Su Wenyuan was overjoyed that Sheng Zixi wanted to leave the Prince Chen's residence.
In the Imperial Study, the Emperor questioned the Duke of Wan for a long time but couldn't get any answers.
No matter how he asked, the Duke of Wan refused to speak, saying that his original intention was to share the Emperor's burdens.
The emperor could only guess that he was hiding something, and he relied on his unusual behavior to make his guess.
I have absolutely no clue what happened, and even if I wanted to ask more questions, I had no direction.
Seeing that he was really unwilling to talk about it, the emperor got tired of asking and knew that he couldn't hide it forever.
We can't just arrest him based on a baseless suspicion, can we? Forget it, let's not ask anymore!
The Emperor focused his attention on Sheng Zixi. He was thinking about how he should help Sheng Zixi if she came to him to complain after leaving the Prince Chen's residence.
Su Wenyuan is a master of sophistry; she will certainly not admit to kidnapping and imprisoning the prince.
But the facts are there, and there's no point in arguing. As long as Sheng Zixi insists that Su Wenyuan tied him up and kept him inside the mansion for a long time, then he can be convicted!
Now it all depends on how long Su Wenyuan will keep Sheng Zixi tied up; of course, the longer the better.
Just as the Emperor was pondering this, Sheng Zixi returned...
Upon hearing from the palace servants that the Eighth Prince was requesting an audience, the Emperor was utterly speechless.
How wonderful! A whole group of them were completely fooled by Su Wenyuan on New Year's Eve.
On her way back to the palace, Sheng Zixi also figured out what had happened.
He shouldn't have left. He should have stayed longer so he could have claimed that he was being imprisoned in the Prince Chen's residence.
Now, after just a few words, he's out, claiming he was kidnapped and imprisoned by Su Wenyuan. Who would believe that?!
But by then he realized it was too late! He was too ashamed to face the Emperor again.
He even left the imperial physician at Prince Chen's residence, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.
Upon seeing the Emperor, Sheng Zixi knelt down with a thud, without uttering a single word.
I felt ashamed and speechless; I really didn't know where to begin.
I was fooled all night; any one of the things that happened on its own is quite ridiculous.
Especially the last thing, what a great opportunity to punish Su Wenyuan, but he ruined it.
There was no way around it; he had spent too much time with Su Wenyuan, and he was genuinely terrified, his heart pounding with fear.
At the time, he was only thinking about escaping and didn't think about anything else. He was afraid that Su Wenyuan might suddenly decide to kill him.
The Emperor was speechless. After teaching him for so long, he couldn't even compete with Sheng Jingyu. He was easily outmaneuvered by Su Wenyuan.
Beside him was another man, the Duke of Wan, whose face was full of secrets but who refused to speak.
The three of them were all failures, and to make matters worse, after dawn, he still had to go to worship his ancestors and Buddha, and there was a lot of other things to do.
"Let's disperse..." The emperor's voice was weak and he had a slight headache; he needed to rest.
Sheng Zixi hung her head and was about to get up and leave when she saw a eunuch jogging over and whispering a few words in the emperor's ear.
Upon hearing this, the emperor suddenly laughed, but there was a hint of self-mockery in that laugh.
Seeing that the Emperor seemed to have gone mad, Sheng Zixi guessed that it was not good news.
"Sheng Jingyu has regained consciousness, and, as a blessing in disguise, his eye disease has been cured."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Zixi felt utterly dejected, her spirits plummeting to rock bottom. The Duke of Wan even collapsed to the ground, all the previous night's efforts having been for nothing.
The Emperor also said, "Princess Consort Chen has ordered several imperial physicians to be sent back to the palace. Except for Shan Xing, Shan Xing suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Jing Yu while treating him."
"Fortunately, the guards nearby reacted quickly and executed him on the spot, but Shan Xing still left a deep knife wound on Jing Yu's body. That knife wound was enough to prove that Shan Xing deserved to die."
All the troubles were resolved by Su Wenyuan. After the other imperial physicians were taken in, they didn't even see Sheng Jingyu.
Ye Shan prepared food and drink for them and told them to wait, as a royal physician was treating the prince.
They would be treated one by one after the imperial physician finished his treatment.
The imperial physician who was first in line to treat Sheng Jingyu's injuries was Shan Xing.
Later, Ye Shan invited the other imperial physicians into the room and let them watch the assassination attempt through a screen.
The so-called wound was something that Sheng Jingyu already had on his body.
With Shan Xing dead, another lie Su Wenyuan had fabricated also came together. She told Sheng Zixi and the soldiers that the imperial physician was treating Sheng Jingyu. That's right, it was Shan Xing who was treating him at the time; he was also an imperial physician.
Now that the dead have no way to testify, the few who are still alive can prove that Shan Xing was the assassin.
Finally, Su Wenyuan showed them Sheng Jingyu's eyes, which had returned to normal, and even asked why Sheng Jingyu, who had been blind for many years, had suddenly recovered.
The imperial physicians didn't think much of it and gave a serious explanation.
This situation is possible, and it is related to the unexpected incident that Sheng Jingyu encountered tonight.
Sheng Jingyu's eyes returned to normal only after he had experienced a great shock.
Su Wenyuan suddenly realized what was happening and warmly sent people to escort them back to the palace.
From the perspective of these imperial physicians, they did nothing. They were just waiting to treat Sheng Jingyu when they witnessed Shan Xing's assassination attempt. Then the prince woke up, and even his eyes were healed.
Blindness can sometimes be reversed suddenly, as they themselves have stated.
With this statement in place, the emperor could no longer question the matter.
The fake doctor arranged by Su Wenyuan is no longer needed, and Sheng Jingyu no longer needs to worry about the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Most importantly, he no longer needs to pretend.
The Emperor suffered one blow after another today. The imperial physicians had just returned to the palace when the Emperor summoned them away.
It wasn't a question, it was a medical consultation. The emperor felt dizzy and lightheaded, accompanied by shortness of breath, and he didn't know why.
After taking the emperor's pulse, the imperial physician said that the emperor's condition was caused by excessive emotional excitement.
Indeed, the Emperor was very excited, extremely excited!
He went through all that trouble tonight, but in the end, nothing made him happy! How could he not be upset?
Moreover, he did Sheng Jingyu a great favor, allowing Sheng Jingyu to stop pretending to be blind.
The emperor dared not think about these things in detail, for fear of angering himself to death.
Even if they don't die, being half-dead like Su Yuan is unacceptable.
The emperor quickly ordered the imperial physician to prescribe a remedy, as he was terrified of suffering a stroke.
Sheng Zixi left the Imperial Study and went straight to Chengming Palace to seek help from the Empress.
The reason they were able to stand before the emperor all these years was because Sheng Jingyu was blind, so he could not be made crown prince or succeed to the throne.
Now that he's back, they're going to be ignored again.
Sheng Jingyu is clearly faking it, and he's been faking it for so many years!
Now that he has clearly explained his feigned blindness, the emperor can no longer use it to punish him. How did things turn out this way?
The Empress was also busy, busy searching for the palace servants who had taken the blame, busy destroying evidence, and busy thinking about how to explain things to the Emperor.
The matter of bringing Consort Wan out has become a fait accompli.
