Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 961 The Unfavored Prince X The Poor Homeless Child 7

The post-disaster reconstruction work here is long, and Shen Xi's injuries have not yet healed.

So Shen Xi didn't plan to return to the capital so soon.

With food, post-disaster reconstruction will be much easier.

But even so, it took about a year to complete the construction, but Shen Xi and his companions did not get to see the completed Misty Jiangnan.

Three months after he was injured, he was called back by an imperial decree from Shen Hongyuan.

On the day when the imperial edict was received, Shen Xi took Gu Yu to the river to fish.

After receiving the imperial edict, the smile on Shen Xi's face disappeared.

"It's so nice to be carefree here, why did the old man call me back?"

If I go back, I will have to engage in intrigue with Shen Yi. Who knows, he might still be thinking about how to kill me.

Thinking about the days that seemed to have no end, Shen Xi felt a little upset.

In the house, Gu Yu helped him pack his luggage. Having lived with him for half a year, Gu Yu could naturally tell that he was in a bad mood.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Shen Xi is not yet willing to tell him about the intrigues within the royal family, as Gu Yu does not have the ability to stand on his side and fight against him.

It's no use telling him.

Furthermore, all Shen Xi wanted in his life was to raise him healthy, have a title and a nobility, and get money every year, so it didn't matter to him whether he wanted the throne or not.

"It's nothing. I just felt a little tired ahead of time because of the long journey."

Gu Yu didn't quite understand what he said, but he nodded as if he understood.

"It's okay, brother. I'll keep you company in the car so you won't be too tired."

Shen Xi looked at this child whose heart and eyes were filled with only him, and a sense of possession inexplicably surged in his heart.

"it is good."

When Shen Xi was about to leave the city gate the next day, all the people in the city stood at the gate to see them off.

They all saw how much Shen Xi had contributed to the post-disaster reconstruction and respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

So when they knew he was going to leave, the people discussed how to give him a good farewell before he left.

Many people were holding things in their hands, including local eggs and hens tied with straw ropes...

Although they knew that Shen Xi was of noble status and probably would not be short of these things, they just wanted to give them to him. They didn't want anything for it, they just wanted to give them to him.

But even though they gave it to him, Shen Xi couldn't accept it.

Although the series of disasters caused by the floods have been well controlled, the people's lives have not returned to the same conditions as before the disaster.

Shen Xi returned to the palace. Although life would not be easy, he would definitely not lack for food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

He has it, but the people here don't.

He pulled open the carriage curtain and walked down. After thanking the people, he politely declined their kindness.

Most of the country people are simple and honest. If Shen Xi spoke in a complicated way, they would not understand, so he just told the truth.

After hearing his words, those people took back the things they were about to give away.

"Then your highness, I wish you a safe journey."

"Ah."

After they said goodbye, the two of them finally set out on the journey back to Beijing.

But this section of the road is not so easy to walk.

Since there were civilians and officials in the city, it would be difficult for Shen Yi to take action.

After much thought, it would be best to take action on his way back.

Shen Yi waited and waited, but unexpectedly, Shen Xi would return in March.

How can I do it myself if he doesn't come back?

So he played a brotherly role to Shen Hongyuan and said, "The flood in Jiangnan has been well controlled, and my brother's mission has been completed. Rather than suffering over there, you'd better come back quickly."

Shen Hongyuan's brother, who was of the same father and mother, died in the battle for the throne, so what he hated most in his life was brothers killing each other for the throne.

Now, seeing Shen Yi pretending to think about Shen Xi, he felt very relieved.

He drafted an imperial edict and sent someone to Jiangnan to call him back.

The coachman who is driving Shen Xi now was the one arranged by Shen Yi in order to monitor his every move.

Before this, Shen Xi had been staying in Jiangnan and had not made any major moves, so the coachman was of no use.

It works now.

As soon as Shen Xi left the city, Shen Yi received the news.

In the dark room, Shen Yi was fiddling with the jade ring on his hand.

"Take your men and set off immediately. If he returns safely, you will bring his head to me."

The secret guard who was half-kneeling in front of him nodded in response after hearing his order, and then walked out of the dark room.

Shen Yi showed an expression of confidence, as if in his eyes, Shen Xi was already a dead man.

Jiangnan is quite far from the capital. If you take a horse carriage, it will take about five or six days.

They were walking slowly here, but the secret guards of Shen Yi's faction were riding on fast horses and coming towards them.

When they were resting in an inn along the way, Wangcai tipped him off.

After saying this, there was no sign of confusion or panic on his face.

"Brother, aren't you surprised?"

"Why should you be surprised? I've read Shen Yi's report. It's inevitable that he will take action. He will take action sooner or later, but it's just a few days earlier than I expected. There's no need to be too surprised."

“Then…Brother, you are alone now, and the secret guards he sent are quite numerous.

How about we take another route at night?"

'it's useless.'
