Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 237: Fever Subsides



Perhaps the royal family lacks true love, so people like him are even more precious. His father’s love for him was not in vain.

Looking into his eyes, the deep resentment hidden in the Sixth Prince’s heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

To be honest, if the Sixth Prince were allowed to choose, he would definitely not be able to do it.

Now that the most critical moment has come, the Sixth Prince did not attack his father, not because he had deep feelings for Emperor Jingwen. There was affection, but it was just a child’s natural admiration for his father. Compared with the position so close, it was really not worth mentioning.

The reason why the Sixth Prince did not take any action was that he was worried that his father would have a backup plan and that people would say that he did not come to the throne legitimately.

The Sixth Prince not only wants that position, he also wants to be legitimate and popular.

The emperor’s health has not been good to begin with, and it will only last for one or two years at most. The Sixth Prince has waited for so many years, so a little more time will not be a problem. As long as he lives a peaceful and honest life, the throne will almost certainly fall on his head. There is really no need for him to do anything unnecessary and cause trouble.

The Sixth Prince is much more patient than the Crown Prince at the time. He has been taking every step carefully for more than 20 years without making any mistakes. His endurance is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even Ye Shuo cannot compare to him.

Now that Xiaojiu had spoken like this, the Sixth Prince thought about it and decided not to play dumb anymore.

“If there is something wrong, I will do my best to plead with you and the Imperial Concubine. As for the rest, please don’t say anything nonsense.”

Especially whether to punish or not, what kind of status can punish a prince? My father is still alive.

Ye Shuo didn’t care about the loopholes in the words at all. It was just a mere topic of conversation. If Xiao Ming liked him, he wouldn’t care at all. If Xiao Ming didn’t like him, then no matter how careful he was, it would be useless.

Although the Sixth Prince is not a gentleman who keeps his word, his words are basically trustworthy.

After receiving a positive answer, Ye Shuo turned around and handed the prescription to the imperial physician beside him.

“Since what the princess said is true, then you should prescribe the medicine as directed. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility.”

This, this is absolutely not allowed!

When the imperial physician heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn’t dare to agree. The imperial physicians hurriedly looked at the other princes.

The Fifth Prince was the first one to stand up. To be honest, the Fifth Prince still believed in his younger brother. The one he did not trust was the Sixth Prince.

The two of them were whispering to each other just now and no one knew what they were talking about. It would be bad if the younger brother was deceived by the Sixth Prince who was sinister by nature.

Now if something happens to my father, with the Sixth Prince’s current momentum, the throne will have to fall on his head. It’s too risky, it’s safer to listen to the imperial physician.

So the Fifth Prince said, “No, I don’t agree!”

Although the Seventh Prince did not speak, he rarely went against the Fifth Prince, which made his attitude clear.

The Eighth Prince followed closely behind: “Xiaojiu, you can’t take responsibility for your father’s life. You don’t have the final say on such matters.”

Or maybe, this will be an opportunity.

The Sixth Prince’s rise after the Crown Prince is unstoppable. If they continue like this, they will never be able to turn things around. Now, perhaps they can make a fuss about their father’s affairs and maybe bring him down. If they can shift the blame onto the Sixth Prince, they might still have a chance to turn the tables.

As for how to proceed, I have to think about it carefully…

Almost in an instant, this thought came into the mind of the Eighth Prince.

However, Ye Shuo didn’t care what they were thinking or planning at this moment. Ye Shuo only knew that time waits for no one. How could he have the time to talk nonsense with them?

“If you want to stay, then shut up. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.” Since they were unwilling to make a choice and unwilling to bear the blame, Ye Shuo respected their opinions, but at the same time, they had no reason to get in the way here anymore.

Ye Shuo even used force to deter others.

The eyes of the Fifth Prince and the others widened almost instantly. They never expected that their younger brother would say such words.

The fifth prince looked incredulous: “You are a prince, and we are also princes. We are of the same rank, and we are the elders. Why do you want to kick us out?”

The Eighth Prince followed closely behind: “Don’t forget, your good Sixth Brother is not the Crown Prince yet!”

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince’s face tensed up, and he vaguely knew what they were planning.

Yao Zhi on the side thought about it and stood up without much hesitation. After all, she was a gangster and had no family background. She could run away at any time with her master, so she didn’t care so much.

It didn’t take Ye Shuo and Yao Zhi long at all to throw the Fifth Prince and his men out.

The most important thing was that Yao Zhi was the one who took action, especially the one who wanted to harm Ye Shuo, she was the most ruthless.

How could the Fifth Prince and his men be a match for Yao Zhi? They were almost beaten to a pulp.

The door was closed with a “bang”, and it was finally quiet. Ye Shuo then looked at the group of imperial doctors standing beside him with a glare as sharp as a knife.

“Now I have taken all the blame for you. You must do your best and don’t hide anything. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Wherever Ye Shuo’s eyes went, the imperial doctors’ backs could not help but sweat. Under the intimidation of Ye Shuo, the imperial doctors finally took action.

This was the first time Jianjian saw her brother look so serious. He seemed quite imposing…  

Jianjian was a little stunned.

Although Ye Shuo could still live well without the skin of a prince, no one wanted to give away something they had already obtained for no reason. Therefore, when Ye Shuo sat next to his adoptive father again, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

“Dad, you must show some courage this time, otherwise your son will really have to run away this time.”

Not long after, the imperial physician brought over a bowl of medicine. Seeing this, Ye Shuo quickly made way.

Because everyone’s attention was on Emperor Jingwen’s face at this moment, no one noticed that his fingers under the quilt moved violently a few times, as if he was struggling to wake up, but unfortunately, his body could not continue at this moment. After a while, Emperor Jingwen was forced to calm down.

After drinking several bowls of medicine, Ye Shuo felt it was too bitter.

Since it concerned the safety of her husband’s father and himself, Yao Zhi naturally tried her best, almost using up all her medical skills. She did everything she should do, especially when Yao Zhi was giving acupuncture. The hearts of the imperial doctors beside her almost broke several times.

Princess Rui and Prince Rui are truly a couple; each one is bolder than the other and they dare to challenge His Majesty no matter what.

By the second half of the night, Yao Zhi had done almost everything she could, and she was so tense that even she couldn’t help feeling sleepy.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at Wang Ziquan standing beside him.

Wang Ziquan understood and said hurriedly, “Thank you for your hard work, Princess. Please go to the side hall with me to rest.”

Logically speaking, the emperor was seriously ill, and Yao Zhi should have stayed here all night, but she had already done so much, and it was enough.

Anyway, he had already done enough wrong things tonight, so one or two more wouldn’t make a difference. Ye Shuo ignored everyone’s gazes and let Yao Zhi go to rest.

Yao Zhi was unwilling at first, but in the end she was unable to persuade Ye Shuo.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the Fifth Prince and others who had been waiting outside looked over almost instantly. However, Yao Zhi’s expression remained unchanged, and she walked out almost under their gaze.

I really can’t take care of her now. The most important thing is how my father is doing.

Now that the medicine has been used and the acupuncture has been performed, the rest depends on my cheap dad himself. If he can successfully reduce the fever before dawn, there is still hope. If not, I’m afraid all hope is over.

“Sixth Brother and I will be the ones to guard here. You and Jianjian should go and have a rest first, so as not to tire yourself out.”

Not only Yao Zhi, Ye Shuo also drove his mother and Jian Jian to the side hall to rest. As soon as the Imperial Concubine and Jian Jian walked out of the room, the Fifth Prince and his men swarmed in.

But it was too late for them to come in now. Looking at the empty medicine bowls and his brother lying on the table, ready to take a nap, how could they not know what had happened?

The fifth prince gritted his teeth and said, “Xiaojiu, you are so brave!”

“Yes, yes, you are all right.” Anyway, the medicine has been fed to the emperor, and they can’t just pull the medicine out of their cheap father’s throat.

Ye Shuo was so tired that he really didn’t have the energy to argue with them.

After saying this perfunctorily, Ye Shuo closed his eyes decisively. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to fight or not fight the Fifth Prince.

The Eighth Prince also spoke up: “If I find out what you did in there, you two just wait and see!”

If there was really something wrong, the cheap master hiding in the dark would have come out long ago. But now the cheap master hasn’t moved at all, which is enough to explain the problem.

The secret guards didn’t make any move, so what they said naturally didn’t count.

In just half a cup of tea, Ye Shuo fell into a deep sleep.

When the Fifth Prince saw this, he was so angry that he almost died.

The Sixth Prince was also very sleepy, but he couldn’t do whatever he wanted like his younger brother, so he just found a chair to sit down and rest for a while.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Let’s just wait for the results.

The Fifth Prince and the others took a deep breath, and soon found their seats.

However, as the saying goes, “Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.” As if it weren’t for the rain, the next morning, before Emperor Jingwen had made any move, an urgent message came from the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, saying that the situation on the battlefield had undergone new changes.

There is no way. Emperor Jingwen is definitely unable to take charge now, so the Sixth Prince can only help deal with it.

The Sixth Prince had just closed his eyes, and before he even had time to greet others, he was forced to rush to discuss with He Xiang and the others. The noise was so loud that even Ye Shuo was woken up.

Just at this moment, Wang Ziquan, who had been guarding beside Emperor Jingwen without resting for even a moment, seemed to have discovered something and suddenly shouted loudly –

“The fever has subsided, Your Majesty, the fever has subsided!”

I actually made the right bet…

This time, almost everyone was alarmed.
