Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The entire capital city knew about this phenomenon, and people were filled with anxiety. Some even bluntly stated that the Imperial Advisor had made a mistake in his calculations, and that this was not some Purple Star, but a harbinger of doom that could bring about the downfall of the Qi Kingdom.

Upon hearing this statement, some ministers took the lead in urging the emperor to retract his order and select another crown prince.

The Emperor was furious and ordered the minister to be beaten dozens of times. After that, no one dared to say anything more.

However, in the eighteen years since Qi Siyu was born, whenever any natural disaster occurred in Qi, everyone would think of Qi Siyu first.

They dared not speak of it in front of the emperor, but rumors circulated among the people that the crown prince was a harbinger of disaster, and that Heaven was displeased with him and thus sent down natural calamities in anger.

People firmly believed it, yet they were helpless to change it.

His Highness the Crown Prince was unruly from a young age, but his health was extremely poor, and he also suffered from a strange illness that could drive him mad at any time. No one dared to get close to him.

The Imperial Advisor later admitted that his initial calculations were wrong and reiterated his assertion that the Crown Prince would not live past twenty.

However, Emperor Qi had no intention of choosing another crown prince, and even became more and more indulgent towards Qi Siyu.

Akahoshi: [So he really can only live to be twenty?]

250: [In the original storyline, the young prince died at the age of twenty.]

Not long ago, the emperor found his second prince, Qi Silin, who had been living among the common people. He is the protagonist in the original story.

Qi Silin was born to Emperor Qi and a woman from the martial arts world named Ren Lian'er. Ren Lian'er disliked being confined to the palace and ran away while pregnant.

Not long ago, Ren Lian'er passed away. Qi Silin then took the token to the hunting grounds to claim kinship with the emperor. Upon learning that he had a son, the emperor recognized him as the second prince according to his age.

250: [Qi Silin's maternal grandfather, Ren Huai, is the head of the Tianwu Sect. All of this was his premeditated plan. In order to obtain the Qi Kingdom, he sent Qi Silin into the palace and joined forces with the Prince of Jin to kill all the other princes.]

Qi Silin believed that he and his mother had been abandoned by the emperor, and that his return to the palace was also for the throne.

Their biggest obstacle was Qi Siyu, but Qi Siyu always managed to thwart their plans, even killing many martial arts figures and causing turmoil in the martial arts world.

Akahoshi: [So, not cooperating with them to die makes you a villain? Is there really such a logic in this world?]

250 hesitated for a moment, then spoke somewhat hesitantly:

[That's right, it's actually because of the young prince's childhood sweetheart, Murong Wei.]

Murong Wei is the female lead of the small world. Qi Silin falls in love with Murong Wei at first sight, and the two have many misunderstandings because of the existence of the little prince.

Once, after Murong Wei was kidnapped by bandits, the young prince rescued her. At that time, Murong Wei was already under the influence of an aphrodisiac; before she lost consciousness, she saw the young prince and believed it was him with her…

Seeing that Chi Xing's face was getting darker and darker, 250 quickly said: "Nothing happened between the little prince and her. It was Qi Silin who took Murong Wei away while the little prince was away."

Murong Wei always believed the child belonged to the young prince, and because of her pregnancy, she refused to accept Qi Silin.

Qi Silin believed that the female lead only had the young prince in her heart, which was why she was unwilling to marry him. Neither of them spoke up, and the conflict grew bigger and bigger.

Qi Silin plotted to kill the young prince, while Murong Wei tried to have an abortion. Ultimately, the young prince committed suicide, but Qi Silin failed.

When Chi Xing heard that Qi Siyu had committed suicide, her heart ached: [What did you say? Suicide? Why?]

250: [The young prince suffers from severe bipolar disorder.]

This is also why Qi Siyu only lived to the age of twenty.

Qi Silin obtained the throne by chance, and Murong Wei was so saddened by the death of the young prince that she painfully aborted the child.

After going through various twists and turns, the two finally cleared up the misunderstanding.

Murong Wei also realized her true feelings; she didn't love the deceased young crown prince, but Qi Silin.

The reason why the young prince is a villain is because he blocked Qi Silin from becoming the crown prince when he was alive, and also caused many misunderstandings between him and Murong Wei.

Even though he had been dead for many years, the young prince would still be brought up by these two to create conflict.

Chi Xing didn't listen to the two's melodramatic love story; his mind was now completely occupied with Qi Siyu's illness.

"Was he attacked people in the street that day because he was having an attack?" Akahoshi asked.

250 answers: [Yes.]

Akahisa's face darkened, as if she were about to erupt in anger: "Then why didn't you say so sooner?"

This system talks for ages but never gets to the point.

250 dared not speak, fearing that Red Star would electrocute it.

Fortunately, Chi Xing only had Qi Siyu on her mind at the moment and didn't have time to pay attention to it.

That night, Akahoshi changed into black clothes and leaped onto the roof.

Martial arts exist in this world, and the original owner of this body was a martial arts master.

He just happened to be poisoned to death today, and Akahoshi hasn't found the culprit yet.

The original owner was a true eunuch, and his biggest regret in life was not being able to be a complete person like others.

The system bureau will grant his wish, allowing him to be reborn into a good family and live a normal life with plenty of food and clothing and good health.

After Akahoshi arrives here, her body will change accordingly, which is why Akahoshi was initially worried that she didn't have that.

Fortunately, the missions in the small world were relatively humane, and he wasn't turned into a eunuch as well. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to give the little prince happiness in this life.

As Akahoshi continued thinking, he soon arrived at the East Palace.

The East Palace was dark and gloomy. There were many guards and soldiers in the outer courtyard, but no one was in the inner courtyard.

Chi Xing concealed his aura, entered the inner courtyard, and began searching for the young prince's bedroom.

"Clang!" The sound of porcelain shattering rang out, followed by a woman crying and begging for mercy.

"Your Highness, please spare me! I dare not do it again, I dare not do it again... Please spare me..."

A soft "pfft" sound came from behind.

Akahoshi found the source of the sound. The room was brightly lit. He stood outside the door and watched as the blood inside sprayed onto the walls and then slowly flowed down.

In the candlelight, a tall, slender young man held a long sword, facing the door. Blood dripped from the tip of the sword onto the ground, creating a bloody and terrifying scene.

Akahoshi saw the boy's face clearly, and their eyes met. The boy's eyes were dull and lifeless, without the slightest ripple.

There was a food box on the ground, and the scantily clad maidservant lay there, dead beyond any doubt.

Chi Xing slowly walked towards Qi Siyu. A sharp sound of a blade cutting through the air came from behind, and Chi Xing immediately dodged.

The thrown sword missed its target. Qi Siyu clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on Chi Xing.

"Ayu?" Chixing had no choice but to stop where he was and call out tentatively.

Qi Siyu didn't reply, just stared at him, as if waiting for him to leave, or perhaps thinking of a way to kill him.

Akahoshi stepped closer and said in a softer voice, "Ayu, can I stay with you?"

Qi Siyu remained silent, but his gaze softened considerably.

Before Chixing could say a second word, Qi Siyu suddenly fell backward. Chixing's heart tightened, and he rushed forward to catch him.

At this moment, Qi Siyu resembled a drowning person on the verge of death, trembling all over, his thin lips slightly parted, breathing heavily, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
