He excitedly ran upstairs, ready to go all out. But when he reached the third floor, he was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to get up there when he was faced with that thin silk? Turning his head to look at the National Tutor, who was still leisurely drinking tea on the second floor, Su Yu scratched his head, "Imperial Uncle, how do I get up there?"
The National Tutor put down the teacup in his hand, but he didn't intend to get up to help. He just raised his head and said to Su Yu, "Tell His Majesty to get you up there." Then, he continued to leisurely drink his tea.
"His Majesty?" Su Yu blinked. Was His Majesty here? He looked around and circled around the silk. Helpless, he could only raise his head and shout, "His Majesty, His Majesty?"
Anguo Tower seemed to be silent for a moment. Not long after, the Emperor, who was dressed in a white robe, came down from the sky with one hand holding the silk. "Stupid slave, why are you calling Zhen?"
"His Majesty, do you really think I'm here?" Su Yu jumped up in surprise. There were soft cushions everywhere on the third floor. He only cared about looking at His Majesty and didn't look at his feet. He lost his balance and directly fell into His Majesty's arms.
An Hong-chul raised his hand to catch the clumsy stupid slave and helped him stand firm, "Outside, don't throw yourself into my arms."
Who threw themselves into his arms? Su Yu was helpless. Looking at the serious His Majesty, he was powerless to argue with him, "His Majesty, I'll have to trouble you to bring this official to the fourth floor. This official wants to go up to kill fish."
"You called Zhen down just to use Zhen as a ladder?" His Majesty was suddenly unhappy. Hearing the stupid slave call him so urgently, he thought that the National Tutor did something to him and hurriedly came down. Unexpectedly, it was just for such a trivial matter!
"Uh …" Su Yu blinked. It was a bit wrong to order His Majesty around like this, but there were only the three of them in the tower, "But, without His Majesty, this official can't go up by myself."
An Hong-chul heard this and coldly snorted, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raise. Ai, this stupid slave was so dependent on him, it was really annoying. But as a good master, he would still satisfy this small request. With one hand holding Su Yu in His Majesty's arms, the other hand held the silk. His feet, and with a "whoosh" sound, he rushed up to the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor, His Majesty, His Majesty....
"The National Tutor brought His Majesty," His Majesty replied.
His Majesty immediately frowned. "Damn it!" Did the State Preceptor also carry his stupid slave up like this? Even the Imperial Uncle couldn't take advantage of him like this!
The Emperor angrily turned around and jumped down from the third floor, then rushed straight to the second floor.
Su Yu didn't know what was going on and thought that the Emperor had left because of an urgent matter. He looked at the first stone room with its door open and walked straight in. In the stone room, there were five mackerel that had been cleaned of blood and a bucket of boiling water. After recalling how to kill mackerel, Su Yu took a deep breath, picked up his knife, and began to work.
The National Tutor had told him to kill these fish and roast them outside. At night, he would use them as a sacrifice to the heavens. Although he didn't understand why he had to roast fish for the sacrifice to the heavens, Su Yu put his reward, the biggest mackerel, into the fish basket. Then, he obediently roasted the remaining four fish.
There seemed to be more seasonings today than yesterday. Su Yu was interested in mixing two kinds of barbecue sauce. One was savory, and the other was savory. But the surface of both had to be brushed with honey. The fish that had been brushed with honey sizzled on the charcoal fire. Su Yu worked on both sides. He could roast two fish at the same time. Just as he was working energetically, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Su Yu's hand that was roasting the fish paused. He slowly turned his head and saw four pairs of sparkling eyes staring at him without blinking. Two big tabby cats and two small yellow cats were squatting in a row on the ground. They were staring at him. The National Tutor had come up at some point. He was sitting behind the four cats. He supported his chin with one hand and looked at him with his cold eyes.
Su Yu blinked, then blinked again. "Where's His Majesty?"
"The fish are burnt." The National Tutor reminded him softly.
"Ah!" Su Yu quickly flipped the fish.
After the two fish were roasted, the National Tutor asked Su Yu to put them on a plate and roast two more for the sacrifice to the heavens. By the time Su Yu finished roasting the two fish for the sacrifice to the heavens, only the tails of the previous two fish were left.
After roasting the fish in Anguo Tower, Su Yu tried to coax the sauce to go back to the North Pole Palace with him. He failed. Su Yu carried his reward and slowly went back. Thinking about the large group of cats in Anguo Tower, Su Yu doubted that the sacrifice could be kept until the night.
Anyway, the sacrifice to the heavens had nothing to do with him. The most important thing was to go back and make a delicious roasted fish for the emperor.
The tools in Anguo Tower were simple and crude. They couldn't make high-class dishes. The North Pole Palace had the chili that Prince Ling had just sent. Su Yu was going to make a roasted fish for the emperor.
At night, the emperor dragged his heavy footsteps back. As soon as he entered the hall, he fell onto the soft cushion and didn't move.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Su Yu walked over and touched the emperor's forehead.
"I'm tired." The emperor put his head on Su Yu's lap and stretched. A man's body should be hard. Normally, the Emperor was also very firm to the touch, but when he stretched, he looked very soft. His slender body stretched like a bow and then quickly bounced back, encircling Su Yu.
"Your Majesty, are you going to practice martial arts in Anguo Tower in the afternoon?" Su Yu looked at his dangerous movements and was very worried. He rubbed his waist for fear that he would hurt himself.
"Oh …" The emperor answered vaguely. His Majesty felt very comfortable being rubbed, and he was about to fall asleep.
He and the National Tutor temporarily put aside their prejudices and went back to the fourth floor because the roasted fish was almost done. After Su Yu left, An Hong-chul and Imperial Uncle continued to discuss in depth the topic of "how did Imperial Uncle get his niece-in-law to the fourth floor yesterday?"
After eating and drinking to their fill, Prince Ling and Prince Su saw that the situation was not right. They picked up the little fat cat that was still licking its paws and ran away.
The result of the fight between the emperor and the National Tutor was that Su Yu did not have to go to Anguo Tower for three days. He could only stay by the emperor's side and recite the illustrations. After three days, Su Yu went again and found that there was a rope ladder between the third floor and the fourth floor. When he walked over, the yellow and white little fat cat would appear on the fourth floor. It would push the rope ladder down and then quickly climb back to the fifth floor, afraid that Su Yu would climb up and touch it.
During these three days, Su Yu was tied to the emperor's side. In the morning, he accompanied the emperor to read memorials. In the afternoon, he accompanied the emperor to sleep. In the afternoon, he accompanied the emperor to play. In short, he was not allowed to leave even half a step.
For three days in a row, the imperial censor tried to hit the pillar in the imperial court. The emperor continued to do as he pleased. He insisted on using Su Yu as a cushion and feeding him snacks when he was reading memorials. As for Su Yu, he gradually became immune to the ministers' glares.
Su Yu found that the emperor was working to eradicate a part of the power in the imperial court. His methods were swift and decisive, without the slightest bit of sloppiness. This was a good way to put it. The so-called swift and decisive action, in Su Yu's opinion, could be summarized as simple and crude. He wondered if there was a problem with the emperor's way of ruling the country.
After all, the right and wrong of many things was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. When the emperor determined the right and wrong of a matter and whether a person was guilty or not, his speed was a bit too fast.
"Your Majesty, are you not going to investigate?" Su Yu watched as the emperor neatly wrote the word "behead" on the memorial that he had just glanced at. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"What is there to investigate?" The emperor threw the memorial to the side and leaned on Su Yu to yawn. "As long as zhen is here, the world will not lose its fairness."
