His eyes lit up. "Nineteenth brother, so cute!"
Looking at Ying Ziyu, who was still fast asleep, he muttered to himself, "Such an adorable little brother, he'll surely be very popular with Consort Shu, won't he?"
As she spoke, a hint of melancholy appeared on her face. "Will you only like my younger brother and not me anymore from now on?"
"To avoid this situation, I have no choice but to..."
Muttering to himself, Hu Hai slowly reached out his hands toward Ying Ziyu.
"You've built a good relationship with your brother! From now on, I'll protect you!"
Hu Hai's little face kept rubbing against Ying Ziyu.
My little brother smells so sweet and soft, it's really nice to rub against him!
Ying Ziyu was abruptly jolted awake from his dream.
The mountain of gold that was clearly sitting on his buttocks vanished as soon as he opened his eyes.
Ying Ziyu was very unhappy.
He was even more annoyed when he saw Hu Hai's face pressed against his own.
[Where did this brat come from! Stay away from me, okay?!]
A sudden voice rang in his mind, startling Hu Hai, who immediately stood up straight. "Who?"
He looked around and saw no one else.
Hu Hai scratched his head.
Am I hallucinating?
[Whose child is this? If they're so free, why not put them on a five-year college entrance exam, three-year mock exam schedule?]
[How dare they come and disturb my sleep! So annoying!]
The voice rang out again, and Hu Hai looked around carefully to make sure no one was there.
Could it be...?
Hu Hai's gaze fell on Ying Ziyu.
Ying Ziyu's morning grumpiness hadn't subsided yet.
What are you looking at! Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!
He waved his arms, making "ee-yah" sounds, and his bright, watery eyes revealed a hint of anger.
He really is the younger brother!
I can actually hear my brother's thoughts?
Is this what it means to be brothers united?
But my younger brother is so fierce.
Hu Hai forced a smile and said, "Little brother, you don't recognize me yet, do you? I am your eighteenth brother, Hu Hai."
[Hu Hai, I know!]
[That good-for-nothing who, because of his ignorance and incompetence, ultimately led to the downfall of the Qin Dynasty and became a sinner for all time!]
Hu Hai's face stiffened.
Did the Qin Dynasty perish?
I?
[And in the end, he died a truly gruesome death!]
Hu Hai took a step back.
A gruesome death?
He was torn apart by five horses, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.
Hu Hai, his face filled with terror, slowly moved away from Ying Ziyu.
Dismemberment by five horses?
What a pity.
Ying Ziyu felt quite sympathetic towards Hu Hai's plight.
When his mother was falsely accused of giving birth to a monster, the timid boy even mustered up the courage to plead with his father, though his words carried little weight and had no effect.
Although he was cruel after becoming emperor, he still used his power to set up memorial tablets for his mother and himself, this "monster".
They even slaughtered Consort Li's entire family.
Therefore, in Ying Ziyu's view, he was not entirely wicked; on the contrary, he was somewhat good.
Hu Hai walked back into the palace, seemingly lost in thought. "I don't want to be ignorant and incompetent! I don't want to be a sinner for all time! I don't want to be torn apart by five horses! I want to study! To study hard!"
"It's just reading, right? I'll read the books until they're worn out!"
Seeing him walk straight outside, Consort Shu called out to him, "Xiao Hai, where are you going?"
"I'm going back to school!"
"But we haven't eaten pear blossom cake yet. Isn't that your favorite?"
"I'm not eating anymore, or I'll be torn to pieces!"
Consort Shu looked puzzled.
What's wrong with this kid?
As they walked, the little guy got scared and burst into tears, then ran away quickly.
That's terrible!
Dismemberment by five horses was truly horrific!
