Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2105: Eyes Healed
"By the way, Xuanxuan, the Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. Go quickly to explain the matters that happened in the fourth prince’s mansion, and don’t make him angry, understand?"
The Fourth Prince’s eyes were healed, and the Empress was overjoyed. Since the incident with the Prime Minister, this was the happiest event.
"Yes, Empress Mother." The Fourth Prince stood up and put on the eye patch again.
"Xuanxuan, since your eyes are healed, you don’t need to wear it." Looking at the eye patch on the Fourth Prince’s face, the Empress found it very unsightly. She had fallen seriously ill over this eye of the Fourth Prince, almost losing her own life.
"Empress Mother, didn’t I tell you before? My eye has not fully recovered; I still need to wear the eye patch for a while longer."
"Oh, right, right, the Empress Mother forgot. Xuanxuan, be careful in everything you do."
"Empress Mother, please don’t tell the Second Imperial Brother about my eye recovery."
"I understand, I got it."
The Empress nodded knowingly. Previously, when the Fourth Prince was incapacitated, she had to rely on the Second Prince to hold the position she dreamed of, so she naturally obeyed him in everything. Now that the Fourth Prince was back to normal, the Second Prince naturally had no use. She would abandon this pawn sooner or later.
Empress: "The Emperor will surely be delighted to know that your eyes are healed. Go and tell him."
Fourth Prince: "Ah! Absolutely!"
Imperial Study Room.
The Emperor was initially very angry, but upon hearing the Fourth Prince’s eyes were healed, his anger turned to joy in an instant...
"Xuanxuan, quickly, let me take a look."
The Fourth Prince removed the eye patch and said, "Imperial Father, my eyes have not fully recovered. They can’t be exposed to light for too long, and I will need to put the eye patch back on in a moment."
"Alright, alright, just let your Imperial Father take a look."
The Emperor, having not witnessed the Imperial Physician removing the Fourth Prince’s eye, was naturally not as terrified as the Empress was.
The Fourth Prince’s eyes were perfectly intact, and the Emperor was naturally extremely happy, even lightening the weight of the homicide at the fourth prince’s mansion considerably.
"My Imperial Son, now that your eyes have recovered, be mindful of your words and actions. Otherwise, even if I entrust you with the heavy burdens, others will not be convinced."
The Emperor’s implicit meaning was that he was inclined to grant him the position of Crown Prince.
The Fourth Prince was delighted upon hearing this. He knew well that the Emperor had favored him since childhood. As long as his eyes recovered, none of the other princes would be his match.
Fourth Prince: "Your son heeds your teachings."
The Emperor was very pleased, saying, "Hmm, my Imperial Son is fortunate indeed. Even with your eyes in such a condition, the Divine Doctor was able to cure them."
The Emperor initially intended to reprimand the Fourth Prince, but after learning about his eyes’ recovery, he was so preoccupied with joy that he forgot all about the homicide case at the fourth prince’s mansion until the Fourth Prince was about to leave.
"My Imperial Son."
"Yes."
The Fourth Prince, who had already reached the door, turned his head toward the Emperor: "Imperial Father, is there anything else?"
"The matter of the fourth prince’s mansion?"
"Imperial Father, the government office is currently investigating. As soon as there is news, your son will immediately send someone to report to you."
"Very well, you may go back now, and be careful in all things."
"Your son takes his leave."
"Hmm." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
The Emperor waved his hand, and the Fourth Prince exited, preparing to return to Fengyang Palace to dine with the Empress. On his way, he encountered the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince had entered the palace to pay respects to Noble Consort Wang.
Recently, with the incapacitation of the Fourth Prince, followed by the incident with the Prime Minister, Noble Consort Wang was very pleased, believing it was Heaven giving the Eldest Prince a chance at ascension.
Indeed, due to the Prime Minister’s influence, Noble Consort Wang had been suppressed by the Empress for many years, despite her son being the Eldest Prince. Owing to her maternal family’s weaker position compared to the Prime Minister, she was at a slight disadvantage.
