Chapter 241: Miracle

The eldest prince has simply lost the will to live. He has not become stupid, nor has his five senses been closed. Psychologically, he doesn’t want to care about anything, but his body can’t really turn a blind eye to everything around him.

Just when the eldest prince was hesitating whether to resist, the remaining of his four sons, the one with cold sweat, hugged Ye Shuo.

“Uncle Jiu! Please, show mercy!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Perhaps it was because Ye Shuo was too eccentric on a daily basis, and for a moment, everyone couldn’t tell whether he was joking or serious.

What if he really got excited and made his father drink such a bowl of boiling hot medicine, then… Ye Yan and others couldn’t help but shiver.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing.”

“Uncle Jiu, this really won’t work!”

The two of them pulled each other for a long time. If Ye Shuo didn’t take action, he really wouldn’t be able to break free for a while. After a long while, Ye Shuo had no choice but to say helplessly: “Okay, I’ll wait a little longer.” There was regret in his words.

Ye Yan and the others breathed a sigh of relief almost instantly, and even the eldest prince felt inexplicably relieved.

Princess Ding and a group of concubines standing by were hesitant to speak, thinking that their brother-in-law was too unreliable. But they had no choice. After all, he was a prince. Unless the prince spoke personally, who would dare to drive him out?

Life at home is already difficult enough, if we offend this person again, what will happen?

Princess Ding twisted her handkerchief so much that it was deformed.

After waiting for a long time until the bowl of medicine in his hand was no longer so hot, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at his nephew.

When the boy met his gaze, he quickly let go.

“Hold tight, or it will spill.”

Following Ye Shuo’s order, Ye Yan and others exerted all their might, and for a moment the eldest prince felt he could not breathe.

He didn’t know why his sons listened to him so much, and he didn’t know whether they were his sons or his sons.

Just when the eldest prince was thinking about something, Ye Shuo had already taken out the soup spoon from the bowl, pried open his teeth without saying a word, and poured the whole bowl of medicine into him.

The eldest prince struggled desperately, but he had not eaten or drunk much in the past month and had no strength left. How could he be a match for a few young men?

The eldest prince then clenched his teeth again, but no matter how good his teeth were, could they be better than porcelain?

After swallowing a bowl of medicine, the eldest prince started to cry and had a snot.

Ye Shuo acted as if he didn’t see it and was very satisfied with his results.

“Not bad.” Although it was his first time doing this job, only a little bit of the medicine spilled out of the bowl. It was simply perfect.

Staring at this scene in a daze, Princess Ding and the concubines suddenly understood something.

While putting down the empty bowl, Ye Shuo casually said: “See? This is how it has to be. Anyway, he can’t resist you now.”

If soft means don’t work, then use hard means. What’s the point of just begging him? It’s okay to force him.

Given the relationship between Princess Ding and his adopted elder brother, and the fact that Ye Yan is their eldest son, the eldest prince can’t really do anything to her.

Princess Ding pursed her lips and said nothing.

The eldest prince at the side was about to cough up his lungs.

After all this tossing and turning, the eldest prince felt dizzy and had almost no strength left. It was extremely difficult for him to even turn over. Lying on the bed, panting, the eldest prince pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a cold smile: “No matter what you do… I will not do as you wish… In the end… you are just wasting your time.”

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ye Shuo.

“Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.”

Ye Shuo said as if it was a matter of course: “I only do what I want to do, as long as I am happy. Even if you can’t be saved in the end, it’s your problem. What does it have to do with me?”

When everyone heard this, they felt that something was strange, but they could not find any words to refute it for a moment.

No one expected him to say such a thing, even the eldest prince felt ripples in his heart.

The next moment, the young man yawned blatantly.

“It’s done. The medicine has been given. It’s time for my brother to go to the palace to visit father.” Ye Shuo was very busy taking care of the two patients.

Princess Ding was stunned for a moment after seeing this, and then hurriedly said, “I’ll go see the prince off.”

She still has many things she wants to ask.

The eldest prince watched his princess go out with his brother. He could faintly hear their voices, one asking a question and the other answering it, so smoothly.

Princess Ding was not someone who didn’t know how to adapt. It was just that for a moment, she couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart. After leaving the house, she couldn’t help but feel a little conflicted: “His Highness the nineth Prince, tell me, isn’t this…not good for the prince?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Ye Shuo didn’t care.

“As long as you understand what you want, it doesn’t matter what other methods you use.”

What Princess Ding and the others wanted was naturally that their husbands/fathers were alive. As long as people were alive, there was hope.

Princess Ding suddenly said in her heart: “Thank you, his highness the ninth Prince. I understand.”

Well, the girl is teachable. As expected of a woman who has stayed at the border for so many years, she is decisive.

Ye Shuo left quickly.

What he didn’t know was that after he left, Princess Ding immediately ordered the cook in the mansion to cook rice, chicken, shrimp, fish and other ingredients into a bowl of porridge, and then crush everything inside.

Since the prince is so unwilling to eat properly, just mash it into a paste and feed it to him bit by bit.

In just half an hour, when the eldest prince saw his princess coming in with a bowl of something that he couldn’t make out clearly, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the eldest prince soon experienced the same thing for the second time.

“Yan’er, go and hold down your father’s hands and feet.”

After all, they were husband and wife, and Princess Ding’s method was not as rough as Ye Shuo’s. She was very patient and fed him the bowl of porridge in her hand bit by bit. However, the eldest prince’s discomfort was no less than when Ye Shuo was here just now.

He felt that his dignity as the head of the family was seriously challenged.

“You…how dare you…” Is this still the gentle and docile princess?

Looking at the concubines standing by, none of them came to help him. Some even helped to pry open his mouth when he was struggling.

Princess Ding was unmoved: “Since the prince is unwilling to eat well, then I will come to help the prince.”

“Our family has survived ten years of life at the border. Now that we have finally had a better life, no one should be left behind, especially the prince. Even if he has to die, he can only die after us.”

“Besides, Yan’er and the others are still young and still need the prince. Before they can establish themselves, I will never let anything happen to the prince.”

As she spoke, Princess Ding even very gently wiped the porridge stains on the eldest prince’s lips with a handkerchief. It was obviously a very gentle action, but for some reason, the eldest prince shuddered.

The Ninth Prince is right. The children in the mansion have all grown up. How could they be afraid of him?

Princess Ding couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

Of course, who is the eldest prince? How could he allow a little girl, especially his own wife or concubine, to ride on his head?

But unfortunately, everyone in the palace now listens to the princess. The princess found a reason to send away the few confidants around the eldest prince, so that they would not make trouble at this critical moment.

Ye Shuo was just a leader, but Princess Ding learned everything on her own and made the eldest prince live a life of semi-confinement.

Don’t want to take medicine? Just pour it into your mouth.

Refuse to drink water? Refuse to eat? Then break it up into small pieces and feed it to him.

This kind of life reached its peak when it was discovered that the eldest prince was trying to commit suicide.

In the middle of the night, they felt something was wrong. When the princess and her men broke in, the eldest prince was holding a fruit peeling dagger, and the dagger was now against his neck.

When the princess saw this, her legs went limp.

Seeing his wife fall to the ground, unknown whether she was dead or alive, the eldest prince froze for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Ye Yan snatched the dagger away.

Seeing that the eldest prince had nothing in his hand, Princess Ding climbed up from the ground. Her eyes were grim, and there was no sign of weakness at all.

“Since the prince is determined to abandon us, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Then, the eldest prince was kidnapped.

Originally, the eldest prince could move freely, but now he can only eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed.

When Ye Shuo came the next day, he saw that the eldest prince’s hands and feet were tied with soft cloth, which would not hurt him but could also restrict his movements.

At first, Princess Ding was a little nervous. After all, although they were husband and wife, the eldest prince was still a prince, and it would be a serious crime for her to do this.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me first blinked, and then laughed out loud on the spot.

“Ye Liancheng, ah Ye Liancheng, you have come to this day.”

Princess Ding couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at his brother’s smiling face, the eldest prince felt genuinely humiliated at this moment.

Sometimes, the healing of wounds is also related to the patient’s will, but Princess Ding served him with such good food and drink, and the best doctors from the Imperial Hospital came to treat him and change his dressings every day. Even though the eldest prince was reluctant, he gradually got better.

Looking at the gradually fuller cheeks in the mirror, deep despair suddenly welled up in the eldest prince’s heart.

What the eldest prince could not tolerate the most was that his younger brother laughed so happily every time, as if he was enjoying the fun. However, his wives, concubines and children were not angry at all. Instead, they obeyed his orders and served him with all kinds of delicious food and drinks.

Ye Yan’s brothers have listened to him since they were young, and now they are even worse. For a moment, the eldest prince felt that this was not his own Dingwang Palace, but a branch of Ruiwang Palace.

The eldest prince lay on the bed, feeling as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

He couldn’t even die if he wanted to. The eldest prince had never felt so powerless in his life.

Now no one in the whole palace listens to him, and his brothers are unreliable. Gradually, a figure emerged in the eldest prince’s mind.

If it was my father, he would definitely not…

However, before the eldest prince could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ye Shuo who was standing beside him: “Don’t think about it. With me here, will Dad listen to you?”

“Where do you think my sister-in-law got such confidence?”

With a “puff”, the eldest prince’s fantasy was completely shattered. At this moment, all the eldest prince’s roads were blocked.

No one can be relied upon, and the only way to turn things around is to save yourself.

If he didn’t want to be trapped in this bed for the rest of his life, he could only…

When Princess Ding brought him another bowl of porridge, the eldest prince finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Untie the rope, and I will eat it myself.”

Caught off guard, Princess Ding nearly dropped the porcelain bowl in her hand. She hurriedly grabbed it, but her eyes were a little red.

The prince is willing to eat on his own initiative, which is simply great news.

Princess Ding moved in a hurry, but as soon as her hands touched the strips of cloth tied to the bed, her brother-in-law’s words suddenly flashed through her mind.

Even if Prince Ding showed weakness, he could not be so soft-hearted.

Princess Ding thought about it, and then solemnly asked the eldest prince for a lot of guarantees, promising to eat well, take medicine well, never commit suicide, and so on.

Princess Ding not only wanted him to make a verbal promise, but also asked him to write it down. If he broke the promise, the contents of the letter of promise would be made known to everyone in the world.

The eldest prince: “…”

There’s no need to think about it, it must have been that bad idea that came from my idiot brother.

Resisting the urge to curse, the eldest prince said with a stiff face, “Look, my hands are still tied, how can I write so many words? Why don’t you untie me first, and I will write to you, how about that?”

The eldest prince, who was once upright, has now become petty under pressure.

However, Princess Ding’s gaze fell on the eldest prince’s lips.

The eldest prince’s bad premonition immediately reached its peak.

However, half an hour later, Princess Ding finally got what she wanted.

“Pooh, pooh, pooh!” The eldest prince wiped the corners of his mouth frantically and cursed his younger brother in his heart.

The eldest prince decided that he would avenge himself no matter what.

So when Ye Shuo came again the next day, he saw the eldest prince sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him.

The cloth strips binding his hands and feet were gone, which meant… Ye Shuo reacted instantly and turned around and ran away without hesitation.

The eldest prince, leaning on a crutch that he had asked the craftsmen in the palace to make overnight, chased after him desperately.
