The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 406: 406 Blind

Chapter 406 406. Blindness

But why did he do this?

Want to point the finger at the eldest prince to sow discord?

His suspicion of the Ninth Prince has now spread to Concubine Wei and Duke Wei, so every time they make any move, their first reaction is the same.

The imperial physician came late at night, and when he saw that Duke Wei's eyelids were blue and purple, red and swollen, he frowned more than anyone else.

The silver needle penetrated too deep, Lord, Im afraid I cant save my eye.

After careful examination, the imperial doctor came to the conclusion that Duke Wei had never seen any big storms in his life. He only had one eye. As long as he could save his life, everything was fine.

Lets do it.

Since the eye is useless, it cannot be kept, otherwise it will infect other places and cause other problems, which will be even more difficult.

The tone was indifferent, as if it wasn't him who was about to put his eyes out, but someone else.

The imperial doctors couldn't help but admire the Duke of the country. After all, he was a man who had seen big events!

So he took out Ma Fei Powder and gave him some. After making all preparations, he raised the knife and saw that his left eye was dug out along with the silver needle.

"Fortunately, there is no poison on this silver needle, otherwise I'm afraid the poison would have spread all over my body by now."

The imperial doctor started to sew up the wound on his eye while talking.

Duke Wei Guo did not say a word during the whole process, but the scratch marks on the armchair, the dense beads of sweat on his forehead and his pale face all silently told the pain of gouging out his eyes.

At this moment, in addition to hating Zhu Hong, Duke Wei was also very dissatisfied with the stupid Liang Quanbin!

Incompetent bungler.

Since he was so useless, we simply killed him and disguised him so that the blame could be placed on him.

While the imperial doctor was suturing, his mind was full of thinking about how to deal with Liang Quanbin.

Poor Liang Quanbin, who was also seriously injured at this moment, had no idea that he would die in the hands of Duke Wei, who swore allegiance to him.

After the wound was sutured, the imperial physician prescribed medicine.

The first is to relieve pain, the second is to reduce inflammation, and the third is to calm the mind.

Duke Wei Guo was old and lost one of his eyes suddenly. Even in his prime, he might not be able to survive.

Unexpectedly, he could endure it so well. The imperial doctor felt more and more that the Wei family should not be messed with. If he could withstand this kind of pain, what else could he not do?

So, I became more diligent when serving.

In the palace, Emperor Qi had not fallen asleep since he learned about the assassination of Duke Wei, until the imperial doctor came to report that his left eye was seriously injured and had been gouged out. Not to mention Emperor Qi, even the king who was waiting beside him My father-in-law was surprised.

Really gouged out?

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen cut it out personally. The silver needle penetrated too deep, and Wei Chen was unable to turn back. To protect the life of the Duke, he could only take this action."

After hearing this, Emperor Qi sighed deeply and immediately ordered the princes and princes around him.

Quickly, send more healing elixirs from the palace to the Dukes Mansion. Also, go and tell the Duke in person, I will definitely not spare the assassin on this matter!

"yes!"

When he first learned the news, Emperor Qi was doubtful.

Now, Emperor Qi felt a lot more regret and sympathy for Duke Wei.

No one is a fool and uses one eye as bait. Besides, he is old. If he makes a careless move, wouldn't he lose his life?

So, Emperor Qi began to seriously think about it at this moment, whose force would the assassin be? What is the purpose of assassinating Duke Wei at this time?

This night, many people stayed up all night, both in the palace and in the homes of officials outside.

When he went to court on the second day, Bai Xiang, who had been recovering from illness for many days, actually appeared.

His face looks much better, and he looks energetic.

With him here, the Jin Dynasty seems to have a magic needle that can stabilize the sea. Even if the news of the assassination of Duke Wei last night caused people in the court to panic, they did not dare to discuss it too much at the moment.

Emperor Qi, who came to court, is also in a dark state.

If it weren't for tracking down the assassin today, he wouldn't have wanted to go to court earlier.

So when he saw Bai Xiang, like other ministers, he felt much more at ease.

Is Bai Xiang feeling well?

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am feeling much better.

Thats good, the Jin Dynasty cannot do without Xiang Bai, and so do I!

Put on your high hat first, and then talk about the assassination of Duke Wei.

What do you think of Bai Xiang?

So the courtiers all stared at Xiang Bai, wanting to know his opinion on the matter.

Then Prime Minister Bai shook his head and said, "The old minister has not gone to court, and he has been recovering from illness and seldom went out. Therefore, we only know about the assassination of Duke Wei now."

His words, although they are meant to be excused, are still reasonable.

Originally, he retired from the court to recuperate from illness. After Bai Chaoan left the court, there was indeed no one in the Bai family in the court. It seemed reasonable that he didn't know about this.

Di Qi felt a little worried in his heart, but he didn't feel good about it on his face.

Then he looked at the others and asked, "What do you think, dear friends?"

In the past, the good relationship with the Wei family was naturally attributed to Duke Wei's dedication and dedication. He must have accidentally offended someone to cause misfortune, and the word "who" is the most easily associated with people.

The Ninth Prince is now very powerful, and attacking Duke Wei is a blow to his wings. Needless to say, those people have intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Prince Ke's residence.

It's just that they didn't target the eldest prince first, but started from the Li clan, Princess Ke's natal family.

"We heard that many of the crop fields outside the city are not growing well this year due to too much rain. Most of the official families with grain fields in the court have reduced or exempted some grain levies for the tenant farmers. It was the Duke of Guo who took the lead in doing this. Yes, many people outside are saying that he is benevolent, but the Li family does not seem to think so. They did not care about the lives of the tenant farmers and still forcibly collected the grain rations from previous years, which caused a lot of public resentment."

These words were directed at Li, and naturally they were also directed at Prince Ke behind her.

So as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of the Grand Prince's Party started to attack.

"Master You is not afraid of flashing his tongue when speaking, and the gossips outside dare to bring nonsense in front of His Majesty. When did my Li family confiscate?"

Master Li, dont panic, your majesty will find someone to investigate whether I am forcibly paying it or not. Once you ask, you will know whether I am telling lies or not!

He is also a tough-necked person, and besides, this matter is the reason that Li brought to the door, how could they not take advantage of it!

Hearing this, Mr. Li felt a little guilty. Although he did not force the payment, when the housekeeper came to report the payment, he did say that it would be the same as in previous years.

At that time, he didn't know that the way of heaven had trampled the land like this, and now it had become their sharp sword to stab back!

Looking at his guilty look, the Ninth Prince's faction became even more vicious and wanted to take advantage of your illness to kill you. How could it be better to destroy the majesty of the First Prince's Party at this time?
