Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Yu Zhixi woke up early today, and he woke up as soon as Sheng Yuan woke up.

"I'm going to the morning court session. I'll sleep a little longer and then take you back to the Yu residence," Sheng Yuan said, kissing the person in his arms.

Yu Zhixi reached out and hugged Sheng Yuan's neck, nuzzling her face against his, and said with a smile, "I can't sleep, I'll wait for you to come back."

Sheng Yuan smiled and tightened his arms around her. "Okay."

After Sheng Yuan left, Yu Zhixi also got up.

Today, she was dressed in a light green brocade robe with subtle gold thread patterns, which made Yu Zhixi's skin appear even whiter and gave her a vibrant look.

Yu Zhixi didn't have breakfast right away, but instead read for a while, waiting for Sheng Yuan to come back so they could eat together.

In the imperial court, Xiao Hong was still making a last-ditch effort, trying to cut his losses and survive. The Guo family was the tail he needed to cut off.

And he wanted to link the Guo family to the Crown Prince.

Lady Guo was the Crown Princess's stepmother, and thus an elder.

However, to his surprise, Sheng Yuan directly exposed the fact that Guo had poisoned Yu Zhixi when Yu Zhixi was twelve years old.

What angered Xiao Hong even more was that Sheng Yuan had evidence that he could not refute.

The Crown Prince's connection with Lady Guo was due to the Crown Princess, but Lady Guo was the enemy who harmed the Crown Princess, so their relationship couldn't be cleaner.

These things were not said by Xiao Hong himself, but it is a fact that his men were killed.

Sheng Yuan didn't even look at Xiao Hong's dark face. Yu's father, being Guo's husband, was found not to be involved, but he was still guilty of failing to manage his household properly, so he was suspended from his post and ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

The most affected in the Yu family were Yu Qingyan and Yu Qingjing, born to Guo. With a mother whose hands were stained with blood, they could forget about marrying into good families, and their prospects in the imperial examinations and officialdom were also over.

In the Yu family, one son got married, another son's future was ruined, a daughter had difficulty finding a husband, and the pillar of the Yu family was suspended from his post, with no one knowing when he would be able to return.

When Sheng Yuan returned to the East Palace, he heard Nuonuo say that his wife was reading and practicing calligraphy in the study, so he went to the study to rescue her.

Yu Zhixi had already changed her clothes, and Sheng Yuan came into the study and picked her up directly.

"Ah Yuan!" Yu Zhixi was startled, and almost dropped the book in her hand. "Put me down!"

He's been held like this all day; his feet haven't touched the ground like this before.

"I'll take you to have breakfast." Sheng Yuan ignored her and lifted Yu Zhixi by the buttocks as they left the study.

During the meal, Sheng Yuan told Yu Zhixi about what had happened in the morning.

Yu Zhixi wouldn't have dared to listen before. Now that she's the Crown Princess, she's considered part of the inner court, and according to the rules, she shouldn't interfere in matters of the court. But Sheng Yuan didn't hold back. During the meal, he dismissed the servants and started chatting with her directly.

Therefore, he has now gotten used to Sheng Yuan talking to him about court affairs during breakfast.

Yu Zhixi felt relieved after hearing this. Guo had paid the price for her evil deeds. The matter had been resolved through the Emperor's decree. Dissatisfaction would be questioning the Emperor's decision.

Yu Zhixi thought that Sheng Yuan had prepared a lot of gifts for his return visit, and since his father was suspended from his job during this period, these things should be enough to last for a while.

Yu Song was weak but loved his son. He was not a good father, but his love was.

He did not wrong Yu Zhixi, but he also could not protect her.

After breakfast, Sheng Yuan took Yu Zhixi back to the Yu residence.

However, the Yu family was not very peaceful.

In the main hall, Madam Guo knelt on the ground, begging Yu Song to save her for the sake of her two children. Yu Song didn't want to save her. He had married her under duress from the Marquis's mansion. If Madam Luo hadn't died in childbirth, the Marquis of Beiwei would have threatened to demote his wife to a concubine. Over the years, with the Marquis's mansion's power suppressing him, he could only tolerate it, and even his mother had to put up with Madam Guo. For years, Madam Guo had been acting arrogantly in the mansion, arranging concubines for him to maintain a reputation for virtue, but then forcing these concubines to have contraceptive potions. Moreover, whenever he went to a concubine's room, she would throw a tantrum the next day, causing him a lot of headaches.

He had never thought of taking a concubine before. After marrying Luo, he never thought of taking a concubine. Even when he was forced to marry Guo, he never thought of taking a concubine. Later, Guo took it upon herself to take a concubine for him. He just wanted to avoid being alone and never touched those concubines. However, Guo kept forcing him to go to the concubines' room while nagging him that she had forgotten the old one because she had a new one.

That was bad enough, but she also poisoned him and almost killed the only child Luo left him. He couldn't stand up for his son, so he never went to Guo's house again from that day on. This was the only resistance he could do. It was utterly pathetic, but that was all he could do.

Right now, even if he could save him, he wasn't planning to get involved, let alone be unable to do so.

People always have to pay the price for their actions.

He was suspended from his post because he was weak and incompetent.

And Guo must pay the price for her actions!

Yu Qingyan didn't understand court affairs; she only knew that her mother was doomed. She was terrified and hid behind Yu Qingjing, crying but not daring to make a sound.

Yu Qingjing's eyes also reddened, but there was nothing he could do. The things that had happened to the Crown Prince, His Majesty, and those ministers were not something he could change. Seeing his sister crying, he turned around, hugged her, and gently patted her to comfort her.

Yu Song sat at the head of the table, his face dark and gloomy.

"My lord, the Crown Prince has returned with his Crown Princess."
