Xiao Cao looked at Emperor Xuanren and spoke carefully, "There is a membrane at the front of the human eyeball," he stretched out his hand to measure his eye, "just like the clear water, it is completely transparent. For normal people, if this membrane is damaged, the ability of the eyes to see things will be weakened, and the most serious is naturally blindness. Some degrees of damage can be cured through drug treatment, but some damage is irreversible and cannot be repaired."
After hearing what Xiaocao said, they already understood what was going on, and their hearts sank to the bottom in an instant.
What does it feel like to see hope and then be pushed into the abyss
Prince Duan's emotions fluctuated so much that not only did blue veins appear on the back of his hands, but also on his neck.
Princess Duan was sitting next to him. She burst into tears at that moment, but she didn't care. She wiped her tears roughly and hurriedly held Prince Duan's hand.
Xiao Cao happened to look away and didn't notice their reaction. While putting things away, he continued, "Some parts of this person's body are necrotic. To prevent the lesions from expanding, they can be directly removed or they can grow back on their own. Even if they can't grow back, it's not a big deal. But some parts are absolutely indispensable and can't grow back on their own, so they can only be replaced."
The man suddenly stopped in despair, his expression frozen on his face.
It's like being suddenly grabbed while falling rapidly. That feeling is definitely not pleasant.
Xiaocao raised his head and blinked. Hmm, what's going on
Emperor Xuanren unconsciously stroked his heart and said, "An Guo, next time you speak, say it all at once, don't be so scary."
No, Xiaocao felt that she was very wronged. She said it all at once without taking a break in between.
Emperor Xuanren then asked sternly, "Anguo, do you mean to replace the membrane on Prince Duan's eyes?"
Xiaocao nodded, "Yes." Corneal transplantation, the operation itself, is not difficult for Xiaocao now. The real problem is that he is worried about the rejection reaction after the operation. At least there is no targeted medicine yet. Of course, the donor still needs to be tested, but the conditions still do not allow it.
That is to say, the cornea does not need matching. But if it is other organs, we are really helpless and dare not even try.
"In that case, An Guo, you decide when it's appropriate to replace Prince Duan. Would a man of similar age and in good health be the most suitable candidate? Are there any special requirements?" Perhaps because of the example of himself being "cut open", Emperor Xuanren did not hesitate at all to accept such an incredible thing as changing the "eye mask".
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you mean to take it from a living person?" Even though Xiaocao had considered this possibility before, when Emperor Xuanren said this lightly, Xiaocao still found it hard to accept.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanren laughed with a hint of indifference, "Could it be that An Guo wants to take it from a dead person? If An Guo insists on doing so, it would be easy to take a dead person, but this dead person is somewhat unlucky."
Xiaocao's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Emperor Xuanren sighed, "An Guo, I know you are kind-hearted, but you have to know that the royal family is the royal family. Now that this matter has been spoken out, even if I don't say anything, soon, there will be dead people appearing in front of you, not just one or two, but many. Moreover, these people are not forced by others, but volunteered. It is their honor to have their eyes used by Prince Duan. Correspondingly, it will also bring great benefits to their close people. Instead of this, it is better to carefully choose one person. From now on, he will just be blind, and he will be properly taken care of and receive generous rewards. Believe me, if the news is released, there will be many, many people willing to do so."
Xiaocao knew very well that what Emperor Xuanren said was the real reality. Just by sacrificing a pair of eyes, one could get the grace of the royal family. Not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy families could put forward many people. She insisted on not taking it from a living person, which would be harming lives.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, Xiao Cao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, "In that case, let Father arrange it. There are no special requirements. The key is good health and no history of illness in the family. In other aspects, there are no big requirements.
However, there is one thing I need to explain to you, Father. It is well known how fragile the eyes are. Other parts of the body may have complications, and the eyes are no exception. Therefore, until the end, I... I, your son, cannot guarantee success.
In fact, it is hard to say how certain it is. Replacing this layer of 'eye mask' is simpler than the previous operation performed by my father, but the result..."
"Royal sister, please try your best. If it fails in the end, it can only mean that this is my fate and you can't blame anyone else." Prince Duan said, while reaching out to touch his eyes.
It seemed like the person who lost his composure before was not him. After all, he had too high expectations before. It was obvious that even if the new imperial sister's medical skills were much better than others, she might not be able to cure all diseases. If that were true, wouldn't the people who had been treated by her only die of old age and not of illness? In this case, she would not be a miracle doctor but a god.
However, his loss of composure only proves that he is just a human being. After being in the dark for several years, it is difficult for him to remain indifferent when he knows that he has a chance to see the light again, a chance to take revenge, and a chance to take back what belongs to him.
Having experienced despair once again, Prince Duan became more sober.
Compared to those who say "You must be able to do it, you must be able to do it even if you can't, and if you can't, you will be buried with me", both Emperor Xuanren and Prince Duan are obviously much better. They don't put psychological pressure on Xiaocao, so they will naturally try their best. Xiaocao also has a temper. If you really make her angry, she will do something secretly, and who would know
"Excessive emotional fluctuations will actually affect the physical condition. Your Majesty, it will be more beneficial to the treatment if you keep a normal mind."
Prince Duan raised the corner of his lips, "Since the Imperial Sister calls our Majesty Father, why is it that she is so unfamiliar with me? She should call me Brother."
Emperor Xuanren nodded, "It should be so."
The grass remained silent.
Prince Duan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Am I not worthy of being called brother by my younger sister?" He even pretended to be resentful.
"No, I'm mainly thinking about how many more brothers and sisters I have now." Looking at Emperor Xuanren, "By the way, how many children do you have now, father? It seems that quite a lot. When I see them in the future, they will all call me brother, sister, and younger sister. It's so tiring."
With her high status, more than 90% of the people who could have confidently approached her will become respectful. However, those who have become close to her will also take advantage of the relationship to get close to her. How can these people refuse
Emperor Xuanren, however, was not impressed and said with a smile, "I have told you before that you should learn to avoid mistakes."
Princess Fukang is the sister of Emperor Xuanren, and naturally the aunt of all the princes and princesses. Fan Wuguo is their cousin. Does Fan Wuguo have the same attitude towards them
hehe…
She did learn a lesson, but his situation was not applicable to her. Young Master Fan had no power behind him, but she was different. Moreover, the princes' attitudes towards Fan Wuguo must be different from their attitudes towards her. If they had a good attitude and smiled before speaking, she couldn't just throw silver needles at them, right
So, my current identity is indeed more troublesome!
Moreover, Your Majesty, you are really partial to your eldest son. I almost feel that he does not treat his other children as his own.
"Father, you are wrong. My sister is gentle and kind-hearted. How can she be compared with that brat Wuguo? - My sister doesn't need to worry too much. Just let it go. If it's about seeking medical treatment, I'm sure my sister will make her own decision. For other things, if you don't like it, just refuse it."
How could Prince Duan do such a thing as asking Xiaocao not to bother with other brothers? In Prince Duan's view, people like her only need to do their job well and do not need to get involved in too many things. Therefore, even if she might save his "mortal enemy" one day, he would not have any thoughts about it. He would just deal with those people in his own way.
It’s no wonder that Emperor Xuanren favors his eldest son. It’s because Prince Duan’s character is incomparable to that of other princes.
After hearing what Prince Duan said, Xiaocao finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Emperor Xuanren could be unreliable at times.
Xiaocao no longer cares about the selection of the "eye mask" donor, they just need to be prepared, so this is the end of the matter for now.
Prince Duan said goodbye to his wife, but Xiaocao stayed at Emperor Xuanren's place without moving. She didn't want to go out for social events. Just thinking about that scene made her feel overwhelmed. It was the "safest" place, and no one dared to come without permission.
