Due to excessive blood loss and the festering aggravation of his wound, Yu Wenxu’s complexion still appeared very pale and weak.
After all, there was still a bit of reluctance.
As Su Yan was about to leave, she took out three pieces of candy from her wallet.
Bowing her head, she carefully placed them in Yu Wenxu’s hand.
Given Su Yan’s character, in such a scenario discussing state affairs, it was unseemly to sneakily give him candy, breaking the rules.
It was not her usual way of doing things.
Yet, she still ended up giving him the candy.
Then, she left carrying the tray.
The door of the study opened and then closed.
Sounds arose and then fell silent.
In the study, silence prevailed.
Until, the General who was nearest to Yu Wenxu couldn’t help but speak out
"Prince?"
No one responded.
The General coughed once,
"Prince???"
At this mont, the Regent King, who had been gazing down at the candy in his hand, finally rembered that there were still a group of people in the room not yet dismissed.
After a while, Yu Wenxu spoke in a light voice,
"How is the discussion going?"
A civil servant stood up.
Everyone acted as if no one had just been there and continued on.
"Does the Prince think that the enthronent of the new Emperor on the tenth of next month is a bit too rushed? But if we delay it further, it might be too late, as after all, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day."
They had been entangled in this matter for over an hour.
In the end, they still planned to ask the Regent King to decide.
But····.
Yu Wenxu’s eyebrows raised, his dark eyes sweeping solemnly over these people.
His thin lips parted slightly,
"If you can’t settle such a minor issue, what use does the court have for you?"
Four civil servants were startled.
Yu Wenxu gently squeezed the candy in his hand, speaking slowly,
"Give a result by tomorrow, I have no use for the incompetent."
With these words, the entire study fell silent.
Prince, why the sudden change of expression?
Wasn’t he just fine a mont ago?
With a snap, Yu Wenxu’s slender hand picked up a morial and placed it on the table.
His expression was cold,
"If there is nothing else, you may leave."
With these words, he was practically sending them out.
Thus, not half an hour after Su Yan left, the people in the study had already departed one by one.
Initially, they had been incredibly busy for the past few days, and the servants thought they would continue to be busy for a long while.
But unexpectedly, the discussion ended just after midday today.
Tonight’s dinner was exceptionally early.
The sun had not yet set, and a long table was already set in the other courtyard, with dishes being served one by one.
The Osmanthus Tree swayed in the wind, and occasionally one or two osmanthus flowers fell.
It is unknown where they drifted with the wind.
Su Yan looked at the table full of food, then looked at Yu Wenxu sitting quietly in the wooden wheelchair.
"Using dinner so early?"
Confusion glead in her eyes.
Yu Wenxu looked at her, his tone carrying no detectable emotion,
"Aren’t you hungry?"
Su Yan touched her stomach.
Yes, indeed she was hungry.
Even though she had eaten three plates of desserts after lunch.
But, still hungry.
So, she said no more and began to eat.
After eating for a while, she noticed he kept watching her.
It seed that he wasn’t much interested in the dishes on the table.
She reached out, picking up a chopstick-full of Little Bai Cai and placed it on his porcelain plate.
She explained earnestly,
"The Imperial Physician said you shouldn’t eat at dishes."
It seed her explanation took effect.
Finally, he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat the Little Bai Cai in front of him.
Thinking about the wound on his chest,
she stood up, moving all the dishes he could eat closer to him,
ensuring he could reach them.
She watched him eat thodically, bite by bite.
Only then did Su Yan start munching on the chicken leg again.
