Chapter 245: Serious Illness

How could Ye Shuo not be terrified?

The cheap big brother actually had such an idea in mind. No wonder Ye Yan was hesitating just now, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn’t. For something like this, Ye Shuo never thought about himself at all.

Then, Ye Shuo rushed forward without hesitation and covered the eldest prince’s mouth with his hands.

“Brother, just treat it as your brother begging you to stop talking nonsense, okay?”

At first Ye Shuo thought that the eldest prince was so anxious to come and beat him up, but now it seems that he might as well get beaten up.

Ye Shuo subconsciously looked around, and when he found that they were the only two in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, the cheap brother is not so tactless. He had already sent the servants away when he was talking just now. Otherwise, if this got to Xiao Ming’s ears, it would be a disaster!

Even so, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but jump up and down: “Brother, it’s true that I just watched you having fun for a few days, but it’s not a crime. Why do you repay kindness with hatred!”

“Repaying kindness with enmity? You actually said that I repay kindness with enmity?!” The pride in his heart shattered in an instant, and the eldest prince pushed his hand away with an incredible look on his face.

“Did you understand what I just said?” The eldest prince wanted to get angry at first, but thinking about his younger brother’s brain, he barely suppressed his anger, then broke it down and explained it to him again.

But what he didn’t know was that it was because he understood what he was saying that Ye Shuo was so frightened, okay?

Just ask who wouldn’t be scared if this happened to them!

After a while, Ye Shuo’s head was shaking like a rattle.

“I don’t care. I don’t want it. You can find whoever you want, but don’t find me.”

Ye Shuo has been the prince for so many years, and he is finally going to retire. If he is asked to get involved at this time, wouldn’t that be like asking him to die? He would be crazy to agree to work for 007 while living such a stable and comfortable life now.

The eldest prince was also shocked: “You know, your eighth brother tried his best to take this list!”

However, the other brother was so resistant that for a moment, the eldest prince felt completely insulted.

Ye Shuo did not hesitate and said, “Since Big Brother wants it, then just give it to Big Brother.”

“Don’t you think that I don’t want it? If it can be given, will it be your turn?” What the eldest prince said was absolutely true. If it can be left to one’s own people, no one would give such a good thing to others.

But the eldest prince now clearly sees in his heart that his own brother… is not a person worthy of trust. No matter how much he talks now, it can’t change his profit-seeking nature.

If something like this happens once, it will definitely happen a second time.

Ye Shuo thought about it and felt that it was true, so he said, “Then you should just give it to Xiao Ming. You can also earn some favours, which is a good thing.”

After hearing this, the eldest prince’s head suddenly became filled with blood.

It was already humiliating enough that he had failed to seize the throne and was overtaken by others. Now he had to surrender to the Sixth Prince like a dog, taking away all his years of hard work. How could the eldest prince tolerate this?

The eldest prince had not forgotten that the Sixth Prince had used him as a stepping stone to get into his father’s sight.

“I would rather feed them to a dog than give it to him!” the eldest prince blurted out in rage.

Ye Shuo: “…”

How come even at this point, the cheap brother  still can’t let it go…

In this case, there is only one last solution left.

Ye Shuo said: “Since this and that don’t work, just keep them in your hands.” Anyway, his cheap brother has completely lost hope. Even if he has more things in his hands, it won’t be a big deal. Those people at most won’t be able to get promoted, and their lives should not be in danger.

Rather than following the wrong person, it is better to maintain the status quo.

Seeing that he refused to agree after all he said, the eldest prince became anxious: “Don’t you want to sit in that position?”

The eldest prince had never seen a prince who did not have this kind of thoughts, especially the kind of prince who had a great chance but remained motionless.

Hearing this, Ye Shuo shook his head very honestly: “No.”

The eldest prince was stunned.

After reacting, the eldest prince who had successfully created a misunderstanding could not help but grit his teeth and say, “What kind of magic potion did the Sixth Prince give you that makes you so afraid of him?” He did not even have the slightest thought of resisting.

I’m not really afraid, but I’m definitely worried.

If Xiao Ming was gone, what if the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by someone? At that time, there would be turmoil both internally and externally, and not only would the common people suffer, but he, the prince, would also suffer.

So this should also be considered a disguised form of fear? Thinking about it carefully, what the eldest prince said is not wrong.

Ye Shuo nodded hurriedly: “Afraid.”

Seeing that his younger brother spoke without hesitation, with a sincere and serious look on his face, as if he was saying something that was the most natural thing, the eldest prince’s head buzzed, and the string called reason was completely broken.

The eldest prince stood up in an instant, leaning on his crutches, and cursed at him: “Idiot, coward, waste! You are such a useless person!”

Caught off guard and sprayed in the face, Ye Shuo didn’t take it seriously and even laughed: “Since big brother knows, don’t embarrass your younger brother.”

Ye Shuo doesn’t care about face or not. He wishes all his brothers would think he is a waste.

The eldest prince’s hands suddenly began to move.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo suddenly became alert and subconsciously took several steps back.

“I’m telling you, don’t do anything. You can’t beat me now, and I won’t be polite.”

Hearing the noise, Yao Zhi thought something had happened and hurried in.

Seeing that the two were about to draw their swords, Yao Zhi frowned and subconsciously blocked the young man with her sword. Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but cast a smug look at his cheap brother.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It can be seen that he is not only afraid of the Sixth Prince, but also likes to live off women.

How could their Ye family produce such a weirdo? It’s really amazing.

The eldest prince’s eyelids twitched violently a few times.

In the end, the eldest prince looked at him carefully, said “Don’t regret it”, and left angrily.

Only then did Yao Zhi look at her young husband.

“What’s wrong?” she asked casually.

Ye Shuo didn’t hesitate and told her what happened just now. At the end, he couldn’t help but feel indignant: “Isn’t this pure deception? If I had known this, I would have ignored him!”

Yao Zhi: “…”

Although she also didn’t want him to be dragged into the vortex of the fight for the throne, at this moment, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy for him.

I guess the eldest prince must have felt very aggrieved just now…

After a while, Ye Yan and Princess Ding thought that their father/prince would calm down soon, but unexpectedly, after a trip to Prince Rui’s mansion, he became even angrier when he came back.

His father/prince was so angry that he kept cursing all the way and knocking his cane loudly.

No need to think about it, it definitely didn’t work.

Ye Yan and Princess Ding were also extremely surprised. The mother and son looked at each other and saw a hint of amazement in each other’s eyes.

The other side.

The Seventh Prince only knew that his eldest brother went to Prince Rui’s Palace, but there was no movement after that. After paying attention for a long time, he did not see any subsequent actions from the two, so he gave up.

Perhaps the commotion was so loud that even the Sixth Prince heard about it. So when he met his younger brother in the palace, he casually asked a few questions.

“What happened on that day that made Big Brother so angry?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but scratch his head, looking embarrassed.

It felt like it wasn’t a good idea to say this out loud, but lying to him would be even worse, so Ye Shuo thought about it and said, “Can I… not tell you?”

The Sixth Prince never thought that he would actually say such a thing to him. After all, usually when the brothers encountered something they didn’t want to tell others, they would either talk about it or just laugh it off. This was the first time that the Sixth Prince heard such an answer.

But in fact, Ye Shuo didn’t want to do that, but there was no way, none of his brothers were fools, and instead of lying and being caught, which would make everyone embarrassed, it would be better to be honest.

Those who treat others as fools and like to be clever are the real fools.

The Sixth Prince was silent for a while, and asked for the first time: “What if I really want to listen?”

Normally, the Sixth Prince was a very tactful person, so why was he different when he met him?

Ye Shuo sighed in his heart, looked around, and found that there was no one else, so he pulled him aside and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret.”

The Sixth Prince nodded.

Then, he found out that the eldest prince wanted to force the things that the eighth prince wanted on Xiaojiu.

“…”

He never expected that he would actually tell this matter out loud. The Sixth Prince was speechless for a long time.

“Okay, I’ve finished. Do you have anything else to add? If not, I’m leaving.” Ye Shuo pointed to Chengming Palace not far away.

Since he had already asked, it would be rude not to reciprocate, so the Sixth Prince reluctantly gave his opinion.

“The Eighth Prince has too bad a character, so he is not the best choice. As for you… I am afraid you cannot convince the people, so you are not the best candidate either.” As for himself, the Sixth Prince had never considered him at all. With the eldest prince’s temper, he would rather feed the dog than leave it for himself.

I have to say, the Sixth Prince’s guess was really accurate.

“It’s best to let go of those who are determined to climb up. If they are not, it’s fine to keep them in Big Brother’s hand.”

“Isn’t that right?” Ye Shuo agreed deeply.

“That’s what I told my eldest brother, but he still scolded me. He really doesn’t know how to appreciate a good person!”

“Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I guess Dad is getting impatient waiting for me. I’m leaving first. You…you should do your best. Bye!”

Looking at Xiaojiu’s back, the Sixth Prince opened his mouth. After a long while, he sighed deeply, with a look of helplessness on his face.

There’s no way, I just can’t get angry…

In the end, just as the Sixth Prince had expected, the Eighth Prince’s eyes became red, the First Prince held those people and refused to give them to him, and the First Prince tried his best to stuff them into Xiaojiu’s hands, but Xiaojiu seemed to have encountered a flood and a beast, and in the end he simply avoided him. It must be said that this scene was really funny.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye the whole winter was over.

On New Year’s Eve, the eldest prince hesitated for a while, but finally came to the palace on crutches to attend the family dinner.

At the family dinner, the eldest prince was like a firecracker. He couldn’t help but suspect that others were talking about him when they were whispering below, so he simply armed himself, and when he saw someone looking in his direction, he immediately put on a murderous expression.

Now that the eldest prince has lost a leg, his temper has become even more violent. But if you think about it, it is understandable. If it were me, I guess I wouldn’t be much better.

When the eldest prince met Emperor Jingwen, they were both silent for a while, and then turned their heads away at the same time.

Emperor Jingwen was thinking, if he remembered correctly, the eldest brother is almost forty years old this year, and he doesn’t look as proud as before.

The eldest prince was thinking in his heart that the old man was really old. He could not even stand steadily and needed someone to help him walk.

Emperor Jingwen distributed New Year’s money to his sons, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as usual. On the surface, Ye Shuo received the same amount as everyone else, but in fact, his stepfather had secretly given a big red envelope to him, Jian Jian and Yao Zhi before the dinner started.

However, after just half an hour, Emperor Jingwen could no longer sit still. Seeing this, Ye Shuo stood up and helped him back to Chengming Hall.

It’s no use. I’m really old and I’m afraid I don’t have many days left.

After just a few steps, Emperor Jingwen was a little out of breath. He knew in his heart that he might not have much time left, and the imperial doctors who looked more and more frightened when they saw him also confirmed this.

Looking sideways at his youngest son, who was still very young, Emperor Jingwen could not help but think as his consciousness blurred, “Just hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer. At least, I can hold on until his birthday…”

After a while, Emperor Jingwen fell into a deep sleep.
