The Fourth Prince only appears to be non-competitive on the surface, but he is not truly non-competitive.
The virtuous concubine only gave birth to one son, so how could she not have high hopes for him?
It’s just that compared with other princes, Concubine Xian and the Fourth Prince are not as aggressive.
The emperor is in his prime, and the position of the crown prince is shaken. It is still unknown who will take the throne in the future. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. It is better to slow down for the time being, and perhaps you can reap miraculous results.
Being born in a royal family, sometimes, not fighting is fighting.
But no one expected such a mistake to happen along the way.
Whether for his future or for his own face, the Fourth Prince would not allow himself to become a cripple.
Not to mention the civil and military ministers, the Fourth Prince could not accept even the gazes from his brothers.
Even though the Fourth Prince looked harmless on weekdays, he was a member of the Ye family after all, and had the same paranoia as the other members of the Ye family.
Ye Shuo hadn't figured out what to say yet, but when he looked up, he saw the Fourth Prince struggling to get up from the bed, and walking to the door while enduring the severe pain.
"Fourth brother!" Ye Shuo hurried to help him.
However, the Fourth Prince's mind was in a mess, and he was in no mood to pay attention to him. He just stared at Mei Yingzhuo and asked, "Is there any way to cure him?"
He would rather die than be a cripple for the rest of his life.
However, Mei Yingzhuo was too lazy to pay attention to him. After all, it was another young man who was going to marry into their Medicine Valley, not him.
Ye Shuo had no choice but to help him ask again.
If it can be cured, that would be great. After all, too many lice won't itch, and too many debts won't worry you. Now that the wound has been opened, you might as well just eat this bowl of soft rice to the end, instead of being hesitant and ending up losing both sides.
Thinking of this, Ye Shuo couldn't help but look at Mei Yingzhuo.
Mei Yingzhuo: “…”
Not only him, but his whole family. It is rare to be so thick-skinned.
But the problem is that since Mei Yingzhuo has already taken action, if he regrets now, would all his previous efforts be in vain?
With such a huge sacrifice on their side, the Medicine Valley will soon become the Saving People Valley. If this kid dares to treat Zhier badly, Mei Yingzhuo swears to heaven that he will poison his entire family to death!
Taking a deep breath, Mei Yingzhuo's tone was colder than ever before: "It can be saved."
Hearing these two words, the Fourth Prince's eyes suddenly lit up, and infinite hope suddenly surged in his heart.
"But it's very dangerous." The next moment, Mei Yingzhuo shattered his hopes with his own hands.
"It would be better to just amputate the right leg, and save your life."
Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. Unlike ordinary doctors, Mei Yingzhuo is best at using poison to treat poison. Many people have been saved by him, but many have also been killed by his treatments. That's why Mei Yingzhuo is not tolerated by the secular world and has stayed in these deep mountains and forests for so many years.
Normally, when encountering such a difficult patient, Mei Yingzhuo would definitely want to encourage the other party to treat the patient. As for whether the patient was cured or killed, that was the other party's problem, and he didn't care about that.
It was only for the sake of her apprentice's future husband that Mei Yingzhuo wanted to be cautious and save his life, but she didn't expect that the other party would not appreciate it at all.
Almost the moment the words fell, the Fourth Prince made a decision: "I want to save my legs."
"You have no say in this matter." Mei Yingzhuo rejected him mercilessly.
The Fourth Prince had no choice but to look at Ye Shuo beside him, his eyes full of pleading.
This made Ye Shuo suddenly feel troubled. If it were him, he would definitely save his life rather than his leg. Even if he lost his leg, as long as he was still alive, there was still infinite hope. What was the point of saving the leg but losing the body?
But the key is that the Fourth Prince is not him, and the Fourth Prince simply cannot accept his own imperfections.
As a prince, he should be perfect.
Ye Shuo could only advise: "Fourth Brother, since Fourth Master said so, it must be very dangerous. Otherwise... you should think about it again? It's not too late to make a decision after you think it through."
"No need." The fourth prince shook his head: "If I can't save my right leg, then I would rather die."
Now that things have come to this, what else can Ye Shuo say?
The two men stood there in silent confrontation. The Fourth Prince's face turned pale and he was shaky, but he didn't take a single step back. Ye Shuo really had no choice but to look at Mei Yingzhuo beside him.
"Please, Master Fourth, help me and save my fourth brother."
Mei Yingzhuo frowned, obviously he didn't understand why the young man's brother was so stubborn, but since the other party had spoken, he was happy to study his broken leg.
After getting a positive answer, the Fourth Prince felt relieved and fell down all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Ye Shuo was quick-witted and prevented him from falling to the ground. In the end, he carried him to the bed.
The fourth prince was the most seriously injured, so Mei Yingzhuo naturally focused on him.
Since it was an unconventional method, the whole process was naturally extremely painful. However, it was not known whether it was because of the presence of his stepfather or the presence of the Seventh and Eighth Princes, but in any case, the Fourth Prince did not utter a word during the entire process.
The sheets and quilt covers were torn by him, and several towels were bitten to pieces by him, but the Fourth Prince never cried out in pain.
Such performance surprised Mei Yingzhuo.
Ye Shuo really couldn't bear to watch, so he stayed in the medicine room for only two days and never came back again.
Now the favor I owe to that person is getting bigger and bigger.
As he, his adoptive father, the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince were walking on the road, Ye Shuo couldn't help but sigh.
It looks like I have to sell myself to pay off my debts.
"Xiaojiu." When passing by the Seventh Prince's residence, Ye Shuo suddenly heard the other party calling him.
The Seventh Prince did not keep the secret and simply asked, "Fifth Brother... should have been rescued, right?"
Ye Shuo knew about the conflicts between the Seventh Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Concubine Shu, and he also knew that his purpose in asking this question must be not simple.
Ye Shuo opened his mouth, wanting to persuade, but he didn't know how to do it.
The facts were there and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
Ye Shuo could only avoid giving a direct answer: "Master, no trace of Fifth Brother was found."
Even the eagles with such good eyesight didn't notice it, and there wasn't even a corpse. It was almost certain that the fifth brother was lucky.
As to whether it was just luck or someone was helping him, it’s hard to say.
The seventh prince's eyes flickered slightly, and when he raised his head again, he had returned to normal.
"Ninth brother, thank you again this time."
The Seventh Prince meant what he said. If it weren't for him, he would have been washed away by the water long ago. The Seventh Prince didn't think he could have the same luck as the Fifth Prince.
Ye Shuo waved his hands to show that he didn't care.
Except for Ye Shuo who was still able to move freely, everyone else was injured or lying down, and no one could run or jump.
Ye Shuo was really bored being alone, and the Medicine Valley in front of him was too simple. When he was in Liangzhou, Ye Shuo had worked in design and decoration. Due to limited conditions, he couldn't make any big moves, but there was no problem with a small renovation.
It just so happened that although the fifth master was small in stature, he was extremely good at carpentry, the third master had a good aesthetic sense and could draw, and with Ye Shuo as the adviser and the increasing number of servants, it was not difficult to renovate several houses.
The second master just glanced away and found that the third brother, who had originally stood with her, had betrayed her.
The Second Master could not help questioning the other party, and the Third Master finally woke up from his dream and told the truth: "I have been in the valley for so many years, and he is the only one who appreciates me."
The others used to fight and kill, going through wind and rain, and each one was more arrogant than the other, and most of them mocked and ridiculed each other.
They all just said that his paintings were shit, and that even shit was better than this. Only Ye Shuo would praise him and say that his paintings... The Third Master recalled carefully and then remembered that what the other party was talking about seemed to be abstract art.
Although the Third Master did not know what abstract art was, he was sure that this was not a phrase that the young man had made up casually to fool him.
"So I couldn't help myself, just..."
The third master lowered his head slightly in shame.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman became even more wary of Ye Shuo.
The young man can praise such ugly things under the third brother, he is really a tough guy.
In addition to these, Ye Shuo also has the responsibility of cooking every day. There is no other way. The cooking skills of the several masters are really too poor. My cheap father and the others can't get out of bed now. Even if they get out of bed, it will be useless. They can't be relied on.
No matter how you look at it, Ye Shuo is the only one who can take the leading responsibility.
After eating the food he cooked for a few days, even the beautiful woman couldn't help but have a thought in her mind -
It would be nice if my disciple could find such a good match.
It’s just a pity that a man like this is destined to not be able to stay with a woman for his entire life.
The beautiful woman had seen too many people like him. She would devote herself to him when she needed him, and discard him like a piece of trash when she didn't.
Most men in the world are unfaithful, it's just a matter of time.
The beautiful woman soon came to her senses.
In addition to three meals a day, Ye Shuo would go out fishing, picking mushrooms, catching rabbits, etc. in his spare time. He lived a carefree life.
At first Huo Tianyi was worried that he would run away, but later he found out that he would not even go away if he was chased away with a stick, let alone run away.
Huo Tianzhi only knew that there was such a woman in the world, but he didn't know that there was such a man in the world.
Laugh, laugh, sooner or later you will cry!
The beautiful woman standing by couldn't help but sneer upon seeing this.
Fishing, catching rabbits and shrimps, and researching new menus, while Ye Shuo was busy in the valley, he didn't know that a few days ago, a group of people came here dozens of miles away from him, but they didn't stay long and left, so even the eagle didn't notice them.
When the fifth prince woke up, he found himself on a large carved wooden bed. His second brother was sitting beside him. He seemed to be afraid that he would be too hot, so he fanned him intermittently.
Seeing him wake up, the second prince also regained consciousness.
Without caring about so much, the Fifth Prince hurriedly got up and said, "Go and save Father and Xiaojiu and the others!"
The second prince paused while holding the folding fan, and then returned to normal in an instant: "I have already given the order."
After thinking for a while, the second prince added: "That's why I came here this time."
No wonder my second brother, who should have been in Beijing, is here.
The fifth prince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Fifth Prince was injured after all, and after he felt relaxed, he soon fell into a deep sleep again. So the Fifth Prince didn't know about it. Soon someone came in and reported what happened today.
Although the Second Prince looked worried, he said, "Since there is no harvest today, it must be because the people under him did not search carefully enough. Let them search these two places again carefully."
Although these two places are the most likely ones, since we can't find them, we can't keep wandering around here, right?
The visitor seemed to be hesitant to speak. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the look in the eyes of the Second Prince looking back at him, and his objection immediately dissipated.
After this person left, the room soon returned to peace.
In this way, after a few days, fortunately, the eighth prince, who was the least injured, was finally able to get out of bed and walk.
At the same time, a fiery red figure appeared in front of the Medicine Valley.
The fiery red figure was none other than Yao Zhi, who had been traveling outside and had not returned home for a long time.
Yao Zhi didn't really want to go back. As she grew older, every time she came back she would be urged to get married by the master and his people. Yao Zhi was simply fed up with it.
But there was no way. She had been away for nearly half a year. If she didn't come back, the master and the others would definitely be angry.
Also, Yao Zhi missed them too.
No matter how good the outside world is, it is not as good as being in front of the master and his people. Yao Zhi just hopes that the master and his people can nag her less this time, and then she will be thankful.
Thinking of this, the woman raised her foot and walked towards Medicine Valley.
Then, as soon as she stepped into the Medicine Valley, the woman saw the young man with his back to her.
The young man seemed to sense something strange behind him and turned around. Yao Zhi was immediately frightened by his appearance and ignored the young man's current condition.
Her steps suddenly stopped, and then Yao Zhi heard the other party calling out -
"Lord."
The young people's voices are clear and pure, pure and elegant.
The word "lord" can refer to the ruler of a country or the head of a family.
Caught off guard, after realizing what the other party was calling her, Yao Zhi, who was usually cool and knowledgeable outside, blushed immediately.
