Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Prince, and the Duke are eager to see you."

"My little cousin is here! Let him in quickly." Jin Chen had just said listlessly that he wanted to drink some hot soup, but now he was no longer insistent and hurriedly let Mu Zhong come in.

They are still in a "good brother" relationship now!

Jin Chen turned his head and looked at Jie Zhiwei silently, "Little uncle, you must be very busy, right?"

The slender fingers that were making tea were retracted, and the atmosphere changed subtly again.

Xie Zhiwei took the handkerchief and wiped the water stains, then looked at Jinchen with an ambiguous expression, "Your Majesty, are you trying to drive me away?"

"I didn't." Jin Chen sighed slightly, with red in his eyes, "I just want to talk to my little cousin."

He pulled up Xie Zhiwei's sleeves, "Little uncle... I beg you."

Xie Zhiwei did not move, but just looked at Jinchen with a smile as before, but it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Time passed by minute by minute. Without Xie Zhiwei's consent, the guards did not dare to let Mu Zhong in, even if Jinchen had personally agreed.

Jinchen also looked back, the redness in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, he was about to cry, and suddenly he pulled his hand back.

"My little uncle is worried about me meeting with others, so let my cousin go back. I am tired and I want to go to sleep."

Just go to sleep! Don’t see anyone!

Jinchen grinned secretly and rolled into the quilt.

Xie Zhiwei lowered his eyes and looked at the sleeve that Jinchen had just held, then raised his hand to smooth it out. The little emperor was a simple-minded person, and he hadn't figured out anything just now. Perhaps he was just overthinking.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Someone, let the prince in."

"Yes." The guard replied immediately.

Xie Zhiwei bent over and stood beside the bed, his fingers lightly hooked on the quilt, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Jinchen inadvertently poked his head out, revealing wet eyes and brows.

"Wasn't the little uncle angry just now?"

"No." Xie Zhiwei wiped away the moisture from the corners of the boy's eyes with his fingers. His heart moved, and he curled up his fingers and put them back into his sleeves.

Jinchen watched Jie Zhiwei leave, then sat up and covered himself with the heavy quilt as if it were a cloak, leaving only his head exposed.

"Cousin! Long time no see!" He looked at Mu Zhongzheng who was walking towards him with a lunch box with joy, but he sneered in his heart.

It can be said that Mu Zhongzheng's method of winning over the original body was cheap enough. Relying on the fact that the original body had been strictly controlled since childhood, he only used those new and novel toys that the people in the capital used to amuse children, plus freedom and the title of escaping from the birdcage, and he was able to make the original body obedient.

"I was shocked when I heard that Your Majesty was unwell. I'm glad you're okay." Mu Zhong was acting like a good brother. He opened the food box and put it on the small table. "Your Majesty, please get up and have a taste. There's a new snack shop in the south of the city. This jujube paste cake is selling really well. I've always wanted to give it to Your Majesty to taste."

Jin Chen leaned over to take a look, holding his chin. He just drank the health-preserving soup and couldn't eat it anymore. He picked up a piece of it and rubbed his lips. He casually said, "Cousin, do you know Chu Qingqing, the daughter of the Shangshu Ling family?"

The news of the selection of Jinchen has spread all over the capital. Mu Zhongzheng came here today just to get the news, but he never thought that the little emperor would tell him first. He was surprised and asked, "We have met a few times before. Could it be that your majesty has taken a fancy to Miss Chu?"

"No, what's the use of it?" Jinchen tasted a strange taste and quickly put the date paste cake back and wiped the crumbs off his fingers.

"Hmm... this date paste cake tastes a bit strange, cousin, you should take it away."

Mu Zhongzheng frowned and glanced at the date paste cake that he put back, thinking it was strange.

There was nothing else in the date paste cake, because people were afraid that the regent would find out that the little emperor was not eating properly.

Fearing being framed, Mu Zhongzheng took a piece to taste, and asked, "What do you think is strange, Your Majesty?"

"It tastes terrible." Jinchen drank the tea and rinsed his mouth, then said seriously.

Mu Zhongzheng: "..."

In the tent where the Regent was resting, Han Zhou, who was supposed to be waiting for Mu Zhongzheng beside the carriage, appeared silently and knelt down to salute.

"master."

"What has Mu Zhongzheng done recently?"

Xie Zhiwei asked in a calm voice, lowering his eyes and playing with the jade beads in his hand, thinking that he would take a few to entertain the little emperor later.

"Reporting to my lord, the prince has been in close contact with officials from the Imperial Observatory in recent times and has met with three officials within a month." Han Zhou did not dare to hide anything.

Qin Tianjian.

Xie Zhiwei stopped playing with the jade beads. The two jade beads made a crisp collision sound, and Han Zhou lowered his head even more.

"He's a clever one."

When it comes to Xie Zhiwei becoming a powerful official, the one he dislikes the most is the Imperial Observatory, which was originally supposed to follow the will of the country and support Jinchen. He thinks that he is going against the will of heaven.

I just don't know... whether the little emperor is aware of the close contacts between Mu Zhongzheng and the Imperial Observatory.

"Keep watching, and report immediately if there is any news."

"Yes."

Xie Zhiwei's personal guard Dequan lifted the curtain and entered the tent, "Your Majesty, it seems that His Majesty and the Prince are arguing."

When Xie Zhiwei arrived, the guards were cleaning up the crumbs of pastries and broken porcelain pieces on the floor, and the little emperor was standing on the bed, throwing a tantrum.

He rarely, or even never, saw the little emperor so angry, which was quite interesting.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Xie Zhiwei ignored Mu Zhongzheng who was kneeling down to pay his respects, and walked straight to the bed, "If there is any blind person who offends you, you should be sentenced to death."

"Little uncle..."

Jinchen seemed to have found a backer. He didn't even care about not wearing shoes and socks. He hurriedly got out of bed and hid behind Jie Zhiwei, complaining.

"My cousin brought me some date paste cake from outside the palace, but I don't like it. He said... it was a good intention, but I felt uncomfortable after eating half a piece."

Hearing this, Dequan, who was guarding outside the tent, hurriedly asked the accompanying doctor Liu to come over.

Xie Zhiwei glanced coldly at Mu Zhongzheng who was kneeling on the ground, "And then?"

"Then... my cousin told me not to say anything nonsense, and said it would be bad if I attracted you." Jinchen wiped away the non-existent tears, looking very aggrieved.

Mu Zhongzheng: "..." What happened to the brotherly love that they agreed to jointly deal with the regent? What medicine did the little emperor take wrong today that he actually said anything to this dog official!

Xie Zhiwei just stood in front of Jinchen, looking down at the person kneeling on the ground. The coldness in her almond-shaped eyes was like that of a dormant beast.

"I remember that the prince had become a fifth-rank warrior years ago."

Mu Zhongzheng secretly gritted his teeth. No matter what, now was not the time to tear each other apart. He just said respectfully, "Yes, I'll trouble the Regent to remember it."

He dealt with it and looked at Jinchen for help. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Jin Chen then hugged Jie Zhiwei's arm, sighing that he had become much less sensitive, and then said, "Little uncle, maybe my cousin didn't mean it, so you should not punish him."

The intrigue is all yours, I have done nothing wrong.

Jinchen met Jie Zhiwei's gaze, concealing the teasing light in his eyes and smiling in a weak and gullible manner.
