Rebirth of the noble daughter

Chapter 406 417. Blind
But why did he do this?
Do you want to point the finger at the eldest prince to sow discord?
Now his suspicion of the Ninth Prince has spread to Concubine Wei and Duke Wei, so every time they make any moves, their first reaction is the same.

The imperial physician came late at night, and when he saw that Duke Wei's eyelids were bruised and swollen, he frowned more than anyone else.

"The silver needle penetrates too deep, my lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my eyes."

After a careful examination, the imperial physician came to the conclusion that Duke Wei had never seen any storms and waves in his life, except for one eye. As long as he could save his life, everything would be fine.

"Go ahead."

Now that the eyes are useless, naturally they can't keep them, otherwise it will be more troublesome if they infect other places and cause other problems.

The tone was indifferent, as if it was not him who was about to be gouged out, but someone else.

The imperial physician couldn't help admiring this Duke, after all, he is someone who has seen big scenes!

So he took out Mafeisan and gave him some. After making all the preparations, he raised the knife and saw his left eyeball was dug out with the silver needle.

"It's a good thing there is no poison on this silver needle, otherwise the poison may have spread all over the body at this moment."

The imperial doctor sewed up the wound on his eye while talking.

Wei Guogong didn't say a word the whole time, but the scratches on the armchair, the dense beads of sweat on his forehead and his pale face all silently told the pain of gouging out his eyes.

At this moment, besides hating Zhu Hong extremely, Duke Wei is also very dissatisfied with Liang Quanbin who is extremely stupid!

Incompetent bungler.

Anyway, this time I have to cut my tail to survive. Since he is so unusable, I just kill him and pretend by the way, so that I can put all the blame on him.

When the imperial doctor was suturing, his mind was full of thoughts about how to deal with Liang Quanbin.

Poor Liang Quanbin, who was also seriously injured at the moment, had no idea that he would die at the hands of Duke Wei, who swore allegiance to the death.

After the wound was sutured, the imperial physician prescribed a prescription.

One is to relieve pain, the other is to reduce inflammation, and the third is to soothe the nerves.

Duke Wei was getting old and suddenly lost one eye. Even a man in his prime might not be able to stand it.

Unexpectedly, he was so tolerant, the imperial doctor felt more and more that the Wei family should not be messed with, and that this kind of pain could be overcome, what else could he not do?
So, be more diligent when serving.

In the palace, Emperor Qi hadn't fallen asleep since he learned the news of Duke Wei's assassination, until the imperial doctor came to report that his left eye was severely injured and had been cut out, let alone Emperor Qi, even the king who served beside him The father-in-law was surprised.

"Really gouged out?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I personally gouged it out, the silver needle penetrated too deep, I was already powerless to turn back, and I had no choice but to take this bad policy to protect the life of the Duke."

After hearing this, Emperor Qi sighed deeply, and immediately told the princes beside him.

"Hurry up, send more of the elixir from the palace to the Duke's mansion. In addition, you go and tell the Duke yourself, I will definitely not spare that assassin!"

"Yes!"

If it is said that when he first heard the news, Emperor Qi was skeptical.

Now, Emperor Qi has a lot of regret and sympathy for Wei Guogong.

No one is a fool to use one eye as bait, and he is very old, if he makes a careless move, wouldn't he have to pay for his life?

Therefore, Emperor Qi only seriously considered at this moment, whose power would the assassin be?

What is the purpose of assassinating Wei Guogong at this time?
That night, many people stayed up all night, whether in the palace or in the officials' homes outside.

When he went to court on the second day, Bai Xiang, who had been recuperating for a long time, appeared unexpectedly.

His complexion is much better, and he looks energetic.

With him around, the Great Jin seemed to have the pinnacle of calming the sea. Even if people in the court were panicked when they learned of Duke Wei's assassination last night, they didn't dare to discuss too much at this moment.

Emperor Qi, who came to court, was also black and blue at the moment.

If it wasn't for tracking down the assassin today, he wouldn't even want to go to court early.

So when he saw Bai Xiang, like other ministers, he felt much more at ease.

"Is Bai Xiang feeling better?"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the old minister is much better."

"That's good, Da Jin cannot do without Prime Minister Bai, and so do I!"

Put on the high hat first, and then talk about the assassination of Wei Guogong.

"What do you think of Bai Xiang?"

So the courtiers all stared at Bai Xiang, wanting to see his opinion on this matter.

Then Prime Minister Bai shook his head, "The old minister doesn't go to court, and he has been recuperating from his illness and seldom went out. So we only know about Duke Wei's assassination now."

Although his words were meant to be excuses, they were justified.

Originally, he retired from court to recuperate from his illness. After Bai Chaoan left the court, there was indeed no one in the Bai family in the court. It seemed reasonable to not know about it.

Emperor Qi was a little worried in his heart, but on the surface he was not easy to explode.

So he looked at the others and asked, "What do you love dears think?"

The good relationship with the Wei family in the past naturally means that the Duke of Wei has devoted himself to it, and he must have offended someone unintentionally to cause disaster, and the word "who" is most likely to be associated with it.

The Ninth Prince is now very powerful, and hitting Wei Guogong is hitting his wings. Needless to say, those people have intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Prince Ke's mansion.

It's just that he didn't go up against the eldest prince, but started with the Li clan of Princess Ke's natal family.

"My minister heard that many crop fields outside the city did not grow well this year due to too much rain. Most of the officials' families with grain fields in the court have reduced or exempted some grain taxation for the tenant farmers. This is what the Duke took the lead in doing. Well, many people outside are saying that he is benevolent, but the Li family doesn’t seem to think so, completely disregarding the life and death of the tenant farmers, they still forcibly handed over the rationed grain in previous years, which has caused a lot of public resentment.”

These words were aimed at Mrs. Li, and naturally they were also aimed at Prince Ke behind him.

So as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of the eldest prince's party attacked him.

"Master You is not afraid of flashing his tongue when he speaks, and he dares to bring rumors to His Majesty to make nonsense. When did my Li family forcefully hand it over?"

"Master Li, don't panic, if you force the payment, His Majesty will find someone to investigate, and you will know if I'm telling a lie or not!"

He also has a stiff neck, and this matter is Li Shi's trick, how could they not take advantage of it!
Hearing this, Mr. Li felt a little guilty. Although he didn't force the payment, when the housekeeper came to report, he did say that it was just as usual.

At that time, he didn't know that the way of heaven trampled the land like this, and now it has become their sharp blade to stab back!
Seeing his guilty appearance, the Ninth Prince faction is even more vicious, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, if you don't make a fuss to destroy the prestige of the First Prince's Party at this time, when will you wait?
