She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 282: Must You Marry the One Who Saved You from Drowning? (53)
After asking everything he wanted to know, Shen Hui said, "Take her away first."
Yun Tong wanted to say something, but her mouth was covered and she was taken away.
Shen Hui certainly wouldn’t mind the matter of his little brother becoming emperor. If his brother wanted to be the emperor, once he had full control, it wouldn’t be impossible. But his brother doesn’t love these things, so in this life, he will protect his little brother.
In the past life, the other party was too tired.
For the sake of life, for the sake of healing him, he suppressed his true nature.
"Imperial Brother, how should we handle this matter?" Shen Xi asked, "Actually, regarding Guangmao Mountain, it seems somewhat different."
"According to what Yun Tong said, Shen Xuan inside hasn’t done anything wrong either. Fifth Brother, what do you think? He was just pushed by circumstances. If he hadn’t been forced, do you think he would have taken that path?" Shen Hui asked.
Shen Xi nodded, "Of course not," thinking of Yun Tong’s description, he asked, "Then what exactly is going on?"
"It’s not important anymore, Fifth Brother," Shen Hui said, "Have you heard the saying, ’one flower, one world’? Like our world, maybe there are many of them. Yun Tong’s past life occurred in another similar world. The leaves may look the same, but the details are different. There’s no point in getting entangled in those things, it only leads to a dead end."
Shen Xi suddenly understood and laughed, "You always think so clearly, Imperial Brother."
"But it’s mentioned that Imperial Brother was poisoned; we must take it seriously and immediately call the Imperial Physicians for a diagnosis."
Shen Hui didn’t refuse; he was just wondering how to bring up this matter.
Shen Xi summoned all the Imperial Physicians, and after careful pulse-checking, they indeed found some differences, finally confirming that Shen Hui had been afflicted with a particularly rare poison. This poison does not show symptoms usually, but when the time is right, it becomes irreversible.
Shen Xi panicked, what should be done?
"Why not call all capable men into the palace?" Shen Hui said calmly, "Whoever can detoxify me will be made a Prince."
Finally saying this, Shen Hui felt a sense of relief.
Originally, Shen Xi thought Imperial Brother was too indifferent, but now hearing the reward of being made a Prince, he knew that Imperial Brother still cared. It’s just that as the emperor, keeping a composed face is normal.
The people were still immersed in the belief that the current Emperor was a True Dragon descended. Then they heard he was poisoned with a rare toxin that would kill him suddenly, and they panicked. Many prayed for him, and every day capable men entered the palace to diagnose Shen Hui, obviously to no avail.
In the Prince Xian Mansion, Shen Xiang was furious.
[See, I knew after Guangmao Mountain, he would get better and better, and now even the poisoning has been found out, it might be resolved soon.]
[Can’t you make his poison activate immediately?]
[Host, he has fortune protecting him. If the fortune isn’t damaged, this poison might just stay dormant and not activate. Now that it’s exposed, this might not be a good thing. In this world, no one can detoxify this poison.] The system’s voice echoed, making him feel troubled, as he had absorbed little fortune and lost quite a bit, leaving him helpless.
Shen Hui had already communicated with Shen Xuan, asking him to enter the palace and offer medicine after some time.
A month passed, and by then all capable men had come, all to no avail, so Shen Xuan brought Ah Chen to offer medicine.
He said he had an antidote, but didn’t know if it could cure the Emperor’s poison, having waited so long without good news, he decided to take the risk.
Because he believed Shen Hui was a good emperor, and didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Shen Xi felt a bit complicated after hearing this. Did Shen Xuan know that if Imperial Brother weren’t there, the other party could very likely vie for the throne?
But at this moment, he was utterly certain that Shen Xuan truly wished Imperial Brother well, and from what he heard from Yun Tong, he was completely reassured.
In Yun Tong’s past life, Shen Xuan was really just pushed forward.
The Imperial Physician checked and found the medicine wouldn’t kill anyone and had no side effects and could even cure all poisons, so Shen Hui finally took it.
That day Shen Hui’s poison was cured, and according to his previous promise, he made Shen Xuan a prince named Prince Shen.
Everyone was shocked; Shen Ke was not only Shen Xuan’s surname but also His Majesty’s, and the meaning wasn’t simple.
"I always felt like I knew you upon our first meeting, and now you’ve saved my life. Why don’t we become... sworn brothers?"
Shen Xuan laughed, without the slightest hesitation.
"You can call me Big Brother from now on," Shen Hui said.
Shen Xuan: "Big Brother."
Shen Xi: Imperial Brother, have you forgotten you still have a Fifth Brother?
Shen Xuan pulled Ah Chen: "Chenchen, quickly call Big Brother."
Ah Chen smiled and called out, "Big Brother."
Who could have thought today’s grand scene was all because these two brothers wanted to address each other openly? Bestowing the title, becoming sworn brothers, from now on it was all perfectly justified.
Beside Shen Xi, Shen Xiang widened his eyes, in the past life they had hit it off immediately, and after Shen Xuan proposed some ideas, Shen Xuan was made a prince.
This lifetime was also an immediate good rapport, and Shen Xuan also brought out the antidote, and was again made a prince.
Why is Shen Hui always so indulgent towards Shen Xuan? Clearly, they are just sworn brothers.
Whereas he, this nephew, actually has a blood relation to him, yet for a few minor mistakes, he was impeached. Even considering his father’s influence, his life was spared, but he lost his freedom for a lifetime, atoning forever, nearly worse than death.
He was jealous, too jealous of Shen Xuan.
He was also very unwilling, clearly, he was the one who had blood relations with Shen Hui.
Moreover, Shen Xuan was the one who found the evidence of his mistakes, and it was Shen Dai who impeached him.
Those father and son seemed to be his nemesis, making it hard to move in their presence, every move difficult.
Later he still wanted to overthrow Shen Hui, but of course before he could do anything, Shen Xuan discovered it.
"Fifth Brother, why don’t you all stay today," Shen Hui said with a smile, "Just became sworn brothers, let’s all gather together."
Shen Xi naturally agreed, feeling happy that even though Imperial Brother gained another brother, he hadn’t forgotten his Fifth Brother.
Since Imperial Brother was now sworn brothers with Shen Xuan, they were all brothers, and he believed the other party would be subdued by Imperial Brother’s charm.
Shen Hui glanced at Ah Chen’s position, seeing her nod slightly, he understood that she would expose Shen Xiang later.
But such matters couldn’t be known by too many people, just him, his little brother, Fifth Brother, sister-in-law, and Shen Xiao and Shen Xiang. Shen Xiao was a sincere child, knowing the importance. It’s also fortunate that Fifth Brother had Shen Xiao, otherwise...
As everyone just sat down, they didn’t notice Shen Hui had already signaled everyone to leave.
He sat at the main seat: "Today is just a gathering of us, it’s been a long time since we’ve been this happy, you don’t need to be reserved."
Shen Xi felt a sense of nostalgia and emotion, after so many years, Imperial Brother was still like this.
If it weren’t for Imperial Brother, he might have been done in by others at seven years old.
[Look at my unpromising father, so easily moved by Shen Hui’s casual words, no wonder he was just a Prince. Back when fighting for the throne, he didn’t even struggle, truly an unpromising thing.]
[If my father had wanted to fight for it, maybe he’d have become the emperor.]
[Damn, now what do we do? Shen Hui and Shen Xuan actually became sworn brothers, with two people of great fortune joining forces, can we still compete?] Shen Xiang buried his head and communicated with the system, not noticing the sudden quiet around him.
Everyone was paying attention to Shen Xiang, only Shen Xuan was looking at Ah Chen, secretly holding her hand under the table.
He really wanted to ask if Chenchen could hear his conversations with the system?
Ah Chen seemed to know what he was thinking, smiling and nodding.
Shen Xuan: ...
He had no secrets anymore!
But since Chenchen could hear, it was okay.
[Chenchen, you can hear, right?] He spoke with the system.
Ah Chen gently squeezed his palm to indicate she could hear.
[That’s great, from now on, if I want to say something to you that others can’t know, I’ll speak directly with Brother Tong, he won’t betray us.]
Ah Chen’s eyes curved with her smile, agreeing with his idea.
System: You noble beings! Do you think I’m here to pass messages?
