Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2104: All for Nothing

"Empress Mother, Empress Mother, please calm down, calm down. I truly am Xuanxuan. If you don’t believe me, feel my face." The Fourth Prince slowly approached the Empress, took her hand, and gently placed it on his cheek.

The Empress’ expression shifted from panic to genuinely squeezing his cheek. It was smooth, without the rough texture of a Human Skin Mask, allowing her to look at the Fourth Prince directly and ask hesitantly, "You... You really are Xuanxuan?"

"Empress Mother, it’s me. I truly am Xuanxuan. When I was young, you used to sing to help me sleep, and I remember it vividly." After speaking, the Fourth Prince sang a few lines softly.

"You really are Xuanxuan." The Empress began crying and laughing: "What happened to your eyes? I saw with my own eyes the Imperial Physician remove them, how come now...?"

"Empress Mother, don’t be afraid. I’ve met a Divine Doctor who healed me."

"This... This... Eyes that were taken out can be healed?"

"Yes, he is a Divine Doctor. Nothing is impossible."

"Is there really such a powerful Divine Doctor in the world?"

"Yes, Empress Mother, look, my eyes truly have healed."

"Really? Xuanxuan, that’s wonderful. I’ve been worried to death."

As the mother and son held each other and wept bitterly, a person stood quietly at the door, listening for a long time, before silently leaving.

The palace maids originally wanted to inform the Empress, but seeing her and the Fourth Prince crying together, they couldn’t bear to interrupt.

The Empress wiped her eyes and said, "Xuanxuan, since your eyes have healed, why are you still wearing that unsightly eye patch? You scared me."

Fourth Prince: "Empress Mother, my eyes have not fully healed yet and need some time, so I still need to wear the eye patch for a while. I wanted to surprise you once I was completely healed, but now...!"

"Xuanxuan, you must be more careful this time, don’t eat the wrong things again."

When the Fourth Prince’s eyes were injured, the Imperial Physician clearly stated that his eyes were fine and would recover after a few days of rest. Later, his eyes became inflamed, and the Imperial Physician said it was caused by eating the wrong things.

"I endured so much suffering, all because of that damned War Prince. Once I ascend to the throne, I will surely execute him, along with that vile Situtu Xueer." The Fourth Prince clenched his teeth as he touched the scar on his neck.

Indeed, during the last hunting trip, the Fourth Prince was inexplicably injured in the eyes. Although there was no evidence at the time, other than Long Rui, there was no one else with the skill, so the Fourth Prince was convinced that Long Rui was responsible for blinding his eyes. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Xuanxuan."

Suddenly, the Empress solemnly grabbed the Fourth Prince’s hand, saying, "Xuanxuan, you must promise me not to provoke the War Prince. With our current power, we are not his match."

The Empress’ concern was well understood by the Fourth Prince; she feared the Prime Minister’s past incident would recur, and she had become much more cautious in her actions.

"It’s wonderful, Xuanxuan’s eyes have finally healed." The Empress murmured, "We no longer need to support the Second Prince to become Crown Prince."

Supporting the Second Prince was fraught with concerns for the Empress, firstly fearing he might learn about her involvement in his Mother Consort’s death, and secondly, worrying that he might turn ungrateful if he became Crown Prince. Wouldn’t all her efforts then be in vain?

Now, everything is resolved with the Fourth Prince’s eyes healed.

The Empress said joyfully, "Xuanxuan, today I am truly happy. Stay and dine with me?"

Fourth Prince: "Alright!"
