The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 46: Mourning?

Please accept my condolences!

Yun Li's sudden remark left Emperor Wen and Mu Shun completely bewildered.

The three of them, still kneeling on the ground, looked utterly bewildered. They wanted to raise their heads to see which fool had run up to Emperor Wen and shouted recklessly, but they didn't dare to look up.

Emperor Wen stared blankly at Yun Li, who was stumbling and running towards him, his face twitching uncontrollably.

Mu Shunxin knew it wasn't good and quickly gestured frantically to Yun Li.

But Yun Li's thoughts were all on Emperor Wen; how could he notice Mu Shun's expression!

Yun Li still did not understand the reason.

Seeing Emperor Wen staring at him in a daze, he thought that Emperor Wen was simply overwhelmed with grief!

Finally, Yun Li ran to Emperor Wen's side, squeezing out a few drops of tears with all his might, and wailed, "Father, the sixth brother has met with misfortune, and we are all very saddened, but as the ruler of a nation, you must take care of your holy body..."

Hearing Yun Li's words, Du Guiyuan and the other two were stunned.

Is this prince out of his mind?

The Sixth Prince was living well, and Emperor Wen was very pleased. He even inexplicably came over, both expressing his condolences to Emperor Wen and urging him to take care of his health?

Mu Shun weakly glanced at Yun Li, wanting to remind him, but seeing Emperor Wen's unusual expression, he hesitated to speak.

"Father, say something! Please don't scare your son..."

Yun Li was still wailing, wearing a concerned expression.

Speak?

The Emperor's face twitched incessantly, his heart ablaze with fury.

I will speak now!

"Bang!"

In a fit of rage, Emperor Wen slapped Yun Li hard across the face, roaring uncontrollably, "Unfilial son! Do you really want Sixth Brother to die like this?"

The Emperor's slap in a fit of rage was no light matter; Yun Li was directly sent reeling, seeing stars.

Yun Li fell to his knees with a thud, wailing, "Father, I never wanted anything to happen to Sixth Brother! But once a person is dead, they cannot come back to life. Father, please don't let your anger get the better of you..."

Before Yun Li could finish speaking, Yun Zheng ran out of the room upon hearing the noise.

Yun Li's voice abruptly stopped, staring blankly at Yun Zheng.

Is Lao Liu not dead?

Damn it!

What is going on?

How can Father Emperor ask someone to change the lantern when Lao Liu is clearly alive?

Yun Li was completely stunned this time.

He finally understood why his father's slap had landed on his face.

What should I do?

What should we do now?

Yun Li's mind raced, desperately contemplating a strategy.

Looking at Yun Li, who was trembling all over like a sieve, Emperor Wen, filled with anger, shouted furiously, "The sixth brother has come back from the dead! Do you want to go invite someone to perform a rite for him?"

I'm sorry, but it seems there is no source text provided for translation. Please provide the text you'd like me to translate

Yun Zheng's face twitched slightly; he wanted to laugh but dared not, so he could only hold it in with all his might.

This idiot thing!

I'm not dead yet!

Did he rush over here just to wail?

"Son of the subject... Son of the subject..."

Yun Li stammered, frightened and at a loss for words.

The Emperor was so furious that he gasped for breath, and after a long while, he shouted with a face full of anger, "Immediately go to the Grand Ancestral Temple and kneel for me! Kneel there tonight as well!"

"Son of the Emperor... At your command!"

Yun Li trembled all over as he got up, bowing his body, slowly retreating outside.

Leaving Yun Zheng's residence, Yun Li was so furious he nearly spat blood.

Came here late at night just to get slapped?

Before, it was enough to kneel in the ancestral temple during the day, but now, it's even required to kneel inside the ancestral temple at night!

It's all Xu Shifu's rotten ideas!

Yun Li cursed incessantly in his heart, almost directly cursing Xu Shifu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

In the mansion.

After driving Yun Li away, Emperor Wen was still extremely angry.

With the comforting words of Mu Shun and Yun Zheng, Emperor Wen finally regained his composure.

After letting Du Guiyuan and the others leave, Emperor Wen was supported by Mu Shun into the room.

At this moment, several side dishes had already been laid out on the table.

Emperor Wen plopped down, no longer wanting anyone to pour wine for him. He directly grabbed the wine jug and took a few gulps, "glug, glug."

"Your Majesty, the sacred body is of utmost importance."

Mu Shun's careful and delicate figure.

"What's the big deal?!"

The Emperor's anger flared up again, and he smashed the wine jug in his hand to pieces, panting heavily as he shouted, "I will be driven to my death by this ungrateful son sooner or later!"

When Emperor Wen became angry, everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to speak again.

Mu Shun quickly waved his hand at the servants in Yun Zheng's residence, signaling them to clean up the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

Mu Shun smiled cautiously, "Perhaps His Highness the Third Prince also heard the news and mistakenly thought that His Highness the Sixth Prince lost the bet. He came to offer comfort, fearing that the Emperor might be overly saddened..."

Hmm?

Hearing Mu Shun speak well of Yun Li, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

Is this guy really one of Lao San's people?

Hearing this, Emperor Wen immediately darkened his face and asked, "Who spread the news that the sixth brother lost at gambling and is in danger of losing his life?"

Hearing the words of Emperor Wen, the steward's heart trembled, and he suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, I thought the Sixth Prince had lost the bet and was afraid something might happen to him, so I..."

"Even something like this can be messed up, what use are you?"

The Emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Drag him away, give him thirty strokes, and expel him from the Sixth Prince's residence!"

Yun Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, but still pretended to plead, "Father, the steward was just overly worried about my safety, so..."

Before Yun Zheng could finish speaking, Emperor Wen shot him a fierce glare.

Yun Zheng promptly fell silent, but his heart was filled with joy.

It was unexpected for him to eliminate the spies that Emperor Wen had placed beside him.

Hit it!

Beat him to death, it's all fine!

It's still your person!

The steward was quickly dragged away by the imperial guards.

Before long, a scream from the butler echoed outside.

Emperor Wen vented his anger, and his heart finally felt a bit more at ease, but he had no desire to eat or drink anymore. He directly asked Yun Zheng to speak about their bet.

Yun Zheng truthfully informed him and then retrieved the piece of paper on which he had calculated the answer.

The Emperor Wen could not understand the calculation process, but he could discern whether the answer was right or wrong.

After watching for a while, Emperor Wen couldn't help but nod, "Such a simple question, yet it has multiple answers. This group of scholars really knows how to calculate!"

Yun Zheng chuckled, rarely showing a look of pride in front of Emperor Wen, "What he learned is just the surface, not even that."

Emperor Wen slightly raised his eyes and asked again, "Is this algorithm on the paper you wrote for Elder Zhang?"

"Yes."

Yun Zheng nodded, "There are things much more complicated than this."

Is that so?

Emperor Wen ordered Mu Shun to put away the paper, then immediately glared at Yun Zheng: "If you dare to gamble with your life again, I will first grant you a cup of poison, at least leaving you with a complete corpse!"

Yun Zheng chuckled dryly a couple of times and quickly agreed.

After that, Emperor Wen asked about other matters.

Upon learning that Banbu not only publicly slapped himself twice but also performed a master-apprentice bow to Yunzheng, Emperor Wen finally swept away his previous anger and burst into hearty laughter.

Waiting to ask about the process that made Banbu so furious he spat blood, Emperor Wen was even more delighted

After laughing, Emperor Wen cheerfully said, "Not only have you helped me acquire hundreds of warhorses tonight, but you've also helped me vent my anger. Speak up, what reward do you want?"

Reward?

Yun Zheng was momentarily taken aback, unsure of how to respond.

This question from Emperor Wen truly stumped him.

He does want military power, but he can't bring it up!

He wasn't very interested in the other rewards either!
