Things that became cannon fodder through time travel

Chapter 10

Zi Xiyan's life became busy bit by bit. The Imperial Academy's official position is not big, but they always have to edit and write books. They go out every morning, and there are not many people in the mansion during the day. In the kitchen, but most of the servants who are not stupid can see that Zi Xiyan is not normal to Chu Chenxing. An is still leisurely. When Chu Chenxing wakes up one day, he feels that his weight has probably begun to grow silently in this era of no scale.

Chu Chenxing adheres to the principle of eating less every day, but when he goes to the street every day, he will bring back a bunch of food.The housekeeper at home saw that although the young man could eat, he was still smart.So he handed over part of the family affairs to Chu Chenxing, and when Zi Xiyan came back one night, he saw Chu Chenxing holding the ledger, a stack of messily drawn papers beside him, and Chu Chenxing crying with his head in his arms.Seeing the person coming, Chu Chenxing called: "Zi Xiyan, Zi Xiyan, come and take a look at this, why is this expenditure considered wrong?" Zi Xiyan sat down, looked at the account book in front of Chu Chenxing, smiled, took the account book, looked at it and said: "Look at this expenditure, the right one is the one below. If you get two right and wrong, it will naturally be considered wrong." As he spoke, he came over and reached for the beads. Chu Chenxing smelled the smell of Zi Xiyan, and it was the house The mixture of the incense in the temple and the books of the Hanlin Academy.The slender fingers fiddled with the beads, the side face was tired, there was a faint blue circle under the eye sockets, and he bit his lower lip, looking very serious.Chu Chenxing recalled the days when the two of them hadn't arrived in the capital. Although Zi Xiyan was thin, he didn't look tired. Chu Chenxing looked at his profile and asked, "Are you hungry?" Zi Xiyan didn't think of him He would ask himself this question, thought for a while and said: "I'm really hungry. Today I was called away before I finished lunch, and I didn't eat anything in the afternoon." Chu Chenxing stood up and said: "You put this account first, I probably know what to do, I'll get you something to eat." After speaking, he went to the kitchen and came back with sweet soup and pastries.

When he came back, he saw that Zi Xiyan put his hand on his forehead, and he had already started to doze off. He lowered his head and woke up when he heard the sound of the door closing. While talking about things above the court, although he was studying in the Hanlin Academy, he was very clear about the situation in the court. A few days ago, he paid homage to a master who taught him how to write books and other matters so that he could go to the court in the future.Chu Chenxing suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Zi Xiyan, who is the current prime minister?" "Huh? It's Mr. Cheng, why did Chenxing start asking this?" Described, Chu Chenxing remembered that if Prime Minister Cheng died, the capital would be faced with a major plague, most of the officials would die in this disaster, and Zi Xiyan’s power change would also happen after this plague, There is no one in the court, and Zi Xiyan shoulders the heavy responsibility, and the power is all over the place for a while, causing chaos to the court, and in the end, ten thousand arrows pierced the heart.Chu Chenxing looked at this chatterer and wondered what else he could do. If he knew that the ending was written from the beginning, would the story he was involved in be changed a little because of his own efforts.Chu Chenxing never thought about his choice in such a story.Believe in fate, accept fate, or believe in fate, don't accept fate, even if he doesn't accept fate, what should he do? For the first time, Chu Chenxing felt so powerless in front of the choice.Zi Xiyan saw that the man's complexion was gradually getting worse, and thought that he was not feeling well, so he asked him to rest first. Chu Chenxing stood up and went back to the room silently, without sleep all night.

Before the sky turned white, there was movement in Zi Xiyan's room. Chu Chenxing wanted to go out when he heard the sound, but he held back after all, and retracted his hand on the door bolt.

Zi Xiyan naturally did not return for a day, and at night, the lights in the courtyard were all extinguished, and Zi Xiyan was nowhere to be seen.Chu Chenxing asked the housekeeper and the others to go to bed first, and waited for Zi Xiyan in the study. The sound of "popping" candles awakened Chu Chenxing. He quickly stood up, rushed to Zi Xiyan's room, opened the door, and lay on the bed in the dark. , there was no one in the room.

Chu Chenxing was flustered, and rushed out the door quickly, thinking that the door was opening too loudly, so he found a stone in the yard, stepped on it and turned over the wall.

When I climbed out of the wall and jumped down, I realized that I didn't know where to find Zi Xiyan. Looking back at the wall that was as high as the two of them, I really didn't know where I got the courage from. After thinking about it, it would be better if I jumped down Looking for it, he ran down the street.

There were not many people left on the street. Chu Chenxing still remembered that Zi Xiyan had mentioned the location of the Imperial Academy. Although he was flustered, he still ran towards the Imperial Academy.Halfway through the run, he saw a person leaning against the door of a shop on the side of the road. Chu Chenxing couldn't see the person's face clearly. He hoped that it was Zi Xiyan, but he also hoped to see him walking like flying.Chu Chenxing spoke.He whispered, "Zi Xiyan, is that you?" The man raised his head, his face was pale, he covered his stomach with one hand, smiled reluctantly, his voice trembling, and replied; "Yes" is just this sentence, yes, Chu Chenxing let go of his heart at once, but with this voice, his heart was raised again, and he ran to help him up. Seeing that the man was not injured, he knew he must be hungry. The appearance of the stomach trouble is the same as this person, so he squats down, asks someone to climb on his back, and carries the person back.

Zi Xiyan was not too heavy, but Chu Chenxing was still exhausted. When he knocked on the door, he looked at this person who was in pain and knew that he would not be a fellow traveler in the future, but an inexplicable grievance suddenly welled up in his eyes, and tears flowed instantly come out.Hearing his knock on the door, the butler hurried over to open the door. Seeing Zi Xiyan lying on the ground, he immediately went out to find the doctor without asking too much.The originally quiet mansion became lively again.

Zi Xiyan took the medicine and lay down to sleep. Chu Chenxing was afraid that something might happen to him, so he sat on the stool and looked at this person and their unpredictable future.

Zi Xiyan woke up slowly. The sudden stomach pain when he came home last night made him feel terrified. After getting dressed and preparing to go to the Imperial Academy, he noticed Chu Chenxing who was squatting at the door and guarding the small stove cooking porridge and medicine.Chu Chenxing looked up and saw Zi Xiyan who had just come out. He felt very complicated in his heart. He would definitely not help this person to seek power and usurp the throne, but he was always reluctant to leave this person. Thinking of this, Chu Chenxing There was another twitch in my heart.Pick up the porridge and medicine, push the person into the room, watch the person eat the food, and just about to leave, the housekeeper suddenly rushed in, almost colliding with Chu Chenxing, Zi Xiyan supported Chu Chenxing, looked at the housekeeper, not yet Before he had time to speak, the housekeeper gasped and said, "My lord, it's not good, Prime Minister Cheng was assassinated last night, last night."
