Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 823: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 12

Shen Xi used Wangcai's golden finger and tapped the operation panel a few times. In the blink of an eye, he successfully transferred himself to the route that Li Zishi had to take to return.

At that time, the sunlight was dappled on the path in the forest, and Li Zishi was riding a tall horse, moving slowly along the road.

Suddenly, a dishevelled figure appeared in his sight, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the current Emperor Shen Xi.

When Li Zishi saw Shen Xi, he was visibly stunned. His eyes widened instantly, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and the reins in his hands tightened unconsciously.

"His Majesty!"

He cried out subconsciously, then quickly jumped off the horse and came to Shen Xi in a few steps. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on Shen Xi's scarred body, and his tone was just the right amount of surprise: "How could this be?"

In fact, Li Zishi did not have much real concern in his heart. The panic-stricken expression on his face was just a disguise. As a subject, on such occasions, he needed to express his concern for the injured emperor.

Shen Xi looked at Li Zishi with his eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of imperceptible mockery flashing in his eyes, like a cunning fox eyeing its prey.

He deliberately adjusted his breathing to make it sound weak and rapid, and then spoke weakly: "General Li, I accidentally fell off my horse while hunting, and had a hard time walking all the way here. Fortunately, you passed by here. It is really a blessing for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Zishi hurriedly said respectfully, "Your Majesty's health is of the utmost importance. I will escort Your Majesty back to the camp right away."

After saying this, he stretched out his hand and pretended to support Shen Xi.

Shen Xi blocked his hand without leaving a trace, still with a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and it was a superficial smile without a real smile.

He frowned slightly, as if enduring the pain, and spoke slowly: "My feet hurt a lot. Every step I take is excruciating. General Li, could you please let me ride your horse? I really can't hold on to walk back to the camp."

After hearing what he said, Li Zishi immediately stood up and prepared to go and get the horse.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my duty to share your worries."

He led the horse over and wanted to help him mount it.

But he only bent down for a while and didn't keep an eye on Shen Xi. When he looked up, Shen Xi had already mounted the horse.

Li Zishi looked at Shen Xi who was already sitting steadily on the horse's back. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and his face still had a respectful smile.

"Your Majesty is very agile, and even though he was injured, he still looks very graceful."

Shen Xi glanced at him with a half-smile, and coughed twice pretending to be weak, "General Li, thank you for your praise. I just don't want to delay my return to the camp any longer. The pain is really unbearable."

After saying that, he frowned slightly, held his injured right leg with his hand, and pretended to be in great pain.

Li Zishi took the reins and led the horse slowly towards the camp.

Wangcai was floating beside Shen Xi, his flashing electronic eyes full of confusion. He really couldn't understand why Shen Xi would carefully plan such a scene.

"Brother, is the new idea you are talking about about him?" Wangcai's voice was a little curious and was particularly clear in the silent space.

Shen Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Well, isn't it obvious? If it's not about him, why would I let you teleport to the path he must pass through?" His tone was as if he was saying something that was a matter of course.

Wangcai shook his head, still looking confused, "But why did you choose him? He is just an ordinary-looking minister. Is he worth all your efforts?"

Shen Xi sighed softly, as if he was lamenting Wangcai's innocence, or as if he was sorting out his thoughts. 'First of all, he is a spy from another country.' Shen Xi's voice was a little deeper, revealing an unquestionable certainty, 'But you also know that I don't have much real power now, and the situation in the court is complicated, so I can't take action against him directly.' He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a calmness and calculation that was inconsistent with his age, 'So I can only kill him with a borrowed knife and let him suffer the consequences.'

Shen Xi paused, and the image of Qi Zhi's daily appearance emerged in his mind. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, "Besides, he was promoted by Qi Zhi after all. Just think about it, the rose that you have worked so hard to raise was poached by someone else, and this person happened to be the subordinate you valued the most. This is a big blow to Qi Zhi."

There was a gleam in his eyes, as if he had seen the exciting situation that would follow. 'Isn't this effect more obvious than choosing someone else?'

Wangcai suddenly realized, and his electronic eyes flashed faster, "Brother, this trick of yours is really brilliant, killing two birds with one stone!"

This place is not far from the camp, so we will get there in a moment.

Besides, there is still a long time before the end of the hunt, so there are almost no people in the camp.

Only some servants and garrison troops remained here.

Of course, Qi Zhi is also included in this.

After arriving at the camp, Shen Xi met Qi Zhi's inquiring gaze as soon as he looked up.

However, he did not call him directly as he did in the past. Instead, he shifted his gaze and talked to Li Zishi beside him.

"Thank you so much General Xiao Li. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take for me to be discovered."

Shen Xi's tone was very gentle and his face was full of smiles.

Li Zishi had never seen such a Majesty before. Even just now, Shen Xi had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone.

Coupled with Shen Xi's good-looking face, this series of events made Li Zishi's ears blush.

"This is my duty."

"Thank you anyway."

Shen Xi looked at Li Zishi's appearance and started counting down in his mind.

'5, 4, 3...'

Before I finished counting, Qi Zhi's voice came over.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

His voice came from far away and gradually approached, as if he was walking towards this side quickly while speaking.

Almost as soon as he reached them, Qi Zhi stepped forward and took away the reins.

Qi Zhi's movements were quick and decisive. After taking the reins from Li Zishi, he looked at Shen Xi with concern, his brows knitted tightly into the shape of a "川" character, his eyes full of heartache and worry: "Your Majesty, how are you injured?"

As he spoke, his hand unconsciously wanted to check Shen Xi's injuries, but he moved very carefully, for fear of hurting the other person.

Before Shen Xi opened his mouth, Li Zishi spoke impatiently, as if to take credit.

"When I saw Your Majesty, he was already injured and was sitting under a tree to rest.

Then I will immediately..."

"I am asking your majesty."
