Prince Duan pulled his brother to sit next to him and asked him about the recent situation in a gentle voice.
Although the Twelfth Prince's life was not very satisfactory, it was not bad either. No one dared to deduct what was due to him. Not to mention that he had Emperor Xuanren to keep him in check, no matter what kind of trouble he might cause, no one dared to go too far. Besides, the fact that Prince Duan was blind did not mean that he had no prestige at all. Not to mention other things, but when it came to his own brother, he could not just ignore it.
The Twelfth Prince remained silent for a long time, and it seemed that Prince Duan was the only one performing a one-man show. However, Prince Duan seemed to be accustomed to such situations and did not make any extra comments.
The servants saw it but also had no reaction. It seemed that this was really the normal state of the brothers getting along with each other.
At the end, the twelfth prince finally spoke, "I'm fine, brother, don't worry. But... brother, how are your eyes?"
After hearing the words of the twelfth prince, not only Prince Duan, but everyone else was surprised. However, Prince Duan did not show it at all. "I feel pretty good now, but according to An Guo's words, the details will depend on the recovery later."
Before, the others didn't get a word of truth, but as soon as the twelfth prince opened his mouth, Prince Duan said without hesitation that the differential treatment should not be too obvious. This made the twelfth prince very happy. Being trusted unconditionally like this, he couldn't help but smile, "As long as it develops in a good direction, it's also very good."
In just two or three sentences, the rift between the two brothers seemed to have melted a little. However, the ice is three feet thick and it didn't form overnight. Breaking the ice will not be accomplished in a short time. It is good enough to take a step forward.
Prince Duan didn't take it seriously, but others were a little worried. What if the twelfth prince told others about Prince Duan's situation
After the twelfth prince left, the people below couldn't help but ask this question.
Prince Duan smiled indifferently, "He is my brother, so I naturally trust him."
Little did he know that the Twelfth Prince was still outside at this moment. Because he met Princess Duan, it was impolite for him to leave without even saying hello. Princess Duan loved the Twelfth Prince so much that no matter what she thought in her heart, at least on the surface, she always treated the Twelfth Prince as her younger brother. When she saw him, she naturally asked a few questions like Prince Duan did. With a slight delay, he heard what was said inside.
The twelfth prince pursed his lips and lowered his head without saying a word. Princess Duan smiled gently and said nothing more. "Go ahead, twelfth brother. If you need anything, come to me. Your brother should be living in the palace for a short time."
The twelfth prince nodded, then left in a hurry, looking a little embarrassed.
Princess Duan pretended not to see anything and walked in as usual.
Some people have tried to sow discord between the brothers of the Twelfth Prince and Prince Duan in the past. Today, since they failed to get any news from Prince Duan, they naturally did not target the Twelfth Prince. However, the Twelfth Prince today seemed to be difficult to deal with. He would not say anything and would just give you a cold face. It was the same for anyone who came, even those who were close in age and had a good relationship with him. It would have been fine if Prince Duan was not mentioned. Once he was mentioned, he would immediately turn hostile.
Still no details were available, but some people speculated based on his attitude. Of course, these speculations led to two completely different results: First, as they wished, Prince Duan was fine, and he had no chance at all. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to mention it at all; second, even if he and Prince Duan had a bad relationship, they were from the same mother after all, so no matter how bad they were, there was still a 30% chance. Prince Duan's current situation was not very good, so he was in a very bad mood.
Actually, after all, there are only two results: good or bad, so it is useless to guess.
However, they would not be at ease until they figured it out, so they tried every possible way to find the answer. Prince Duan was very tight-lipped, Princess Anguo could not see anyone, and with the support of Emperor Xuanren, they did not dare to act rashly. On the one hand, the ladies stepped in to get information from Princess Duan, and then looked for clues from other places. The most intuitive point was the emotional expressions of those around Prince Duan and the people in Duke Zhencheng'en's mansion.
To be honest, all of these are within a reasonable range. However, someone actually found Zhen Muyao to complain when she is still in confinement after giving birth. It is really speechless. Moreover, given Zhen Muyao's personality, wouldn't it be like looking for trouble if he went to complain to her
While these people were doing all kinds of tricks, Xiaocao was removing the gauze for Prince Duan.
After the gauze was removed, we would have a certain idea of what the specific situation would be. Therefore, almost all the people who had been watching the operation or waiting for the previous two days gathered again, and even a queen mother was added.
Xiao Cao carefully removed the gauze one circle at a time. When it was completely removed, Prince Duan closed his eyes. The people around him were nervous, and it was obvious that Prince Duan was also nervous. "Your Highness, try to open your eyes slowly. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time."
Prince Duan exhaled lightly and slowly opened his eyes. The scene in front of him came into his sight bit by bit. Although his eyes still felt uncomfortable, he couldn't help but burst out with strong joy at this moment. He looked at the people in front of him one by one, "Father, grandmother, princess, grandfather..."
"I saw it, I really saw it..."
At this moment, even Emperor Xuanren could not suppress his joy.
While Prince Duan was recognizing people, Xiao Cao retreated a little. At this time, he did not pour cold water on him. Instead, he took this opportunity to carefully check Prince Duan's eyes. They were a little red and looked slightly inflamed. In fact, it was better than expected and the situation was under control.
It’s just that the rejection reaction mainly occurs around the fourth to eighteenth month after the operation. It usually does not happen within ten days, and it rarely occurs within the next two to three months, so it is naturally not visible now.
Although it is not right to be happy so early, it does not seem good to say discouraging words at this time. Forget it, even if they are happy, the rejection reaction will take some time after all. What if it doesn't happen by then
Prince Duan finally fixed his gaze on Xiaocao. Although he had never seen Xiaocao before, it was obvious who this new face, this young girl, could be.
"Imperial sister," Prince Duan stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you very much for this."
Xiao Cao quickly supported him and said, "Your Majesty, this is too much for me."
"No way? Why not? If it weren't for you, Prince Duan would have lived in darkness all his life. You've been so kind to him, so there's no reason why you can't do it. Anguo, just bear with it." Emperor Xuanren said indifferently.
Xiao Cao was a little helpless, "Father, I've said it before, it's too early. Prince Duan's eyes are just the beginning. The rejection reaction I mentioned before..."
Emperor Xuanren waved his hand, "Doesn't that mean it won't happen in the short term? For some things, you don't have to look so far ahead. It's okay to look at the present more. Besides, if it starts well, who says it can't keep getting better? We all believe in your medical skills."
"Father, this rejection reaction is not something that my medical skills can control. The most I can do is to reduce the rejection as much as possible, but if the rejection is too strong, I will..."
"Okay, Anguo, I'm very happy today, so don't talk about things that might happen in a few months, okay? What if nothing happens by then? Wouldn't it be a waste of worry?"
"Okay, Father, you are right. I won't say anything more." There is really no point in arguing about this now.
"That's good." Emperor Xuanren smiled, as if he was talking to a child, and the others couldn't help laughing along with him.
Xiao Cao was infected by this atmosphere and couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't forget the business. "Your Highness, can I check your eyes again?" After Prince Duan nodded, Xiao Cao approached and carefully looked at the condition of Prince Duan's eyes. Then he asked Prince Duan some questions and took him outside to test his vision. "Luckily, there is no damage in the eyes. There is a slight inflammation, but it doesn't matter. It will heal in a few days. If there is no rejection reaction in the future, then this pair of 'eye masks' can basically be used for life.
Speaking of this, I will also tell you about the symptoms of rejection, which mainly include blurred vision, decreased vision, fear of light, and frequent tears. Sometimes, the eyeballs may become congested. Although these symptoms will not occur in the short term, no one can guarantee that they will not occur. Therefore, if you encounter these symptoms, you must send someone to tell me in time. Do not delay. Remember this, Your Majesty.
Prince Duan chuckled, "Don't worry, my sister. I never dared to think about seeing it again. Now that I have it back, I will naturally cherish it even more and will do everything according to your request."
"That would be great."
You need to continue taking this medicine. Xiaocao has also prepared eye drops. You need to avoid light, rest more and use your eyes less in the near future. Xiaocao has also listed some foods that can help your eyes recover. In short, it covers all aspects, great detail.
It sounded a bit long-winded, but no one was impatient, especially the servants around Prince Duan and Princess Duan, who wished Xiaocao could say it several times more and memorize her words word for word.
Okay, with their attitude, Xiaocao felt that it was really unnecessary for her to worry so much.
After giving the instructions, they went about their business. Although, before leaving, Emperor Xuanren said that he wanted to set up a table in the evening to celebrate, which was not like the behavior of an emperor.
But everyone feels the same way, so it's understandable.
But doing this is almost equivalent to announcing that Prince Duan’s eyesight is “healed”. Others won’t have to work so hard to find out, and they can get the result so easily. What will they think
