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

The old imperial physician was treating Xiao Yanchen's illness, but his gaze remained fixed on Ji Chaoxi, who was burning charcoal nearby.

Even though she's just a child, we can't let our guard down.

"Little Xizi, why did you suddenly come to see the Seventh Prince? Have you come before?"

Ji Chaoxi said earnestly, "My lord, I heard that there is a prince who is easy to bully, so I came here. I have never bullied a prince before."

She looked at the old imperial physician curiously: "Sir, are you the same as me?"

The old imperial physician's lips twitched: "I'm not like you. I'm here to save the Seventh Prince."

Ji Chaoxi was a little disappointed: "Okay."

The old imperial physician: ...

Xiao Yanchen had woken up after taking the medicine, but he was still very weak.

The old imperial physician packed his things and prepared to leave, and Ji Chaoxi left with him.

Just as they were about to leave, Xiao Yanchen's weak and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Xiao Xizi, you forgot to put your clothes down."

Ji Chaoxi paused for a moment, glanced at the clothes in her hand, and then silently placed them next to Xiao Yanchen.

"Seventh Prince, please help me wash myself clean," she whispered.

Xiao Yanchen nodded, his face pale.

When Ji Chaoxi returned, Eunuch Liu had just returned from the Ministry of Justice. He placed the pastries on the table and sat down on the chair next to him to pick up walnuts.

He glanced at Ji Chaoxi, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Where have you been?"

Ji Chaoxi sat on the table and honestly said, "I went to bully people."

Eunuch Liu responded softly and closed his eyes: "A couple of days ago, those little eunuchs came to me and said that you hit them."

Ji Chaoxi said with some grievance, "Master, they say that I'm so young but I'm always trying to please women and hanging out with them all the time. They say I'm very scheming."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu sighed and said in a very soft tone, "You really need to be careful. What's the point of a lowly eunuch like you constantly snuggling up to palace maids?"

Ji Chaoxi's ears turned red, and she nodded.

"Eat this pastry, and wear more clothes next time you go out."

"Yes, Master."

The eunuchs' dormitory was surrounded by two high walls, which kept them out of the sun during the day and the moonlight at night, giving it a perpetually eerie atmosphere.

There was a long kang (heated brick bed) in the communal room, covered with old, blackened robes, where more than a dozen eunuchs slept.

"Why should we sleep here, while Xiao Xizi sleeps on the small couch in Eunuch Liu's outer room?"

"Why should they? Because they have a good mentor."

"I really dislike her. Did you see her today? She was hugging and rubbing against Xiao He all over her. She has no shame!"

"I didn't expect that little Xizi would start thinking about women at such a young age. It's a pity that no matter how much he wants it, it's all for nothing without the right thing."

A burst of laughter came from the dormitory.

Every time these eunuchs went to cause trouble for Ji Chaoxi, the palace maids would always come out to help her. The eunuchs in the palace had grown extremely disgusted with Ji Chaoxi.

In the imperial study, red charcoal burned in a corner as the emperor reviewed memorials. He glanced at the jade tablet beside him.

This piece of jade was personally polished by the Empress and given to him in her first year in the palace.

At the time, he felt the jade wasn't translucent enough and disliked her rough craftsmanship, so he never used it.

Now, the concubines around him have changed batch after batch, each one charming and beautiful, but he finds it extremely boring.

"I remember that the Empress used to bring a few plum blossoms with her whenever she came to the Imperial Study," the Emperor remarked with emotion.

The plum blossoms in the Imperial Study today were placed there by the servants. They are the same plum blossoms, but they don't feel the same as they did back then.

Seeing the longing in the Emperor's eyes, the eunuch beside him went along with it.

"Your Majesty is still very affectionate. I met the Seventh Prince a few days ago, and his personality is exactly like the Empress's."

The emperor's hand paused slightly.

He might feel a little nostalgic when he thinks of the Empress, but when he mentions the Seventh Prince, who shares his bloodline, his mind is filled with unpleasant memories.

The tenderness in his eyes was immediately replaced by disgust.

"Like her?" the Emperor sneered. "What's so good about being as stubborn as her?"

He took a sip of tea and pushed the jade away.

"Since it looks like it, then stay there and don't spoil my fun."

The father-in-law dared not speak and lowered his head.

The weather has warmed up a bit these past few days, and Ji Chaoxi went to find Xiao Yanchen again, this time with dirty clothes on.

She was taken aback when she saw Xiao Yanchen standing at the entrance of Ruhui Palace.

Xiao Yanchen was also stunned, and smiled at her.

"Xiao Xizi, are you here again to have me do your laundry?" Xiao Yanchen took the clothes from Ji Chaoxi's hands.

Seeing how skilled he was, Ji Chaoxi nodded shyly.

She handed the snacks from her pocket to Xiao Yanchen: "Here, have some."

Xiao Yanchen looked at the snacks but didn't take them.

Ji Chaoxi ate one in front of him: "It's not poisonous, it's delicious."

Xiao Yanchen pursed his lips and took the snacks from her hand: "Thank you."

"This was brought to me by my master. My master is amazing; he always brings me lots of delicious food," Ji Chaoxi boasted.

Xiao Yanchen looked at Ji Chaoxi with bright eyes: "Little Xizi, you're amazing."

Ji Chaoxi blushed: "It's not that I'm amazing, it's that my master is amazing."

Xiao Yanchen went to fetch water to help Ji Chaoxi wash her clothes, and Ji Chaoxi squatted down beside him watching him wash.

"I haven't brought you food in a long time; I can't even get your food box anymore."

"I'll bring you food tomorrow. I've already talked to them. Can you share half with me?" Ji Chaoxi looked at him earnestly.

Xiao Yan was surprised that she would consult with him, and nodded with a smile.

That would be wonderful if Xiao Xizi brought him food; then he could have fresh meals tomorrow.

Moreover, Xiao Xizi felt sorry for him and only let him wash the thin eunuch clothes and socks, which were quickly washed clean.

Xiao Yanchen felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at Ji Chaoxi, who was eating snacks with her head down.
