Before Yu Xiao could say anything more, Yu Tang had already instructed the driver to wait downstairs.
Then she gently pulled his hand away, and flicked his forehead with a smile: "Don't worry, just wait for me to come back, okay?"
The touch on her forehead startled Yu Xiao slightly, and some fragmented images flashed through her mind.
But it vanished quietly just as he was about to grasp it, and by the time he came to his senses, the door was already closed, and the man had gotten into the carriage heading to the palace and left him.
Yu Tang did not bring Xiao Jin with him when he came to the palace this time.
After all, Tang Qi had scolded Xiao Jin before, and he was afraid that women would see Xiao Jin, so he deliberately took his anger out on Xiao Jin.
He then went alone to meet the Queen.
They happened to see Princess Tang Qi crying in front of the Queen with a swollen and red face.
Thinking to himself, "Just as I thought," Yu Tang remained expressionless, knelt on one knee before the Queen, and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."
The Queen looked down at him, sizing him up.
Princess Tang Qi cried even harder beside her: "Mother, they're the ones who bullied me! He and that refugee named Yu Xiao both bullied me! I didn't do anything wrong, I just like him and I was jealous that he was with other people, and this is how they treat me. They don't respect our royal family at all!"
"Shut up!"
A sudden shout startled Princess Tang Qi.
This startled Yu Tang, who looked up at the inscrutable queen.
"I told you long ago not to cause trouble for General Yu, but you just wouldn't listen."
Now that you've gotten yourself into trouble and learned your lesson, what face do you have to come crying to me?
The Queen criticized Princess Tang Qi with a serious expression before turning her gaze to Yu Tang.
His gaze softened, and he said, "General Yu, this time it was Qiqi who was being unreasonable and caused you trouble."
"Your Majesty, you flatter me." Yu Tang had no idea what the Queen was up to.
But since the other party has given him such a great deal of face, it would be inappropriate for him to refuse.
He then said, "It is I who have failed Your Highness's expectations; I am also at fault."
The Queen seemed satisfied with his answer, exchanged a few more words with Yu Tang, and then moved on from the topic.
Tang Qi stood to the side, not daring to interrupt, her eyes red, gritting her teeth and sulking.
Just as Yu Tang was about to leave, the Queen pretended to have just remembered and called out to him, saying, "General Yu, when will you bring that child named Yu Xiao over so I can get to know him?"
Chapter 17
Died for the seventh time for the villain (17)
Yu Tang stopped in his tracks.
He suddenly understood why the Queen had been so polite to him.
Although the plot says that this queen is decisive and efficient, has a good grasp of managing the empire, and is very kind to her people.
But no matter which country you're in, those in power are never easy to deal with.
Princess Tangqi was crying when he arrived.
Regardless of whether the princess embellished or exaggerated the facts.
But the Queen must have heard Princess Donquixote's description of the situation at that time.
The entire villa was plunged into darkness in an instant; even the Queen probably wouldn't believe it was a coincidence.
There are likely two reasons why the other party is calling him over.
First, the Queen suspects that Yu Xiao possesses special abilities and wants to investigate her true identity.
Secondly, the Queen believed that Yu Xiao could become his weakness.
As long as you can win over Yu Xiao, you can get her to do things for you.
But no matter which one it is, it will inevitably put Yu Xiao in danger.
So after thinking it over, Yu Tang refused the Queen's request for the first time, raising his eyes and saying, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Yu Xiao's personality is not very stable, and he doesn't know how to speak properly. He even offended Her Highness the Princess before."
Therefore, I think it would be impolite of him to meet with you.
The Queen narrowed her long, narrow eyes, and the kind expression on her face faded slightly.
The atmosphere froze slightly, but she quickly concealed her expression and replied, "If that's the case, then let's just forget about it."
Then she added, "Prince Zhou's eldest son just returned from Tianlu Star yesterday, and a welcome banquet will be held at the manor in the next few days. You should be on the invitation list as well."
She didn't say the rest, but Yu Tang already understood.
The woman was urging him to find evidence that the two princes had poisoned him.
"Your Majesty understands..."
He responded, bowed politely, and left the palace.
As a result, he called the driver, opened the car door, and saw Yu Xiao sitting in the back seat with a lollipop in her mouth, staring at him with her dark, almond-shaped eyes.
When she met his gaze, her previously deep eyes seemed to light up instantly. She opened her arms to him and smiled sweetly: "Master, I want a hug."
Yu Tang snapped out of his daze, quickly got into the car, closed the door to block the view from outside, and said with a hint of anger, "Didn't I tell you to wait at home?! Why did you come to the palace?!"
After talking about Yu Xiao, he turned to the driver in front and said, "Yu Xiao is here, why didn't you tell me?"
"General, I...I..."
"Cough cough..."
The driver's words were interrupted by Yu Xiao's cough.
The boy lowered the partition between the front and back seats, hugged Yu Tang, and rubbed against him, saying ingratiatingly, "Master, please don't be angry. I ran away secretly and didn't let anyone find out!"
Yu Tang can't stand the villain's coquettishness.
Faced with Yu Xiao's excited face, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh, and his anger dissipated considerably.
"You must be obedient from now on," Yu Tang instructed him. "Especially don't come to the palace again. It's much more dangerous here than you imagine, understand?"
Yu Xiao readily agreed.
Nodding repeatedly, "Understood!"
He sat down next to Yu Tang, a lollipop still in his mouth. He chewed the candy with his teeth and swallowed it in no time.
Then, taking advantage of Yu Tang's momentary lapse in attention, she pressed the man against the car window and kissed him.
Before leaving, Yu Tang asked him to stay home alone, but he found he couldn't do it.
That's why I followed them secretly.
Upon arrival, he intended to use his abilities to access all the surveillance footage.
But remembering what Yu Tang had told him to use his abilities cautiously, he held back.
And so we endured every single minute and second in this agonizing way.
God knows how many lollipops he ate in that short period of time to suppress the urge to bite his nails.
Just thinking about Yu Tang facing the Queen and the unreasonable princess alone is enough to make me understand why.
They may even humbly apologize and be punished.
Yu Xiao couldn't resist the urge to break into the palace and destroy everything.
When Yu Tang opened the car door, he was eating the last lollipop.
He thought, what if the man still hadn't come out by the time he finished this lollipop?
He rushed in, and killed anyone who stood in his way.
Now, Yu Tang has appeared, and it seems he has not been punished.
Yu Xiao's bloodlust vanished instantly, and the urge to bite her nails disappeared completely.
But what arises from this is the urge to touch the man in front of her.
I really want to...
The car drove smoothly out of the palace.
The leather back seat made a rubbing sound.
A subtle, sweet fruity flavor is subtly conveyed.
That was the lingering taste of a lollipop.
Sweet Yu Tang narrowed her eyes slightly.
The temperature inside the car rose, and finally Yu Tang couldn't stand it anymore. He reached out and pinched Yu Xiao's nose to stop him from breathing, which made the boy stop.
Meeting Yu Xiao's bright eyes, Yu Tang's face flushed. He released his nose and scolded, "That's enough. We're outside. What kind of situation would it be if the driver heard us?"
Yu Xiao leaned against him, squeezing Yu Tang into the corner of the car, and hugged him: "Does Master mean that as long as we get home, I can do whatever I want to you, is that right?"
Slightly taken aback by the phrase "do whatever you want," Yu Tang said somewhat awkwardly, "It's not that..."
“But didn’t you say that before, Master?” Yu Xiao recalled the past and said to Yu Tang with a smile, “I asked you before if I could hug you often, and you said of course I could.”
And she even said, "From now on, I can do whatever I want to you."
"So, what you mean is that I can do whatever I want to you?"
"When we get home..."
Yu Tang covered her mouth, and Yu Xiao looked up to meet the man's embarrassed and regretful face.
My excitement kept rising, and at the same time, a warm feeling welled up inside me, dispelling the gloom from before.
He kissed Yu Tang's palm, and the latter immediately withdrew his hand and glared at him.
"Master blushes so easily." He nestled contentedly against Yu Tang's chest and asked, "Did the queen and princess make things difficult for you?"
"No..." Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had calmed down for the time being.
He was filled with regret for the boast he had made earlier, which made Yu Xiao realize how extraordinary it was.
While giving a reluctant answer to Yu Xiao, she said, "They didn't make things difficult for me. Her Majesty the Queen is very reasonable."
