Chapter 123 The Queen's Left Eyeball

Ling Shumo looked at Junhou, their eyes met briefly, and then quickly separated.

Ling Shumo walked a few steps to the Queen, quickly took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the soup off the Queen's dress, but the dress was too wet, and a small handkerchief could not save it.

The Queen pushed away Ling Shumo's hand holding the handkerchief and knelt in front of the Emperor, his face filled with grief. "Your Majesty, Shen Hefeng is a disaster, Your Majesty. You were bewitched by him, which is why you indulged in excessive sexual activity and damaged your health. Only by executing him today can your health recover."

When Chen Hefeng heard the Queen's words about executing him, he curled his lips and started to cry again, "Your Majesty, the Queen wants to kill me. I am so scared. You must protect me."

The emperor was furious. He grabbed the empty medicine bowl on the table and smashed it on the queen's head. "I said Shen Fanghua is innocent. Shi Xiuyuan, don't you understand what I'm saying? Shen Fanghua has worked so hard to serve me. I love him so much that I absolutely cannot execute him."

The broken porcelain bowl had shattered a bloody hole in the corner of the Queen's left eye, and beads of blood were dripping from the wound. There was also blood in his left eye, and it was unclear whether it was from the corner of the eye that the blood flowed into the eye, or if the porcelain fragment had injured the eyeball. The Queen immediately pressed her eyeball.

The feigned sadness in Ling Shumo's eyes had now turned into panic. "Father, did you injure your eyes? Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician Liu, why don't you come over and take a look at the Queen's eyes?"

Envoy Liu had just been examining Shen Hefeng's sprained ankle. The Emperor then poured the entire bowl of medicine onto the Empress. He rewrote the prescription and was about to ask the imperial physician standing behind him to prepare the medicine when Ling Shumo called on him. Without pausing for a moment, he hurried to the Empress's presence.

At this moment, blood continued to seep out from between the fingers of the Queen, who was covering her left eye. Because of the excessive amount of blood seeping out, even the Emperor, who was about to continue his furious rage, fell silent.

With tweezers and a cotton ball in hand, Envoy Liu solemnly examined the Queen's left eye. He then said in a deep voice, "The Queen's left eyeball has been damaged to the core. It's best to remove it immediately. If left untreated, it will necrotize on its own, and there's a high chance it will cause damage to the brain."

After Dr. Liu's diagnosis, the room fell silent for a moment. Ling Shumo's fists were nearly clenched beneath her sleeves.

After all, Shen Hefeng was sent to the Emperor through the Eastern Palace. The Empress's cry for Shen Hefeng's execution in the Yangxin Palace today was intended to disassociate herself and Ling Shumo from Shen Hefeng once the truth about Shen Hefeng using his body as a medicine to poison the Emperor came to light.

Ling Shumo knew that the Queen's actions would inevitably anger the Emperor. Whether it was a slap in the face or being splashed with medicine, it was within their expected tolerance. But now that the Queen had been blinded in one eye, Ling Shumo simply couldn't accept it.

She had no mother-daughter relationship with the emperor, but the queen had always taken care of every aspect of her life, and she had developed some feelings for her adoptive father.

She was extremely angry, but at this moment, Shen Hefeng jumped out to make trouble again, holding the emperor's hand and crying non-stop, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't made the Queen unhappy, Your Majesty wouldn't have helped me vent my anger, and the Queen wouldn't have had problems with her eyes. The Queen is right, his eyeball is necrotic, and I really can't escape death!"

Shen Hefeng cried and reflected on himself. When he said this, he let go of the emperor's hand and slammed into the pillar beside him. "I have nothing left. Now I can only pay my life to the master, the queen."

The emperor was originally feeling guilty for damaging the queen's eyes. Now Shen Hefeng was trying to commit suicide. She had no time to think about the queen at all. All her attention was on Shen Hefeng. She shouted at the attendants, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and stop Shen Hefeng!"

Shen Hefeng was just pretending; he couldn't bear to actually die. Seeing the servant's hand behind him about to grab Shen Hefeng's sleeve, Shen Hefeng, who was about to commit suicide, was about to be stopped. Ling Shumo stretched out her leg and tripped the servant to the ground.

Shen Hefeng found that no one stopped him, so he had to brake suddenly. His forehead only touched the pillar lightly, without leaving even a red mark.

It was true that the emperor felt sorry for his new favorite, Shen Hefeng, but she also had a brain. Just now, she was worried about Shen Hefeng, and in her haste, she didn't have time to think about anything else. Now that Shen Hefeng was no longer in any danger of life, how could she not understand Shen Hefeng's little pretentious thoughts?

Ling Shumo knelt down in the direction of the emperor. She glared at Shen Hefeng and said, "Mother Queen, it's all because of Shen Fanghua that my father's eyes have died. You must not condone Shen Fanghua's crimes. I beg you to make the decision for my father."

The Queen was now sitting in a chair, her face as pale as snow. The Imperial Hospital staff had just gone to prepare the Ma Fei Powder, and his left eyeball was about to be removed from its socket.

The person truly to blame for this incident was the Emperor, but Ling Shumo, or even himself, only dared to blame Chen Hefeng. Thunder, lightning, rain, and dew were all grace from the Emperor. The Emperor could never be wrong. If the Emperor had damaged his eyeball, he needed to look for the reason within himself.

Therefore, this matter can only be that Shen Hefeng seduced the monarch, and the emperor was instigated by Shen Hefeng, which caused him to hurt the queen's eyes.

Shen Hefeng was also well aware of this, which was why he had no hesitation in ramming his head against the pillar in order to exonerate himself. However, because Ling Shumo tripped the attendant who was trying to stop him, his attempt to apologize with his death was ruined.

Ma Fei San was brought over quickly.

Because the ensuing scene was too bloody, the attendants brought a white curtain to block the Queen's presence. The Ma Fei Powder was very effective, and since the Queen was temporarily insensible to pain, the entire eye removal process was very quiet.

When the white curtain was drawn aside, everyone saw the Queen, her eyes covered in a thick layer of gauze. The effects of the Ma Fei San hadn't worn off yet, and the Queen felt dizzy and heavy. Yingxi supported her as she reluctantly sat down on a chair.
