.
The long-lost jade seal suddenly appeared here. Tang Yu frowned in surprise, as if he felt that things were becoming more and more complicated.
This jade seal should have been passed to him by the previous emperor, but the previous emperor died suddenly and the jade seal suddenly disappeared.
Even the attendants around the late emperor could not tell where the jade seal was, so how could it appear here now?
If Tang Yu remembered correctly, the jade seal in front of him was indeed the one that was lost before.
He had personally witnessed the late emperor using the jade seal to imprint the imperial edict appointing Huo Cenji as regent.
Although the imperial seal was lost at that time, as the only heir of the previous emperor, it was natural for him to inherit the throne.
