Chapter 351 Extra Seven
At the moment, Ye Xun stood there in a daze, obviously still not recovering from the shock of being stabbed through the heart by his Ninth Uncle.
However, in just a few short breaths of time, Emperor Taicheng and the Second Prince seemed to have reached some agreement and surrounded him. Especially Emperor Taicheng, he tightly grasped his son's hand with a tense expression, leaving no doubt that if Ye Xun had not been dead, Emperor Taicheng would not mind letting him die again.
If I had known this would happen, I should not have spared his life. All my hard work throughout my life has now been completely wasted, destroyed by him in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Taicheng gritted his teeth.
The prince sat there, wanting to say something several times but hesitantly saying nothing in the end.
Even though the prince only knew what happened after his death from a few words, he also knew what would have happened to his son if Xiaojiu had not protected him when his father was furious. After that, Xiaojiu took him to her side and raised him personally, fearing that he would die before his father's death. It can be said that she loved him so much that it was no exaggeration to say that she treated him like her own son. At least the prince had never treated him so attentively when he was alive, but he did not expect that he would end up like this.
And this should not have been Xiaojiu's responsibility. As the saying goes, people are forgotten when they leave, and people of the royal family are even more cold-hearted by nature. He was a scapegoat in the first place, and his death was not clean in the end. If it were someone else, they would not dare to be involved in it at all, and it would be good enough if they didn't add insult to injury. But Xiaojiu was the only one who was willing to speak up for him at that time.
The prince knew that ever since he had helped Xiaojiu to be born safely into this world, he had never let him down. However, his own son had now wasted all of Xiaojiu's kindness.
Noticing that the Second Prince suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way, the Crown Prince did not resist, but just lowered his eyes and remained silent, avoiding his son's gaze calmly.
The Fourth Prince himself had no grudge against the Crown Prince, but Ye Shuo had saved the Fourth Prince's life after all, and the Fourth Prince had no chance to repay him during his lifetime. Now he was repaying his younger brother a favor. What's more, Ye Xun's actions reminded the Fourth Prince of the Thirteenth Prince, who was also repaying kindness with enmity. The Thirteenth Prince had no feelings for him after all, but the man in front of him, the Fourth Prince felt it was not an exaggeration to call him a beast.
Therefore, when he took action, the Fourth Prince showed no mercy at all.
Emperor Taicheng was not in good health during his lifetime, but after his death, all his illnesses were cured and he was not as weak as before. In addition, he was angry, so he was even more ruthless.
Ye Xun was fighting two people at once, and his kung fu skills were not very good, so he was soon beaten to the point where he couldn't even stand up.
Emperor Jingwen watched coldly at the side. At this moment, he was just glad that his youngest son found a woman from the martial arts world as his princess and learned martial arts from her. Otherwise, he would have been killed by this beast this time.
It would be fine for other people, but if Emperor Jingwen saw his youngest son in the underworld at this moment, even he himself would not know if he could still control his emotions.
After venting for a while, Emperor Taicheng felt that the anger in his heart had dissipated a little. He severely punished the other party in his heart. Emperor Taicheng himself was not a generous person. He gritted his teeth and decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would not let him off easily.
Now that he is in public, it is unrealistic for Emperor Taicheng to kill him. Besides, he doesn't know if he can die again after becoming a ghost. If he wants to retaliate thoroughly, he can only take a long-term approach.
The little emperor stood aside and did not take any action. However, when he saw Ye Xun struggling to stand up, he suddenly said, "That's good. The Ninth Prince will only like me and he will never like you again."
No matter how deep the friendship was when they grew up together, after the other party attacked the Ninth Prince, especially the person the Ninth Prince cherished the most, all these friendships were gone.
Ye Xun thought that he no longer cared about these things, but what was the bitter feeling that filled his heart at this moment?
But the Yin and Yang are separated, and humans and ghosts take different paths. There is no way back.
Ye Xun subconsciously looked at his father. The prince could only smile bitterly and could not say a word of comfort. After a long while, Ye Xun finally shed tears.
…
Throwing Ye Xun, who was like a dead dog, aside, Emperor Taicheng took a deep breath, took his son back to his seat, and turned his attention back to the playing images.
Although the way Xiaojiu stabbed Ye Xun's chest was very unusual, being an emperor is not something that can be achieved by just having high martial arts skills, especially after the young emperor's will, he couldn't even want to be the emperor, otherwise no matter who the successor is, he will not survive.
…But why does it feel so weird?
The Second Prince seemed to have eaten something unclean. He felt like he was neither going up nor down. He felt a little nauseous, a little sick, a little irritable, and he really wanted to hit something. What was going on?
Noticing that the atmosphere around him was becoming strange again, the little emperor couldn't help but shrink his neck. Why, why did he have such an expression? He thought it was good for the Ninth Prince to be the emperor.
As if sensing everyone's strange and complicated thoughts, the scene quickly switched to other people who had learned the news.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Jingwen was worried that Xiaojiu would not be able to ascend to this position. If he could not become the emperor, he would have to die. He was also worried that if he really became the emperor, wouldn't the Great Zhou be doomed? With his arrogant, lazy and unlearned appearance, how could anything good happen?
On one side is his son and on the other side is the country. There is a fierce confrontation between emotion and reason, and for a moment, Emperor Jingwen's expression is distorted.
However, to his surprise, what Emperor Jingwen worried about did not happen. It was just that the person in charge was confused and could not think calmly as usual.
When Emperor Jingwen saw the eldest prince discussing with his sons whether to try again, his heart lifted a little, but when he saw that the other party gave up in an instant, he breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help twitching his lips.
After breaking his leg, has the boss become less and less ambitious?
When the others heard Ye Yan and the others felt sorry for Xiao Jiu, they wanted to ask, "Boss, how did you teach your children?" Their elbows were bent to the roots of their thighs, and they felt sorry for a man who was about to become an emperor. Are you their real father, or is Xiao Jiu their real father?
But looking at the little emperor, the Fourth Prince didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the eldest sons only said so, but the sixth son's son simply gave away the entire kingdom generously. When it comes to squandering, the sixth son's only son is still the one who makes the most money.
Oh, that's okay.
Emperor Taicheng took a deep breath upon seeing this, and suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have cared more about Jin'er when he was alive, otherwise Jin'er wouldn't have looked for her father everywhere.
The scene then turned to Prince Su and Prince Jin. When they were together, they were much more serious than Prince Ding. Their analyses were very logical, and although their expressions were equally ferocious, they were still rational.
The two people analyzed the situation over and over again, and finally came to the despairing conclusion that Xiaojiu is now the most suitable candidate, and there will be no better choice than him.
When Emperor Jingwen and others outside the screen heard this, they felt no less desperate than Prince Su and Prince Jin. Especially when they heard the two of them say, "What do you think, if your brother knew about this...", Emperor Jingwen's expression was extremely cold.
There is no "if". I already know it, and I really want to crawl out of the imperial tomb.
And the sentence ["Think of it brightly. After all, our nephew is in extremely strong health."] successfully broke down Emperor Taicheng's defense. He couldn't help but think of Xiaojiu's earnest advice to him, saying that a good body is the most important thing and asked him not to put the cart before the horse.
No way, no way, this can’t really be the case?
Emperor Taicheng took a deep breath, as if he had instantly returned to the state when he was seriously ill, and even breathing became difficult.
Then came the Shangshu Ling and others who fiercely opposed it, almost popping their eyes out. Seeing this, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince finally felt a little relieved.
You see, God is not so partial as to let Xiaojiu get so easily what they tried their best to get.
However... before the two of them could be happy for even a moment, in the blink of an eye, Shang Shu Ling and the others were persuaded by Prime Minister He, Prince Su and Prince Jin.
Emperor Taicheng: "..."
The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince: "..."
Emperor Taicheng dared to swear that even after he married He Xiang's granddaughter, He Xiang had never been so nice to him, not to mention Prince Su and Prince Jin who had always looked at him with scrutiny and consideration.
The scene ends here, and more excitement is yet to come.
The prince's chest rose and fell, and he soon discovered that something seemed to be missing in the picture. After careful observation, he slowly and with difficulty said: "...Is Xiaojiu not here yet?"
A group of ministers have been arguing for a long time, but it turns out that the real boss hasn't arrived at all, right?
The Crown Prince and his entourage had been eagerly waiting for Prime Minister He and his entourage to come up with a conclusion. Sure enough, Xiaojiu showed up only after the matter was finalized. As soon as he showed up, he rudely threw a big trouble upon Prince Su, Prime Minister He and his entourage.
Xiaojiu wanted to kill the mastermind of the rebellion, the Tenth Prince, but Prince Su and the others disagreed. They didn't want to see brothers killing each other, so they wanted to maintain peace and get the matter over with. Xiaojiu was naturally unwilling to give up, and then... he just quit.
I'm quitting this job...
I quit...
...
Emperor Jingwen, who had worked hard and endured humiliation for decades before ascending the throne, said: "?"
Emperor Taicheng, who had worked hard for most of his life and tried his best to gain recognition, said: "?"
The prince who had a hard time and was finally forced to death: "?"
The second prince who had gone to great lengths but was demoted to a commoner: "?"
The fourth prince, who was pierced through the chest by a sword before the fight even started, said: "?"
Little Emperor: “Uh…”
That would have been fine, but the key point is that Prince Su and the Shangshu Ling actually compromised because of this. Not only that, they also tried their best to retain him. Emperor Jingwen never knew that these people were so good at saying nice things. It really opened his eyes. If you didn't know, you would have thought that Xiaojiu was some rare and wise saint with great strategies.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Prince Su and his companions cried loudly in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Ye royal family. In the underworld, next to the projection, the Second Prince and his companions also cried loudly.
Even Emperor Jingwen, who loved Ye Shuo the most, couldn't help but roar in his heart -
Why! I just want to ask you why! ?
…
…
"…Father, why don't we just shut this thing down?"
After a while, the prince said quietly.
As everyone knows, a dead ghost will not die again, so the prince suddenly realized what it meant to be worse than death.
For some reason, I suddenly lost interest in the future of the Great Zhou.
