As he was speaking, Zhao Yuanqi suddenly laughed, and said with a bit of hindsight:
"However, Your Majesty's actions on the surface are indeed somewhat misleading. Otherwise... I would not be so sure—"
"Your Majesty, the relationship between you and Huo Cenji has reached the point where water and fire cannot coexist."
"Now it seems... Your Majesty has really put a lot of effort into Huo Cenji."
Tang Yu rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
No, if he keeps talking, he'll start to think he's a good person!
So Tang Yu sighed and deliberately avoided talking about this, and asked directly:
"Did you want to see me just to say these words?"
"Your Majesty, do you think these are not worth asking?" Zhao Yuanqi slowly bent over and sat down on the chair, his body completely exhausted.
I'm afraid neither he nor his father thought that—
From the very beginning, the young emperor had no intention of taking Huo Cenji's life. Instead, he protected him at every turn, even going so far as to create a tit-for-tat situation.
Is this also the reason why Tang Yu has not yet selected a smart child from the royal family as his heir?
And there seems to be an explanation for all the infuriating things that happened to Tang Yu afterwards.
Public outrage arose, and if Huo Cenji returned, not only would it not be considered treason, but he would also have a legitimate reason to ascend the throne.
Ahem…
He and his father had always believed that the little emperor was just a chess piece in their hands. Now it seemed that they were the ones being manipulated every step of the way, until the very end—
Fall into a dead end.
Zhao Yuanqi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He looked at Tang Yu deeply and said:
"Your Majesty's life-saving medicine has been stored in a safe place. If Your Majesty still has a desire to live, I will tell you where it is."
"At least--"
"Your Majesty, you can enjoy a few more years of springtime and see how Huo Cenji walks the path you painstakingly paved for him."
"Is it worthy of His Majesty's careful planning?"
Tang Yu: "...I haven't planned anything, you're overthinking it."
Although he was also very curious about what Zhao Yuanqi was thinking and why he showed a face that said "so that's it", but if he was asked to claim the credit that did not belong to him, Tang Yu would not be able to do it even if he had to flatter him.
Carefully planned?
Those words made him sound like an unfathomable and cunning person who was good at planning and strategizing.
Tang Yu felt sad in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and replied calmly:
"Everyone has their own destiny, and my life was forced upon me. Even if I take more medicine, it won't get better."
"So, that's it."
After Tang Yu said those words with a forced smile, he actually felt pain in his heart.
Because! That’s life-saving medicine!
However, the system came online in time to remind him that this plot should not exist in the first place. If he agreed, it would not only destroy the character's setting, but also disrupt the normal operation of the world's plot.
Is the world storyline running normally?
Since he can come back and clear his name after becoming a scumbag, what's wrong with taking two more pills?
Tang Yu complained about this bug in his heart, but he was too lazy to argue with the system, so he simply followed the system's reminder and said those words against his will.
"So, Your Majesty really doesn't care about his own life..."
The smile on Zhao Yuanqi's lips became more and more forced. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether he was more jealous of Huo Cenji or more mocking of the little emperor.
How could someone be so stupid?
Do you want to just die early to make room for Huo Cenji?
hehe……
He insisted on meeting Tang Yu just to deliver the medicine.
Zhao Yuanqi knew that he would not have the chance to leave the capital alive, so he had already decided in prison to send out all the medicine used to restrain Tang Yu.
The medicine was of no use to him.
It would be better...it would be better to let the little emperor live two more years.
But he didn't expect that Tang Yu would reject him again.
It was just like the day when she refused to be with him, leaving no room for maneuver.
"It's not that I don't care, I just don't force it."
Through the painted screen, Huo Cenji couldn't see Tang Yu's figure, nor could he see the expression on Tang Yu's face at that moment. But when he heard these words, Tang Yu's faint smile and his detached look of indifference to life and death subconsciously emerged in his mind.
It was as if he was just standing there and would disappear in the next moment.
Huo Cenji restrained himself and used all his strength not to make a sound.
Even though the doubts in his heart were like a trapped beast about to break out of its cage, as if it would pounce on Tang Yu in the next second, he still stood quietly behind the screen, calmly and rationally analyzing the meaning of those words.
What does "Your Majesty really doesn't care about his own life" mean?
What is Tang Yu’s “careful planning”?
…
What do those mean?
Huo Cenji felt like he was standing in the fog. Tang Yu's figure, outline, facial features, and appearance gradually became an unclear blur in his mind.
What did Tang Yu hide from him?
Zhao Yuanqi also became a little angry when he heard Tang Yu say that, and then asked in a very affirmative tone:
"Is it true that Your Majesty never took the medicine that I gave you in the secret passage?"
Tang Yu: “…”
You are right.
But he just wanted Huo Cenji to feel more sorry for him. What did he do wrong?
Tang Yu asked back in his heart with confidence.
*
If he didn't do this, he might not even get to see Huo Cenji.
