Chapter 57 Brothers? They're just meant to be tricked, better off being tricked to death.
As Zhu Gaosui finished doing all this, the Imperial Guards behind him quickly came to his side.
One of the younger guards, whose uniform clearly identified him as a commander of a thousand men, spoke up: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Although the Imperial Guard was questioning Zhu Gaosui, his gaze remained fixed on the medicine in Zhu Gaosui's hand.
You could say that Zhu Gaosui could have something happen to him, but this medicinal soup absolutely could not have anything happen to him.
"I am fine, and the medicine is also fine. You may leave."
Zhu Gaosui glanced at the Imperial Guard and, seeing that he had not been exposed, cautiously strode forward.
If his previous caution was for show, then his current caution is genuine.
As he continued forward, Zhu Gaosui's heart grew increasingly anxious.
Just as they were about to enter the palace, two people, one large and one small, appeared in front of them.
Zhu Gaosui didn't want to pay attention, but the two men had already come over, putting him in a difficult position.
"Third brother, you're walking too slowly. It's still quite a distance to Mother's place. Let me take her there."
Blocking Zhu Gaosui's path were Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanji, who had arrived from behind.
Zhu Gaoxu was initially quite angry, thinking that Zhu Gaochi didn't trust him and had specially sent Zhu Zhanji to watch over him.
However, after Zhu Zhanji explained the situation, Zhu Gaoxu listened to him completely, which dispelled all his doubts.
At this moment, Zhu Gaosui hesitated for a moment when he saw Zhu Gaoxu trying to intercept him.
In fact, Zhu Gaoxu was more than happy to deliver it, since he had already accomplished what he was supposed to do.
But given the current situation, if he were to hand it over to Zhu Gaoxu like this, it would raise too much suspicion.
After all, he had just snatched this matter from Zhu Gaochi when he was still in the Eastern Palace. Now that he was giving it directly to Zhu Gaoxu, it would inevitably arouse suspicion if Xu Miaoyun got into trouble later.
If anyone brings this up, he will absolutely be unable to clear his name of suspicion.
Zhu Gaosui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu and smiled, "Second brother, how can this be? Eldest brother entrusted it to me, so I must personally deliver it to Mother."
Zhu Gaosui said this, but the hand holding the medicine reached out a little further and then moved closer to Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu watched Zhu Gaosui's actions without paying any attention, only glancing at the medicine in Zhu Gaosui's hand, without any intention of taking it.
"Third brother, that's your fault. You walk slowly, so let me carry it; I can do it faster."
"Second brother, no, I have to deliver it to Mother myself before I can feel at ease."
Zhu Gaosui became anxious as he watched Zhu Gaoxu remain inactive.
As long as Zhu Gaoxu takes over, Zhu Gaosui dares to say that this matter will absolutely not be discovered by anyone.
On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu is the most suspicious, after all, this was taken from him by Zhu Gaoxu. Who can explain what Zhu Gaoxu put in it if he did this halfway?
In this way, Zhu Gaochi fell, and Zhu Zhanji was implicated, so Zhu Gaoxu also had to fall, leaving only him. Zhu Di then had no other choice.
He was almost able to deliver the medicine to Zhu Gaoxu, but why wouldn't this man take it?
Normally, he had never seen Zhu Gaoxu so modest. If it were any other time, Zhu Gaoxu would have already snatched it away.
Desperate, Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to provoke Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu was indeed anxious upon hearing Zhu Gaosui's words.
"Third brother, stop with the veiled insults. What do you mean you'll only feel at ease if you personally deliver it to Mother? Can't you feel at ease if I deliver it myself?!"
Zhu Gaoxu glared at Zhu Gaosui, still paying no attention to the medicine in his hand, and even glancing back repeatedly out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu wasn't taking the bait at all, Zhu Gaosui became even more anxious.
"Second brother, stop overthinking. I never said that. Don't slander me!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui started arguing over a disagreement, which made Zhu Zhanji, who was watching from the side, anxious, and the Imperial Guards behind them were even more anxious.
But these two before him, Zhu Zhanji had been instructed by Zhu Gaochi to listen to Zhu Gaoxu.
The Imperial Guards were completely helpless against these two; if they dared to say anything out of turn, these two would show them no respect whatsoever.
As for whether Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui would be punished by Zhu Di later.
They're so close, it means one meal, and then that's it.
However, the one who was most anxious was Zhu Gaosui.
He doesn't know whether to call Zhu Gaoxu stupid or brainless. Is this the time to argue about these things?
Besides, if he wanted to prove it, he could have just snatched the medicine away; he'd already delivered it to Zhu Gaoxu!
"Second brother, let's stop arguing. If we keep arguing, when will we be able to get the medicine to Mother?"
"Didn't you want this medicine? I'll give it to you now, you can deliver it, okay?"
Zhu Gaosui stopped pretending and handed it directly to Zhu Gaoxu.
Now, if Zhu Gaoxu were to deliver it, there would be no suspicion.
Zhu Gaosui had thought all of this very clearly.
Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback when he saw Zhu Gaosui hand it over.
Now it's up to him whether he should accept the call or not. If he does, he'll have to deliver it.
But Zhu Gaoxu knew he had no time to hesitate, so he took it directly, glanced at Zhu Gaosui, and prepared to turn and leave.
At this moment, Jiang Yongwen hurriedly ran over.
"Your Highnesses, please wait! That medicine cannot be given to the Empress!"
Upon hearing the words, Zhu Gaosui's pupils contracted, and he turned to look at Jiang Yongwen, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Zhu Gaoxu keenly sensed Zhu Gaosui's murderous intent; this was a sharp intuition he had honed on the battlefield.
Jiang Yongwen approached the two men, panting, and said, "Your Highnesses, His Highness the Crown Prince said that one ingredient is missing from this medicine, and the Empress cannot take it."
His Highness the Crown Prince is already preparing the medicine again, and it will be sent to the Empress soon.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui both looked at the medicine in the basket, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately handed it to Zhu Zhanji.
"Boy, protect this medicine. Don't give it to anyone. This is your father's order!"
As Zhu Gaoxu handed the medicine to Zhu Zhanji, he gave him instructions.
If he still doesn't realize there's something wrong with the medicine at this point, then he's truly stupid.
However, Zhu Gaosui was unaware of these things. Seeing Zhu Zhanji holding the medicine tightly, he immediately wanted to take it, but was stopped by Zhu Gaoxu.
"Second brother! Why are you stopping me? The eldest brother asked me to take this medicine to Mother. What does he mean by that?"
"I'm going to take this medicine back and ask the boss what he's really up to!"
"Third brother! That's enough! The eldest brother has already sent someone to tell us in time, what more do you want?"
The eldest son is preparing the medicine again now. If you want an explanation, wait until this matter is over and your mother has taken the medicine before you go to the eldest son for an explanation!
Since you have doubts, then this medicine must not be given to anyone!
Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief, and now he suddenly understood.
Zhu Gaoxu actually got together with Zhu Gaochi!
He never imagined that these two would actually end up together!
Zhu Zhanji ignored the two men and went to stand in front of Jiang Yongwen.
"Has my father made any arrangements?"
"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince requests that you bring medicine and accompany me to the Imperial Hospital."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, then cautiously summoned the Embroidered Uniform Guards and left with Jiang Yongwen.
This immediately alarmed Zhu Gaosui, who tried to stop him, but was stopped by Zhu Gaoxu.
"Third brother, something's wrong with you!"
How could Zhu Gaosui be a match for Zhu Gaoxu? He was completely controlled by Zhu Gaoxu.
As Zhu Gaosui watched Zhu Zhanji and the others gradually disappear into the distance, his heart was filled with despair.
"Why, why! Boss, you're playing me!"
Zhu Gaosui was filled with resentment, his eyes red, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a crazed expression.
"Second brother, when did you get on the same side as the eldest brother? I never would have guessed, you've actually become the eldest brother's dog!"
Haha, one of the boss's... uh...
Before Zhu Gaosui could finish speaking, Zhu Gaoxu punched him in the stomach, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
Even those wearing armor couldn't withstand the internal injuries caused by Zhu Gaoxu's punch, let alone Zhu Gaosui who was completely naked.
Seeing Zhu Gaosui gradually bending down in discomfort, Zhu Gaoxu helped Zhu Gaosui to bend down as well.
"Third brother, let me tell you, no one can interfere with this! I haven't given up that position either!"
Remember this: don't try to be clever in front of me again!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaosui, his words full of warning.
Zhu Gaosui's unusual behavior was enough to explain the situation. Thinking back to when Zhu Gaosui had asked him to deliver medicine, Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
There's no affection between these brothers, but they're certainly good at scheming against each other.
