Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Ji Chaoxi encountered several palace maids shortly after leaving the palace.

Ji Chaoxi was already feeling guilty, and seeing them made her feel even more guilty.

Several palace maids' eyes lit up, and they blocked her from leaving.

"Little Xizi, what naughty thing have you been up to, sneaking around like that?"

"Is he going to bully people again?!"

Ji Chaoxi's face flushed red: "I didn't."

The palace maid narrowed her eyes and snatched the bag from her hand. When they saw what was inside, their expressions changed instantly.

"You little rascal, how could you be so wicked, stealing the Seventh Prince's red charcoal?"

"You really can't judge a book by its cover."

"So young and already this bad?"

Ji Chaoxi lowered her head, her face turning bright red from their comments.

Several palace maids pinched her face and threatened, "Do you believe we'll go tell Eunuch Liu?"

The eunuchs by the roadside had long disliked Ji Chaoxi. She spent all her time among women; what else could she do besides trying to please them?

"I told you long ago that Xiao Xizi was no good, but you guys still didn't believe me."

"You said Xiao Xizi was kind-hearted before, but she stole the Seventh Prince's red charcoal because she was kind-hearted?"

Before the eunuchs could finish speaking, they were impatiently interrupted by the palace maids.

"Shut up, I wasn't talking to you."

Several eunuchs: ...

Aren't they just echoing them?

Seeing Ji Chaoxi blush so much she wished she could disappear into the ground, the palace maids kept laughing.

"Little Xizi, here you go." The palace maid smiled and stuffed a few pieces of Guandong candy into Ji Chaoxi's palm.

"This was a gift from Her Majesty. I brought it to you without even eating it myself. Aren't I good to you?"

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and she nodded.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaohe."

Xiao He ruffled her hair: "We're leaving now. Next time you see us, don't run away. You have to come over and say hello, okay?"

"knew!"

After the palace maid left, several eunuchs immediately surrounded her.

"Give us the Guandong sugar."

"Hurry up, or we'll hit you!"

"Hurry up and take it out."

Ji Chaoxi reached out her hand in fear, and several eunuchs scrambled to take the candy from her hand. The next second, Ji Chaoxi grabbed their braids and pulled them down forcefully.

Several eunuchs cried out in pain.

"Hey, hey, let go of me now!"

"Xiao Xizi, how dare you! Let go of us right now!"

Ji Chaoxi pinned them to the ground, kicked each of them hard in the buttocks, and then ran away.

Several eunuchs went to the Imperial Prison in tears, hoping that the people there would arrest Ji Chaoxi.

Just as they were about to cry and plead their case, they saw Eunuch Liu come out from inside.

Liu Gonggong narrowed his eyes slightly, a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his hand, as he sized up the few eunuchs in front of him.

The young eunuchs froze instantly.

The old man next to them laughed and said, "Now that Eunuch Liu is here, you can tell him how Xiao Xizi bullied you."

Eunuch Liu smelled faintly of bitter medicine, and his voice was hoarse: "What happened? Did Xiao Xizi hit you?"

The young eunuchs quickly shook their heads.

Eunuch Liu looked down at them and sneered, "Don't bring everything to the Censorate. I don't have that much time."

The eunuchs nodded repeatedly in fright, filled with regret.

What a coincidence to run into Eunuch Liu! Wasn't he supposed to be away these days...?

The snow at the entrance of Ruhui Palace had piled up into a thick layer, and the surface of the snow was covered with broken branches and fallen leaves.

Xiao Yanchen shrank his neck and looked at the door.

There was a bowl of spoiled food on the ground; he knew it wasn't brought by her.

Xiao Yanchen picked up the bowl from the ground and gently closed the door.

The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom, and many people were standing around them.

The second prince, dressed in a fox fur cloak, sat on a tall horse, looking down at Xiao Yanchen beside him.

Xiao Yanchen was dragged out of Ruhui Palace by eunuchs. At this moment, he was only wearing a thin old robe and was shivering in the cold wind.

The second prince brandished his riding whip and raised an eyebrow: "This riding post is really not as flexible as my seventh brother's body."

Several observant eunuchs by the roadside immediately understood. They walked up with smiles, and the eunuch in front grabbed Xiao Yanchen by the back of his collar and pushed him down against the horse's hooves.

"Kneel properly!"

Xiao Yanchen struggled desperately, his fingers digging into the soil, looking like an enraged wolf cub.

However, the two eunuchs were too strong. They kicked him hard in the back of the knee, and with a "bang," Xiao Yanchen's knees slammed directly to the ground.

"Let me go!" Xiao Yanchen gritted his teeth.

A eunuch came and pressed down hard on the back of his neck, forcibly flattening his back.

The second prince raised his chin and stepped directly onto Xiao Yanchen's back, the ice shards and mud from the soles of his shoes instantly seeping into Xiao Yanchen's back.

The eunuchs and attendants around Xiao Yanchen burst into laughter upon seeing his appearance, their laughter sounding particularly jarring in the snow.

After an unknown amount of time, the Second Prince and his men left triumphantly. When Xiao Yanchen climbed out of the snow, his whole body was frozen stiff.

He walked with his head down, limping toward Ruhui Palace, his spine and knees trembling incessantly from the humiliation.

Inside Eunuch Liu's room, a stick of incense burned year-round, carrying a bitter medicinal smell. Ji Chaoxi leaned against the window, looking at the tree by the door, and shivered from the cold.

She didn't want to bully Xiao Yanchen anymore; it was so cold.

And he lives so far away.

She should have gone to see Xiao Yanchen yesterday, but she deliberately delayed until today.

Ji Chaoxi sighed and went with the dirty clothes anyway.

She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally arrived at the entrance of Ruhui Palace. She stared at the gate for a moment, and found that the gate was not closed properly.

When Ji Chaoxi saw Xiao Yanchen, she was shocked by his condition. He looked like he was about to go crazy from the fever, and his body was shivering uncontrollably.

"No... don't press me... don't press me..."

Ji Chaoxi placed a towel soaked in cold water over his head and listened attentively to what he was saying, but she couldn't understand anything after listening for a long time.

Just as she was wondering whether she should get him some medicine, the door suddenly opened.

Ji Chaoxi was startled, and so was the person at the door.

"I didn't do it!" Ji Chaoxi quickly said.

The old imperial physician at the door was dumbfounded when he saw the scene inside.

Why is someone taking care of the Seventh Prince here?

"My lord." Ji Chaoxi carefully bowed to the old imperial physician.

The old imperial physician remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

Could this little eunuch have been sent by those people?

He watched as Ji Chaoxi placed the eunuch's robe aside, then hesitated before asking, "Little eunuch, do you think the Seventh Prince is cold, so you're preparing for him to wear this?"

It seems he misunderstood. What a good child.

His eyes held a hint of kindness.

Ji Chaoxi shook her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, this is what I was going to have the Seventh Prince wash for me. You know, the Seventh Prince is currently out of favor."

The old imperial physician: ...
