232 A broken hearted husband

” Your majesty?”

” Your majesty?” ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

” Tianyu what are you doing!” A voice hissed in Zhai Tianyu’s ears causing the latter to open his eyes in shock and surprise as he turned to look at Yu Lingyun who was standing beside him for some reason. When Zhai Tianyu saw that Yu Lingyun was standing in front of him, he was very surprised and could not help but ask, ” What are you doing here?”

He was sitting on his throne and without his permission, no one even the general of the imperial army did not have the right to come forward, but for some reason, Yu Lingyun was standing right in front of him, this caused Zhai Tianyu to be stunned, as far as he knew Yu Lingyun was not someone who would carelessly throw the rules and moral conduct of the imperial courtroom.

“It is great that you still remember that you are sitting in the imperial throne room,” Yu Lingyun continued whispering as if he was worried that he would be heard by someone. ” You were sitting in a daze like an idiot, I thought you were pitch drunk! You are supposed to be holding the court, your majesty, what are you doing? Staring off at the horizon? Are you trying to summon the Gods or what ?”

Only then did Zhai Tianyu remember that the two sections of the imperial court have called for a meeting and he was supposed to be paying attention to what they were saying but ever since last night, Zhai Tianyu could no longer pay attention to anything that was happening around him, it would be better to say that half of his mind was still lost in that hour of night where the Queen refused him and left him behind.

He has been sincere and caring when he told Liu Hui Ying that he wanted to protect her but the latter has thrown his sincerity away in just a few words, he wanted to look for the Queen and ask her what she meant by that she will never be his wife but later on he realised that he truly did not have the right to do so, again and again, he has tried to kill her even though it was when he did not know that there was another soul inside that of his wife’s body but it did not change anything.

Nor did it change the fact that he almost killed Liu Hui Ying in the second attempt, it could be said that she was very lucky and had the skills to stop the attack on time or else——-

” Your majesty, what are you doing?” Yu Lingyun saw that Zhai Tianyu was once again lost in his thoughts and wished he could grab Zhai Tianyu by the scuff of his robe and shake him awake, was this the place for him to be sleeping? This was the throne room! The imperial court, if they were caught slacking then the two sides of the Ji and the Liu family might as well go to war physically in this very courtroom!

.....

It wasn’t as if they have not already but still! What kind of behaviour was this?

” Forgive Zhen,” Zhai Tianyu snapped out of his daze for the second time and then turned to look at the front of the imperial court where the ministers from the Liu and the Ji family were all looking at him, the Liu family were a mix of both the military and the scholarly ministers while the Ji family only relied on their scholarly attributes to stay in the court.

Usually, they would be dressed in vibrant red with white clothing but today only the Ji family were dressed in their vibrant red uniform while the ones from the Liu family were all dressed in white and at the moment were glaring at the Ji family with burning hatred in their eyes.

Seeing this Zhai Tianyu’s eyes flickered slightly and he was reminded of what his aunt has said to him before she passed on, he turned his attention to the Ji family and noticed quite a few gloating expressions, they were hidden very well but maybe they thought that him being the puppet Emperor, would not be able to see through them.

Zhai Tianyu’s fingers clenched as he took in a breath sharply, he always thought that it was only the Liu family who looked down on him but now that he was seeing the court with unbiased eyes he could see that the people who looked down on him in the Ji family were just as much as the Liu family.

‘ The Ji family will always be by your side.’ This was what his grandmother told him back then and as a child, he believed everything that she said to him. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Though his insides felt like they have been scooped out, and his entire body was sweating like all the air from his guts have been knocked out, he still morphed his expression to that of an idiotic smile and said, ” Zhen drank too much last night, which is why Zhen was in a daze for a little while. I hope that no one will mind my little mess up, it would be too awkward for me.”

As he spoke, he looked at the Ji family ministers and Liu family ministers who were looking at him with their heads raised, he noticed that among the ones who did not look down at him with a contemptuous gaze in their eyes was Liu Dong Ming.

That man has been known for his sharp and ruthless tactics and with his tactics, he should have been looking down at him the most, since he was acting like a fool but the man’s gaze was very calm as he met his gaze and then parted his lips as he replied, ” We ministers don’t dare to question the authority of his majesty. It’s understandable that after losing one of your concubines you were slightly heartbroken last night, it’s nothing to apologise about.”

In just a few words Liu Dong Ming changed the entire situation of the court, Zhai Tianyu who was supposed to be called out for his lack of attention suddenly became a heartbroken man who lost his wife.
