But Tang Yu failed in the end.
Because Huo Cenji hesitated to speak, he gently pushed him away and showed a worried look:
"You... your current health will probably take some time to recover."
"I'm good! I'm really good!" Tang Yu emphasized, and he couldn't wait to prove it to Huo Cenji with his own actions.
Huo Cenji nodded quickly, but it seemed more like he was cooperating with him:
"Yeah, I know."
Tang Yu: “…” No, you don’t know.
"Okay then." Tang Yu said with a resentful tone. He accidentally looked down and saw the amulet hanging in front of him and couldn't help asking:
"Is this what you asked for today? But I remember you clearly don't believe in these things."
Huo Cenji hummed, and when he saw Tang Yu pick up the amulet and examine it carefully, he lowered his eyes and said calmly:
“I believe it now.”
"Well, what did you say?" Tang Yu looked up in surprise, as if he didn't expect Huo Cenji to change his mind.
"Nothing. Are you tired from practicing today? It's time for dinner now. I'll have dinner with you."
Huo Cenji naturally talked about dinner, and as expected, Tang Yu was immediately distracted and no longer obsessed with that issue, but walked to the bedroom with him.
At this time, their shadows were lengthened by the setting sun, and it was difficult to tell whose shadows fell on the ground.
The rare silence became a moment that both of them enjoyed particularly. Although no words were exchanged, the distance between their hearts seemed closer than before.
Tang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the indistinguishable shadows on the ground, and suddenly a sigh fell from his heart.
"How foolish."
He clearly doesn't believe in Buddhism, but he changes his mind for others.
Even if that person is himself.
When the two of them arrived at the bedroom, the young attendant who had returned early had already estimated the time and prepared the meal.
But he didn't expect that the Regent would come in with His Majesty.
Could it be that the Regent still wants to dine with His Majesty?
The sensitive little attendant always finds some strange points.
But this thought only appeared for a moment before he immediately dispelled it.
The Regent naturally would not let His Majesty return alone, so it was indeed biased for him to think so.
So the young attendant bowed to the two men as they entered, nodded respectfully, and said:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Regent, you may have dinner."
"Okay." Tang Yu smiled gently, admiring the young attendant's judgment from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that the young attendant still found it difficult to accept the relationship between him and Huo Cenji, so whenever Huo Cenji was mentioned, the young attendant was somewhat reluctant.
But I didn't expect that today there wouldn't be the same awkward feeling as before.
Tang Yu showed approval, took Huo Cenji's hand without any reservation and instructed the young attendant:
"Go down, I and the Regent do not need anyone to wait on us."
"Yes." The young attendant lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him any more.
But from the corner of his eye he still saw His Majesty's hand and the Regent's hand tightly clasped together, like lovers.
The young attendant didn't dare to think any further, so he hurriedly retreated and closed the door considerately.
It wasn't until they were the only two left in the room that Huo Cenji spoke with a difficult voice:
"Are you really not afraid of others knowing?"
Before, when the two of them had broken the window paper and were entangled with each other, he had half-jokingly asked Tang Yu a question -
"I wonder if Your Majesty would mind others knowing our relationship?"
"This matter must not be known to others." The young and handsome Tang Yu was sleeping beside him at that time, but when he heard this, he responded without hesitation.
Although he knew it was impossible, he still felt a sense of discomfort when he heard the expected answer.
Love breeds delusion, but Tang Yu is more rational than him.
Now that only the people around Tang Yu know about their relationship, he is already feeling emotional and unable to control himself.
He is really easily moved.
Huo Cenji's dark, deep eyes showed a trace of helplessness. In the end, he couldn't bear to embarrass Tang Yu anymore, so he simply talked about something else to divert Tang Yu's attention:
"Let's eat first. It's better to take the medicine after eating."
As he said this, he was about to hold Tang Yu's hand, but he didn't expect that Tang Yu would take the initiative and grab him first in a firm manner.
A warm jade-like touch came from my hand, and the force was much stronger than before.
Huo Cenji was stunned, as if he didn't understand why Tang Yu's attitude suddenly became tough.
But he soon knew the answer. Tang Yu's voice was cold and restrained, but mixed with a bit of resentment:
"Could it be that the Regent thinks I am unwilling to make our relationship known?"
"That's not what I meant." Huo Cenji let Tang Yu hold his hand and patiently explained, "I know that as an emperor, you have no choice..."
"I have no choice, but I don't want you to be criticized..." Tang Yu's voice was a little choked, and he tilted his head as if he didn't want Huo Cenji to see his vulnerable side.
In fact, Tang Yu's thoughts had already drifted away.
As a wise ruler who ruled Daqi for several years, Huo Cenji not only worked hard to govern the country, but also implemented reforms, destroying the bad atmosphere of corruption in the court.
How could a person who was recorded by later generations as "a wise ruler rarely seen in history" be involved in the emperor's romantic affairs?
Even in the original plot, the protagonist was willing to be the man behind Huo Cenji and never mentioned the idea of letting the world know.
So, how could he, an insignificant cannon fodder, do such a thing?
Therefore, he had always let Huo Cenji climb through the window to meet him in the bedroom. After doing this secretly for several years, others really had no idea about the unusual relationship between him and Huo Cenji.
