Chapter 196 If Fourth Brother hits you, don’t endure it.
Thirteen sighed softly: "Since Fourteen wants to go, then follow him. I don't know if Fourth Brother will send you back after seeing you." If I remember correctly, Fourteen was most afraid of Fourth Brother when he was young.
Fourteenth heard what he said, and his whole face froze. He hesitated several times before saying, "Thirteenth brother, that shouldn't be the case, right?"
Thirteen looked at him with a smile: "What do you think?" It can be said that Fourth Brother has never had a good temper towards Fourteenth Brother.
Fourteen's eyes rolled several times, and suddenly he couldn't sit still anymore.
His fourth brother was such a stubborn person that he wouldn't give in to anything. Fourteen had no doubt that after more than ten days of travel to Jinyang, his fourth brother might not even let him stay overnight and would send someone to bring him back.
Thinking of the time when his fourth brother was away, he felt much more relieved.
Fourteen's eyelids twitched. How desperate was he to go to Jinyang to see Fourth Brother? He had been trained by him all over during that time, and he didn't want to see him!
Although he knew that Ninth Brother had been lying to him about the delicious food, and that he was only going to expose Ninth Brother's lies, it seemed a bit unprofitable to be punished by Fourth Brother for this...
Thirteen noticed Fourteen's hesitation, and his smile softened a bit. He said, "Fourteen, you've been seeing us off for quite a while now. Why don't you just go back? If the Emperor asks about it later, you won't be able to explain it."
Fourteen's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly said, "Thirteenth Brother, Ninth Brother said Fourth Brother has a pancake that, when soaked in water, will turn into a bowl of fragrant noodles. It's a rare delicacy in the world. When you get there, can you ask Ninth Brother to send some back to me?"
Thirteen raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this: "What kind of cake is that?"
Throughout his life, which lasted for decades, he had never heard of such a thing.
Fourteen said, "Brother Thirteen will see it naturally when he goes there!"
Thirteen finally nodded: "In that case, I will definitely tell Brother Nine what Fourteen said."
Fourteen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the carriage, and waved after Thirteen, "Thirteenth brother, take care of yourself. You have such a small body. If Fourth Brother hits you, don't bear it. Scream out! If all else fails, ask Big Brother to save you."
Fourteenth took a look at his thirteenth brother's thin shoulders and couldn't help but click his tongue twice, feeling very worried.
Thirteen: "..." Fourth Brother always dealt with those who irritated him. For example, Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, and Little Fourteen...
As for himself, it just so happened that he was Fourth Brother's best brother. Thirteen had never doubted this.
When the fourth brother first ascended the throne, in order to avoid taboos, the character "Yin" in the names of all the princes was changed to "Yun".
Only he, Yinxiang, is still Yinxiang.
Thirteen thought, he must have had a glorious period in the past, right?
His Prince Xiang's Mansion had once been in decline, but it was once bustling with visitors.
Some people say that Fourth Brother is suspicious by nature, but he has never doubted himself.
"Brother Thirteen, I'm talking to you. Why do you seem so worried lately?" Fourteen didn't get a reply and called him with a frown.
"I understand." Thirteen agreed: "Go back first, it's cold outside."
Fourteen nodded and said, "Brother Thirteen, please don't forget my instructions!"
"I understand."
Fourteen waved to him and turned away.
Behind them, they saw a pair of imperial guards with serious expressions following the young eunuch beside the Fourteenth Master towards this side.
Fourteen walked towards him, with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed.
"Fourteenth Master..." Everyone saluted immediately after they arrived.
Fourteenth glared at his young eunuch fiercely and said sarcastically, "What are you doing? Why can't I even go and see off Big Brother and Thirteenth Brother?"
The guards looked at each other, and finally followed Fourteen back with lowered brows and eyes, far away from the murderous aura they had when they came here.
"Hehe..." Thirteen looked at his brother behind him through the car window and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
It’s really good to be at this age.
The Prince of Zhi, who was in front, was delighted when he saw Fourteen, who had gotten away from such a big trouble, said, "Thirteen, sit tight. Let's hurry up and leave. This way, he won't have to wait and come back again!"
Prince Zhi then jumped onto his horse and said, "Let's go!"
Thirteen glanced at his eldest brother in front of him, then lowered the curtain.
The carriage swayed, just like Thirteen's mood.
The current brotherly friendship left him somewhat bewildered. He had fought for most of his life, once wishing he could grind the other into the dust. But the man before him casually told him to sit tight...
When did these brothers become so unrecognizable?
He still remembered that when they were young, although they had disagreements, they were just minor fights...
It seems that after the incident in Jinyang City...something is different.
Thirteen must follow this time just for Fourth Brother.
Jinyang was in a turbulent time, and the dignified Jinyang prefect was colluding with officials and bandits. Fourth brother didn't know about it at first and was framed by him.
Although the fourth brother recovered the food later, he also lost a lot of it. At the same time, a plague broke out in Jinyang, and the fourth brother had no people to use, and the people were in dire straits.
At this critical moment, the fourth brother was besieged by the rebels again. I don't know where the rebels got the news from, saying that there are many nobles in Jinyang City.
Fourth Brother was caught off guard and was shot in the chest. With no one around him to rely on, he let the rebel escape.
This incident also caused a big disaster.
The plague in Jinyang City had already been brought under control by Fourth Brother. All that was left was for the people in the capital to send a prescription to cure the plague, and the situation would improve.
But these rebels roamed around and caused the plague to spread.
When the eldest brother brought the prescription to Jinyang City, the fourth brother was already sick in bed and weak.
By then, Jinyang City was littered with corpses, and the people were eating their own children. Epidemics began to break out across the country, causing unrest in the government and the country.
The emperor was furious when he heard the news and urgently summoned his fourth brother to return to the capital.
The emperor was so angry that he bled thousands of miles.
Dozens of officials, both high and low, were beheaded in the court.
My fourth brother was also stripped of his title of Beile and was punished to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion at home for three months.
Until, later on, the fourth brother volunteered to lead the troops to hang the rebels. Two months later, he returned with the rebels' heads, and the matter was finally put to rest.
On the other hand, my eldest brother gained fame and fortune with a prescription. Everyone knew that the Prince of Zhi came with the prescription to save their lives.
There are even rumors that if Prince Zhi had come to Jinyang City to provide disaster relief, no trouble would have occurred.
I remember that year, my eldest brother’s reputation was at its peak, and even the crown prince was severely suppressed.
Afterwards, he remembered that his fourth brother had gone to investigate the treason and somehow the investigation led him to his eldest brother.
Since then, they have never been the same brothers again, right?
He still remembered the day when his fourth brother returned. His clothes were tattered, he had not eaten for many days, and he had countless wounds.
Memorials impeaching him came flying in one after another, and even the Empress Dowager De did not say a good word for the fourth brother. Instead, she pointed at his nose and scolded him.
