But the prerequisite is that she needs to determine whether Yu Xiao will pose a threat to her.
Thinking this, Yu Tang bowed to the Queen again and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Yu Xiao is a qualified citizen of the Oro Empire."
Furthermore, he passed the examination at Nawei Military Academy yesterday and will join the army after graduation to serve the Empire and His Majesty.
"I can guarantee with my life that he will abide by the law and morality, never do anything illegal or disorderly, and will never betray the empire or harm His Majesty."
Although Yu Tang never revealed Yu Xiao's identity during their conversation, Yu Tang still managed to say a few words.
But we've made all the promises we were supposed to make and said all the things we were supposed to say.
This prevented the Queen from asking any questions she wanted to.
The woman on the throne thought carefully, her expression changing several times before finally settling into calm.
A faint hint of appreciation shone in his eyes.
She had always thought that Yu Tang would only ever be an obedient block of wood, and would always be her puppet.
But she never expected that she had underestimated Yu Tang.
This man isn't always stubborn; he knows how to be tactful and will fight for and change for the one he loves.
After a long pause, the woman said, "Then I'll trust you this once."
The Queen's words took Yu Tang by surprise.
I thought to myself, this queen really does have some skills.
A person who can rule the Auro Empire for decades cannot be so foolish as to be beyond redemption.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Yu Tang stood up, and the Queen ordered her ministers to fetch the medicine. Once the medicine was brought, it was handed to Yu Xiao.
Looking at the medicine box, Yu Tang recalled what the woman had said to Yu Xiao earlier, and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, may I say something?"
"What?"
"I hope you can let Xu Lanzhe go."
Faced with the Queen's silence, Yu Tang was not afraid, but continued to explain his point of view: "I know you have always been wary of these two princes, and I also know that your poisoning is related to them."
But before the truth comes to light, I hope you won't drag innocent people into this.
"Also, I hope you can give me some time."
"I will definitely find out who dared to poison you, arrest him, and hand him over to you for punishment!"
The Queen looked down at him from her high place, and after a long while, nodded and replied with a "Good..."
Yu Xiao was still in a daze when she left the council hall.
He really didn't expect that he had prepared to offend the Queen in order to protect Yu Tang, but Yu Tang had resolved the matter with just a few words!
And the queen doesn't seem to be entirely bad...
For a moment, Yu Xiao was extremely conflicted.
He suddenly felt even more confused about human nature.
Especially for people in high positions of power, it seems they can become a different person in an instant, and change their previous thoughts in an instant.
He asked Yu Tang why the Queen had suddenly become so easy to talk to.
Yu Tang couldn't help but smile when he saw Yu Xiao's confused look.
To be honest, he was also sweating with anxiety just now.
It wasn't that she was afraid the Queen would get angry, but rather that if the Queen got angry and punished her, Yu Xiao might lose control on the spot.
"Because she saw the future benefits." Yu Tang patted Yu Xiao's head and said, "We still have something about us that can attract her."
“There are no truly good people in power.” He told Yu Xiao, “But at this stage, we can at least be sure that the Queen is not so confused as to disregard human life.”
Chapter 32
Died for the seventh time for the villain (32)
"Alright, time to go home." Having resolved a major issue, Yu Tang felt relaxed.
After relaxing, I started to feel soreness in my lower back and back.
He rubbed his lower back, then put his arm around Yu Xiao's shoulder and said, "Xiao Xiao, my back hurts, I can't walk anymore."
"Carry me to the car."
Just a moment ago, Yu Xiao was still debating whether the Queen was good or bad.
At that moment, upon hearing Yu Tang's words, his mind instantly turned into a mess.
He still remembered what happened last night, and the man mentioned it to him again.
Anyone would misunderstand.
Moreover, Yu Tang genuinely wanted him to misunderstand.
He found it much more fun to tease Yu Xiao, who was getting emotional.
"Okay..." Perhaps because her emotions have become more complex and varied, Yu Xiao blushes very easily now.
He agreed and carried Yu Tang on his back, the smile on his lips lingering.
He thought to himself, "So this is how simple it is for two people to work together to solve a problem."
And the feeling of openness and mutual trust is so joyful.
Feeling the weight of the man on her back, Yu Xiao couldn't help but hum a soft tune.
"I love Tangtang, I love Tangtang, we'll be together forever, I'll never let go. I'll be with you forever, until we grow old together..."
The childish lyrics and the innocent voice made Yu Tang chuckle.
He asked Yu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, I've noticed that you seem to really enjoy writing your own lyrics and even being able to put together a tune to sing them. Who taught you that?"
"Hmm...it's just my own hobby," Yu Xiao replied softly. "It's also because of my first owner, that woman, who used to sing nursery rhymes to me at first."
Although their personalities changed drastically later, I still couldn't help but miss the tenderness the woman had shown me, and slowly... I came to like singing..."
Hearing him mention his former owner, Yu Tang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
He put his arm around Yu Xiao's neck and replied, "That's a great hobby. I also enjoy listening to you sing."
"From now on, Xiaoxiao, you can only sing for me. You can sing anything, I'll like whatever you sing."
Yu Xiao paused, as if she had thought of something, and the faint sense of dejection she had felt earlier vanished.
He asked Yu Tang, "Really? You like everything I sing?"
"Yes, I like anything you sing."
"So, do you like this song?" Yu Xiao suppressed a laugh and sang mischievously, "No ribbons, no packaging, just want to put the smooth candy into my mouth;
Roll it around, chew it up, tear it apart and eat it, not even letting go of the crumbs on your teeth, the sweetness fills the air, it's so tempting..."
Yu Tang stopped her from saying anything more.
Yu Tang blushed and whispered through gritted teeth in his ear.
"Except for those kinds of inappropriate songs!"
Yu Xiao innocently retorted, "Tangtang, I was just singing a song about candy, how is that inappropriate?"
Not hearing Yu Tang's reply, Yu Xiao added, "Hey, you just said you'd like whatever I sing, how come you changed your mind in less than half a minute? Men's words are indeed deceitful."
Yu Tang was completely bewildered by his words.
Good grief, where did this kid hear that? It's hilarious!
The initial awkwardness was quickly dispelled by Yu Xiao's words.
He placed both hands on Yu Xiao's head, ruffled the soft hair, then pinched down on his cheeks, flattening his handsome face into a pancake, and said, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around."
"I admit I was wrong, okay?"
"You can sing this kind of song as you please from now on, but don't sing it in public."
At this point, Yu Tang grabbed Yu Xiao's face, leaned close to his ear, and sighed ambiguously, "When we get home, turn off the bedroom light, and you can sing whatever you want..."
"It can also add to the fun..."
With just two sentences, he completely outmaneuvered Yu Xiao.
In the end, he could barely walk steadily, and with great difficulty, he carried Yu Tang onto the car. When they got home, the redness on his face hadn't completely faded.
However, Yu Tang was just joking; he was actually really tired.
After getting home and having dinner, I went straight to sleep. When I had slept enough, I found Yu Xiao sitting at the table with headphones on and a pen in her hand, writing something.
It was written quite carefully.
And every now and then he would hum a few tunes from his nose.
Yu Tang had just gotten up and was still dazed. He yawned as he got up, walked over to Yu Xiao, and his gaze fell on the boy's handwriting.
Instantly sober!
Then, with a snap, he reached out and covered the paper.
"Cough cough..."
Yu Xiao took off her headphones, put them aside, and looked up at Yu Tang: "Tangtang, what do you think of these lyrics?"
His smile was so innocent and pure, and he continued, "Can it be used to liven things up?"
Yu Tang met his gaze and her lips twitched slightly.
For a moment, I regretted the nonsense I had said during the day.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Xiao continued, "I've already composed the tune while you were asleep. Do you want me to sing it for you now, or should we turn off the lights and sing it?"
Yu Tang's hand, which was holding the paper, trembled slightly; she was so embarrassed she was about to have a stroke.
He carefully considered his words and said to Yu Xiao, "I think these lyrics are a bit too explicit. I suggest you revise them."
"Change it? Sure." Yu Tang thought Yu Xiao would disagree, but the other party agreed quite readily.
