The Third Prince's Mansion of Daqi

After the Third Prince Shangguan Rui was seriously injured last time, he threatened Doctor Hu that his legs would no longer be able to walk normally. When the Emperor learned of this, he was both distressed and regretful, and immediately sent a message to Doctor Ye.

Doctor Ye rushed to the Third Prince's Mansion and carefully treated Shangguan Rui.

Shangguan Rui saw that there was no sign of Shen Xue behind him, so he quickly asked, "Doctor Ye, doesn't Xiaoxue know that I'm injured? Why didn't she come?"

Doctor Ye looked at Shangguan Rui and saw that he was hesitant, wondering whether to tell him that the Shen family's grandparents had been kidnapped.

Shangguan Rui saw that he was hesitant to speak, and asked hurriedly, "Doctor Ye, where is the little snowman? If she knew I was injured, she would definitely follow you here."

Divine Doctor Ye frowned, his expression solemn. He sighed, "Third Prince, Xiaoxue, her grandmother, and Xiaonan were all kidnapped. The prince and princess have gone to rescue them. I believe they will be back soon."

Shangguan Rui heard this and sat up straight, accidentally hurting his injured leg. He frowned in pain but said nothing.

His eyes were filled with anger and anxiety. He completely ignored the pain in his leg and anxiously asked, "Who are they? Why did they kidnap Grandma and Xiaoxue?"

"He is from Beiyan, and he is the one who hurt you."

Shangguan Ruiqi clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, gritting his teeth and saying, "The people of Northern Yan are defeated generals, despicable as hell. They can't defeat my Great Qi openly, yet they secretly abducted Xiaoxue and the others. When this prince recovers from his injuries, lead the troops to attack the capital of Northern Yan."

"Third Prince, please don't be impulsive. Your injuries are serious."

"Where are the Ninth Prince and the Princess?"

"The prince and princess went to Beiyan to rescue people."

"Who hurt this prince, and who kidnapped Xiaoxue and the others?"

"It's Rong Zhang, the Third Prince of Northern Yan."

Shangguan Rui angrily slapped his injured leg and said angrily: "Xiaoxue, when she needed me the most, I could only lie here. Why did I choose to get hurt at this time? I feel so sorry for her. What should I do if something happens to her?"

Divine Doctor Ye quickly grabbed Shangguan Rui and comforted him, "Third Prince, don't be impulsive. Everyone has seen how kind you are to Xiaoxue. You didn't get hurt of your own accord."

Shangguan Rui thought to himself: I really got injured on purpose in order to cancel the engagement. This self-torture was played at the wrong time. Now I regret choosing to get injured at this time, otherwise I could go with Uncle Jiu and the others to save Xiaoxue.

Doctor Ye felt Shangguan Rui's pulse, his face solemn. Shangguan Rui saw that he looked unwell and asked hurriedly, "Doctor Ye, how is my leg injury?"

"Third Prince, what did the imperial physician say about your leg injury?"

"They said my leg bones were broken and significantly dislocated, and it would be difficult for me to walk normally after recovery."

"They're right. Two of your bones are broken, and your knee is significantly dislocated. Even if you fix your bones, it will be difficult for you to walk after you recover."

Shangguan Rui's head suddenly started buzzing when he heard this. He just wanted to use the trick of self-torture to break off the engagement, but he didn't intend to cripple himself.

He said anxiously, "Even you can't cure my leg. Will I become a cripple in the future?"

"That depends on how you recover. I can't draw any conclusions right now. A broken bone takes a hundred days to heal. You need to be patient and recuperate. Only after the broken bone has healed can you draw any conclusions."

Shangguan Rui's face turned pale. He couldn't accept that he had become a cripple.

Seeing Divine Doctor Ye's trembling voice coming, "Divine Doctor Ye, it's still inconvenient to walk after recovery. What should I do?"

"I'll prescribe you some medicine right away. Just follow my instructions and stay in bed to recover. Don't move your injured leg around. I believe you'll be back to normal after you recover."

"If you still have trouble walking after you recover, I'll give you acupuncture."

After hearing what Doctor Ye said, Shangguan Rui forced himself to remain calm and silently prayed for a speedy recovery.

"Beize and Divine Doctor Ye are going to get the medicine, and they must also keep an eye on the news from the Princess and the Ninth Prince."

"I obey my orders."

The Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face gloomy as he listened to Divine Doctor Ye's report. His heart was filled with distress and regret. He had always placed high hopes on his son Shangguan Rui, so he ordered Shangguan Yunting to take him to the military camp for training.

"Doctor Ye, how likely is it that Rui'er's leg can be restored to its original state?"

"Half. After all, this isn't a disease. I dare not speak rashly, or I would be deceiving the emperor."

“What should I do if walking becomes difficult after recovery?”

"We'll do acupuncture then."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, and felt mixed emotions.

At this time, Eunuch Chen came in and reported: "Your Majesty, this is the news from Princess Furong in the Youzhou military camp."

After reading the letter, the emperor finally felt relieved. He was relieved that Princess Furong had not revealed the bomb formula.

We knew that if the bomb formula fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous. Now, this threat has finally been eliminated.

"I believe that Rui'er will be able to recover as before."

"Your Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor, and your words are as golden as gold. The Third Prince's leg injury will definitely heal as before.

However, the palace was full of twists and turns, and the news that Shangguan Rui would not be able to follow the right path in the future spread quickly throughout the harem and the capital.

When Concubine He learned from the nanny that Shangguan Rui had become a cripple, she was extremely happy. She had always been worried that the emperor would appoint Shangguan Rui as the crown prince.

Now, he has become a cripple and has no chance of becoming emperor.

The deposed queen has been in the cold palace for more than a year. How can the Da Qi Palace be without a successor? I will find an opportunity and ask my father to report to the emperor and propose the appointment of a queen and a crown prince.

In the entire palace, I am the only one who is suitable to be the queen. Since I am the queen, the eldest prince is the eldest son born of the legitimate wife, and he has the right to succeed to the throne.

Concubine He smiled when she thought of this.

Concubine He ordered the nanny beside her, "Mammy, go check and see if the Third Prince's leg injury has improved. If he's lame, that's the best, but if he's not lame, we want him to become lame."

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is still favored by the Emperor. If the Emperor finds out about this, I'm worried that both you and the First Prince will be affected."

After hearing this, Concubine He thought for a moment and said viciously, "It's okay to wait. I can afford to wait."

The eldest prince was so happy in his palace that he almost celebrated. He looked into the distance and said sinisterly, "Father, Shangguan Rui is lame. Are you going to pass the throne to a cripple like you? Will you let other countries laugh at my Great Qi for having no successor?"

The eldest prince was very proud, thinking that there was one less competitor in the court and the position of crown prince was only one step away from him.

When the Second Prince learned in his mansion that Shangguan Rui had a lame leg, he happily drank to celebrate. Although he could not marry the Sixth Princess of Beiyan and had to marry a useless wife, it was still better for his future than marrying a lame man.

At this time, Shangguan Rui was not depressed. He was worried about Xiaoxue's condition while taking medicine to treat his leg injury.
