The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 406 406. Blindness

But why did he do this?

Want to point the finger at the eldest prince and 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 doctor 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 pierced too deeply, Mr. Guo, I'm afraid I can't save my eye."

After careful examination, the imperial doctor came to the conclusion that Duke Wei Guo 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.

"Let's 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.

His tone was indifferent, as if it wasn't him who was going to have his eyes gouged out, but someone else.

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

So I took out some 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 didn't say a word the whole time, 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.

Anyway, this time he had to cut off his tail to survive. Since he was so unusable, we simply killed him and pretended to put all the blame 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 doctor prescribed medicine.

One is to relieve pain, the other is to reduce inflammation, and the third is to calm the mind.

Duke Wei was old and suddenly lost an eye. 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?

Therefore, 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 dug it out himself. The silver needle penetrated too deeply. Wei Chen was unable to turn back. He had to take this action to protect the life of the Duke."

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 Duke's Mansion. Also, go and tell the Duke in person, I will definitely not let the assassin go free!"

"yes!"

If it were said that 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?

Therefore, 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?

That 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, unexpectedly 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.

After going to court, Emperor Qi was also in a dark state.

If it wasn'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."

"That's good. Dajin cannot live without Prime Minister Bai, and so do I!"

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

"What do you think, Xiang Bai?"

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

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

Although his words were meant to be a pretext, they were also justified.

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.

Emperor Qi was a little worried in his heart, but he didn't feel relieved on his face.

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

In the past, the good relationship with the Wei family was naturally attributed to Duke Wei's dedication and dedication. He must have unintentionally 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.

However, they did not target the eldest prince first, but the Li clan members of 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 Mrs. 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 he speaks, and the gossips outside dare to make nonsense in front of His Majesty. When did my Li family forcibly confiscate?"

"Master Li, don't panic, your Majesty will find someone to investigate whether I am forced to pay it or not. Once you ask, you will know whether I am telling lies or not!"

He also has a stiff neck, and besides, this matter was brought to the door by Li, 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 it, he did say that it would be as per 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 trying to stab him back!

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