Chapter 244 Brothers
Li Chengxiu was worried about his mother and wife and wanted to go back quickly, so his shoes almost sparked as he ran all the way.
Just after exiting the gate of Fengming Palace and turning the second corner, he bumped into an apricot-yellow figure walking towards him.
"Brother, get out of the way!"
"I can't get out of the way, ouch!"
As expected, the two brothers bumped into each other. Li Laosi was a big, strong man, so his flesh was tough. Poor his beautiful brother bumped into him, and instantly there was a bright red mark under his nose.
"Oh my god! Bro, are you okay?!"
Without even bothering to cover his bruised chin, Li Chengxiu hurriedly tried to grab his own crispy prince.
The palace maid following behind the prince was a little confused by this sudden scene. When they reacted, they felt like the sky was falling!
"Your Highness!"
Li Zhongyi, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, turned pale, as if he had lost his parents. Oh my god, is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi going to send me back home with a smack of his head today?
Li Zhongyi rushed over in a hurry to check on his master. Looking at the dripping blood, he spoke with tears in his voice.
"Your Highness, please do not move. I will send for the imperial physician right away!"
"No need, these are just minor problems. I have experience!"
After checking back and forth several times and confirming that his fragile prince brother had only suffered a nosebleed, Li Chengxiu was relieved and used the sleeve of his robe to stroke him vigorously a few times. Then he pinched his nose with his big claws and told him to lift his head.
"Brother, quickly raise your head and control the blood!"
The prince was pinched by his brother and his head leaned back. He was so angry that he couldn't help but kick forward a few times.
"Ouch, brother, you kicked me!"
"I did it on purpose!"
Pushing aside the hairy hands and big claws of his often speechless stupid brother, the prince, who was used to being delicate and particular, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and pinched his nose.
Feeling as if there was no more heat flowing down, he glanced sideways at the panicked eunuch beside him.
"I'm fine, and there's no need to call the doctor."
"But Your Highness, you are bleeding..."
"I know my limits, step back!"
"……yes!"
After sending the palace maids away, the prince pinched his nose and tilted his head back for a while. When he felt that the bleeding had stopped, he put down his hand and gently wiped his nose and lips with a handkerchief.
"Brother, is the bleeding gone?"
Li Chengxiu looked at the blood on his brother's chin with a guilty conscience and asked cautiously.
"Why? Are you sorry the bleeding has stopped?"
"Look at what you're saying. Am I still your biological brother, born from the same parents? How can you think so badly of me?"
The prince ignored him, wiping his chin and rolling his eyes in annoyance. Li Chengxiu stood aside and couldn't really help, so he could only mutter to himself and defend himself in a low voice.
"I didn't do it on purpose. The road is so wide, and I was running just fine. Who knew you would suddenly appear?"
"Did I just show up out of nowhere? I haven't even scolded you for getting hurt, and you're the first to blame me? Li Laosi, I haven't seen you in a while, and you've clearly gotten carried away! How dare you be the first to complain?"
“Who is the evil one?
I'm obviously a very good person!
My eldest sister is at home every day now, praising me as a hero and a good person, did you know?
Humph, you are the only one who doesn’t know the value of things!”
"Jiang Wan's mouth is full of lies. Has she ever told the truth since she was a child? You are so stupid..."
"Shut up!"
Li Chengxiu was originally feeling guilty and embarrassed for having hurt his brother, but now his brother actually started talking about his own wife, and his face instantly fell.
"I was the one who bumped into you, why are you teasing my wife?
If you have the guts, come at me. I’m not afraid of you at all!
You are not allowed to talk about my wife."
Anyway, he was raised like this since he was a child, so he is thick-skinned and not afraid at all.
The King of Qi was fearless.
The prince was speechless.
Feeling that he had wiped himself clean, he angrily threw the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand at his money-loser brother.
"If you dare say something stupid again, I'll beat you so hard that your father won't even recognize you!"
"You dare! If you dare to deal with me, you'll be finished if my wife comes back to deal with you."
The two brothers were equally obsessed with love. The difference now was that the prince had already killed his wife to prove his point, but the foolish younger brother was still swimming freely in the sea of love, as if eight bulls couldn't pull him back.
The prince curled his lips sinisterly, but before he could say anything, his stupid younger brother interrupted him.
"Hey, hey, that's the expression! Every time that mean-spirited Li Lao Er wants to do something evil, he has the same expression as you do now!
I say, brother, are you still able to do it?
Why would you learn from that damned bastard Li Lao Er? What's wrong? It's only been a few months since we last met, and you've been possessed by Li Lao Er? "
The prince's wicked smile was interrupted, and he could only pull it halfway and stop at the corner of his lips. He tried several times to stir his emotions, but he couldn't. In the end, he could only quickly smooth the corner of his lips and return to his expressionless and cold state.
"Stop talking nonsense! You just came back and you're already rushing around the palace in a hurry. What do you want to do?"
"oh oh!"
Li Chengxiu, who was reminded by his brother, jumped up on the spot, and the complaining look on his face quickly turned into worry and anxiety.
"Brother, I don't think this illness of our mother is anything good. Look at how thin she is. I don't think she would have the energy to hit me!"
I was just about to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask Old Man Sun and Uncle Yunyue about the situation, and I just happened to run into you around the corner.
How about we go together?"
She reached out and grabbed her brother's wide sleeve, pulling him forward without any hesitation, muttering to herself as she walked.
"You said you saw it right before our eyes, and yet you still let our mother become so ill, how can you be a son? I bet the old man will punish you when he gets back!"
The look in the prince's eyes darkened, and he looked at the back of his stupid brother's head, a hidden storm rising in his eyes.
As she followed him, she responded to his words expressionlessly. Her tone sounded light, yet heavy.
"Not long after you left for your fiefdom, your mother became ill with a cough, and I went out of my way to find someone to treat her.
But the Imperial Physician said that the Queen Mother worried and overworked herself when she was young and damaged her health.
Normally, it looks fine, but once it gets seriously ill, it's very difficult to recover and it takes time to recuperate."
"Then this has been taken too long, several months already! Is Old Man Sun's medical skills not good enough? He is the Imperial Physician, but he always boasts about his knowledge every day! Let's ask Uncle Yunyue today, he is a good doctor."
Li Chengxiu, a carefree man, didn't notice anything wrong with his brother's tone, and continued to speak from the heart as before.
