Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi lay on a recliner with a palace servant holding an umbrella behind him. It was more like he was out in the courtyard to sleep than to sunbathe.

【Ayu is so busy.】

After a short while, Chi Xing couldn't stand it any longer. He told the palace servants to step back and walked over to Mu Zeyu's side.

[A relationship should act like a relationship; why is Ayu so career-oriented?]

Mu Zeyu stared at the memorial for a moment, then wrote a reply below.

Chi Xing glanced at it. The gist of the memorial was: The lotus flowers in the south are blooming well, and the jade bamboo shoots dug out are crisp and sweet. Should someone be sent to the prince? How many does the prince need?

Below is Mu Zeyu's reply: Hmm, I'll see how I send it.

Recalling the sweet taste of lotus root, Akahoshi couldn't help but think: [Lotus root sandwiches are indeed delicious, as are pork trotter and lotus root soup, stir-fried lotus root, lotus root starch cakes, lotus seed soup, and lotus seed sweet soup.]

Mu Zeyu paused in his grip on the brush, then added a line: "I want both the jade bamboo shoots and the lotus seeds."

"Does Your Majesty like to eat lotus seeds?" he asked.

Chi Xing was a little confused, then heard Mu Zeyu say, "Your Majesty likes to eat it, so I had them send more over."

Akahoshi was filled with questions. As if he had thought of something, his eyes darted around, and he turned his head slightly behind him, thinking to himself:

Of course I like it! Does Ayu like lotus seed soup?

Mu Zeyu, with his head down, didn't notice anything amiss and casually replied, "Yes, I'm not picky about food."

Akahoshi:! !

He almost held his breath, not daring to think any further, and then he thought to himself:

Are there any jade shoots in the lotus pond?

Jade shoots are another name for lotus roots. Mu Zeyu took out a memorial and replied, "No, these are all ornamental lotuses. The jade shoots that grow from them are not tasty."

"Oh." This time, Akahoshi spoke with his mouth.

"I'm tired, I'm going back to lie down for a while."

After saying that, he walked into the bedroom as if nothing had happened.

He shielded himself with layer upon layer of divine power before speaking to 250 in his mind:

Can Ayu hear my thoughts?

Still in shock, 250: [The system doesn't record Mu Zeyu having this ability.]

Mu Zeyu's reaction just now didn't lie. Chi Xing sat on the bed, recalling whether she had said anything strange.

Having already caught a cold, and feeling drowsy after taking the medicine, Akahoshi simply lay in bed and thought.

Then, while thinking about it, he fell asleep without noticing that Mu Zeyu came in to cover him with a blanket.

He then moved the table and chairs aside and continued reviewing the memorials.

When Akahoshi woke up, 250 reported: "[The Mo family, along with several military generals, plans to make things difficult for Mu Zeyu at tomorrow's morning court session.]"

Chi Xing didn't rush to answer, but opened her eyes and saw Mu Zeyu not far away.

Noticing he was awake, the two looked at each other, and Mu Zeyu smiled faintly.

"Get up when you wake up. I'll have someone bring lunch."

"Okay, sure." Chi Xing rubbed her eyes, and Mu Zeyu handed her a glass of warm water.

【Ayu is so thoughtful.】

His gaze fell on Mu Zeyu's hands, and he thought to himself:

[It looks so white, I really want to touch it.]

Mu Zeyu's fingers seemed to have been burned by something, and he coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, please have some water first."

Chi Xing took the water, his hand seemingly unintentionally touching Mu Zeyu's fingers, and a sigh escaped his lips:

[It feels so good to touch, I wish I could kiss it]

Before he could finish his thought, Mu Zeyu's clear, cold voice came from beside him: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."

"Oh? Oh, let's go together."

Chi Xing stared at Mu Zeyu's retreating figure, continuing to think to herself:

[Your ears are already red from just a touch of your hand; what will happen if we kiss somewhere else next time? They'll be even redder!]

250: [Your Highness, you two have already kissed.]

Akahoshi: [You don't understand, that was feeding her medicine. Next time I'm going to kiss Ayu properly.]

As Mu Zeyu's ears grew increasingly red, Chi Xing couldn't help but curl her lips upwards, thinking to herself:

Sigh, I'm still too weak. I need to start training soon so I can bring happiness to Ayu as soon as possible.

Mu Zeyu wished he were deaf, wondering what Xingxing was thinking.

Sitting at the table, Chi Xing stopped overthinking and ate quietly, which made Mu Zeyu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After eating almost all of it, Akahoshi started again:

[Does Ayu eat so little? No wonder her waist is so thin.]

Mu Zeyu: ...

He sighed deeply. It was enough for Xingxing to have her own wild thoughts; he couldn't let her follow suit.

[Your lips are so moist, I want to kiss them.]

[I've wanted to kiss it for ages. I didn't even get a chance to taste it properly when I gave it to you. It must be so sweet.]

After holding back for a while, Mu Zeyu asked, "Is Your Majesty full?"

Akahoshi put down her teacup and nodded, but what she was thinking was: [It would be even better if I could eat something else.]

Mu Zeyu really didn't expect that the innocent little emperor had such a heart.

But regarding what he was thinking...

"His Majesty."

"Ok?"

Akahoshi looked at him in confusion, his handsome face magnified before her eyes, and a soft touch pressed against her lips.

So soft.

Mu Zeyu gently pressed his lips to his and was about to pull away when Chi Xing's hands quickly wrapped around his waist, deepening the kiss.

At this moment, he hated that he was shorter than Mu Zeyu.

*

The next day, Chi Xing got up when Mu Zeyu got up.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Mu Zeyu asked.

Yesterday's kiss brought the two closer. Chi Xing reached out and tugged at Mu Zeyu's robe, and Mu Zeyu leaned in and gave him a serious kiss on the lips.

Her voice was gentle: "His Majesty's illness is not fully recovered yet, please sleep a little longer."

Chi Xing shook his head: "Let's go to court together. We haven't been there for so many days, some people are starting to make wild guesses."

He insisted on going, and Mu Zeyu had a dragon robe sent over.

He personally picked up the black robe embroidered with a golden dragon and helped Akahoshi put it on.

The size had clearly been altered; unlike the previous day when it was wrinkled and crooked, this one was perfectly straight, and even though Akahoshi was a bit thin, it still gave him the air of a king.

Coupled with Akahoshi's own imposing presence, he exudes an aura of authority even when he is silent. His well-proportioned physique, even when he is thin, gives him an indescribable imperial majesty.

This was something Mu Zeyu had never seen in previous emperors, and at this moment, he was even more certain that the person in front of him was not a dog emperor.

Akahoshi gave him a sweet smile, her starry eyes curving into crescents, and her neat row of teeth shining brightly.

He couldn't help but lean over and give Akahoshi's lips a light peck: "Let's go."

After taking a few steps, Mu Zeyu added, "However, you're not allowed to laugh like that in front of other people later."

Akahoshi obediently agreed, thinking to herself: [If I smile at someone else, will Ayu get jealous? What will happen if she does?]

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Mu Zeyu, who was imagining what she would do if Chi Xing smiled at someone else.

He wanted to lock the young emperor up, right there on the dragon bed, forbidding him from going anywhere or seeing anyone else.

Chixing was unaware that Ayu was trying to lock him up again. He used his divine power to block out his thoughts and frantically searched for medicine that could make him grow taller in his space.

[Xiao Wu, I advise you to find a way to make me grow taller quickly, otherwise...]

250: Damn it, what kind of mess is this?
