Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

After the morning court session the next day, Jinchen was just about to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Zhiwei standing beside the dragon bed, smiling without saying a word.

Jinchen was stunned for a long while before he slowly sat up and moved inside.

"Little uncle, do you have something to say?"

Xie Zhiwei sat down, as if she hadn't noticed Jinchen's move to retreat. "Today is the royal hunting day, Your Majesty should get up early and prepare."

Today? It's going to happen! The original body of the royal hunt was seriously injured!

Jinchen was stunned for a moment, "You...why didn't you say it yesterday?"

Xie Zhiwei seemed puzzled, "Didn't your majesty ask me to leave yesterday?"

Jinchen: "..."

How old are you and how old am I? You hold a grudge, don't you?

Perhaps it was because the little emperor's expression was too wonderful, Xie Zhiwei smiled a little more, "Come and change clothes for your majesty."

These words were spoken to the serving palace maid, so the tone naturally became cold. Jinchen raised his eyes and glanced at him secretly.

Since they were changing clothes, it was inevitable to get closer, but the palace maids were used to taking care of each other and would never make any unnecessary moves.

But today, no matter how Xie Zhiwei looked at this scene, he found it a little glaring.

When Jinchen first came to him, he was only fourteen years old. He was a tiny kid who hadn’t grown up yet and could only cry all day long, wishing for the dead emperor.

Now that he is almost coming of age, Xie Zhiwei discovered only today that the little emperor has grown into the noble and heroic appearance that only a true dragon emperor can have.

"Many years have passed, and Your Majesty has grown up a lot." Xie Zhiwei said, and then stood up and approached Jinchen who was standing beside the bed, and took the brocade robe that the palace maid was about to put on him, "I will help Your Majesty change clothes."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Jinchen fell down, his legs went weak and he almost fell on his butt, and he managed to keep steady by holding onto the edge of the bed.

Xie Zhiwei raised her hand and it froze, a cold aura spreading all over her. The only sound in the hall was the sound of the palace maids kneeling down.

It's so embarrassing!!

Jinchen stood up trembling. Who could have thought that this body was so scared? His legs went weak as a conditioned reflex when Jie Zhiwei approached him!

Xie Zhiwei pulled Jinchen's arm and pulled him over, softening her voice. "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty."

But the tone sounds so dangerous.

Jin Chen's body was frozen, "I, I'm not afraid!"

Jinchen simply closed her eyes and let him change her clothes, treating herself like a clothes rack.

But then I thought, no, I need to desensitize myself! I can't just cut off all contact with it.

As a result, Jinchen's mind began to become active again. While Jie Zhiwei was buttoning his outer robe, his face suddenly turned pale and his body became weak. He subconsciously grabbed something to stabilize his body, and threw himself into Jie Zhiwei's arms.

"Your Majesty?" Xie Zhiwei was hugged by his waist, but she didn't have time to think about the strangeness of this posture. "What's wrong with you?"

"I... feel dizzy."

Jinchen responded casually, and continued talking despite his weak legs, his chin resting on Jie Zhiwei's shoulder, speaking in a dragging tone.

"Little uncle...I feel so uncomfortable."

So just don't let me go to the hunting ground! Have fun!

Not to mention that she is about to reach adulthood, even the fourteen-year-old Jinchen has never acted like this. Only when she was really scared would she cast a weak and pitiful look as if begging.

Xie Zhiwei had never encountered such a situation before. He was a little dazed for a moment and patted Jinchen's back hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, be obedient. You are the Son of Heaven and must be in charge of the hunting grounds."

He held Jinchen's shoulders and lifted the weak-looking young emperor from his arms, and his tone involuntarily softened.

"I will accompany you."

Although Xie Zhiwei didn't know what Jinchen was up to today, it didn't prevent his slightly uneasy mood from returning to normal. When he was in a good mood, he was always willing to talk to Jinchen more.

Jinchen could only agree, and nodded sickly, holding his forehead with his hand, "Then I'll ask the little uncle to help you today..." That's it. He had to face a life-and-death crisis right after arriving. Could this weak body withstand it?

I thought the excitement of the morning was over, but unexpectedly, exciting topics came one after another.

According to previous rules, Xie Zhiwei would have gone to the imperial study to review memorials by now, but perhaps because they were going to the hunting ground together, the Regent actually stayed in the palace to have breakfast with Jinchen for the first time.

He also talked about what was discussed at the morning court today.

"You want to help me select a concubine?"

Jin Chen's jade spoon nearly fell into the soup bowl. His slightly drooping peach blossom eyes suddenly widened in surprise. "Or did all the court officials discuss this collectively? They never mentioned this before, why are they talking about it all of a sudden?"

Xie Zhiwei wiped the corner of his mouth slowly and said calmly: "It is already the end of May. Your Majesty will come of age in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. It is time to fill the harem."

You should know that up to now, there is still no woman in Jinchen's harem, and there are already rumors in the court.

Jin Chen thought about it and continued to drink his soup peacefully, looking completely unconcerned. "It's all up to the little uncle."

Xie Zhiwei's expression did not change, he just stared at Jinchen's handsome face as he lowered his head to drink soup, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Does my opinion matter?" Jinchen tilted his head and looked at him. There was no sarcasm or irony in his tone, only genuine doubt.

He was a figurehead emperor, a useless little blood supplier for Jie Zhiwei, so what was the importance of his opinion?

Xie Zhiwei seemed to understand the meaning of Jinchen's words, his expression suddenly darkened, and an indescribable feeling of depression lingered in his heart.

After a long silence, when Jinchen had almost finished eating, Xie Zhiwei continued, "In that case, let's choose a queen for your majesty first. What do you think, Chu Qingqing, the daughter of the Minister of Chancellery?"

The daughter of the Shangshu Ling...

Jin Chen lowered his eyes and thought for a while. In the original plot, Shang Shu Ling changed from being Jie Zhiwei's man to the protagonist Gong Mu Chongzheng's man. He was a complete fence-sitter.

But his legitimate daughter Chu Qingqing was a woman of strategy. She later entered the court as a female official with her martial arts skills.

"I think...it's okay." Jinchen still did not refute and smiled at Jie Zhi, but there was not much joy in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Xie Zhiwei felt even more confused.

He has always been a difficult person to please, and he didn't plan to accompany Jinchen for breakfast. He said goodbye coldly and left.

Jinchen was so scared that he drank two more bowls of soup.

-

Royal hunting grounds.

As soon as Jinchen got off the carriage, he saw a group of people waiting there to pay him a visit. The person leading the group was the protagonist Gong Mu Chongzheng, the direct disciple of his father who had passed away many years ago.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty."

Jinchen stood firmly with the help of the guards, and was immediately chilled by the wind from the suburbs. He silently wrapped himself in his cloak and hid behind Xie Zhiwei, the only person still standing, to block the wind.

"My dear ministers, please stand up." Jin Chen looked at Jie Zhiwei as soon as he finished speaking. His voice was trembling in the strong wind. "Little uncle, I... I am so cold!"

Xie Zhiwei: “…”

The wind in the suburbs blew from all directions, and Xie Zhiwei could only pull Jinchen into his arms to block the wind, "Your Majesty, please follow me into the tent quickly."

He never cared what others thought, and of course the officials present did not dare to look at him any more.

Except for Mu Chongzheng.

Mu Zhongzheng was closest to the two of them. Looking at the little emperor lying quietly in Xie Zhiwei's arms, he was filled with confusion.

The last time he entered the palace, he had clearly ruined the relationship between Jinchen and Jie Zhiwei, and Jinchen was even more convinced that Jie Zhiwei wanted to kill him.

How come in just half a month, Jinchen has become as stupid as before!

"Han Zhou, take the things I brought and go see His Majesty."

"Yes." Han Zhou nodded, glanced at Jie Zhiwei's personal guards inconspicuously, and quickly looked away.
