Seeing that no one was discussing the Fourth Prince’s involvent in Situ Qinger’s death anymore, the Emperor was quite satisfied and pretended to reprimand the Fourth Prince a few tis, considering the matter settled.
Situ Yongjie stood to the side with a dark expression, silently upset that his second daughter died just like that, and the Emperor thought a few words would close the matter. He was undoubtedly dissatisfied.
The Emperor, taking this into account, punished the Fourth Prince with a month of house arrest and the deduction of half a year’s official salary.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince’s face turned black; if half his salary was deducted, what would he eat!
The salaries of the Princes were different from those of court officials. The Princes’ salaries were several tis higher, showing how the Emperor favored the Imperial Family mbers.
The Fourth Prince glared fiercely at Situtu Xueer standing beside him, thinking, this woman is truly shaless, flirting with the War Prince in broad daylight, pretending to be a virtuous woman but actually a Seductress Fox.
Not only did she steal his business, but she also caused his imperial father to deduct his salary, a real troublemaker.
Though aware of the Fourth Prince’s snake-like glare, Xuexue didn’t care. Her rebirth was ant to oppose the Fourth Prince; there would be even fiercer struggles in the future. Today was just a warm-up.
Long Rui, with his head lowered, ignored the Fourth Prince, speaking softly with a warm voice and a breath of hot air on Xuexue’s neck, "Darling, would you like to help you dig out his eyes?"
"Sure!"
As soon as Xuexue finished speaking, Long Rui flicked his finger, and it seed like sothing shot out...
Suddenly, the Fourth Prince’s scream was heard: "Ah... Ah... My eyes!"
The Emperor beca anxious upon hearing it: "Fourth Son, what’s wrong?"
There were so many people present, yet none knew that Long Rui had injured the Fourth Prince’s eyes.
Indeed, Long Rui was still sitting there calmly holding Xuexue, without even moving. Moreover, his movent was as quick as lightning; no one saw anything, only the Fourth Prince inexplicably clutching his eyes and crying out in pain.
The Fourth Prince, clutching his eyes, continued to wail: "It hurts, it hurts so much, Imperial Father, help !"
The Emperor’s heart ached terribly upon hearing this. With the accompanying Imperial Physician, he imdiately called him over to check on the Fourth Prince.
The Imperial Physician carefully pried open the Fourth Prince’s hand covering his eyes and looked...
"Hiss...!
Involuntarily gasping, he saw a wound on the Fourth Prince’s left eyelid, slicing across from the side. Judging by the bleeding, the wound was quite deep.
The Imperial Physician, shocked, was at a loss for words. Who dared to be so bold? To harm the Fourth Prince right in front of the Emperor: "Your Majesty... this... this... ."
The Emperor felt his authority was challenged, and his face grew furious: "Who? Who did it?"
The scene fell silent, everyone looking at each other, afraid to make a sound, in fear of being nad as a suspect by the Emperor.
The Fourth Prince continued to cry out in pain.
The other Princes watched coldly, adopting a stance of indifference and detachnt.
The veins on the Emperor’s forehead throbbed, unable to find soone to vent his anger on, he started scolding the Imperial Physician: "You quack doctor, can’t you see the Fourth Prince is in pain? Why don’t you stop the bleeding imdiately? If anything happens to the Fourth Prince, I’ll have your head!"
The Imperial Physician shivered all over, hastily took dicine from the kit, and carefully treated the Fourth Prince’s wound.
The dicine used in the Imperial Palace was of the highest quality, and as soon as it was applied, the Fourth Prince stopped his cries.
