"Hahaha--"
When Zhao Zixu looked at Ye Yu, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This is the first time I heard that the bride ran away with the wedding approaching!
Ye Yushi had a sour face and looked at the emperor who was laughing happily with dissatisfaction. As a good friend, his fiancée ran away, and the emperor not only did not feel sorry for him, but also did not care about him. How could he still laugh?
It really makes him sad.
Your Majesty, do you still consider him your brother?
Zhao Zixu laughed, but after that, he still put on a face to comfort Ye Yushi, "Speaking of which, why did your fiancée's sister suddenly run away? She wouldn't be disgusted with you as her fiancé, right?"
"How is that possible? My sister Fushu loves me the most!"
Ye Yushi rejected Zhao Zixu without any politeness. "I am the Grand General of the General's Mansion and the most handsome man in Tokyo. How could Sister Fushu look down on me? Your Majesty, if you can't speak, then don't say anything nonsense."
"Then why did she run away from the marriage?" Zhao Zixu was really curious about why Ye Yushi's fiancée ran away from the marriage.
Ye Yushi, this guy, has an excellent family background and looks very handsome. He is touted by the young ladies as the most handsome man in Tokyo and has topped the list of most handsome men in Tokyo for two consecutive years.
There was actually a girl who didn't like him? And she was his beloved fiancée?
"I..." How did he know?
When Ye Yushi received a letter from his parents and learned that his sister Fushu had run away from her marriage, he immediately wanted to go to Su Nian to ask his parents about the situation, but he thought that his parents might write to him again. What if he went to Su Nian in a hurry and missed the letter sent back by his parents?
He was in a depressed mood, so he went to the palace to talk to His Majesty about it.
Zhao Zixu wanted to say a few words to comfort Ye Yushi, but seeing the boy's decadent look, he was afraid that mentioning his fiancée would make him even more sad, so he simply didn't comfort him.
"When it rains, let's wait a few days and see. Maybe there's a misunderstanding."
Zhao Zixu said lightly.
Ye Yushi stayed in the palace for half a day and then left. Two days later, he returned to the palace.
"My sister Fushu has completely escaped and there's no trace of her anywhere. My parents have temporarily canceled our marriage."
Ye Yushi smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you can't drink at the wedding."
Zhao Zixu patted his shoulder and said, "Do you want to cry? If you do, I'll lend you my shoulder."
Ye Yushi snorted, "I'm not a crybaby."
"Your wife ran away, aren't you sad?" Zhao Zixu insisted on jumping on Ye Yushi's chest.
Ye Yushi said, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. Sister Fushu and I haven't married yet, so she's not considered my wife. She said she wanted to run away from the marriage, but maybe she's not satisfied with it."
The young man sighed maturely, "Maybe he's not happy with me."
"Is it possible that your marriage will be cancelled?" Zhao Zixu seemed to have heard the boy's implication.
"I don't know."
Ye Yushi obviously had no intention of continuing, and Zhao Zixu tactfully didn't ask him any more questions.
The subject was turned aside.
Not long after, the eunuch Luo Shen came running over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, this is bad! The eldest prince has a sudden emergency, and Han, the court lady from the Empress's palace, wants you to come over quickly!"
"What? Yan'er——"
Zhao Zixu was usually calm and composed, but when he heard that his son had a sudden emergency, he panicked and quickly jumped up and ran out of the hall.
Ye Yushi had just reacted when His Majesty had already run out of the Wende Hall.
"Mr. Luo, how is the eldest prince?" Ye Yushi regarded His Majesty as his elder brother, and naturally regarded the eldest prince as his nephew.
"I don't know either." Eunuch Luo shook his head. "Young General, please leave the palace first."
The harem was an important place, and Ye Yushi, a mere minister, naturally could not enter it. It was inconvenient for him to stay in the palace, so he left.
The eldest prince Zhao Yan ultimately did not escape the disaster. A few days later, news of the eldest prince's death spread from the palace.
Zhao Zixu held a grand funeral for his son and posthumously conferred the title of Prince Huaizhang on the eldest prince.
The night after the eldest prince was buried, Zhao Zixu summoned Ye Yushi into the palace.
Ye Yushi squatted beside Zhao Zixu, and the light of the white candle illuminated Zhao Zixu's sadness.
"Your Majesty, if you want to cry, I will accompany you."
Zhao Zixu tilted his head, leaned on Ye Yushi's shoulder, and said in a sad voice, "Yushi, my son is gone. He was only four years old."
"Yan'er, my Yan'er..."
Zhao Zixu was heartbroken and hadn't slept for several nights. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty——"
"Mr. Luo, call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician—"
When Zhao Zixu woke up, he saw Ye Yushi and Luo Nei Shi standing in front of the couch.
"Your Majesty, you are awake, you are finally awake." Eunuch Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but when he remembered that the imperial physician said that there was something wrong with His Majesty's health, he couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm not feeling unwell at all. I'm just too tired." Zhao Zixu stood up. Eunuch Luo supported Zhao Zixu and brought a soft pillow for him to lean on.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that you didn't faint because you were too tired, but because there was something wrong with your body." Ye Yushi suddenly said.
"Is there something wrong with my body?"
Zhao Zixu was puzzled.
Eunuch Luo said, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense. Imperial Physician Su said that there was something wrong with your health, but this is a serious matter. Imperial Physician Su did not explain it to me. He said he would tell you after you woke up."
Zhao Zixu frowned and saw that Ye Yushi and Luo Nei Shi looked serious, so he knew they were not lying and called Doctor Su over.
Imperial Physician Su was summoned. He knelt before Zhao Zixu and confessed the truth, "Your Majesty, there seems to be a deadly poison in your body."
Ye Yushi and Luo Nei Shi's faces turned pale immediately.
"Are you sure?"
Doctor Su bowed and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."
Zhao Zixu was certain that Imperial Physician Su would not dare to speak nonsense, which meant that it was true.
Recently, he sometimes felt inexplicably unwell. He originally thought that it was due to overwork due to the busy state affairs when he first ascended the throne.
"Doctor Su, you said there's poison in my body. What kind of poison is it and how can I cure it?"
Imperial Physician Su said, "Your Majesty, I can only judge from your pulse that you have more than one poison in your body, perhaps several. I am not well versed in poisons, so I cannot tell what kind of poison you have. Moreover, in my opinion, the poison in your body has definitely not been there for more than a month or two."
He paused, "Your Majesty, I dare to guess that you were poisoned a long time ago, at least more than half a year ago."
Zhao Zixu was suddenly startled. He looked at Doctor Su and said coldly, "Doctor Su, this matter cannot be spread outside."
Imperial Physician Su kowtowed heavily. This matter was of grave importance, and he knew the pros and cons. "I will never tell anyone else!"
"Also, Doctor Su, please find out what kind of poison is in my body as soon as possible." Zhao Zixu said.
Doctor Su is the imperial physician appointed by Zhao Zixu and is extremely trustworthy.
Doctor Su was sent back to the Imperial Hospital.
Ye Yushi's eyes turned red at some point, and his voice was choked and hoarse, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Zixu scolded his ignorant brother like an elder brother, "You are a man of great stature, why are you crying?"
Ye Yushi couldn't help but sniff, "I dare not."
