Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Forehead……"

The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated instantly, and Zhao Yuheng reluctantly removed his hand from her face.

"Star, you are my queen."

Zhao Yuheng only recognized this point, and the entire harem belonged to him, including the Empress.

Chi Xing laughed in anger, got off his lap, rolled into the bed, and said, "I am not worthy. Your Majesty, please send me back to Changqing Pavilion. But as you said, a spoiled brat like me is not worthy to live in Fengqi Palace."

Zhao Yuheng: ?

He took a deep breath: "Who told you that?"

Akahoshi curled his lip: "Who cares who said it? In short, it's because I'm not worthy of it."

The last few words were spoken with a sense of desolation, and if you listened carefully, there was even a slight tremor in his voice. Zhao Yuheng took a deep breath.

"I was wrong. I didn't know at the time."

He was unaware that he had fallen for Akahoshi within just a few days, to the point that he would tolerate her beatings and scoldings.

Just now, Chi Xing hit and scolded him, but Zhao Yuheng treated it as a minor squabble. He didn't find Chi Xing vulgar at all; instead, he thought Chi Xing was quite adorable.

Chi Xing's lips curled slightly, and Li Zhong's voice came from the doorway: "Your Majesty, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Earl of Changping request an audience."

"Wait here." Zhao Yuheng got up, straightened his clothes, and tugged at Chixing's blanket.

"I'll have dinner later. You should rest well."

Akahoshi closed his eyes and didn't respond, so it was unclear whether he had heard her or not.

Chi Xing opened her sharp eyes only after Zhao Yuheng's footsteps disappeared.

[Is Xiao Wu one of Zhao Linheng's men?]

250: [The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is his man, the Earl of Changping is not yet, but soon, the main characters will meet at Nanyun Temple, and the protagonist will fall in love with the other protagonist.]

[Due to the protagonist's strategic maneuvering, the Earl of Changping will side with him, and Zhao Linheng, who should be in his fiefdom, will occasionally sneak into the capital in order to consolidate his power.]

Inside the imperial study, the two knelt and bowed, but Zhao Yuheng raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities."

The red mark on his face had faded. Before the two men could speak, Zhao Yuheng whispered to Li Zhong, "Order the Imperial Kitchen to prepare some nourishing soup for the Empress."

He was so thin that he didn't even have the strength to hit someone.

If Akahoshi heard this, he would definitely want to prove his strength; he just couldn't bear to really fight.

However, back in the Heavenly Realm, this level of injury wouldn't be considered serious. They often fought fiercely, and injuries were common, with people returning home bruised and swollen. It was just a matter of taking a pill.

He gestured for his subordinates to speak. First, Zhu Qian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, spoke about official matters, and then the topic of selecting concubines came up.

Zhao Yuheng frowned: "All future talent shows are cancelled. I do not like women."

As he spoke these words with increasing fluency, Zhao Yuheng made no attempt to conceal his true intentions: "The coronation ceremony for the empress hasn't even been held yet, and you're already in a hurry to have me take concubines."

Zhu Qian insisted on his point of view: "The Empress is, after all, a man, and cannot bear children, Your Majesty..."

"There's no need to mention this again," Zhao Yuheng said, raising his hand to silence him.

Yang Peng, the Earl of Changping, seized the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, my son has long admired you and wishes to stay by your side."

Zhao Yuheng thought back to Yang Peng's son; if he could recruit people from the Earl's Mansion into the palace to counterbalance the Marquis's Mansion, it would be a good choice.

If Zhao Yuheng had met Chixing before, he might have agreed.

But things are different now.

The image of Akahoshi crying in his mind flashed through his mind. If someone were to really upset him, he would probably cry himself to death.

"You should keep your son at home. My heart belongs only to the Empress."

[Your Highness, listen, the Immortal Lord says he only has you in his heart.] 250 crouched in the corner, watching this scene.

While comforting someone: "Don't be angry anymore, he's already actively rejected other people."

Akahoshi: [When did I get angry? Am I such a petty person?]

A palace servant returned from outside and asked Akahoshi if he wanted to have dinner first.

"I'm not hungry, let's do it later."

"Yes." The man withdrew, and Chi Xing took out a piece of white jade and some tools from the system space and began to carve carefully.

"What? He refused?"

"Father, did you not explain this properly?"

Yang Jingyun was so angry that she forgot all about maintaining her usual well-behaved image. She stood up and threw a tantrum: "You definitely didn't explain it properly. His Majesty even has eyes for Chi Xing, how could he not like me?"

He believed that his figure after losing weight was perfect, and besides, he was more petite than Akahoshi and had a cute and innocent appearance. How could the emperor not like him?

In modern times, he was a bottom who had seen countless people. In order to better understand the lives of the rich, he even enrolled in a socialite training class.

He was 100% confident he could defeat an ancient emperor.

But now he's being told that he doesn't even have the basic qualifications to enter the palace and see the emperor. How can he not be angry?

Yang Peng slammed his hand on the table: "What are you saying? I went to the palace for your sake, and you dare to talk to me like that?"

He was a good-for-nothing back then, and since the old man only had one son, the title fell to him.

No one had ever dared to speak to him like that before, yet today he was being complained about by his own youngest son.

Yang Peng flicked his sleeve and mocked, "You don't even look at the state your mother has raised you into. It was one thing to be fat before, but you also spent your days going out and fooling around with your cronies."

Chen Qiuyue, who had just come out, heard him say this, her voice shrill: "Say that again, you old bastard?"

Yang Peng froze at the shout, then retorted with a stiff neck, "Was I wrong? It's you who spoiled him, he has no respect for his elders."

Chen Qiuyue's temper flared up, and she slapped him on the back of the head.

"Chen Qiuyue, don't go too far. I've been putting up with you for a long time." Yang Peng glared at her, his fists clenched tightly.

The brothers all said that he had a tigress at home who was always forbidding him from doing this and that, and he had long been fed up with her.

"I'm going too far? Did you go to the brothel again yesterday? I'll beat you to death."

Chen Qiuyue rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit him when Yang Peng couldn't dodge in time and her hair was grabbed.

Despite the pain, Yang Peng turned around sharply and slapped Chen Qiuyue hard across the face.

A woman's shrill scream echoed from inside the Earl's mansion, followed by chaos and commotion.

Yang Jingyun rolled her eyes and left, returning to her room to think of a solution.

【004, can you find out the Emperor's itinerary?】

004 is an artificial intelligence system, which in Yang Jingyun's hands is a cheat code: [Three days later, the Emperor will go to Nanyun Temple to pray for the Empress's well-being.]

Yang Jingyun kicked over the stool in front of him, furious: "What is it about Chi Xing that he likes?"

Ever since meeting the emperor, Yang Jingyun has often fantasized about turning him gay and winning him over.

But before he could even meet the emperor or break his vows, the emperor himself had already become gay.

This was originally a good thing, but why was Akahoshi chosen as the one to be crowned empress?

Yang Jingyun couldn't understand it. 004's mechanical voice was utterly devoid of warmth: "[Because Chixing is the protagonist of the story, the world will revolve around him.]"
