Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Chapter 278 Cannon fodder in the novel about the female leader (21)

Li Changhuan hadn't expected him to say such a thing. He was immediately furious and grabbed Wuyou's clothes, pressing him down with a fierce look in his eyes: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will lock you up!"

Wuyou was caught off guard. When he met her red eyes, he realized that he had said something wrong. He was so scared that he trembled and dared not say anything. His eyes quickly filled with tears and then overflowed uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

His voice also sounded aggrieved. He felt that this person was very fierce. He also remembered the rumors about her in the community and was worried that she would be angry and attack him.

Li Changhuan saw the change on his face and subconsciously let go of him. He withdrew his hand and said in a voice eight points lower than before, "Don't talk nonsense. I won't do anything to you."

"……Yes."

Listening to his tearful answer, Li Changhuan was not satisfied at all. Instead, she felt even more uncomfortable, suffocated and distressed, which made her feel as if her heart did not belong to her.

She took Wuyou into her arms, hugged him tightly, suppressed her anger, and said in a soothing tone: "Don't run around. I'll come back tomorrow. If it's still early, I'll take you out to see the world, okay?"

How could Wuyou dare to say "no"? He quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, thank you, Your Highness."

Li Changhuan wiped the tears from his face, lowered her head and kissed his soft lips. She inadvertently tasted the saltiness of his tears, and her eyes darkened a little.

This guy has been disobedient recently, and she couldn't help but think of Chen Huan.

There were recent rumors that Chen Huan was going to marry Zheng Jun. Could it be that some gossip had reached his ears and caused him to change his temper?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She wanted to push Wuyou down on the couch and give him a good beating. However, as soon as she started, Wuyou started crying and couldn't stop.

Listening to his suppressed and pitiful crying, Li Changhuan could only kiss his cheek and patiently comfort him: "Be good, don't do it if you don't want to. I will come back early tomorrow and take you out to play."

Wuyou didn't answer, but just cried softly.

He felt extremely aggrieved. He knew clearly that Li Changhuan could not be his alone. She was the imperial princess and had to marry a legitimate ruler. When she ascended the throne, her harem would be filled with countless concubines of higher status than his, who would bear her children...

Not only could he not monopolize her, but he was also likely to be rejected and die quietly within the high walls, never to see the light of day again.

Wuyou was scared and sad, sobbing and crying. Li Changhuan held him and comforted him. After a long while, he finally coaxed him to sleep, and then immediately called the housekeeper over.

"See Your Highness."

Li Changhuan sat at the head of the table, his eyes glaring unkindly. "Has anyone in the East Palace been gossiping lately, saying something unpleasant that has reached Yan'er's ears?"

The housekeeper's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She is the manager of the Eastern Palace, and she is responsible for anything that happens in the Eastern Palace. This matter also concerns the person closest to the heart of the princess. Since the princess has spoken, there must be something.

But she didn't know it.

"This, this servant... I will check it out right now and give you an answer tomorrow morning."

Li Changhuan: "Go and investigate. If you find anyone who has bad words, return them to the Imperial Household Department and don't have to reply to me."

The housekeeper quickly bowed and said, "Yes!"

"Go back."

The next morning, Li Changhuan went to court. When Wuyou woke up, he learned that the Eastern Palace had found several slaves who believed the rumors and spoke nonsense in the Eastern Palace, and all of them were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhen Dan specifically mentioned this to him: "I heard that His Highness personally took care of this matter. He must have seen that the young master was in a bad mood recently, so he sent someone to investigate. His Highness is really good to the young master."

Wuyou's eyes were a little red because he cried for too long last night.

When he heard Zhen Dan say these words, he didn't react much. He felt depressed and a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

But he didn't take it to heart. After breakfast, Zhen Dan wanted him to go out for a walk, but he didn't go and went back to sleep.

He slept for several hours and didn't wake up until the afternoon. It was Zhen Dan who woke him up.

"Sir." He said excitedly, "The attendant beside His Highness has returned with a message that His Highness will be dismissing court at twilight hour. Sir, please hurry up and eat something, take a shower, and change clothes. When His Highness returns, he will take you out."

Wuyou was still a little sleepy, but he immediately woke up after hearing the words.

"really?"

He really wanted to go out, even if it was just to see the scenery of Yanjing, it would give his depressed heart a moment of relief.

"Of course it's true, sir, please get up quickly."

Wuyou was helped up by him, and took a bath and changed his clothes. Just as he changed his clothes and had no time to eat, Li Changhuan came back.

His hair was still wet, and Zhen Dan was wiping it for him. When he saw her come in, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Your Highness."

Wuyou wanted to follow suit, but Li Changhuan quickly stepped forward to stop him and took the handkerchief from Zhen Dan's hand: "You go down first."

"Yes."

Zhen Dan retreated, and Wuyou was led back to the chair by her. She gently wiped his long black hair and asked, "What did you do this morning?"

Wuyou said, "I've been feeling sleepy these past two days. I took another nap and just woke up."

"Your spring fatigue has come early."

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words, and Wuyou blushed suddenly.

Li Changhuan used his inner strength to dry his hair, and took the comb beside him to comb it a few times. His hair became smooth and was quickly combed out. His black hair was like the finest silk, not only shiny but also felt good.

She casually fiddled with it with her hands and asked, "Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"

"I had breakfast this morning and now I'm a little hungry."

Someone came in from outside, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, lunch is ready. Shall we bring it over now?"

"No need." Li Changhuan stood up and said, "Let's go out to eat. Someone, tie up the young master's hair."

She didn't know how. Zhen Dan came in and quickly helped Wuyou tie up her hair. It was still cold in spring, so she put a cloak on him and then took him out.

After leaving the palace, it was dinner time. The aroma of food wafted through Suzaku Street, which was very tempting.

It was not completely dark yet and the lantern festival had not started yet, so they found a restaurant to eat first.

The restaurant is called Xiangmanlou and is widely acclaimed in Yanjing. Although its dishes are expensive, in Yanjing, where there are the most princes and nobles, the high price has become an advantage.

Although Li Changhuan didn't make a big announcement about his identity, he exuded an extraordinary aura. As soon as he entered the restaurant, a waiter came to greet him: "Dear guests, please come in. The lobby or the side room?"

Shangguan Hui stepped forward and asked, "Is anyone in the Tianzihao?"

The waiter knew a distinguished guest had arrived and was immediately embarrassed. "The Tianzi restaurant is reserved by the eldest daughter of General Zhenyuan's mansion today. She has invited several guests and is currently dining. The Xuanzi restaurant is still available and has a more elegant ambiance. What do you think, sir?"

"Then let's use the Xuan character."

"Well, please come in, gentlemen!"

The three of them followed the waiter upstairs. Wuyou walked beside Li Changhuan, but they didn't hold hands. In addition, the candlelight in the corridor was relatively dim, and the people who bumped into them after drinking didn't realize that they were together.

Or rather, I can't believe that the two of them are together.

"Isn't this Master Wuyou? I heard you were redeemed by marrying into a wealthy family. How much did you get for selling your body? Did you give up my eldest sister, who was so glamorous, and willingly serve an old woman?"
