The Five-and-a-Half-Year-Old Prince: Opening Up Wastelands and Being Pampered

After the ascension of the new emperor, Gu Yuzhi, only five years old, was exiled to Mobei with the title of Prince Wen. Ministers objected, officials sympathized, and even his retinue believed he ...

Chapter 202 The Extremely Treacherous and Cunning Chen Dianyi

In the crowd, Granny Xu slid down to the ground, one hand covering her chest, her eyes fixed on Judge Qin and the others in the room. Seeing the smiles on their faces and hearing their exclamations, Granny Xu felt a buzzing in her head.

She still couldn't quite believe that something she had been hoping for for so long had suddenly taken a big step forward today.

Xu Mama's gaze involuntarily fell on Gu Yuzhi. Even though the candlelight was dim, Xu Mama still saw that the little prince's eyes were more lively than before.

A sudden wave of sensation washed over her, causing her to feel a tightness in her chest, a stinging sensation in her nose, and a tightness in her throat. Unable to control herself, Xu Mama covered her face with her hands and wept bitterly. After a while, she pinched the back of her hands tightly.

After the real pain struck, Granny Xu finally realized that she wasn't dreaming, but that the young prince's eyes could actually see some things again.

Gu Yuzhi stood on the bench, and the experience of suddenly growing much taller felt very novel to him. He was reluctant to get down, and listening to the laughter of the people around him, he chuckled as well.

“I can really see them!” Gu Yuzhi called out their names one by one, “This is Judge Qin, this is Chief Secretary Xie, this is Mr. Huo, this is Consort Chen…”

He placed his index finger on his chin, frowned, and looked around: "Where is Granny Xu?"

Xie Changshi and Chen Dianyi stepped aside simultaneously, revealing Xu Mama kneeling on the ground.

Gu Yuzhi chuckled, jumped off the bench, walked over to Granny Xu, and slowly squatted down, tilting his head to look at her: "Granny Xu, I really can see a little bit now."

He patted Granny Xu's shoulder like a little adult: "Don't cry."

He rolled his eyes: "They say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune! I'm still so young, I'll have plenty of good fortune ahead of me!"

Granny Xu couldn't utter a single word; she could only nod repeatedly.

The young prince is right. Those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future. The young prince's good fortune is yet to come!

Because Gu Yuzhi suddenly regained his sight, everyone lost their sleepiness and gathered around Judge Qin's room to talk until the sky began to lighten. Gu Yuzhi's excitement gradually subsided, and he fell asleep leaning against the table, nodding his head.

Without thinking, Imperial Physician Qin stepped forward to hug him, but Marshal Huo grabbed his shoulder: "I'm afraid it won't be easy for Imperial Physician Qin to carry the little prince back. This kind of physical work is more suitable for a rough man like me!"

What do you mean by "suitable"?

Qin, the Imperial Physician, stubbornly defended himself in a low voice: "Just now outside, His Highness reached out to me on his own initiative, which shows that among all of us, he trusts me the most!"

Originally unwilling to get involved, Chief Secretary Xie couldn't help but spit out a curse upon hearing Imperial Physician Qin's words: "Qin, don't you find it laughable that you're saying this? The young prince trusts you the most? Have you forgotten how much the young prince dislikes your black medicine?"

Judge Qin's face darkened slightly...

He waved his hand and sneered, "Whether you reject it or not doesn't matter, after all, Your Highness drank it all up in the end. Otherwise, how could Your Highness's injuries have healed so quickly?"

"And you too!" Judge Qin shook his head slightly. "Don't forget, I saved your lives!"

"Aren't you two ashamed to compete with me for the chance to hold His Highness?"

Chief Secretary Xie and Marshal Huo exchanged a glance and, without prior agreement, said decisively, "We don't think so!"

The three of them formed a triangle, and it was clear that none of them would give way to the others.

Judge Qin was so angry at the two of them that he almost fell over backwards, pointing at them and saying "good, good" over and over again.

Chief Secretary Xie chuckled and said, "If we're talking about His Highness's closest person, I'm definitely the first one. You know, no matter where we are, I'm the only one who's always by His Highness's side."

Marshal Huo, who had originally allied with him, coldly interjected, "Is that so? But I was the one who trained with His Highness in the wild some time ago! You know, His Highness and I were inseparable during that period."

Everyone had a perfectly good reason to hug the little prince, so none of them were willing to concede to the other.

Only Chen Dianyi, who had been keeping a low profile, took this opportunity to carefully move to Gu Yuzhi's side. With the help of Xu Mama, she very carefully held Gu Yuzhi in her arms and then tiptoed out the door.

Meanwhile, the three judges, including Qin, were still arguing fiercely. It wasn't until Chen Dianyi had stepped out of the room that Marshal Huo suddenly woke up. Afraid of waking Gu Yuzhi, he could only growl in a low voice, "Chen Dianyi, you scoundrel, you are truly hateful!"

Those three are really stupid. All they do is argue, forgetting that there is an extremely treacherous and cunning Chen Dianyi right next to them!

Once discovered, Chen Dianyi's cautious steps instantly became blatant. He straightened his back and turned to look at the three men, his disdain undisguised: "The three of you have been arguing back and forth, but you haven't thought about giving way a little so that His Highness can go back to rest as soon as possible. That's the important thing!"

He snorted coldly, his words utterly righteous and indignant, and then leisurely left.

He breathed a long sigh of relief after the pricking sensation on his back disappeared.

Thank goodness those idiots didn't try to steal it!

After a while, Xie Changshi finally flung his sleeves and went back to his room to rest.

Marshal Huo and Imperial Physician Qin exchanged a glance, then turned their heads to one side, each letting out a defiant snort. One stormed out of the room, while the other angrily lay back down on the bed.

After a short while, the three of them burst into silent laughter.

That's wonderful! The young prince can see now!

Perhaps it was because he had stayed up all night, or perhaps it was because his eyes could see again, but Gu Yuzhi's deepest worries completely dissipated.

He believed that with all his hard work and the remarkable progress Xinliang had made this year, as long as he could still see, his elder brother would never abandon him.

There's also Manager Wen and Teacher Shu.

Although Teacher Shu had told him before that once their mission met the completion criteria of the main system, they would leave to find the next host, Gu Yuzhi still hoped that they could stay with him for a little longer.

Gu Yuzhi turned over, forcing himself to forget what Manager Wen had said.

His health is poor, so it's normal for Manager Wen to want to leave.

However, in the end, Manager Wen did not choose to leave, and now that his eyes are recovering, it is believed that Manager Wen will be even less likely to leave in the future.

Gu Yuzhi was completely relaxed and slept straight until the end of the next day.

If it weren't for Imperial Physician Qin secretly taking his pulse, and his little face being rosy from sleeping, Granny Xu might have cried again.
