Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

250: [Yang Jingyun is the young master of the Earl's family, and his status in the family is the same as yours. However, he has six older brothers, which Chen Qiuyue has always been proud of, believing that she can have more children than Xu Lingwei.]

Akahoshi:......

His mother gave birth to four children, and he felt sorry for them all. He would add medicinal herbs to the tea his mother drank. If she had given birth to more than four, given the medical conditions in ancient times, Chixing dared not even think about it.

250: [Yang Jingyun didn't initially like the emperor. It was at a palace banquet that he fell in love with him at first sight, and he went to great lengths to enter the palace.]

"You mean, Ayu will agree to let him enter the palace?" Chixing's eyes narrowed slightly, a surge of anger spreading through him.

250 fanning the flames: [Yeah, the immortal ruler of this world is a major villain. He doesn't have anyone he likes; he just wants to keep the ministers' sons by his side to shut them up.]

[Your Highness, you don't know, but in the original story, the Immortal Lord had three thousand concubines, almost all of whom were men.]

With a "crack," the wooden comb that Akahoshi was holding broke in two.

"Oh, Xing'er, what are you doing, child?"

Lady Hou pried his hand open to check, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was not injured: "Were you too nervous? It's alright, it's alright. We're not even sure if we'll be able to see His Majesty."

Akahoshi: ...That hurts, Mom.

"Mother, what if His Majesty takes a concubine?"

Lady Hou understood: "So that's what you're worried about. Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution for you, as long as you can consummate your marriage with His Majesty..."

She took a booklet from the old woman behind her, handed it to Chixing, and whispered, "Take this booklet with you into the palace and study its contents."

She patted Akahoshi's head and said, "Things between men aren't that simple. If you really can't stand it, write home and I'll ask your grandfather to rescue you."

Chi Xing's maternal grandfather, who is also Xu Lingwei's father, was a former Grand Tutor. He has now resigned from his official position in the court and teaches at the Imperial Academy, occasionally giving a class or two.

Chi Xing hugged Lady Hou and said, "Thank you, Mother."

The mother in this small world is still very kind. Akahoshi thought of the original story, where his mother was met with the cold corpse of her youngest son.

250: [In the original story, Chi Xing was murdered in the palace. Because of the cover-up arranged by the protagonist Zhao Linheng, the cause of his death was not found out.]

In order to investigate the cause of their youngest son's death, the Chi family sent people into the palace to investigate. However, all the evidence they found pointed to the emperor, and the Chi family began to hate the villainous emperor Zhao Yuheng.

The protagonist, before the Aka family, brought news of Akahoshi's death to the border. After confirming Akahoshi's death, Akahoshi hurried back to the capital to seek justice.

Taking advantage of the information gap, the transmigrator Yang Jingyun helped the Earl's Mansion suppress the Chi family. Together with Zhao Linheng, they forged letters showing that the Chi family had close ties with the enemy country. The Marquis's Mansion was accused of treason and collusion with the enemy. The emperor ordered the confiscation of the property and all members of the Chi family were imprisoned.

Chi Yang disguised himself and entered the city, just in time to witness this scene. Chi Yuan died protecting his wife. The Lady Hou, who was already terminally ill due to the death of her youngest son, did not survive this time and passed away as well.

Chi Wang and Chi Yun were arrested during the day, and the Marquis's mansion collapsed overnight. Instigated by Zhao Linheng, Chi Yang joined his side.

250: [He didn't know that all of this was part of Yang Jingyun and Zhao Linheng's plan.]

Ultimately, the Chi family became the key to their capture of the imperial city, but the three Chi brothers also died in the war.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the villain Zhao Yuheng escaped. Now, having learned the whole story, Zhao Yuheng rallied his former troops and attacked Zhao Linheng, who had already occupied the capital.

[It was all in vain. He was just a villain, and everything he did was merely the fuse for the main characters to fall in love.]

Akahisa raised an eyebrow: "So, Aya is my enemy?"

250: [In the original plot, it should be pretty much the same, but he ordered the confiscation of his property, and it was Zhao Linheng's men who impersonated government soldiers and killed Marquis Xuanping.]

After realizing something was wrong, Zhao Yuheng protected your second and third brothers, which led to the three brothers meeting on the battlefield.

Zhao Linheng personally killed your second brother. Before your eldest brother realized he had been tricked, Zhao Linheng's men attacked from behind and killed him as well.

……

As dawn broke, a luxurious carriage appeared at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.

Li Zhong stood beside the carriage, smiling as he greeted everyone from the Marquis's residence: "My lord, this servant has come to escort Her Majesty the Empress back to the palace."

Akahoshi changed into a red dress, her long hair, which was originally loose, was tied back with a red ribbon. Her face was covered with a light layer of powder, her lips were light pink, and her head was slightly lowered, so her expression was not visible.

"Xing'er, once you enter the palace, you must obey His Majesty's orders. If anything happens, have Afu deliver a message..."

Lady Hou held Chixing's hand and gave him instructions. Chixing nodded in agreement without any impatience.

"Madam, the time has come," Li Zhong kindly reminded her.

Akahoshi boarded the carriage to enter the palace. However, although the carriage looked luxurious on the outside, the seats inside were hard and the cushions were very thin.

Compared to the harsher conditions of the past, this was already much better, Akahoshi comforted herself.

After being jostled around for a while, Chi Xing was getting a little impatient, but he endured it because he knew he would see A Yu when he got to the palace.

When the carriage arrived at the palace and came to a stop, Li Zhong's voice rang out again: "Your Majesty, we have arrived."

Akahoshi quickly straightened his clothes, endured the soreness all over his body and got out of the car, but as far as the eye could see, apart from the desolate palace, there were only a few palace servants waiting on the side.

Based on Akahoshi's many years of experience, this is definitely not a place for a dignified empress to live.

Before he could even ask, Li Zhong said, "His Majesty has important business to attend to and has not come. This inner palace has been uninhabited for a long time. Currently, this is the only palace available for living. Your Highness can make do here for now. Once the Phoenix Palace is completed, Your Highness can move there."

"These are the people His Majesty has appointed. Your Highness can use them for now. If you need anything else, just have the head eunuch, Xiao Yezi, contact the Imperial Household Department."

Akahoshi: "Did His Majesty say when he would be coming?"

Li Zhong bowed: "I never said that."

"I know, let's go."

With a cold expression, Akahoshi turned and went into the somewhat dilapidated bedroom in front of him.

Everyone dispersed, and Afu closed the door, angry on behalf of Chixing:

“Young master, they are going too far. This place is far worse than the one you stayed at the Marquis’s residence.”

Although the tables, chairs, benches, and beds were all clean, the place was small and old, that was a fact. This was hardly a place for an empress to live.

This was clearly a place for concubines of low rank. Chi Xing didn't say anything and lay down on the bed to sleep.

"Go out and keep watch; no one else is allowed to come in."

*

In the magnificent palace, the man sat on a gilded dragon throne, listening to Li Zhong's report below.

"He didn't smash anything? He didn't swear?"

Li Zhong: "As His Majesty instructed, we took a longer route and found a bumpier road, but the Empress did not complain at all along the way."

Zhao Yuheng felt guilty, as if he had done something wrong, but he had no idea what it was.

"In that case, let him stay there and not come to me unless necessary."
