Chapter 28: The Emperor Arrives

  The emperor has arrived

  The emperor has arrived

  Cai Xiuying's fleeting expression of relaxation did not escape Yin Ruofei's eyes, and Yin Ruofei was also very clear about how Xiao Lin usually treated the old lady.

  If the old lady were in good health at this time, Mrs. Kobayashi might have come to add flowers to the brocade, but unfortunately, the old lady is now ill and cannot speak, let alone interfere with family affairs. With Mrs. Kobayashi's personality, she must be secretly delighted.

  But now she is always melancholy, and from time to time still comes to compete with him to serve the old lady, which is really abnormal, and now she has to go to plead for the old lady.

  When things go against the norm, they must be supernatural.

  Yin Ruofei sneered inwardly, he always felt that the old lady's illness was not ordinary, mysteriously, how did she become so seriously ill, and no one could find anything wrong. It seems that this trip is necessary after all.

  After taking a bath and changing into a simple yet elegant outfit, her hair was carefully tied up by Zilong.

  Zi Ling Zi Yun and several other little maidservants, Yin Ruo Fei didn't bring, but instead brought the two new little servants that had recently been assigned to him.

  It's not that I don't trust Ziling and the others, it's just that this time is different from before, bringing a few girls along would be somewhat inconvenient. These two young men were personally chosen by Old Madam after the last incident, he can completely put his heart at ease to bring them along.

  It was said that they were going to pray for blessings for their grandmother, and Yin Jinyuan didn't know where he rushed back from, also wanting to follow along. As for the other brothers, it wasn't clear if they had discussed it beforehand or what, but each of them had a reason or excuse, which only made Yin Ruofei even more suspicious.

  When she heard that Yin Jinyuan was going, Xiao Lin's face suddenly didn't look very good.

  "Eldest son, your grandmother is seriously ill and your father is not at home. As the eldest son, you should stay at home and take care of things."

  "My younger brothers and sisters are all young, I'll go instead." Jin Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head, "Besides, as the eldest grandson, I also want to pray for blessings for my grandmother."

  Unable to refuse Jin Yuan, Xiao Lin Shi had no choice but to agree. She brought along several of her sisters from the Yin Ruo Fei household and set off in three horse-drawn carriages towards Fo Guang Temple.

  "Big brother, didn't you go to the military training ground?" Yin Ruofei had been getting up early and staying up late for the past two days, and the little bit of flesh he had previously gained was once again consumed, his palm-sized small face even looked a bit pale.

  Jin Yuan looked at his brother, feeling extremely heartbroken. These past few days, he had only occasionally come to find Yin Ruofei to practice boxing, and more often than not, he would hear the maid say that he had just fallen asleep, so he would quietly leave without disturbing him.

  "I'm not going today." Jin Yuan is already 15 this year, and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. For the past two years, he has been training with Yin Haicheng in the military camp along with other soldiers, but he hasn't officially enlisted yet, so he still has some freedom to come and go. Recently, there have been things going on at home, and Yin Haicheng has allowed him to stay at home, just in case something happens when no one is around, there would be a man in the house to take charge.

  Yin Ruofei nodded, both of them were not talkative people, and the carriage fell silent. For some reason, although Jin Yuan was the eldest son of the Lin family, Yin Ruofei couldn't help but feel a sense of rejection towards him, especially after spending more time together, he even felt a sense of security, which made him even less inclined to say anything to Jin Yuan.

  The horse carriage rattled forward, and Yin Ruofei leaned against the carriage and fell asleep in a daze. Jin Yuan looked at Yin Ruofei's head, which was constantly bumping against the carriage due to the bumpy road, but he didn't see him wake up at all. Every time he bumped his head, he would frown, knowing that his little brother was really exhausted, and stretched out his big hand to block it.

  With the palm's buffering, Yin Ruofei slept even more sweetly, while Jin Yuan had a slight loss of smile. The slow and gentle bumps were like a small cat rubbing against his palm.

  Yin Haicheng has also been exhausted for the past two days, his face somewhat haggard. Even the current emperor couldn't help but keep him behind after the court session to ask a few questions.

  Yin Haicheng did not hide it, and told everything, which made the emperor's face stunned. "Love minister, since the old lady is so ill, didn't you invite a famous doctor to take her pulse?"

  Yin Haicheng let out a sigh and repeated what Dr. Sun had said.

  "So... " The emperor sighed, "I originally discussed with several of you and planned to let the princes in the mansion come over to let Aze choose one, but unexpectedly your household..."

  "Brother." A young man in a particularly luxurious silk brocade shirt walked in from outside the door, "Since Old Lady Yin is ill, why not let Mr. Han go take a look?"

  "Have met Ze Qīn Wáng." Yin Hai Cheng hastily gave a salute to Róng Jìng Zé. Although he didn't know who this Mr. Han was, being praised by a prince like that, he must have had extraordinary abilities. Especially thinking of past events, his heart skipped a beat. Moreover, with his mother's current illness, everyone else was at a loss for what to do, and he had no room for choice either.

  "What's wrong with you, kid? Where have you been running off to this whole time?" The emperor's face sank. "Those sons of the royal families and nobles all arrived this morning, but you're nowhere to be found!"

  "Alright, brother." Rong Jing Ze raised his head, his handsome and charming face full of lazy expressions, as he sat down on the stool beside him with a nonchalant attitude. "Why do you need so many attendants? Can't I handle it myself?"

  "What's so good about it!" The emperor glared, "Haven't you caused enough trouble? Who drew the ink for the lion at Prime Minister's gate? Whose idea was it to let General Zhenyuan's horse run loose? And what's more, you actually went to drink flower wine with me, trying to get me killed!"

  "Big brother, you've already made those few good brothers of mine reflect on their mistakes, isn't that enough?" Rong Jingze yawned, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

  "Hmph, what brothers! I thought you'd be studying and practicing martial arts together, but instead you're colluding with each other!" The emperor waved his hand, "Forget about them, the princes of the Yin House are around your age, go take a look. If you find someone with a compatible temperament, it's better to choose one of them over those people."

  "Hmph." Rong Jingze let out a disgruntled hum, "This is the last time, next time I'm not going to bother with any of this accompaniment nonsense."

  "Alright, just this once!" The emperor smiled helplessly, his face full of doting affection.

  Yin Haicheng was extremely embarrassed, the emperor and King Wang's brothers were arguing, he could say nothing, had to lower his head, pretending not to see. However, in his heart, he was also extremely shocked and fearful, Ze Qīn Wáng's favoritism was obvious to all, but looking at today's meaning, this favoritism still exceeded his imagination. After the brothers negotiated, Yin Haicheng felt that his neck was about to stiffen.

  "Your humble servant obeys and thanks for the grace." Yin Haicheng retreated after kowtowing, taking with him the finely dressed young master and another ordinary-looking man.

  The king arrived, and the atmosphere was naturally different. From the inner gate to the outer gate, dozens of guards stood solemnly waiting. Yin Haicheng followed half a step behind, walking with Rong Jingze, and invited him to the main hall.

  According to Yin Haicheng's intention, just coax this old man well, feed him well and send him away smoothly. As for whether the old lady's illness can be cured or not, Yin Haicheng really didn't have much expectation.

  This old man is deeply favored by His Majesty today, and it's not just because he's young.

  In the year when the previous emperor passed away, His Majesty the Emperor had just ascended to the throne. Empress Liu colluded with the external relatives and supported her own son to usurp the throne, causing internal chaos.

  The Empress Dowager, the former Queen, also fought hard to help her son keep his throne. After several years of struggle, the current Emperor finally won the victory, put down the rebellion and stabilized the imperial court. Yin Haicheng was trusted by the Emperor precisely because he was also a meritorious official who had helped to quell the rebellion back then.

  Rong Jingze, who was only a few years old, was poisoned by Liu Taifei, who was desperate and wanted to die together.

  The emperor was heartbroken and his own children were taken to their maternal grandparents' home by the empress, but he neglected this younger brother of the same mother. The empress dowager was even more self-reproachful and fell seriously ill.

  What happened afterwards, Yin Haicheng wasn't very clear about. He vaguely heard that a superior had taken the young master away and saved his life. However, even so, Rong Jingze didn't return until several years later.

  Many people have seen Zehou Wang always looking sleepy and suspected that it was the result of the poison not being completely eliminated from his body.

  Not only that, but Prince Ze's body was not in good health, and he couldn't practice martial arts to strengthen his physique. When going out, it was either a carriage or a sedan chair, and he had never ridden a horse like his peers. The current emperor was even more doting on him, almost to the point of spoiling him, and bestowed upon him twenty-eight personal guards, each one being a hidden master, all for his safety.

  Yin Haicheng also asked about Mr. Han's identity on the way and found out that it was not Han, but Han.

  This surname is really biased, and what surprised Yin Haicheng even more was that it wasn't the great man who had saved him back then.

  This made Yin Haicheng somewhat disappointed, but he was deep in thought and didn't show it.

  However, Yin Haicheng's suggestion did not get the approval of this Prince Ze. He lazily glanced at Yin Haicheng and said, "Why bother with such trouble? Let Mr. Han go see Old Madam, I'll just meet the young masters of your esteemed household."

  "All right, all right. I'll go and make arrangements." Yin Haicheng bowed and came out, instructing people to invite the few young masters, and also arranging for someone to buy fresh ingredients and prepare a banquet.

  Not to mention Mr. Han being led by someone to Fushou Temple to see the old lady, nor does it mention Prince Ze leaning on a chair, lazily looking at the brightly dressed and joyful faces of the Hou Mansion princes in front of him, but only to say that at this moment, Yin Ruofei had already woken up.

  Yin Ruofei's eyes were filled with tears, and he rubbed his head with his hand. Yin Jinyuan gave a apologetic glance to his younger brother, then lifted the curtain of the horse carriage and flew out, at the same time drawing his long sword from its scabbard, making a sword flower before stabbing it out.

  Yin Ruofei was sleeping soundly, and although he didn't know that his head was resting on his older brother's palm, he felt warm and cozy. However, this comfort didn't last long, as a loud cry came from the front, and the horse carriage suddenly stopped.

  Yin Jinyuan, a martial artist, had keen senses and instinctively withdrew his hand, while Yin Ruofei's head was violently shaken due to the sudden stop of the carriage and heavily knocked against the carriage wall.

  "Sure enough, something's happened." Yin Ruofei's mouth curved into a cold smile.

  Author has something to say: Alert, alert, Xiao Gong is out and there's a blue warning!!!!!!!!!!

  Here's a declaration: the text mentions that Xiao Gong's body is not good and he can't practice martial arts, but in the previous chapter, Hou Ye received news that Xiao Gong's martial arts skills are very high. This isn't a bug, as for why Xiao Gong wants to spread this kind of doubt, you'll understand when you read on. So please note that readers who notice this point shouldn't find it strange, this is a palace struggle novel, many things aren't what they seem, just the result.

  This is added because some readers are impatient and eager to know what's going on. Additionally, there are some strange individuals who think they've caught a loophole and frantically give negative scores without even logging in.

  In fact, the author is not so clever, but not as low in IQ either. Many readers don't understand and directly ask about it.

  But those who don't log in and repeatedly change names to give negative scores, I really want to ask, don't you know that IP addresses are unchangeable? Although the editor also said it's not good to accuse other editors of how their authors behave. I personally don't plan on paying attention to you guys either. But this behavior is truly boring, just focus on writing your own articles.
