Chapter 7 Serious Injury
In the prince's bedroom, the imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground were trembling with fear, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would say something wrong and anger Emperor Xuanyuan, and end up with their heads and bodies separated.
"How is the prince?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked anxiously, his eyes revealing his concern for the prince's injury. Although he thought he was not a competent father, he was his own flesh and blood after all, and he really couldn't bear to see Xuanyuan Ruize get hurt. Especially when he saw the prince being carried back to the palace covered in blood and dying, he felt indescribable pain and self-blame in his heart.
At this moment, Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but think of the late queen, who was once the woman he loved deeply, but eventually left him. The relationship between them was like a candle in the wind, shaky. However, before the late queen died, she was still stubborn and unwilling to meet him, which made Emperor Xuanyuan feel guilty and helpless.
"Your Majesty, the prince is seriously injured, with wounds of varying sizes all over his body. Although medicine has been applied, so many wounds can easily cause high fever, and the situation is extremely critical." An imperial physician replied in a trembling voice.
In this era, high fever was undoubtedly a deadly threat, and even in the palace, there was a lack of effective treatment. People could only rely on their own resistance to resist high fever, which was almost an impossible task for seriously injured people. Therefore, the imperial doctors were helpless and could only hope for a miracle.
The emperor's voice was filled with endless majesty and anger, as if it was going to shatter the entire palace: "I don't want to hear your nonsense! As long as the prince is alive, you are alive! If anything happens to the prince, all of you will be buried with him!"
As the saying goes, "living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. If you are not careful, you will lose your life." In ancient society, the emperor's authority was supreme. His words could decide the life and death of countless people, and even cause large-scale killings and disasters.
The imperial doctors in the room looked helpless. Facing the emperor's rage, they were powerless. After all, this was the emperor, and their lives and deaths depended on the emperor's whim.
The imperial doctors replied in unison: "We obey your order."
The imperial doctors knew that their lives might be in danger at any time while working in the palace. Although they responded respectfully on the surface, they were filled with helplessness and fear in their hearts.
At this moment, the three princes who were still guarding outside the Crown Prince's bedroom looked at each other, and their eyes revealed a message - is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really dying?
After hearing the news, people had different reactions. Some were secretly happy, some were worried, and most were indifferent.
Emperor Xuanyuan stayed in the prince's bedroom for a while, then stood up and left. At this time, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, who were still waiting outside, hurried forward to greet him.
"Your son greets you, father!" they said in unison.
"No need to bow. You are all so thoughtful." Emperor Xuanyuan looked at his three sons with a rare kind expression. He really hoped that the prince could stand in front of him in good health like them.
"Father, don't worry too much. We believe that our sixth brother will be able to turn danger into safety. This assassination attempt was so dangerous, but he was able to escape death. A mere injury is nothing to him." The eldest prince comforted Emperor Xuanyuan.
Emperor Xuanyuan nodded slightly, "Well, I hope so." His eyes swept over his three sons one by one, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. The eldest prince was calm, the third prince was smart and witty, and the fourth prince was kind and gentle, each with his own strengths. If the crown prince could not inherit the throne, who among these three could take on this important task?
"You all should go back and have a rest. I am tired too." Emperor Xuanyuan turned and left, leaving his three sons looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Brother, it seems we should make plans early." The third prince looked at the eldest prince meaningfully.
A trace of vigilance flashed in the eyes of the eldest prince, "Third brother, what do you mean by that? As the eldest son, I will put the overall situation first."
"Haha, I'm just reminding you, brother, not to forget our agreement." The third prince said with a smile.
"Humph, of course I remember. However, everything still needs to be considered carefully." The eldest prince replied coldly and turned away.
The fourth prince was left alone, looking at their receding backs, deep in thought...
In the bedroom, Xuanyuan Ruize, who was about to fall asleep, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he felt Emperor Xuanyuan leave. In fact, his injury was not as serious as everyone thought. After all, it was much more serious three days ago. But after Sang Zhi's medication, he has gotten much better. As for why he had to pretend, it was naturally because he had his own plans.
He had suffered so much pain this time that he didn't even want the position of crown prince anymore, so why should he be so stubborn? Although he had medicine to cure it, being seriously injured once would also bring him a lot of benefits. So he decided to continue pretending to be seriously injured and not recovered.
In the next few days, all kinds of precious supplements and healing medicines were sent to his bedroom like water, including some extremely rare medicinal materials. These were sent by the princes and concubines, who hoped to please Xuanyuan Ruize in this way and gain more benefits.
Of course, Xuanyuan Ruize knew what these people were thinking. But for him, the attitude of Emperor Xuanyuan was more important. As long as he was not sick from this injury, he believed that with his father's love for him, he would be able to be a free and easy prince, right? In this way, he would no longer have to bear the heavy responsibility of being a crown prince, and could live the life he wanted freely.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Ruize also began to think about what gifts he should prepare for the next time he went to Sang Chi's world. Since Sister Sang carried medicine with her, she must know about medicinal herbs. Thinking of this, his eyes fell on the medicinal herbs sent by the princes and consorts, and he secretly decided in his heart: "Next time I go to Sister Sang's world, I must bring more gifts. Sister Sang will definitely like these medicinal herbs sent by the princes and consorts!"
Xuanyuan Ruize, who was thinking secretly in his heart, didn't know that Emperor Xuanyuan had gone crazy outside again because of his injury.
Emperor Xuanyuan was furious in the court and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. He also stated that if the murderer could not be found, all those involved would be severely punished. For a time, people in the court and the country were in panic.
"Xiao Yi, you are responsible for cooperating with the people in the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the crown prince. As for those few survivors, find a way to get the words out of their mouths."
"Subordinate to the order"
Xiao Yi has been staying up for several days without closing his eyes, because he dare not relax at all. If the Crown Prince's issue is not resolved, he will have no face to face his sister in the underworld!
The prince was the only bloodline left by his sister, and he hadn't protected him well. He felt ashamed! So even without Emperor Xuanyuan's order, he would have investigated the matter to the end.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Ruize's "illness" did not improve at all, and the imperial doctors were helpless. Emperor Xuanyuan became more and more anxious and visited his son every day.
At the same time, each palace and prince's residence has its own thoughts. If the crown prince dies, then they will have a chance. There is only one position of crown prince, and who wouldn't want to compete for that high position?
Now Xuanyuan Ruize doesn't want to think about that. He is trying hard to think of how to get rid of the position of crown prince and become a free and easy prince!
