Chapter 48: Fainting
“Your Majesty, long live the emperor.”
Then came the princes.
“Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Father. May your Majesty be well and at peace.”
While everyone was kneeling, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but whisper, “Dad, the morning court is about to start. Are you sure you don’t want to leave?”
This immediately dispelled Emperor Jingwen’s intention to scold him.
If he really teaches his son a lesson, he doesn’t know how long it will take, and the ministers are still waiting.
This little bastard is really good at timing, it feels like he did it on purpose!
“…Wait! I will come back to deal with you later!”Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath, asked everyone to stand up, praised them briefly, told them to keep up the good work, and soon left with Wang Ziquan.
Ye Shuo patted the non-existent wrinkles on his body and swaggered into the study room under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Since Emperor Jingwen personally carried him to school, he was naturally exempted from the more than one hundred beatings.
Lord Cen and the others watched Ye Shuo almost the entire way he walked.
Lord Cen was completely shocked. What kind of rules are these? ?
The Sixth Prince guessed the truth very quickly. Could it be that his father had finally lost his temper because of Shuo’er?
As a permanent resident of Qiuwu Palace, the Sixth Prince often saw Ye Shuo’s annoying nature. Every day, the Royal Concubine was fooled by his mouth and expression, and she kept backing down and had no bottom line at all. Could Shuo’er… use this trick on his father?
The most unbelievable thing is that my father actually bought into this…
The Sixth Prince took a look at the textbook in front of him, and his heart was in turmoil.
Obviously, the Fifth Prince was not the only one who was shocked by the scene just now.
If the Sixth Prince was like this, let alone the young Seventh and Eighth Princes, especially the Eighth Prince, who was too young to hide things, and looked at Ye Shuo with jealousy and envy in his eyes.
The little prince was completely stunned, and then his eyes couldn’t help but burst into deep admiration.
The Ninth Uncle was really amazing, as he could get the usually serious Emperor to carry him to school on his back. No, after the class is over, he must learn something from the Ninth Uncle!
He also wanted his father to carry him to school…
Ye Shuo seemed not to realize how hateful his action just now was. After all, in modern times, it was quite normal for parents to pick up and drop off their children from school. What was the big deal?
Although my stepfather is the emperor, who made me his son?
Ye Shuo acted so calm, as if the scene just now was just a commonplace. This was even more exciting than having Emperor Jingwen himself carry him to school.
Itchy. My hands started to itch.
The veins on the Sixth Prince’s forehead bulged and jumped several times. He kept breathing in and out. It took him a long time to suppress the urge to beat him up when the prince came over.
Completely unaware that he had inadvertently escaped a disaster, Ye Shuo passed by the fifth prince’s seat and saw the torn page of paper, and immediately understood something.
Hehe, I knew he couldn’t help it.
‘you lose.’
Seeing the other party making such a mouth shape towards him clearly, the Fifth Prince’s head suddenly exploded with a buzz.
He never knew that a seven-year-old child could be so irritating.
“You, you——” The Fifth Prince’s fingers were trembling, and he could feel his heart beating non-stop. His breathing gradually became rapid, and then his eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell backwards uncontrollably.
Ye Shuo was stunned: “Huh???”
Huh???
What happened?
The Fifth Prince wouldn’t just… faint from anger at himself, right? ?
In the last moment when Ye Shuo lost consciousness, the Fifth Prince, who had fainted from anger, finally said his last words:
“Ye Shuo, wait for me…”
Is this person a little too fragile?
Ye Shuo didn’t expect the Fifth Prince to be so frivolous, and he was also frightened.
Or maybe he had a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage or something, and I just happened to be unlucky and ran into it.
It’s over, it’s over, this time I’m really in trouble.
Ye Shuo had driven countless times in his life, but this was the first time he overturned his car. Fortunately, he noticed the abnormal complexion of the Fifth Prince from behind, and reached out to check it. It was a little hot, so he realized that the Fifth Prince was sick today, and because he was so angry with him, he probably couldn’t breathe and then fainted.
Oh, young people nowadays are so hot-tempered.
If you had told me earlier that you were sick, I wouldn’t have come to bother him today.
Ye Shuo felt a rare sense of guilt, so he quickly asked someone to send him back to Concubine Shu’s palace: “What are you still standing there for? Why don’t you go get the imperial physician!”
Although Ye Shuo is young, he is very organized when giving orders to people.
After a while, he arranged the people and borrowed a sedan chair from the nearby queen. He sent the Fifth Prince back to Concubine Shu’s palace as quickly as possible, and asked Xiao Luzi to invite the imperial physician. He estimated that when the Fifth Prince arrived, the imperial physician would also arrive.
Ye Shuo originally wanted to be obedient and study hard, but this is a special case. I believe his stepfather can understand.
Ye Shuo believed that this incident was caused by him, so he should naturally take the responsibility, so he supervised the whole process and had no intention of escaping.
Looking at the unconscious Fifth Prince in the sedan chair, the Seventh Prince, who was in the same camp as the Fifth Prince, should have helped to denounce the Ninth Prince, but instead of doing so, he felt secretly relieved in his heart.
Oh, you’ve hit a wall. It should have been like this a long time ago. Someone should have dealt with him a long time ago!
The curtain was quickly pulled down, and the Seventh Prince turned his head again, his expression instantly changing to one of indignation and worry.
“Your Highness, how about… let’s get out of the way.” Xing Yucheng couldn’t help but remind him of this while jogging after the sedan chair and sweating profusely.
When he arrived at Concubine Shu’s palace, she saw what her son had become. After asking around, she realized that it would be strange if the Ninth Prince had a good life.
Xing Yucheng originally thought that the Ninth Prince had forgotten about this matter in a hurry, but after he finished speaking, he just said “um”, saying that he knew, and then there was no further news.
In Ye Shuo’s opinion, he had to listen to what the imperial physician said and make sure there was no major problem before leaving.
Xing Yucheng frowned and wanted to persuade him again, but he saw Ye Shuo pointing to the palace gate not far away: “Keep your voice down, Qingyi Palace is coming soon.”
Concubine Shu had already received the news in advance and was now standing at the palace gate, looking around anxiously.
Xing Yucheng shut his mouth instantly.
“Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu. Good luck to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu.” Perhaps because she was too flustered to hear, or because she was deliberately ignoring him, Ye Shuo’s gesture of bowing and paying respects was simply ignored.
Seeing this, Ye Shuo was not embarrassed. He waited for a while and then stood up by himself.
Concubine Shu subconsciously stepped forward to lift the curtain of the sedan chair. When she saw the Fifth Prince with his eyes closed and teeth clenched inside, her face suddenly turned pale.
After realizing what was happening, Concubine Shu hurriedly called out to the maids and eunuchs beside her: “Quick, help the Fifth Prince to the side hall!”
The palace servants received the order and started to act in a panic.
During the whole process, no one paid any attention to Ye Shuo who was standing next to him. Even Xing Yucheng couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for the Ninth Prince.
Well, the imperial physician hasn’t arrived yet, and hasn’t even examined the Fifth Prince’s pulse. How can Concubine Shu unilaterally determine that it was really because of the Ninth Prince that the Fifth Prince fainted from anger?
It’s not easy for a good person to be upset so easily.
“Your Highness…”
Xing Yucheng had just made a sound and started to speak when he saw Ye Shuo next to him shaking his head slightly at him, signaling him to be quiet.
Xing Yucheng had no choice but to do as he was told.
Ye Shuo also tried to reduce his presence and followed behind the crowd, trying not to get in the way of Concubine Shu’s eyes.
After a period of chaos, the Fifth Prince was placed steadily on the bed in his room. Concubine Shu suddenly realized what was happening and was about to ask someone to call the imperial physician when she saw the imperial physician hurriedly walking in with a medicine box.
“Don’t panic, Madam. Let me check the Fifth Prince’s pulse first.”
This imperial physician was not the one she was used to, but was invited by someone close to Ye Shuo. Naturally, he was the one who had closer relations with the Qiuwu Palace. When the pulse was first taken, Concubine Shu did not say anything. But when she saw that the other party spread out the acupuncture bag and was about to give acupuncture, Concubine Shu had to speak up and said, “Imperial Physician Xu will be here soon. Let’s talk after he arrives.” Her defensive attitude was obvious.
The old doctor was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the Ninth Prince behind him.
When the Ninth Prince asked the eunuchs around him to invite him, he specifically instructed him to take away the medicinal materials that the imperial concubine had previously stored in the Imperial Hospital.
Although they are all symptomatic medicines, the ones that are older are relatively more effective.
But seeing that the Ninth Prince shook his head slightly at him, the old doctor said nothing and left with the medicine box.
Originally, before leaving, he wanted to tell Concubine Shu about his diagnosis, that the Fifth Prince was not seriously ill, in order to comfort Concubine Shu, but after thinking about it, he thought that she might not believe him, so he gave up.
Concubine Shu quickly sent for Doctor Xu. While they were waiting, perhaps because she felt Ye Shuo was an eyesore or because the sight of the Fifth Prince lying there was too painful, Concubine Shu suddenly spoke, “Ninth Prince, there are too many people in Qingyi Palace right now. It would be bad if you were hurt. I’m sorry that I can’t entertain you for the time being. Please go back, Ninth Prince.”
Upon hearing this, Xing Yucheng subconsciously looked at the Ninth Prince.
Ye Shuo didn’t think there was anything wrong with Concubine Shu’s attitude, it was very normal.
“My Lady Shufei, I want to wait for my fifth brother to wake up and make sure he is okay before leaving.”
This was a perfectly normal sentence, but it sounded so harsh to Concubine Shu’s ears. She tightened her grip on the handkerchief and her expression became even colder. She suppressed her disgust and said stiffly, “No need.”
Unable to hold back, Concubine Shu said sarcastically, “Hong’er cannot bear such ‘kindness’ from you, the Ninth Prince.”
Concubine Shu deliberately emphasized the last two words.
This has happened so many times that Xing Yucheng thought that given the Ninth Prince’s temperament, he would definitely turn the Qingyi Palace upside down.
After all, this is a fierce man who even dares to touch the emperor when he is angry. The Ninth Prince is so lawless, acts arrogantly and has no scruples. How can he tolerate Concubine Shu?
Just when Xing Yucheng thought that a conflict was inevitable, he saw Ye Shuo slowly step forward, and then… bowed to Concubine Shu in a proper manner: “My Lady Concubine Shu, I’m sorry, this is indeed my fault.”
Xing Yucheng’s eyes almost popped out.
This, this, this… is this really the Ninth Prince? ?
Staring blankly at the scene in front of him, Xing Yucheng suddenly felt that the Ninth Prince was not completely without merit.
