The Young Emperor, while eating, noticed the man sitting across from him with a somewhat stiff expression.
Wasn't he preparing to usurp his throne in the Imperial City?
Why is he here?
Has he given up on usurping the throne?
"Your Majesty," Rong Shi politely asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
The Young Emperor suddenly put down his chopsticks: "General Rong, why are you here?"
"The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty have been away from the capital for months. I was worried, so I came to protect you." Rong Shi's reason was so plausible that the Young Emperor almost believed it.
"I appointed you to oversee the state!"
"The Prime Minister is still present, Your Majesty. You needn't worry."
"..."
The Young Emperor had finally convinced himself not to return to the Imperial City and to live leisurely as a carefree young nobleman.
After all, his mother had ample wealth, so he had no issues living a debauched lifestyle.
