Not only because of the eyes, even under normal circumstances, Prince Duan would never be jealous of a girl, his mind is not that shallow, on the contrary, whoever his father can favor, he can also favor.
Has anyone ever thought about Prince Duan's eyes? Undoubtedly, there has never been a shortage of such people.
It would have been fine before, as she still underestimated Xiaocao's medical skills. But how could she still dare to have such thoughts now? Even though the people in the Imperial Hospital had long determined that Prince Duan had no chance of regaining his sight, there had been several times when Wen Renxuan had saved people who had been declared hopeless by the Imperial Hospital. So, who could guarantee that she could not bring Prince Duan back to life again
If Prince Duan regains his power, he will undoubtedly be the biggest rival of the other princes. In the past, he single-handedly suppressed the other princes so that they had no room to raise their heads. It was not until he withdrew from the competition because of an "accident".
If he stood up again, even if his previous power had long been divided up by other people, Emperor Xuanren was his greatest reliance. As long as Emperor Xuanren had such intention, there would never be a lack of "fence-sitters" among the ministers, not to mention people like Xiadu Yushi who would not take sides in the fight for the throne. However, Prince Duan was both the eldest and the legitimate son, and he was extremely outstanding. He had all the qualities of being the eldest, the legitimate son, and the wise. What reason was there not to support him
How could he not be jealous of others when he could easily get what others had tried their best but still couldn't get just by standing up
Now…
They could only hope that Prince Duan's blindness would not last too long, as even Wen Renxuan could do nothing about it.
Although the ceremony was solemn, the process was quite simple and did not take too long.
After it was over, it was still too early for the banquet outside the palace. However, there was no need to worry about having nothing to do to kill time. Building relationships and making friends could be the topic of conversation at any time.
Xiaocao is naturally indispensable as the protagonist. This newly-minted Princess Anguo is worthy of making friends, both because of the emperor's favor and for her own sake. As for whether they still despise her "origin" in their hearts, to be honest, no one has the patience to pay attention to those who still have this idea.
The idea was good, but they couldn't even find the person. After asking around, they found out that Princess Anguo had gone directly with Emperor Xuanren, and some people also noticed that Prince Duan was also missing.
The news of this "coincidence" spread rapidly. Not only did the court officials know about it soon, but the women in the inner palace also knew about it. After a little attention, they discovered that Princess Duan had also disappeared for unknown reasons.
Not to mention that the ministers were feeling uneasy, even some female members of the family with a keen political sense had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
Although some people had expected this situation, it still made people...
No one had mentioned it before. In fact, some people were more or less afraid to mention it, and were unwilling to mention it. They had an evasive mentality, as if as long as they didn't say anything, it wouldn't happen. However, Emperor Xuanren gave them a direct blow, swift and fierce, without giving them any extra time to prepare mentally.
Perhaps I was overthinking it. With this thought in mind, all parties began to inquire about the situation, even at the risk of "spying on the emperor's whereabouts."
Those who had wanted to get closer to the Wen family because they couldn't find Xiaocao, all became a little subtle in their expressions after vaguely knowing about this matter. However, of course, there were also people who didn't care about this matter, at least on the surface they didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
To be honest, if Xiaocao cured Prince Duan, then even if this was the intention of Emperor Xuanren, the Wenren Family would still be assigned to Prince Duan's faction. The Wenren Family itself might not be a big deal, but don't forget the network of relationships centered on Xiaocao.
No matter how you look at it, it's all his fault. Prince Duan is taking too much advantage.
In the last fight for the throne, the Wen family was involved in it, but fortunately Emperor Xuanren was kind and those who were punished were those who had offended him badly, so the Wen family did not suffer much loss. Now Wenren Taibo has supported the entire family again - of course, compared to Xiaocao's current glory, his is quite dim - originally the current princes had nothing to do with the Wen family, and Wenren Taibo did not want to wade into muddy waters again, but now he is suspected of being forced on board. However, if it really comes to this, Wenren Taibo is not afraid.
It is said that blessing is not a disaster, and disaster cannot be avoided.
The restored Prince Duan was the most legitimate and destined one. If you bet on him, the chance of winning is quite high. Why not give it a try? If you lose even when you have all the advantages, it can only be said that Prince Duan does not have that kind of luck. Those who bet on Prince Duan will not be able to continue the family's glory.
Even though they haven't received any definite news yet, many people have already been thinking about all these things. Even though they curse in their hearts that they will not succeed, subconsciously, they don't think that Wen Renxuan will fail.
—It can be seen that almost all of these people, deep in their hearts, acknowledge Xiaocao’s attainments in medical skills.
Most people might be able to hold on, but there are always some who have been under too much pressure and stimulation these days, and finally they can no longer suppress it because of the news that "Prince Duan may regain his sight."
Prince Heng was furious in Concubine Xian's palace and smashed many things. No matter what Concubine Xian said, it was of no use. In order to prevent him from saying something he shouldn't say, Concubine Xian didn't dare let anyone serve him in the palace.
"… He is his eldest son, a treasure. We sons are all trash, right? All this time, no matter what we do, we cannot please him. He treats everyone equally and lets us grow up on our own. In essence, he does not care about us and does not take us seriously. Now that he sees hope, he is so eager for his eldest son to see the light again. If he can see again, will he immediately reinstate him as the crown prince? Since he only has one son, he should not have taken other women if he had the ability. Wouldn't it be better to keep his wife alone? With the help of the power behind each woman, now…"
"Shut up—" Concubine Xian finally threw the teacup at Prince Heng in anger.
The mad Prince Heng was hit on the back, and he looked at Concubine Xian with fierce eyes. Seeing Concubine Xian's gloomy eyes, he finally regained some rationality. Then he realized what he had said belatedly, and felt a little panic in his heart. But now he was breathing heavily, stiffening his neck, gritting his teeth, and did not think he had said anything wrong.
Speaking of which, Prince Heng was still a little bit wronged by Emperor Xuanren. Although he did value and favor his eldest son the most, he also treated his other children as his own. Otherwise, he could really not care at all about whether you were good or bad, or whether you were bullied. Not to mention that the prince's children were humiliated and it was a disgrace to the royal family, he didn't take it seriously. What kind of royal family did he represent
The virtuous concubine rubbed her aching temples. Her son had been full of energy and vigor in the past few years. He had become more and more shrewd and capable, and had many people to help him. The situation was very good. As she watched, she would occasionally feel that it was a bit too much and was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction to his father. However, she thought that some things were right in front of her and could not be taken away at will. If she hid them too much, the emperor might think that she was scheming. In the end, she simply ignored it. After all, she could not compare with the empress dowager's political skills. It was better not to interfere in some things.
However, in such a short period of time, the situation took a turn for the worse, to the point where he was forced into this state. As a mother, how could she not feel distressed
"My son, listen to what your mother says. Your father has suffered a great disaster. He was in good health to begin with, and now he has Wen Renxuan. It's unknown how many years he will live. Whether he is temporarily out of power or temporarily in power, it is always temporary. How can we know that there will be no changes in the future? What you should do now is to stabilize yourself, instead of losing your mind and going crazy. If you really do something that makes your father completely disgusted with you, you will really have no chance of turning things around."
Prince Heng knew very well that what his mother said was very right. However, if he had not ordered people to kill Wen Renxuan, it would have been easier for him to keep quiet and take his time. The problem was that he had a guilty conscience and never dared to underestimate his father's ability. He was afraid that if he was found out one day, he would be doomed.
"The situation with Prince Duan is still unclear. If you completely lose your composure, then if he really regains his sight, how can you compete with him? Moreover, even if he regains his sight..."
King Heng laughed strangely, "So what if he regains his sight? If I can make him blind once, I can make him blind a second time, or even make him close his eyes completely and never wake up again!"
Xianfei's face immediately turned pale, "You evil creature, shut up!"
She really dares to say anything. Does she really think that she is absolutely safe here
Prince Heng came to his senses a little after being yelled at by Concubine Xian. He realized what he had said and felt a chill on his back. He then wiped his face fiercely, and his heart was beating wildly, and it would take a while for it to calm down.
"Some things you'd better forget completely. If you can't forget them, just keep them to yourself. If you keep saying things that you don't want to do, I will go and plead guilty to the Emperor and demote you, so that you don't make stupid mistakes and implicate countless people."
At that time, no matter how they investigated, the incident involving Prince Duan was caused by an accident. The emperor was just terribly gloomy. After dealing with the person who carelessly caused the disaster, everyone thought that the matter was over. As a result, not long after, several officials were searched and their homes were searched under various names. During that time, the entire imperial city seemed to be filled with the smell of blood, and there were dark clouds over the emperor, which made people terrified. No one did not think that the incident had nothing to do with Prince Duan, but no one dared to mention it.
Xian Fei doesn't even dare to think about that time now. Is she going to jump out and die now
"Mother, please calm down. I know I was wrong." This time, Prince Heng was really completely sober.
The Concubine's expression improved a little. "I am confident that you can do your job normally, but please don't make mistakes again. I don't think you need to teach you what to do next. If you really don't know, consult with your grandfather and others."
"Don't worry, mother."
The virtuous concubine breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, "Pack up and get out. There are so many people outside. What's the point of you hiding here in my palace?" There would be no need to arouse suspicion.
After Prince Heng left, Concubine Xian asked people to come in and clean up. The palace was in a mess, and the more she looked at it, the more upset she felt.
The people who were dealt with were all people that Concubine Xian trusted, no matter they were brought into the palace in the early years or later, they were all carefully selected. She believed that they would never betray her. However, perhaps it was because Emperor Xuanren’s first wife, whether she was a princess or a queen later, was an unkind person and did not do anything to her husband’s other women, so Concubine Xian had always had smooth sailing. There are some things that she has not experienced, so she does not know that nothing is absolute.
There are some things that Emperor Xuanren doesn't ask about, but once he asks...
Nowadays, Xiaocao is used to carrying the medicine box with him wherever he goes, including into the palace. Moreover, compared with before, some "dangerous items" are now placed in the box, which once again allows people to see the tools that have never been seen in Xiaocao's box.
Xiaocao took some kind of tool and pointed it at the eyes. The child shone a light in front of Prince Duan's eyes, carefully examined the condition of Prince Heng's eyes, inquired about the initial circumstances of the eye injury, and also checked the pulse record of that year.
Xiaocao knew what was going on, but...
"An Guo, what's the situation?" Emperor Xuanren asked.
Xiaocao was a little slow to react and realized that Emperor Xuanren was calling her. She was not used to this address yet.
Everyone present was waiting for her words anxiously. Prince Duan always had a good attitude, but at this moment he couldn't help but clench his fists.
