Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

After returning to the Prince's residence from the Eastern Palace, Xiao Hong went straight to his study.

He angrily slammed his fist on the table, tearing a gash in the corner.

How could Xiao Che not be dead? How come he's so resilient?

Did the Imperial Astronomical Bureau just stumble upon a dead mouse by sheer luck?

Xiao Hong used to disbelieve in these feudal superstitions, but now that his soul has traveled through time, he'd rather believe in them than not.

It seems I really did lose more than I gained!

No wonder Xiao Che was nervous about Yu Zhixi; Xiao Hong successfully provided a reasonable yet absurd explanation for Sheng Yuan's behavior.

Yu Zhixi woke up two days later in the early morning, before dawn, around 1:15 AM.

When Yu Zhixi woke up, she felt as if she was being held in someone's arms, which felt very warm.

The air was filled with the scent of herbs.

Moreover, it seemed like there was something tied to his eyes. Yu Zhixi reached out to touch it, but was grabbed by two hands, and a deep, hoarse voice came from above his head.

"Don't move, these glasses will be more comfortable."

He is the Crown Prince.

Yu Zhixi trembled upon hearing this voice.

Sheng Yuan pressed his face against Yu Zhixi's forehead; the fever had subsided.

"Don't be afraid. I was just confused before. I won't hurt you again." Although Sheng Yuan didn't want to take the blame for the original owner, he still wanted to reassure his wife.

Admit your mistake first, then calm people down.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhixi tried his best to suppress his trembling and said softly, "Your Highness, there is no need to apologize."

No, that's not it. But as a subject, what can I ask for?

Yu Zhixi felt inexplicably a little wronged.

Sheng Yuan patted his wife's head. "It was my fault, and I must apologize. I shouldn't have hurt you before. You were innocent and got dragged into this, so it's understandable that you resent and hate me."

Yu Zhixi was both surprised and saddened after hearing this.

Who would believe that the arrogant and cruel Crown Prince Xiao Che would say such a thing?

But these words caused a growing sense of grievance in his heart.

He just hated the Crown Prince, and the whip he was lashed with back then hurt terribly!

"I'll have someone send some food over. I haven't had a decent meal in days, and my stomach definitely can't take it."

As Shengyuan spoke, he got up, took the cloak hanging to the side, and carefully helped the woman sit up, wrapping the cloak around his wife who was only wearing an undergarment.

Upon hearing her host's voice, Nuonuo quickly brought in a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge.

"Nuonuo greets the Crown Prince and Crown Princess." Nuonuo entered and, seeing that she had startled her mistress by opening the door, quickly greeted them.

Yu Zhixi heard the voice of the servant named Nuonuo; it was a very clear and bright young boy's voice.

Sheng Yuan picked up the porridge, stirred it with a spoon, blew on it, and scooped up a spoonful to feed Yu Zhixi. Yu Zhixi had smelled the aroma since Nuonuo came in. He originally wanted to eat it himself, but he didn't expect the Crown Prince to feed him.

"Try this vegetable and lean meat porridge. Do you like it?" Sheng Yuan coaxed gently.

Yu Zhixi slowly opened his mouth, took a bite, and felt a warm current flowing through his body.

Seeing that Yu Zhixi liked it, Sheng Yuan continued to feed her.

“Your Highness, I can do it myself,” Yu Zhixi declined.

“Your hand is still injured, it’s the same if I feed you,” Sheng Yuan replied.

Seeing this, Yu Zhixi had no choice but to give up.

“Your dowry servant Yuanbao was poisoned to death by someone when he ran away. The Eastern Palace is not very clean now. Nuonuo is trustworthy. Let him serve you during this time. I will feel at ease with him protecting you when I am not around.”

Sheng Yuan fed him while talking.

He could only nod in agreement to the Crown Prince's arrangements.

Yuanbao was a member of the Guo family. His servant, Liuguang, was beaten to death by the Guo family when he was twelve years old for failing to protect his master.

Having been monitoring his every move all these years, he probably thought he was going to die and that Yuanbao was no longer useful, so out of caution, he poisoned him.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that what His Highness the Crown Prince said is true.

After being fed a bowl of porridge, Yu Zhixi felt a little better.

Sheng Yuan stared at his wife. The swelling on her face had subsided, and her eyes were covered by a blue, white, and gold brocade strip with medicinal properties. She wore a black cloak, which made her face appear even whiter. Her lips were rosy from drinking porridge, but the gauze on her hands and neck pained Sheng Yuan.

"Your Highness, it's time to wash up and change before attending the morning court session," Zhiyuan reminded him punctually from outside the palace.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan said to Yu Zhixi, "I'm leaving now. Let Nuonuo stay with you. Just tell him if you need anything. I'll come back to keep you company at noon."

Yu Zhixi nodded obediently, "I have remembered."

When it was time to leave, Sheng Yuan returned to the bedside and patted his head.

Yu Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief at the Crown Prince's departure.

The current crown prince treats him very well, but that doesn't change the fact that he hurt him in the past.

Yu Zhixi's mind was in a mess.

Nuonuo poured the boiled water into a teacup and let it cool.

"Nuonuo, have you been following His Highness all along?" Yu Zhixi thought that since the Crown Prince only said that Nuonuo was trustworthy, perhaps the breakthrough point was this servant.

"Yes."

To be honest, Nuonuo had indeed followed its host to the small world to save its master.

"how old are you?"

"Fourteen years old."

"Your name was given to you by His Highness?"

"No, Nuonuo has always been called by this name. His Highness was too lazy to change it, so it has always been called that."

Nuonuo noticed that the tea was at the right temperature as indicated on the screen, so she picked up the teacup and respectfully handed it to Yu Zhixi, who was sitting against the headboard. "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince instructed you to drink more warm tea, as it is good for your health."

Yu Zhixi reached out to take the cup, but he couldn't see it, so Nuonuo quickly placed the teacup in his hand.

The tea was at the perfect temperature, and Yu Zhixi finished it in one gulp, handing the teacup to Nuonuo. The two of them fell silent again in the main hall.

Yu Zhixi was surrounded by darkness. Wearing this strip of cloth made his eyes feel more comfortable than before. In the past, his eyes would ache so much that he couldn't sleep, but now he didn't feel that way at all.

Is it daylight outside?

"It's lit up."

"Is it still snowing?" He remembered that it was snowing the day he entered the East Palace.

"Yes, I am." Nuonuo was not quite sure what her master wanted to do.

"I would like to see the snow scenery."

This stumped Nuonuo. He didn't know how to treat the eyes; only his master could do it. Besides, his master's body was too weak to treat the eyes; he needed to recuperate first.

Moreover, it's snowing outside, and the owner has only recently recovered from a fever. If they go out and get their shoes and socks wet, or get chilled from the snow, that would be bad.

"Can't I even hear the sound?" Yu Zhixi settled for second best.

Nuonuo suddenly remembered something and said to Yu Zhixi, "Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

Nuonuo first took out a wooden wheelchair, covered it with a soft and comfortable fur cushion, then helped Yu Zhixi wash up and change clothes, and then helped Yu Zhixi into the wheelchair.

"Princess Consort, be careful." Fortunately, there was Sheng Yuan's medicine; otherwise, with Yu Zhixi covered in injuries, she would probably have been lying down.

Yu Zhixi was surprised that the wound was not as painful as he had imagined.

Yu Zhixi didn't need to go out and meet people, so Nuonuo simply found a jade hairpin to fix his hair.

Worried that Yu Zhixi would catch a cold, Nuonuo exchanged for a protective shield for Yu Zhixi. This protective shield was cheap and only protected Yu Zhixi from the cold.

Yu Zhixi is blind, so he is unaware of Nuonuo's strange behavior.

Nuonuo pushed Yu Zhixi to a side window, which was only slightly ajar. You couldn't see outside, but you could hear the sounds from outside if you listened carefully.

Nuonuo can't hear anything, but perhaps blind people have much better hearing than normal people.

Yu Zhixi felt a breeze, but it wasn't cold.

Nuonuo moved the small stove next to Yu Zhixi, so that it could both keep warm and boil water, killing two birds with one stone.

Nuonuo sat next to Yu Zhixi, watching the stove and keeping him company without saying a word.

Yu Zhixi sat in his wheelchair, feeling no cold at all. A constant breeze blew by, ruffling the stray strands of hair on his forehead.

Nuonuo looked at her owner, who sat upright in the wheelchair but with a hint of casual laziness, and felt that the owner of this world was a talented and modest gentleman.

If it weren't for the Guo family, the master might have become a great scholar.

Blindness prevents one from participating in scientific expeditions, and besides, the master can't even rely on his own father, and has no one he can trust around him, so where would he find the energy to study?

Guo would send Yuanbao to monitor the situation, and she certainly wouldn't allow her eldest son from her first marriage to be more outstanding than her own son.

Yu Zhixi sat for a long time and felt a little hungry, so he asked Nuonuo to bring some snacks to fill his stomach.

Sheng Yuan instructed Nuonuo not to leave, but to do her best to fulfill her master's requests.

So Nuonuo put another protective shield on Yu Zhixi, this one was more expensive and provided more comprehensive protection.

Yu Zhixi was the only one left in the main hall.
