Huo Cenji picked up a cup of cold tea from the table and gulped it down. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he finally laughed softly:
"Tang Yu..."
"Why am I actually worried about you?"
Whenever he sent someone to look for Tang Yu in order to stabilize the situation, he could tell himself—
"You're just thinking about the greater good."
But that is not the case.
There was a nine-year age difference between him and Tang Yu. When he crossed the line between monarch and subject and became a lover, he never felt that he was in a weak position in the relationship.
Because he was nine years older than Tang Yu, he was used to speaking to Tang Yu in a tone of teaching and admonition.
He always thought that he was able to handle this shady relationship with ease.
But he never expected that he would fall so hard into the hands of a boy who was nine years younger than him.
hehe……
The curve of Huo Cenji's mouth trembled slightly, and in the end he didn't even know whether he was crying or laughing.
But at this moment, he felt a bit more absurdly determined:
Since I promised the late emperor that I would protect Tang Yu no matter what, after bringing Tang Yu back this time, I still...
Just lock him on the dragon bed.
Keeping it under his nose and watching it all the time is considered to be worthy of the trust of the late emperor.
At this moment, Tang Yu, who was also drinking tea, accidentally choked and spat out the tea, then started coughing violently.
Cough! Cough!
The sound was so heartbreaking that even the guards outside couldn't bear to hear it.
"How about telling the adults?" suggested a person guarding the door.
The other person nodded quickly: "Yeah!"
If something goes wrong, can they afford it?
*
"If Your Majesty still doesn't care about your health, then I don't mind helping Your Majesty take care of it."
Zhao Yuanqi, who came rushing in with two people, kept looking at Tang Yu. Finally, he stared at Tang Yu until his scalp numbed, and then he slowly said this sentence.
Tang Yu, who was just choked, said: "..."
He spoke as if he was seeking death.
Are people not allowed to cough?
Zhao Yuanqi stared at the little emperor's dark head. The angle at which it drooped was exactly the same as when he was punished by Huo Cenji.
Just now, a servant came to report that the little emperor was coughing heart-wrenchingly in his room, but he was holding it in and didn't call for help.
It seems that the little emperor is still so strong-willed.
The light in Zhao Yuanqi's eyes gradually dimmed. He didn't say anything, but just nodded to the people around him.
The man seemed to understand what he meant. He took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Yuanqi with both hands.
Zhao Yuanqi looked at it carefully for a while before muttering to himself, "Is this the medicine that can save the little emperor's life?"
Perhaps because his voice was too soft, all Tang Yu heard was:
"&%&#...Little Emperor#￥...medicine?"
Actually, he used to have pretty good hearing, really.
This only happened after I took over this body.
After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, the system quickly came out to comfort him: "Yes, yes, host. Do you want me to help you cheat later?"
Make sure the host becomes more clairaudient!
"...No need." Tang Yu refused without hesitation.
He didn't want the system to come out and deduct money from him when he finally calculated the points in the small world.
He believed that such a behavioral system was entirely feasible.
"Okay." The system sighed in disappointment with its ears drooping.
The sales promotion failed, so just go back.
Zhao Yuanqi here finally started his next step. He poured two small brown pills into his fair palm, then handed the medicine bottle to his subordinates and walked over.
"Your Majesty, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Take the medicine first." There was a hint of hypocritical concern in Zhao Yuanqi's tone. If Tang Yu didn't know this man's true face, he probably wouldn't be able to find any fault with him.
Tang Yu would not eat anything else within the limits of his circumstances, so he turned his head away in resistance, silently expressing his refusal.
But this did not pose a problem for Zhao Yuanqi. He just sneered, then turned Tang Yu's chin and fed the medicine into Tang Yu's mouth. His other hand was not idle either. He took the water handed by his subordinates and poured it into Tang Yu's throat in one go.
The pill was naturally taken.
After doing all this, Zhao Yunqi still gave a fake smile, pretending to be embarrassed:
"I have no other choice but to do this."
Tang Yu: “…”
Perhaps it was because he drank too much water, Tang Yu's lips became moist and slightly shiny.
However, Tang Yu didn't care about these things. Instead, he smacked his lips and began to savor the taste of the medicine.
If he was not mistaken, this medicine... seemed to be the same as the medicine prepared in his palace?
These medicines were managed by his mother. Even after his mother passed away, these medicines were only given to people around him. How could the Zhao family have them?
Tang Yu's heart sank, but he was more excited.
It seems that he made the right move.
There is a glimmer of hope for the side quests.
So Tang Yu, who was concentrating on the side quest, naturally didn't notice that Zhao Yuanqi's gaze stayed on his lips for two or three seconds.
After Zhao Yuanqi turned his gaze away, he said with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm in his heart:
"Since Your Majesty has taken the medicine, I will follow you to another place."
"Why?" Tang Yu frowned, looking reluctant.
