Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 837: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 26

Yu Yu and his men quickly hid in the night. Relying on the intelligence network accumulated over the years and excellent tracking ability, they began to conduct a carpet investigation of Zhou Chongli's interpersonal relationships.

They shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital, contacting all kinds of spies and not missing any clues.

At the same time, Shen Xi still stayed by Qi Zhi's bedside, not leaving his side. He looked at Qi Zhi's pale face, his heart full of worry and guilt.

If it weren't for my negligence, my uncle wouldn't have been seriously injured in protecting me.

I don't know how much time has passed, Shen Xi is still guarding beside Qi Zhi's bed. It is obviously very late and he is very sleepy, but he dare not close his eyes for a moment and stares at Qi Zhi's face.

Suddenly, Qi Zhi's fingers moved slightly, and Shen Xi straightened his back instantly, his eyes full of surprise and expectation. He stared at Qi Zhi intently, not daring to breathe.

Qi Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were a little blurry, as if he was not fully awake yet, and it took him a while to focus on Shen Xi's face.

"Xixi..." Qi Zhi's voice was weak and hoarse, as if he had not spoken for a long time.

Shen Xi's eyes were hot, and he excitedly held Qi Zhi's hand, his voice choking with sobs: "Uncle, you are finally awake. Do you know how worried I am about you?"

The guilt and worry in Shen Xi's heart were completely released at this moment. He unconsciously exerted force with his hands, as if he wanted to embed Qi Zhi's hand into his palm.

Qi Zhi forced a weak smile, wanting to comfort Shen Xi, but he frowned slightly because of the pain from his wound.

When Shen Xi saw him like this, he came to his senses and immediately asked someone to invite the imperial physician over.

The imperial physician came hurriedly, and after a careful examination, he breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Shen Xi: "Your Majesty, Lord Qi's injuries have not worsened. Now that he has woken up, as long as he is well nursed back to health, he will surely recover in time." Upon hearing this, Shen Xi's heart was finally at ease, and he waved his hand for the imperial physician to leave.

Qi Zhi gently patted Shen Xi's hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry too much.

"It's really okay. I haven't seen you for several days. Come over here and let me see you."

After hearing his joke, Shen Xi finally smiled.

"Then you should take a good look at it."

Now that he had just woken up and was still rather weak, Shen Xi had no intention of talking to him about Zhou Chongli.

He kept asking him to rest quickly.

Qi Zhi looked at the little emperor in front of him who cared about him so much, and an uncontrollable look of happiness appeared on his face.

"it is good."

The next day, Shen Xi returned to his bedroom right after court.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qi Zhi sitting on the bed with his coat on, reading a book. His hair was not combed and hung long to his waist. Due to his injury, his face was pale and sickly. From a distance, he looked like a frail beauty.

Shen Xi hadn't seen him like this for a long time.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qi Zhi put down the book in his hand, but when he turned around, he saw Shen Xi looking at him in a daze.

"Xixi?"

Hearing his call, Shen Xi slowly came back to his senses.

He quickly came to Qi Zhi's side.

"feel better now?"

"Much better, Xixi, don't worry. By the way, have those who attacked us found the mastermind behind it?"

"It was Zhou Chongli, but who was the mastermind behind it and who else in the court was in cahoots with him? These have not been investigated yet."

Shen Xi frowned slightly, sat down beside the bed, held Qi Zhi's hand and said, "Uncle, you just woke up and your body is not fully recovered yet. Don't worry about these things. I will take care of it."

"Well, I'm naturally relieved."

It was late at night. Qi Zhi looked at Shen Xi who was sleeping beside him. Instead of waking him up, he quietly left the bed.

Wearing only an outer coat, he came to the yard outside the house.

With just a snap of his fingers, a man in black jumped down from the roof.

"Lord."

Yu Yu was not surprised that he had woken up. After all, he had been busy investigating the case these days and had not been here to guard him.

But there will also be other secret guards waiting here. Yu Yu’s status among the secret guards is not low, he is almost like a boss.

Therefore, other secret guards would tell him immediately when they obtained certain information.

"Xixi asked you to investigate a case a few days ago?"

"Yes, His Majesty is always worried about you, so he asked his subordinates to help investigate the case of Zhou Chongli forming a clique for personal gain."

After hearing what he said, a happy expression appeared on Qi Zhi's face.

"Xixi only has me in his heart, so he's naturally worried about me. So, have you found out anything?"

He knelt on one knee and presented a densely packed list and a stack of letters.

Qi Zhi flipped through the pages quickly.

The list included not only many important officials in the court, but also generals in charge of the defense of the capital.

The letters recorded in detail their plan to collude with Zhou Chongli and the terms of negotiating with foreign enemies to divide the country.

Yu Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "My Lord, we have also discovered that they plan to launch a coup while you are seriously injured. They will take advantage of the chaos in the court to seize power in one fell swoop."

Qi Zhi closed the document and handed it back to him.

"Just pretend that I don't know about these things. Report them to Xixi again tomorrow."

"Yes."

The next day, Yu Yu hurried over and, as agreed, reported to Shen Xi in detail the results of his investigation over the past few days.

He unfolded the document in his hand that was densely packed with intelligence and showed it to Shen Xi one by one.

Shen Xi's eyes followed Yu Yu's fingers, his expression became more serious, his brows knitted tightly, and he couldn't help but mutter, "It's so serious."

At this time, Qi Zhi gently hugged Shen Xi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, from behind. His arms were warm and powerful, as if they could give Shen Xi endless strength.

Qi Zhi raised his eyes and gave a wink to Yu Yu who was standing in front of them. Yu Yu understood and immediately bowed respectfully, then quietly retreated, leaving this space to Shen Xi and Qi Zhi.

"Xixi, don't be upset," Qi Zhi said softly, his voice like a spring breeze, gently soothing Shen Xi's anxious heart, "After all, those things are only in the planning stage and have not been truly implemented, so we still have a chance to save the situation."

Qi Zhi tightened his arms slightly, rested his chin lightly on Shen Xi's shoulder, and continued, "At this moment, both internal and external troubles are so serious, we might as well start with the internal troubles.

Zhou Chongli has been thrown into prison by you, this action must have alerted the enemy. Those accomplices who originally thought they were hiding in the dark will definitely take action.

In my opinion, we should just announce that I am still unconscious."

Qi Zhi's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Once they determine that I have not yet awakened, they will think that there is an opportunity and will most likely carry out the conspiracy as planned.

At this time, you should send people to strictly guard the imperial city, strengthen vigilance, and pay close attention to the movements of all parties. In this way, there will be hope of resolving the internal troubles. "

Shen Xi listened carefully, nodded slightly from time to time, and admired Qi Zhi's strategy. Qi Zhi paused for a moment, adjusted his breathing, and then said: "As for foreign invasion, it is not completely impossible. Others think that our Xia country is easy to bully, but they forget that our country has been prosperous in recent years, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.

This is enough to prove that our treasury is full, our army is strong, and we are not afraid of foreign invasion at all.

If they want to fight, then let them come. By then, my health will have recovered enough, and I will lead the troops myself."

Shen Xi nodded.

"Ah."
