Chapter 812: The Scheming Puppet Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 1
When Shen Xi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dilapidated thatched hut.
The surrounding walls were simply made of mud and thatch. A cold breeze blew through the gaps, blowing on the face, bringing a biting chill.
He moved subconsciously, but the linen clothes on his body, which were as rough as sandpaper, rubbed his skin and hurt.
The bed beneath him was so rudimentary that it was unbearable. It was made of stones.
The stones were not finely polished and had uneven surfaces, with some straw scattered on them. Sleeping on them was like lying in a thorn bush full of sharp thorns, and every turn was accompanied by a sharp pain.
Before Shen Xi's mind was fully clear, he was stabbed hard by the straw. The pain made him wake up instantly and jump off the bed.
At this time, Wangcai, who had been standing by, looked at him in such a state of disgrace and walked up to him quickly with concern.
"Brother, are you okay?" Wangcai's face was full of worry, his eyes fixed on Shen Xi.
Shen Xi shook his head. Although the pain in his body was relieved a little, his heart was full of doubts and confusion. "Transmit the plot."
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Wangcai immediately began to narrate: "The main character Qi Zhi is the regent of the current dynasty. In the eyes of outsiders, he is in a high position and has great power, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
But the truth is, the power in his hands is greater than that of the current royal family. If he was not indifferent by nature and did not want to be bound by the supreme throne, the whole world would have been named Qi long ago.
This person's temperament is really hard to predict. Sometimes he smiles and greets you, but the next second, he is as cold as ice, which makes people shudder. "
"The original owner was Song Sien, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. She accidentally became pregnant, but the father of the child was the current emperor Shen Feng. At first, the two met by chance and had a few encounters, and then they had a brief romance.
Shen Feng was extremely handsome, and his conversation was elegant and graceful. Song Sien fell in love with him unknowingly and willingly committed herself to him. However, this sweet time only lasted for more than a month, and Shen Feng disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
"Song Sien found out she was pregnant not long after he left.
The truth will eventually come to light, and the Song family eventually learned about it. In that feudal world, being pregnant before marriage was a huge taboo, and what was worse was that Song Sien didn't even know the true identity of the child's biological father.
As for Shen Feng, he only regarded Song Sien as a person to entertain himself when he was bored, and he didn't take her seriously at all. He never thought that she was pregnant with his son, the son he had been longing for in the palace. "
"Song Sien was kicked out of the Song family. She was a weak woman, powerless and without any means of making a living.
Moreover, she was already weak, and after struggling to raise Shen Xi until he was nine years old, she exhausted her last bit of strength and passed away. Shen Xi is only fourteen years old now."
Wangcai told Shen Xi all the character information on the task panel, and after that, he did not forget to comfort him.
“But it’s okay, bro.
Shen Feng had few children, only one son and one daughter. The son had always been in poor health and passed away before Shen Feng.
But the daughter was only five years old and was simply unable to take on such a big responsibility.
The main character Qi Zhi took a lot of effort to find out about your existence. He is on his way to pick you up. He will take you to the palace in a while, and you won't have to live this hard life anymore."
Shen Xi nodded to indicate that he understood.
I said it was fast, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. After about a minute or two, the shabby, time-eroded wooden door was slowly pushed open with a creaking sound.
The biting cold wind was howling, and Shen Xi subconsciously wrapped his rough linen clothes tightly.
Several people stood against the light, their figures appearing particularly blurry under the interweaving of the dim light inside the house and the dazzling snow light outside.
Outside the house, it is a world covered in silver.
Thick white snow covers the earth wantonly. Every snowflake is like a work of art carefully crafted by nature. They fall down and pile up into rolling snow hills, reflecting a cold and pure light under the sunlight.
In this expanse of white, separated from Shen Xi by a hand, was a man in a black robe.
The dark color was as deep as the endless night sky, without a trace of other colors, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow scene.
On the black robe, complex and delicate patterns were embroidered with gold thread, which were faintly visible in the weak light, as if telling of the owner's noble and extraordinary status.
A circle of soft white fox fur is revealed at the collar and cuffs, adding a touch of softness and luxury to this solemn outfit.
The man stood there quietly, with a tall and straight figure and a pine-like posture, like a beautiful ink painting, yet with a majestic aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
"Are you Shen Xi?"
When Shen Xi saw him, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. He was wearing very thin clothes, and the fierce cold wind blew on his face, making his fair face red.
Just a glance can make people feel immense pity.
In fact, Qi Zhi's question was completely unnecessary, because Shen Xi's features were exactly the same as those of the late emperor Shen Feng.
"Yes."
After getting the confirmation reply, the coldness in Qi Zhi's eyes slowly disappeared, and he slowly squatted in front of Shen Xi.
"Your Highness's name is Song Si'en, daughter of the Minister of Rites, Song Si'en?"
Shen Xi shook his head and took several steps back, seeming to be a little afraid of the man in front of him.
"My mother's name is Song Si'en, but she is just an ordinary woman, not the daughter of a minister as you said..."
'Song Sien had been kicked out of the Song family before Shen Xi was born, so it was understandable that he didn't know his mother's identity.
The identity should be correct, so let's take him back.'
Qi Zhi looked at Shen Xi thinking and didn't say anything.
Shen Xi was the first to ask, "Who are you and why do you call me Your Highness?"
