Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 813: The Scheming Puppet Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 2

Wanting to take Shen Xi back, Qi Zhi didn't intend to hide it. He looked calm, emitting a steady aura. He slowly opened his mouth and directly told him Shen Xi's identity.

Although his tone was gentle, like the breeze on a spring day, and every word was wrapped in tenderness, there was an unquestionable strength in his bones. His eyes were so firm that it seemed to say that his words were an established fact and there was no room for rebuttal.

"how can that be possible?"

Shen Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notches.

It's not his fault. After all, anyone who sees him will see that he now lives in this simple, small, run-down house. The clothes he wears are tattered and patched up. He doesn't seem to be a royal relative at all, let alone the only son of the current emperor.

"How is it impossible? If the master says you are you, then you are it. Why waste so much time talking?" A voice suddenly interrupted.

Shen Xi subconsciously looked up, trying to see where the voice came from, and what he saw was a familiar face.

"Yu Yu, he dared to say this in front of me. Oh, it seems that they are preparing to play the good cop and the bad cop." Shen Xi thought to himself.

As expected, the next second Qi Zhi pretended to be angry and shouted at Yu Yu behind him: "Shut up! How can you be so rude to His Highness and speak so presumptuously!"

After yelling, Qi Zhi quickly adjusted his expression, stretched out his hand again, palm up, and lowered his posture very low. With a sincere expression on his face, he said: "Please believe us. Everything we say is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. I hope Your Highness will go back with us and don't delay any further."

Shen Xi frowned, his eyes shifting back and forth between Qi Zhi and Yu Yu, his heart was like a surging wave, difficult to calm down.

He subconsciously took a step back, his hands unconsciously clenching the corners of his clothes, and the tattered cloth became more wrinkled under his fingertips.

Qi Zhi's patience was a little exhausted, and he didn't want to play the game of king and subject with the young man in front of him anymore.

He directly stretched out his hand forcefully and pulled the person in front of him.

"If you don't leave now, the mainland will be blocked by snow and it will be difficult for Your Highness to leave."

Then, without waiting for his answer, he pulled the man away.

The strength in his hands was quite strong, leaving a deep red mark on the not-so-delicate skin of Shen Xi's hands.

Qi Zhi's legs were also much longer than his, and he walked faster, more than one or two times as fast as him.

In order to keep up with him, Shen Xi had to speed up his pace. At first he walked fast, but later he found that he could not keep up with him even if he walked fast, so he had to run.

The house where Shen Xi lived was in a very narrow alley, and Qi Zhi's carriage and the horses his followers rode could not get in.

So to reach the distance of the carriage, they had to cross an entire alley, about two or three hundred meters.

Qi Zhi and his group were dressed warmly, so they wouldn't feel cold.

Shen Xi was different. His thin linen clothes were torn by the cold wind.

It would be strange if he felt good, especially since he was wearing extremely rough straw sandals. Running on the snow made his feet red and swollen from the cold.

In addition, the straw sandals were very uncomfortable to wear, so his feet were left with several bloody marks.

Before he even walked out of the alley, Shen Xi could no longer hold on.

"Wait...can you walk slower? My feet hurt."

Shen Xi slowed down his pace and yelled at the person who was pulling him.

After hearing his voice, Qi Zhi turned around and looked at him.

Only then did he notice that Shen Xi's body and feet had been blown into a mess by the cold wind.

Ever since he entered the military camp at the age of 15 and worked his way up to his current position step by step, his heart has long been frozen in ice.

After seeing this scene, he felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I didn't notice it."

Although the tone at this time was as gentle as the one in the house, Shen Xi could hear that it was different.

If this gentle tone was pretended out of guilt, then the gentle tone in the room was completely against his true heart.

Qi Zhi squatted down and picked the man up by the waist.

It would have been fine if he hadn't hugged me, this hug was even more incredible.

A 14-year-old boy, about 1 meters tall.

But he was so light that Qi Zhi even had the illusion that he could lift him up with one hand.

He held the man in his arms, and when he caught a glimpse of his feet out of the corner of his eye, he felt inexplicably irritated.

Qi Zhi reached out and took off the straw sandals on Shen Xi's feet and threw them aside, then used his cloak to cover the person in his arms slightly to make him less cold.

Shen Xi was a little confused by this sudden action. He subconsciously grabbed Qi Zhi's sleeve, with pain and grievance still on his face.

"I'm sorry, your highness."

Qi Zhi said in a low voice, holding Shen Xi and quickening his pace.

At this moment, the biting cold wind blew like a knife, but Qi Zhi didn't care at all. All his thoughts were on the thin boy in his arms.

His arms were warm, in stark contrast to the chilly wind just now.

But Shen Xi will take revenge one day.

'I'm giving you face, you treat me like this.'

This is extremely rare, two people had physical contact when they first met, but their affection for each other did not increase at all.

"It seems that this world is quite difficult."

That's not just not low, it's a complete disaster.

Qi Zhi is moody and has only power struggles in his heart. Even when he brings Shen Xi back, he is just using him like a chess piece.

The things he experienced since childhood closed his inner emotions. He only yearned for power and had no interest in love affairs.

Even her gentleness towards Shen Xi was just a pretense because she thought the game of ruler and subject was interesting.

Wangcai was watching from the side, feeling extremely sorry for his brother.

Soon, they arrived at the carriage. Yu Yu had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Qi Zhi carrying Shen Xi over, he hurried forward to open the door.

Qi Zhi carried Shen Xi into the car. There were thick blankets and heaters in the car, but Shen Xi's body still couldn't stop shaking.

"Hurry, bring some hot water and clean clothes." Qi Zhi shouted to his followers.

The attendants acted quickly, and soon hot water and clothes were delivered to the car.

Qi Zhi first helped Shen Xi drink a few sips of hot water, then gently took off the thin and worn linen shirt on him. Perhaps because of his guilt for what he had just done, his movements were a little gentle.

"Your Highness has been offended."

"No, thank you."

When Qi Zhi heard him thanking him, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

"If I hadn't dragged you through the ice and snow, you wouldn't have done this. I've hurt you so much, and you just said thank you for being nice to you. How stupid of you to do that."

But he did like Shen Xi to be not so smart. After all, a dumber puppet was easier to control, and an easy-to-control puppet would please the master.

But then again, if Qi Zhi hadn't come to take Shen Xi away, there would only be the shabby house he lived in, the tattered things he wore, and the wooden jars that were filled with grain that had long been empty.

How could he survive this winter with heavy snow and blocked mountains just relying on these?

Shen Xi looked at him and laughed at himself, as if he understood something from his smile.

'Mostly to laugh at my stupidity.'

But Shen Xi thought again, if he came to pick him up later, it would soon be night, and he would feel even more uncomfortable because of the cold.

Considering that he came so quickly, and that he felt a little bit of guilt in his heart, just forgive him a little.

It's just a little bit. After all, this matter is not so easy to turn the page.
