The wound of the Fourth Prince made the Imperial Physician furrow his brow deeply, thinking, who on earth did this? If the wound were just slightly off, the Fourth Prince’s eyeball would definitely be beyond saving.
Once the Fourth Prince received dication, he no longer emitted piercing screams, but the Emperor still found it hard to calm down. Who exactly was present at the scene, injuring the Fourth Prince so silently and invisibly? His eyes shot straight at Long Rui, the suspect, glaringly obvious.
Long Rui is renowned throughout the land for his high martial arts skills. Other than him, no other person could be found at the scene.
At that mont, Long Rui raised his head and t the Emperor’s gaze directly. The Emperor’s heart quivered, and he hurriedly shifted his eyes away. He was deeply wary of the War Prince and understood that this wasn’t the ti to turn against him.
Long Rui smiled inwardly with pleasure and paid him no further heed. The old Emperor dared not do anything to him face-to-face. He was quite insidious and probably accustod to scheming behind the scenes like the consorts of the harem.
The Emperor felt extrely aggrieved but dared not confront the War Prince openly. He could only compose himself and asked the Imperial Physician, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is the Fourth Prince’s injury?"
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince’s wound is not too serious. It will recover after a period of rest, but..."
"What about it?" The Emperor asked anxiously, leaning forward.
"The Fourth Prince’s wound is extrely dangerous. If it was just a bit more skewed, his eyeball would be beyond saving."
"Hiss...!"
Everyone present drew in a sharp breath. They were all wondering, who had the audacity to injure the Fourth Prince right under the Emperor’s nose? If the wound had been just a bit off, wouldn’t the Fourth Prince have turned into a One-Eyed Dragon?
Oh dear! This person is indeed very bold.
The Fourth Prince had been pestering Miss Situ a lot lately. Could it be that the War Prince, unable to bear it any longer, took action?
Everyone speculated.
Not only the Emperor, but everyone present was thinking the sa. They all turned their gaze towards the War Prince.
The War Prince was bowing his head, conversing with Xuexue, completely indifferent to their attention.
The Emperor withdrew his gaze and asked the Imperial Physician, who was bandaging the Fourth Prince, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, what exactly injured the Fourth Prince?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the wound is so deep, it must have been a sharp weapon, yet nothing was found at the scene. I am unsure, Your Majesty," the Imperial Physician said with a troubled expression.
The place they were in was all grassland, ticulously organized and clean by the servants, without stones or dead branches; anything on the ground was plain to see.
The Emperor’s face looked unsightly. Although he was convinced that this matter was certainly done by the War Prince, without evidence, he was helpless.
The Imperial Physician wrapped the Fourth Prince’s left eye entirely with a white cloth strip.
Instantly, the Fourth Prince beca a One-Eyed Dragon.
The other princes felt a bit schadenfreude, but in front of the Emperor, they dared not laugh out loud.
Eldest Prince: "Fourth Imperial Brother, since you’re injured, you should rest well and not participate in the hunt."
The Fourth Prince, having faced setbacks everywhere today, filled with frustration, responded sharply, "It’s only a minor wound, no hands or feet broken, why not participate."
"Imperial Brother is worried about you, only for your own good."
"This Prince is doing just fine."
"Is that so? Which one of us was just howling like a ghost?" The Eldest Prince’s tone carried a hint of mockery.
The Fourth Prince would often bully the Eldest Prince, relying on his Mother Consort being the Empress, plus the fact that Noble Consort Wang and the Empress didn’t get along.
In the Private School, unable to find an opportunity because of the Eldest Prince’s academic excellence, during the hunt knowing martial arts was the Eldest Prince’s weak point, he ridiculed him relentlessly.
