Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 836: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 25

I don’t know how long it took, but a familiar voice came from afar. It was the palace guards who finally arrived.

Shen Xi paced anxiously by the side, his eyes fixed on the imperial doctors' every move. Every slight change in their expressions touched his heart.

"Your Majesty, Lord Qi's injuries are too severe. The sword pierced his lungs. The situation is critical and we must stop the bleeding as soon as possible." The leading imperial physician was sweating profusely, and there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Shen Xi clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into his palms: "No matter what method you use, you must cure the emperor's uncle, otherwise you will not live!"

The imperial doctors did not dare to slack off and carefully treated Qi Zhi's wounds. Time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed extremely long.

Finally, the imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, the bleeding has stopped temporarily, but Lord Qi is still in danger and needs careful care."

Shen Xi looked at Qi Zhi, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

He stroked Qi Zhi's cheek with trembling hands.

"Uncle, don't worry, they won't survive."

Shen Xi suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, turned around and walked out of the palace. His eyes were filled with unprecedented fierceness, and he walked out of the palace with firm steps.

At his command, the Imperial Guards quickly assembled and followed him straight to Zhou Chongli's mansion.

At this time, Zhou Chongli was still dreaming in his mansion, unaware that danger had already arrived.

After Shen Xi arrived at Zhou Mansion, he kicked the door open and rushed in like a tide with the Imperial Guards.

The servants of Zhou's mansion were frightened by this sudden scene and didn't know what to do. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Zhou Chongli, get out here!" Shen Xi's angry roar echoed throughout the mansion.

Zhou Chongli then hurried out of the room, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, what...what does this mean?" Zhou Chongli asked tremblingly.

Shen Xi walked towards him step by step, each step seemed to carry a great force. "You ask even though you know the answer! You sent someone to assassinate me and my uncle, your crime is extremely heinous, today is the day you die!"

Zhou Chongli still wanted to argue, but Shen Xi didn't give him a chance. He waved his hand and said, "Search for me! Find all the evidence of his collusion with foreign enemies!"

The Imperial Guards acted quickly, searching every corner of the Zhou mansion.

Soon, all the secret letters and tokens of treason were presented to Shen Xi one by one.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Shen Xi glared at him.

Zhou Chongli knew that the situation was hopeless, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was confused for a moment..."

"Come here, take him to the prison."

After returning to the palace, Shen Xi went back to see Qi Zhi first and found that there was still no sign of him waking up.

Then he went to the Heavenly Prison.

Shen Xi sat on a chair and looked at Zhou Chongli who was tied to the cross in front of him, his eyes full of coldness.

"Do you really think that I don't know what you did before? I just thought that if I suddenly move you, it would alert the enemy, so I kept you until now.

How dare you do that?"

When Shen Xi said this, he suddenly stood up and, as fast as lightning, reached out and pulled out the sword from the waist of the guard standing next to him.

The guard was startled slightly by this sudden action, but did not dare to make any sound.

Shen Xi did not hesitate at all. He took a step forward, and the sharp sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and stabbed straight into Zhou Chongli's shoulder.

"Ah!" Zhou Chongli let out a shrill scream and struggled desperately because of the severe pain, but he was tied to the cross and could not move at all.

"He was hurt by you!" Shen Xi gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead, and every word was filled with endless anger. "Now, you'd better tell me the truth. How many people in this court are the same as you and are in cahoots with you?"

However, Zhou Chongli was still hoping for the best and continued to lie to get away with it. He showed a painful expression on his face, but pretended to be calm and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please understand. I am really wronged. I have never had any accomplices. I don't know what your Majesty is talking about. Someone must have deliberately framed me..."

As he spoke, he secretly looked up to observe Shen Xi's expression, trying to find a hint of relaxation from Shen Xi's face.

Shen Xi was so angry that he laughed. There was no warmth in his laughter, but instead it was chilling to the bone. It echoed in the gloomy prison and made people shudder.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will find out anyway." His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but with unquestionable certainty.

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand slowly turned the hilt of the sword, and the sharp blade stirred wildly in Zhou Chongli's wound.

"what--"

Zhou Chongli screamed like a pig being slaughtered again, the sound echoing in the small cell. He was in so much pain that he almost fainted. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and wet the straw beneath him.

"I have plenty of time and means. Do you think you can handle it?" Shen Xi looked at Zhou Chongli coldly, his eyes full of disdain. "Do you think your little tricks can be concealed from the world?"

Shen Xi stopped what he was doing, drew out his sword, and let the blood drip from the tip of the sword, gathering into a small pool on the ground.

He turned around, took a piece of white cloth from the guard, and slowly wiped the blood off the sword, wiping each time very carefully, as if he was performing a solemn ceremony.

"From today on, without my order, you are not allowed to feed him anything, and don't let him go. Just tie him up here.

Every half hour, sprinkle salt on his wounds.

Oh, and be sure to ask the imperial physician to come and watch over him, don’t let him die.”

Shen Xi casually threw the clean sword to the guard, walked up to Zhou Chongli again, and crossed his arms across his chest.

"Don't worry, I will only torture you and won't let you die so easily."

After returning to the palace, Shen Xi stayed with Qi Zhi.

"Don't worry, brother. The main target is not seriously injured. He will wake up after a few days of rest."

'Well, can you find out where Qi Zhi's secret guards are?'

When Wangcai saw the relaxed expression on his face, he was also genuinely happy in his heart, but he really didn't understand what he meant by saying this.

"Sure, but what do you want to do with his secret guards? If you want to investigate Zhou Chongli's followers or the countries he's colluding with, I can help you find out."

"They don't know you exist, but they do know Qi's secret guards. The news can only be brought out to convince the public if it comes from his secret guards. If it comes from you, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring it out at all."

Wangcai nodded and pointed to the roof.

"No need to check. Ever since the main target person got into trouble, his secret guards have been guarding him nearby."

Shen Xi looked up in the direction Wangcai pointed, and saw a few dark shadows flash by on the roof.

"Come out." Shen Xi said loudly, his voice echoing in the quiet bedroom.

A moment later, several dark figures floated down from the roof like ghosts, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Shen Xi looked at the people in front of him, the leader of which was Yu Yu.

"Go check Zhou Chongli's interpersonal relationships and those who colluded with him in treason."

"Yes."

Qi Zhi's secret guards all knew the relationship between the two of them, otherwise they would not have obeyed Shen Xi's orders.

After leaving, Yu Yu looked back at Shen Xi who was sitting beside the bed, and thought of what he had seen in the sky prison.

"It seems that His Majesty is not as weak as the master thought."
