"Then I'd like to hear what Your Majesty has to say!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Ziqing and the young attendant lightly, and his meaning was very clear:
"You guys aren't going out yet?"
In fact, the young official was reluctant. Who knew what the regent would do?
Originally... Originally, the Regent was...
"Let's go!" Liu Ziqing lowered his voice and tugged at the young attendant's sleeve.
He is such a fearless person, he actually dares to stare at His Highness like that!
No, the Regent cares so much about the little emperor, how could he possibly harm him!
Then Liu Ziqing dragged the reluctant young attendant out and even closed the door considerately.
*
Well, maybe after arguing, the two of them might reconcile as before.
Now His Royal Highness the Regent's attitude towards the little emperor is much gentler than before. If things continue to develop in this way... well, he is not surprised at the result at all, really.
As the door slowly closed, only Tang Yu and Huo Cenji were left in the room.
In fact, this was not the first time they were alone together, but only this time did Huo Cenji have a bad feeling in his heart.
That terrible feeling even made his brows and eyes become a little gloomy. It was unclear whether he was angry about the situation that was beyond his control, or felt helpless towards Tang Yu.
So he finally sighed, and instead of using the distant address of "Your Majesty", he called out Tang Yu's name in a slow and drawn-out tone:
"Tang Yu——"
"What do you want to say?"
Tang Yu trembled as he pulled out the bright yellow imperial edict from behind his back. He coughed twice before holding it up and handing it to Huo Cenji.
"Perhaps I should have started writing from the moment you returned to Beijing."
"But I do feel a little reluctant, and a little unwilling. But I know in my heart that—"
"You are the best choice for Daqi."
Although the whitewashing mission is important, the main line of the world is even more important.
If Huo Cenji fails to ascend the throne as emperor, the main line of the world will stagnate, so Tang Yu must give it a push, which will be better for both of them.
We can't delay any longer.
If Huo Cenji drags it out any longer, his subordinates will probably become dissatisfied.
After all, they have already done such a heinous thing, and they are most worried about changes.
Huo Cenji's body moved, and Tang Yu thought he was going to take it, so he let go of his hand without any worries. However, he didn't expect that -
The bright yellow edict rolled to the ground, revealing the words inside.
Tang Yu: “…”
What does this mean? He doesn't understand.
Huo Cenji had no intention of reaching out to take it, but he still glanced at the imperial edict on the ground. After seeing what was written on it, he stretched out his slender bamboo-like hand and pinched Tang Yu's chin. He forced an ugly smile on his face, and his tone of voice was filled with sadness:
"Do you think I didn't touch you just because of this thing? That's why I care about you so much and why I ordered people to keep an eye on you, fearing that something might happen to you?"
"Really? Tang Yu?"
"Am I, Huo Cenji, such a person in your heart?"
Are we keeping him here now just... to give him the abdication decree?
He originally thought that Tang Yu would at least say something else.
Huo Cenji's eyes dimmed gradually, and he let go of Tang Yu as if accepting his fate and picked up the imperial edict from the ground.
Then he remained silent, as if preparing to turn and leave.
Something seems wrong.
Tang Yu wondered in his heart, why does it seem that... Huo Cenji doesn't seem very happy?
Does he also know that being an emperor is tiring?
Coincidentally, that's why he felt so badly and wanted to get rid of it quickly.
So...should he say something else?
Without a doubt, you should do this.
So when he saw Huo Cenji walking to the door, Tang Yu suddenly realized that without moving his body, he had already blurted out the words:
"Huo Cenji! I didn't let you go! I haven't finished what I want to say!"
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say? You can't possibly want me to start preparing for your funeral, right?" Huo Cenji stopped, turned around and stared at Tang Yu dimly.
That look was as chilling as an ice cube in the cold winter. Even without getting close to it, one could tell it was emitting coldness.
This look... does seem like he's angry.
Otherwise, the usually calm and composed Regent would not say such angry words.
Tang Yu understood, and said softly, his tone softened:
"Of course I want to talk about more than just this one thing. I don't say anything else because—"
"I thought you still hated me."
When Tang Yu said the last sentence, his tone was lowered. He lowered his head and did not look at Huo Cenji. Instead, he silently grabbed the armrest of the couch, as if he thought that this way he could avoid his sight.
Huo Cenji looked at Tang Yu like this, and the inexplicable anger in his heart finally dissipated a little, but his tone was still a little cold and hard:
"Your Majesty is finally willing to talk about the past?"
"I thought Your Majesty would remain deaf and dumb for the rest of his life."
Yes, he did hate her, but what he hated was that Tang Yu never said a word and was always silent when facing him.
No explanation, no quibbling.
It's like saying—
"Yes, I did it. You can do whatever you want with it."
Only on the night of the accident, when he slept on the bed with Tang Yu, could he feel the touch in Tang Yu's heart.
He then realized——
Tang Yu was not as indifferent as he appeared.
