At this moment, Princess Fuqing was extremely nervous.
Having been blind for so many years, no one knows better than her what it feels like to stay in the dark for a long time, and no one's desire for light is stronger than her.
Because of this, I become more and more worried about gains and losses.
Deep down in her heart, she couldn't help but hold on to hope, but the more she felt this way, the less she dared to say anything easily. In the end, she could only say, "I don't know."
"This cloth--" Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si smiled and took Princess Fuqing's hand, walking towards the spacious hall.
It was a bright morning, and the windows of the hall were bright and unusually bright.
Through the cloth, Princess Fuqing vaguely felt a hazy red.
"Fuqing, how do you feel?" The Queen approached Princess Fuqing and asked cautiously.
Princess Fuqing said nothing.
The queen glanced at Jiang Si with a stern look, "When can you take off the princess's towel?"
"Your Majesty, please be patient."
Jiang Si said something simple and clear, and the queen was immediately helpless.
Snakes have weak points, people have weak points, and Princess Fuqing is the Empress' weak point.
The emperor and empress were in no mood to talk and just waited silently.
In this silence, the palace maids serving in the hall couldn't help but breathe more lightly, trying their best to reduce their presence.
The princess has been blind for so many years and has been examined by almost every imperial physician, and countless famous doctors have been invited, but all of them are helpless. The Princess of Yan only met the princess once and she said she could cure her eye disease?
The Queen is right, the Princess of Yan is just trying to curry favor with the public!
But has she never thought about the wrath of the empress?
Could it be that Princess Yan was possessed by an evil spirit, causing her to do such a ridiculous act?
Amid the speculation of the crowd, Jiang Si finally spoke: "Princess, don't move. I will take off the cloth from your eyes."
"I——" Princess Fuqing suddenly grabbed Jiang Si's hand and tensed up.
In the midst of extreme tension, my eyes suddenly felt lighter.
The emperor and empress both held their breath and stared at Princess Fuqing's reaction.
Princess Fuqing closed her eyes, at a loss for a moment.
"Princess, open your eyes and try."
Princess Fuqing couldn't help but twitch her eyelids when she heard the gentle yet firm voice.
She didn't dare.
Princess Fuqing didn't move for a long time, and her pretty face was pale.
The queen finally couldn't help herself and said, "Fuqing, open your eyes and give it a try."
Princess Fuqing looked hesitant.
The voice next to my ear rang again: "Didn't the princess say that the worst that can happen is the same old thing, so what are you afraid of?"
These words prompted Princess Fuqing to make up her mind, and she took a gamble and opened her eyes suddenly.
She gradually found the focus and saw the red pillars carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, and the exquisitely painted caisson ceiling.
Looking down, I saw the empress's face, which was dignified and beautiful but showed signs of aging.
Princess Fuqing's tears fell.
The queen was anxious and grabbed Princess Fuqing's hand: "A Quan, what's wrong?"
Princess Fuqing suddenly burst into tears.
In front of the emperor and empress, Jiang Si and his wife, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs, Princess Fuqing cried heartbreakingly, completely forgetting the demeanor of a royal princess.
The queen panicked and asked in a loud voice: "A Quan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."
Emperor Jingming pushed the empress away and held Princess Fuqing's shoulders: "Aquan, did you see it?"
The idiot queen, given Fuqing's temperament, how could she cry if she still couldn't see? She would just smile and say don't worry...
Despite this speculation, Emperor Jingming was still eagerly waiting for Princess Fuqing's answer.
Princess Fuqing hugged Emperor Jingming and cried out loudly: "Father, I saw... your beard is so long..."
Emperor Jingming's mouth twitched for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, tears actually flowed down his eyes: "I'm glad to see it, I'm glad to see it, I knew that a good child like Fuqing must be blessed..."
There was only a gurgling sound, followed by the screams of the palace maids: "Empress, Empress——"
The queen fainted from excitement.
Princess Fuqing was so frightened that she rushed over and shouted, "Mother, wake up--"
The palace maids and eunuchs all looked at Emperor Jingming in panic, waiting for him to order the imperial physician to be summoned.
Emperor Jingming walked over quickly and pinched the empress's philtrum with his hand.
When it comes to sending imperial physicians, the Empress only knows how to cause trouble.
The empress woke up immediately after being pinched mercilessly. She saw the face of Emperor Jingming and asked subconsciously, "Where is Fuqing?"
She sat up suddenly: "Your Majesty, am I dreaming?"
Princess Fuqing, who was standing by, held the empress's arm and burst into tears: "Mother, you are not dreaming, I really saw it..."
The Queen finally realized the reality of the situation and hugged Princess Fuqing and cried bitterly.
The cries of the mother and daughter echoed in the hall, and the palace maids raised their hands and quietly wiped their tears.
Emperor Jingming looked at the empress and princess who had lost their composure, as well as the palace maids who were not even qualified to cry openly, and he did not feel annoyed at all, but only felt extremely relieved.
After the excitement, everyone's attention returned to Jiang Si.
The queen had already changed her attitude, and looked at Jiang Si with genuine kindness in her eyes: "Princess Yan, I never thought that you could really cure Fuqing's eyes. I... I thank you very much..."
Jiang Si knelt slightly before the Queen and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. I am very happy that you have cured the princess' eyes."
In her previous life, she came back from southern Xinjiang with Yu Qi. She knew that Princess Fuqing suffered from an eye disease but she did not dare to stand up and say that it could be cured.
She feels guilty.
She was the Saint Asan, but she looked so similar to the missing Third Young Lady of the Anguo Mansion that she was afraid that she would be too conspicuous and be discovered.
For this reason, she kept a low profile and even wanted to live her own life behind closed doors with Yu Qi.
Later, it was said that Princess Fuqing slipped and fell off the high platform and died...
Although Princess Fuqing's death had nothing to do with him, Jiang Si was still in a heavy mood for a long time. Sometimes he couldn't help thinking that if he had the courage to cure Princess Fuqing's eyes, this young girl would not have died tragically.
If she had the chance to do it all over again, Jiang Si didn't want to experience that feeling of repressed regret again, and out of her own interests, she cured Princess Fuqing's eyes. As a queen who truly loved her daughter, she would be more or less biased towards her in the future.
Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Si with interest and asked, "Seventh Wife, how do you cure Fuqing's eye disease?"
Jiang Si knew that Emperor Jingming would ask this question, so he calmly said, "I don't know why, but as soon as I saw the princess' eyes, I knew she had worms and could be cured."
Emperor Jingming was surprised: "You know it from birth?"
In this era, strange stories of people being born with knowledge happen from time to time, and people do not find such things absurd. There is even a saying by a sage: "He who is born with knowledge is the best, and he who learns knowledge is the next best."
Emperor Jingming did not believe all of Jiang Si's words. He stared at her for a long time without any guilty look, and laughed: "Seventh Brother, you married a good wife."
It doesn't matter whether I lied or not, the truth is that I cured Fuqing's eyes.
