It’s a pity that Xie Ling is not the prince’s child.
As he thought about it, Wu Xuanji felt that it was fortunate that Xie Ling was not the prince's child.
Otherwise, given the prince's personality, I don't know how much he would blame himself. I'm afraid he would die of heart pain and would wish to die to atone for his sins.
"This uncle?"
Not hearing any answer, Wei Wuji asked again.
Wu Xuanji immediately came back to his senses and bowed in return, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
At the same time, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had been the shopkeeper in Beijiang for so long that he almost lost the professional qualities of a secret guard. He was actually in a daze in front of his master and almost lost his mind.
After a few pleasantries, Wei Wuji got straight to the point.
"Uncle, I was busy with the palace affairs not long ago, and I have been unable to get away. Now I finally have the opportunity to come and see you. When I was traveling before, I met a very good doctor. I told her about your condition, and she said that your leg can be cured."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong reacted indifferently, without even moving his eyebrows.
Wu Xuanji's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up with excitement, "Really? Then why don't you invite that person over right now? Do you want me to go and invite him? This is such a great thing!"
Prince Yong held Wu Xuanji's hand and said, "Old Wu, I want to ask you for something else."
Wei Wuji shook his head, "No, she was very busy at the time. She said she would come to Wei Zhao when the time comes. Uncle, we just need to wait slowly."
As he spoke, he looked at Prince Yong and said excitedly, "Anyway, the emperor's leg can definitely be cured! I believe in my friend!"
Prince Yong lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts, and a faint self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.
So what if it’s cured?
What he had been seeking in this life had become a fantasy, so he might as well live out the rest of his life as a useless person.
Being a disabled person might soothe his guilt temporarily, but if he were really cured, he would recall the promise he made and himself who broke it every day, so he might as well die.
But after all, it is the kindness of the younger generation, and we should not let down their hard work.
Therefore, Prince Yong nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
After Wei Wuji finished speaking, he immediately turned around and went to the palace storehouse.
Wei Linglong was picking out beautiful jewelry and some rare treasures that were not even available in Wei Zhao’s palace.
As soon as Wei Wuji entered, his face turned cold, "Put it back."
"Why? The emperor's uncle said I can choose whatever I want!" Wei Linglong pouted, looking reluctant.
"You are already the most noble girl in the entire imperial city, with your mother's dowry and your father's gift of countless rare treasures, aren't all these things enough for you to squander?
This is the Emperor's uncle's stuff. It is the kingdom he built. It will be passed on to his children and grandchildren in the future. Our family already owes him a lot. Don't ask him for more. It is good enough that he can love and care for us without complaint since we were young."
Wei Wuji walked over, put the messed-up treasure chests and the scattered gold, silver and silk in order, and said calmly, "Put your things back."
After listening to Wei Wuji's words, Wei Linglong's ears turned red and her face was filled with shame and guilt. She quickly put everything in her arms into the box and pushed all the treasure chests back to their original places.
Then, she stood carefully in front of Wei Wuji with her hands behind her back, staring at her toes, and whispered, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't think it through. I won't do this again in the future. When your uncle has his own children, I will definitely treat them better than my own brothers and sisters and give them the best treasures in the world."
Wei Wuji sighed softly and touched the top of her head, "It is a great honor to know your mistakes and improve them."
Wei Linglong quickly grabbed Wei Wuji's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Brother Emperor, what do you mean by our family owes the Emperor's uncle so much?"
Wei Wuji didn't want to say it at first, but he was too excited just now and said it accidentally.
At this moment, facing Wei Linglong's anxious eyes, Wei Wuji thought for a while and finally sighed.
Linglong is older now and should know these things.
All the descendants of their family should know this, know what the emperor's uncle has done for them, and they will always owe him.
Wei Wuji raised his eyes, his gaze deep, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know how the emperor's uncle's legs and face were destroyed?"
A great fear suddenly arose in Wei Linglong's heart, gripping her heart so tightly that she almost couldn't breathe.
Her face turned pale, she took a step back and shook her head, "I don't want to know."
"It was to save my father, me, and you who was in my mother's belly at the time. When the Prince of Qi rebelled, my uncle rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation and brought our whole family out. He fought against tens of thousands of rebels alone. He was about to die, but he was finally saved. However, his legs and face were broken. He could have left, he could have left us behind and left alone! But it was because of our family that he became like this!"
Wei Wuji finished speaking in one breath, his eyes red and his chest heaving up and down.
He was only five years old that year, but he already had memories.
He will never forget that night of blood and corpses, the sharp arrow that pierced his uncle's body, and the blazing flames.
The enemy's sword was about to hit his back, but the uncle stood in front of him, and the muscles of both legs were gouged out, almost cut off...
This is the most painful memory of his life.
It was like a huge mountain pressing down on his heart all the time, making it hard for him to breathe.
Wei Linglong seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She fell to the ground, shook her head vigorously, and choked up, "This, this is impossible, uncle, uncle is so good to us... Impossible! You are lying to me!"
Wei Wuji, who had always been the most dignified and self-restrained, lost his dignity and demeanor at this moment and shouted, "The better he treats us, the more I hate everything that happened that year, and that evil creature, the King of Qi, who is still at large!
