Chapter 244: Terror
Seeing this, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little worried: “Did you catch a cold?”
Ye Shuo was about to say that he was not that fragile, but when he noticed her look, he thought about it and shook his head: “I don’t know…”
Then he added: “I do feel a little cold.”
Winter is coming and the weather is getting colder. Even at noon it is not as warm as before.
Yao Zhi subconsciously hugged him tighter, then realised that she might have been deceived.
But after catching the cunning in his eyes, Yao Zhi hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not expose him.
Yao Zhi was reading a book in her hand while rubbing his earlobe from time to time. After a while, Ye Shuo closed his eyes comfortably.
As Yao Zhi watched, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why haven’t you visited big brother in the past few days?” In the past, he used to visit big brother very frequently.Ye Shuo sighed when he heard this: “I’m too lazy to go. It’s boring.”
The eldest prince is now like a chicken with blood pumped up. He runs around the palace on crutches all day long. He swings his crutches with great vigour, and the muscles on his arms are even more obvious than before. Ye Shuo weighed the matter for a long time and felt that it was not cost-effective. What if one day he is not paying attention and is pounced on and bitten by him? Wouldn’t that be a big loss for him?
So he really went to see the eldest prince make a fool of himself before…
Yao Zhi paused while rubbing his earlobe, but didn’t say anything. If he didn’t want to go, then he didn’t have to go. What was the big deal?
On the other hand, Ye Yan was surprised for a moment when he didn’t expect his father to ask about his ninth uncle at this time. He said, “Uncle Nine may be busy recently…”
Seeing the eldest prince frowning, Ye Yan hurriedly said, “Son will go to Uncle Jiu’s house and take a look!”
Having said that, Ye Yan disappeared in a flash.
Ye Yan and Ye Shuo grew up together, so the housekeeper did not stop him when he saw him. Xiao Luzi wanted to remind him, but before he could say anything, Ye Yan didn’t think too much and just walked in.
Then, Ye Yan saw the scene of his uncle leaning in the arms of his aunt.
Ye Yan was completely dumbfounded.
In a flash, Yao Zhi pushed the young man away. Ye Shuo cleared his throat, not blushing at all, and even reminded him, “Remember to knock on the door next time.”
Ye Yanmu nodded dumbly, but what he was thinking was, it turns out that the uncle and aunt are actually like this in private…
So the question is, how should I tell this to the Ninth Prince?
Finally, Ye Yan thought about it and said, “Uncle Jiu, my father wants to see you.”
Ye Shuo was stunned for a moment, and without much thought, he said: “If that’s the case, let him come over. I happen to be free.”
Ye Shuo’s logic was very simple. Since the eldest prince had something to do, he would definitely come to him on his own initiative. It seemed that he had never thought about whether the eldest prince could go out now that he was missing a leg.
Ye Yan couldn’t help sweating when he heard this: “Uncle Jiu, my father is not very convenient now…”
“What’s the inconvenience? I think you guys are just pampering him too much. It’s just a few steps away, he can’t stay at home all his life, right?” People always try to take the first step, and now is a good opportunity.
Hearing this, Ye Yan could no longer hold back and could not help but remind him: “Uncle Jiu, this is really not a great thing.” Even he himself felt jealous.
But helplessly, Ye Yan also knew his own capabilities. If he could take advantage of the situation, there would be no problem at all. But in this situation, Ye Yan could not see the way forward at all.
Ye Shuo thought about it, but couldn’t find what he was missing, so…
“Either he comes here in person, or you ask clearly before coming.”
Ye Yan: “…”
Ye Yan took a deep breath, turned around and left.
Not to mention him, even the eldest prince was stunned, with an incredible look on his face: “You didn’t tell him, is it a good thing?”
Ye Yan looked aggrieved: “I said it.” But the Ninth Prince refused to come no matter what. What else could he do?
The eldest prince sat there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Since he doesn’t want it, then I’m not willing to give it to him!
The eldest prince was furious, but he changed his mind and thought that if the matter was left at that, Xiaojiu might never know what he had missed, so he had to say it.
After telling him, let him beg me in return…
The eldest prince’s brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and he was not tangled at all. Finally, the eldest prince said, “Go and secretly spread the news and tell him about what happened to your eighth uncle today.”
In this case, anyone with a bit of common sense would know that he wants to delegate power.
Ye Yan was suddenly a little confused. Why make it so complicated? After guessing for so long, he might as well just tell Uncle Jiu.
However, Princess Ding on the side noticed something and realised that her husband was trying to get back at his brother-in-law.
The eldest prince had already thought of several ways to make things difficult for him when the time came, and he suddenly felt relieved.
Seeing his son still standing there like a log, the eldest prince immediately frowned and said, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!”
Ye Yan was startled and moved quickly.
About half an hour later, Ye Yan returned here with a strange expression.
The eldest prince cleared his throat, picked up a new teacup, and asked slowly, “Why, what did your uncle say?”
“Well…”
Ye Yan scratched his head, stuttering and stumbling: “My ninth uncle told you not to be sad. It was indeed Uncle Eighth who was wrong. He said you fought well and he expressed his deep sympathy for you.”
After waiting for a long time without any follow-up, the first prince, who was calm and composed at first, could not help but be dumbfounded: “Just… just this?”
Ye Yan nodded: “Yeah, that’s all.”
Ye Yan didn’t even dare to say that at first Uncle Jiu looked very interested, as if he was listening to a story. Only after he finished listening did he become serious.
The eldest prince’s mouth twitched slightly.
How can there be such a useless person in this world? He can’t even understand the voice-over of others! ?
With the Zhen Mansion, the soldiers in his hands, his father’s favour and his own status, Xiaojiu may not be powerless to fight against Laoliu (little eight). Even if God chases him and feeds him, he can’t get anything in his mouth. How can someone be so useless?
The eldest prince could no longer hold back, so he stood up and said, “I’ll go there myself.”
Under Ye Yan’s dull gaze, the eldest prince walked out of Prince Ding’s Mansion angrily, leaning on a pair of crutches.
After walking out of the gate of Prince Ding’s Mansion and looking at the people coming and going on the street, the eldest prince calmed down almost instantly, and his hands holding the crutches became a little stiff.
But now that he has already come out, he will naturally not retreat.
Along the way, the eldest prince always felt that everyone here was looking at him, laughing at him, pointing at him, and felt in his heart that he was a useless person. Suddenly, the eldest prince felt like he was stripped naked in the street, and his heart was filled with shame.
As luck would have it, the Seventh Prince happened to pass by, noticed the movement not far away, and subconsciously looked over.
When he saw the familiar figure, the Seventh Prince couldn’t help but be stunned, as if he didn’t expect that the Eldest Prince would recover so quickly.
However, the eldest prince misunderstood, thinking that the seventh prince deliberately stopped to laugh at him, and immediately glared back at him fiercely.
It’s all my useless brother’s fault!
Without waiting for the Seventh Prince to react, the First Prince took two quick steps, then turned around and went into the Prince Rui’s Palace next door.
Only after the gate of Prince Rui’s Palace was closed again did the eldest prince breathe a sigh of relief.
Under the guidance of the butler, the eldest prince came to Ye Shuo’s courtyard.
Not long after, after hearing everything and his own plan, the eldest prince was fully convinced that Xiaojiu would finally give in this time. However, what the eldest prince did not expect was that within just a few breaths, deep fear began to overflow from his eyes bit by bit.
Caught off guard, the eldest prince was stunned.
