Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Having already lost all his possessions, and now even his salary, Vice Minister Zhang cursed Zhang Chong countless times in his heart. If he had known that this son would harm people like this, he should have killed him long ago.

But now, Vice Minister Zhang could only admit defeat, as he couldn't find a single clue.

He suspected that the Crown Prince had sent someone to set the fire, but the Crown Prince hadn't even left his residence in recent days.

In the Eastern Palace, Chi Xing slept with Qi Siyu.

Suddenly feeling a cold gaze, Akahoshi opened her eyes and met a pair of angry eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Chi Xing was kicked to the ground by Qi Siyu.

"Ah, Ayu, you..."

Qi Siyu stared at him coldly with a world-weary face, then casually picked up a pillow and threw it at him.

He said, "Get lost!!"

Akahoshi didn't retaliate after being hit, but instead looked at him intently, worried that he was having a relapse, and subconsciously comforted him:

"Ayu, are you hungry? I'll take you to wash up, and then we'll go have a meal."

He was about to walk over and reach out to hug the person.

Qi Siyu was shocked by his words and her eyes widened. She then grabbed another pillow from the side and hit him.

"What's wrong with you! Don't touch me, get out!"

If it weren't for feeling utterly powerless, Qi Siyu would have sworn to kill this treacherous dog from the Eastern Depot today.

It was only then that Chi Xing realized something was wrong, and seeing Qi Siyu's angry expression, he was clearly no longer as dazed as he had been the day before.

Akahoshi smiled and stood up from the ground, asking, "Are you alright?"

Qi Siyu glared at him: "What brings you to the Crown Prince's bedroom, Eunuch?"

He simply couldn't understand why Chixing had come to the Eastern Palace, and even, he had been sleeping while holding him.

Thinking about how she had woken up just now and found herself nestled in Chi Xing's arms, and even thought he smelled nice... Qi Siyu felt extremely disgusted.

He already harbored resentment over the past martial arts competition, and Chi Xing was always meddling in other people's business, neglecting the proper duties of the Eastern Depot and instead focusing on controlling this short-lived crown prince.

Qi Siyu knew he was destined to die young, and having lived a carefree life all these years, he disliked old-fashioned people like Chi Xing.

But who can tell him why the old man suddenly ran to his bed and even cuddled him while sleeping together?

Seeing his wife come back to life, Akahoshi's smile deepened as he said:

"I was passing by when I happened to encounter an assassin who was trying to harm His Highness, which is why I am protecting him closely."

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince, it is only right of this servant to take care of Your Highness."

Qi Siyu couldn't find any fault in those two sentences. He stared at Chi Xing for a while, then snorted coldly:

"Why aren't you coming over here to help me up and change my clothes?"

Qi Siyu raised an arm, looking just like a proud cat. Although he wasn't aggressive at all, he still acted superior.

The fox-like eyes glanced over indifferently, as if looking at a weed, devoid of any emotion.

Akahoshi adored his appearance, yet felt heartbroken that he didn't like her.

But she's his wife after all, how could he not win her over?

Akahoshi walked over with a servile bow, saying, "Yes."

He reached out and grasped Qi Siyu's slender wrist, helping her to stand up. Even though he had been holding her for the past few days, he still felt that Qi Siyu was too thin.

Qi Siyu was weak and wanted to drive the man away, but he rarely saw the Red Dog Thief like this, so he decided to just order him around, humiliate him, and make him angry to death.

To everyone's surprise, Akahoshi didn't feel humiliated at all; in fact, he even enjoyed it.

He took the moon-white robe that His Highness the Crown Prince liked to wear and gently helped him put it on.

The tall figure was too close to him, and Qi Siyu felt a sense of oppression.

He looked up at Chi Xing's face. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were long but not charming. If he didn't know that Chi Xing was the supervisor of the Eastern Depot, he would not have been able to tell that this man was a eunuch.

Because of their height difference, Qi Siyu noticed that Chi Xing was almost half a head taller than him, which displeased him.

But thinking that he had just turned eighteen and this guy was already in his twenties, he scoffed inwardly, thinking that he would definitely be taller than him in two years and then he would be able to overshadow him.

The clothes were a bit complicated. Akahoshi appeared behind Qi Siyu without him noticing, wrapped her arms around his waist, and tied his belt.

The warm breath sprayed against Qi Siyu's ear, sending a tingling sensation through him and making his heart flutter.

Suddenly, Qi Siyu felt a bit thirsty, but the person behind him still hadn't left, so he couldn't help but reach out to tie his belt himself.

"You're so clumsy, I, the Crown Prince, will do it myself."

He reached for his belt, but instead grabbed a hand with distinct knuckles.

Qi Siyu felt a burn on his finger, but out of respect for his authority, he did not immediately let go.

Chi Xing lowered her eyes, pretending to panic and try to pull her hand back, but Qi Siyu gripped it tighter.

For reasons unknown, Qi Siyu gently rubbed Chi Xing's hand on the back of his hand and said:

"The Eunuch's hands are indeed more delicate than a woman's."

Akahoshi understood what he meant; it was a sarcastic remark that he wasn't a real man.

Chi Xing lowered her eyes and looked at Qi Siyu's ears, which were gradually turning red, and silently curled her lips.

That's good, he remembered it.

Chi Xing quickly withdrew his hand, his expression vanishing, and he looked like a wronged little servant dutifully dressing His Highness the Crown Prince.

Then she knelt down and helped him put on his boots.

Her fair, delicate feet stood on the tiger-skin rug. Akahoshi couldn't resist reaching out and grasping her slender ankles after just one glance.

Qi Siyu didn't see his naked gaze, and simply cooperated by lifting her feet to put on her socks and boots.

Dressed neatly, Chi Xing helped Qi Siyu sit down at the table, opened the door and called out to Xiao Yezi.

When news of the Crown Prince's recovery spread, the guards in the outer palace returned to their original positions, and the inner palace of the Eastern Palace quickly returned to normal.

Little Yezi was surprised that His Highness recovered in less than ten days, and she admired the Grand Eunuch even more.

If only the Grand Eunuch could completely cure His Highness's illness.

The Crown Prince's palace has become accustomed to such changes occurring periodically, especially during the spring and autumn seasons when His Highness's illness lasts even longer.

This time it happened to be late autumn, and everyone thought that they would have to stay in the outer courtyard for half a month. Unexpectedly, His Highness recovered so quickly.

The steward of the Eastern Palace hurriedly came over to ask Qi Siyu whether he should call the imperial physician to take a look, or inform His Majesty and the Empress.

Qi Siyu refused all the offers. After the meal, Qi Siyu felt that her body was no longer in pain as before.

He knew he wasn't fully recovered, but this time he didn't feel as bad as when he woke up before.

Chixing had someone bring him a nourishing soup and placed it in front of him for him to drink.

Qi Siyu saw his fair and slender fingers and cursed inwardly: He really isn't a man; his fingers are so beautiful.

He started plotting something again and said, "You feed me."

Chi Xing lowered his head and said obediently, "Yes, sir."

Then he picked up a soup spoon and fed Qi Siyu the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
