Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

By the time Emperor Jingwen and the eldest prince reacted, Ye Shuo was only left with one breath.

Seeing their son/brother suddenly half-dead and like a dead dog, Emperor Jingwen and the eldest prince were obviously a little panicked.

Why did he vomit like this out of nowhere?

It took a while for the two to get their questions answered.

“Take me quickly… to take a shower…” Only when you experience it yourself, will you know how strong the smell of blood is, and how it makes people dizzy.

Ye Shuo almost grabbed the eldest prince’s arm and said this.

After realizing what was happening, the eldest prince and Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

“It’s just two lives, is it that serious?” The eldest prince had killed so many people that he couldn’t even count them. He really couldn’t understand Ye Shuo’s feelings.

“You don’t understand…” If Ye Shuo was just a naive child, maybe it would be okay, but the problem is that Ye Shuo is not.

For him, killing someone is something that completely overturns his decades of cognition, and the impact can be imagined.

The eldest prince originally wanted to laugh at him, but when he saw how weak he looked, he felt too embarrassed to laugh at him.

Emperor Jingwen did not take this matter seriously. After Huyan Jue left, he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but look at his eldest son: “Liancheng, why don’t you send Xiaojiu back?”

The eldest prince: “…”

The eldest prince opened his mouth, but finally nodded with great difficulty.

The eldest prince never thought that he would have such a harmonious relationship with his brothers other than his biological brother in his life.

The Duke of Zhen saw that he had nothing to do here and was about to leave, but the next moment, he heard the voice of Emperor Jingwen trying to keep him.

The Duke of Zhen was stunned.

The other side.

Ye Shuo’s eyes were lifeless, and he lay on the eldest prince’s back like a dead dog, his mind full of scenes from the posthouse.

The eldest prince couldn’t help himself and said, “Women are more brave than you.”

The eldest prince’s wife and the two concubines did not react as strongly as he did when they first started killing people.

“You just faced Huyan Jue with such momentum, show it!” The eldest prince’s heroic evaluation of him suddenly fell to the bottom again.

Ye Shuo did not refute, whatever he said was what it was.

The eldest prince felt uncomfortable with his younger brother’s sudden docility.

The palace servants who saw this scene along the way almost popped their eyes out of their heads.

First it was the crown prince, then the emperor, and now he has been carried by the eldest prince. He is probably the only ninth prince in the world who can have this privilege.

I don’t know how the Ninth Prince did it.

It was not until they were almost at Qiuwu Palace that Ye Shuo came to his senses. It was rare for him to get along so harmoniously with his cheap brother. Then, inexplicably, he recalled something.

“By the way, big brother, when you saw me before, you told me to go to the temple to calm my mind. What did you mean?”

It was the time when Ye Shuo had a conflict with the eldest prince. After Ye Shuo went back, he thought about it and couldn’t understand why he suddenly said such a thing.

Ye Shuo has a good memory and wants to figure it out after such a long time.

The eldest prince thought for a long time before he figured out what he was saying.

The two of them had a grudge because of this, but he didn’t even know about it?

“Didn’t you hear what the court said at the time?”

“Ah?” Ye Shuo was also confused: “This…should I know?”

The eldest prince was stunned.

The first reaction of the eldest prince was that he was talking nonsense. As a prince, how could he say that he didn’t care about the affairs of the court? It was simply the biggest joke in the world.

But then the eldest prince felt that there was really no need for Ye Shuo to lie to him.

He even dared to kill the envoy, how could he dare not admit it?

Besides, the fight between the two sides has already ended, and everyone who should be offended has been offended. Even if he wants to find an excuse, it is too late.

Combined with his sons’ observations over the past few days, a thought suddenly flashed through the eldest prince’s mind: Perhaps he really didn’t know that someone in the court was hinting that he was a jinx.

If this is true, then this is too much of a loss! ?

This fight was really unfair.

The eldest prince was silent for a moment, then asked, “Didn’t the crown prince mention this to you?”

“…Why would Third Brother tell me this?” Ye Shuo was even more puzzled: “How old am I?”

Isn’t this something that the prince will only consider after he turns 15 and goes to court? Are these people so anxious?

However, based on the eldest prince’s understanding of the crown prince, if he really wanted to train the ninth prince to be his right-hand man, not to mention that he is only eleven years old, he would have told him everything he should have told him when the two became fellow disciples.

The crown prince never mentioned it, which can only mean one thing, that the prince does not intend to include Xiaojiu, or in other words… the prince has excluded this younger brother from the fight from the beginning.

Indeed, with his personality, he is not really suitable for power struggles.

Since the Crown Prince had this intention, and the First Prince did not want to have any more people competing with him, family affection was already weak in the royal family, so one less rival was a good thing. The First Prince thought for a moment and then crossed out Ye Shuo’s name from the list.

To some extent, this should be the tacit understanding between the two rivals, the eldest prince and the crown prince.

Afterwards, no matter how Ye Shuo asked, the eldest prince refused to continue talking. He was really annoyed by the questions, so he just started to laugh it off.

Even though Ye Shuo had such good patience, he became a little angry when he was halfway through his words.

“If you want to say something, just say it completely. What’s the point of saying only half of it?” Especially for something like this that obviously had a hidden story, Ye Shuo wanted to find out more.

However, the eldest prince refused to say anything.

If the Ninth Prince could always remain like this, it would be a good thing.

“Hey, we’ve arrived at Qiuwu Palace.”

Just as Ye Shuo raised his head, the eldest prince cleared his throat, then picked him up from behind, threw him to the door of Qiuwu Palace and left without looking back.

Ye Shuo was left jumping up and down in the same place. Listening to the shouts coming from behind him, the eldest prince’s mood inexplicably improved a lot.

“…What is this?” Ye Shuo gritted his teeth. He had vomited so hard that he had no strength left. Finally, he had to give up and returned to Qiuwu Palace with the help of Xiao Luzi.

The first thing Ye Shuo did when he returned to his room was to ask for hot water.

He was ready to wash himself thoroughly from inside to outside.

When Ye Shuo tried to take off his clothes, he discovered that, probably because the blood was too thick and had been stuck together for a long time, Ye Shuo’s face was almost as white as paper.

After holding it in for a while, he finally stopped vomiting.

Ye Shuo’s hair was soaked with blood. It took him a long time to wash it clean until the water started to get cold.

Maybe it was because the impact was too great or because he had been soaking in water for too long, but that night, Ye Shuo successfully developed a fever.

Eight or nine years had passed since his last fever. When he touched his burning forehead, even Ye Shuo began to doubt whether he was really that fragile.

This does seem a bit too useless…

But there is no other way. Even if it is embarrassing, you still have to call the imperial physician.

Not long after, Emperor Jingwen and the eldest prince also got the news. For a moment, they both didn’t know whether their son/brother was being cowardly or arrogant.

You can say he was weak, but he killed the two envoys without saying a word. But you can say he was arrogant, because he scared himself after killing them.

People who heard the news were inevitably confused.

The next day, the little princess woke up from her sleep and saw how weak her brother was. Her impression of his “inability” became even deeper.

Jianjian thought that the little rabbits she raised were stronger than the man she called brother.

But it doesn’t matter. She has already started learning martial arts. When she finishes her training, with her help, he won’t be bullied anymore.

Yes, bullying.

Since Jianjian was still young, the imperial concubine did not tell him about Ye Shuo’s murder. She just said that her brother went out to fight with others, so he became like this.

Ye Shuo was so sick, didn’t Jian Jian think he was being bullied?

After feeding her brother water, Jian Jian waved her fists in the yard even harder.

After class in the study, Ye Xun’s first reaction was to visit the Ninth Uncle.

Coincidentally, Ye Yan and the other three thought the same.

And so, although they did not take the same route, the two sides finally met at the gate of Qiuwu Palace.

Ye Yan’s first reaction when he saw Ye Xun was to grin.

But then he thought about how the other party had performed well in the inn, and how he didn’t show any fear or retreat amid the swordplay, and felt that he was still quite courageous. Ye Yan’s impression of him was better than before.

Ye Xun also felt that the four people were courageous.

The four brothers Ye Yan and Ye Xun ignored each other at the door, but after they walked in, they had a tacit understanding with each other, like real cousins.

The other side.

Huyan Jue didn’t dare to stay in Shangjing City for long. He was like a guard guarding the posthouse one moment and who knew if he would be the one to be killed the next.

Huyan Jue fled Shangjing overnight with the remaining two or three men.

As expected, there was an uproar in the court the next day.

Some people were scolding the Ninth Prince for slaughtering the envoys, while others were trying their best to shift the blame for the Ninth Prince onto others.

As long as they refuse to admit it and insist that the two men were not killed by the Ninth Prince but by an unknown person, and then push that unknown person out and hand him over to Beiting to vent their anger, this crisis can be safely overcome.

Emperor Jingwen felt sad when he saw them arguing.

He observed for a long time and found that there were many people who showed weakness, but very few who advocated a tough stance.

Since when did the court only have spineless people?

Or was it because the late emperor and himself were too weak, causing the people below to follow suit and become complete wimps?

Emperor Jingwen suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

When he heard that they were discussing and even planning to hand over the Ninth Prince, Emperor Jingwen could no longer bear it.

“Xiao Jiu has only killed two people. The rest were all ordered by me. According to what you said, I am afraid you want to hand me over as well.”

Emperor Jingwen looked around with a cold gaze.

This is a serious matter.

All the ministers knelt down one after another and said, “Your Majesty, please calm down. We are guilty.”

“You should apologize.” Emperor Jingwen looked at them one by one and said, “If I hear these words again, watch out for your heads!”

When Emperor Jingwen first ascended the throne, he also killed many ministers.

Suddenly recalling the past, everyone shuddered.

The emperor’s tough attitude proves that there is really no room for maneuver in this matter.

A group of ministers have already made preparations for the Beiting army to invade.

Emperor Jingwen thought the same way, so he appointed officials to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, according to their expertise.

In such a special period, the lowest of the eight was a seventh-rank assistant professor at the Imperial College, and the highest was a sixth-rank deputy director of the Secretariat, so their starting point was quite high.

On the other hand, Emperor Jingwen dispatched troops and horses and was on high alert at the border.

Even the eldest prince was ready to go on an expedition here.

However, what Emperor Jingwen and his ministers never expected was that, instead of getting angry, Beiting did not even mention the killing of the two generals’ sons and so many guards. What’s more, Beiting even sent a princess to marry, which was truly the first time in history.

According to the spies, the princess’s team is already on the way.

It was the State of Chen that suffered great misfortune and became the fat meat in the eyes of Beiting.

Anyone showing any sign of cowardice at this time will be chosen and become a target prey.

Such a change made everyone in the court excited.

It turns out that even someone as tough as Beiting has to give in sometimes.

Some ministers suddenly realized that in today’s world, perhaps they needed a crown prince with equally strong skills and attitude as the future emperor, so that Beiting could not be easily bullied.

The strategy of appeasement does not seem to be of much use to this group of barbarians. Their politeness will only be regarded by Beiting as weakness.

The prince watched this scene in the court. After returning to the East Palace, he couldn’t help himself and slowly closed his eyes.

Then, there was news that the Sixth Prince wanted to marry Prime Minister He.

The thing that Ye Shuo was most worried about finally happened.

His brothers were too smart. Once they saw an opportunity, they would not give him time to find a solution to the problem.

Before he could move, they had already moved.
