Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

With her other hand, she tried to force-feed him the medicine, but Akahoshi turned her head away, pursed her lips tightly, and refused to drink it no matter what.

The medicine wouldn't go down, and some even spilled onto the blanket.

Mu Zeyu's temper flared up. He took a sip from the medicine bowl, grabbed Chi Xing's chin to force him to face him, and quickly lowered his head to kiss him.

When the soft lips touched him, Mu Zeyu was stunned for a moment.

But since things had come to this, he was determined to force the medicine down the child's throat.

Akahoshi didn't expect Ayu to kiss him first, and for a moment he forgot to resist. The next second, his lips and teeth were pried open, and the bitter medicine spread in his mouth, making tears slide down Akahoshi's face.

"Well……"

Akahoshi felt both bitter and sweet, and her body was in terrible discomfort.

"I won't drink it, it's bitter..."

Mu Zeyu gave him no chance to escape. After the beginning, it became much easier. He took a sip himself and forced it into Chi Xing's mouth.

Chi Xing struggled to reach out and push Mu Zeyu, but her hand was held down and she couldn't pull it out at all.

He was so frustrated that his face turned red, his whole body felt hot, and his head was spinning.

This time she's really angry, the kind you can't appease.

Chi Xing really hates Mu Zeyu. That heartless man is going to marry another woman, so why is she bothering him now?

They forced him to drink bitter medicine and even kissed him on the lips.

Chi Xing glared at Mu Zeyu and said angrily, "Go marry your woman, what business is it of yours with me?"

He thought he was fierce, but in Mu Zeyu's eyes, he was just like an angry little fox, harmless and even a little cute.

Feeling a pang of heartache, Mu Zeyu simply hugged him and tried to reason with him. He said earnestly:

"I misspoke just now. In fact, I don't like men or women, and I guess I will grow old alone in the future."

Chi Xing was still angry, but she stopped struggling and obediently leaned against Mu Zeyu's chest.

She kicked the blanket off, saying, "It's so hot!"

Seeing his flushed face, Mu Zeyu reached out and touched his forehead, then called out to the door.

Physician Chen, who had been waiting outside, came in again to take Chi Xing's pulse. After a moment's thought, he said:

"The pool water is rather cool in the morning. Your Majesty has caught a cold. You must take good care of yourself. I will write another prescription."

Mu Shi took the prescription and personally went to get the medicine and brew it.

After all that fuss, Akahoshi was so tired that she fell asleep immediately, but her body suddenly started shivering from the cold.

Mu Zeyu ordered someone to bring a thicker blanket and wrapped Chi Xing up completely.

Everyone present was stunned. When did the Regent and His Majesty become so close?

I remember a few days ago, the Regent and His Majesty were at odds, and His Majesty was also timid as a mouse, and would even be too scared to look up when he saw the Regent.

The Regent was personally taking care of His Majesty, washing cloths with warm water and carefully wiping His Majesty's face and body.

Is this still the same regent who could scare children to tears with his stern face?

After wiping away the medicine that had dripped from Chixing's chin onto her chest, Mu Zeyu changed Chixing into a nightgown.

Before long, Chi Xing started sweating again, and Mu Zeyu lifted the blanket for him and wiped his sweat.

Akahoshi had a strange dream. In the dream, he was thrown into hot water one moment and into ice water the next. The worst part was that he was being held tightly by someone and had no strength to struggle.

His throat was dry and bitter from the discomfort, and he was shivering from the cold again. Then a warm touch embraced him, and he heard a familiar soothing voice in his ear.

"Xingxing, be good and open your mouth to drink your medicine."

Akahoshi exhaled, recalling the bitter taste of the medicine, and subconsciously turned her head away.

Two soft lips suddenly pressed against mine.

"Well……"

The bitter, warm medicine rushed into his mouth, and Akahoshi frowned and struggled, while one hand held the back of his head to restrain him.

The medicine had barely been swallowed when they fed me a second dose.

Akahoshi:! !

Ugh, this is so annoying.

The warmth on her lips paused for a moment before she continued to feed him the third dose of medicine.

Chi Xing was at his wit's end. He grabbed Mu Zeyu's collar, slowly opened his eyes, and was forced to drink the bitter medicine. He couldn't help but cough.

"Awake? If you feel unwell, you can tell me."

Akahoshi's mind went blank; he was genuinely sick.

Warm water was brought to his lips, and Mu Zeyu said, "Rinse your mouth."

Completely powerless to resist, Akahoshi did as instructed, for he too could not bear the taste of the bitter medicine.

250 watched as His Highness initially pretended to be sick, but later actually became sick, and at first he was a little anxious.

However, seeing that Mu Zeyu hadn't left all day and was diligently taking care of His Highness, 250 guessed that this must be His Highness's strategy.

Chi Xing was very agitated after his miscalculation. He felt dizzy and weak, and nestled silently in Mu Zeyu's arms.

"Star, is your head hurting?"

Mu Zeyu gently massaged his temples. When Mu Zeyu was a child, his mother would take care of him like this when he was sick.

I glanced out the window; it was already dark.

So, did Ayu take care of me here all day? He asked himself.

250 exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, as expected of Your Highness, it's indeed a brilliant strategy!"

Akahoshi:......

To save face, he wouldn't admit that this wasn't his strategy, and would just hum in acquiescence.

He felt a little better, but the thought of Mu Zeyu saying he would marry a woman in the future still made him feel bad.

Chi Xing didn't answer, and Mu Zeyu wasn't angry. He lowered his head, touched his forehead to Chi Xing's, and said softly:

"Yes, the fever has gone down."

Akahoshi stared at him with wide eyes. His face was thin, his lips were pale, and he looked pitiful.

[Such intimate actions, yet he's irresponsible; what a scumbag.]

Mu Zeyu had become somewhat immune to his thoughts. She picked up a bowl of porridge next to her, stirred it with a spoon, and fed it to Chi Xing.

"Eat something first."

Chi Xing took a bite, and Mu Zeyu fed him the rest.

Neither of them mentioned the audition tomorrow. They quietly finished their porridge. Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Akahoshi couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Are you planning to leave after I fall asleep?

Mu Zeyu showed no intention of leaving; in fact, he even had a soft couch moved aside, covered with pillows and blankets.

Seeing that Mu Zeyu was about to walk to the soft couch, Chi Xing grabbed his sleeve and said in a hoarse voice with an accusatory tone:

"Aren't you going to take responsibility?"

"What?" Mu Zeyu was taken aback by the question.

Akashi stared into his eyes: "You kissed me, don't you plan to take responsibility?"

She was angry inside: "He kissed me, does he still want to go find other women?"

If that's the case...

Mu Zeyu sat on the edge of the bed, his face revealing no emotion: "Your Majesty is a man. How does Your Majesty wish me to take responsibility?"

Akahoshi suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned in and gently bit his lip, glaring at him:

"Of course you'll stay with me, and you're not allowed to think about marrying another woman in the future."

After saying that, she quickly added, "No other man will do; you can only be with me."

Mu Zeyu reached out and gently pinched his cheek, seemingly unsurprised by his words, and began to talk about something else:

"It was I who killed your father, brothers, and sisters, Akahoshi. Do you know what it means to be with me?"
