Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 552: Unwilling to be the Crown Prince
The emperor has been very upset recently because his ministers have written letters and spoken in the court to oppose his enthronement of Shen Siyan as the crown prince.
The atmosphere in the court became tense, everyone held their own opinions and refused to compromise.
After a few days, the emperor looked visibly more haggard, and even a few strands of his hair turned white.
After retiring from court, he went to his study alone to deal with those almost identical letters of opposition.
Finally, his patience reached its limit, and he threw the memorial in his hand to the ground in anger: "Doesn't this mean that I have to compromise? As the ruler of a country, can't I even make my own decisions?"
The roar was full of anger and powerlessness, but he soon became quiet and sat in a chair, gasping for breath.
"emperor!"
Eunuch Fu Zhong hurried forward, gently patted the emperor's back, and handed him a cup of soothing tea:
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry anymore. If you feel aggrieved, just beat me to vent your anger! Don't let yourself suffer!"
Seeing the concern and tears in the eunuch's eyes, the emperor's heart gradually calmed down. How could he blame Fu Zhong who had always been with him and supported him unconditionally?
"Fu Zhong, they treat me like this, it seems that they will only be satisfied if I die."
"Your Majesty, you should not say that. You will live forever!" Fu Zhong responded anxiously.
At this time, a report came from outside the door: "Shen Siyan wants to see you."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately ordered him to come in, with a look of anticipation and anxiety on his face.
On the one hand, he was eager to see Si Yan, who rarely came to the palace to seek an audience; on the other hand, he was worried that the failure to confirm Si Yan's status in these days would disappoint his son.
When Shen Siyan walked in to pay his respects, the emperor's eyes were fixed on him. Looking at this child who looked somewhat like his deceased mother, his heart was filled with emotion, but he was speechless for a moment.
Finally, he said softly: "Si Yan, don't worry, I will definitely restore your rightful status."
There was a deep meaning in Shen Siyan's eyes, but he just pursed his lips slightly when facing the emperor.
"Father." Although the address was brief, it made the emperor feel excited. However, the next words were like cold water that extinguished this enthusiasm.
"Father, I don't want to be the eldest prince anymore." Shen Siyan said softly.
The emperor was stunned, his expression changed from surprise to heavy: "What did you say?"
"Father, don't worry about this. I have never longed for the status of the eldest prince, nor have I ever yearned for supreme power."
Shen Siyan's tone was calm and firm, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
"How can this be! You are my eldest son and you should inherit the throne!" The emperor's voice was a little flustered, as if he had lost his direction.
"However, if I continue to hold this position, it may cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court, and may even cause unrest. Father, don't worry. I only want to see peace in my country and happiness in the people's work."
Seeing his son so calm, the emperor felt both relieved and guilty. As the emperor, he could not fully control his son's fate.
"Si Yan, I will never let you suffer any injustice." The emperor said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with a father's promise to his son.
……
Ye Yunzi and Tao Qiming were carefully taking care of the herbs in the garden. Their hands were covered with mud, but there was an indescribable harmony between them.
Tao Qiming found that Ye Yunzi's method of handling herbs was skillful and professional, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"Miss Ye, let me deal with these poisonous weeds." Tao Qiming said with concern when he saw Ye Yunzi was about to touch those dangerous plants.
"It's okay, I know how to treat it with care." Ye Yunzi responded calmly. She was well-versed in herbs and even poisonous plants could not stump her.
Tao Qiming gave a warm smile and thought how nice it would be if he could work with Miss Ye every day.
"With you around, even boring work becomes interesting."
"Dr. Tao has helped me a lot, and I want to repay you. These herbs are very valuable and require special care, so I hope to do my part," Ye Yunzi explained.
"No, no, Miss Ye's help is what I have been looking for!" Tao Qiming responded quickly, his heart full of gratitude towards Ye Yunzi.
When Ye Yunzi asked Ji Xinying whether she came over often, Tao Qiming's expression suddenly became a little stiff.
"She doesn't come here often."
Ye Yunzi keenly captured Tao Qiming's changes, but she just nodded slightly, as if she understood something.
"I see. I thought she came to see you for a medical consultation."
Tao Qiming was silent for a while, and finally chose to avoid the topic, but sighed secretly in his heart.
Ye Yunzi was worried about the innocent little girl, fearing that she might get into trouble.
Seeing her worried look, Tao Qiming quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, Ji Xinying is fine, and now she is no different from an ordinary person."
"Then why..."
"She said she wanted to repay me."
Tao Qiming shook his head helplessly. He felt a headache whenever he mentioned Ji Xinying. He pointed at the listless herbs in the corner and said, "Look, is this a way to repay a favor? It's just to cause trouble!"
It turned out that Ji Xinying did not understand the growth habits of medicinal herbs, and when she volunteered to help water them, she ended up soaking the plants that needed a dry environment.
Tao Qiming spent several days trying to revive the herbs, but they still looked a little lethargic.
Every time Ji Xinying came to visit, she would cause a lot of problems, but she was always full of enthusiasm and Tao Qiming could not drive her away.
Thinking of this, he felt a splitting headache, felt sorry for his medicinal fields, and even felt uncomfortable all over. He just hoped that Ji Xinying would not come again so that he could have a moment of peace.
Ye Yunzi chuckled and said with a smile in her eyes: "Miss Ji is kind-hearted, but she is not very good at doing things. If she wants to touch the medicinal field again in the future, don't let her do it."
"Hmph, who can stop her?" Tao Qiming complained, hoping that Ji Xinying would not cause trouble again.
Ye Yunzi shook her head gently and said no more.
Tao Qiming lowered his head and continued to work, his dissatisfaction with Ji Xinying gradually dissipated. After a while, he looked up and asked, "Miss Ye, will Brother Shen come back?"
"Huh?" Ye Yunzi was stunned for a moment.
"Since Brother Shen entered the palace to meet the emperor, he has not come to Ningcaotang again. He..."
Before Tao Qiming finished speaking, he carefully observed Ye Yunzi's expression, but her face was calm as usual and she didn't seem to care.
"Brother Shen is now the eldest prince."
With different identities, meeting in the future may become difficult and not as casual as before.
What will happen to Ye Yunzi?
Tao Qiming's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at Ye Yunzi, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't help but think that if Brother Shen never came back, then he was willing to take on the responsibility of taking care of Miss Ye and ensuring that she was safe and sound.
Just like now, it is a wonderful thing for the two of them to take care of the medicinal field together.
