Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 242: Afterimage

A whole month of house arrest!

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating all on the same bed, one can imagine what kind of life the eldest prince leads. He is not like a human being at all, but a pig or dog kept in a cage, with no dignity at all. And the young man in front of him is the culprit of all this.

The eldest prince’s expression was completely out of control and he laughed hideously.

“Stop, stop right there!”

There was no way Ye Shuo would listen to him, he ran faster than a rabbit.

“If you don’t want to stop, then don’t stop. If you have the guts, come and chase me.”

The eldest prince was almost pissed to death by him.

However, Ye Shuo did what he said and did not give in to his adopted elder brother at all just because he was a disabled person. He even wandered around ten feet away from the eldest prince when he was gasping for breath.

The eldest prince’s broken right leg subconsciously scratched in the air and tried to push off the ground. After he came to his senses, his face turned ashen.

Seeing that the time was almost up, especially since the eldest prince was almost out of breath, Ye Shuo ignored everything and patted his butt to leave, as if he was just about to leave after admiring the miserable state of the eldest prince.

“Big brother, you should take good care of your injuries. I will go to the palace first.”

After saying this, Ye Shuo left leisurely.

Staring at his back, the eldest prince swore that sooner or later he would pin him to the ground and beat him.

He really couldn’t die for the time being, with so many eyes watching him. His princess even ordered all the sharp weapons in the mansion to be hidden. The only way for the eldest prince to take revenge was to eat hard, exercise hard, and return to normal.

Absolutely, absolutely not let him laugh at himself again!

When I return to my former self, I will see who in this mansion dares to ride on my head and shit!

On the other side.

After Ye Shuo left Prince Ding’s Mansion, he saw Yao Zhi with her arms folded and looking at him.

For a moment, Yao Zhi couldn’t even figure out whether he wanted the eldest prince to get better or was simply teasing him, because the smile on his face was too real.

It would be strange if the eldest prince could understand something that even Yao Zhi couldn’t see.

Yao Zhi thought about it carefully and felt that he had good intentions at first, but later on, as the eldest prince’s injuries healed day by day, this kindness gradually changed…

After Ye Shuo entered the palace, he told this matter to his stepfather. After all, the eldest prince was his stepfather’s son, and he should be relieved that the eldest prince could recover his vitality.

After learning that the eldest prince was now able to get out of bed, Emperor Jingwen was indeed relieved, but then he felt as if something was wrong.

It seems that I don’t like to drink herbal medicine these days…

Two months had passed since the high fever. Every day, Emperor Jingwen took more medicine than he ate food. As time went on, it was inevitable that Emperor Jingwen felt annoyed.

He kept taking medicine but his body didn’t get better. Now he was just relying on these medicines to hang on to his life. Emperor Jingwen was naturally negative. Now that he heard about the plight of the eldest prince, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but think, would the youngest son treat him like this?

Thinking about it, it seems that this is really possible.

He had done so many outrageous things that even his status as an emperor might not be enough to subdue him. The most important thing was that Emperor Jingwen was reluctant to punish him for such a reason, and given his youngest son’s arrogant nature, it should not be difficult for him to see that.

Just when Emperor Jingwen was thinking about something, he saw Ye Shuo just happened to take the bowl of medicine handed to him by the imperial physician.

“Come on, Dad, it’s time to take the medicine.”

Emperor Jingwen thought about it and decided not to go against him today. He simply drank the bowl of medicine in front of him.

Huh? Why is my cheap dad so obedient today?

Ye Shuo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and found it a little funny.

Emperor Jingwen is now very tired and spends half a day sleeping. In the remaining time, Ye Shuo basically has to take out half an hour every day to accompany him for a walk, and then have lunch with him, his mother and Jian Jian, and that’s it.

In the afternoon, Ye Shuo returned to his mansion in a carriage.

Thinking about how awkward the eldest prince looked this morning leaning on a cane, and that he had nothing to do all day, Ye Shuo thought about it and then casually drew a pair of crutches.

The craftsmen in the Eldest Prince’s Palace made a so-called walking stick, but it was actually a cane used by the elderly. It did not have much support, and could hardly support the eldest Prince, who had lost half a leg, in walking. It was far less convenient than an armpit crutch.

After finishing the drawing, Ye Shuo asked people to get wood and tools. He was very excited and ready to show his skills.

When seeing this scene, Yao Zhi felt that it looked familiar for some reason.

I remember that he was so confident before and wanted to make the best hairpin in the world for himself, but the result was…

“Oh shit, it’s broken!”

Fortunately, Ye Shuo did not use any precious wood, but just ordinary willow, pine, elm and the like, so he would not feel bad even if he failed.

In the yard, Yao Zhi was practising swordplay, while Ye Shuo was planing wood. After about half an hour, Yao Zhi couldn’t stand it any longer, so she put down her sword, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and said, “That’s not how it should be done. It should be like this, like this, and like this.”

Yao Zhi’s fourth master was best at carpentry, so she learned a lot from him. Making furniture was no problem for her, let alone a pair of crutches.??

So, under Yao Zhi’s guidance, Ye Shuo created… What is this thing? ? ?

Ye Shuo tried it under his armpit, and then said: “Although it is a bit ugly, it is not useless. Let’s leave it like this.”

Ye Shuo lost interest and his hands were a little tired, so he was too lazy to do it. Even the final application of tung oil was done by Xiao Luzi.

Yao Zhi, who was standing by, couldn’t imagine what it would be like to give this thing to the eldest prince.

This crutch is really too ugly, it’s hard to show it off…

“…How about I make another one for you?” As a member of the palace, Yao Zhi felt a little embarrassed.

Ye Shuo didn’t care: “I made this myself, it’s good enough to have it, what else can big brother be dissatisfied with?”

Yao Zhi opened her mouth, thinking that her husband was a little too confident…

The next morning, Ye Shuo came again with his gift.

Princess Ding and Ye Yan were now full of gratitude towards Ye Shuo. They didn’t care what he gave them as a gift and started praising him nonsensically.

The eldest prince who was eating at the side frowned and asked suddenly: “What is this?”

“Give it to you!” Ye Shuo took it in front of his cheap brother.

“It’s specially given to you. Do you like it?”

You want to give this thing to me? Can you call this a walking stick? The tree branches that beggars on the street are smoother than this thing!

The eldest prince was about to sneer, but he saw that his princess had already frowned, with a threatening look in her eyes.

“…”

After a moment of silence and weighing the pros and cons in his mind, the eldest prince swallowed back the sarcastic words that were about to come out of his mouth. With a stiff face, he almost forced himself to praise: “Thank you, Xiaojiu, I… like you very much…”

“As long as you like it, remember to use it.”

Ye Shuo put the crutches aside, and then he realised that the eldest prince was actually eating. Although it was just some porridge and side dishes, he was slowly returning to a normal diet.

“Ah… I thought you could hold on for a few more days.” Especially seeing the cheap brother tied to the bed, helpless and furious, it was estimated that he would not be able to see it anymore.

Glancing at the disappointment in his brother’s eyes, the eldest prince’s eyelids started twitching suddenly. He didn’t say anything, but he wielded his chopsticks more and more skillfully.

But speaking of which, he is so close now, it seems like an opportunity…

The eldest prince acted as fast as lightning and grabbed forward without hesitation.

However, what he didn’t expect was that Ye Shuo, who seemed relaxed, jumped three feet high like a rabbit.

Although Ye Shuo seemed careless, he had actually been on guard against this trick for a long time. How could he succeed so easily?

“Brother, brother, you can’t do this. You need to practise more.”

Ye Shuo had a sighing look on his face, which made the eldest prince very angry. However, this was not enough. Before leaving, Ye Shuo snatched away several buns in front of the eldest prince and patted him on the shoulder in a particularly provocative manner.

“Brother, keep working hard!”

The eldest prince almost broke his chopsticks as he watched the young man leave.

It’s so infuriating. It’s really so infuriating!

When his back disappeared, the eldest prince’s gaze inevitably fell on the armpit crutches beside him.

This thing has a strange shape and is made very crudely. I have never seen it before and have no idea how to use it.

The eldest prince fiddled with it for a long time and finally got the hang of it. Then he found that although this thing was a bit ugly, it seemed to be much more useful than the crutches made by the craftsmen in the palace.

My younger brother really underestimates me. He actually dares to take out such a thing. He really doesn’t take me seriously.

The eldest prince was holding back his anger. No matter what, he had to catch him, otherwise he would not be able to rest in peace even after his death!

The eldest prince remained silent. When Ye Shuo was not around, he used two crutches to walk around the yard. Even though calluses appeared on his armpits and hands, he was unwilling to stop.

But when Ye Shuo appeared, the eldest prince acted as if nothing had happened, and even pretended to be weak occasionally. He was waiting for the day when Ye Shuo completely let down his guard. The eldest prince swore that he would make him taste the feeling of being tied to the bed and having his mouth pried open to be fed!

As the days passed, the eldest prince’s arms became stronger and stronger, and he swung his armpit crutches so fast that soon even his afterimages could be seen.

Everything was originally developing in a good direction. While Ye Yan and his brothers breathed a sigh of relief, they were especially grateful to Ye Shuo.

Until one day, Ye Yan saw his father’s deputy general walking out from the back door of his uncle’s palace…
