Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

When Jinchen talked about male homosexuality at Changyue Pavilion that day, he originally wanted to tell Jie Zhiwei through the mouth of Tianyinwei, but he didn't expect that Mu Zhongzheng had kept this matter in mind.

He attended the morning court that day, which was a rare occasion. When he was heading to the imperial study with Jie Zhiwei, he saw Gao Kun, with a complicated expression, leading two exquisite and lovely young men over.

"Your Majesty, this is the person the prince said you wanted, and he has brought it to you."

Jin Chen was stunned, "Who do I want?"

Yu Huayao stepped forward to pay his respects, and seemed to have recovered from all his illnesses. His lotus-pink robe made him look lively and obedient. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. That night we parted in the Imperial Garden... Afterwards, the Prince said that you wanted me to serve you in the palace. I am truly honored."

Jinchen: “…” So you’re waiting here!

The young man in blue behind Yu Huayao was more reserved. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Jinchen tried his best to ignore the murderous gaze beside him and asked, "Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, my name is Yun Xiao, and I am the second son of the Minister of the Honglu Temple."

Wow, the first-rank Taifu and the fourth-rank Honglu Temple Minister, Mu Zhongzheng’s speed is really fast.

Just as Jinchen was about to speak, he heard Jie Zhiwei's scolding voice.

"How dare you! The palace has strict rules and regulations, but the prince is unruly. As the sons of ministers, you are using the same tactics outside the palace on His Majesty!"

Yun Xiao's face turned pale, and he dared not to do it again.

But Yu Huayao had been spoiled since he was a child. Even though he was afraid of the Regent, he still remembered his father's instructions and immediately looked at Jinchen pitifully.

"Your Majesty... I don't know what I did wrong to cause His Majesty to be so angry."

Seeing that he dared to flirt with Jinchen to win his favor, Xie Zhiwei was overwhelmed by the jealousy and murderous intent in his heart, "Do I need a reason to teach you a lesson? His Majesty has not yet appointed a queen, how dare you lead him astray!"

"Little uncle." Jin Chen interrupted him unexpectedly, his face a little gloomy, "I am the one who likes men. If you say so, you want to punish me as well."

Xie Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, "That's not what I meant."

But is His Majesty trying to help this man out? He bit the tip of his tongue, and when he felt the pain, he said softly, "Your Majesty, this will definitely have a bad influence."

"You listen to me. Once the queen is established, it won't be too late to let the concubine enter the palace to serve."

Xie Zhiwei pretended to be calm. God knows how hard he had to try to suppress the sticky and cold sour feeling in his heart that was like a snake circling a pillar. A hint of grievance unconsciously appeared in his gorgeous and cold eyes.

Jin Chen's heart softened a little, he lowered his eyes and smiled softly, "It's okay, since he was sent by my cousin and he's the son of a minister, it would be a bad influence to send him out of the palace."

"I grant you both the position of honorable attendant. Since you two know each other, you can live together in Yangyun Palace."

Yu Huayao was so excited that he thought His Majesty had helped him out, and his joy became even stronger after hearing this. He said crisply, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yun Xiao became more cautious. He glanced carefully at the Regent's gloomy face, and respectfully accepted the order in a low voice, not daring to show his happiness.

Looking at the backs of the two young men who were taken to the harem by Gao Kun, Xie Zhiwei took a deep breath, and pinched his palms with his fingertips before he could barely resist the urge to execute them directly.

"Little Emperor Uncle."

Jinchen called him softly, "Aren't you going to the imperial study?"

Xie Zhiwei gently stroked the four-clawed golden python embroidery on his sleeve and whispered, "Your Majesty has become increasingly disobedient recently."

"Little uncle, I am twenty years old this year."

Xie Zhiwei: “…”

Yes, as I reach adulthood, I have lost the fragility and fear I once had.

Such an imperial and heroic demeanor must have secretly attracted many admiring ladies and gentlemen.

"Let's go," Jinchen suddenly took his hand, and his tone softened for some reason, "No matter how old I am, you are my most important elder."

elder.

elder……

Xie Zhiwei suddenly lost his temper and let Jinchen drag him to the imperial study. He did not show any sign of the despair in his heart or the last layer of his barrier that was about to be torn apart.

"The Imperial uncle is much older than me. Don't you have someone you like by your side?" Seeing that they were almost at the imperial study, Jin Chen suddenly asked the beautiful prince who was holding his hand, trying his best to break the last thing in his heart.

Xie Zhiwei frowned at first and remained silent for a long time.

When he was young, his mind was filled with only trying to survive and climb up. Later, he mastered a unique martial art and gained a foothold in this imperial city where people's hearts were like hell. Under the influence of his martial art, he became even more pure-hearted and had never felt anything.

Except that night...

Xie Zhiwei's fingers curled up when they were tightly grasped by Jin Chen, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty...is not in a position to have a crush on someone."

"Too."

Jin Chen did not doubt him. He paused when he entered the imperial study, raised his hand and brushed away the fallen flowers on Jie Zhiwei's shoulder. "No matter what happened in the past, little uncle, I have never hated you."

"I was just young... too scared."

Xie Zhiwei's heart moved slightly, inexplicably aroused by these words, and his cold and sour eyes gradually became warm. He gently stroked Jinchen's face, "It's my fault. You are right to be afraid."

"I hope you don't hate me..."

The last sentence sounded very close to a whisper. Xie Zhiwei knew that it was already a rare achievement for Jinchen not to hate him.

How about...love?

As the regent, he is not even as good as those vixen taken into the harem. At least he can stick to Jinchen every night and not leave.

-

That night.

Xie Zhiwei, wearing a thin middle-length dress, sat alone in the yard. The luxurious courtyard was accompanied only by the lonely moonlight, and it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of one's feet falling to the ground.

Not long after, Tianyinwei came back from the palace with a message.

"My Lord, the Emperor summoned my noble servant to the Bihua Palace tonight and she has not come out all night."

thump—

The wine glass in Xie Zhiwei's hand fell, he clenched his fist, and raised his hand to signal the Tianyin Guards to leave.

He just sat quietly under the moonlight, his hair hanging down, and when blown by the wind, his gorgeous face, as cold as a ghost, was revealed. At this moment, it was also stained with a bit of paleness, and there was a kind of tired and cold feeling in the hazy moonlight.

"Yu Huayao..."

Xie Zhiwei lowered his eyebrows slightly, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes were gradually filled with murderous gloom, "Very good."

"Dark research."

A dark shadow appeared in the yard, like a ghost.

"Call Han Zhou back. I have something to ask him."

"Yes."

Even without investigation, Xie Zhiwei knew that Yu Huayao was the person sent into the harem by Mu Zhongzheng. She originally wanted to keep the moved Han Zhou by his side for a while longer, and then destroy Mu Zhongzheng after collecting more things.

But now, he couldn't wait to lose something.
