She sighed softly, her eyes filled with worry about Li Chengqian's injury, and said slowly:
"Mother, although the Crown Prince's right leg was injured, his tendons and bones were not damaged, so he should be able to recover without any problems.
But the left leg... has damaged the nerves. Given the current conditions, I'm afraid..."
When Empress Changsun heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and a trace of unconcealable sadness flashed in her eyes.
But then she fought back her tears and tried to keep her voice calm: "Then... is there any other way?"
"Sizi, can you please let Xiao Rangjun come over? He is a divine beast, and he might have some magical means to heal Gao Ming."
Empress Changsun knew very well that Gao Ming, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, shouldered the heavy responsibility of inheriting the throne, and his health and image were crucial to the future of the Tang Dynasty.
If he really became a cripple, it would not only affect his personal prestige, but it would also shake the foundation of the country and cause undercurrents in the court.
However, the little princess knew very well that although Xiao Rangjun came from the future, he possessed many magical powers.
But it is not proficient in medicine, and those so-called "treatment methods" are only based on the technological perspective of thousands of years later.
But looking at Empress Changsun's expectant eyes, she decided to tell a white lie to give her mother some temporary comfort.
"Mother, Xiao Rangjun does have some healing methods, but those methods are quite special and can only be performed in a specific fairyland environment."
The little princess spoke softly, her tone filled with comfort, "And the current level of technology in the Tang Dynasty is indeed not yet capable of directly applying those methods."
Empress Changsun's eyes gradually dimmed, as if the last glimmer of hope was about to be extinguished.
But the little princess changed the subject and continued, "But mother, you don't need to worry too much.
Datang's scientific and technological level is developing rapidly, with new breakthroughs and progress every day.
I believe that as long as we give Datang some time, we will one day be able to find a way to heal the Crown Prince's leg injury."
When Empress Changsun heard this, the light in her eyes dimmed for a moment, but then a glimmer of hope ignited again.
She held the little princess's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she asked with a hint of disbelief:
"Sizi, are you telling the truth? Is it really possible for Tang Dynasty's technology to develop to that level?"
The little princess looked at Empress Changsun's expectant eyes and felt a deep sense of responsibility in her heart.
She nodded seriously and said firmly, "It's true, mother."
"Sizi is currently researching genes and wants to create a replica of his aunt.
If this is successful, the hope of restoring my brother's legs in the future will be greatly increased."
Just as the two were chatting, suddenly, a burst of rapid breathing broke the silence.
Li Chengqian, who had fallen into a coma, slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt severe pain in his legs and his face suddenly changed.
"Legs! My legs! What's going on? Asshole! Someone come..."
Just as Li Chengqian was about to get furious, Empress Changsun quickly came over and held his hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid, my son! Mother is here!" Empress Changsun comforted him gently, her eyes full of heartache and concern.
"Gao Ming, your leg is just injured. Sizi is trying to find a way to treat it. You will definitely get better."
…
On the other hand, when Li Shimin, who was returning to the capital, received the news that the prince had fallen from his horse, his heart sank suddenly, as if being pressed by a huge rock.
He immediately stopped everything he was doing and asked the accompanying signalman to confirm the authenticity of the news again.
When he received a positive answer, Li Shimin's face became extremely solemn.
He was well aware of the importance of Crown Prince Li Chengqian to the Tang Dynasty, not only because he was his eldest son, but also because he shouldered the heavy responsibility of inheriting the throne.
Now he is seriously injured and may even be left disabled, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the future of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to speed up.
He wanted to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible to see his son's injuries with his own eyes and find the best treatment for him.
After several days of forced march, Li Shimin finally returned to Chang'an City.
He didn't even bother to rest and went straight to the prince's bedroom.
When he saw Li Chengqian lying on the bed with his legs wrapped in bandages, the pain in his heart was beyond words.
"Gao Ming, my son!" Li Shimin walked to the bed, held Li Chengqian's hand tightly, and said in a choked voice.
When Li Chengqian saw his father return, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately covered by pain.
"Aye, I..." He wanted to say something, but couldn't continue because of the pain.
Upon seeing this, Empress Zhangsun hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Ming has just woken up and is still very weak.
Please let him rest for a while, and we will discuss the treatment later."
These days, Empress Changsun has been staying by Li Chengqian's side day and night.
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this and turned to look at Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun immediately understood and followed Li Shimin out.
Li Shimin immediately asked impatiently, "Guanyinbi, how is Gao Ming's injury? Have you found a cure?"
Empress Changsun sighed and told Li Shimin what the little princess had said before.
After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and fell into deep thought.
With the popularization of science by the little princess and Li Lizhi, he was no stranger to the term "gene".
At the same time, he also knew that the person whose genes were copied was not the previous person.
Could it be that... Xiao Sizi wants to replicate another Gao Ming to replace him?
Li Shimin frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry.
He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Guanyinbi, although Sizi's idea is bold, it cannot be ruled out.
However, this matter of genetic replication is too unbelievable, and we need to discuss it carefully."
Empress Zhangsun nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with worry: "Your Majesty, Sizi has always been a smart and clever child. She must have her reasons for doing this.
However, this concerns Gao Ming's future, so we must be cautious."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and decided to go and talk to the little princess in person.
He turned to Empress Changsun and said, "Guanyinbi, you stay here and take care of Gao Ming. I'll go find Sizi and find out what she's planning."
After saying this, Li Shimin hurriedly left the prince's bedroom and went to the Princess Huguo's mansion.
However, he was informed by the guards of the Princess Huguo's Mansion that Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang was not in the mansion, but had gone to Princess Changle's Mansion.
So Li Shimin had to come to Princess Changle's mansion, which was just across the wall.
When the guards saw that it was the emperor, they immediately knelt down and saluted.
Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then walked straight into the mansion.
In the laboratory of Princess Changle's mansion, Li Shimin found the little princess and Li Lizhi.
