After Sheng Jingyu finished causing trouble, he was actually safe, and the emperor was now afraid that he had died.
If he dies, the people of Qikong Kingdom will keep an eye on this matter and cause trouble, and then no one will step forward to solve the problem.
If Sheng Jingyu weren't blind, the Emperor would still be wary of him, fearing he would become too prestigious. But now there's nothing to fear, so why not use him?
However, the emperor was now somewhat regretful, wishing he had stopped Sheng Jingyu earlier.
Jin Kouhe is so badly injured, this matter is unlikely to be resolved so easily.
But Sheng Jingyu was like the King of Hell at that time, his subordinates were all incredibly efficient, and he didn't dare to stop him.
"Fortunately, he was blind," the Emperor exclaimed again.
It's better to be blind; I've done a lot for him since I went blind.
The good reputation belonged to the emperor, which ensured the stability of the country, but the infamy fell on Sheng Jingyu.
The only downside to doing this was that it fostered Sheng Jingyu's arrogance.
After having Princess Consort Chen, she became very disobedient again...
The Emperor is currently in a dilemma regarding Sheng Jingyu: he dares not touch him, yet is unwilling to do so, but is also worried about keeping him around.
"Your Majesty, Princess Heyi has woken up, but Prince Jin is still unconscious," the eunuch reported.
The Emperor complained, "When Prince Jin was hanging, he was in good health. He could shout and move around. How come he started to faint as soon as he was put down and still hasn't woken up? If it really doesn't work, hang him up again."
He was just saying it in anger; his main concern was that Prince Jin would die here.
As for Princess Heyi, Consort Wan has already gone to coax her.
The Emperor dared not go, fearing he would be forced to agree to some conditions. In short, he would not say a word in Sheng Jingyu's absence.
Su Wenyuan had already taken a nap, but they were still at Wanlin Hunting Ground and hadn't returned yet.
She slept soundly, and didn't wake up even when Sheng Jingyu changed her dressing.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Sheng Jingyu put the food in the room.
The kitchen had already prepared the food several times, and when it cooled down, they would make a new one. Sheng Jingyu thought she would be hungry when she woke up, since she had only eaten something in the morning and it was almost dark.
"Oh!" Hua Ling leaned against the door and pouted, "You won't starve if you skip a meal."
"Why are you being so sarcastic?" Su Wenyuan sat up, staring intently at the food.
Sheng Jingyu said, "It's alright, he's sick, don't worry about him."
Hua Ling couldn't stand Sheng Jingyu's rambling manner and left with a look of disgust.
While busy eating, Su Wenyuan didn't forget to ask him about important matters.
When did your eyes get better?
Sheng Jingyu replied, "After being poisoned, I was treated for a year. About half a year later, I could vaguely see some human figures. It took another three or four years to completely stop taking the medicine."
This is all thanks to Hua Ling.
Although Hua Ling claimed to be timid and the first to run away when Sheng Jingyu was in trouble, in reality, he was the bravest.
Back then, his father dared not treat him for fear of getting into trouble, but Hua Ling went directly to the Prince Chen's mansion. He first confirmed that the person was poisoned, and then, knowing that failure to detoxify would inevitably lead to death, he boldly tried.
Su Wenyuan asked again, "Who were you trying to protect yourself from after hiding this for so many years?"
“Everyone.” Sheng Jingyu got up and poured her a bowl of soup.
When he pretended to be blind, Su Wenyuan helped him with a lot of things.
He was afraid of being exposed, so he kept few servants around him. Sometimes, Su Wenyuan would do things herself without calling for servants.
“At first, we didn’t know who poisoned us, but in the end, we couldn’t avoid the Emperor and Empress.” Sheng Jingyu said calmly, “The imperial physicians who came seemed to have superb medical skills, and everyone acknowledged them, but Hua Ling discovered that they were quacks.”
"The first doctor who came was not a quack, but after two days they were all replaced. Father said their medical skills were not good, so they replaced them with the few remaining doctors from the Imperial Hospital. Then Father and Mother searched everywhere for so-called famous doctors."
Those imperial physicians saw fewer patients after they entered the Imperial Medical Academy.
The use of medication has become much more cautious, and over time, medical skills will inevitably decline.
Some of them were taking advantage of the situation, and no one noticed, so no one knew how good their medical skills were.
Furthermore, no one thought the Emperor would harm Sheng Jingyu. If the Emperor ordered a replacement, then there must be something wrong.
Sheng Jingyu was both delayed by the imperial physician and poisoned by the empress.
Realizing there are no good people around, one naturally has to keep hiding it.
“I understand the Empress. He naturally wants to eliminate obstacles so that his son can ascend the throne. Why does the Emperor do this? Is it simply because he is biased towards Sheng Yuanhe? But he is not that biased.”
Su Wenyuan couldn't understand it. The emperor's favoritism was only relative to Sheng Jingyu. Apart from Sheng Jingyu, he didn't seem to favor any of the other princes.
In other words, he treats everyone the same except Sheng Jingyu.
But that's not what people outside are saying. Even Su Wenyuan knows that Sheng Jingyu has been favored since birth, and the Emperor has always been partial to him.
This was true both before and after he went blind.
Has the Emperor suddenly changed his mind?
Sheng Jingyu smiled bitterly, "The Empress Dowager wanted her own son to inherit the throne, while the Emperor wanted to secure his own throne."
In the end, it's all the same thing.
Su Wenyuan didn't understand and asked, "What are you talking about?"
It's normal for a legitimate emperor to worry about others usurping the throne, and it's also normal for him to worry about his own son forcing him to abdicate.
But he worried that his teenage son might lack confidence.
Sheng Jingyu was not very old at that time, so he shouldn't have been afraid of him, right?
Sheng Jingyu explained in detail: "The late emperor lived a long life, and my father ascended the throne late. He served as the crown prince for many years, but... he was not valued. Some of the secret forces in Anchuan Kingdom were never handed over to my father."
Countries cannot only cultivate ministers; they also need some spies who cannot be seen in the light of day.
Sheng Jingyu was well-informed, not only because he had his own people, but more importantly, because he had access to spies from Anchuan.
Back then, the late emperor bypassed the current emperor and directly handed these people over to Sheng Jingyu.
The emperor had been the crown prince for many years, and had been constantly belittled and suppressed by the previous emperor, so he had an extreme desire for power.
So what if he's your own son? If he can't sleep at night and can't eat or sleep properly, then we have to find a way to solve the problem.
Su Wenyuan excitedly slammed her hand on the table, but before she could say anything, she withdrew her hand with a grimace.
“Eh…” Sheng Jingyu got up nervously and saw that her wound was starting to bleed.
"Be careful. The fact that you don't feel pain means the anesthetic is working, not that your injury has healed." Sheng Jingyu brought over the medicine, intending to change it for her.
Su Wenyuan said through gritted teeth, "I wondered why the Emperor didn't just kill you directly."
No matter how disobedient Sheng Jingyu was, the Emperor repeatedly tolerated him and even showed some apprehension. So that's why.
“If I don’t hand them over to him, they will only obey my orders. Even if I die, he may not be able to subdue them. If Anchuan loses its spies, it will be at the mercy of others.”
"The Crown Prince does intend to cultivate new forces, and it's not just the Crown Prince; anyone with a brain would do it, but they can never compare to the secret agent organizations that have been passed down from generation to generation."
