Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(150) Depending on Others, It's Better to Depend on Oneself

Inside the Bright Dawn Palace, Xiao Ran slowly woke up, pleasantly surprising the room full of people.

Concubine Yue dispatched people to invite over the imperial physician. After diagnosis, the imperial physician said as long as he recuperates properly, after a period of time he can get out of bed.

Concubine Yue was ecstatic, she rewarded the imperial physician and ordered people to make supplemental soup. All at once, Bright Dawn Palace became a busy chaos, but the group was cheerful.

Only Xiao Ran could not feel happy. When he woke up, taking advantage that mother concubine wasn't present, he asked Xiang Yu what happened these several days. Xiang Yu told him in full detail what happened to His Highness Prince Ying, so Xiao Ran now couldn't sit still.

And at this time Concubine Yue entered. Seeing he was about to get out of bed, she immediately stopped him. "Your wounds still haven't healed, what do you want to do that made you so anxious as to get out of bed?"

"Mother Concubine, First older royal brother is innocent. This son must go and explain everything clearly to Father Emperor. The person that wanted to assassinate this son is another person." Xiao Ran struggled to get out of bed, but heard Mother Concubine's cold command.

"People come close the palace gates. Fourth Prince is not allowed to take one step out the door!"

"Mother Concubine, what are you doing?" Xiao Ran stared blankly.

He only heard Mother Concubine say using a voice only he could hear. "Foolish child, this opportunity is rare. You can't root out Prince Ying this rival based on your abilities. It's too difficult to go head to head against him!"

Xiao Ran looked toward his normally gentle and warm Mother Concubine, stupefied. Now she had on an expression he couldn't decipher. "Mother Concubine, this son never thought of going head to head with First older royal brother!"

"Whether you thought of it or not isn't important. But in the end there will be a day, even if you don't want to get on the battle stage, there will be people who will force you up." Concubine Yue looked into his eyes and unflinchingly said.

"But——" Xiao Ran somewhat unable to accept it said.

"Be obedient. Don't you like that silly little girl from Chu family? Mother Concubine guarantees that after this time's matter passes, you can then move her over to be one of your concubines. Or as a side concubine to make you happy!" Concubine Yue caressed his head as she gently said.

Xiao Ran heard this and his heart rate sped up, but very quickly he overthrew this thought. Taking advantage of someone else's difficulties was a harmful way to conduct himself ethically. He shook his head and firmly said. "The sages said 'a person of noble character must do certain things and not do others.' Mother Concubine, you should just let this son go see Father Emperor!"

"Out of the question. Put away your sage sayings. This matter, Mother Concubine won't agree to your wishes! If you dare to take one step out of Bright Dawn Palace, everyone in here will be beheaded!" Finished speaking, Concubine Yue ordered the guards to be increased, then left angrily.

Xiao Ran covered the wound on his chest. Laying on the bed, he stared blankly at the top of the bed.

Why did everything become like this?

First older royal brother was the brother he was closest to, how could he just sit by and watch?

Why did Mother Concubine become like this?

In the future, how could he face Qing-Yan ah?

Xiao Ran's face was full of despair.

Whereas Chu Qing-Yan who leaned against the wall after hearing daddy's words, her heart was moved.
