Liu Yu did not dare to sit down, but Eunuch Han placed the small footstool next to him. The emperor sat on the jade steps and motioned for Liu Yu to sit down.
Liu Yu carried the small footstool to the emperor's feet and sat down there.
The emperor looked at him condescendingly. Liu Yu had aged a lot in the past two years. His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he looked as if he had aged by more than ten years.
"Liu Yu, are they bullying you?"
Liu Yu wiped her tears, shook her head, and said with a smile: "The slaves are His Majesty's slaves. Who dares to bully you? The slaves are still in charge of the palace. They have to ask the slaves for anything they want. It's too late to flatter them."
The emperor nodded, "Well, then I bullied you?"
Liu Yu was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I don't dare."
But the emperor asked him to get up, "Don't make such a fuss, I know you, don't be afraid, come and sit."
Liu Yu went over and sat down again.
The emperor said: "Liu Yu, tell me, what do I think of Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu?"
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to tell the truth or revise it.
But he knew that the emperor came to him just to listen to the truth. If he told lies, there would be a lot of people telling him.
Liu Yudao: "Your Majesty, my servant said frankly that your Majesty has deep trust in King Yan and entrusts you with important responsibilities. Your Majesty appreciates Shen Mingzhu very much and gives her a broad space that other women cannot display."
The emperor sneered, "Then tell me, why are they so ungrateful and disrespectful to me many times?"
Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, before King Yan and Miss Shen were executed, they respected your Majesty very much." He looked up at the top of the main hall. The fan above was made by Shen Mingzhu.
It was for the emperor.
Although His Majesty hates Shen Mingzhu, every time the hot summer comes, this fan is a pleasure to use and it is very convenient.
What Liu Yu meant was that the emperor suddenly changed his mind, went back on his word, and treated Shen Mingzhu badly, which was why the two of them were disappointed.
The emperor looked at him with a scrutinizing expression, as if he was wondering whether Liu Yu had betrayed him and had taken refuge with Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian.
Liu Yu had no bad intentions and was not afraid of him seeing it.
The emperor said angrily: "According to what you say, I was wrong?"
Liu Yudao: "Although your Majesty is a noble person, he is still a human being. Since he is a human being, he will make mistakes."
The emperor laughed, but his anger was revealed, "Then according to you, how can I apologize? How can I win back the hearts of King Yan and Shen Mingzhu?"
Liu Yu sighed and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to win back their hearts."
The emperor looked at him gloomily, "What do you mean?"
Liu Yu also took the risk and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for them to contribute to Your Majesty as before, but Your Majesty can still make remedies so that they will not be in trouble with Your Majesty. This is enough."
It would be a real pity if people like King Yan and Shen Mingzhu could not become friends.
But if you really can't force yourself and can't be friends, then at least don't be enemies, otherwise it would be too scary.
The emperor sneered again and again, "According to what you say, I have to live by their faces. If I don't please them, they will become my enemy. Is there no way for me to survive? Ridiculous, ridiculous, childish!"
Seeing that the emperor was so conceited and self-willed, Liu Yu could not help but be very anxious. She knelt down and advised: "Your Majesty, please do not act on your own initiative. Although King Yan and Miss Shen have prejudices against Your Majesty, they still understand justice and will not easily become enemies of Your Majesty.
