Quick Travel: The paranoid villain acts like a baby in my arms

Chapter 38 The Regent fulfills his duties 03

His father once said that he should not show his face easily, otherwise it will easily lead to trouble.

Such an incident happened last year in Yan State, which is currently barely able to compete with Wei State.

Xie Ji, the prodigy who took the imperial examination of Yan State last year, was handsome and attracted the attention of the king of Yan State at the banquet.

The other party ignored Xie Ji's pleading and insisted on including the person into the harem.

Because Xie Ji's mother was threatening him, Xie Ji had to agree.

People who have met Xie Ji all say that he is a shining figure. He comes from a poor family but has a heart to serve the country. However, the irony is that his wings were cut off by the monarch.

Xu Qinyu was worried that he would follow Xie Ji's old path.

But it's not very likely. He has plenty of ways to escape, but what happens next?

Retreat to the mountains and forests? Never see anyone again for the rest of your life? That's not the life he wants.

Wei Chengjing saw that Xu Qinyu was silent, so he must be thinking about it.

He didn't want to embarrass Xu Qinyu, and it wouldn't be too late for Xu Qinyu to have a good impression of him in the future.

Lest he sees Xu Qinyu's face now, and when he expresses his affection for Xu Qinyu in the future, Xu Qinyu will think that he only likes his face.

So Wei Chengjing took the initiative and said: "Eating is a matter of enjoyment. I don't want to embarrass the prince. Let's do this. I have no appetite. I will eat inside and the prince will eat here, okay?"

The emperor took the initiative to give in. Xu Qinyu felt that it was not good, but this was a better way.

He thought about it and finally came up with only two words: "Thank you."

Wei Chengjing asked the eunuchs and maids to retreat and closed the door. After he made himself a portion of porridge, he carried the porridge to the inner room.

Xu Qinyu looked at Wei Chengjing's leaving figure, feeling very complicated.

The king of a country is so tolerant, why did he agree just now?

He should just resign.

Now that Wei Chengjing has taken the initiative to give in, she is probably even more dissatisfied with him.

If he calls Wei Chengjing back now, he won't be able to eat.

Forget it.

Xu Qinyu struggled for a while, then broke the jar, took off his mask, and picked up the porridge Wei Chengjing made for him.

He took a sip and it tasted pretty good. He felt his body warm up after drinking it.

Worried that Wei Chengjing would come out at any time, Xu Qinyu had to eat unsteadily and had to pay attention to Wei Chengjing's movements.

He only drank a bowl of porridge and stopped eating after a few bites of side dishes.

After eating, Xu Qinyu put on the mask again, stood up and called Wei Chengjing.

"Your Majesty, I've eaten enough. Your Majesty, please take your time. I'll take my leave first."

Wei Chengjing walked out of the inner room after hearing this. He glanced at the food on the table. Xu Qinyu basically didn't eat anything.

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver some pastries to the prince later."

Xu Qinyu didn't eat much, so he didn't refuse. He just said "thank you".

Soon after Xu Qinyu left and the food on the table was cleared, the eunuch came to report that Prince An and Prince Chen had arrived.

An uncle Wang and a cousin came specially to see him, and Wei Chengjing let them in.

Soon the two men came in under the leadership of the eunuch.

Prince An, Wei Xinghua, was the younger brother of the late emperor. He had a broad heart and a fat body. When the late emperor was alive, he only had to enjoy himself every day without worrying too much.

After the death of the late emperor, he was worried that the Wei family's empire would fall into the hands of Xu Qinyu. He reminded Wei Chengjing several times in private that he should be more ambitious and learn more useful things in order to keep his position.

After Wei Xinghua and Wei Chengxi saluted Wei Chengjing, they sat down below.

Wei Xinghua first cared about Wei Chengjing's health: "I heard that the emperor was ill last night. Is he feeling better today?"

Wei Chengjing smiled and said: "Much better. Thank you for your concern, uncle."

Wei Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. His imperial brother was just a single person, so it would be fine.

"Why did the emperor fall into the water last night? Is it possible that he found someone to do it?"

Unless someone did it deliberately, Wei Xinghua didn't think Wei Chengjing, an adult, could fall into the pond while walking by himself.

Wei Xinghua did not specify who "that" was, but they all knew in their hearts that he was referring to Xu Qinyu.

Because Wei Xinghua cared about him, Wei Chengjing was not angry with him for asking this question.

Wei Chengjing thought that he would take this opportunity to say good things about Xu Qinyu in front of these two people.

"Uncle Emperor, you are overly worried. The regent acts openly and aboveboard, and is not someone who would do what he will do next."

Wei Xinghua frowned. Could it be that the emperor had a brain problem after falling into the water?

You must know that Wei Chengjing used to say that Xu Qinyu was too arbitrary in front of them. No matter what he did, he would ask Xu Qinyu's opinion first. This led many people to wonder whether Xu Qinyu had the idea of ​​usurping the throne.

It was also because of this speculation that Wei Xinghua speculated whether Xu Qinyu was responsible for this incident.

However, based on Xu Qinyu's performance over the years, he does not look like someone who would do such shameful things.

Just for that position, anything is possible, right?

"Your Majesty, are you sure?"

"Sure." Wei Chengjing explained: "I drank some wine last night, so I didn't let the palace maids and eunuchs follow me. When I walked to the pond alone, I saw the moon in the water, and wanted to reach out and touch it. Unexpectedly, I accidentally It fell. The regent stayed by my bedside for a long time last night. I could see that he really cared about me."

Wei Xinghua believed what Wei Chengjing said. It was unlikely that Wei Chengjing would lie to him. He also told Wei Chengjing: "The emperor should pay more attention in the future, otherwise I will not be able to see the emperor in the future."

If the previous emperor had more princes, Wei Xinghua, he wouldn't be so nervous.

Wei Chengxi also said: "Yes, the emperor should pay more attention to it."

It was confirmed that Wei Chengjing was fine, and Wei Xinghua and Wei Chengxi did not stay with him for too long.

They were worried about arousing Xu Qinyu's suspicion. If they wanted to say something confidential, it would be better to find another time.

The conversation between Wei Chengjing and Wei Xinghua and his son soon reached Xu Qinyu's ears.

When Xu Qinyu heard Wei Chengjing say good things for him, he didn't show anything special.

In his opinion, maybe Wei Chengjing said that deliberately to let him know. There were his spies everywhere in the palace, so it was impossible for Wei Chengjing not to know.

Xu Qinyu thought that he shouldn't care too much about this matter, but the result was lingering in his mind.

He was thinking that if Wei Chengjing really just said that because he was putting on a show, then he would be in danger.

But another voice in his heart told him that maybe Wei Chengjing had really changed?

While Xu Qinyu was thinking wildly, Jin Fugui's voice came from outside.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Xu Qinyu put down the memorial and quickly stood up to greet Wei Chengjing.

Wei Chengjing didn't come empty-handed, but also brought a box of pastries.

Wei Chengjing walked up to Xu Qinyu and signaled to Xu Qinyu that he did not need to salute. Then he took the food box from the eunuch and put it on the table with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I personally brought you cakes."

The tone was slightly proud.

Xu Qinyu glanced at the food box and looked away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty can come here in person, does it mean that Your Majesty can review the memorial?"
