Chapter 157: Your Majesty: "The big octopus is here, and he said his tentacles are clamoring to see you."
What?
It’s not impossible?
For the first time in his life, His Majesty opened his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly shocked expression.
His brain froze for a moment, and he stared at He Xile for a long while before finding his voice: "You mean, you can accept it?"
He Xile shrugged. "Of course. When I was doing experiments before, I often slept with the tentacles of a giant octopus in my arms. At that time, I felt that the tentacles felt very good and were very suitable as pillows. Besides..."
His eyes curved, and he nudged His Majesty's shoulder. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since this is your royal family's rule, I can certainly accept it. After all, I like you very much."
Although he was talking nonsense before, He Xile's last sentence was sincere.
——He really likes Wen Jiyu, and is willing to understand and tolerate Wen Jiyu.
However, His Majesty was in a trance at the moment and did not pay any attention to his lover's confession.
He Xile was amused and deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Isn't that what you meant?"
Wen Jiyu: "Not really. Actually..."
"Okay, it's settled then." He Xile nodded slightly and took out his terminal. "I'll send him a message."
Wen sent: "..."
He Xile interrupted Wen Jiyu several times, which made him feel suspicious, but he knew that he disguised himself so well that it was impossible for humans to know the truth.
By the time His Majesty came to his senses, He Xile had already opened the terminal and pretended to send a message to the big octopus: "Okay, Your Majesty and I have reached an agreement. From now on, the three of us will be a family. You can let Tentacle come and sleep with me tonight. Since today is the first day, you can let Little Star come over. He has a good personality and I like him more."
After sending it, He Xile secretly looked at His Majesty's terminal, and sure enough, a small yellow dot lit up at the top, indicating that there was a new message.
Why didn't I notice it before? He Xile thought.
As for Wen Jiyu, who was sitting next to him, he secretly checked the message sent by He Xile, and his face twisted.
He never expected that he just wanted to play ostrich for a while, but ended up in such a situation.
For a moment, Wen Jiyu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
never mind.
Now that things have come to this... maybe we can cultivate our relationship first.
Your Majesty was silently planning in his mind.
The two returned to the palace. He Xile first took a tour of the laboratory, and then went to the restaurant with His Majesty.
The chef brought the meal to His Majesty and looked at him twice, but His Majesty's eyes were always fixed on a point on the table, as if he was thinking about something important.
He ate very quickly, barely chewing. When he had almost finished his meal, he immediately stood up, his ruby eyes lowered, and he said condescendingly to He Xile, "I have something else to do, so I'll be back later."
Your Majesty exudes a powerful aura, but the content of his words gives off a bit of a henpecked vibe.
He Xile nodded: "Okay."
After His Majesty left, the chef handed the freshly prepared dessert to He Xile and asked, "Sir He Xile, I see that His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood. Did something happen?"
He Xile blinked.
He raised his wrist and looked at the fresh news from Big Octopus on the terminal. "Oh, I see." He suddenly laughed. "He might be in a bad mood recently, right?"
After saying that, He Xile raised the corners of his mouth and ate the dessert happily.
chef:"?"
Why is His Majesty in a bad mood, but Lord He Xile is so happy?
Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel?
But seeing them getting along, it doesn't seem like they're arguing...
The worried chef hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but whispered, "Your Excellency, considering His Majesty's age, although he is not young in Hai Xinna's eyes and has more thoughts, he is actually... still a child at heart."
In the entire palace, some people watched His Majesty grow up, and some have been with His Majesty for a long time. Of course, everyone has some understanding of His Majesty's past and personality. Since Lord He Xile came to the palace, although His Majesty did not admit it, he actually became much more lively. Later, when the two were together, they were all sincerely happy for His Majesty.
After all, so many things have happened... They also hope that someone will appear and take good care of His Majesty.
That is why the chef would ask questions if he found something seemed to be wrong.
He Xile thought of the tentacles that came to find him every night, and his eyes curved: "I see."
It is indeed the mentality of a child.
——He Xile recently looked up some information about the giant octopus and learned that the octopus's tentacles actually have secondary brains. This could also explain why the tentacles and the giant octopus always say one thing and mean another, and why the tentacles can even fight each other.
However, there are always traces of a person's character formation.
If it weren't for Your Majesty's personality, how could the tentacles be so cute?
even.
He Xile thought that perhaps the character displayed by the tentacles was the true character of His Majesty, who appeared to be indifferent and seemed to care nothing.
...or the character he wants to develop in his heart.
"I'm full." He Xile stood up and saw that the chef was worried, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty will be well in a few days."
"That's good." The chef smiled.
He looked at He Xile's back and said with emotion, "Fortunately, Your Majesty bought Mr. He Xile on the black market."
"Isn't it true? Humans are so kind and cute!"
He Xile, having already left the restaurant, followed Guard 131 on a slow stroll around the area to digest his meal. Seeing the buildings and green grass nearby, Guard 131 recalled the night He Xile had captured the tentacle. He paused for a moment and whispered, "Sir, have you asked His Majesty about... the giant octopus?"
He Xile shook his head: "I asked before, but he didn't want to say it then. There's no need to ask now."
No need to ask?
What does this mean?
...Have you already been disappointed with His Majesty?
131's heart tightened, but after glancing at He Xile's profile, he didn't ask.
The two walked forward in silence.
His Majesty was away, and He Xile had nothing to do in his room. While taking a walk, he simply chose a virtual background, started a live broadcast, and chatted with everyone in the live broadcast room.
Just as he and the guards walked to the corridor near the small garden, He Xile suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from not far away. He tiptoed to look curiously and saw a lot of people standing in the direction of the sound.
Several of them were familiar faces. He Xile had seen them at previous banquets. It was said that they all had royal blood.
"Are those nobles colluding with the church?"
"Yes, I heard that His Majesty went to the resort planet specifically to capture Austin. He's been torturing him since he brought him back, but who knows if Austin might have deliberately interfered..."
"You mean... not all of those nobles deserved their punishment?"
"Haha, who knows? I didn't tell you."
"Speaking of which, it's fortunate that Wen Ji and that guy suddenly went to arrest them. Look at that group of nobles, there are quite a few tough ones, and the forces behind them are complicated and intertwined. If we let them continue, it's hard to say who will win."
"hiss--"
He Xile blinked.
He was not particularly enthusiastic about the news, and he was still broadcasting live. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a shrill scream from the other end.
"Help, help me—"
“Ahhhh—”
"I really didn't collude with the church, nor did I collude with the Zerg—"
"Zerg???"
The next second, He Xile's ears and eyes were covered by Guard 131's hands.
The guard who had been following He Xile had obviously guessed what was happening not far away. His eyes were full of worry, and he whispered, "Sir, let's take a detour."
He Xile: "Okay."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
"?? What happened? I just heard a vague scream. Was it from the palace? Is His Majesty executing someone again?"
"Am I the only one who thinks this guard who's always been by Lanlan's side has a nice voice? Hahahaha."
He Xile thought about it and did not turn off the live broadcast, as that would make it seem too obvious.
He raised his hand and patted the guard's hand, signaling him to let him go. Then he walked quickly with the guard in a farther direction, saying, "He's also very handsome, and he's not in a relationship yet."
As expected, everyone's attention was diverted.
"What? Then I have a chance."
"Could you please tell me how old he is? I've seen this guard's appearance before during the livestream, but as you know, the Haixinna people maintain the same appearance from adulthood until they reach old age. Without asking, it's impossible to tell his age."
He Xile then said, "Brother, they want to know how old you are."
Guard 131: “???”
"That's hilarious! The guards looked so confused."
"By the way, Lanlan, are you trying to change the subject? As expected, you follow your wife wherever she goes. She's even helping His Majesty... Oh, I'm jealous. When will I ever marry such a lovely and virtuous wife?"
"? What the hell was that you were talking about upstairs? Chicken? Dog?"
"What's wrong? This is a common saying I just learned from the blue planet, isn't it?"
"Here I come. I know what happened to Lanlan in the palace. His Majesty was indeed executing someone just now. The list of executions has been released. It's like beheading without authorization. You can check the official account."
"? Then I'll go check it out quickly."
He Xile's heart tightened, and he clicked on the official account they mentioned. Sure enough, he saw a simple list in the latest updates - it listed all the people who colluded with the Vatican.
And below, in just five minutes, there were already over ten thousand comments.
"Oh my god, is this real? So many people?"
"...It should all be stamped by His Majesty. In this regard, I will always trust His Majesty."
"Haha, why don't you trust His Majesty at this point? Think about it carefully. When the church was looking for sacrifices, there were never any from these noble families. Even if there were, they were all unknown minor figures who were pushed out to take the blame. But what about those who opposed them? Wouldn't they have their wives and children torn apart?"
“Now that I think about it, it’s true…”
He Xile flipped through it casually and saw that some people below were also questioning it.
"Who can guarantee that there aren't people here that His Majesty wants to eliminate? I think there are some nobles who are quite good, and have donated money and done good things. How can they be colluding with the Church?"
He Xile remained calm and was about to leave the battle when the terminal suddenly rang: "Where are you?"
Yes, Your Majesty.
He Xile put aside the battle and said, "I was just taking a walk. Have you returned to your room already?"
His Majesty: "Well, the giant octopus is here, and he said his tentacles are clamoring to see you."
He Xile: “…”
Good job.
...I got into the role pretty quickly.
