The Fifth Prince and his wife, who took office in March, were enjoying the flowers together in the garden.
But this "together" is mixed with too much water. Although they are standing together, any discerning person can see that they are not getting along.
The atmosphere between the two was very weird, as if neither of them looked down on the other.
At this time, the third prince and his wife came over.
The Third Prince's wife was five months pregnant, and the Third Prince carefully protected her. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the friendship between them.
In stark contrast to the Fifth Prince and his wife.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law."
The Fifth Prince greeted the Third Prince and his wife, his eyes falling on the Third Prince's wife's belly, "Why did you come out? Is Third Sister-in-law okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother. Your Third Sister-in-law is fine. The Imperial Physician also told her to move around more during her pregnancy."
The Third Prince's face was all smiles. When the Third Prince's wife was mentioned, he lost all his usual reticence and no longer looked like a gloomy mushroom huddled in a corner.
Perhaps the term "gloomy mushroom" is more appropriate to describe the Sixth Prince, who was standing under a tree not far away and watching the two brothers' conversation with a gloomy look on his face.
The Third Prince's wife noticed the unnatural look on the Fifth Prince's wife's face and was about to talk to her to ease her embarrassment of being ignored by the Fifth Prince.
A pale purple figure appeared in the corner of his eye and he turned his head slightly to look over.
"That's... Seventh Brother, right?"
The lavender clothes on the young man further highlight his innate nobility.
With that stunning face with a dull expression, he looked a bit like an immortal descending from the sky.
The Third Prince's wife turned her eyes away from the young man's face and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the fact that your personalities are so different, I would always be confused about the difference between the Seventh and Eighth Brothers."
"Seventh brother."
The third prince greeted the young man who was walking over, but he felt a little strange because he didn't see the other young man who was always inseparable from him.
He looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's my eighth brother?"
The young man stopped and explained, "Eighth brother has gone back to rest. Third brother also knows that Eighth brother is not in good health. This kind of occasion is still too noisy for him."
The Third Prince's wife asked with concern, "Is Eighth Brother okay? Have you called the imperial physician?"
"No need to find a doctor. Eighth brother is just tired. Just go back and have a good rest. I was just about to tell Father about Eighth brother's situation."
"Don't worry, Seventh Brother. Eighth Brother is weak, and Father understands."
The Fifth Prince had just followed the crowd and expressed his concern when a young eunuch, whom he didn't know, ran over and said that the Eighth Prince had a small problem.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, not long after Your Highness left, Your Highness became dizzy and felt dizzy. He did not return to the North Second Station, but rested in the side hall."
The cold-faced young man's expression changed for the first time: "Eighth brother, are you dizzy? Could it be heatstroke? I'll go over and take a look."
Before he left, the Third Prince stepped forward and volunteered, "Eighth Brother is ill, and as his elder brother I should go and see him. Why don't we go together?"
Although the fifth prince didn't want to move, the third prince had already stepped forward, so he had to pretend to do so.
The eunuch's anxious face froze for a few moments, looking very unnatural, but no one paid attention to this minor character of his.
The boy rejected his brothers' kindness, and he had a good reason.
"If my eighth brother and I don't show up for a long time, Father will definitely ask about it. I hope my two brothers can put in a few good words for us then."
The Third Prince would not refuse this small request, and the Fifth Prince had no choice but to follow his brother's footsteps.
The young man said goodbye and, led by the eunuch, walked to a room in the side hall.
Seeing that there was no one guarding the door, the young man asked curiously, "Why aren't the people around Eighth Brother guarding outside?"
The eunuch had a plan in mind. He said, "I don't know either. Maybe he went to see the imperial physician."
The young man wanted to push the door open and go in, but his hand was on the door but he didn't move. The eunuch was anxious and heard the young man's suspicious question.
"Why is there no movement in the room? Is Eighth Brother really in there?"
The eunuch's forehead was covered in sweat. "How dare I deceive His Highness the Seventh Prince? His Highness the Eighth Prince may have fainted."
"What about the palace servants around Eighth Brother? They can't all go and ask for the imperial physician, right?"
"Maybe he has other things to do."
It’s over, it’s over. What did he say? Isn’t it obvious that he is telling the Seventh Prince that there is a problem?
Can he still complete his mission?
The eunuch's clothes on his back were soaked with sweat and he was sweating profusely, but the boy was still talking.
"Why is there so much sweat on your face? Could it be..."
“…”
Now the eunuch sweated even more.
"...Are you too hot?"
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it's too hot for me. I am naturally afraid of heat. This June is really too hot for me."
"Then you better be careful and don't get a heat stroke." The young man pursed his lips and nodded his chin. "Open the door. I'll go in and see my eighth brother."
Phew~
Finally I managed to get away with it.
The eunuch opened the door attentively, but as soon as the young man entered, he turned his face away and slammed the door shut.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his head and ran away in a hurry.
"laugh!"
The young man in the room sneered at the door that was being treated so roughly, "Idiot, do you really think I'm a fool?"
How could he not see such an obvious trick?
The Eighth Prince suffered from heatstroke?
Haha, he knew best where the Eighth Prince was at this moment.
Heatstroke?
Do they think that the Eighth Prince is so weak that he would get heatstroke if he stayed in the sun for half an hour?
His acting skills are really great, he perfectly portrays the image of a frail and sickly man.
He is the new generation's most popular actor, and the Oscars owe him an award.
Yan Cheng thought.
After complaining in his heart, he sniffed the strong and nauseating fragrance in the air, and a murderous look appeared between his brows.
