Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: The Fourth Prince Is Ruined
“How did this happen? Imperial Doctor Zhang, are you lying to ? Are you joking, is that it?” The Empress looked at Imperial Doctor Zhang and Yu Yi with hope, wishing they would nod and agree with her words.
Yet, Imperial Doctor Zhang’s expression was very serious: “Empress, this matter is of great importance, how can I joke about it? Please make a decision quickly, otherwise, the Fourth Prince’s life won’t be secure.”
“Imperial Doctor Zhang, try to find a way to save the Fourth Prince’s eyes. He is the Crown Prince in the future; he can’t be without eyes!”
In her urgency, the Empress revealed her ambition.
Imperial Doctor Zhang’s gaze flickered slightly, and he said: “Empress, have I not made myself clear? The Fourth Prince’s eye has already necrotized. If we delay further, it will endanger his life. Even if by luck his life is spared, the other eye will also beco blind.”
“Impossible, impossible.”
Clearly, the Empress could not accept the reality before her.
Imperial Doctor Zhang suddenly knelt on the ground: “Empress, I have waited here for you all day, which has delayed precious ti. For the sake of the Fourth Prince’s life, please make a decision quickly.”
The Empress’s body weakened, she fell against a palace maid, her face turning pale exceedingly.
Hardly able to believe what was happening, she murmured: “What are you doing? I’ve been waiting all day; I ca imdiately upon hearing the news.”
Imperial Doctor Zhang then recounted the event of the servant boy going to the Imperial Palace to call on her.
The Empress was stupefied; this servant boy was sent by her to care for the Fourth Prince. After the Fourth Prince’s accident, he disappeared without a trace. She instantly understood what had happened.
“The damn cowardly servant actually feared taking responsibility and fled secretly.” The Empress gritted her teeth in hatred, but don’t forget, his family is under her control. Let’s see how she would deal with his family when she gets back.
Imperial Doctor Zhang called out again: “Please, Empress, make a decision quickly.”
The Empress was exhausted: “The Fourth Prince is of royal blood, such a significant matter as surgery requires notifying the Emperor.”
The Fourth Prince losing an eye is as if losing the whole person; the Emperor would not favor him henceforth, causing the Empress’s heart to be anxious and uneasy.
“But delaying further will be too late.” Small
“He is the son of the Emperor; now he is physically impaired, the Emperor must be inford!” The Empress’s voice was sowhat hoarse and desperate.
Imperial Doctor Zhang lowered his head, not daring to speak, thinking, the Emperor has so many sons, if the Fourth Prince is ruined, he simply wouldn’t care.
Since it was already nightti, the gates of the Imperial Palace were closed, a token was given to a servant, and they hurried to report to the Emperor, to see what the Emperor’s opinion was.
Four hours later, the servant returned to report, saying the Emperor ntioned that all decisions regarding the Fourth Prince should be made by the Empress.
The Empress’s face instantly turned pale. What does the Emperor an? Is he intending to abandon her and their son?
Imperial Doctor Zhang had long prepared the sterilized surgical tools, waiting beside her for the Empress’s command.
The Fourth Prince is the Empress’s treasure; though she did not wish for him to be physically impaired and lose the contention for the throne, after much consideration, being physically incomplete is better than losing life entirely.
With no other choice, the Empress agreed reluctantly.
Just as she said the word “agree,” she felt a wave of exhaustion, nearly fainting on the spot.
The palace maids helped her to the adjacent room to rest.
The next day, before the Fourth Prince could awaken, the Empress returned to the palace, disheartened. In just one night, her son, whom she had nurtured for over a decade, was crippled, dealing a deep blow to her heart. She needed to return to the palace to recuperate. Without the Fourth Prince, how will the future unfold?
