Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 70: Reading



Whether Cao Rui intended to murder the prince or committed adultery with a married woman in broad daylight, he deserved punishment.

As for Cao Rui not knowing that Ye Shuo was a prince, what was the use of that? When it came to the prince’s life, there was no such thing as ignorance without guilt in the royal family.

Following the crown prince’s order, Cao Rui was immediately taken away by the guards. It was estimated that the guards went straight to the Dali Temple. The crown prince saw the incident with his own eyes and did not even give Cao Rui a chance to refute.

After Cao Hu finally broke free, he and the other two servants initially chased after Xiao Luzi. After Xiao Luzi disappeared, they saw their young master heading towards the residential area, and they knew that their young master would not be able to finish the task in a short time, so they took this opportunity to slack off.

Everyone, including Cao Rui, felt that their arrangements were flawless. How could the two servants have expected that something unexpected would happen today?

Even if there were three more people keeping watch beside Cao Rui, it would be useless as there were several guards around.

Since Ye Shuo was here, he had no intention of returning empty-handed.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Hu and his men returned, they also faced the situation of being arrested and imprisoned.

Cao Rui finally felt scared at this time. He was frightened by Ye Shuo’s last two sentences. Obviously, he also understood that if it was just an affair and murder of the prince, he might have room for maneuver due to the family relationship. After all, the prince in front of him was fine, and he didn’t know he was a prince at that time.

However, once the affairs of the women in the family were exposed, the entire Cao family would not only face a devastating disaster, but would also be ruined.

All the previous business operations of the Cao family would be destroyed.

Cao Rui had kept this secret since he was a child. Over the years, he had regarded it as something that must not be discovered, even worse than murdering the prince.

Now that he was suddenly exposed, Cao Rui was in a panic.

In a panic, Cao Rui couldn’t even figure out how everything happened and why he was targeted.

If he knew that it was just because of the words of his fiancée and Mrs. Zhen that Ye Shuo became suspicious and wanted to verify the truth, I wonder if he would vomit blood.

After all, who would be interested in such things?

In the end, he did it himself and dug so deep in one go.

When the guards dragged Cao Rui away without saying a word, Cao Rui accidentally saw the little prince making faces at him. The look was as weird and terrifying as it could be.

Cao Rui even felt that the person living in the little prince’s body was not a human, but a demon.

But looking at the crown prince on the side, it seemed as if he didn’t notice anything at all, and he even patted the prince’s head with a helpless look, telling him to stop being naughty.

Naughty?

The prince called this naughty???

Cao Rui couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Cao Rui could not curse or speak, for fear of adding to his crime, and in the end he could only wail aloud to vent his resentment.

Even the crown prince was frightened by the other party’s shrill cry, and Ye Shuo beside him couldn’t help but shiver his arms.

I didn’t realize that the young master of the Cao family has this skill?

“Oh, that’s terrible.”

He knew it was scary, but he didn’t know who had done it.

The corner of Prince Jin’s mouth twitched slightly.

Since Cao Rui and his right-hand men have been arrested, it is estimated that the Cao family is not far away. As for Cao Rui’s cousin, whether to divorce or send her to the government will be handled by her husband’s family.

Only after this farce was completely over did Ye Shuo and his group leave.

On the way, Ye Shuo ignored the defeated look on the face of the tutor and felt that he had saved one or more girls. He was in a good mood and was almost about to sing a song.

As for whether anyone in the Cao family would die because of him, he can only say that if they were truly bad guys, it wouldn’t be a pity no matter how many of them died.

Being kind to criminals is being cruel to victims.

The King of Jin couldn’t hold it in any longer, so he approached his nephew and asked, “How do you know I’m your uncle? I remember we haven’t met before?”

Even though there was so much chaos just now, Prince Jin did not ignore Ye Shuo’s words “This man is the emperor’s younger brother”.

Could it be that my nephew had seen his own portrait? But that portrait didn’t look like him.

King Jin was really curious.

Being in high spirits, Ye Shuo answered casually, “I guessed.”

Ye Shuo pointed to the widow’s peak on his forehead, then to the crown prince’s and the prince of Jin’s.

“Look, they’re all the same.”

Widow’s peak is a dominant trait, my cheap dad also has it, but the probability of inheritance is not high, so it is not easy to bump into someone with the same one.

In addition, he was more casual than the ministers when facing his stepfather, and he looked younger than his stepfather, so Ye Shuo guessed that he might be his stepfather’s younger brother and his uncle.

This is not a big deal, it doesn’t matter even if I guessed wrong, Ye Shuo said so.

Prince Jin was stunned for a moment, then touched his forehead belatedly.

After coming to his senses, he couldn’t help but sigh, what a smart child!

But that’s not right. Such a smart child, and the son of the imperial concubine, there is no reason for the crown prince and the emperor brother to be so kind and attentive to him. Shouldn’t they be on guard against him?

The title of Duke of Zhen is a historical legacy. The current situation was caused by the absurdity of the previous emperor. Even though my brother is a man of great talent and strategy, it will take time to resolve it.

King Jin felt that it was incredible that this child could reach this point.

Not only was he born safely, but he also won the favor of his elder brother in such an environment. The prince also seemed to be not on guard against him. This was completely beyond Prince Jin’s imagination.

He was able to revive a dead end and still thrive. Doesn’t my brother suspect that this kid is pretending?

Then King Jin thought of Ye Shuo’s actions and fell silent.

Yes, if it was really a disguise, no one would dare to make such a joke no matter what. They could even say such nonsense as a golden dragon falling to the ground, and they were deceiving the emperor. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!

This is why the Prince of Jin was deceived. He never thought that there would be someone in the world who would dare to lie to the emperor.

Prince Jin also felt that this child was a little, no, very stupid.

He is stupid, bold and lawless.

Prince Jin couldn’t help but be curious: “You lied to your father so much, aren’t you afraid that he will punish you?”

“Then what’s there to be afraid of?” Ye Shuo said confidently: “Didn’t the emperor not get fooled?”

If you are not deceived, it is not called deceiving the emperor.

After King Jin sorted out this logic, he was immediately shocked.

Is there such a saying? ?

The King of Jin felt that he had learned something, but if he was asked to put it into practice… The King of Jin thought about it and gave up the idea. He still wanted to live a few more years.

So the King of Jin looked at his nephew with eyes full of admiration.

The King of Jin thought he was ridiculous, but he realized today that he was nothing compared to his ninth nephew.

At least he certainly wouldn’t dare to lie to the late emperor like this.

Both of them were players who were not doing their jobs properly, and they could talk to each other very well. Seeing the two of them getting together in a short time, the prince felt his temples throbbing.

“My dear nephew, if you have time in the future, please come to king uncle’s house often to play.” Prince Jin had never thought that his nephew had so many tricks at such a young age. It was as if the door to a new world had been opened. After listening to him, he felt that he was still not satisfied.

Ye Shuo was not polite: “Okay, okay.”

The child’s casual and non-pedantic appearance immediately suited King Jin’s taste even more.

When the two of them were talking happily and getting along better and better, they completely ignored the changes in their surroundings and did not even notice when they arrived at the Taifu’s house.

“You two, why don’t you come here right now!” When Emperor Jingwen saw the two of them like this, his forehead jumped.

Ye Shuo and Prince Jin fell silent and walked up to Emperor Jingwen with a smile.

“father.”

“Royal brother.”

In the past, seeing just one of them was enough to give Emperor Jingwen a headache, but now that both of them were present, Emperor Jingwen almost couldn’t breathe.

Impatiently pushing his brother aside, Emperor Jingwen looked at his son and said, “Tell me, what happened?”

Ye Shuo blinked and said without any guilt: “Dad, I took my brother the crown prince and my uncle to do good deeds!”

Emperor Jingwen had a blank expression on his face and sneered.

When Ye Shuo was hesitating about what to say in order to satisfy his stepfather, the prince at the side reported the whole story directly.

Even though he was prepared, after hearing this, Emperor Jingwen’s blood instantly flowed back to his head.

“Catching an adulterer?! You actually took your third brother, your uncle, and the Grand Tutor to catch an adulterer???”

Emperor Jingwen stood up from his chair suddenly.

More importantly, he tried to trick himself into going.

Emperor Jingwen could not imagine himself, an emperor, appearing in such an occasion.

The most important thing is that the prince said that when he and his men arrived, the battle there was fierce…

He even dared to say that he was a good person and did good things. Emperor Jingwen became furious.

“How can it not be a good person and a good deed?” Seeing that the fruits of his labor were about to be buried, Ye Shuo could not help but retort: ​​”It is such a great achievement to be able to save the happiness of several girls for a lifetime!”

This little bastard really only has girls, girls, girls in his mind. He is like this at such a young age. Won’t he become a troublemaker when he grows up?

“Do you care about the reputation of me and your third brother?” Emperor Jingwen couldn’t breathe just thinking about that scene.

After the words fell, King Jin was stunned.

Wait, why am I not included?

Doesn’t his face count as face?

Emperor Jingwen was so furious when he saw this little bastard that he couldn’t control himself and rolled up his sleeves to beat him.

“I told you not to lie to me, I told you not to lie to me that you went out of the palace to study!” Emperor Jingwen never imagined that it was not the Taifu who taught him well, but that he successfully led the Taifu astray.

When he was so angry, Emperor Jingwen even forgot about cleanliness and just picked up a handy object to beat his son.

As the saying goes, “If you are beaten lightly, you will take it; if you are beaten hard, you will run away.” Ye Shuo is not a dead man. He has two legs, and they are meant to run.

When Emperor Jingwen saw that he dared to hide, he became even angrier.

“What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and hold him down!”

The guards took action without hesitation.

Seeing that his cheap father was serious this time, Ye Shuo screamed immediately.

“Dad! Dad! Show some mercy, Dad!”

Emperor Jingwen was unmoved and directly ordered the guards to bring him back to the palace. Emperor Jingwen really didn’t want to see him embarrass himself in public anymore.

Ye Shuo, who was pretending, was suddenly dumbfounded.

“Wait a minute, Dad, I’ve only been out for one night!”

“Such a big thing happened in just one night. If you stay for a few more days, you will turn the whole capital city upside down!” If the evidence is conclusive, the Cao family will definitely be sent to prison. Thinking of the Cao family’s daughters-in-law, Emperor Jingwen is almost certain that when he goes to court tomorrow, it will be very lively.

I guess Lord Cao alone is not enough for his relatives to participate.

If there were no other charges, the Cao family would surely be ruined. If something else was found out… then it would be even harder to say.

My son has just come out and there is no third-rank official in the court. If I ask him to stay for a few more days…

Emperor Jingwen made a prompt decision: “You go back to the palace and stay there obediently!”

Ye Shuo was horrified.

His schedule for leaving the palace this time was extremely tight. He hadn’t done many things yet and hadn’t met his grandfather yet. How could he leave so easily?

“No! I won’t go! I won’t go ahhhhhh!”

Under the joint siege of several guards, no matter how much Ye Shuo resisted, it was useless.

Emperor Jingwen hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him. He had no choice. If he didn’t keep an eye on him, he was afraid that the little bastard would run away again.

I heard that when he left the palace with the Grand Tutor, didn’t he want to run away?

Seeing that there was nothing for the King of Jin to do here and that he was very satisfied with the show, he put his hands behind his back and walked away leisurely.

After Liang Wenyin came back, she was celebrating with Madam Zhen.

The crown prince originally wanted to leave, but the Grand Tutor, who had finally recovered from the incident, asked him to stay.

The crown prince looked at his teacher and seemed to have something to say to him. He was puzzled, but he did not refuse.

The two of them quickly came to the corridor. Seeing that there was no one around, the crown prince was about to speak, but the tutor beside him finally couldn’t hold it back and bowed deeply to the prince: “Your Highness, I’m sorry!”

The Grand Tutor felt that if the Ninth Prince continued like this and was not properly disciplined, his own family would be gone.

Although the Ninth Prince has messed it up now…

The Grand Tutor was filled with grief and indignation, and was extremely ashamed: “Your Highness, please forgive me for breaking the promise I made to you.”

Read!

The Ninth Prince must study!

We can’t let him idle around like this any longer!

The crown prince was stunned for a while. After realizing what his teacher meant, he felt a little amused.
