[Host! The whitewashing progress has reached 50%! ]
[No! The whitewashing progress has increased to 60%!]
The system's voice trembled as it continuously reported the latest progress. It wasn't until the progress bar completely stagnated that the system calmed down and said in a stunned voice:
[Host... the progress bar has been fully expanded to 98%.]
Who can tell what happened?
Could this be the reason why the host remains so calm? Turns out, turns out... the host has already had a plan in mind!
At this time, Tang Yu had just finished his meal and was secretly wondering why his food intake had decreased a lot recently. Could it be that the young attendant had secretly discovered something?
The meticulously prepared dishes that were delivered showed that the imperial kitchen had put a lot of effort into the dishes, but the portions were two-thirds smaller than before. This meant that Tang Yu could only taste a few bites of each dish, and even if he wanted to eat more, it would be impossible.
This is really hard to talk about.
Tang Yu was frowning and thinking hard when he heard the system excitedly broadcasting the progress bar.
At the beginning, Tang Yu was able to remain calm, guessing that it was probably Zhao Yuanqi who said something to Huo Cenji that touched Huo Cenji.
But unexpectedly, in less than a moment, the system's shocked voice sounded one after another, overturning the previous results again and again, and couldn't wait to tell him the latest progress.
When the progress bar finally stopped at 98%, Tang Yu frowned and muttered to himself:
"How is this possible?"
How could it possibly rise directly to 98%?
But Tang Yu probably understood Huo Cenji's personality. He knew that Huo Cenji was older than him, so he was calm in everything. Even if the love in his heart was ten points, he only showed eight points.
Huo Cenji's love is like a lake that appears calm on the surface but is actually turbulent. You can't see anything underneath at a glance, but if you fall into it carelessly, you will be swallowed up.
Huo Cenji was concerned about many things, so even when the two of them were in love, he always suppressed his emotions, as if he wanted to remain calm and rational to deal with any unexpected situation.
Therefore, after such a long time, the contact between them was very little.
Wasn't this what Huo Cenji did on purpose, deliberately ignoring him and pretending to be fierce, but in fact -
Huo Cenji was extremely soft-hearted.
Therefore, the sudden surge in the progress bar was nothing more than the backlash of Huo Cenji's extreme suppression. Apart from that, Tang Yu could not think of any other answer.
98%...
Huo Cenji is really soft-hearted.
Tang Yu sighed, but Huo Cenji's always cold face flashed through his mind.
Even with a scar on such a beautiful face, it did not hinder its pleasing appearance. Instead, it made Tang Yu want to take off the mask on Huo Cenji's face, fill it with kisses one by one, and finally ask -
"Does it hurt?"
Does it hurt when you get hurt?
At that moment, did you hate me to the extreme?
*
Ever since Huo Cenji had a secret conversation with Zhao Yuanqi that day, as soon as he returned to the palace, Huo Cenji locked himself in the room for two whole days.
The assassins who were secretly protecting Huo Cenji were a little worried, but they didn't dare to persuade him rashly, so they had to stay there quietly for two days.
Nineteen was just thinking that if His Highness stayed indoors and refused to eat today, he would have to persuade His Highness even if it was impulsive.
He accepted it even if he was punished.
But just as he was hesitating, Huo Cenji slowly pushed open the door and walked out.
Huo Cenji was still wearing the robe he wore when he met Zhao Yuanqi that day. The heavy black robe wrapped Huo Cenji completely inside, revealing a sense of suffocation.
The dark circles under his eyes looked like he hadn't slept for two whole nights, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had finally figured out the stubborn questions in his mind and knew what to do.
"Nineteen..." Huo Cen's hoarse voice sounded.
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?" A black shadow descended, and Nineteen knelt on one knee and lowered his eyes to answer.
"Have someone prepare bathing water and food, and send them to my room." Huo Cenji's eyes, as calm as a landscape painting, suddenly glowed with strong vitality. Even the fatigue revealed on his body could not block such a strong aura.
Nineteen was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.
He felt that His Royal Highness the Regent seemed to have changed a little...
If you ask him what has changed, he can't tell.
But it was a relief that His Highness finally agreed to eat. Does that mean—
Has His Highness recovered now?
Nineteen thought for a few seconds, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he respectfully mentioned what had happened in the past two days:
"Your Highness, several generals have come to ask to see you."
"Why are they here?"
"I would like to ask Your Highness how you will deal with those people from the Zhao family." Nineteen said with a serious expression.
"I have my own decision to make. Don't let them worry." Huo Cenji waved his hand, signaling Nineteen to go down first.
He locked himself in the house for the past two days to think things through and find some clues from his memories.
It was indeed as Zhao Yuanqi said, if Tang Yu had not secretly taken action, he would not have been able to survive.
Those things that reveal some clues are enough to prove it.
But even after knowing this, Huo Cenji still didn't know how to meet Tang Yu or what to say.
So many things happened between them, as if there was an invisible gap between him and Tang Yu, making it impossible for them to go back to the way they were before.
not to mention--
He knew very well how he treated Tang Yu after returning to Beijing.
