Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne

Chapter 549: Chapter 291: Prince Chu Misses His Tenth Brother

That night, in the study of the Two Royal Mansions in Liangzhou.

Prince Chu sat at the desk, engrossed in handling official business.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock..."

At this moment, a knock sounded. Then, Wei Mian’s voice was heard: "Your Highness."

Without looking up, Prince Chu said, "Come in."

Wei Mian gently pushed open the door, then walked in with light steps. He first saluted Prince Chu, then took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Prince Chu with both hands.

"Your Highness, a letter from the Tenth Prince."

Upon hearing it was a letter from Zhao Yao, Prince Chu immediately put down his pen and took the letter from Wei Mian. As he received the letter, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he chuckled, saying, "Why is this letter so thin this time?" It felt like there were only a few sheets of paper.

Usually, the letters Zhao Yao wrote to Prince Chu were thick, containing at least twenty or thirty sheets of paper. Sometimes one envelope wasn’t enough, requiring two or three envelopes. This was the first time receiving a thin letter like this.

"I was puzzled too." When Wei Mian received the letter and saw that it was from the Tenth Prince, he noticed that the envelope wasn’t puffy. He was surprised, wondering if it wasn’t the Tenth Prince’s letter. He even double-checked and found it was indeed from the Tenth Prince. However, the Tenth Prince wrote significantly less this time, which was unlike his usual style.

Prince Chu chucklingly opened the letter and found only five sheets of paper inside. His heart felt a slight sinking. Why did his tenth brother only write five pages? Did something happen to him?

With a sense of worry, he hurriedly lowered his head to read the letter. The first sheet contained just a few sentences, summarizing as "Fourth Brother, how could you not agree for me to come to Liangzhou to see you, I’m angry!" "Fourth Brother, we’ve only been apart for a few years, don’t you love me as your brother anymore, am I no longer your precious younger brother?" "Fourth Brother, you’ve really hurt my heart."

After reading the first sheet, an expression of helpless yet affectionate laughter appeared on Prince Chu’s face.

"This tenth brother..." He originally thought something had happened to the tenth brother, but it turned out he was just angry.

On the second sheet, there was only one line repeated: "Fourth Brother, I’m angry!"

Prince Chu laughed inwardly: I can see that.

On the third sheet, a line was written in bold letters: "Fourth Brother, you don’t love me anymore!" After this line, there was even a drawing of a crying face rolling on the ground.

Prince Chu thought to himself: Quite a vivid drawing.

On the fourth sheet, a line was also written in bold: "Fourth Brother, you’ve abandoned me after leading me on!"

Prince Chu reached out to rub his forehead, helplessly thinking: Tenth brother, that’s not how you use ’abandoned after leading on.’

On the fifth sheet, a line was written with great force: "Fourth Brother, I’m going to cut ties with you for a month!" Below this line was another sentence written in normal letters, "Fourth Brother, even if you beg me to visit you in Liangzhou, I won’t go. Hmph, take care of yourself!"

After reading Zhao Yao’s letter, Prince Chu couldn’t help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha..."

Standing to the side, Wei Mian saw Prince Chu laugh and quickly asked, "Your Highness, what did the Tenth Prince write?"

"Tenth brother is angry and wants to cut ties with me," Prince Chu said, handing the letter to Wei Mian to read.

After reading, Wei Mian chuckled, "Your Highness, the Tenth Prince is truly adorable and amusing."

Prince Chu laughed affectionately, "You can tell tenth brother is genuinely angry."

"Your Highness, for the Tenth Prince to say he wants to cut ties for a month, it shows he’s really very angry." Wei Mian thought to himself; the Tenth Prince is indeed entertaining. But thanks to the Tenth Prince’s letter, the Prince laughed. Recently, some things happened, and the Prince has been in a bad mood, keeping a strained face and scaring everyone.

Neither the Princess nor the little prince could make the Prince smile, only the Tenth Prince could. That laugh he had just now seemed to sweep away the gloom of the past days.

"The Tenth Prince has never said he wanted to cut ties with you before. This is the first time he has said it, indicating he’s really upset with you." Wei Mian said, holding up the last sheet of paper, "Look how forcefully the Tenth Prince wrote this sentence." The ink had even seeped through to the back.

Prince Chu naturally noticed. He could imagine his tenth brother’s puffed-up face when angry. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "He even told me to take care of myself." Tenth brother, how am I supposed to take care of myself?

"Your Highness, you and the Tenth Prince haven’t seen each other for several years. The Tenth Prince misses you dearly, and you miss him too. Why did you refuse his visit?" Wei Mian also wondered, "If you ask the Emperor, he would surely allow the Tenth Prince to come to Liangzhou to see you. If you’re worried about his safety, you can send someone to the capital to pick him up, or I could go pick him up."
