Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 441: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 13

After a long time, the court doctor finally raised his head, sighed softly, and slowly said:

"Third Miss, your face only had some minor scratches, but for some reason, it was stained with a little pollen. In my opinion, this is probably a symptom of a pollen allergy."

The court doctor examined it carefully again and added:

"This isn't just an ordinary allergy, it's quite serious! It's already starting to ulcerate and ooze pus."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

The court doctor then asked, "Miss San, are you scratching because you can't stand the itch?"

Feng Zhining's face was filled with anxiety, and he quickly replied:

"Yes, doctor, it was so itchy that I couldn't help it. But I didn't scratch it directly with my hands. I just patted it a few times through a handkerchief. Is this okay?"

Feng Zhining knew in her heart that she couldn't touch the wound directly, so when she felt itchy, she tried her best to endure it.

Only when it is really unbearable will I pat it gently through the handkerchief to slightly relieve the indescribable discomfort.

However, the court doctor shook his head and explained seriously:

"Normally, this might not be a big deal, but this time it's different. Your face is stained with pollen, and patting it through a handkerchief has made it easier for the pollen to penetrate deeper into your skin, aggravating your condition. That's why it's become so serious now."

After hearing this, Feng Zhining's face turned pale and panicked. He quickly asked, "Then... what should we do now?"

"Yeah, what should we do?" Chang was so shocked that she covered her mouth to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.

She glanced at the wound on Feng Zhining's face and then looked away.

It's simply unbearable to look at. It's so disgusting that it makes one's stomach churn.

Chang turned her head and couldn't help but feel an irrepressible joy in her heart.

Look at Feng Zhining's current state. What future does she have?

I guess her sister-in-law must have completely given up on her and abandoned her like a worn-out shoe, right?

If I think about it this way, wouldn’t my daughter have a chance?

Thinking of this, Chang's mouth corners rose slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

She slowly lowered her eyes, deliberately hiding the subtle calculation in her eyes.

Before Yuan Wei could take revenge on the Third Prince, this prince, who had always been very successful in the court, suddenly found himself unable to take care of himself.

First, someone impeached him for his extravagant lifestyle and wasteful spending, and then he was reprimanded by the emperor for making mistakes in his work.

What's worse is that the power he had painstakingly cultivated over the years began to run into problems one after another.

Those chess pieces that were originally buried deep in the dark surfaced one after another and were gradually exposed to everyone.

At this moment, the ministers in the court just woke up from their dream and were shocked to find that the power of the third prince had already penetrated deeply into every corner of the court like an invisible net.

Even the usually calm emperor couldn't help but feel frightened at this moment.

If we let it develop for a few more years, will the throne change hands?

The emperor, filled with fear, acted decisively and began to suppress his ambitious third son.

For a time, not only was the Third Prince in a state of panic, but even the Crown Prince and other princes were affected and were scolded harshly in front of the Emperor.

The entire court was suddenly shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Yuan Wei knew that Yuan Jingsi had begun to take action.

With her current status, she is unable to touch upon the intricate and treacherous power struggles in the court.

The original owner's grandfather and father would tell her about what happened in the court, but they would usually analyze it for her afterwards.

When they were really in a struggle, they usually avoided the original owner, not wanting her to be involved.

Yuan Wei doesn't want to change anything now, so she won't take the initiative to get involved.

However, she can still do her part in terms of public opinion.

Before long, news about the Third Prince's romantic affairs and his obvious ambitions spread like wildfire throughout the major teahouses and restaurants in the capital.

For example, the Third Prince spent a fortune in Qingfeng Tower to get a beautiful woman to smile;

Or perhaps the Third Prince was having a secret rendezvous with a beauty in the palace;

There were even rumors that the Third Prince secretly planted spies in the palaces of officials in order to win over them...

It is difficult to tell whether these things are true or false, but each one is told so vividly and vividly that almost no one doubts their authenticity.

Especially when some officials secretly investigated based on the so-called spy list accidentally leaked from the teahouse, they discovered that the people mentioned in the list were people from their mansion, and they were indeed all the Third Prince's men!

As a result, people's belief in these rumors has suddenly reached its peak.

Inside the palace, Emperor Jingwu's face was ashen, and he was emitting waves of coldness all over his body. The eunuch Liu Yong who was serving beside him couldn't help but shiver.

A suffocating silence permeated the entire palace.

If the Third Prince were standing here at this moment, the Emperor would probably draw his sword and pierce his heart without hesitation in his rage!

Emperor Jingwu asked Liu Yong with a tone as cold as ice: "Who is the beauty who is having a secret meeting with the Third Prince?!"

When Liu Yong, who was standing below, heard these words, his body trembled violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He lowered his head quickly and replied:

"Your Majesty, we have yet to discover who this beauty is. Furthermore, the rumors circulating around her don't clearly identify her. Perhaps..."

Having said that, Liu Yong raised his head cautiously and quickly glanced at the majestic and cold face of Emperor Jingwu, thinking of all the benefits that the third prince had promised him before.

After struggling for a while, he finally mustered up the courage to add, "Maybe this is just some unfounded rumor."

Emperor Jingwu was obviously not satisfied with this explanation.

He sneered and said mockingly, "Oh, are all the rumors true, and only the news about the secret meeting with the beauty is fabricated out of thin air?"

As he spoke, Emperor Jingwu gently stroked the exquisite carvings on the armrest of the chair with his hand, and looked casually at the uneasy Liu Yong below.

"What benefit did the Third Prince promise you?"

Liu Yong shuddered all over and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He kowtowed in apology and cried out:

"Your Majesty, please be discerning. This servant is truly wronged! The Third Prince has never done me any favors! What I just said was purely my own wild speculation. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"
