Chapter 216: Getting Angry
“…Call me Sixth Brother.”
Even at this time, the Sixth Prince still subconsciously corrected his address.
After a while, with the help of his arm, the dizziness in front of his eyes disappeared a little. The Sixth Prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “Fortunately, it’s nothing serious.”
Even in this state, you still say it’s nothing serious? ? ?
Noticing that his breathing rhythm is much faster than that of ordinary people, Ye Shuo hurriedly said: “I’ll go find a doctor for you.”
However, just as Ye Shuo turned around, he saw the Sixth Prince blocking his way.
“Don’t go.”
Ye Shuo: “?”Seeing his brother’s puzzled look, the Sixth Prince sighed inwardly, thinking that he was too naive.
After hesitating for a while, the Sixth Prince finally said, “If the imperial physician comes, it may be bad for me.”
I have only been working for a few days and I have already collapsed from exhaustion. If the court officials knew about this, they would inevitably wonder whether I am qualified to sit in that position with such poor health.
Whether the heir is in good health is also a criterion for court officials to measure. Otherwise, frequent changes of kings may be even more terrifying than the king’s mediocre ability.
So no matter what, you can’t let others know.
Ye Shuo was shocked: “But you can’t just keep putting it off like this, right?” In Ye Shuo’s opinion, seeing a doctor when one is sick is the most natural thing to do.
“What if something goes wrong?”
The Sixth Prince felt fine: “I know my own body well, I just need a little rest.”
Ye Shuo paused and said, “If it really doesn’t work, tell our father to stop and take a rest.”
It’s just a break, no one will die.
However, the Sixth Prince still shook his head after hearing this.
Now is the critical moment, he can’t stop, and he didn’t dare to stop. After so many years of painstaking planning, if it fails because of such a small matter, the Sixth Prince will regret it too late.
It has to be said that the current situation is exactly the same as what Emperor Jingwen had guessed, and even worse.
The Sixth Prince is smarter than Emperor Jingwen thought.
The Sixth Prince had long guessed that everything before his eyes was just a test given to him by his father. If he could get through it, everything would go smoothly and his dream would come true. If he couldn’t, all his hard work and efforts over the years would be in vain.
How could the Sixth Prince allow himself to fall before dawn?
The Crown Prince was so glorious in the past, but he still fell at any time, didn’t he? The lesson from the past is there, and the Sixth Prince will never let himself follow the Crown Prince’s footsteps.
The Sixth Prince watched helplessly as the Crown Prince was brought down from his throne. Moreover, he was also one of the participants in the incident. Now, he was just like the Crown Prince back then. If he made the slightest mistake, he would be doomed.
His father is watching, his brothers are watching, and the court officials are watching even more, so no matter what, the Sixth Prince will not reveal even the slightest flaw.
The Sixth Prince lost his mother when he was born. His mother was just a little palace maid. Ever since he could remember, the Sixth Prince had experienced the ups and downs of the palace. If the Imperial Noble Consort had not taken him to Qiuwu Palace, he would probably have been tortured to death by the palace maids around him within a few years.
So at that time the Sixth Prince swore that he would never live that kind of life again in his life.
He said it and did it.
The Sixth Prince knew that he did not have the capital and backing of his other brothers, nor was he a very smart man. In terms of studying, he was not as good as the Eighth Prince, and in terms of family background, he was not as good as the Ninth Prince. After much thought, the Sixth Prince found that the only thing he had to show off was his diligence.
He has to work several times harder than others to reach the same height as others.
Fortunately, he was about to succeed. His hard work was not in vain and God was kind to him.
I have already done ninety-nine bows, only this one shiver is left. Except for Xiaojiu, anyone else would have to try his best.
The Sixth Prince knew that people needed to walk more, rest more, and not overwork. Ever since the issue of offspring, the Sixth Prince knew better than anyone that Ye Shuo was right and he did not lie to him. But the Sixth Prince had no choice. There were so many eyes watching him, he had no choice but to keep going until he successfully sat in that position.
The fight for succession is a one-way street from beginning to end. Once you start, there is no turning back.
The Sixth Prince knew that he couldn’t go on like this, but he had no other choice.
So, wait a while, wait a little longer, just hold on.
Once you get through this stage, things will be easy in the future.
The Sixth Prince couldn’t help but comfort himself in this way.
Ye Shuo opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything. He wanted to persuade him again, but found that he couldn’t persuade him at all.
Xiao Ming knows everything, but he still chose this path. How can I change him?
None of his brothers are stupid, they just have different aspirations and you can’t force them.
Ye Shuo couldn’t help scratching his head: “Then what are you going to do? Let me tell you, if you collapse now, you will really lose everything.”
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but look up at him.
Ye Shuo inexplicably felt that the look in the other person’s eyes made him feel uneasy.
“W-What do you mean? What do you want to do?”
The Sixth Prince was silent for a moment, then said, “Xiao Jiu is indeed smart.”
However, his praise of himself instantly gave Ye Shuo goosebumps, and he almost jumped three feet high. His eyes instantly became alert: “I’m warning you, don’t do anything reckless.”
The Sixth Prince’s subsequent words further confirmed Ye Shuo’s guess.
“I remember that Miss Yao is still living in your house.” This was the only solution. As he said, if he collapsed now, he would really lose everything.
Ye Shuo: “…”
As expected, he really had Yao Zhi on his mind!
The Sixth Prince still trusted Yao Zhi’s medical skills. She could cure the Fourth Prince’s leg injury, let alone himself.
“You are the only one I can trust now.”
As for the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, there was no way the Sixth Prince would trust them.
There are no true brothers in the royal family, and there are very few people who can be trusted.
When saying this, the Sixth Prince’s brows showed weakness and fatigue that could not be concealed.
Ye Shuo couldn’t tell for a moment whether he was real or pretending. After all, he was a ruthless person who knew how to use any means to achieve his goals at the age of four or five. This guy was no worse than him in acting.
But he had no choice. The current situation of the Sixth Prince was indeed miserable. Ye Shuo hesitated for a while, but finally nodded: “…Okay.”
“But I have to tell you in advance that I am only taking you there. It is up to Miss Yao to decide whether to help you or not.”
The Sixth Prince: “…”
My younger brother is too low in status.
The Sixth Prince originally wanted to tell him that he couldn’t do that, but thinking about his brother’s temper, he decided to give up. It would be bad if he accidentally offended him.
Ye Shuo originally planned to carry him on his back, which would be faster, but he knew with his toes that the Sixth Prince would not agree.
In the end, Ye Shuo pretended to chat with him, but actually served as his crutch, supporting him all the way, and they got on the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove out of the palace. On the way, the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but ask, “What have you been doing with my father these days? My father doesn’t even approve memorials.”
As for who is reviewing the memorials now, isn’t the answer obvious?
However, this sudden reliance made the Sixth Prince a little flustered. He felt uneasy and was afraid that there was a trap waiting for him.
But in fact, it’s not that complicated.
Ye Shuo didn’t take it seriously at all, and said casually: “Oh, you mean that, I was playing mahjong with my mother and Jian Jian, and we were short of one person, so I thought of asking my father to come over.”
The Sixth Prince: “…”
The Sixth Prince never expected this to happen.
“Eh? Sixth brother, why do you look so ugly all of a sudden?”
So while I was working so hard, they were playing cards in Qiuwu Palace, right?
The Sixth Prince opened his mouth and finally uttered two words: “Haha.”
Then the Sixth Prince refused to speak again.
After about half an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of Prince Rui’s Palace.
As luck would have it, the Sixth Prince happened to run into Ye Xun who was returning from burning incense for the Crown Prince, and the uncle and nephew were inevitably a little awkward for a moment.
Ever since the death of the crown prince, Ye Xun has not left his house and has basically never had any dealings with his uncles again.
As for the Sixth Prince, he was also one of the driving forces behind the Crown Prince’s suicide. When facing the Crown Prince’s legitimate son, he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
But the Sixth Prince had experienced a lot of ups and downs, so he would not show it at all.
Neither of them intended to say much, they just greeted each other briefly and left.
When he reached the corner, looking at his back, Ye Xun subconsciously thought, what is the Sixth Uncle doing here? And his face seemed to be a little pale…
Before Ye Xun could think about it, the Sixth Prince walked into Ye Shuo’s yard.
After a while, Yao Zhi also came here.
Even though Ye Shuo said that Yao Zhi might not necessarily help, it was Ye Shuo who asked after all, so how could Yao Zhi refuse?
It’s not a big deal after all.
However, after Yao Zhi asked about the Sixth Prince’s symptoms and took his pulse, her brows subconsciously frowned.
She remembered that the man in front of her was only a few years older than Ye Shuo, right? He was in his prime, but his body was quite weak.
It seems to be caused by long-term fatigue, excessive thinking and lack of rest.
But fortunately, he is still young. If he takes good care of himself for two or three years, he should be able to make up for most of it.
Yao Zhi thought so and said so.
However, what the Sixth Prince lacks now is just these two or three years. He couldn’t help but look at his younger brother.
What else could Ye Shuo do? He couldn’t force the Sixth Prince to sleep. If he did that, the Sixth Prince would not only not be grateful to him, but would probably hate him to death.
That is Xiao Ming’s lifelong desire and dream…
Ye Shuo pulled the corner of his mouth and asked in a low voice: “Um… can you find a way to replenish him on the basis of maintaining the current situation?”
Maintaining the status quo means… doesn’t it mean that we have to endure like we are now? ?
The Fourth Prince was like this in the beginning, and the Sixth Prince is still like this now.
Yao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and her anger suddenly rose.
