Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Concubine Rong didn’t know what her son was thinking at the moment. She just thought that Ye Shuo was bored of staying in this palace.

Since it was so painful, why not leave?

Shuo’er was different from me. As a concubine, I could never leave.

He could be free, so why trap him here?

Although the imperial concubine was worried and concerned, she also knew the pain of losing freedom.

Rather than making herself happy, the imperial concubine hopes that her two children will live happily.

If her own happiness is built on the suffering of her children, the imperial concubine really would not bother to do it.

Ye Shuo was startled when he heard this, and spoke subconsciously: “Mom…”

Ye Shuo’s mind was in a mess. He had actually wanted to run away before, and now after these two things happened he wanted to run away even more.

Ye Shuo is not a saint. If things go on like this, he is afraid that he will not be able to remain indifferent.

Sometimes there are things that you know you can’t do, but you still can’t help but want to try.

But sometimes these attempts often result in death.

As the saying goes, those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Even the smartest people will inevitably fall into this vicious circle. After Ye Shuo joined the game, as a person in the game, it was impossible for him to be as rational as he is now.

Failure to maintain absolute rationality is the beginning of downfall.

People who drown are usually people who know how to swim. Ye Shuo couldn’t guarantee that he would be the exception.

Ye Shuo believed that he was no better than his brothers in playing political games. In terms of playing political games, his brothers were naturally gifted.

But in the current situation, Ye Shuo really didn’t dare to leave. After all, his mother and Jian Jian were still in this palace. If they were accidentally injured, it would be too late for him to regret.

However, the imperial concubine could not understand why her son wanted to run away but refused. This was really unlike him.

“Don’t give me excuses like you don’t really want to go out or anything like that. How can I not understand you?”

Ye Shuo was just about to make up an excuse to get away with it, but the imperial concubine didn’t give him a chance and exposed him right away.

The imperial concubine is very slow in some aspects, but terrifyingly sharp in other aspects.

Under the repeated pressure from the imperial concubine, Ye Shuo had no choice but to tell the truth.

“If I leave, what will happen to you and Jianjian?”

“What do you mean? Jianjian and I can’t live without you, right?” I thought it was something else. When the imperial concubine heard this, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him, feeling both angry and amused.

“My father is the Duke of Zhen, and I am the imperial concubine appointed by the emperor himself. Who dares to touch me?”

From beginning to end, Concubine Rong was proud of her family, father and brother.

Concubine Rong knew even more that if anything happened to her, her parents and brothers would definitely not abandon her.

Even after entering the palace for so many years, the imperial concubine has never doubted this.

“To tell you the truth, I personally agreed to your entry into the palace. If I hadn’t agreed, I don’t know what would have happened.”

Then the imperial concubine snorted: “So, take care of yourself first.”

That’s true.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. As long as my grandfather is alive, it is unlikely that anyone will set their sights on his mother. If my grandfather gets angry, most people will not be able to handle it.

His mother is a royal concubine, and now he is even more loved by his stepfather. Although his stepfather can be truly ruthless when he can, when he cares about someone, he can still be considered reliable.

After a long pause, Ye Shuo said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll really leave.”

When the imperial concubine first saw her son’s nagging manner, she felt a little uncomfortable.

“Just go, really.”

The imperial concubine was not a weak person from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.

*

Although Ye Shuo had made up his mind, it was impossible for him to be completely unprepared.

The first person Ye Shuo found was his eldest cousin, who had been wronged, and asked him to take care of his mother and Jian Jian more.

Ye Shuo still has great confidence in his cousin’s abilities.

“Especially the Queen, you must be careful.”

Wei Wen agreed without much hesitation.

The second group of people that Ye Shuo came to visit were his students.

Over the past few years, Ye Shuo has had more and more students in the court. There are no longer just Zou Wu and his friends. There are also some in local areas. Ye Shuo didn’t pay much attention to them before. He basically let them roam free and occasionally gave them some guidance.

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked. This group of people are quite capable.

Putting it all together, even if the teacher was Zeng Mohuai, it would still arouse suspicion. As for why my cheap father didn’t find out, it was because the population at the border was mixed, from all over the country, and as long as they were dispersed and then assigned back to their hometowns, they would not be so conspicuous.

It is normal for a few young talents to emerge in local areas every year.

Since it is so normal, no one would think of conducting such an in-depth investigation, and concealing the truth would be a piece of cake.

After all, who would doubt a person who has risen step by step from the bottom?

Then, Zou Wu and others received orders to protect the imperial concubine and the princess.

Zou Wu and others: “…”

They spent the whole day speculating on the teacher’s purpose. Some of them were even ready to sacrifice their lives for him in their fanatical worship. But… this is it?

Suddenly, they felt that the image of the teacher as the wisest person was not so unattainable.

Still feeling unsafe, Ye Shuo called Xing Yucheng into the palace again.

“Of all the people I know, you are the most capable and the smartest, so I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Xing Yucheng had become numb to it. Ever since he met the Ninth Prince, he had to help him deal with all those little troubles every day.

I used to help him with his homework, and now I help him take care of his mother and sister. I have never done any serious work.

But Xing Yucheng really couldn’t refuse, after all, there was no one else around him except himself!

Xing Yucheng had no choice but to agree.

This is what happened openly. As for the harem, Ye Shuo then found Zhao Chongrong and the others.

Although Zhao Chongrong and the others are not as high-ranking as his mother, they are old ladies after all. They have been in the palace for so long, so no matter who they are, they must be capable.

“Madam Zhao, Madam Xu, Madam Li, I am really worried about my mother, so could you please take care of my mother and Jianjian after I leave?”

Ye Shuo didn’t force anyone, as long as someone could give him a reminder at the critical moment.

Zhao Chongrong and the other two loved the brother and sister the most, and naturally responded to all their requests.

I can’t guarantee anything else, but if you pay a little attention to the movements of each palace, there will be no problem.

Concubines of high status have their own way of living.

After settling his mother and Jian Jian, Ye Shuo started to think about the little white tiger and the six small dogs.

A little white tiger is fine, but a tiger that is a few months old is no longer something that ordinary people can deal with.

Although six Chinese greyhounds together are ferocious enough, the worst thing to be afraid of is when they are separated.

Ye Shuo still remembers Xu Chongyi’s Persian cat.

So many years have passed, and I don’t know what happened to the person who did such a thing.

For fear of hurting his mother and Jianjian, Ye Shuo planned to take the little tiger away and leave the six small dogs behind. Therefore, Ye Shuo specifically instructed Su Yue to pay more attention to the six dogs.

After hearing what happened with Xu Chongy, Su Yue couldn’t help but shudder: “This method is really cruel…”

Since this was mentioned, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but ask a few more questions: “Has anything similar happened in the palace in recent years?”

Although Ye Shuo had asked around, he didn’t find anything. It’s possible that Su Yue knew more.

Then Su Yue shook her head: “It seems… not.”

Let him think about it. Over the years, except for the Queen Mother, no one else in the palace seemed to have any obvious hostility towards his mother, so the harem was relatively peaceful.

Apart from the rivalry in the harem, not counting his mother, there was one person who had a grudge against Ye Shuo——

The Princess Beiting who came to the Great Zhou to marry.

Unfortunately, after becoming a concubine, the other party still seemed to be restless. She ran to the Queen’s palace every few days. Not long after, just one or two months, the princess became more and more excessive. Finally, her stepfather couldn’t stand it anymore, so he found a random reason to imprison her, and she has not been released yet.

Because of this incident, the Queen Mother was severely reprimanded. Logically speaking, she should not be able to cause any trouble.

Even if she had some ability, with the people in her cousin’s hands, as well as Empress Zhao and the increasingly clever girl Su Yue, they could not reach into the Qiuwu Palace.

It felt like it was about right, but to be on the safe side, Ye Shuo personally took a brush and wrote a few letters before leaving, and asked someone to send them out.

Everything is ready, except running away.

Ye Shuo would definitely not be able to escape by himself. He would be stopped before he even reached the palace gate.

After many years, Ye Shuo got into the Taifu’s carriage again.

The Grand Tutor was now exhausted both physically and mentally, and was just feeling worried when he heard a slight sound coming from under his butt.

This movement seems familiar…

The Master suddenly dreamt of ten years ago.

Then, as expected, Ye Shuo once again climbed out of the box in the Taifu’s carriage.

“Teacher, I didn’t expect that after so many years, you still haven’t changed your old habits.”

As if he didn’t notice the crack in Taifu’s expression, Ye Shuo planned to run away without thinking, but then he thought of something and turned back.

The Taifu subconsciously thought that he was going to ask him about the quarrel between him and the Crown Prince. Over the past few days, many people had asked him about it openly or secretly, and the Taifu was tired of making up excuses.

Just as the Grand Tutor subconsciously put his full attention, the next moment, he heard him ask, “Teacher, I remember you once said that you have many students, all over the Great Zhou?”

The Master was stunned, not knowing what he meant.

“In that case, does our sect have any tokens or something? Give me one.”

Grand Master: “…”

Wait, Ye Shuo suddenly remembered that the tutor seemed to have a ruler that he had used for many years to punish students.

Ye Shuo had noticed when he was beaten before that the ruler was worn out and had a patina on it, so it looked like it was quite old.

Ye Shuo was beaten almost every day before, so the tutor gradually developed the habit of carrying it with him.

“Let me think, it seems to be here…”

When Ye Shuo opened the third drawer, he saw what he was looking for at a glance.

“That’s it.”

Before the tutor could figure out what he wanted this thing for, the next moment, Ye Shuo gave him a big bear hug.

“Teacher, take care!”

With the character of the Grand Tutor, how could he be so close to others in his life?

The old man was embraced and a little embarrassed. He was about to scold him for being a bookworm in a rage, but then he heard this sentence.

Then, the Taifu watched Ye Shuo put the ruler into his arms, jumped off the carriage, and ran away like a dog.

By the time the Grand Tutor reacted, Ye Shuo had already rushed into the Prince’s Mansion.

Maybe Ye Shuo was unlucky, because when he came out he happened to run into the eldest prince who finally had half a day off.

“Hey, brother, you’re back so early today?”

The eldest prince couldn’t help but frown when he saw this: “What are you doing?”

Ye Shuo shrugged casually: “I have nothing to do, so I plan to go out for a walk.”

The eldest prince looked suspicious.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.

After a while, the eldest prince finally reacted.

Wait, didn’t the emperor forbid him to leave the palace? How could he get out?

It happened that the eldest prince had just come out of the military camp, also riding a horse. After noticing that Ye Shuo was heading in the wrong direction, he immediately chased after him.

The two men were running one after the other at lightning speed. The wind around them was like a knife cutting on Ye Shuo’s face, and in a short while his hair was messed up.

Seeing him getting closer and closer to the city gate, the eldest prince couldn’t help but yell, “Stop him!”

Ye Shuo’s heart tightened and he immediately sped up.

Almost at the last moment before the city gate closed, Ye Shuo successfully “squeezed” out through the gap in the door.

“Thank you for the Qingfeng, big brother. I don’t need words to express my gratitude for your kindness. I will go ahead!”

The eldest prince: “…”

Hearing Ye Shuo’s voice from afar, the eldest prince’s teeth were about to break.

He never thought that his brother would run away so blatantly! He even rode the horse he had given him!

Not long after that, the eldest prince received a letter.

It said that during the time he was away from home, he was asked to help take care of the imperial concubine and the princess.

You don’t have to think about who it is.

Along with the eldest prince, the second prince, the crown prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince and the eighth prince all received the same content.

Since he was so sensible, these people wouldn’t be so shameless, right?

“This Xiaojiu…” The second prince saw it but didn’t say anything.

The other side.

Since Ye Shuo has been too mysterious in recent days, Emperor Jingwen wants to see what he plans to do.

As a result… the man just rode away on horseback.

Judging from the situation, he is planning to run far away this time and won’t be able to come back in a short time.

Emperor Jingwen was so angry that he almost died, but what made him even angrier was that the imperial concubine and the others knew about it in advance but did not try to stop it.

Just as Emperor Jingwen was about to open his mouth to curse, he heard the imperial concubine and Zhao Chongrong kneel down in unison and say in unison, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

Emperor Jingwen looked at the imperial concubine. He was reluctant to give up something he loved so much.

Then he looked at Zhao Chongrong and the others. They were all elderly people living in the palace and had no children. Besides, they were always low-key and tactful, so they had to be given some respect.

In the end, Emperor Jingwen turned away and left.

“A loving mother often spoils her son. Just spoil him!”

“When he gets into big trouble, you will regret it sooner or later.”
