Chapter 238 He couldn’t bear to let the boy worry about him anymore
However, if the Fourth Prince also becomes a fool, it seems that no one can compete with Xiao Jiwu.
After all, Xiao Jiwu’s remaining brothers are still young.
It seems that there are no deliberate changes and everything is still following the original plot.
Shadow One and Shadow Three have already gone, and all that’s left is to wait.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi silently rested his head on Prince Xiao's shoulder, and the carriage soon started moving again...
————
The news came back at 11:00 that night.
Because the horse was frightened, the Fourth Prince and his carriage were pulled into the moat when he entered the palace. When he was rescued, he had fallen into a coma and had a high fever. All the imperial doctors in the palace went to treat him, but the Fourth Prince still did not wake up.
In this case, it would appear to be successful.
Yun Qingshi was finally able to sleep peacefully.
The next day, another big news came.
The fourth prince had a high fever that damaged his brain and caused him to become dementia. The emperor was so angry that he fainted and stopped attending court for a day.
Xiao Jiwu had to go to the palace to take care of his illness, and Yun Qingshi was very worried and sent him to the gate of the palace.
He always worries that something might go wrong and just hopes that everything will go smoothly...
————
When Xiao Jiwu entered the palace, the emperor had already woken up, but was temporarily bedridden, and the emperor's new favorite, Concubine Shen, was attending to him.
Upon seeing Xiao Jiwu, the eunuch Liu Gonggong beside the emperor went in to report immediately.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yi has arrived."
As Eunuch Liu's voice fell, the next moment, there was a sudden sound of something falling to the ground and breaking, followed by the emperor's hoarse voice accompanied by a cough.
"Let him, ahem, let him get in!"
"yes."
Eunuch Liu soon appeared outside the palace and bowed to Xiao Jiwu and said, "Your Highness Prince Yi, His Majesty invites you into the palace."
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Jiwu went into the hall. At the same time, Concubine Shen came out. The moment they met, Concubine Shen silently gave Xiao Jiwu a look.
Xiao Jiwu appeared to be much calmer.
The emperor was in his prime, and even though his sons had frequent accidents, he would not faint suddenly.
All this is thanks to the newly promoted Concubine Shen.
When the emperor saw Xiao Jiwu enter the hall, he smashed another white porcelain bowl on the spot.
The white porcelain bowl hit Xiao Jiwu's feet accurately and shattered into pieces.
Xiao Jiwu, however, seemed to be oblivious and calmly saluted: "Your Highness, your son pays respects to you, Father."
The whole hall was filled with the strong smell of medicine. Xiao Ling'an was supported by a slender palace maid and leaned against a soft pillow. Then, with a face full of anger, she shouted at Xiao Jiwu: "Rebellious son, kneel down before me! Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Jiwu remained calm upon hearing the voice. He lifted his clothes and pretended to kneel down, even though there were many broken porcelain pieces scattered around his feet. His knees would surely be cut into a bloody mess by the broken pieces.
But when he knelt down, he suddenly thought of Yun Qingshi.
He recalled how the young man had sent him to the carriage with such concern today.
He recalled the time when he was punished to kneel, when the young man patiently applied the dressing to his legs, and how he worried about him time and time again...
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiwu took a step back to avoid the porcelain pieces before kneeling down.
He was reluctant to let the young man worry about him anymore. If he went back injured, Yun Qingshi would definitely be heartbroken and sad.
However, this action of his immediately aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction. Xiao Ling'an sneered, his eyes filled with resentment: "Oh, Wu'er has also learned to disobey me, cough, cough..."
Xiao Jiwu's face remained emotionless as he replied calmly, "Father, please forgive me. I didn't do that."
"Ahem...you still dare to say you didn't have it!" Xiao Ling'an pretended to go find something to throw, but the medicine bowl and teacup were both smashed by him, leaving him with nothing. Finally, he could only roar, "Tell me the truth, was it you who caused the fourth brother to fall into the water?!"
Xiao Jiwu: "I don't have any."
Xiao Lingan sneered, "Even if you didn't do it, you're still responsible for this. Give up on that thought. I can't possibly pass the throne to a prince born with bad luck. Ahem, ahem."
Xiao Jiwu was silent this time. He was thinking about what Yun Qing had said to him.
He has never been a disaster, but because people are afraid of things they have never seen and are afraid of losing control, they regard it as an ominous disaster.
Of course, he also knew that his father would not voluntarily pass the throne to him.
But, he will definitely get what he wants.
Seeing Xiao Jiwu remained silent, the emperor grew even angrier. However, his illness had left him with no energy left. He panted and glared at Xiao Jiwu for a long time before he spoke again:
"Ahem, I don't want to see you again, get out! Get out, ahem, you have to kneel outside for two hours before I let you leave, get out..."
"Son, I obey your order."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu kowtowed respectfully before leaving the hall.
After kneeling for two hours, he left the emperor's bedroom on time.
But Xiao Jiwu did not leave the palace, but went to Xiao Lixuan's residence.
At this time, in one of the prince's bedrooms, Xiao Lixuan was hiding under the table. No matter how the palace maids persuaded him, he was unwilling to come out.
Seeing Xiao Jiwu appear, Xiao Lixuan shrank back in fear: "You, who are you? I don't know you!"
The maid beside him hurriedly introduced: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, this is His Highness Prince Yi, he is your elder brother."
"Brother?" Xiao Lixuan stared at Xiao Jiwu for a long time before shaking his head hastily. "No, I don't know him. Let him go! Let him go! Wuwu, sister, please let him out! He looks so scary."
After hearing this, the palace maid looked at Xiao Jiwu in fear. Naturally, she didn't dare to really drive him away. She wanted to persuade Xiao Jiwu to leave, but in the end she didn't dare to speak.
Even though Xiao Lixuan was pulling at the corner of her clothes.
After a moment, Xiao Jiwu ordered the palace maid, "Please leave first. I have something to say to my fourth brother."
"Yes." The palace maid looked as if she had been pardoned and quickly retreated.
As the palace maids left, only Xiao Jiwu and Xiao Lixuan, who was hiding under the table, were left in the room.
Seeing that he was the only one left, Xiao Lixuan was so scared that he burst into tears.
Xiao Jiwu said calmly: "There is a snake behind you. If you don't come out, the snake will bite you."
"Snake! Snake!" Xiao Lixuan's eyes widened with fear when he heard this, and then he hurriedly got out of the table.
And where he left, under the table, a puddle of water had appeared without him noticing.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu looked away in disgust, then took out a black pill from the brocade pouch on his waist and handed it to Xiao Lixuan: "I am indeed your brother. This is the candy I brought you. Do you want to eat it?"
"Candy?" Xiao Lixuan stared at the candy in Xiao Jiwu's hand for a long time, but he couldn't resist the temptation and stretched out his hand: "Eat it."
Xiao Jiwu threw the candy directly into Xiao Lixuan's hand, and watched him eat it before leaving.
He hadn't lied to Xiao Lixuan; the black thing was indeed candy. But if he played dumb, Xiao Lixuan would definitely not dare to eat the candy he gave him...
