Chapter 193 â The Most Precious Thing (2)
Mo Rongyi shook his head and said in a choked voice, âNo!â
âI will make you a medicated diet to fill your stomach and relieve pain, okay?â She spoke as if coaxing a child.
âWhat if it hurts?â Mo Rongyi asked, a little peeved.
Ye Zhen thought for a moment. âIf it still hurts, then I will give you my most precious thing.â
Mo Rongyi considered for a moment in silence. âWhat is your most precious thing?â
âForty thousand silver taels.â Ye Zhen said that silver was the most precious thing for her today, âIt took me a long time to save it, and there can be no more.â
âThen, if it doesnât hurt, you must take forty thousand silver taels silvers from me!â Mo Rongyi resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Hmmph!Didshethinkthatamajesticprincelikemecanâtprovideathousandtaels?
Ye Zhen nodded in all seriousness. âThen, it is settled. Little Prince, you must not go back on your word.â
Mo Rongyi asked in exasperation, âWhen did this prince break his promise?â
âWell, I shall cook porridge for you now,â Ye Zhen said with a smile.
The mood of all those present was somewhat complicated.
HowdidtheygettosilverfrompersuadingtheLittlePrincetotakemedicine?AndwhathashappenedtotheThirdMissLu?IsthereanyonewhocouldhaggleovermoneywiththeLittlePrincelikethis?Isnâtshetooconfident?
Although this was the collective opinion, the Empress Dowager was not bothered. This little deal brought her a smile. No matter what method the girl used, it was a skill to get the Little Prince to eat.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Zhen, his eyes deep and secluded. He recalled the way she had deftly masked her fury and even dared to negotiate with him in the pavilion not long ago. At that time, he thought that she had benefited from the Little Prince. But if she wanted more, should she not come and please him instead?
HowcouldIeverunderstandthisgirl? He felt so conflicted by his discernment of her.
With that, Ye Zhen quickly curtsied before the Empress Dowager and, with her head bowed, went out of the chambers. She heaved a deep sigh.
âYour Highness, Your Majesty, I will help go help her.â
Qi Jin still had many words to ask Ye Zhen. When she saw Ye Zhen leaving the bedroom, she followed along.
The Empress Dowager went to the bedside and touched Mo Rongyiâs forehead lovingly. âDo not say that again. Aija does not like hearing those words.â
Mo Rongyiâs eyes were crimson and pale from all the crying he had just done. âMother, I do not want to either.â
âYour surname is Mo, and you should not be so cowardly.â Mo Rongzhan whispered beside him, looking at his only brother. He did not know how to educate him. He was quite helpless too.
Mo Rongyi said unconvinced, âWhat about the surname Mo? There are more cowardly people in the emperorâs family, and there are also foolish people.â
âOur ancestors once defeated the Huangfu Empire and built the present Jin country. If treacherous court officials had not tricked imperial Father, he would not have been⊠used,â Mo Rongzhan said.
âBrother, I am not you,â Mo Rongyi said in a low voice. âEven if I can survive this disaster, I will not live long. We all know that.â
The Empress Dowager held his hand tightly. âWho said that? You will live well.â Mo Rongyi smiled bitterly.
This bitterness did not match his age. How could his body be so weak like this? Imperial Physician Qi said that he could not surpass the age of fifteen. He was already ten this year; perhaps he could live but five years? It was so cruel.
Mo Rongzhan looked at him and saw his little brotherâs watery eyes. If it were not for Ye Yisong, his younger brother would not have suffered such pain now.
YeYisongdidnotdeserveaquickdeath.
âBrother, please do not embarrass Lu Yaoyao. She did not wager with me. I lied to Mother. I just wanted to summon her here,â Mo Rongyi suddenly said. He did not want to bring trouble to Lu Yaoyao even after he died.
Mo Rongzhan, who had already guessed the truth, was not surprised to hear those words. He just said lightly, âWhen did I embarrass her?â
The Empress Dowager was unaware of her older sonâs suspicious temperament. However, she helped defend Ye Zhen, âYaoyao is a good child.â
Mo Rongzhanâs thin lips slightly pursed. He did not speak again.
âMother, I do not feel any pain now,â Mo Rongyi touched his chest and said to the Empress Dowager.
âAija has permitted Yaoyao to stay in the palace. Let her take care of you for two days,â she said in a soft voice. Upon hearing Ye Zhenâs heart and seeing her concern for the Little Prince, she thought it would be a good thing to let her stay. Perhaps she could really alleviate her childâs illness.
However, at these words, Mo Rongzhan furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes seemed confused about what was going on.
