Chapter 648, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

"The court session is over..." Accompanied by the eunuch's drawn-out, seemingly endless voice, the sun gradually sank in the west, and a magnificent sunset appeared on the horizon, seemingly indicating that this long and ordinary day was about to come to an end.

However, for Yinzhen, his feelings at this moment were as fiery and unbearable as a burning flame.

Just now, someone below him had sent him a crucial message about smallpox, which greatly excited him.

So, as soon as the court session ended, Yinzhen couldn't wait to take long strides and hurriedly head out of the palace.

Because Yinzhen was walking so fast, Yinzhen, who was following behind him, didn't even have time to ask about the progress of the matter concerning Ruoxi that he had asked his ninth brother to handle.

I wonder if Ninth Brother has spoken to Consort Yi?

Watching Yinzhen's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yinzhen shook his head helplessly, then reached out and scratched his hair, muttering to himself, "Sigh, Ninth Brother has been so busy lately!"

Just as Yinzhen was muttering to himself, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Tenth Brother, why aren't you with Ninth Brother? I wonder what Ninth Brother has been busy with lately? If there is anything you need, Eighth Brother can help."

The speaker was none other than Yinzhi. He walked slowly with a smile on his face, his gaze falling on the direction Yintang had gone. He frowned slightly, but in an instant, he returned to his usual gentle and elegant demeanor.

Faced with Yinzhi's sudden concern and greeting, Yinzhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and a forced smile appeared on his face.

In his heart, he was screaming frantically, "Ninth Brother, come back quickly! I can't bear this alone..."

Nevertheless, Yinzhen knew perfectly well that even if he shouted himself hoarse, Ninth Brother would probably have already vanished without a trace.

Since he couldn't escape the situation, he might as well tell the truth. So he forced himself to answer, "Uh... well, I really don't know much about Ninth Brother's affairs."

Fearing that Yinzhi would continue to press for answers, Yinzhi, as if his pants were on fire, hurriedly said, "Mingyu is waiting for him at home!" and ran off without looking back, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Watching Yinzhi's departing figure, Yinzhi's face grew increasingly gloomy. He frowned deeply, his lips pressed into a thin line, as if he was trying hard to control the turmoil in his heart.

Even the image of the Eighth Prince that he usually maintained was difficult to maintain at this moment, and he looked rather disheveled.

Just then, a soft chuckle reached Yinzhi's ears.

He snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw three people standing not far away—the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang, and the Fourteenth Prince Yinti.

Upon seeing this, Yinzhi's eyes instantly regained their clarity, but his face still wore a gentle smile, as warm as a spring breeze.

He asked softly, "Fourth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, Fourteenth Brother, where are you going? Can Fourteenth Brother come with Eighth Brother?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the Fourteenth Prince, Yinzhen, intentionally or unintentionally, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible curve.

Faced with Yinzhi's invitation, the Fourteenth Prince Yinti felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

He secretly glanced at his fourth brother, Yinzhen, who stood expressionless beside him, and then looked at his eighth brother, Yinsi, whom he had just mocked. He inwardly groaned.

The thought of the horribly gloomy face the myna bird had just given him sent a chill down his spine, and he simply didn't have the courage to walk with him.

So, Yinzhen quickly shook his head and stammered, "No...no, I still need to go with my fourth brother to pay my respects to Mother." After saying that, he deliberately looked at his fourth brother, Yinzhen, hoping to get his support.

As Yinzhi watched as everyone avoided him as if he were a flood or a ferocious beast, a feeling arose in his heart that this shouldn't be happening...
