The first reaction of Prince Ding when he heard this was -
He is lying again!
After all, when he was fighting in the battlefield before, he didn't show any mercy. He killed when he said he would kill, and buried when he said he would bury. Now that everything is over, why should he be afraid?
Prince Ding felt that his brother was too dishonest to even hide the truth from him, and he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.
However, after waiting for a while, he saw that he was still lying there sick. Prince Ding hesitated for a while, then sat down and reached out to touch his forehead.
Hey, you know what, it’s really hotter than ordinary people’s.
Prince Ding couldn't help but widen his eyes: "It's really burning!"
Ye Shuo watched his actions with his own eyes, and after hearing these words, he could not help but said faintly, "What else? Big Brother."
Prince Ding finally realized what was happening: "I will go find a doctor for you right away!"
However, before he arrived, Ye Shuo had already sent people to look for him, and while the two were talking, the doctor had also arrived.
The doctor was woken up from his sleep. He was a local celebrity, famous for his superb medical skills. Many local dignitaries would invite him to their homes to treat their illnesses.
He was busy preparing medicinal materials today and was busy until late at night. As soon as he lay down, he heard a knock on the door.
The doctor originally planned to send his students, but who would have thought that when he opened the door, he would see a group of people in armor. The doctor had seen some of the world, so he naturally knew that with such a big scene, the sick person must be rich or noble. However, the doctor never thought that the handsome young man in front of him, who was curled up in the quilt and almost buried by the soft bed, would be so rich.
When he inadvertently saw the golden dragon pattern embroidered on the handkerchief used for cleaning next to him, his heart was filled with shock.
Looking at the middle-aged man pacing nearby, there was also a ferocious giant python embroidered on his clothes. The middle-aged man seemed to notice his gaze and looked over immediately.
"How is it? Is there anything serious?"
Prince Ding had just come down from the battlefield, and his fierce aura was still there. The man in front of him looked like a murderer, and the doctor could not control himself and became nervous.
"Reply, reply to this lord, this nobleman is frightened and shocked. I will prescribe some prescriptions to calm his nerves and perhaps he will feel better..."
It turned out to be a problem caused by being scared!
Prince Ding was stunned.
However, the doctor misunderstood the way Prince Ding's eyes widened. Seeing that the old man in front of him was getting more and more nervous, Ye Shuo had to remind him: "Brother, you scared this old man."
Since the young man in front of him calls the middle-aged man "big brother", he must be the famous Prince Ding of our dynasty.
As for the young man… is there any need to guess? In the entire Great Zhou, apart from that person, who else could use, who else dared to use this golden dragon as a pattern?
The doctor felt that his ancestors' graves might be smoking. He never thought in his lifetime that he would see the day when he would treat the emperor.
Although the doctor was far away at the border, he knew that several emperors had been replaced in the past few years. He also heard that the one who ascended the throne recently had a bad reputation. When he met him today, he realized that the rumors did not seem to be true.
His Majesty obviously has a good temper!
Besides, Langzhong was relatively close to the border, and it only took a day to go back and forth, so Langzhong knew the news of the Beiting army's approaching border early on. He thought that there would be another fight this time, and basically all the dignitaries in the city who had some ability ran away. Even those who could not escape found ways to send their relatives to places closer to the center.
The doctor was originally hesitating whether to go out and seek refuge. After all, once the Beiting people invaded, local people like him would have no way out.
The result was unexpected. The fight did take place, but Beiting failed to attack as they wished. Combined with the appearance of these two people, how could the doctor not guess what had happened?
Throughout history, few emperors could do this. In addition, the young man spoke in a soft tone, and gradually, the doctor relaxed.
"Don't worry, my dear sir. I will do my best to keep you healthy."
Ye Shuo heard this and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help."
Another word of trouble made the doctor try his best to write out the prescription, and then he personally supervised the decoction of the medicine.
However, when facing Prince Ding, the doctor showed a completely different expression, being extremely fearful and cautious.
After the doctor took the prescription and went down to get the medicine, Prince Ding couldn't help himself anymore and pointed outside, saying, "What does he mean by this?"
Ye Shuo coughed lightly, looking quite innocent: "Maybe it's because my eldest brother is too fierce, so he is feared."
He is... fierce???
Who of them is more ferocious?
Prince Ding had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. Looking at his harmless brother lying in the quilt, Prince Ding felt even more suffocated.
Prince Ding finally realized what was going on and felt that he suffered because of his face. His younger brother was thin and strong, while he looked fierce, so once something happened, everyone would subconsciously think that he did it.
About half an hour later, Ye Shuo drank a bowl of tranquilizer and barely fell asleep. On the next day, Prince Ding saw, as expected, that his brother had started chatting with the doctor again. As for the doctor, he no longer looked fearful and timid as he did when facing him.
As Ye Shuo was now the emperor, he had to understand the people's sentiments occasionally. So after the doctor had taken his pulse, he casually asked about the local customs and people's living conditions.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "It would be fine if it was an ordinary year, but once there is a disaster or famine, the people of Beiting will come here to rob, just like this time, almost everyone in the city ran away."
In the past, these things might have been just a battle report to Ye Shuo, but now that he was there in person, he knew what the situation was like.
After going out, Ye Shuo saw that the people who had fled were coming back one after another, and those who had stayed in the city waiting to die must have heard something, so smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.
They heard that the fighting was over and that the Beiting people didn't break in. Aren't they happy?
Ye Shuo couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, these days of worrying will be over soon."
The doctor standing by was stunned for a moment, and before he could carefully look, he saw that the young man had turned around.
For some reason, the doctor subconsciously remembered this scene.
Although Ye Shuo had not retreated completely, it was not a good idea for him to stay here for a long time. After he felt a little better, he prepared to set off again.
Although Ye Shuo knew in his heart that there were some things he had to do and he had no regrets, the hurdle in his heart was not so easy to overcome after all.
Due to fatigue and psychological factors, Ye Shuo's condition recurred. When he arrived in Shangjing, Prince Ding watched helplessly as his face, which had finally recovered, turned pale again.
My younger brother is born white and not as strong as me. If he gets sick, he will look particularly bad.
Prince Ding felt that if the doctor saw this scene, he would be very sad.
At that time, Yao Zhi received the news and brought all the civil and military officials to pick up the people. In addition to her, there was also the current Queen Mother Wei.
Seeing her son from afar, Queen Mother Wei's heart suddenly tightened. Looking at Yao Zhi again, she couldn't help but frowned.
When Ye Shuo approached, Yao Zhi noticed that the young man seemed to have lost a lot of weight and his complexion did not look normal.
The first thing Ye Shuo said when he saw her was——
"I killed someone."
“I killed a lot of people.”
Every time in his dream, all he could hear were the struggling and wailing sounds of Beiting soldiers, and Lan Feng, whose head he had chopped off, with a bloody face and eyes wide open staring at him, as well as... the corpses and countless broken limbs scattered all over the battlefield.
As his voice sounded, Yao Zhi's heart twitched violently.
Then, Ye Shuo let out another long breath: "But fortunately, Beiting has paid the silver, and the plague and the disaster of national destruction should be resolved."
Although Prince Ding didn't hear what they said, he noticed the pity in the queen's eyes and wanted to poke his eyes out. He shouted in his heart, "Don't be fooled by him. This guy was so ruthless on the battlefield! He even scared Beiting!"
As for He Xiang and others on the side, they looked at this one, then looked at that one, and after weighing it in their minds, they finally shifted their attention to the former eldest prince.
At this time, his brother didn't even have time to say a word to them.
Prince Ding: “…”
Hold!
Why are they all like this!
Besides this, even the Fifth, Seventh and Eighth Princes in the crowd had strange looks on their faces. Ye Yan and the others even came forward and couldn't help but whispered, "Father, the noise you made this time was a bit too loud."
"But you made the Ninth Prince bear such a crime. You lied to him like this. Isn't that... not good?"
The moment the words fell, Prince Ding's expression turned even greener.
Prince Ding suddenly felt that sometimes knowing more than others was not a good thing.
