Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

She only came to find Akahoshi; if possible, she actually wanted to switch Akahoshi back.

This should have been her responsibility, not Akahoshi's.

She was reincarnated here and grew up being pampered and adored by everyone.

When she was a child, she met Akahoshi, who was being bullied by the prince. Akahoshi was only one year younger than her and was beaten and scolded by his wet nurse before he could even walk.

Chi Yanlan was furious. She held Chi Xing and cried for a long time, asking her mother to take him back to raise him. He was the emperor's youngest and most insignificant son, simply because he was born to a palace maid.

But in Chi Yanlan's heart, he was her only younger brother.

Perhaps because she watched too many TV dramas in modern times, Chi Yanlan thought that the palace was full of intrigue and that one could lose one's life if one was not careful.

She later learned that she was the only princess in the palace, her mother was a noble consort, and her father, the emperor, doted on her.

Even her elder brother, the Crown Prince, treated her extremely well. She was the darling of the palace, and Chi Yanlan gradually lowered her guard, which led to her becoming somewhat spoiled.

So much so that when she saw the weak and frail Akahoshi, she felt pity and wanted to change something, even if it was just to let him grow up safely.

People have feelings. The Imperial Concubine allowed Chi Xing to be raised in the side hall, and Chi Yanlan played with him every day. The two grew up together and could be considered as close as brothers in the palace.

Chi Yanlan found it hard to imagine that when she saw Chi Xing again, he would probably look at her with hatred. He was so cute when he was little.

Chi Xing saw in his mind that his elder sister had lost some weight, which he assumed was because she had learned about the substitute marriage. In fact, he did not hate his elder sister.

250: [You didn't see it just now, but the eldest prince came to talk to her, and his words were full of complaints about Cang Linyu's abuse of you.]

Fortunately, Chi Yanlan didn't believe him completely, and she didn't cause trouble for Cang Linyu.

Akahoshi: [What were you laughing at just now?]

250 Hehe: [Laughing at Cang Linye for being silly. He only thinks you were taken away by Cang Linyu's people and is still trying to rescue you.]

However, he was unaware that Cang Linyu had already visited the royal palace before setting off.

Chi Xing only learned that the Chen family had been raided during this period after Cang Linyu returned. The imperial envoy found a large number of letters in his study containing correspondence with the Imperial Concubine, the eldest prince, and some ministers of Feng Qiguo.

The letter was delivered to the emperor, and the imperial concubine committed suicide in the palace not long after. When the news spread, Cang Linyu and his companions had just arrived in the capital.

Unaware of the situation, Cang Linye invited Chi Yanlan to go boating on the lake. Chi Yanlan refused several times, but Cang Linye was not angry. Instead, he followed her into the post station.

Cang Linyu couldn't stand it, so she walked up to Chi Yanlan and blocked Cang Linye's murderous gaze.

"Elder brother, my princess has arranged to meet with the eighth princess today."

Cang Linye was displeased that he was blocking his view, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "When did this happen?"

“Just now, Your Highness, why don’t we reschedule for another day? I need to visit my Ninth Prince,” Chi Yanlan said first.

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little more favorably disposed towards him; this King Rin wasn't as bad as he had imagined.

On the contrary, this eldest prince was like a leech all the way, and the way he looked at her was something Chi Yanlan really disliked.

Before Cang Linye could say anything more, a group of people approached from behind. The leader, dressed in riding attire, faced Cang Linye and said:

"Your Highness, the King requests that you come to the palace immediately."

Before Cang Linye could say anything more, the general said firmly, "Go now."

He was followed by a troop of cavalrymen, all of whom had swords at their waists and treated him as if he were a fugitive.

Cang Linye was dissatisfied, but his father wanted to see him, presumably to discuss matters with Feng Qiguo.

Upon seeing Chi Yanlan again, Cang Linye could no longer control his feelings of love and wanted to take advantage of this trip to the palace to discuss the marriage with his father.

Once the person left, Chi Yanlan finally relaxed. She couldn't believe how she had offended the eldest prince.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness." Chi Yanlan bowed to Cang Linyu, who nodded, turned around, and mounted his horse as if he had something urgent to attend to.

"and many more."

"Your Highness, please wait."

Cang Linyu turned around, her face showing some impatience: "Does the Eighth Princess have something to say?"

After hesitating for a moment, Chi Yanlan said, "I was thinking of sending the visiting card another day, but since the Prince just said he wanted to visit your residence, how about I go today?"

Cang Linyu refused directly: "It's inconvenient today, please forgive me, Princess."

Without saying much else, leaving a female bodyguard to protect him, Cang Linyu mounted his horse and galloped towards the Prince's mansion.

Akahoshi, who was eating pastries, quickly put down her pastries, wiped her mouth clean, looked in the mirror, and then climbed into bed.

He still had the chain in his hand, and he deliberately let it stick out of the blanket to make himself look more miserable.

After a long silence, Akahoshi knew that Cang Linyu had returned to the manor, but wondered why she hadn't gone back to her room.

250 watched everything happening in the palace from within his sea of ​​consciousness.

The night before, the Wolf King learned that the Imperial Concubine and Lord Chen were having an affair. They not only exchanged letters, but after interrogating the Imperial Concubine's personal maid, he learned that the Imperial Concubine had a secret affair with Lord Chen before entering the palace.

The eldest prince was the child that the imperial concubine conceived before entering the palace. They bribed the midwife and the imperial physician who delivered the baby, falsely claiming that the eldest prince was premature, when in fact he was full-term.

The emperor was furious and imprisoned the entire Chen family in the imperial prison, where they were to be executed in the autumn for deceiving the emperor. The imperial concubine then ordered him to commit suicide by drinking poison on the spot.

The maids, imperial physicians, and those who delivered the baby who learned of this were all beaten to death.

This matter concerns the emperor's reputation, so he cannot speak of it to the public, and even disciplining the eldest prince requires a legitimate reason.

However, he quickly found a reason: the eldest prince went to the Wolf King upon entering the palace and reported on the matter of welcoming the envoy from Fengqi Kingdom.

But a short while later, his father threw him a stack of papers filled with writing.

Only then did Cang Linye realize that his father's face looked unusually pale, and he had a bad feeling.

Having experienced what happened in his previous life, he knew his true identity: he was the child of his mother and another man.

He quickly calmed down. In his previous life, his father never knew about this until his death, and it would definitely be the same in this life. He had nothing to be afraid of.

However, the moment he opened the paper, the string in his heart snapped completely. His head went blank, as if he could no longer hear any sound from the outside world.

The document, written in black and white, clearly listed the crimes of Lord Chen and his mother, with the first charge being their own background.

He stared at the paper, ignoring even the items he had found in his study.

Cang Linye trembled all over. He moved his lips, then knelt down with a thud, his voice trembling: "No, Father, this is definitely not true. Don't believe Lord Chen's words. He is colluding with officials of Fengqi Kingdom."

"Yes, he colluded with the people of Fengqi Kingdom. This time, he must have deliberately deceived you. This is a trap they set. Father, they set a trap to harm your son."

"Heh." The Wolf King suddenly laughed. There were only two people in the entire imperial study and the eunuchs serving behind the Wolf King.

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Cang Linye clenched his fists, unable to believe what was happening, and racked his brains trying to figure out how to save himself.
