Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 814: The Scheming Puppet Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 3

This place is remote, and far away from the prosperous capital. Looking back, even if they rode as fast as they could, day and night, it took them four days to get here. Now, the return journey has become even more difficult.

In the carriage, lying sick Shen Xi. He had been malnourished for a long time, and his body was weak. On the way through the ice and snow, he accidentally got frostbite in many places, and the wounds were difficult to heal in the cold environment.

Qi Zhi was a little worried, fearing that something might happen to him on his way back.

Therefore, on the return journey, Qi Zhi specifically instructed the driver to slow down and drive steadily, preferring to spend more time to ensure Shen Xi's safety.

Finally arriving at a busy market, Qi Zhi hurriedly took Shen Xi to find the best clinic in the city.

The doctor carefully examined Shen Xi's injuries and prescribed some good medicine to treat frostbite.

Afterwards, Qi Zhi took Shen Xi to the cloth shop and carefully selected some thick and warm new clothes, thinking that Shen Xi would be more comfortable and able to resist the cold.

"These fabrics are not very good. Your Highness, please be patient for a few days. When we arrive in the capital, I will ask the people in the palace to make new ones for you."

Shen Xi was wearing a thick white cloak and had a heater in his hands. When he heard Qi Zhi talking, he shifted his gaze from the scenery outside the window to his face.

"These clothes are much better than what I wore before. Thank you."

"It is my duty to do these things. Your Highness does not need to thank me."

Then the two of them had few opportunities to talk along the way, mainly because Qi Zhi stayed silent all the time. Shen Xi felt embarrassed to try to please someone who ignored him, so he tried to find topics to talk about everywhere.

So now I have time to ask him what his name is and how I should address him?

"You call me Your Highness, so what should I call you?"

Qi Zhi didn't seem to expect him to ask this. Originally, the two of them had no blood relationship, but Qi Zhi's title was there after all.

If Shen Xi wanted, he could call him anything.

If you ask Qi Zhi, he would feel a surge of evil interest in his heart.

"Although I am not from the same royal family as Your Highness, I was conferred the title of prince by the late emperor. If you really want to talk about it, Your Highness, you should call me the emperor's uncle."

"Uncle Emperor?"

Shen Xi repeated it again, Qi Zhi nodded and looked at him with a smile, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Ah."

Along the way, they walked and stopped frequently, and whenever they arrived at a larger town, they would rest so that Shen Xi could recuperate.

This slow journey lasted for eight days before they finally saw the towering city gate of the capital.

Without stopping, they came straight to the palace gate.

When the people standing at the palace gate saw Yu Yu in the lead, they immediately made way.

Yu Yu had been following Qi Zhi, so when people saw him, they knew that the person sitting in the carriage behind was Qi Zhi.

After entering the palace, the carriage stopped at a very prosperous palace.

Qi Zhi got off the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand to help Shen Xi down.

The moment I stepped into the palace gate, a cold wind blew in my face, carrying with it the majestic atmosphere unique to the palace.

Shen Xi subconsciously wrapped his cloak tightly around him and looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar palace.

"Uncle, this is..."

Qi Zhi looked at his nervous expression and didn't find it strange.

"This is your highness's future residence."

The palace gate was opened, and a row of maids and eunuchs stood in the yard.

Not surprisingly, these were all sent to serve Shen Xi.

However, those people did not show any respect to Shen Xi. Instead, they looked at Qi Zhi who was standing behind him with awe.

Qi Zhi ignored those people and took Shen Xi straight into the main hall.

"Your Highness will live here from now on. Those people outside the room are servants I selected for Your Highness. If you need anything done, just tell them directly."

After Qi Zhi finished speaking, he wanted to leave. After all, he still had to explain to those people in the court that Shen Xi had returned.

After he has learned etiquette for a few days, the succession ceremony can begin.

But before he could leave, Shen Xi grabbed his sleeve.

"Uncle, don't you live here with me?"

Qi Zhi did not feel very disgusted with his action. Instead, he felt a hint of joy inexplicably in his heart.

He turned around and squatted in front of Shen Xi, explaining to him: "This is your Highness's residence, and my residence is outside the palace."

"Is this so..."

Shen Xi's eyes were filled with unconcealed disappointment and fear of the unknown. He lowered his eyebrows and head deeply, as if he didn't want the person in front of him to see his current embarrassment.

Qi Zhi looked at him like this, and his hand seemed to be uncontrollably placed on Shen Xi's head.

He rubbed it gently to comfort her.

It is said that a man’s head is supreme and cannot be touched.

What's more, he is about to succeed the emperor.

But Qi Zhi didn't care about all that. After all, he was the one who had the final say on who owned the world.

"Your Highness, are you afraid of something?"

Shen Xi raised his head and tears started streaming down his eyes.

“I don’t know, I don’t know what to be afraid of, but I don’t want to be alone anymore.

I don't know if this is in accordance with the rules, but can I ask the emperor's uncle to stay with me?"

When Qi Zhi saw him like this, he actually felt a little moved.

He was silent for a long time, but ultimately did not agree.

“The servants outside all know your Highness’s identity, and they will not, nor dare to, do anything to your Highness.

I have something important to do now. If Your Highness needs anything, just call those people in and tell them."

After saying that, she ignored him, stood up and left the room.

The moment Shen Xi left the room, the grievance on his face disappeared.

'After so many days, why is there no progress at all?'

Just as I finished thinking, the system's prompt sounded: "Congratulations to the host for increasing the favorability of the main line target character by 5%. It is currently 5%. Please keep up the good work, host."

After Shen Xi heard his words, his eyes, which had originally dimmed, lit up again.

"It turns out that he is not completely incorrigible. I think I know the breaking point."
