Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Suddenly realizing what he had done, Qi Siyu immediately stepped back, feeling as if the deer in his heart was about to burst into flames.

Her ears were burning hot, but she couldn't bear to put Akahoshi down.

He... he made a lewd advance on Akashi!

Whenever Qi Siyu thought about this, he felt guilty towards this person.

Qi Siyu, who was always willful and reckless, would have his father and mother settle things for him no matter how big the matter was, but they would warn him not to harm the innocent at will.

One should never use one's status to hurt a girl.

But this time, he seemed to have forgotten all the rules and did something wrong.

Qi Siyu saw that Chi Xing showed no sign of waking up and struggled internally.

Or should we leave while he's unaware?

He, a short-lived crown prince, claimed responsibility for Chixing, which clearly harmed him.

After much deliberation, Qi Siyu showed no intention of letting go of Chixing.

He tightened his arms around the person.

Qi Siyu's arms were slightly numb after a while, and the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet over there was probably almost over.

Chi Xing opened her eyes and found herself in Qi Siyu's arms, looking confused.

His eyes widened, and he hurriedly pulled away from Qi Siyu's embrace, almost falling over in the process.

Qi Siyu quickly helped him up, and Chi Xing lowered his head and pulled his arm away from Qi Siyu's hand.

He hurriedly bowed to Qi Siyu, his voice hoarse: "This servant has offended Your Highness, please punish me."

Qi Siyu's heart was struck hard by his aloofness. When had Chi Xing ever been so humble?

This man had been by the side of the former governor since childhood. He was dull and uninteresting, and always taught him with a serious expression how to become a good crown prince.

Since that day at the East Palace, Akahoshi seems to have become a different person. Her identity and appearance haven't changed, but the feeling she gives off has.

Qi Siyu didn't understand why this was happening, but he had fallen for Chi Xing now.

"Get up and sit down." Qi Siyu couldn't stand him treating her like this.

Qi Siyu felt displeased that although the Crown Prince had been taking care of him in the East Palace for the past few days, he was now treated like a stranger.

Akahoshi obediently stood up, lowered his head, and remained silent.

This attitude infuriated Qi Siyu, who asked, "Why are you drinking here?"

Chi Xing did not answer, but said only, "This is my business. If it has disturbed Your Highness, I will find another place next time."

"Change locations? Does changing locations mean you'll just run into everyone's arms?"

Qi Siyu was furious and spoke without thinking. He quickly realized his words were wrong and tried to cover them up:

"I did not mean that."

Akahoshi didn't listen to his explanation, stood up, glanced at him indifferently, and took his leave.

"Chixing!" Qi Siyu called from behind, but Chixing seemed not to hear him and left with unsteady steps.

"Tsk, stubborn temper."

He didn't chase after them, but instead sent his bodyguards to follow. What if someone bullied someone because of his good looks?

Chi Xing noticed someone following him and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He knew he would soon be able to sleep with his wife in his arms.

Sure enough, the next day, the emperor summoned Chi Xing to the palace.

Emperor Qi sent Chi Xing to the Eastern Palace to teach the Crown Prince his studies. From then on, Chi Xing would only teach the Crown Prince and would no longer need to come to court every day.

Chi Xing agreed without changing his expression, and arrived at the gate of the East Palace the next day.

However, the carriage remained parked outside for a long time without the governor going in. Upon hearing this news, Qi Siyu's expression turned grim.

He sensed that Akahoshi seemed to dislike him and was even unwilling to enter the Eastern Palace.

In a daze, he remembered what he had said that day: "You are not allowed to come to the East Palace again."

Qi Siyu's brow twitched. So, was it because of that sentence that Chi Xing was like this?

Did she remember how she had made a suggestive move towards him at the Lakeside Pavilion?

The more Qi Siyu thought about it, the more confused she became; it seemed that this really was her fault.

Qi Siyu sighed, finished the tea in his cup, stood up, and walked out.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Chi Xing's carriage was parked not far away, and the steward of the East Palace was speaking beside him, seemingly urging the Grand Eunuch to enter.

Upon seeing Qi Siyu emerge, the steward immediately came forward to pay his respects.

"Your Highness, the Chief Eunuch said that you... you won't let us in... this..."

Qi Siyu waved his hand, telling him to move aside, and then stepped onto the carriage using the stirrups next to it.

He lifted the curtain and went inside. Akahoshi lay half-reclined on the soft couch, closing his eyes to rest.

Because there was a stove burning inside the carriage, it wasn't cold, so the man even opened his clothes, revealing half of his collarbone.

Qi Siyu was furious and went over to pull his collar up.

"Red Star!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it conveyed anger. Xiao Yezi, who was outside, heard the noise and immediately told the others to move away from the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Chi Xing opened her eyes and looked at Qi Siyu.

"Your Highness is out? Then let's begin class."

He took out books from a cabinet next to him, as if he were really going to give Qi Siyu a lesson here.

Qi Siyu grabbed his hand holding the book, her voice icy: "Come inside with me."

Chi Xing didn't struggle. He said, "But Your Highness said that this servant is not allowed to enter the East Palace anymore. How could Your Highness..."

"I regret it."

Qi Siyu loosened his grip on his wrist considerably and said again:

"Lord Eunuch, are you angry? Why?"

Chixing lowered his head and mumbled, "No, this servant is just Your Highness's dog, how dare I be angry?"

Hearing him say this, Qi Siyu remembered that these were words she herself had said, and her heart clenched painfully.

The Crown Prince, who was always feared by others, suddenly didn't know what to say. He had never coaxed anyone before, and even though he knew why Chixing was angry, he could only stand there staring blankly.

But he didn't say anything, and Chi Xing just sat there without going in with him. Qi Siyu wished he could go back to that day and slap himself hard a few times, telling him to teach Chi Xing a lesson for his rudeness.

Qi Siyu sat down next to Chi Xing and asked, "Then what do you want me to do to stop being angry?"

Akahoshi wouldn't be foolish enough to answer him directly, but instead said, "This servant is not angry."

"You lackey! All you know how to say is this! You're not allowed to call yourself a lackey!"

Qi Siyu clenched his fists, his emotions becoming unstable again, and he took a few deep breaths.

No, I can't lose control in front of Akahoshi, I can't.

Akahoshi noticed something was wrong with him and couldn't help but worry that she might have gone too far.

Just as he was about to coax her, Qi Siyu said, "It's my fault. As long as you're not angry, you can choose whatever you want in the East Palace, and you can come whenever you want, okay?"

This is His Highness the Crown Prince, when has he ever been so humble?

He has always been aloof and arrogant, and he doesn't even need a reason to kill people, but today he apologized to Akahoshi.

Akahoshi wasn't angry at all; he just wanted Ayu to love him a little more.

He didn't know what he was doing. He used to be the one pursuing Ayu, but he wasn't sure if Ayu would like him for every fragment of the Heavenly Soul.

This time he was being unreasonable. He's not a seasoned player in love and doesn't know what to do.

The methods I used a few days ago were more or less based on the notes from the 250 strategy guide.

Unexpectedly, Qi Siyu was willing to do this.
