Chapter Thirty-Three: Awakening

  Just then, the Eastern Depot Commander Wang Cheng'en rushed over and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Wake up, wake up, Your Majesty, wake up."

  Chongzhen Emperor was in a daze, what? He woke up? After a while, he came to his senses and immediately asked Wang Chengen: "Is Mr. Zhong awake?"

  Wang Cheng'en nodded vigorously and followed up with a flattering remark: "Your Majesty is wise!"

  "Hurry up and prepare the carriage, I'll go and take a look." The Chongzhen Emperor was overjoyed.

  Time went back to one o'clock before, Zhong Jinwei was in a side hall.

  Arqi is wiping Zhong Jinwei's body, although it's winter and Zhong Jinwei has been lying down all the time, usually not sweating much. But Arqi still wipes his body from time to time because the imperial doctor said that wiping the body not only maintains hygiene but also promotes blood circulation for Zhong Jinwei, which is beneficial to him.

  Although Ah Qi has wiped Zhong Jinwei's body countless times, every time he wipes Zhong Jinwei's lower body, his face turns red. At first, it was very embarrassing, but now his hands and feet won't stop, and he'll just do what needs to be done, still with a red face. Needless to say, as a palace-raised princess, handling male-specific things is definitely a unique experience for her.

  This isn't right, it's red and swollen, but that's not how it was before. In the past, when I wiped this thing, it was always soft and limp. Today, why did it react like this? It got hard, as hard as an iron rod! With a puzzled expression, she lifted her head to look at Zhong Jinwei's face.

  At this glance, he was startled and found that Zhong Jinwei's face was so red! His eyes were not naturally closed as usual, but tightly closed.

  After a while, Archie suddenly became overjoyed: "The young master has awoken??"

  "Ah Qi hurriedly bent down to the head of the bed and asked: 'Young Master, Young Master, are you awake?' "

  Zhong Jinwei knew he couldn't hide it any longer, that damned traitor had sold himself out. So, with his eyes closed, he nodded slightly.

  A Qi suddenly saw, for a moment can't describe his feelings, suddenly shouted: "Young master woke up, young master woke up." Then turned around and wanted to run out to tell others the good news.

  Just as Archie was about to run away from the bedside, his hand was caught by Zhong Jinwei.

  Archie turned his head in surprise and looked at Zhong Jinwei.

  "Can't you, can't you cover me first and then go inform others?" Zhong Jinwei said in a low voice.

  At the sound of this, Archie's face also turned red like Zhong Jinwei. He felt very embarrassed and gently struggled free from Zhong Jinwei, twisted his head to pull the quilt over, covered Zhong Jinwei at once, then wanted to escape from here.

  I don't want to hear Zhong Jinwei's muffled voice again: "You've covered my head too."

  Aqi listened and turned his head to look, and indeed covered Zhong Jinwei entirely. He couldn't help but feel a little amused, what was wrong with himself, why was he so timid and shy? That thing of Zhong Jinwei's, he had not only looked at it many times, but also wiped it many times, humph, who was afraid of whom!

  As he thought about it, Archie's heartbeat slowed down, and he calmly helped Zhong Jinwei tidy up the quilt. Then he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Young master, I'll go inform Wang Gonggong of this good news. The emperor has been waiting for news of your awakening."

  Zhong Jinwei also opened his eyes and nodded with a red face.

  Archie turned around and took two steps, suddenly changed into a run and ran out.

  Only Zhong Jinwei, a loser, was left in the hall, quietly recalling everything that had just happened.

  Soon, Emperor Chongzhen rushed to the side hall, and in a few steps he arrived at Zhong Xing's bedside. He looked over and saw that Zhong Xing was indeed smiling and staring at him with wide eyes.

  The Chongzhen Emperor suddenly couldn't speak and didn't know what to say.

  These past few months have been difficult, with the situation in the country, the military, governance, and finances all feeling like they've reached a breaking point. I haven't slept well at night, and the things that Zhong Jingwei said are gradually coming to light.

  The main force of the Jin army bypassed the pass and attacked from behind, something that had never happened before, and no one believed it would happen, finally occurred.

  Zhong Jinwei had warned Yuan Chonghuan not to use it from the very beginning, but he didn't believe it himself, and in the end, it came true.

  I thought that overthrowing the eunuch party would lead to a turn for the better in governance, but yesterday's lesson was so profound.

  There is also Zhong Jinwei's recommendation of Sun Chengzong who dares to take responsibility, and Qin Liangyu's heroic spirit, both of which have left a deep impression on me.

  Chongzhen Emperor felt the importance of Zhong Xiang to himself more than ever before, feeling that Zhong Xiang was giving himself unreservedly loyal and devoted advice with a clear conscience.

  I was once so lost and helpless, I wanted to find someone to help me but there was no one. Now Zhong Jiawei has finally woken up, he's finally awake.

  It's not that emperors don't shed tears, it's just that nothing has touched the soft spot in their hearts.

  Just in front of Zhong Jingwei's bed, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and shed two lines of tears, saying: "Mr. Zhong, you're awake, it's good that you're awake, I'm in a difficult situation, can you help me?"

  Zhong Jinwei was taken aback at first, then quickly came to his senses. He felt that Emperor Chongzhen was in great trouble and also sensed the emperor's high regard for him. Zhong Jinwei wanted to raise his hand and clench his fist to express his opinion strongly. Unfortunately, he had just woken up and hadn't fully recovered control over his body, so he couldn't lift his hand. The sudden movement of grabbing Ah Qi was an emergency response that tapped into his physical potential. He could only use his head to nod vigorously: "Good, I'm willing!"

  Wang Chengen was originally following Emperor Chongzhen, but seeing the emperor's situation, he thought it was a sin, so he quietly drove everyone out, including Ah Qi. The wise and powerful Son of Heaven couldn't be seen showing weakness.

  The Chongzhen Emperor suddenly found that he seemed to have shed tears, and embarrassedly turned his face away, quietly using his sleeve to wipe them off. The wide sleeves of the ancients were used to wipe away with a certain angle, and ordinary people wouldn't notice.

  Zhong Jinwei looked at him like this, obviously seeing the self-deceiving action of Emperor Chongzhen. He smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed, I also cried several times when I was as old as you. As the saying goes, a man should cry when he wants to cry and laugh when he wants to laugh, everything is natural and not pretentious." Yes, Zhong Jinwei at Emperor Chongzhen's age was just in college, still carefree and innocent.

  Chongzhen Emperor smiled and didn't hide it anymore, anyway there were no other people around. He was a bit curious and said: "I still don't know how old Mr. Zhong is."

  "Thirty-two years old, twelve years older than Your Majesty, a complete zodiac cycle."

  "I don't think it looks like it."

  "Wow, it's you old folks who look older, maybe we eat better, but don't look at me, I'm 32 and still single, unlike you, who already have a son."

  "Object?"

  "It's just the wife, oh, madam, spouse."

  Chongzhen Emperor couldn't help but imagine, thirty-two years old and still no wife, what kind of old man is this? He couldn't help but laugh, yes, schadenfreude exists in the depths of every person's heart.

  At this time, the distance between Emperor Chongzhen and Zhong Jingwei was suddenly very close. Emperor Chongzhen also didn't care about his imperial image anymore, anyway he had already lost it before, so he sat down at the head of the bed.

  Unexpectedly, the quilt was pulled to Emperor Chongzhen's side, revealing Zhong Jin's shiny body. Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, guessing that it was Ah Qi wiping his body, and glanced out of the palace in response.

  "Mr. Zhong, what's wrong with your face?" Emperor Chongzhen turned his head back and suddenly found that Zhong Jinwei's face was like a monkey's buttocks. He originally thought it was normal for the maid to wipe his body, but when he saw Zhong Jinwei's reaction, he knew this was his first time, and now he had found a superior point, Emperor Chongzhen burst out laughing at Zhong Jinwei.

  This was discovered by Emperor Chongzhen, and Zhong Jinwei's face turned thin, really wanting to drill into the ground. Suddenly, he thought of something, using the method of diverting attention, and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, what time is it now, what is the situation like, has the enemy come around to attack?"

  Chongzhen Emperor suddenly woke up to the current situation and his mood sank. He then told Zhong Jie about all that had happened during this period of time.

  Zhong Jin listened quietly, his mood not only didn't sink, but was instead very excited. Compared to what he knew, the main people were all there. It seemed that it was indeed his own history. Shouldn't he show off his skills now? He must reverse the original history and erase the dark period of Chinese history, no matter what, he couldn't let the Qing dynasty win.

  After Chongzhen Emperor finished speaking, Zhong Jinwei comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, with me, a person from the future, everything will be fine, I'll definitely help you!"

  Chongzhen Emperor nodded vigorously in response, but suddenly thought of something and seemed to hesitate a bit before saying: "Mr. Zhong, this, that, can you please not tell others that you come from the future, and also don't say that I am the king of Wang country?"

  Zhong Jinwei heard, oh, it seems that this is very unfavorable to Emperor Chongzhen. If the emperor loses his prestige, it will be difficult to command people. Having been a project manager himself, he can empathize with this point.

  "Alright, this is something I didn't do well, but how can you talk about my background?"

  Chongzhen Emperor thought to himself, his hometown, the empress's hometown, and whatnot, it seemed really hard to fabricate, if someone with a keen eye were to investigate, fabricating anything would be no good, didn't he feel a bit embarrassed.

  At this time, Zhong Jinwei remembered a certain book he had read before about crossing over. He had an idea and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. I'll say that I am a descendant of the Song Dynasty, a branch that was forced to move overseas back then. Anyway, not many people know about overseas now, and it's hard to investigate, so it should be able to pass for now." Zhong Jinwei thought to himself, if someone really asks where overseas is, I'll say the North Pole, go die investigating.

  The Chongzhen Emperor heard it and thought it was a good idea, so he decided to do it that way.

  After finishing this matter, Emperor Chongzhen remembered the difficult thing that had come before and sought advice from Zhong Xian.

  Zhong Jinwei heard this and said: "Your Majesty, if you let Sun Chengzong go after Zu Dashou, there will definitely be no problem."

  "All right, I'll go and issue the edict immediately. State affairs are important, I have to leave now. Mr. Zhong, take good care of yourself, you're still in this state because you tried to save me, and I haven't even had a chance to thank you yet. You say, what do you want? This time it must be mentioned."

  "This, this, I haven't thought it through."

  "You speak first, otherwise I won't be able to let it go."

  "Well, then, um, I think..."

  Chongzhen Emperor was strange, just now he was still a straightforward person, saying something like "a real man, everything is up to one's own heart". Now why so hesitant: "Just say it bluntly, even if you're wrong, it doesn't matter!"

  "I want to marry Qi as my wife!" Zhong Jinwei burst out.

  Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but wake up, calling on all book friends: Zhongheng uses the number of registered user clicks as the ranking calculation standard.
