Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

After all the children left, the child who fell to the ground slowly got up.

He looked to be no more than six years old, with dry and yellow hair, skinny body, and dirty body. Only his eyes were exposed, which were unusually bright.

He seemed to have something hidden in his arms, holding it tightly, and then he limped forward slowly, holding on to the wall.

"Whose child is this? He looks really pitiful." Sui Ning couldn't help but sigh.

Liuliu replied weakly, "Ningning, I was just about to tell you, the child being beaten was Xiao Huai..."

Sui Ning: “What?!”

After hearing what Liu Liu said, Sui Ning suddenly lost her composure and hurriedly followed Xiao Huai quietly.

Seeing Xiao Huai walking unsteadily, Sui Ning was afraid that he would fall at any time.

After a while, Xiao Huai walked into a very desolate house.

Moss grew in the damp cracks between the bricks, vines grew everywhere, the house was dilapidated, and the window frames were half-rotten.

A cold wind blew, the spider webs between the houses fluttered in the wind, and the yard was littered with rubble.

Watching Xiao Huai walk into the house, Sui Ning jumped up and quietly came to the beam.

Xiao Huai came to the simple bed in the room and gently pushed the person lying on the bed, his voice slightly choked.

"Eunuch Fu, wake up, I brought you some delicious food."

Hearing this, Sui Ning noticed that there was another person lying on the bed.

This person was none other than Fuquan, the chief eunuch who had always been by Xiao Huai's side.

But at this moment, Fuquan was as thin as a bamboo pole, with a face as sharp as a bone. How could he be as wealthy as he would be twelve years later?

On the bed, Fuquan tried hard to open his eyes. When he saw Xiao Huai covered in wounds, he tried to sit up, "Ahem! Your Highness, did they bully you again?"

Fuquan's eyes were filled with tears. He held Xiao Huai in his arms and said sadly, "It's all because of my failure to protect His Highness."

"I'm fine." Xiao Huai shook his head.

Then he took out the chicken leg hidden in his arms and handed it to Fuquan's mouth.

"This is the chicken drumstick I found today. If Eunuch Fu eats it, his illness will be cured..."

Looking at the steaming hot chicken drumstick in front of him, Fuquan's eyes filled with tears. "Your Highness found this with great difficulty. Please eat it yourself. I will be fine after two days of rest."

In the end, Fuquan couldn't resist Xiao Huai and ate the chicken leg bit by bit with tears in his eyes.

Looking at the miserable master and servant below, Sui Ning felt extremely uncomfortable and asked, "Liuliu, what's going on with Xiao Huai now?"

Liuliu told Sui Ning all the information she could find.

It turns out that Xiao Huai's biological mother was a singer by the Huai River. One year, when Xiao Yan was on a southern tour, he took a fancy to his mother and brought her back to the palace, and thus Xiao Huai was born.

But his biological mother was of low status and there were many secrets in the palace, so she was banished to the cold palace when Xiao Huai was two years old.

Because Fuquan had received favor from Xiao Huai's mother, he had always stayed by his mother's side and was loyal to her.

However, the people in the palace were cold-hearted and life in the cold palace was miserable. Xiao Huai's mother died of illness within two years, leaving Xiao Huai and Eunuch Fu to depend on each other and suffer from bullying.

"Wuwuwu~" The system sat on Sui Ning's shoulder, holding a small handkerchief, crying, "Ningning, Xiao Huai was so pitiful when he was a child..."

Sui Ning pinched her brows, feeling that she had a long way to go.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard suddenly.

"Open the door! An assassin has entered the palace. Search for the assassin!"

Before Xiao Huai could react, the people outside had already rudely kicked the door open and rushed in.

"Liuliu, turn on stealth mode!"

Liu Liu was about to cry, "There is no such function..."

"Is there a similar potion or spell? Just something that will make them invisible to me!"

If discovered, it would only bring disaster to Xiao Huai!

"There are invisibility potions in the system mall, but we don't have merit coins!" Liu Liu was a little at a loss.

The only 10 merit coins were used to buy animal repellent powder!

"On credit!"

Liuliu quickly went to the system platform to apply for a loan to buy an invisibility potion.

The invisibility potion had an immediate effect as soon as it was taken.

The guards came in and searched every nook and cranny, turning the already dilapidated little room into a complete mess.

All the items on the table and bed were swept to the ground, and even the seriously ill Eunuch Fu was dragged off the bed.

Eunuch Fu and Xiao Huai huddled aside and did not step forward to stop it, because they knew that stopping it would only lead to worse damage.

But a guard took out a jade pendant from under the bed. The jade pendant was of excellent quality and he wanted to take it for himself!

Xiao Huai unexpectedly rushed over and tried to snatch it back, "This is my jade pendant, give it back to me!"

"Give it back to you?" The guard looked at him with disdain and said, "How could you, a discarded child in the cold palace, have such a fine jade pendant? You must have stolen it from somewhere else, so it's just right to confiscate it!"

Fuquan angrily scolded, "This is a gift from the Empress to Your Highness. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will blame you later?!"

The guard sneered, "A phoenix in trouble is no better than a chicken. Do you really think you're a high and mighty prince?!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Xiao Huai grabbed his thigh tightly.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, the guard tried to kick Xiao Huai away.

Xiao Huai closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not fall on him. He only heard the guard in front of him screaming in pain!

The guard somehow ended up falling to the ground like a headfirst onion.

This sudden change instantly alerted the others who were watching the excitement from the sidelines, "Who?! Come out! Stop playing tricks!"

Pretending to be a ghost?

That's a good idea.

A ghost is always better than an assassin.

Sui Ning stood up, picked up the broom beside him, and began to sweep away the enemy.

But to others, it's just a broom flying around in the air, which is creepy.

I've heard that the cold palace is haunted, but I never thought it was true!

"Ahhhhhh!!! Ghost!"

Seeing this, all the guards were instantly frightened and ran out of the door, falling down.

After the guards left, Fuquan hugged Xiao Huai tightly and knelt on the ground trembling.

He pleaded in a mournful voice, "No matter where you are, whether you are a wandering ghost or a deity, please do not harm my little prince."

"If you need to eat someone, just eat me. Fuquan will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of his life."

After saying that, Fuquan knelt on the ground and began to kowtow repeatedly.

Sui Ning said helplessly: "I don't eat people, I came here to protect Xiao Huai."

Upon hearing this, Fu Quan's expression remained alert, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that the goddess has descended? Can you please show yourself to me?"

"Not for now."

The effect of the invisibility potion on her body has not yet worn off.

Xiao Huai, who was behind Fu Quan, suddenly asked, "Did you help me fight them off today?"

"Yes."

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of unclear meaning, "Why are you helping me?"

This time Sui Ning did not answer, because she herself did not know how to answer Xiao Huai's question.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Huai and Eunuch Fu did not ask any more questions and began to clean up the room quietly. After all, the other party did not hurt them now.
