After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 719 But Not Bad

"Here's the thing, let me show you the injury report first..."

Sheng Luoxin's attitude was quite serious, and Sheng Hanyu didn't intend to be perfunctory. He pulled up the report and sent it to Sheng Luoxin.

"..." Sheng Luoxin didn't speak, and looked down at the report.

Ye Sanqing gave Sheng Hanyu a look that said, "I'll leave for now," and then she... she went to make tea.

She actually went to make tea!

When has she ever brewed tea... especially in front of Sheng Hanyu?

Sheng Hanyu was speechless, but he couldn't just leave to take the job, so he had no choice but to sit there obediently.

"How did you do this?" Sheng Luoxin breathed a sigh of relief after reading the report, but he didn't show it. Instead, he continued to ask Sheng Hanyu with a stern face.

Sheng Hanyu: I feel like this expression of his came more than ten years late.

When do we usually see this expression? It's when a child is naughty and hurts themselves, and that's when parents make this face.

Sheng Hanyu has always been a person who doesn't cause trouble, so he hasn't actually experienced this.

"...It's a long story. This time I went to the Lu family, and then..." Sheng Hanyu recounted the events in detail.

Of course, he embellished the story a bit, only mentioning the trap and the vehicle accident, omitting the dangers he faced at the Lu family's residence earlier.

Ye Sanqing brought over tea, and Sheng Hanyu immediately took the teapot and poured tea for everyone.

Ye Sanqing sat silently beside him and listened to him finish speaking.

Now she understood perfectly well how different the version of events Sheng Hanyu told Sheng Luoxin was from the version he told her...

"Won't they get arrested for this?" Sheng Luoxin asked, her expression worried and puzzled upon hearing that someone would set a trap on the road.

Ye Sanqing thought to himself, "I'm puzzled too. This isn't a lawless place, is it? They've really used almost every means at their disposal..."

"I was taken away right then and there," Sheng Hanyu answered honestly. "It was an accident..."

"I know it was an accident. Are you in pain?" Sheng Luoxin's seriousness lasted until this point, when he could no longer control his worry.

"It definitely hurts a bit, but I've already received treatment, so I feel okay..." Sheng Hanyu answered truthfully.

Actually, he didn't feel any pain at the time. He only noticed the wound after he had almost finished dealing with the matter. It only hurt for a short while before he went to the hospital. After applying the medicine, it was fine.

"Be careful next time. Try not to do dangerous things yourself," Sheng Luoxin instructed. "Just follow the doctor's advice for the next few days and don't move around. Rest well in your room, and I'll take care of you."

Sheng Hanyu looked surprised, "This..."

It's not that he's saying this, but ever since he was old enough to understand things, he's actually taken care of Sheng Luoxin more often... but it's not that Sheng Luoxin is completely incapable, it's just that she's quite strange.

“What I mean is, I’ll have my assistant take care of you…” Sheng Luoxin said, then realized she was willing but unable to do so, and sighed, “Why do you always run into these kinds of things? Is there something you haven’t told me?”

"Well..." Ye Sanqing spoke up at this moment, "I didn't want this to happen either, but it has already happened, and if we don't deal with it, it might become even more dangerous later..."

She looked at Sheng Luoxin as sincerely as possible.

This experience was rather magical, because Ye Sanqing rarely needed to explain things to anyone.

It's probably been two hundred years... Since she ascended the throne, there are many things that no longer need her to explain.

Giving orders to subordinates is one thing, but this kind of experience... facing an elder is quite rare.

But it's not bad either?

Since the other party was clearly worried rather than blaming them, and did not use their status as elders to forcibly suppress them, Ye Sanqing felt that it was acceptable.

Or rather, she began to understand this feeling.

“Sanqing, I know you didn’t mean it,” Sheng Luoxin said helplessly. “I’m not completely clueless. I know your affairs with the Lu family are complicated, and I didn’t mean to blame you. I just…”

"Dad, I'm sorry. I made you worry," Sheng Hanyu said immediately. "I will take good care of myself. Actually, this matter... was my fault for not being careful enough."

"Please don't do that again next time, it really worries me." Sheng Luoxin said hesitantly, "Am I useless? Or have you all grown up and I'm no longer able to share these burdens?"

Sheng Luoxin often doubted himself on this point, feeling that the problems Sheng Hanyu was facing were far beyond his comprehension.

Even when Sheng Hanyu was in danger last time, he couldn't handle it himself and had to ask Pei Zhen to deal with it...

Sheng Luoxin sighed again as she thought of this.

But he knew Sheng Hanyu didn't want him to wallow in self-pity, so he tried his best to act like an ordinary elder, but his mood was still...

“These things aren’t really your responsibility,” Ye Sanqing said suddenly, his voice serious. “You don’t need to take it to heart. I promise I won’t let him get hurt again.”

She even used honorifics… Sheng Hanyu wanted to scratch his head a little, “Sanqing is right…”

He could only offer a single word of agreement, because he was completely unable to explain it to the unsuspecting Sheng Luoxin.

On the surface, it seems like they're just trying to interfere in the Lu family's internal strife and gain some personal benefits, but in reality, it's all about various timelines, and there's no real reason behind it.

“I don’t blame you, and he should have protected himself.” Sheng Luoxin paused before saying, “I’m just in a bad mood. I often feel like my existence is… meaningless. I can’t do anything except act.”

“You can’t say that. Think about how many viewers like you…” Sheng Hanyu said helplessly, but he didn’t show his helplessness.

Because he knew very well that Sheng Luoxin's psychological problems couldn't be solved in a few words; it was a long-term process that required patience and repeated reassurance.

“That’s right. People don’t need to know how to do everything in this world. Don’t overthink it,” Ye Sanqing advised.

"It's okay, I was just feeling down for a moment. I understand the道理 (principles/reasons), and I feel a little embarrassed to have you two comfort me." Sheng Luoxin put on a smile and said, "Why don't we eat first?"

He won't recover so quickly. Every time he sees Sheng Hanyu busy with something, especially when he's injured like this, this feeling of helplessness comes over him.

But he also knew that letting negative emotions spread unchecked was irresponsible to everyone. He was the one who was worried about Sheng Hanyu, but now the two of them were worried about him—what kind of situation was this?

So he quickly adjusted.

"Okay, let's eat first," Sheng Hanyu said, sending a message to have the ordered food delivered now.

"What are we having for dinner? Did anything fun happen on set today?"

Upon hearing the word "dinner," Ye Sanqing immediately moved quickly to the dining table.
