"Your Highness! How could you not take me with you? How could His Majesty take good care of you by himself?" The young attendant who rushed back to the palace at full speed received this bad news as soon as he entered the room.
Yes, Your Highness had said a long time ago that he wanted to go to the palace with His Majesty to spend some leisure time, but he never mentioned not taking him with him!
Yes, yes, His Majesty must have whispered something in Your Highness's ear while he was away, so Your Highness said that...
"It's not just you who won't go. Lord Liu won't go either. Don't worry. I'm in much better health now. You don't have to worry so much." Tang Yu leaned on the fox fur recliner, half-closed his eyes, and comforted the young attendant, then handed the fruit in his hand to the young attendant.
The young attendant still looked unhappy, but he still took the fruit from Tang Yu. He held the fruit carefully and said earnestly:
"Your Highness, how could you indulge His Majesty like this? Even though your health is much better now, what if...with Lord Liu and this servant here, it will definitely be better. His Majesty is a grown man, if he does something wrong, wouldn't it be you who will suffer? Your Highness, you should think about it carefully again. The other servants can't say anything more."
Tang Yu looked at the young attendant with a smile. Although his words and actions showed that he didn't want to say anything more, he still said everything he needed to say!
But there is really no room for negotiation on this matter.
Huo Cenji had already begun meticulously planning the succession to the throne, secretly preparing numerous personnel and confidants for the future emperor. He was even willing to force Zhao Yuanqi to return to the capital so that he could retire with him in the imperial palace. With Huo Cenji's determination and preparations alone, it was absolutely impossible for anything unexpected to happen.
Young attendant... you've followed him for so long, it's time for you to live your own life.
Tang Yu rubbed his brows and said to the young attendant in a gentle and serious tone, "I understand what you mean, but Yuxiu... you have been with me for a long time. You have been by my side since I can remember. Now... it's time for you to live for yourself."
His Highness called his name seriously. The young attendant was dazed for a moment and turned his head away.
He didn't want His Highness to see him with a sore throat and crying in embarrassment.
Living for themselves? But aren't they living for Your Highness? Even sacrificing their lives when necessary. Why would Your Highness say that? Does he think they're not serving you well?
His Highness, with a gentle smile on his face, seemed to see through his thoughts. He put down the teacup in his hand and said softly:
"No, Yuxiu, you guys have served me well. This isn't your problem. It's me. I want to learn how to support my loved ones and do things myself. So, the rest of the journey will be taken up by Huo Cenji and I."
If this happens to be a chance to say goodbye, maybe it would be a good idea to tell them a little bit in advance.
Tang Yu sighed secretly. Although he couldn't bear to see the young attendant's tears, he still said those words "cruelly".
"By the way," Tang Yu added, striking while the iron was hot, "If you want to stay in the palace, you will still be the head eunuch. But if you want to leave the palace and see the scenery outside, I have someone prepare some money for you."
Anyway, it was Huo Cenji's small treasury that was spent.
"Your Highness! You...you are so kind to me!" The young attendant looked at Tang Yu with tears in his eyes. Suddenly, he wiped his tears firmly and clenched his fists as if he had made some kind of resolution: "I will go to the imperial kitchen and ask them to prepare some of Your Highness's favorite dishes. I will not persuade Your Highness today."
After saying this, he didn't give Tang Yu a chance to react and disappeared like a gust of wind, leaving Tang Yu alone, holding the teacup and lost in thought.
It seems like all the good things have happened recently.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Let's go, the ministers are still waiting!" Liu Ziqing earnestly urged Huo Cenji to leave, but Huo Cenji stood at the door as if his feet had taken root. Seeing His Majesty's mouth curled up involuntarily, Liu Ziqing sighed silently again.
Hey, you see, that person made His Majesty so happy with just a few words that he lost his mind.
Just now, a minister had an important matter to report, and sent for a messenger, only to find the palace empty. At that moment, almost everyone tacitly understood where the emperor was. Liu Ziqing, entrusted with an important task, had no choice but to come and ask the person to return, only to find that the emperor was waiting at the door without a word.
He was too busy to care about that and was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but His Majesty made a "shut up" gesture to him. And then... he was forced to eavesdrop with His Majesty.
Oh, how did it come to this?
And the surprised look the young attendant gave them when he left just now... Given his current status and position, when had he ever been looked at like this?
Unfortunately, he had nowhere to complain to, so he had to bury it deep in his heart.
Well, Your Majesty, stop laughing! You are still on the throne!
Seeing that Huo Cenji remained indifferent, Liu Ziqing was really afraid. He was afraid that the man would push the door open and come out. If the two of them hugged each other, even if he emphasized how important the matter was, he believed that His Majesty would not be able to concentrate.
In the end, Liu Ziqing had no choice but to pull out his trump card. He moved closer to Huo Cenji and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yuanqi also wants to see you."
"Him?" Huo Cenji raised his eyebrows slightly. Perhaps because he was in a good mood at the moment, his eyes were less oppressive when he mentioned his former enemy.
"Yes, he insisted on seeing you." Liu Ziqing replied seriously, even emphasizing his tone secretly.
"Oh, let's go." Huo Cenji chuckled softly, his eyes showing a completely nonchalant look.
