Chapter 294 The open and secret struggle between the princes of Dongyi
"Bang!"
Emperor Dongyi picked up a few volumes of memorials and threw them towards Dongfang Chenze. Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far, and only one of them flew past his temples, while the others were scattered on the ground.
"You! You!"
The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He pointed at Dongfang Chenze and was speechless. What did he know? Could it be that the queen knew?
The whole court was silent, and the courtiers were holding their breath and concentrating. Is the eldest prince crazy? He actually questioned the bloodline of the prince?
The other three adult princes who participated in politics saw that the emperor was so angry that they couldn't help but stand up and accuse the eldest prince.
"Brother Emperor, what are you talking about?"
"Brother, the prince is the king and we are ministers. How can you offend the superior?"
"Brother, please make amends to your father."
Just when the princes were trying their best to show off and the courtiers were all silent, Emperor Dongyi rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Father! Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
There was chaos in the court.
"Mr. Xuan! Hurry, Doctor Xuan, and help my father to the dormitory to rest."
The courtiers looked at each other in shock when they saw that the emperor and several princes were no longer in the court hall.
I don't understand why there is such a sudden turmoil. It seems that the eldest prince intends to compete for the position of heir apparent.
However, he questioned why the prince Dongfang Muze was not of royal blood.
Could it be related to the stories that are being told everywhere now? After the court is over, you have to go back and think about it carefully and ask the old officials privately.
Whether you want to support the prince or the eldest prince, you have to figure it out before making a decision. At this time, if you support the wrong person, you will lose your head.
In Emperor Dongyi's palace, the three princes worked together to block the eldest prince from entering.
"Brother, my father is so angry with you, why don't you back down?"
"What if my father wakes up and sees the eldest brother and faints due to stimulation? It's better for the eldest brother to go back first. We will take care of you here."
"Brother, if you still have some filial piety towards your father, don't be angry with your father at this time."
Dongfang Chenze clenched his fists. How did he know that his father was so careless? If he had known, he would have endured it a little longer. It was really abominable to let these people take advantage of the loophole.
His heart changed, and he knelt down outside the emperor's palace. When the princes saw that he no longer insisted on staying with the emperor, they knelt down with him.
My father doesn’t know how long it will take to wake up, let’s see if the eldest brother’s knees are strong enough.
Dongfang Chenze was kneeling when he felt a shadow around him. He looked up and saw that it was the sixth prince holding an umbrella for him.
He snorted disdainfully, did you think you could please him this way?
"What are you doing here? You are not needed here."
The Sixth Prince still looked unfazed, and his voice did not fluctuate at all.
"Brother Emperor, it's almost noon and the sun is shining brightly. Don't kneel down and break your body."
Dongfang Chenze raised his head and glanced at the Sixth Prince. He was kneeling, but the boy was standing, and he felt even more unhappy.
"Hmph, how can you be so kind? Save your kindness for taking care of your half-dead mother-in-law."
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Huize, who had always been as plain as water, sighed softly.
Dongfang Chenze frowned and looked at Dongfang Huize with an unkind look.
"Why are you sighing?"
To his ears, this sigh seemed to sympathize with him, but why did Dongfang Huize sympathize with him?
He has the support of the Crown Prince of Yunxiao Kingdom, and will soon rule the world, but Dongfang Huize has nothing but a burdensome mother-in-law. If he wants to sympathize, he should be damned if he sympathizes with Dongfang Huize.
The Sixth Prince took two steps back to let out the scorching sun. Dongfang Chenze, who was suddenly dazzled, used his hand to block the sun.
He said softly:
"Summer insects cannot speak of ice. Brother, please take care of yourself."
This voice is more like talking to oneself.
The sixth prince placed the umbrella on the ground. If Dongfang Chenze wanted to take it, he could reach out and get it.
In the eyes of others, this scene showed that the sixth prince was thinking of the eldest prince and refused to hold an umbrella for him, but went to persuade him. As a result, the eldest prince did not appreciate it and instead gave the sixth prince a shame.
Dongfang Chenze heard the words of the sixth prince clearly. What does it mean that summer insects cannot speak of ice? Was that boy just despising him and provoking him?
"Hehehe."
When Fang Chenze laughed angrily, Xiao Liu, who had never dared to speak loudly, had lost his temper today? If it hadn't been for the wrong occasion, he would have let Dongfang Huize know that the down-and-out prince was nothing more than a slave.
.
The sixth prince ignored him and walked straight to the door of the emperor's palace.
"Eunuch, please pass the message for me. I want to see my father."
The father-in-law who communicated was in a bit of a dilemma. The three princes were inside and the emperor had not yet awakened. How could he give the sixth prince a chance?
But looking at the sixth prince's somewhat thin body, he still went in, but he came out again not long after.
"Sixth Prince, the imperial doctor is treating the Emperor. Why don't you go back first, and when the Emperor wakes up, I will send someone to report to you?"
"No need, I'll just wait here for my father to wake up."
Seeing that the sixth prince refused to leave, the eunuch could only let him stand at the door. However, the sixth prince had not made any mistakes and was weak, so there was no need to endure the scorching sun like the eldest prince.
The eunuch winked at the little eunuch, who immediately went to get an umbrella and held it for Dongfang Huize.
"Thank you."
"I don't dare."
The sixth prince's thank you made the little eunuch feel refreshed and willing to hold up an umbrella.
Half an hour later, Emperor Dongyi finally woke up. Eunuch Gao, the great eunuch, quickly helped the emperor get up and drink the decoction.
The three princes also stepped forward nervously.
"Father, how do you feel?"
"Father, please don't be angry with the eldest brother. He also had a quick talk, so he must not have bad intentions."
"Yes, father, how could there be any problem with the prince's life experience? The eldest brother must have misunderstood something."
Emperor Dongyi felt his head buzzing. These three sons seemed to be comforting him, excusing the eldest prince, and defending the prince. In fact, every word was rekindling his anger just now.
After all, he has been sitting on the throne for so many years, and he is still a bit naive when it comes to being clever in front of him.
"Everyone get out!"
"Father, let's serve you the soup and medicine before leaving."
Emperor Dongyi didn't want to see his son pretending to be a father and son in front of him. He waved his hands irritably.
The three princes had no choice but to retreat angrily. When they came out, they saw Dongfang Huize.
"What are you doing here?"
Dongfang Huize heard the same words and felt calm.
"Greetings to the three royal brothers. I heard that my father is ill and I want to come and see him."
"You are really filial."
"My father drank the decoction and is resting. Please don't disturb my father here."
"Have you finished copying the book that the emperor asked you to copy?"
Each sentence was more sinister than the other, and Dongfang Huize only bowed his head slightly.
"Let the royal brothers worry about it."
"What are they shouting about outside?"
The emperor in the palace heard the commotion and impatiently asked Eunuch Gao beside him.
