Chapter 35: Master
After a while, Ye Shuo recovered and tried to persuade him: “It’s me who wants to go to the rockery, and it’s me who wants to enjoy the breeze there. What does it have to do with you?”
Wu Yi lowered his eyes and said, “It is my fault that I did not stop the young prince in time.”
Ye Shuo: “…”
You talk as if you can really make the decision for me, and I don’t even think about when have I ever listened to you.
Covering his aching chest, Ye Shuo choked, then continued to guide him: “You also said that I am the master, and you are the servant. If I insist on doing it my own way, you will have no way to stop me. Can you really force me to make a choice that I don’t like?”
“Naturally.”
Unexpectedly, Wu Yi did not think it was wrong after hearing it, but nodded very affirmatively: “I only listen to Your Majesty and obey Your Majesty’s orders. Your Majesty has instructed me before, so when I sense danger, I can take the little prince away from there regardless of his objection.”
However, he did not. He failed to realize in time that the wind from the rockery would hurt the little prince’s body. This was a dereliction of duty.
The more he talked, the guilt in Wu Yi’s heart not only did not subside, but became heavier.
