Chapter 163 The Third Prince Leaves the Stage
Wen Ling glanced at the Third Princess and curled her lips: "The Third Prince is lucky to have married a blessed Princess. If he listens to your Princess, stops making trouble, and takes good care of himself, he might be able to live a few more years."
But the Third Prince obviously wasn't going to listen. His mind was filled with thoughts about how there really was a foreign object in his lungs and whether he would really get lung cancer and would not live more than two years.
Wen Ling didn't care whether he listened to her or not. After all, what she said was just a fact and she didn't make it up.
However, people generally cannot know their lifespan at will, especially those who are short-lived. If they knew their lifespan in advance, they might live in torment every day.
Wen Ling had long seen that the third prince was a short-lived man. Even though he looked so healthy now, the stronger a person is, the more likely he is to be seriously ill when he gets sick.
So no matter how much the Third Prince jumped around, no matter how powerful he was in the government, she told Gu Chenran to be patient and not pay any attention to him, because he wouldn't be able to jump around for long.
Based on his complete trust in Wen Lingshi, Gu Chenran did not ask why the third prince would not be able to stay alive for long.
But now he knew that it was because the third prince died young.
It was the Third Prince's fault for being so weird and clever in front of her today, otherwise she wouldn't have said it.
He argued with her and she stated the fact. This does not transcend cause and effect. It is reasonable, right?
The third prince behind was really like a deflated ball, listless and uneasy.
Although the emperor did not like the third prince's temper, he was his son after all, and was very motivated and serious. He felt bad when he heard about his physical condition.
It was rare for her to give the Third Prince a gentle encouragement: "Third Prince, it's okay. It's discovered early now. As long as you get proper treatment, Princess Chen once said that the future is not unchangeable."
If the Third Prince had been encouraged by the Emperor before, he would have been so excited that his tail would have been raised.
But now he could only give the emperor a forced smile, which was more painful than crying.
Later, he didn't even wait until the show was over, but left early, saying that he was not feeling well.
The remaining princes sighed in their hearts. You said you were fine, why did you mess with Wen Ling?
Now, it’s New Year’s Day, and first you lost a thousand-year-old ginseng, and then you find out that you only have two years to live. Isn’t this just asking for trouble?
From now on, they kept in mind a truth, that is, the Prince of Chen must not be provoked, and the Princess of Chen must not be provoked at all.
At this time, Gu Chenran didn't know that Wen Ling only used one sentence to eliminate a strong rival on his way to the throne.
After the third prince returned, he did not even finish celebrating the New Year. One day later, on the third day of the New Year, he rushed back to the Greater Khingan Range where his mother and her family lived.
In the Greater Khingan Range, there lived a hidden miracle doctor who had been supported by a noble family for generations. When the doctor came out of the mountains, the results of his examinations were exactly the same as what Wen Ling had said.
Even if treatment is started now, there is only a 50% chance of survival, and that is just survival, not a cure.
Even if they survive, they will be frail and sickly, and will not live long. They can only live to forty or fifty at most.
But if the disease is not discovered and treated now, and is not discovered until it breaks out, the patient will not survive more than two years.
Treatment is a long-term battle and a long-term undertaking.
All the fresh and rare medicinal materials needed are in Daxinganling. If the Third Prince returns to the capital, there will definitely not be the conditions for treatment.
Therefore, in order to survive and receive treatment, the third prince will have to live in Daxinganling for a long time.
In this way, the struggle for the throne in the capital would have nothing to do with him.
But even if you seize the throne, you must have a life to sit on it. Compared to the throne, life is naturally more important.
From then on, the third prince moved from the capital to live in Daxinganling.
I heard that the Third Prince’s wife never left him and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the following year. In any case, this saved the Third Prince’s bloodline.
Of course, this is a later story.
After paying New Year's greetings to the Emperor today, the princes dispersed to pay their respective mothers New Year's greetings.
Finally, they would have dinner together with the emperor in the Imperial Garden, say some auspicious words to each other, wish each other a happy new year, and then go their separate ways. This New Year would be considered over.
Gu Chenran and Wen Ling left the imperial study. The mothers of other princes had sent people to pick up the princes, but Concubine Xian did not send anyone.
This is actually a kind of indirect unwelcome, or a stern look.
At this time, Gordon walked out of the imperial study quickly and brought two sedan chairs with him.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty is considerate of the fact that Prince Chen has difficulty walking and Princess Chen is weak, so he has specially arranged two sedan chairs for me to escort you two."
In fact, Gordon had already discovered that there was no one sent by Concubine Xian to pick her up outside, and he revealed it to the emperor intentionally or unintentionally.
The emperor guessed it as soon as he heard it, it must be Concubine Xian who disliked Gu Chenran.
He had never realized that Empress Xian was such a person before. So it didn't matter whether she liked Gu Chenran or not, but he couldn't neglect Wen Ling.
So the emperor quickly asked Gordon to arrange two sedan chairs.
Since Gao Deng returned to the palace that time, he was assigned to serve as a close eunuch to the emperor.
He did a very good job and the emperor was very happy to use him. Now he did more work for the emperor than the old eunuch chief eunuch Fulin.
After Gordon finished speaking, he smiled at Wen Ling, his eyes full of expectation.
It seemed as if he was asking Wen Ling, "Do you think I have done my best and lived up to your help in the woods?"
Wen Ling saw it, and without anyone seeing, she gave Gordon a thumbs up.
Gordon just felt that the spring breeze that had blown into his heart in the grove was blowing in again.
His heart was beating fast, his eyes felt hot, and his nose felt a little sore. He quickly lowered his head, not wanting Wen Ling to see that he was almost crying.
But he secretly swore in his heart that after he cleared the injustice against his family, he would repay Wen Ling double and be willing to die for her, even at the cost of his life!
The people carrying the sedan chair walked through the snow and arrived at the Yangxin Palace where Concubine Xian was.
There were red lanterns hanging in the Yangxin Palace, but it didn't look as lively and festive as the other palaces.
Probably because the expressions on the faces of the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door did not show any life.
When the young eunuch guarding the gate saw Wen Ling and his companions' sedan chair, he was stunned at first, and then hurried in to report.
Once he went in, he didn't come out for a long time.
It was obvious that Concubine Xian deliberately left them out.
Gao Deng frowned immediately and shouted at another palace maid standing guard outside: "Prince Chen and Princess Chen came here in the sedan chair granted by the Emperor. Empress Xian actually let the Emperor's sedan chair wait outside for so long. Is she deliberately neglecting the Emperor?"
The maid was startled and said quickly, "Please wait a moment, eunuch. I will go in and tell them. Maybe something happened inside and they were delayed. It was definitely not intentional!"
