Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

Jinchen is still vigorously tracking down the real culprit who attempted to harm the Regent, and Mu Zhongzheng, who learned that the news was exposed, cursed him countless times in secret.

Mu Zhongzheng originally thought that this was a good way to kill Jie Zhiwei without hurting the little emperor, but Yun Xiao was too clumsy and Jie Zhiwei could see through such a good opportunity.

And Jinchen's attitude also made Mu Zhongzheng feel that it might not be a bad thing for him to save the little emperor's life.

But he was still anxious. He was trying his best to win over all the ministers in the court. The only thing left was to force Jie Zhiwei to step down, but this step was also the most difficult.

Mu Chongzheng will not be able to rest easy until Xie Zhiwei is killed.

In the palace, Jinchen took advantage of the bloodletting to recuperate in Bihua Palace for several days, waiting for a letter from Chu Qingqing who was out on an investigation.

Chu Qingqing has already found some clues about the medicine and asks Jinchen whether he should return to the palace to report now.

Jinchen thought it over again and again, and wrote back, asking her to go directly to the Jiangnan Palace to wait.

Three days later, a huge group of people followed the emperor's sedan to the Jiangnan Palace to escape the summer heat.

It goes without saying that the princes and governors, important ministers and their families, and the regent Jie Zhiwei would accompany him. But what made the palace people talk about the most this year was that the emperor even brought the favored Yu Guishi with him.

You know, there are rumors that Miss Chu, the future queen who is traveling to Jiangnan, is also waiting in the palace.

As soon as the large group left, there was a wave of speculation in the palace about who would be the most favored in the end. However, no matter who was favored, the one who would be the most jealous would be the high and mighty Regent Xie Zhiwei.

On the day of arriving at the palace, the main group went to settle down first, while Jinchen and Jie Zhiwei went to the residence of the Jiangnan prefect first.

The prefect was a man who was used to reading people's cues and acting accordingly. He had long heard rumors in the imperial city that the current regent was the real master of the Dajin Kingdom. He had been appointed prefect by Jie Zhiwei in his early years, so of course he had a preconceived notion and did not take the young emperor, who had not yet reached adulthood, seriously.

But he thought so in his heart, and he did enough to save face, but his contempt could still be seen in the details.

For example, the bowl of aged tea in Jinchen's hand.

Jinchen glanced at the prefect who was only talking to Jie Zhiwei. The man did see it, but he looked away with contempt, as if the person sitting in the seat was not the emperor of Dajin Kingdom, but some insignificant puppet.

Jinchen understood what was going on. He interrupted their conversation with a light cough and the teacup was suddenly thrown on the table.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Xie Zhiwei asked hurriedly. It had been a long time since he saw Jinchen's emotions fluctuate so much.

"Could it be that the court has treated Prefect Song harshly over the years? That's why the tea they serve is sour."

Jin Chen was really good at pretending to be young. He smashed the cup of tea immediately and angrily pulled Jie Zhiwei to complain, "Little uncle, I want to go back to the palace!"

Xie Zhiwei raised her eyebrows, handed her cup to Jinchen first, and coaxed him to drink it with a smile.

Then he looked at the frightened Prefect Song coldly and said, "You are so brave that you dare to fool His Majesty."

"This..." Prefect Song was speechless. His body moved faster than his brain and he knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

How come this is different from the rumors in the imperial city now? Isn't it said that the regent and the growing little emperor are incompatible and both want to fight for power?

And it was indeed like this in the early years! How come the relationship suddenly became so good?

He didn't have time to think about it, he just knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down. How dare I fool your majesty! It must be that the servants didn't do their job well..."

"Who is the one who is not doing his job properly? Why don't you tell me, Prefect Song, and I will help you clean up the mess today and kill that servant."

Xie Zhiwei looked at him slowly, his eyes full of anger at Prefect Song for his contempt for the emperor.

Prefect Song: “…”

Fortunately, Jinchen showed his understanding at the right time. He took Jie Zhiwei's arm and said that he didn't need to care about what happened today, but he had to go back to the palace to rest immediately and go for a walk on the street.

It can be said to be a very childish request.

But Jinchen clearly saw the lingering joy and anticipation on Jie Zhiwei's face when he said that he wanted to go strolling on the street with Jie Zhiwei.

Prefect Song once again had no tact to stop them and insisted on keeping the two masters in his house for dinner.

Xie Zhiwei still kept him around for a while. It was said that the last clue to the medicine was in Jiangnan, and Prefect Song was most familiar with Jiangnan.

No matter how much she resented and hated him, Xie Zhiwei could only coax Jinchen to stay for lunch.

Even during lunch, Prefect Song's family members were also there, but no one had the courage to speak to liven up the atmosphere.

Jinchen was in no mood for dinner, especially after he learned that Jie Zhiwei was going to talk with Prefect Song in the study. His dissatisfaction escalated into extreme dissatisfaction.

Jinchen was fiddling with the chess pieces while secretly wondering.

Prefect Song has not left Jiangnan for decades. How could he have anything to say to Jie Zhiwei? When will that cold-blooded beauty of his do anything to sympathize with the people?

While Jinchen was thinking, a hand took the black piece and placed it on the chessboard that Jinchen had just set up for his own entertainment.

Jin Chen looked in the direction of the hand. The young man in white who had not appeared at the banquet just now smiled at him, stepped back half a step and saluted, "I greet your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

"Who are you?" Jinchen asked after dropping the white piece. The chessboard was originally arranged randomly. The black piece that was dropped just now blocked the white piece's path. The game had become a dead end.

"My name is Song Yanwen, and I am the prefect's... second son."

When talking about his identity, there was an obvious hint of hesitation and inferiority in Song Yanwen's eyes.

Jinchen saw it, but was not very interested.

"Your Majesty, my father is discussing matters with the prince. Let me play another game with you." Song Yanwen looked at Jinchen with some anticipation.

Jinchen: “No need.”

Cold beauty is very jealous! I'm so scared!
