Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Where did they go back to?" Akahoshi asked.

250: [Mengcheng, expected to return to the royal city in three days. By the way, Cang Linye went this time too, but...]

At this point, 250's rolling eyes revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

After washing up, Akahoshi sat down at the dining table to eat: [Tell me, what happened?]

250 burst out laughing, letting Akahoshi see the scene over there.

This was the first time Akahoshi had learned of his ability. Once she realized it, she immediately said, "First, let me see what Ayu is doing. Is he hooking up with anyone else?"

The little black cat jumped off the carriage and flew towards the rider at the front. He was dressed in a majestic black and red riding outfit in the style of the Northern Kingdom. When Akahoshi saw that handsome face, his appetite increased.

[Immortal... Cang Linyu is here, isn't he handsome?]

Akahoshi: [Beautiful and delicious. 】

[Xiao Wu, I didn't know you had this ability, and you didn't tell me.]

250 Your Highness has forgotten this.

He thought to himself, "His Highness has no memory and knows nothing except that he has a big appetite. He doesn't even know how to use his divine power."

So much so that on that day, unable to break free of the chains, 250 couldn't help but wonder, if His Highness had divine power, in that locked-up situation, would he break the chains and pounce on the Immortal Lord, or would he pretend that he couldn't resist and let the Immortal Lord do whatever he wanted?

250 feigned profundity: 【Hmm, that's a good question.】

Akahoshi didn't delve into it further. After watching Ayu ride her horse for a while, Akahoshi asked again, "Where is my elder sister?"

250 climbed onto another carriage without complaint. It was Feng Qiguo's carriage. The young man riding the first horse looked somewhat familiar, but Chi Xing ignored him and stared at the carriage instead.

This is Chi Yanlan's carriage; she's inside.

250 covered the camera and entered the carriage himself. He saw her sitting upright on the soft couch, holding a book in her hand, before showing it to Akahoshi.

[Your Highness, my elder sister is so beautiful! No wonder that man has been longing for her for two lifetimes.]

Akahoshi: [What do you mean, two lifetimes?]

Something burst forth from the ground, connecting various points that differed from the original plot, causing Akahoshi to frown.

In the original storyline, the princess did not come to Zhanbei Kingdom at all; the person who orchestrated her arrival this time was Cang Linye.

In the original story, Cang Linye did not deliberately come to capture him, nor did he say that he would send him back to Fengqi Kingdom, and he even said that he couldn't bear to see him not doing well.

These things weren't in the original story. Besides, he was later ordered to be killed by Cang Linye, so why would he kindly save him from the Linwang Mansion?

Akahoshi initially thought it was just a butterfly effect from not following the original plot, but now it seems that's not the case.

250: [You think he's weird too, right?]

Akahoshi: [So, he has a system like me and knows the original plot?]

250 shook its head, glanced at the message Bai Er had just sent saying he was in a meeting, and, ignoring the natural order of this world, said:

[Does Your Highness know about rebirth? Retaining memories of a past life, returning to a younger body.]

Akahoshi: [So he knows everything that happened in the original storyline, and experienced it firsthand, even dying once and starting over.]

250: [That's right, Cang Linye wants to pursue Chi Yanlan again, he still wants to pursue you, and he wants to stage a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" drama.]

The little black cat suddenly said solemnly, "In his past life, he killed her. Now that he's been given a second chance, he vows to cherish her. If she tries to escape, he will chase after her; they will never be able to escape."

Akahoshi:......

How disgusting.

This was the first time in his life he had ever hated someone so much. If he knew the original plot, he wanted to protect Ayu and prevent his elder sister from getting acquainted with Cang Linye, and hand Cang Linye over to Ayu to deal with.

At that moment, he wished he could kill Cang Linye himself. Recalling the way Cang Linye looked at him during those days at the First Prince's residence, Chi Xing felt a little nauseous.

250: [Don't even mention it, this time Cang Linye and Chi Yanlan have turned into a sweet romance, the kind of "wife-chasing-after-the-wives-in-a-lifetime" story everyone loves.]

Akahoshi: [You like it a lot?]

The air seemed to crackle with the sound of thunder. 250 shrank back, indignantly saying, "No, I don't like it. The leader hates this kind of person the most."

"Master, we've arrived in Mengcheng." The maid poured her master a cup of tea.

Chi Yanlan put down the book in her hand, holding a jade pendant in her palm.

Chi Xing recognized it at a glance. It was a piece of warm jade that the Imperial Concubine had obtained when they were young. She wanted to make a jade pendant for her older sister, but her sister insisted on splitting it in two, so that each of them could have one piece.

Seeing her mistress in a daze, Xiaoju quickly advised, "The Imperial Concubine had no choice but to let the Ninth Prince marry in her place. Your Highness, please don't be angry with Her Highness."

“Even if it is a pit of fire, it is my duty. As a princess of a country, I enjoy the support of the people. Marrying for peace is my mission. My brother is innocent.”

Chi Yanlan stroked the jade pendant: "That person said that my brother suffered a lot after marrying the Prince of Lin. Xiaoju, this suffering should have been mine. It was Mother who harmed my brother."

Xiaoju lowered her head, not daring to persuade her any further. She was the Consort's person, and that day the princess overheard the truth about how the Ninth Prince was sent away for a political marriage.

That was the first time they had seen the princess lose her temper, sternly questioning the imperial concubine, and the mother and daughter got into an argument.

Just as the envoy was about to travel to the Northern Kingdom to offer birthday greetings, the princess insisted on going instead. She had secretly run away. By the time Xiaoju's news reached the palace, they had already followed the caravan out of two cities.

The princess was determined to come, so they could only send secret guards to accompany her, and Xiaoju tried her best to persuade her along the way.

Thinking of the person who had come to talk to the princess under the pretense of resting, Xiaoju felt that the way he looked at the princess was strange.

She carefully chose her words before speaking: "Forgive my bluntness, but I've heard that the man is the eldest prince, and he's the brother of King Lin. It's really strange that he's not helping his own brother."

Xiaoju glanced at the princess's face and, seeing that she didn't interrupt, continued, "This servant has secretly observed that Prince Lin. He doesn't seem like a tyrannical person, let alone someone who beats and scolds people at the drop of a hat."

"I think it would be better to see His Highness the Ninth Prince first and hear what he has to say."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanlan's face paled slightly: "You make it sound so easy. My brother married into a foreign land for me without any reason. Who knows if he already holds a grudge against me? Will he think that I'm the one who harmed him?"

Her mother suddenly took her to Qingyun Temple for a period of quiet meditation. When they returned, she heard that the Ninth Prince had been sent away for a political marriage.

These days she's also worried and secretly cursed the people of Zhanbei for their malicious intentions, actually wanting men to be sent for marriage alliances.

Little did I know, all of this was because of myself.

For the first time, Chi Yanlan felt intense hatred for this fictional dynasty. As a princess, she was powerless to do anything about it and could only watch helplessly as war broke out, as the people suffered, and as her own younger brother was sent away.

"Once we arrive at the post station, we'll prepare to deliver the visiting card to the Prince of Lin's residence."

Xiaoju: "Then the eldest prince invited the princess to go boating on the lake together."

Chi Yanlan: "I'll see my younger brother first." Then, as if remembering something, she shook her head.

"Fine, I'll refuse outright. You're right, we won't interfere in other people's brotherly affairs."
