Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

After thinking it over, he revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Your Majesty has no one in your harem, Your Majesty..."

"So my words mean nothing to Mo Qing? Or does Mo Qing intend to rule over me, the ruler of this country?"

This was the first time Mo Chonglin had heard so much from Chi Xing. In the past, Chi Xing would always listen to him as long as he said a few more words.

Why is it different this time?

"Your Majesty, I am only thinking of the imperial heir. Your Majesty should have children as soon as possible."

"Spreading branches and leaves? Mo Qing has certainly spread many leaves. Look, the memorials are full of those leaves impeaching you."

Chi Xing casually picked up a stack of memorials on the table impeaching Mo Chonglin for lax discipline and threw them forcefully at Mo Chonglin's face.

If it were any other minister, Chi Xing would never have done this, but the person in front of him was Mo Chonglin.

They raised three beasts who were worse than animals, and yet they still think about exonerating them.

"Your Highness Mo is not strict with your children, and even your daughter is ill-mannered. If I were you, I would not have the face to go out in public, let alone bring her into the palace?"

He angrily smashed another inkstone and said coldly:

"Get out. If you can't manage your family members in the future, the Ministry of Revenue has plenty of talented people."

Mo Chonglin lowered his head and dared not speak again. He did not expect the emperor to be angry, and he did not expect that so many people would impeach him.

He could only lower his voice and say, "Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."

After the group left, the eunuchs quietly cleaned up the mess on the ground.

Chi Xing turned around to hug Mu Zeyu, but Mu Zeyu dodged to the side, saying, "Your Majesty is becoming more and more handsome. No wonder the most beautiful woman in the Great Jin Dynasty is staring at Your Majesty."

"Tsk, this is so sour. Let me see who's been soaking in a vat of vinegar?"

Chi Xing moved closer to him, staring intently at Mu Zeyu's face.

Before Mu Zeyu got angry, he kissed her smooth face repeatedly.

Mu Zeyu turned around and gently pinched his cheeks, her expression unreadable.

"Your Majesty is not tempted? Those are three beauties."

"I only have feelings for you, Ayu. I heard that person likes you. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already starting to do so, huh?"

Despite having his cheeks pinched, Chi Xing's eyes were full of mockery, as if he was waiting for Mu Zeyu to give an explanation. If the explanation was not good, he would punish Mu Zeyu.

Now it was Mu Zeyu's turn to feel guilty. However, he hadn't done anything wrong, and after sensing the man's intentions, he immediately distanced himself.

"I have only met that person a few times. The first time was at a poetry gathering hosted by the Marquis of Yong'an. She wrote a rather interesting poem, but I only heard it from afar and did not speak to her."

Akahoshi curled her lip, thinking to herself: [What a shameless woman. She must have known where Ayu was to deliberately write down the ancient poems she had learned; they weren't her original works at all.]

He looked at Mu Zeyu with a resentful expression and asked, "So, you should have been able to talk to him when you met later, right?"

The tone of her voice suddenly changed, and Chi Xing said in a sarcastic tone: "The Regent is indeed handsome and talented, and he and the First Talented Woman are a perfect match."

Seeing that he was about to vomit, Mu Zeyu didn't dare tease him anymore and quickly hugged him to comfort him:

"No, I've never seen what she looks like. My heart and eyes can only hold one star."

Last time, I saw a carriage go out of control on the street and was about to hit the children playing by the roadside, so I asked Mu Yi to take control of her horse.

Later, when she came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion looking for her savior, I told her that Mu Yi had saved her and that she should thank Mu Yi.

"Xingxing, I really didn't say a single word to her, you have to believe me."

Akahoshi leaned on his shoulder, thinking to herself, "If I weren't sincere, Ayu wouldn't even kiss me anymore."

As soon as she finished thinking this, Mu Zeyu kissed her forehead, then her cheek and lips.

Akahoshi finally couldn't control his smile, and his eyes crinkled with laughter.

Mu Zeyu pinched his nose with a helpless expression, and only smiled when he saw that he wasn't angry:

"You bastard, you dare to lie to me?"

"It's all because Ayu didn't tell me anything. That woman must have been bothering you more than once. She was deliberately getting close to you."

Mu Zeyu thought about it and agreed with Chi Xing's words.

Actually, he didn't think anything of it at first, but several of his bodyguards were girls, and they said he couldn't get close to that woman to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

So when that person came to deliver the purse last time, Mu Zeyu had Mu Yi block it.

Fortunately, his female bodyguard was very alert; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to appease Xingxing so easily.

"From now on, I won't let anyone get too close. Star, you have to believe me."

Chi Xing gently bit Mu Zeyu's lip: "Then you mustn't overthink it, Ayu. I said I only like you and that won't change. You should believe me."

Knowing that Mu Zeyu lacked a sense of security, Chi Xing hugged and kissed him every day.

Despite his composed appearance, Akahoshi knows that this man is actually starved for love and insecure.

So he acted as if he depended on him, letting Mu Zeyu know that he couldn't live without him, giving him a sense of security that he was in control of everything.

...

After returning home, Mo Chonglin asked the family to discipline Mo Lanshan and beat her up. At that moment, he wished he could skin her alive.

"I've fed and clothed you well, and hired tutors for you all these years. Is this how you treat people? You slut."

He slapped Mo Lanshan again, causing blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth. She felt that one of her teeth was loose and her head was spinning.

"You should kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on your actions. You have completely disgraced the Mo family."

Mo Chonglin left quickly, leaving Mo Lanshan kneeling on the ground unattended.

Moranshan hated the world, her so-called father, and the regent.

It was clearly just a trivial matter, yet he actually helped the emperor.

There were rumors about her everywhere, and even the emperor, whom she looked down upon, disliked her.

Let alone marrying the regent or the emperor, even the noble families and earls probably wouldn't want someone like her this time.

Reputation was very important in this era, especially for women. She still hadn't found out who had driven her to that bandit mountain.

Tears streamed down her face. All she wanted was to travel to an ancient world and become an empress. Was that so difficult? Why was everyone targeting her?

Compared to Moranshan's mistake, her three brothers committed capital offenses.

Just half a month later, the regent presided over the executions, and all seven main culprits were sentenced to beheading and their heads displayed to the public.

During the parade, Chi Xing, disguised as a servant, rode in a carriage with Mu Zeyu.

Where were those spoiled brats who used to ride horses freely in the streets? Now they were all wearing tattered prison clothes, locked in cages, crying and begging for mercy with terrified expressions.

However, their crimes had long been exposed to the public, and everyone hated them. That's why most people gathered at Caishikou to watch the beheading.

The street where the people were being paraded was filled with people who threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into the men's baskets while shouting insults.

A woman's shrill cries could be heard; she was probably a relative of the victim.

Mu Zeyu gently covered Chi Xing's ears, afraid that he would be frightened by this scene for the first time.
