Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

As he spoke, he turned and went into the house. Inside, Yang Jingyun was covered in charred sores, crying out in pain, his face smeared with tears.

The servant bowed his head and said, "The imperial physicians have all been summoned by the Empress to take the pulse, and the eldest young master is still waiting in the palace."

"what?"

"How could this be? There are so many imperial physicians, how could he monopolize them all?" Chen Qiuyue was furious.

The thought that the current empress was Chi Xing, Xu Lingwei's youngest son, made her even angrier.

"He must have done it on purpose, right? He just doesn't want my Yun'er to be happy."

The servant lowered his head and remained silent. Upon hearing this, Yang Jingyun, who was suffering in bed, was so angry that he almost fainted.

But he just couldn't faint; he could only endure the pain until the Earl's mansion sent a doctor from outside.

250 and the little robot were in Fengqi Palace, watching the palace servants bustling about. Imperial Physician Liang was taking Chixing's pulse, and the other imperial physicians were kneeling beside him listening.

After a moment's hesitation, under Zhao Yuheng's worried gaze, Physician Liang said, "The young master probably caught a chill last night, but it's not a serious problem, Your Majesty, please don't worry."

With his words, Zhao Yuheng relaxed and decided that he would make sure to cover Chixing with a blanket at night from now on.

After hesitating for a moment, Physician Liang said again, "It's cold in winter, so it would be better for the young master to take a shorter bath."

These were considered euphemistic words, but Zhao Yuheng's ears burned upon hearing them.

After each workout, Akahoshi would carry him to the hot spring, where they would stay for most of the day, as Akahoshi was not in good health.

"Okay, go and prepare the medicine."

Akahoshi said with a pained expression, "Ayu, I don't think I need to take the medicine."

Zhao Yuheng objected: "It's cold, so it's good to take precautions."

"Yes."

Physician Liang went to the side to carefully write down the prescription. This minor cold was nothing serious; as long as one rested and drank plenty of warm water, there would be no problem.

250: [Hehe, Your Highness really knows how to handle this. Yang Jingyun is going to be in pain for a long time now.]

This lightning was sent down by the heavens, and it struck Yang Jingyun.

"By the way, why did they have to go outside to fetch a doctor? Where is the Earl's physician?" Akahoshi asked casually.

250: [A few days ago, the prefectural doctor examined the injuries Yang Peng and his wife sustained in their fight. Feeling ashamed because he knew too much, the couple sent the doctor back to their hometown.]

[So, this is what happens when you reap what you sow, hahaha!] 250 laughed wildly.

004 slowly typed a question mark, not understanding why 250's laughter was so... strange.

250: [Because this makes him look more like a villain when he laughs. The little system should be happy like a villain, not just focused on completing tasks.]

004 Silence: That makes a lot of sense.

So, under 250's guidance, 004 burst into loud laughter.

The imperial physician arrived at the Earl's mansion in the afternoon. By then, Yang Jingyun had already been cleaned by the servants and had no obvious injuries, but he was in pain all over.

The doctor we called in couldn't find anything wrong and just prescribed some painkillers.

Inside the palace, Akahoshi was forced to lie on the bed and drink medicine.

"Drink it, and you're not allowed to kiss me until you finish it." Zhao Yuheng's words were incredibly cruel.

Akahoshi looked at him as if he were a faithless man, and pouted, "Ayu, don't you love me anymore?"

Zhao Yuheng sighed, snatched the bowl from Chixing's hand, drank a mouthful of the black medicine, and kissed Chixing's lips.

The bitter medicine was passed over, and Akahoshi was forced to drink it all. After finishing the whole bowl of medicine, both of them had a bitter taste in their mouths.

Zhao Yuheng brought him some water to rinse his mouth, and then put a candied fruit into Chixing's mouth.

"Star, tell me, do I love you?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yuheng reached out and pinched Chixing's chin, his voice magnetic yet slightly hoarse.

That slightly raised "hmm?" made Akahoshi's heart itch even more.

Pulling Zhao Yuheng's clothes to make him sit on the edge of the bed, Chi Xing kissed him again.

In a daze, Akahoshi said, "Love, I know Ayu loves me the most."

Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, Zhao Yuheng covered Chi Xing's mouth, pressed him down, and then covered him with a blanket.

Akahoshi was puzzled and looked distressed, as if to say: Don't you really love me anymore?

Zhao Yuheng laughed and flicked Chixing's forehead: "Have you forgotten what the imperial physician said? Do less of that lately to avoid catching a cold again, Xingxing, we need to be moderate."

Akahoshi:! !

The sky over Chixing has collapsed.

"No, I'm really fine, Ayu. I could kill a tiger right now."

Unfortunately, Zhao Yuheng simply went along with him, praising him with a smile: "Yes, my Xingxing is the most powerful. Let alone one tiger, even two or three, my Xingxing can take them down."

Akahoshi:......

He tried to get up, but Zhao Yuheng pressed him back down, tucked him in, and said:

"Go take a nap, I have something to take care of."

Akahoshi:......

He looked at Zhao Yuheng with pitiful eyes, trying to change his mind.

However, Zhao Yuheng lowered his head and kissed his forehead before turning around and leaving without looking back.

Red Star: TT

Ah Yu is so heartless.

As Zhao Yuheng sat down in the outer room, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[The Purple Star has been detected. System 004 requests binding. After binding, it will assist you in your future victories.]

Zhao Yuheng frowned slightly. He looked around but found nothing unusual. Suddenly, a small monster that looked like a human but wasn't actually a human appeared in his mind.

He didn't know what it was, and directly asked in his mind: "What are you talking about?"

004 took out a gift from her small space: "This is a bottle of elixir that can cure all poisons. It's a gift from the leader to you."

You are the protagonist of this book. To prevent you from being usurped by villains, the system will help you avoid all dangers and difficulties.

Zhao Yuheng extracted useful information from these words.

[How can you be so sure I'm the protagonist? No one in the court can challenge my authority, how could anyone possibly usurp the throne? Don't try to fool me, you little brat.]

He seemed completely unconcerned, casually continuing with the task at hand.

Faced with the accusations, 004 revealed everything: "Of course, the Emperor is capable of knowing all this. The usurper is your younger brother, Zhao Linheng, and he will soon gather his forces to attack you."

Zhao Yuheng seemed thoughtful, then shook his head with a smile: "How can I believe what you say is true? I have no ability to foresee the future. Besides, Zhao Linheng is now a pariah; who would support him?"

004 blinked and said decisively: "You don't have the ability to foresee the future, but I do. He's a pariah now, but his former subordinates are still in Linzhou City. They've been cooperating with the Gao Man Kingdom for years, and the Gao Man Kingdom is now militarily strong."

[Once you're bound to 004, you'll be my host. We'll be interdependent for life, and no matter what dangers we face in the future, the system will help you.]

Zhao Yuheng remained silent, his gaze lowered as he wrote something on the paper. The little robot floated over and took a look, its blue eyes widening in surprise.

How did you know?

[No, you lied to me about it.] 004 was learning about the wickedness of human nature for the first time.
