Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 32: Fever



Wu Yi was very serious, and was very excited.

After being “entrusted with an important task”, Wu Yi carried out Emperor Jingwen’s orders even more meticulously.

Then his voice became even more hoarse.

Although the training as a secret guard meant that Ye Shuo could not see too many emotional fluctuations on his face, but from his increasing seriousness and the increasingly tight schedule of courses, it can be seen that his stepfather must have told him something.

Needless to say, they basically asked him to keep a close eye on himself.

Wu Yi is a very obedient man, and also a very honest person, he will do whatever his stepfather asks him to do.

But what Wu Yi didn’t know was that the biggest flaw in this matter had already bean himself. As for the fact that Ye Shuo needed to “learn” several new words every day, it really became a trivial matter.

Using something that you are familiar with by heart to exchange for his labor is really like bullying an honest man.

Perhaps it was the secret guard’s behavior that finally aroused Ye Shuo’s few feelings of guilt. Even for a man like Ye Shuo, his conscience began to ache.

It was really embarrassing to bully him anymore, this guy was quite pitiful. Ye Shuo thought about it, then reluctantly reduced the number of times he listened to the story.

Wu Yi’s voice gradually got better.

This is probably the real situation, but it is not the case in the eyes of others.

The first one is the imperial concubine. At first, she was very happy to see her son studying. She hopes her son will become successful. Every mother has this idea and no one is immune to it.

But gradually, she found that her son was becoming less and less happy (thinking about practicing martial arts), and he seldom smiled recently (he learned internal skills but did not have the corresponding moves, and was thinking about whether to “transfer” some from Wu Yi, but was afraid that the moves learned by the secret guard would be too obvious to be discovered). The most important thing was that, except for sleeping, Wu Yi had to follow him all the time even when he was eating. If it were her, she would have been unable to bear it a long time ago. How could such a young child bear it?

Just thinking about it made the imperial concubine feel extremely painful.

“Mammy, do you think I am too harsh on Shuo’er? Isn’t this bad?” If she didn’t want her son to sit in that position, he wouldn’t have to do so.

Relying on his status and family background, even if the little thing can’t read a single word in the end, he can still ensure that he will have no worries in his life.

The child who used to be happy no matter what he did now doesn’t even smile. The more familiar people are with him, the easier it is for them to notice the difference.

This day, Concubine Rong could no longer hold it in. She sat in front of the dressing table and couldn’t help showing a look of panic.

The nanny’s hand holding the comb paused. How could the nanny not feel distressed when the little prince was treated like this?

But……

“But this is the fate of royal children, Your Majesty…” Emperor Jingwen was a man of great strategy and wisdom, so how could he tolerate his own children being mediocre and incompetent?

Even so, Concubine Rong still felt distressed: “But Mammy, Shuo’er hasn’t smiled recently.”

Concubine Rong counted them one by one: “No more quarrels about playing mahjong.”

“I don’t make clay figures anymore.”

You know, these two are his favorite things!

Concubine Rong couldn’t help but look at the clay figurines placed on one side of the dressing table. Although Concubine Rong always disliked mud because it was black and dirty, when Ye Shuo gave her his work, Concubine Rong actually didn’t refuse.

While scolding him, the imperial concubine held her handkerchief and placed the clay figurine on her dressing table.

The more she looked at it, the more the imperial concubine felt that the clay figurine seemed quite good.

Although it was the work of a child, if you look closely, it is still very delicate.

Three points of charm plus the fact that his son made it himself, the final product becomes nine points.

The imperial concubine couldn’t help but raise her hand and gently touched the clay figure’s face.

The nanny beside her couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable after hearing this.

However, what happened next made the two of them even more worried.

Ye Shuo started to lose weight.

At first Ye Shuo himself didn’t understand what was going on. He just felt that the clothes that fit him perfectly started to become loose, the baby fat on his face also shrunk a lot, and the lines of his jawline gradually became clearer.

And he hasn’t done anything recently, and his appetite hasn’t decreased. Considering that all this happened after he gained internal strength, Ye Shuo vaguely understood what was going on.

Combined with Wu Yi, Wu Yi also has a great figure. In his previous life, he would have been a standard hunk, which made Ye Shuo yearn for him for a while.

Although he had a good figure in his previous life, it was after all the result of training in the gym. It was only for show but had no real use.

Wu Yi’s inverted triangle figure is real gold and silver.

Ye Shuo had never thought that practicing martial arts could have such an effect. It seemed that he wouldn’t have to worry about such things when he grew up.

Ye Shuo also felt that he was too cute in the past, he ate well and used food well, his figure was a little rounder than that of other children, and now that he has lost weight, it is just right.

Ye Shuo was quite satisfied with this.

However, Concubine Rong, who was watching on the side, felt heartbroken.

After all, she is a mother, so of course she thinks her child is healthier if he is chubby. Although he looks better now that he has lost weight, good looks cannot be eaten.

Look at this little face, it’s so skinny, and the bones are starting to hurt!

“Mom, I’m fine, really.” Feeling a little frightened by his mother’s pitying and annoyed gaze, Ye Shuo moved the embroidery cushion next to him as if to prove that his health had not deteriorated but was much stronger than before.

The embroidered cushion was not much shorter than him, and Ye Shuo could not have moved it before, but now he could easily lift it off the ground.

“Look, Mom, I am very powerful now.”

But it was useless, Concubine Rong had already determined that it was Wu Yi’s problem.

She cannot resist the emperor’s orders, but don’t expect her to accept them willingly.

Now, in her eyes, Wu Yi is the culprit who abused her son. While holding her son in her arms, Concubine Rong looked at Wu Yi with resentment in her eyes.

Wu Yi stood still like a mountain, not thinking that he had done anything wrong. He was just following the orders given by the emperor.

Ye Shuo: “…”

Mom, it’s really not what you imagined, mom!

Later, Zhao Chongrong and others also discovered this matter.

“Look at how thin his face is…” How could a two-year-old child bear so much? The emperor was being too harsh.

Zhao Chongrong’s expression looked as if he was about to rush up and punch Wu Yi once or twice.

“I’m fine, Concubine Zhao. Look, I’m fine.” Ye Shuo finally told the truth, but no one believed him at all.

Zhao Chongrong and the other two looked at him with more and more distressed eyes: “We know, we all know.” No one knew what they knew.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo’s heart tightened.

Oops, I seem to have over-pretended in the past. I wonder if it’s too late to make amends now.

Facing the accusing gazes of the three people, Wu Yi was silent for a moment this time, still unmoved.

The next was the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince heard that Emperor Jingwen had sent out the secret guards, he was a little concerned. But then he found out that Emperor Jingwen nominally asked him to follow, but in fact he was monitoring him. The Crown Prince felt a little sympathetic to his younger brother.

Although the prince had never seen the true appearance of the secret guards, he knew that they were known for their harshness.

(T/L: Ok guys, my keyboard is not working, so I can’t edit and translate much. So let’s hope for my keyboard to be repaired soon.)

After finally pacifying the ladies, Ye Shuo was just about to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Because Wu Yi was with him, Ye Shuo was very brave this time. He walked around the ponds, wells, and rockery. He also memorized the route map of the entire palace to avoid being at a loss when he needed it later.

As luck would have it, he ran into the prince who had just returned from the Qinzheng Palace.

Ye Shuo was about to say hello, but he remembered that his step-father’s one-year ban from approaching the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince had not yet ended, and he suddenly became listless.

Looking at Wu Yi who was following closely behind his younger brother, the prince always felt that his younger brother was like a puppet at the moment. He just smiled, but then he thought of something and his face was full of disappointment. The prince frowned subconsciously.

How come such a good child has become like this?

After all, the prince felt a little different about this child whom he had held in his arms.

So the prince stopped and said, “Shuo’er, it happens that I got a little toy recently. Do you want to go with me to take a look?”

What were he looking at? He couldn’t enter the East Palace. Thinking back to the musician and the maid who had rubbed his ears before, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but feel a pain in his heart.

As expected of someone from the Prince’s Palace, he is so professional, not much worse than a professional ear cleaner.

But now, all of this has become a thing of the past.

Ye Shuo suddenly became somewhat uninterested and waved his hands feebly: “No need, no need.”

The prince couldn’t help but frown even deeper. Since his little brother was unwilling to go, the prince would not force him.

Just when Wu Yi passed by, he said indifferently: “Although it is the order of the emperor, you must know the ultimate goal. Don’t put the cart before the horse.”

Ye Shuo looked up suddenly.

Wait, what does this have to do with Wu Yi?

The prince will not…

However, before Ye Shuo could speak, the prince left.

This time, Wu Yi finally couldn’t control himself and his eyes changed slightly.

He could ignore what others said, but the prince was the heir to the throne, and was a little different from others.

But in the end, after a slight fluctuation, Wu Yi remained the same.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, as long as he doesn’t take it to heart…

Finally, it was the Sixth Prince. Even though he was oblivious to what was happening outside, he couldn’t help but speak up a few days later: “You’ve lost weight.”

As long as he was away from the nanny and the imperial concubine, Ye Shuo’s self-care ability would soar. He peeled an orange and put it in his mouth, saying, “It has become more beautiful.”

The Sixth Prince frowned and disagreed: “Being too thin is not good for your health.”

The Sixth Prince had a deep understanding of this. He was like this when he was a child. He had no memory of being abused by his wet nurse at that time, so as long as he could remember, the Sixth Prince often drank medicine, and all his memories were of bitter medicinal soups.

Later, when he could speak and remember things, things got better, so in his eyes, being thin was associated with poor health.

Hearing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but touch his face.

It doesn’t seem to have gotten much smaller, just the jawbone is a little more obvious. Why does it become so serious in their eyes?

Ye Shuo looked at the wrist of the child opposite him, then looked at his own wrist, and could not help but remain silent.

How dare the Sixth Prince talk about him when his wrist, a child less than three years old, is almost thicker than his.

His own arms were white and plump, like lotus roots, while the Sixth Prince was almost skin and bones. It was obvious which one had the real problem.

Ye Shuo originally wanted to prove himself so that they wouldn’t treat him as a glass doll.

As a result, a few days later, Ye Shuo, who was listening to a book, suddenly felt something was wrong. His cheeks felt hot, and the temperature was a little high.

However, because he had always been in good health, he didn’t take it seriously during the day and even ate one more goose leg for dinner than usual.

At night, around three o’clock in the morning, Ye Shuo woke up for the first time and found that his throat was very dry, thirsty, and a little hoarse.

This symptom seems familiar…

Belatedly, he reached out and touched his head.

Well, it’s a little hot.

It looks like he has a fever.

It’s over. This time, Wu Yi can’t wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
