Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 142: Departure



“Are you going or not? If you are going, shut up and stop talking so much.”

Perhaps Xing Yucheng’s chattering annoyed Ye Shuo, so Ye Shuo said this.

Xing Yucheng subconsciously closed his mouth.

After standing there hesitating for a while, seeing Ye Shuo walking further and further away, Xing Yucheng finally gritted his teeth and followed him.

Just go, there’s nothing to be afraid of!

The worst that can happen is that I’ll be scolded by my father and mother when I get back.

At this moment, Xing Yucheng suddenly forgot his parents’ instructions.

Perhaps it was because Ye Shuo made too much noise, and before long even the imperial concubine in the room heard about it.

Su Yue was a little anxious when she heard this: “My queen, please go and persuade His Highness the Ninth Prince!”

The Ninth Prince has always been naughty, so now is the time for him to listen to Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong paused holding the snacks, and then, to the great surprise of Su Yue and the others, Concubine Rong actually said something like this:

“My son has done nothing wrong, why should I stop him?”

After her father won the battle, he was forced to apologize to Beiting. This kind of humiliation was fine for her family once, but it must not be endured a second time!

“Shuo’er is like my son this way.”

Moreover, Concubine Rong also believed in her own judgment of men. The emperor was not the late emperor, and he would never let his son suffer any injustice.

But this alone was not enough. Concubine Rong thought about it, turned back to the room, took out the badge from the drawer, and handed it to Su Yue.

“Go there in person and tell my father about this.”

The imperial concubine is planning to move out the old Duke of Zhen.

Su Yue was totally surprised by this development.

The other side.

The first people Ye Shuo met after going out were the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince.

The two seemed to be arguing about something in the corridor. The Second Prince had a calm expression, while the Fifth Prince, who was now eighteen years old, had a flushed face.

“Second brother, are we really going to let them do whatever they want—”

“Ninth brother, why are you here?” Without waiting for his younger brother to finish speaking, the second prince spoke suddenly as if he had seen something.

Seeing that Ye Shuo’s expression seemed a little strange, the Second Prince was a little surprised: “Ninth brother, you seem to be in a bad mood. Can I ask who made you so angry?”

The Fifth Prince then noticed that Xiaojiu had come to his side at some point.

Ye Shuo didn’t intend to waste time, and casually said: “Apart from that group of envoys, who else could it be?”

“Forget it. I won’t say any more to you. I have to go see what the situation is outside.”

After saying this, without noticing the changes in the two men’s expressions, Ye Shuo hurriedly left with his attendants and companions.

Ye Shuo walked in a hurry, so he didn’t hear what the Fifth Prince seemed to say.

“Don’t be anxious, Xiaojiu, wait for me——”

What Ye Shuo didn’t know was that the two of them had just quarreled because of this matter. After hearing what Ye Shuo said, the Fifth Prince’s eyes immediately lit up.

However, just as he was about to chase after them, the Second Prince stopped him without hesitation: “Now that everyone has come forward, why are you so anxious?”

In the second prince’s opinion, the eldest prince and the crown prince have not made any move yet, so it is not their turn to intervene in this matter.

Now, the eldest prince and the crown prince did not move, but the ninth prince moved first, so there is no need for them to get involved in this mess.

This is a thankless job. If it is handled well, it will be fine, at most you will get a few words of praise. But if it is not handled well and it causes conflict between the two countries, you will become a sinner in an instant.

After weighing the pros and cons, the second prince felt that it was not worth it, so he just pretended not to see it.

“But I’m afraid that Xiaojiu—”

“Don’t worry, with Xiaojiu’s personality, he won’t suffer any loss.” On the contrary, he is the most suitable person to take the lead, both in terms of identity and age.

The second prince’s eyes flickered.

The fifth prince still felt uneasy and wanted to take action, but before he could even lift his foot, he heard the second prince’s slightly warning voice.

“Fifth brother.”

The Fifth Prince’s movements suddenly stopped and he met his brother’s eyes. After a long while, he was finally forced to stop.

The second person Ye Shuo met was Ye Xun.

The little prince kicked pebbles as he walked, looking very unhappy.

Perhaps the things happening outside have affected the palace, making everyone quite restless. These two people who are usually not seen have now appeared.

After seeing his dear Ninth Uncle, Ye Xun casually asked him what he was planning to do in such a hurry.

Ye Xun thought that the Ninth Prince had suffered another of his old illness and was planning to go outside to listen to books and music. He was about to remind him that things were not peaceful outside recently, but when he heard him say that he was going to settle accounts with the envoy from Beiting, Ye Xun suddenly perked up.

“Take me with you, Uncle Nine!”

As the legitimate son of the Crown Prince, Ye Xun was taught every day that he was the most noble person in the world, and that no one was more noble than him except his grandfather the Emperor and his father.

But when the envoys from Beiting arrived, Ye Xun found that this was not the case. At least when he was helping to deal with diplomatic affairs, those people were quite rude to him.

This made Ye Xun wonder, is Da Zhou really as powerful as others say?

But Ye Xun didn’t dare to ask such a question, and kept it in his heart. It would be strange if he was happy after a long time.

So when Ye Xun heard Ye Shuo say this, he couldn’t help it immediately.

He also wanted to let those envoys see how powerful their Great Zhou was.

Ye Shuo didn’t want to take him with him at first, and he didn’t even try to hide the contempt in his eyes. What can a seven-year-old kid do? He completely forgot that he was also a kid in the eyes of others.

However, Ye Xun kept pestering him, Ninth Uncle first and Ninth Uncle second, and Ye Shuo had no choice but to nod: “…Okay then.”

Actually, Ye Xun still has some good points. After all, he is the prince’s legitimate son, and the two attendants around him are also good in martial arts, so it is not a loss to accept him.

And wherever Ye Xun is, there must be Ye Yan and the others.

The prince’s son has such ambition, so they, as their father’s sons, should not lag behind, right?

As uncles, they can’t be partial to one and neglect the other.

Just like that, when Ye Shuo arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, there was already a large group of people following him.

Seeing this scene, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

For a moment, he wondered if he had come here to take care of the child.

Because of the arrival of the envoys, there were so many envoys in public, but no one knew how many there were in private. The imperial palace itself was under martial law recently, and the commander-in-chief was alarmed in a short while.

But Ye Shuo not only showed no sign of repentance, but asked the commander-in-chief for guards.

Since they came to our house, how can we do it without thugs?

The commander-in-chief: “…”

He really is worthy of being the Ninth Prince. I was really stupid just now. I actually expected him to be obedient and turn back.

The commander-in-chief looked at him, and Ye Shuo looked back without giving in. The four looked into each other’s eyes, and neither of them was willing to give in.

In the end, it was the commander-in-chief who looked away first.

The commander-in-chief transferred thirty guards over. Although the number was not large, each of them was an expert.

The commander-in-chief can only give this much. Thirty guards are enough to protect the prince and the emperor’s grandson. Any more would be a pure declaration of war.

“Thank you.” Ye Shuo casually bowed to the commander-in-chief, thinking that this man was really nice. He thought a dozen would be enough, but he didn’t expect him to be so generous and give to so many people at once.

Looking at the Ninth Prince’s back, the commander-in-chief smiled bitterly.

In his opinion, the Ninth Prince was the most considerate one.

This group of people have to worry about so much, but in the end they have to rely on an eleven-year-old prince. It is simply the biggest joke in the world.

Compared to them, Emperor Jingwen could be said to be the first one to receive the news.

Emperor Jingwen made a prompt decision and shouted to the empty space in front of him: “Wu Yi.”

“The servant is here.”

“You go, follow them.” Looking into the eyes of the secret guard, Emperor Jingwen spoke each word with emphasis: “Make sure that those people don’t harm my son in the slightest.”

“yes!”

After Wu Yi left, Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath and said sternly: “Come here, inform the Jingzhao Yin to lead the people to prepare. If the Beiting envoy dares to fight back, immediately send people to capture him!”

Emperor Jingwen has finally endured enough.

This Beiting is really going too far!

He had no idea that his small action would cause so many people to follow suit. After Ye Shuo left the palace with a group of little followers, he began to search for the envoys.

However, he didn’t know whether he was unlucky or just missed it. After searching for a long time, he didn’t even see the shadow of a person.

In addition, Ye Shuo came out today wearing the clothes of a prince, and the common people would retreat away from him, so how could they rush to approach him? It was difficult for him to even ask for information.

But Ye Shuo was unwilling to give up just like that.

After touring the entire Shangjing City, Ye Shuo thought about it and finally decided to go to the post station.

What if? What if we find something at the posthouse?

Ye Shuo calmed down and led his men towards the inn again.

And this time, Ye Shuo actually saw with his own eyes the envoy attacking the people.

Although the location was an inn, this inn was also the territory of the Great Zhou. Even if it was really the people of the Great Zhou who made the mistake first, it was not their turn to teach them a lesson. Naturally, there would be punishment according to the law.

Besides, the real situation may not be what it is.

Seeing that the woman in coarse cloth was about to be knocked to the ground by several Beiting people, Ye Shuo said without thinking, “Stop!”

When the Beiting people heard the language of the Great Zhou, they were stunned at first. However, even when they saw that Ye Shuo, the leader, was wearing the clothes of a prince, they still did not take him seriously. They just carried on as usual.

Ye Shuo’s eyes suddenly turned cold: “How dare these foreigners look down on the royal family? Come on, take them down!”

“yes!”

There were only two people from Beiting who took action, while Ye Shuo had a full thirty guards. In a short while, the two Beiting men were pinned to the ground, and even their rough faces were soon rubbed to bloody marks by the gravel on the ground.

He didn’t know if it was because he also had a deep resentment towards this group of people, but Ye Shuo always felt that these guards had done a heavy job.

But Ye Shuo was too lazy to care, and he hoped that they would be ruthless. Ye Shuo just stepped forward and helped the woman who fell to the ground and was covered with scars: “I will take you to find a clinic now.”

At this moment, Ye Shuo didn’t think too much about it. He just thought that the other party had offended this group of people, so he was beaten innocently.

But the next moment, the woman seemed to collapse and cried out, “Don’t worry about me, don’t worry about me, go, go and save my daughter!”

Ye Shuo’s heart skipped a beat. After he came to his senses, he turned around abruptly and looked at the inn that was shining and magnificent in the sun, but now it seemed like an abyss.

The vermilion wall, shining under the midday sun, seemed to be weeping blood.

Ye Shuo’s expression suddenly became extremely terrifying.
