"Sir, what is the purpose of calling me down here?"
"Go find a doctor." Zhao Yuanqi stared at the book in his hand and gave the order calmly without even raising his head.
In fact, it’s not that he didn’t want to raise his head, but if he raised his head, he would inevitably see the little emperor.
Just now, the little emperor climbed up from the ground with his hand, and then sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word. After a long time, he quietly rubbed his knees.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yuanqi even wondered if he was too harsh on the little emperor.
Otherwise, why would he not tell me when he was injured? Could he be such an unreasonable person?
Zhao Yuanqi's face couldn't help but turn ugly, but he couldn't bring himself to ask the little emperor where he was hit, so after sitting for a while, he called his confidant over and told him about it.
"Sir...I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient right now?" The confidant hesitated for a moment and cautiously mentioned the situation outside:
"The Royal Guards have been actively pursuing us lately. In your opinion, it would be best if we don't show up for now."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhao Yuanqi's expression and quickly made amends:
"If the situation isn't serious, our people can..."
"Okay, then ask someone to bring the golden medicine." Zhao Yuanqi interrupted his confidant and simply stated his request directly.
What his confidant said was not without reason, but whenever he thought of the scene he had just seen, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Even in his mind, there were some subtle contrasting thoughts——
Huo Cenji took good care of the little emperor, but once he was in his hands, he kept stumbling.
This feeling of frustration silently reappeared in Zhao Yuanqi's heart, and even reminded him of the time a few years ago when Huo Cenji had easily surpassed him when he passed the imperial examination.
hateful!
Zhao Yuanqi's handsome face was filled with rage, and he slammed the book in his hand heavily on the table, causing his hand to hurt.
The confidant obviously noticed the momentary twist in his master's expression, so he hurried over to ask with concern:
"Are you alright, my lord?"
"It's okay!" Zhao Yuanqi squeezed out two words from between his teeth, and finally waved his hand to signal his confidant to get the medicine, not caring at all about the fact that his hand had just been hit.
However, after everyone left, Zhao Yuanqi, who had been spoiled since childhood, couldn't help but take two deep breaths, making a "hissing" sound with his mouth, staring at his hands carefully, and then pretended nothing had happened and put his hands behind his back.
Tang Yu took a few secret glances and almost laughed out loud.
However, he was still worried that Zhao Yuanqi would become angry and do something even more irrational, so he wisely chose to remain silent.
In fact, neither of them was in good condition, and they were both injured.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic towards his fellow cannon fodder.
So Tang Yu was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but persuade indirectly:
"My dear, why do you have to do this?"
You can't beat Huo Cenji.
"It's better to turn back sooner rather than later and let the world remain in turmoil."
However, Tang Yu guessed that Zhao Yuanqi would not accept it, but in fact, Zhao Yuanqi's reaction to this was even more intense than he had imagined:
"Your Majesty, that's easy to say!"
"But instead of trying to persuade me to stop, Your Majesty should think about why you yourself have ended up in this situation!"
"If Huo Cenji can sit in that seat, why can't I?"
"He's the top scholar, and I'm the third. Does that mean he's going to have to outdo me in everything from now on?"
"The late emperor valued Huo Cenji, and Your Majesty also chose Huo Cenji. Now, won't you allow me to fight for myself?"
Zhao Yuanqi looked very excited, and at last he seemed to want to grab his collar and complain to him.
Tang Yu sighed quietly in his heart, and suddenly regretted the advice he had just given.
Everyone has their own choices. Now he only says that because he has a God's perspective and understands the development of events in the small world.
If he knows nothing and is involved in this situation, it is naturally impossible to persuade him.
However, Tang Yu still had to defend Huo Cenji.
Although Huo Cenji was the son of destiny, he suffered no less than others.
Although he was a top scholar and an outstanding civil servant, Daqi had no generals available. In the end, he had to go to the battlefield for his country and sacrifice his life in exchange for the foreign enemy not daring to invade for ten years.
The scars on Huo Cenji's body were simply hidden under his clothes, so others couldn't see them.
And then she was deceived by this cannon fodder, and fell into a desperate situation, but she still gritted her teeth and climbed out to the supreme position.
Who wouldn’t say it’s inspiring after reading this?
Zhao Yuanqi only saw that Huo Cenji was superior to him, but he didn't know that all of that was earned by Huo Cenji at the cost of his own life and broken heart bit by bit.
If I could change...
Tang Yu would rather Huo Cenji didn't have to go through all this.
The price to pay to get those things is too high.
Even Tang Yu, the mission leader, couldn't help but sigh—
"God, must your child of destiny endure these hardships?"
Tang Yu sighed sincerely this time, and then said softly to Zhao Yuanqi:
"Since you think so, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Why? Your Majesty, don't you know that there's a saying that spilled water cannot be undone?"
Tang Yu: “…”
No, brother, you really are not going to give in!
Really, Tang Yu really regretted it now.
Why did he have to say that? Huh?
You treat them as cannon fodder, but they think they are the protagonist. What can you do? Huh?
Tang Yu felt extremely powerless.
He looked at Zhao Yuanqi who was excited in front of him and couldn't stand it anymore so he started to change the subject:
"My knee hurts a little."
"Your Majesty, you have nothing to say... Hmm? Knee pain? Then why didn't Your Majesty say anything just now?"
Zhao Yuanqi suddenly dropped his confrontational tone and asked about Tang Yu's injuries in a stiff tone.
At the same time, he was thinking in his heart -
It seems that he was not wrong before, the little emperor just injured his knee.
After this incident, Zhao Yuanqi's passionate and resounding accusation just now seemed like Tang Yu's illusion.
Tang Yu shook his head and replied calmly, "It just hurt a little bit just now. I didn't feel anything before."
Actually, he didn't feel anything now, but he really had no other choice.
This person won't stop unless you say this.
Zhao Yuanqi's expression eased a little, but he couldn't change his stiff tone for a while, so he said two words coldly, "Wait", and immediately left in a hurry.
Tang Yu: Finally he’s gone.
