Chapter 482: Swords Drawn and Bows Bent
Seventh Prince Ye Zhengmo sneered and shook his head, "You are all too hypocritical; seeing Second Brother like this, and still you say such things."
"Especially the Crown Prince, Sixth Brother; in his heart regarding Second Brother’s condition, who knows how he’s laughing wildly? How could he not show it on his face?"
Ye Zhengmo looked at Ye Yiheng, noting he was wearing an eye veil which obscured his expression, and that genuinely irked him.
Prince Duan, trying to smooth things over, smiled and said, "What Seventh said isn’t quite right. Speaking about the Crown Prince, Sixth Brother in such a manner, even I can hear the sarcasm between the lines."
Ye Yiheng replied in a calm tone, "Seventh speaking so, damages the bond between brothers."
"The Crown Prince, Sixth Brother’s blindness and frailty are not what Sixth Brother desires. Why should Seventh connect Second Brother’s condition to Sixth Brother?" The Eighth Prince, Ye Yongwang, whispered, "All brothers hope for Second Brother and his wife to have a happy marriage. According to what Seventh is suggesting, do you want to add fuel to the fire and recount all of Second Brother’s miseries before everyone?"
"You..." Ye Zhengmo furrowed his brow, "So disrespectful!"
"From my point of view, the one showing disrespect is Seventh, not Eighth, who, though two years younger, is more sensible than Seventh," Ye Yiheng said leisurely. "If I am not mistaken, Seventh is soon to come of age."
He made his point subtly, which caused Ye Zhengmo’s eyebrows to furrow tightly, "So, Sixth Brother truly considers himself an influential Crown Prince?"
He was about to be named a prince, what could Ye Yiheng do to him?
Ye Yiheng replied coldly, "Even without real power, I am still the Crown Prince right now."
