Chapter 929: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 71
Yuncan's eyes felt a little hot. His elder brother treated him the same as always, and it was still a familiar feeling.
He said sullenly, "Brother, you're talking nonsense! No way! I'm not thin, and I'm not ugly!"
"Oh my!" Yun Ye was very rude. He pinched his brother's face and laughed, "Why are you dropping little golden beans? Hurry up and get a basin for the second young master to catch them. They can be sold for a lot of money."
Yuncan slapped his brother's hand away and glared at him angrily!
Yun Ye laughed loudly. Ji Yunhuan hit his arm and scolded him, "Stop messing around! I finally managed to coax her into crying again. How can you act like a brother? No wonder people dislike you and don't want to see you!"
"Imperial Physician Luo said that the poison in Can'er's body has been completely eliminated and he is fine. If you don't want to go to the academy, I will ask a teacher to come back and teach you. Don't delay your studies."
Yun Can wiped away his tears and said, "I will go to the academy tomorrow to prevent my elder brother from laughing at me again!"
Yun Ye was very satisfied. "That's good. If someone bullies you, don't hold it in. Come back and tell big brother. I'll take care of them!"
The next day, Yun Ting came back from the military camp and was very pleased to hear that Yun Can went to the academy. The Duke was so happy that he sent another large wave of rewards to Yuhuayuan.
Yun Ye grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Why are they all given to you, but I get none? He favors his youngest son and his daughter-in-law, and I am just a weed anyway!"
Ji Yunhuan held a box of huge pearls in her hands, smiling with her eyes curved. She was tired of coaxing Yun Ye these days. She found that Yun Ye was getting more and more demanding. It would be fine if she didn't coax him, but if she coaxed him a little, he would make a fuss and never stop!
"Go ahead and act like a spoiled child! If you have the guts, go and act like a spoiled child to the Duke. What's the point of acting like a spoiled child in front of me? Isn't this jade pendant meant for you? It's so big, it's not appropriate for me to wear it. The Duke is very proud, but you still have to make him explain it so clearly? Just be happy with yourself if you get such a good thing!"
Yun Ye leaned against Ji Yunhuan and groaned, "You don't know how annoying he is. It's a rare opportunity for me to write a memorial to the emperor, but not only did he not help me, he even found fault with me! We are not like father and son, we are more like enemies!"
Ji Yunhuan was helpless. The father and son had been arguing with each other for more than ten years and they wouldn't change at all. It was harmless anyway, so he just let them argue.
Isn't life all about noise and noise?
At the end of the year, Ji Yunhuan's belly became more and more obvious, so she rarely left the house and stayed at home to take care of her pregnancy.
The situation in the capital city became increasingly tense. The emperor caught a cold, but he did not order the crown prince to govern the country. Instead, he asked the heads of the three provinces to discuss state affairs, with the Shangshu Ling as the leader. The emperor ordered the Censorate to monitor all officials and check and balance the Shangshu Ling.
The court was in chaos, memorials were sent to the palace like snowflakes, but there was no response. The Censorate, which was rarely valued by the emperor, was biting people everywhere like a mad dog. Some old ministers even took sick leave, not wanting to get involved in this mess.
The emperor had not attended court for half a month, had not summoned officials, had not approved memorials to the emperor's memorials, and not even a single word had been heard. The Minister of the Chancellery had requested to see the emperor for several days, but was not summoned.
There were rumors in the palace that the emperor was seriously ill and in a coma, and he might not live long. The people in the court were in a panic, and the common people in the capital also felt the ominous atmosphere. Even the night market was closed, and the people locked their doors at night, stayed inside and did not dare to make any noise.
Only Duke Yun was summoned to the palace, but he had not returned home when the palace gates were locked at night.
Yun Ye was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He wanted to find the prince to discuss countermeasures, but he felt that it would be very conspicuous to be with the prince at this critical juncture.
The next day, Ji Yunhuan sensed in her dream that she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. She was overjoyed and went to Gaota Temple to fulfill her wish.
Qin Youyou was diagnosed with pregnancy, so she went to Gaota Temple to pay for incense. The two of them were close friends, so naturally they had endless things to talk about.
Yun Ye accompanied the Crown Prince's wife to fulfill a wish. The "Prince" was naturally still in the Prince's Mansion. At this moment, it was impossible for him to accompany a young lady to worship Buddha. The Crown Prince came in green clothes, disguised as an attendant.
In the wing room, a screen separates the left and right sides.
Yun Ye knelt down and saluted. The prince supported him with one hand and said, "There is no need for us to go through all this formality. Let's get down to business."
"The Duke was summoned to the palace, but no other decree came out. It seems that the Duke is trapped to prevent the capital army from taking the opportunity to cause chaos. My eighth brother is not capable of making the Duke obey him. I guess that the emperor is just seriously ill and his life should not be in danger for the time being."
"I requested to enter the palace to serve my father, but he refused. He only said that the Eighth Prince would be enough to serve me. I tried to contact my mother, but the palace was controlled by Concubine Dong, and my mother could not send any news."
"The Dong family is very active, with many guests coming to celebrate the eighth prince's ascension to the throne in advance!"
Yun Ye said: "The Dong family also went to the manor to try to get Madam Dong out, but the manor was very tight inside and no one could get in, so they failed."
"If this serious illness is just a test from Your Majesty, Your Highness should stay in the palace and not move around without permission, lest you be accused of treason. Let me break into the palace. Anyway, I am used to being a playboy, so it is not surprising that I can do anything."
"The Duke's Mansion has offended the Dong family and the Eighth Prince. The Emperor is seriously ill and the Eighth Prince is in control of the palace. I am worried that something has happened to my father and I am also filial. I will break in to take a look. Your Majesty can't kill me for this. At worst, I will just quit as the Left Lieutenant General!"
"I will go alone and make a scene. Even if I can't see His Majesty or my father, I can still find out the truth."
The prince smiled, "You are not afraid of death, but are you willing to give up your delicate princess? If you die in the palace, she will cry until her eyes go blind."
Yun Ye scratched his head. "It's better for me to go than for His Majesty to go. If you barge in, it will be considered as treason. Wouldn't the Eighth Prince have more reason to persuade His Majesty to depose the Crown Prince?"
The prince tapped the table and said with a smile, "Aye, I came to see you not to push you to death. Don't worry, I still have some connections in the palace. I can't always be led by others by the nose."
"If the Eighth Prince is really so bold as to kidnap my father and intend to rebel, I will have to go to the palace. Otherwise, if an imperial decree is issued and the Eighth Prince really ascends the throne, it will be against his will to plot big things in the future. I have lived a clean life and cannot be stained by such a stain."
"Come closer and wait for two more days. I will go to the palace to see what my good eighth brother is planning to do!"
Two days later, the prince asked to see his father at the palace gate. Upon hearing the news, all the officials rushed there and asked to see His Majesty together. They waited until sunset, but the emperor still did not summon anyone.
The prince was worried about his father's health, so he broke into the palace alone, holding a dagger to his neck, and begged for the palace gate to be opened, risking his life.
There was also Yun Ye, the prince of the Duke's Mansion, who was extremely pure and filial. He drew his sword to protect the prince, forced back the imperial guards, and asked to see Duke Yun.
The prince's blood was splattered on the palace gate. The emperor was moved by his filial piety and summoned the prince into the palace. Prince Yun took off his weapons and went to see the emperor together.
