ful.Xia Xiaomiao subconsciously glanced at the other person's hand, subconsciously feeling that it was somewhat similar to Ning Shu's.So he asked the staff member next to him, "Who is that"The staff m...On the high throne, a young man in a dragon robe sat listening to the words of the officials below.

"Your Majesty, report!"

The commander of the guard outside the gate came in and said, "The Regent Prince has arrived at the city gate."

Ning Shu was startled and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But he still nodded and said, "Relay my order to have the Regent King welcomed with a feast."

The ministers in the court all looked at each other, their expressions varied.

Prince Regnant Helian Yu was an adopted prince, with no blood relation to the emperor. Yet, he was granted the title of prince. When people heard about Prince Helian Yu's origins, they couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

This Regent was a child the late Emperor brought back, and he was made a prince. However, it later became known that he wasn't the Emperor's biological son, and people began to question his status. The former emperor, under pressure, had to strip him of his princely title.

The former emperor doted on this child dearly, and after Helian Yu fell out of favor, life became quite difficult for him.

He lived in the Hou Mansion for several years, and later was favored by the late emperor, achieving many accomplishments.

Before his death, the former emperor left a decree, appointing him as regent and giving him a golden medal of immunity from death. Then he passed away.

The court officials were extremely disappointed. The late emperor was quite foolish. Throughout history, foreign princes have always been a threat to the throne! Not to mention Helian Yu looks like a restless and ambitious man.

The ministers were wary of him, constantly on guard against him, and wished to get rid of him as soon as possible.

But the late emperor's will was there, and the Regent King had another golden amulet of immunity.

Had it not been for the Empress Dowager uncovering his misdeeds and sending him to the battlefield on the border a few years ago, who knows what kind of turmoil he might have caused in the imperial city.

"Your Majesty."

One minister stepped forward and said, "The Regent has held military power on the border for many years. Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to reclaim it."

Ning Shu looked over.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke, "The Regent King has made great contributions to my empire. I fear that my actions may hurt his feelings."

The Minister hesitated for a moment, then said with a hint of disapproval: "Your Majesty has always been tolerant and trusting towards him over the years. I'm afraid that the Regent King might have other thoughts."

Ning Shu said softly, “Your Majesty naturally has it all figured out, there is no need to persuade further.”

He thought of He Lianyu, who he hadn't met yet, and his heart wasn't truly calm. He had Zero get the Regent King to join their side, so he wouldn't worry about completing the task anymore.

Just as Ning Shu was thinking.

A voice came from outside the door: "The Regent King requests an audience!"

The ministers looked at each other, their faces contorting in displeasure.

A tall figure walked in: "Your Majesty, I greet you."

Ning Shu only then saw the Regent King's appearance clearly.

The man hadn't taken off his armor yet, his face was strikingly handsome. His long, narrow eyes were as dark and deep as water, his thin lips cold and cruel. His tall and handsome figure seemed to carry a lot of weight.

Not to mention the aura about him, it seemed to have accumulated over the years, as if one could faintly smell a hint of bloodlust.

Ning Shu couldn't help but stare.

But when she met the man's gaze, his eyes were truly impressive.

He instinctively stepped back and said, "Rise."

Helian Yu stood up from the ground, his gaze fell on the little emperor, revealing a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

The year he left the capital, the young emperor was only eleven or twelve years old.

He had forgotten what he originally looked like.

Looking back now.

She looked fair and delicate, but very thin. She didn't even dare to look straight at you with her eyes.

Hē Lián Yǔ idly pondered.

"You have accomplished great feats and bravery, what reward do you desire"

Ning Shu wasn't very good at getting along with men like this who were so aggressive. She pursed her lips slightly and asked.

Helian Yu clasped his fists and said, "I do not desire any reward."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Ning Shu was startled. She hadn't expected the Prince Regent to decline all rewards. Feeling a little embarrassed, she bestowed upon him some gifts instead.

Helen Yu stood in the hall, her dark eyes fixed on him.

Let Ning Shu's heart feel a little panicked.

Even after the meeting was over, he still felt a little shaken.

Helian Yu is unlike any other official in the capital. His thoughts are unreadable, and having been manipulated by the Empress Dowager, he may very well harbor resentment.

Moreover, he spent years on the battlefield, having likely killed more people than he had eaten meals.

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He thought about Helin Yu's height, that feeling of oppression. Even from afar on the throne, the psychological pressure was real and not feigned.

He pursed his lips, glancing at his arm, and then at his slender white hand.

Ning Shu couldn't help but think, if this regent king were a pleasant person to get along with, that would be great.

Apart from the throne, Helian Yu would try his best to satisfy whatever else Wang wanted.

...

Ning Shu drank the medicine and then in the study revised some memorials.

A servant from outside came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Regent King has arrived."

He couldn't help but look, a little surprised.

After all, He Lianyu had just returned and would need to rest for a day or two at least, yet he entered the palace without even touching the ground.

Ning Shu hesitated a little, she didn't know why, she subconsciously felt a bit wary of Helan Yu.

Perhaps it was because of the legend of his ambition, or perhaps it was the aura he carried.

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to meet.

He is not very familiar with the Regent yet. At least he needs to figure some things out before talking to him.

The servant understood the Emperor's meaning and went out to announce it.

But, the voice outside had come through just as it was, saying, "Doesn't your Majesty wish to see this prince"

Ning Shu felt a little embarrassed. His intention was to pretend he wasn't in the study, but he hadn't expected to be found out.

The servant still blocked him: "Your Highness, the Emperor has already gone to rest. Please come back another day."

Helian Yu nonchalantly said, "Then I'll just wait here for the Emperor."

The slave whispered, "Your Highness, please don't make it difficult for me. The Emperor is really not inside."

Ning Shu remained silent, motionless, but his eyes were fixed on the target.

Thinking that if Helian Yu couldn't see anyone, she should go back.

But he never expected that the man would barge in directly.

The servant was startled and did not expect the Regent King to be so impulsive.

The door to the study was opened.

Ning Shu's gaze from the past just met the man's eyes.

He was taken aback.

Then she pursed her lips.

Helian Yu looked at the young emperor in the study. The look on his face hadn't receded, still carrying a hint of panic.

He stared with unreadable eyes.

Ning Shu took a deep breath, feeling that he could no longer resist. He had to speak: "I wonder what the Regent King wants from me"

Helian Yu asked with a veiled meaning, "It seems the Emperor doesn't look kindly upon me. Is there something I have done wrong"

He sprawled down, his eyes fixed on the young man, a hint of a smile playing at his lips: "Years have passed, Your Majesty, and you've grown so much."

“When I left the capital, Your Majesty was just about as tall as my waist.”

Helian Yu was just casually speaking, he wouldn't remember the little emperor from several years ago, even forgetting what the other person looked like.

Now that you mention it.

I actually think the little emperor looks much better than before, he's just a bit thinner. He is quite handsome though. He's fair and smooth like porcelain, with beautiful eyes. If he dressed up as a woman, he might even be prettier.

Ning Shu noticed the other person's blatant gaze, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But still facing the man, he said: "I was just handling some important matters. It was my fault."

The boy's slender neck looked both fragile and fair.

Those eyes looked at themselves, their voice carrying a hint of tenderness.

The Regent's smile at the corner of his lips faltered, and his eyes looked over with a strange glint.

I didn't expect the little emperor to personally apologize.

He then stepped down the steps and said in a low voice: "The Emperor is the master of the country, how could he apologize to his subjects"

What he said was sincere.

But Ning Shu heard the indifference and nonchalance in the other party's words.

He pursed his lips.

He couldn't help but glance at Helian Yu.

A man who has lived on the border for years, now takes off his armor and puts on civilian clothes. But his figure is still tall and handsome, extremely beautiful. With sword-like brows and star-like eyes, those deep black eyes give people a strong sense of oppression.

Her skin had a hint of bronze, and even her hands, looked incredibly strong.

Ning Shu couldn't help but take a serious look. This kind of figure was what he had once craved. But seeing it on Helian Yu, for some reason, he didn't feel the slightest bit envious.

Even a little uneasy and apprehensive.

Ning Shu didn't expect to be caught again.

Helian Yu met his gaze, asking calmly, “Your Majesty, what are you looking at me for”

Ning Shu didn't speak, but her earlobes were tinged with a slight blush.

It's a bit awkward.

The boy's skin was very fair, and the red made him even more handsome, like he had been painted with rouge.

Hēlián Yǔ's eyes sank slightly.

He narrowed his eyes, taking a serious look at this young emperor for the first time.

The other party, with a somewhat thin frame, sat at the desk. From both demeanor and appearance, it was barely enough to pass as a young prince. But calling him an emperor would be quite laughable.

Helian Yu couldn't help but let out a sneer.

Staring at the earlobe, crimson like a jade bead.

I had a rebellious thought.

I wonder what kind of scene this little emperor would be in when he wears red.

This skin is whiter than a woman's, and it's probably going to be even prettier.

Ning Shu didn't know what the Regent King was thinking. The man sat there, even if he didn't say a word, his handsome appearance with sword-like brows and star-like eyes was enough to startle people before he even spoke.

He couldn't help but purse his lips.

I feel like a fox wearing a dragon robe, a bit out of place. I raised my hand.

But because the movement was a little hasty, he bumped into the brush beside him.

The brush rolled down.

Ning Shu was a little dazed, not knowing whether to pick it up or not. up and found two boxes. 。Location one after the otherHe was just about to step forward 。Then, Jiang Xiao said in a low voice: “Don’t lick him”. 。"Lick me" 。Ning Shu looked at the two boxes on the gro...
