Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

If they had followed Chi Xing to the Eastern Palace back then, not to mention whether they would have been given important positions by His Highness the Crown Prince, even just one of these gifts would have been enough for them to squander for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, there's no going back. Apart from the few eunuchs who were beaten to death, everyone else was given a beating.

The board had just been put back in place when they heard the news that Akahoshi had been chosen. They couldn't have been more regretful.

Murong Yu prepared a separate storeroom for Chi Xing to store his belongings.

As the shelves gradually filled up, Akahoshi followed behind the palace servants, her eyes sparkling, touching this and that.

"Do you like them? These are all yours. If it's not enough, I have plenty more. Xingxing can go and get them."

Akahoshi smiled at him, expressing her affection.

Her previously pale complexion has finally regained some color after resting in the Eastern Palace for some time.

Murong Yu gently pinched his cheek, thinking to himself that he should fatten him up a bit. A chubby little guy would be cute, just like the soft, fluffy kittens he used to have.

Once Akahoshi's health has gradually recovered, he should be able to go back to class.

His Highness the Crown Prince's study companion is named Cheng Hu, the second son of the General of the Cavalry, and he is ten years old this year.

Cheng Hu appeared in the original text and later served as Murong Yu's right-hand man, along with his elder brother Cheng Feng.

Unfortunately, Cheng Feng was assassinated by Murong Tuo's men after discovering Chi Ge's identity.

Cheng Hu followed Murong Yu to the battlefield. After Murong Yu was captured, Chi Ge made him the first target and beheaded him in public.

Last time, when Chixing went to class, Cheng Hu wasn't there, but this time they ran into each other.

A young boy with tanned skin appeared in front of Akahoshi, dressed in a black outfit, and looked him up and down.

Chi Xing took two steps back and timidly hid behind Murong Yu.

"Hey? Whose child are you? Why do you have to go to school at such a young age? Your parents are really mean."

Murong Yu stood in front of Chi Xing and gave Cheng Hu a cold glance.

"Liu Shijiang will be doing a memorization test later."

Cheng Hu's smile vanished instantly, and he took off running towards his desk, yelling, "Ahhh, help!"

Before long, Liu Shijiang entered the room. He first led everyone to read through the content to be learned next, and then began to quiz them on yesterday's content.

As expected, Cheng Hu was chosen. Because he couldn't recite it, he stood at the back of the room with his book, feeling wronged.

Because Akahoshi is a "little mute," he is never called on and can only watch others with a smile while they are terrified.

The next person to be called on was Murong Yu. Chi Xing was so startled that he squeezed his hand. Murong Yu squeezed his hand back and then stood up.

This was clearly no challenge for him; he quickly memorized it and sat down smoothly. However, after sitting down, he remarked:

"It would be better to have everyone recite it once, since it's knowledge that needs to be memorized anyway."

Liu Shijiang paused in his hand holding the book, then nodded: "Alright."

Chi Xing saw that Murong Tuo had an ugly expression and was called up, and because he couldn't recite it, he was made to stand at the very back.

This is the Hongwen Hall, where all students are treated equally. Even princes who cannot recite the text have no choice but to accept their punishment.

Ignoring Murong Tuo's angry gaze, Murong Yu gently squeezed Chi Xing's hand, as if asking him, "How was it? Did you feel better?"

Chixing returned his sweet smile, turned the page of her book, and listened attentively to Liu Shi's lecture.

During lunch, Murong Tuo banged on the tables and chairs, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Ignore everyone else and focus on your food."

Murong Yu fed Chi Xing a spoonful of rice, which Chi Xing ate.

He'd figured it out over the years; Murong Yu loved to feed him, and sometimes Chi Xing didn't even have to lift a finger—the food would already be right in front of him.

She doesn't even have to dress herself when she gets up early; Murong Yu never asks anyone to do it for her and does everything for Chi Xing.

Living a life of ease and comfort, Akahoshi's health improved significantly, and some flesh grew on his thin face.

The Fourth Prince Murong Zhan and the Fifth Prince Murong Hao always tried to pinch his face, so Chi Xing quickly hid behind Murong Yu whenever he saw them.

When Chixing began his calligraphy lessons, he would hold the brush and write, but his writing was always crooked and uneven, which made Murong Yu want to laugh.

Whenever the instructor assigned him writing homework, Murong Yu would first teach him how to write it by hand.

At the desk, Murong Yu stood behind Chi Xing, holding his small hand and guiding him to write stroke by stroke.

In the summer, Akahoshi wore thicker clothes than others and practiced archery under the sun.

On the other side, Murong Yu was practicing archery on horseback. The young man was riding on horseback when the target in front of him suddenly moved.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," several arrows were fired, followed by Wu Fuzi's hearty laughter:

"Good, Your Highness has hit the bullseye."

Ayu was stunned. Chixing stopped practicing, dropped his bow and arrows, and ran over to greet Murong Yu.

Murong Yu dismounted and searched the playground for the little boy, who was indeed running this way.

He quickened his pace and was almost upon the target when an arrow shot towards Chixing from a distance.

"Your Highness, be careful!" 250 exclaimed in his mind.

Akahoshi's small body was clumsy, so in order to avoid being hit, he rolled on the spot and rolled directly down the low slope.

"Star!"

Murong Yu disregarded everything else and ran after him.

The sharp arrow was stuck straight in the ground where Chi Xing had just stood. Cheng Hu saw who had shot the arrow, dismounted, ran up to the man, and kicked him to the ground.

"You bitch... How dare you injure people with arrows! I'll beat you to death!"

After saying that, she pounced on him and punched him twice in the face.

"Hey, I didn't mean to, why did you hit me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked twice in the legs. Murong Hao said angrily, "You're finished. Your brother, the Crown Prince, will beat you to death."

Murong Zhan's fist had already landed on the man, and he didn't care who it was, he just kept howling:

"If you dare kill Akahoshi, I'll beat you to death."

"Waaaah, I won't do it again, please don't hit me, waaaah..."

The group ignored him until Murong Tuo walked over and coldly rebuked them: "Enough, stop! Who gave you permission to hit people?"

His companion behind him was replaced by Wang Qi, the eldest son of the Vice Minister of Rites, who was also related to the Luo family.

Seeing this, Wang Qi stepped forward and pulled the group apart, during which he was punched twice by Cheng Hu, which angered him so much that he shouted:

"Stop! This is the Prince An's heir! You're hitting the Prince An's heir!"

This shout startled Cheng Hu, and in that moment of surprise, several eunuchs stepped forward and separated the group.

"Zirui, are you alright? They went too far."

The second prince gently wiped An Zirui's face with a handkerchief. His father was a prince of a different surname, and as the legitimate son of the Prince of An, An Zirui had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered such grievances.

He couldn't help but burst into tears: "I...I quit! I want...I want to find my mother...Waaah..."

Murong Hao frowned, glaring at him: "Hmph, you killed someone and then blamed your mother? I'll get my mother to beat your mother to death too."

"belch!"

An Zirui was so frightened by his loud voice that he started to cry and hiccup. He thought to himself that he couldn't let his mother be beaten to death, and tears kept flowing down his face.
