I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 390 - 303: Eyes

After an unknown length of time, Xie Yun slowly opened his eyes to a strange room. Just the slightest movement of his arm sent a stinging pain that almost made him faint again.

"Teacher is awake!"

"Teacher, you are finally awake!"

The sound of two familiar voices rang out. He endured the intense pain and moved his fingers—yes, he could move them.

Xie Yun turned his head and saw Geng Tao and Wei Lan leaning on his bedside, both with red noses and tearful eyes.

Wei Lan’s eyes were swollen from crying. The last time he saw her in such a state was when the handsome Fourth Young Master from the North City Li Family was disfigured by a fire.

He wouldn’t also... Xie Yun was startled inside, but after feeling around, he was relieved that his face was fine.

Even the usually calm, small adult-like Geng Tao had slightly reddened eyes at this moment.

"Where is this place?" Xie Yun found the place familiar, but couldn’t remember it momentarily.

Geng Tao, after calling out to him, ran out to fetch the doctor.

Wei Lan, while wiping her tears, said, "Wuwuwu, it was Sister Geng Tao who saw you hadn’t returned and begged Brother Lan to bring us into the palace. You’ve been lying here for a day and a night. I even thought you were dead!"

Two elders dressed in Imperial Physician robes followed Geng Tao inside. One checked his pulse while the other examined Xie Yun’s wounds.

"Am I in the Imperial Hospital?"

The grey-haired old imperial doctor nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Xie, you were assassinated by thugs at the Second Prince’s residence and were brought into the palace by Commander Song. In a hurry, we imperial doctors were consulted."

Xie Yun was momentarily stunned as memories before he lost consciousness slowly flooded back to him.

He was giving Rong Qijun a lesson,

when he was attacked by assassins,

the assassins were likely sent by the Crown Prince,

but Rong Qijun had planned it. He brought in Song Zhi to save himself, and he himself became the hapless victim... Right, Rong Qijun originally wanted to use the Crown Prince’s men to eliminate him.

Then someone struck his arm...

Xie Yun’s expression darkened. The pain in his left arm confirmed that everything was not an illusion.

"My arm, it won’t be paralyzed, will it—" he frowned. Besides the pain in his arm, he didn’t feel discomfort elsewhere.

Xie Yun was somewhat suspicious that, having been unconscious for a day and a night, he might have just... fallen asleep. Of course, such a thing should never be known to Geng Tao and Wei Lan; otherwise, they might pass out from anger on the spot.

The imperial doctor said, "No need to worry, my lord. Although your left arm was cut by the thug, it didn’t harm the bone, and we’ve already stitched it up. As long as you replace the gauze and medicine as instructed, it won’t be an issue... However, with regards to the scar, I’m afraid we’re powerless to remove it."

Hearing this, Wei Lan pouted disdainfully, "Xie Yun, you have a scar now. You’re not handsome anymore."

Xie Yun twitched a corner of his mouth and said, "Mind your manners. It’s ’Teacher,’ understood? Besides, a man should have some scars."

Geng Tao let out a cold snicker, "You didn’t say that before you had scars."

Xie Yun: "..." He smiled wryly, helplessly unable to handle these kids.

Geng Tao gazed at Xie Yun’s pale, handsome face, a well-hidden infatuation flickering in her eyes.

After a while, Xie Yun finally understood and learned that it was Wei Lan who had gone next door to sob incessantly, prompting Gu Lan to send the two girls into the Imperial Hospital. They had indeed watched over him for a day and a night.

"May I ask, Imperial Doctor Sun, how are the Second Prince and Commander Song? Have the masterminds been found out?" Xie Yun inquired.

Imperial Doctor Sun’s expression grew heavier, causing Xie Yun’s heart to sink.

Could the Second Prince really have met his end, killed by the Crown Prince? If so, then wasn’t his injury in vain?

When a nation has only one Prince left, he cannot die as long as he doesn’t rebel.

The Crown Prince dared to assassinate the Second Prince in broad daylight, perhaps with this intention.

If the Second Prince were truly dead, the Crown Prince could destroy the evidence and deny it happened, and the matter would be left unresolved—because if he were punished for slaughtering his brothers, Dayan wouldn’t have a Crown Prince...

"The Second Prince is fine!" said Imperial Doctor Sun. "He was merely startled and has returned home."

Xie Yun exhaled in relief, but thinking about Imperial Doctor Sun’s previous expression, his heart tensed up again: "What about Commander Song?"

The last scene before he lost consciousness was Song Zhi protecting him. From what the imperial doctors just said, it was Song Zhi who brought him to the Imperial Hospital. Regardless, that man had become his lifesaver.

Imperial Doctor Sun let out a deep sigh.

"He... no, since he managed to bring me here, he should be alright!" Xie Yun’s heart tightened suddenly, murmuring.

Imperial Doctor Sun said gravely, "Sigh, Commander Song’s left eye was hit by a stray arrow... He’s blind."

Xie Yun’s pupils contracted slightly. He felt all the blood in his body freeze for a moment, and he could only hoarsely respond, "Blind?"

Imperial Doctor Sun said, "To protect the Second Prince and you, he fought with all his might. After getting you to the Imperial Hospital, he passed out, and just woke up an hour before you did. At this moment, he should be in Qianyuan Hall, reporting the matter to His Majesty."

With his high level of martial arts, Song Zhi would never have lost an eye if not for protecting him and Rong Qijun.

Xie Yun’s thin lips formed a straight line. His long, narrow eyes gradually filled with a chilling light, mumbling to himself: "Rong Qichun, it’s over." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Imperial Doctor Sun, upon hearing the Crown Prince’s name, stiffened slightly and then whispered, "Indeed, there are rumors inside and outside the palace now that the Crown Prince is the prime suspect. The Second Prince seems to have some evidence, and His Majesty has not acted, waiting for you and Commander Song to awaken."

Recalling Song Zhi’s pure, cold eyes, Xie Yun’s nose tingled, and he raised a hand to cover his face.

That beautiful eye, gone?

Rong Qichun,

Rong Qijun,

they don’t deserve to win!

In Qianyuan Hall, the scent of ambergris was so strong it was almost suffocating. The silent palace hall was utterly soundless.

Zhang Fengcai knelt on the ground, shivering like a quail.

Rong Jing stared at Song Zhi, whose eye was covered with white cloth, with his peach blossom eyes trembling slightly. His eyes held unspoken sorrow, bleakness, and resentment...

"It’s the first time Your Majesty has looked at your minister for so long," Song Zhi raised his hand, touching his throbbing eye socket, his lips ice cold as he curled into a faint smile. "Your minister is very satisfied."

His laugh was pure and clean, with the remaining phoenix eye gentle and clear, like the vast and bright autumn sky.

In a daze, Rong Jing saw Sanliang in his youth overlapping with Song Zhi.

Many years ago, he had spent three liang of silver on the streets of Yan Capital to buy a dying little beggar, casually naming him... Sanliang.

Later, that little beggar became a mighty commander who stood before him and said his name was Song Zhi and that he was willing to do anything for him.

Sanliang laughed just like that, gentle and persistent, with no hidden emotions, wholly and utterly, with eyes only for him.

After all these years, Song Zhi had never changed.

But he himself,

was no longer the naive and proud Crown Prince Rong Jing of the past.
