What should I do if the protagonist of every world I travel to is sick?

Lu Jinan saw Xie An from a distance, grinning foolishly in the pavilion.

Xie An sat, stood, and patted his cloak.

Lu Jinan looked at the man in a black robe. The sapphire blue cape was outlined with silver lines of fish and clouds, and the neck was trimmed with black fox fur. He looked so elegant and graceful! Standing in the snowy scene, such a person really fulfilled the line in the poem: "The six palace beauties are pale in comparison."

Lu Jinan thought so, but that person would not turn around and smile charmingly, hahaha~

Lu Jinan couldn't help coughing again, and the umbrella in his hand couldn't help shaking. At this time, another hand covered his hand. He looked up and saw that the man had moved to his side at some point.

Xie An looked at the man before him. His hair was tied up with a fine red jade crown inlaid with gold, and he wore a red headband with gold trim over his eyebrows. He wore a white fur coat and a red robe. His pale complexion was given a touch of rosy color by the red suit, and his face, as white as jade, was even more charming and beautiful. He looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

Xie An looked at Lu Jinan intently, his eyes full of curiosity. This was not Xie An's fault, but Lu Jinan usually wore plain clothes and was so low-key that Xie An almost thought that Lu Jinan only wore his court robes with a bright color.

Seeing Xie An staring at him, Lu Jinan was puzzled. Was his outfit too ugly? Yes, this one was too luxurious. He still preferred something simple and comfortable.

Xie An touched his hair, then touched his face, and circled around Lu Jinan twice before he gave up until Lu Jinan caught him.

Lu Jinan's face was filled with anger. "What are you doing?"

At this moment, Xie An's inner thoughts were: Like a slightly angry little fox, so cute! !

Xie An raised his lips and smiled, and the umbrella tilted slightly towards him.

"Nothing, I just haven't seen you wearing red before. I was dazzled by you when you wore it today."

The two of them walked along the cobblestone path holding umbrellas and entered the small courtyard.

"Lord Lu's attire today is different from his usual style. Is he attending a banquet or meeting someone?"

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, waiting for Lu Jinan's answer. If he said he wore this outfit specifically to meet someone, then he could carry him into the house and strip him right now.

What a joke! This guy is already very attractive. If he goes out wearing this outfit, who knows how many men and women will follow him. Let them run if they want. But if he sets his eyes on someone and they follow her, where can he go to cry?

He had worked so hard to raise people so well! Which prince, general, or young master could be like him, who could exchange piles of gold and silver every week for medicinal herbs and supplements more precious than dragon balls to give away.

Lu Jinan didn't have the time to care about Xie An's little thoughts. Let him do whatever he wanted. Anyway, he would not fall in love with someone else in the mission world because he felt that love without results was meaningless.

Lu Jinan responded to him lazily while reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes.

"How could I possibly meet anyone or attend a banquet in my current state? It was just that girl Ayi complaining about how pale I dress every day, saying that a person's energy and spirit all come from how they match their clothes. It was just her whim today."

After saying that, Lu Jinan stretched his hand back from outside, and saw the five-petal snowflakes, six-petal snowflakes and other different snowflakes in his hand, and squinted his eyes happily.

Xie An couldn't help but go over to take a look at him when he saw how happy he was. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that it was just a few pieces of ice that made him so happy.

Lu Jinan waved at Xie An seriously, "That's because you didn't look carefully!"

Lu Jinan held one hand in front of his eyes and pointed at each piece in his palm with the other hand to introduce them to him.

"Look! This one's in the shape of a hexagonal prism, this one's in the shape of a star tree, this one's in the shape of an astrolabe, and this one's in the shape of a triangle. If you look closely, you'll see that every snowflake is unique, and no two have the same shape. In fact, snowflakes are just like people, because every person is unique and there's no substitute for them!"

Xie An slowly shifted his gaze from the snowflakes in his palm to his face.

Yes, snowflakes and people are unique. Apart from the one in front of him, where else can he find someone like him!

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what kind of person you would like to be if you were not the emperor?"

Xie An seemed to be thinking seriously, but after a moment he laughed out loud.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, my dear. When I was a child, I did say that I wanted to be a hero."

Lu Jinan raised the corner of his lips, "Then your Majesty is now a hero who dominates the world, which can be regarded as a dream come true."

Xie An shook his head and smiled. He had been a hero for too long. Sometimes he wanted to be a leisurely person. He hadn't experienced such a pleasant moment as last night for a long time.

People may want to get what they don’t have after they get something.

This is why there is more than one path in life.

"If the emperor chooses not to be the emperor anymore, what would he want to do?"

Xie An suddenly remembered what Nan Zhiyi said to him yesterday, and he found it interesting.

"Come and see the empire I have built in half my life! When I was young, I always loved to go out on private visits. Now I have more territories to manage and more things to do, but I haven't gone out for a walk for a long time." The queen also told him that if he didn't go out more now, it would be difficult for him to go out when he was old.

Lu Jinan was surprised that Xie An's idea coincided with Nan Zhiyi's. Thinking about how these two had been talking non-stop yesterday, a smile appeared on his lips. These two had a connection, and maybe they could even become companions in the future.

After all, the male and female protagonist lines have been completely ruined, and he doesn't think Xie Zhujin has no ambitions, so he will definitely reach that position.

Then he might as well add fuel to the fire and help him.

In the days that followed, word spread that the emperor was considering retiring. This absurd rumor raged for three days, but Xie An showed no sign of explaining. Chaos ensued within the court, which was now divided into three factions: the Crown Prince's Party, the Third Prince's Party, and the Fifth Prince's Party. Of course, a small group, unwilling to join the faction, remained on the emperor's side.

While the Third Prince lacked a powerful maternal clan, he had married a good wife, and thus enjoyed the support of a prominent family. Recently, his ranks had been expanding, even recruiting many of the former Crown Prince's supporters. This trend was already threatening the Crown Prince's position. While the Crown Prince's maternal clan, while prominent, attracted attention, the Crown Prince was overly cautious, while his maternal clan was eager for quick success. Consequently, they were imprisoned for allegedly endangering the Crown Prince's life.

The fifth prince Xie Zhujin is the weakest of the three factions, and the other factions want to snatch his men away.

The Five Princes’ Formation: Grab it.

When the emperor was so upset by the noise from other groups

The Five Princes, who were suddenly called upon, responded: "Huh? What? No problem!"

How did such a bad lineup come together? Well, according to one of the ministers in the Five Princes' formation,

"Look, although the Fifth Prince has no maternal family, he is the prince found by Prime Minister Lu. Although Prime Minister Lu is no longer involved in government affairs, he is still a favorite of the Emperor. I heard that the Emperor visits Prime Minister Lu every now and then! Prime Minister Lu hasn't said anything yet, so they can just wait and see what happens and wait for the Emperor to make a decision."

After finishing this paragraph,

The defeated prince's party is dead.

The third prince, who was disabled by the crown prince, died.

The Fifth Prince's party quietly integrated the troops of the two teams into their own lineup, and without wasting a single soldier, they became the most promising candidate for the new crown prince in the court.

At this time, their anxious emperor and Prime Minister Lu, who did not care about state affairs, were playing chess in a small pavilion by the lake.

Holding a white chess piece in his slender jade-like hand, he gently dropped it, forcing the opponent to retreat step by step.

It was clearly a deadlock just now, but in the blink of an eye, that person turned the disadvantage into an advantage and took every step carefully.

Xie An raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the remaining options on the chessboard. When he was about to throw the chess piece to the position he wanted, the two of them touched their fingertips, and the man's warm fingertips led his hand holding the chess piece to another position.

The chess piece falls and the game is tied.

Xie An carefully examined the chessboard. If he had just made the same move, he would have been defeated and perished. But the move he was making now, though a life-or-death situation, unexpectedly offered a glimmer of hope.

Xie An rubbed the warmth left by the man's fingertips and said with a sincere smile, "Prime Minister Lu is really a man of many talents!"

He smiled slightly, his smile as gentle as the spring breeze.

"That was His Majesty asking me to do that."

Xie An was a little dazed, as if he was back to that day. This man was also playing tricks and said that he was the one who gave in to him.

Xie An slowly put away all the chess pieces on the chessboard and said, "What about the court's next move? What should Prime Minister Lu do?"

Should he continue to take control of the power of the aristocratic family, or should he eradicate it completely?

Lu Jinan smiled and said, "It's all up to His Majesty to decide."

Having said that, he still pointed to the remaining chess pieces.

"Sometimes, you don't have to kill them all. You can suppress them to a certain level and grind them down for a while, letting them believe they are truly at the end of their rope. Then, if the new master shows them mercy, their loyalty at this point is no less than the disillusionment and fear of public opinion of other ministers."

Xie An smiled lightly and put the remaining chess pieces into the bowl.

"You're so obsessed with that kid, are you sure about him?"

"Your Majesty is also optimistic about him, otherwise you wouldn't allow me to act so recklessly."

Xie Zhujin does have the ability to quickly strengthen his power in a short period of time without anyone noticing anything unusual, but this person is also adding fuel to the fire.

Whether it was spreading the false news that he wanted to abdicate to make those people in the court spread rumors, or interspersing information flows to let the people of the prince's party know that the third prince had evidence to trip up the prince, at the same time passing various different information about the court to the prince to make him hesitant, forcing the various families to fight each other, and sending people to stabilize the current situation of the fifth prince's party, using various remarks to make everyone infer that he was actually the real backer behind the fifth prince, so the final result was waiting for the final winner.

"Zhu Jin, Zhu Jin, you have truly blessed him with prosperity and splendor by earning this name."

"This is a path he has made on his own. I, as his uncle, am just helping him out." Lu Jinan said casually.

Xie An raised his eyebrows, "You are taking advantage of me, but I don't have a cheap brother like you."

Lu Jinan paused for a moment while sipping the tea in his hand. He knew that this man must have thought that he was taking advantage of him. Take advantage of him, take advantage of him. He would just think that he was taking advantage of him. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of the current emperor?

Xie An was just joking casually, but seeing Lu Jinan's matter-of-fact attitude, his hearty laughter resounded through the clouds.

He leaned towards Lu Jinan, lifted his chin with his bony fingers, and smiled with a hint of frivolity.

"Then call me brother a few times~"

Lu Jinan rolled his eyes and turned away.

The more Lu Jinan ignored him, the more excited Xie An became!

So when Nan Zhiyi came to find Lu Jinan in the afternoon, she saw this scene: Lu Jinan was running, Xie An was chasing him, and Lu Jinan couldn't escape even if he had wings.
