Chapter 740 Accompanying the Emperor(2/2)

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and he quietly waited for Liu Xie to continue talking.

Liu Xie's eyes were a little confused, as if he was immersed in that dream, "I dreamed of Liu Bei, and he cried to me, and I... I am a beggar."

A look of pain appeared on Liu Xie's face, and his hands were trembling slightly.

Xi Yu was shocked. He looked at Liu Xie and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Liu Xie's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness. He said as if he was talking to himself: "I don't know what this dream means, and I feel very uneasy."

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Majesty, dreams are illusory things, maybe you don't have to pay too much attention."

Liu Xie shook his head and said with a sad expression: "But I always feel that this dream seems to have a deep meaning. Liu Bei cried to me, but I became a beggar. Does this indicate anything?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although the situation is complicated now, Your Majesty is the emperor and the lord of all people. He will definitely not be like in his dream. Perhaps this dream is just caused by His Majesty's worries."

Xi Yu thought to himself that Liu Xie's statement was probably a dream-making statement made up on purpose, but he could not easily reveal it.

He lowered his head slightly, his expression calm, but his heart was thinking about the solutions to the situation.

Xi Yu knew very well that although Liu Xie was a puppet emperor, he also had his own thoughts and plans. This seemingly absurd dream words may have deeper intentions hidden behind them.

If it is revealed at this time, it will inevitably arouse Liu Xie's disgust and alertness, and may even cause unpredictable consequences.

Liu Xie's eyes showed a hint of melancholy and he said slowly: "No matter whether this dream is true or false, I really think of Liu Bei in my heart. I don't know what his situation is now?"

Xi Yu's heart moved, but his face remained silent. He bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send someone to pay attention to this matter. Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and it is reasonable for Your Majesty to worry about it. I will do my best to inquire about Liu Bei's news for Your Majesty."

When Liu Xie heard Xi Yu's response, his face suddenly burst into joy.

He held Xi Yu's hand tightly, his eyes full of anticipation, "It's so good. Let's go and accompany me to walk around this yard."

The two of them slowly walked into the courtyard, and the sun shone on them, but they could not dispel the depressing atmosphere in the courtyard.

Liu Xie walked and said softly: "Xi Yu, when you have nothing to do, come and see me more. I often feel lonely in this palace."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and responded respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will come to accompany Your Majesty often."

He knew in his heart that Liu Xie's request at this moment was not only out of emotional demand, but also a kind of win over and reliance on him.

Liu Xie and Xi Yu continued to walk in the yard. Liu Xie looked slightly and asked, "Xi Yu, what's new in the near future?"

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, there has been some movement in the Xianbei area recently. Although I did not intervene on purpose, the surrounding areas also need stability. I have sent people to pay close attention and made some corresponding arrangements."

Liu Xie stopped, nodded slightly, and his eyes showed appreciation, "You did the right thing. Only when the surrounding area is stable can I feel at ease. The situation in the world is turbulent and the forces of all parties are complicated. If you are not careful, it will cause chaos. I am very pleased that you can care about the overall situation."

Xi Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is absurd. I am just doing my duty to share your worries and seeking stability for the world."

Liu Xie sighed lightly, "When will the world be truly peaceful..." He looked into the distance, his eyes full of worries and expectations.

Liu Xie stood in the courtyard, and his thoughts suddenly floated above the card game.

A trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and he turned to Xi Yu and said, "I suddenly remembered playing cards. Xi Yu, are you willing to play a game with me?"

Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then nodded and responded: "Your Majesty has such a good mood, I should accompany you."

Liu Xie showed joy on his face and immediately ordered the little eunuch around him to prepare the card equipment.

Soon, two little eunuchs rushed over, holding cards and tables and chairs in their hands.

The four of them sat down in a shade in the courtyard, and Liu Xie began to shuffle with great enthusiasm.

"Today's game, let's see who is the winner." Liu Xie said with a smile.

At the beginning of the card game, the atmosphere was a little nervous for a moment. The young eunuchs played the cards carefully, and their eyes glanced at Liu Xie and Xi Yu from time to time.

Liu Xie was focused, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.

Xi Yu played cards carefully, neither wanting to defeat Liu Xie and let him lose face, nor losing too clearly that people can see deliberateness.

The sun shines through the gaps of the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the card table.

The card game continued in a tense and delicate atmosphere. Liu Xie sometimes showed joy because he played a good hand,

Sometimes I frowned slightly because of the unfavorable situation.

Xi Yu always maintains a perfect expression, neither too ostentatious nor dull.

The two little eunuchs were even more cautious. They knew that this card game was not only entertainment, but also about their performance in front of the emperor.

Every time I play cards, I think carefully, for fear of mistakes.

As the game progressed, Liu Xie seemed to gradually relax.

"Xi Yu, this game is like life, unpredictable." Liu Xie said with emotion.

Xi Yu nodded slightly, "What Your Majesty said is very true. Life is like a card game, full of unknowns and challenges."

Liu Xie smiled slightly, "Then do you think we should play cards in this game in the world?"

Xi Yu felt a stern, and he understood that the emperor was testing him. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the world need to be judged and cautious in playing cards. Only by taking benevolence as the basis and wisdom as the plan can one seek stability in this complex situation."

After hearing this, Liu Xie nodded thoughtfully.

The card game continued, and a different kind of tranquility and tension permeated the courtyard. This card game seemed to have become a unique stage for communication and competition between the emperor and his subjects.

The game was coming to an end without realizing it, and the sun gradually rose, and it was time to eat.

Liu Xie put down the card in his hand with an unfulfilled desire, looked at Xi Yu, and said with a smile: "Xi Yu, let's stay and have a meal with me today. I am very happy today."

Xi Yu quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty is very kind, I am very grateful."

Soon, the hearty meal was brought up.

Liu Xie and Xi Yu sat opposite each other, while the two little eunuchs were serving carefully.

Liu Xie's face was filled with a joyful smile, as if he had temporarily forgotten the troubles and pressure in the court.

"I played this game today and I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." Liu Xie said while picking up a dish and putting it into his mouth.

Xi Yu nodded slightly, "It is really a blessing for your Majesty to have a moment of joy."
