Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

At this moment, a unique atmosphere permeated the imperial study. The two sat face to face, so close together that it felt as if the narrow space was enveloped by an atmosphere unique to them.

Xie Qi tilted his head back silently, letting Chu Ye carefully apply the ointment on his wound.

His eyes never left Chu Ye's focused face, but he stared at it with fascination. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, which contained a hint of mischief and teasing.

"My Lord, will this disfigure me?"

Chu Ye glanced at him and said in a gentle but firm voice: "No."

After hearing this, Xie Qi felt much more relaxed and smiled even brighter: "That's great! If I really get disfigured, my wife won't like me anymore."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ye suddenly paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He looked at Xie Qi suspiciously, and asked in a questioning tone, "You already have a wife?"

Xie Qi nodded, with a hint of calmness in his smile: "Yes, I have always kept him in my heart."

Hearing this, Chu Ye felt a bitterness in his heart. He suppressed his anxiety and impulse, wanting to hear more from Xie Qi.

Xie Qi seemed to have sensed his thoughts and gently held Chu Ye Ze's face, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination: "He is my master, but I don't know if you agree or not."

Chu Ye was a little slow to react for a moment, and stood there in a daze, asking doubtfully, "You...are you talking about me?"

Xie Qi nodded seriously, staring at the person in front of him with a firm gaze, as if he wanted to carve the other person deeply into his eyes.

He replied in a low and sincere voice, "My Lord, my feelings towards you have never changed in the slightest."

These words were like a gentle spring breeze blowing across his face, causing the iceberg in Chu Ye's heart to gradually melt. He looked at Xie Qi's sincere eyes, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

Only at this moment did he realize that the relationship between them had long surpassed the simple etiquette between monarch and subject, and became a deep and complex emotional entanglement.

However, just as things were developing in an unpredictable direction, Chu Ye suddenly came to his senses, pushed Xie Qi away, and said in a panic: "Okay... okay, I still have a lot of memorials to review, you can leave first!"

Xie Qi was clearly caught off guard by this sudden move, but he didn't give up easily. Instead, he shamelessly approached Chu Ye Ze again, a smile on his face, and said softly, "It's okay, I can accompany you to review the memorials."

Chu Ye sighed helplessly, but finally compromised and responded casually: "Whatever you say..."

At this moment, the room was completely silent, the only sound being the gentle clatter of Chu Ye Ze flipping through the memorials. Xie Qi lay on the table, staring at Chu Ye Ze silently, as if time had stopped. An indescribable, familiar atmosphere permeated the two of them.

However, beneath this seemingly peaceful surface, Xie Qi's heart was far from peaceful. He was playing with a brush in his hand, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

Today, military power is no longer a problem, but he is still worried about the opinions of civil and military officials and the people of the world towards the emperor.

If the Emperor cannot change his image in the hearts of the people, even if he eventually defeats the Regent, he will face a huge challenge: how can he win the hearts of the people? After all, the Regent's reputation is far better than the Emperor's.

At this moment, Xie Qi saw the brush in his hand and the books on the table. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind and he grasped it in an instant.

"I know how to do it!"

"what?"

Chu Ye, who was originally thinking, was startled by Xie Qi and turned around to ask.

Xie Qi happily shared with Chu Ye, "I know how to change the world's view of you, Your Majesty."

Chu Ye smiled helplessly and said self-deprecatingly: "It's difficult enough to change one person's impression of me, let alone the impression of everyone in the world. I can't even do it."

"You believe me, I mean what I say."

Chu Ye looked at Xie Qi's serious eyes and said slowly, "Okay."

Xie Qi immediately started to get busy. He first found a lot of paper, and then found charcoal pencils to replace the brushes.

After finding these, he occupied half of Chu Ye Ze's table and began to think about it in his mind.

Chu Ye watched Xie Qi busying himself and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Without even looking up, Xie Qi replied, "Writing a novel."

"novel?"

"Ah, it's the storybook."

Chu Ye asked curiously, "What are you going to write?"

Xie Qi lowered his head and said softly, "I plan to write about you in my storybook. The reason why people don't understand you is simply because they don't have a God's perspective. They don't know what kind of person Your Majesty is, let alone what kind of person the Regent is."

"If I write you down in a storybook and let the world see your experiences and inner world, perhaps they will understand your difficulties and comprehend your choices."

Xie Qi looked into Chu Ye Ze's eyes seriously and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will replace the dynasty with another one. That way, those people will never guess that the emperor described in the storybook is actually the current emperor."

"Only when everyone in the world changes their opinion of the emperor in the dialogue, even if they learn the truth, they will surely understand your Majesty's good intentions."

He then added: "Even if we behead the regent in public, people will naturally think that he deserves the death he deserves."

Chu Ye looked at Xie Qi's serious expression and a warm feeling welled up in his heart, but he pretended to be nonchalant and replied calmly, "I have nothing to worry about. Just go ahead and do it."

Chu Ye knew that it was a foolish dream to try to change people's views of him with just these words. However, seeing Xie Qi's persistence in this matter, he couldn't bear to interrupt his enthusiasm.

But what Chu Ye didn't know was that Xie Qi's ideas went far beyond that. He wasn't just imitating the ancient vernacular novels. As a modern person who had traveled through time, he had read countless novels and knew how to attract more readers.

Although Xie Qi knew all of Chu Ye Ze's experiences, in order to dispel Chu Ye Ze's suspicion, he specially consulted Ying You and several other shadow guards to learn about Chu Ye Ze's past.

As for why he didn't look for Yingzuo, it was of course because as soon as he saw him, Yingzuo kept muttering something about the Shadow Guard Rules in his ear.
