Chapter 183 Prince Yu’s eyes have recovered!
The welcome banquet was unexpectedly met with a terrible disaster. Princess Yu, who was six months pregnant, Bai Lianyi, the only son of Prince Pingnan, and Xue'er, the adopted daughter, disappeared without a trace. They were truly gone, neither alive nor dead.
After three days and three nights of salvage, no remains were found.
However, Empress Defei was so grief-stricken that she lost the fetus.
Disasters occurred one after another, and the whole country was in grief for a while.
Rumors spread throughout Dayan, and people were in panic.
Everyone said that the explosion scene was so horrific and the scale of the destruction was so large that people were probably blown to pieces and burned to ashes.
Needless to say, the emperor, Prince Pingnan and others were extremely sad. Even the eunuch Zhao, who was always smiling, was so sad that he kept his head down and wiped away his tears.
Poor Princess Yu, she was a great contributor to the Great Yan Kingdom, but she ended up like this.
Prince Yu is currently blind, the Third and Fourth Princes are useless, and Prince Bai is also gone. If the surrounding countries take advantage of the chaos to launch a war, I'm afraid innocent people will suffer again...
Unable to find Qing'er, Li Zhenting jumped into the lake like a madman. He wanted to find Qing'er! He wanted to see her alive or dead!
Zhan Nishang was afraid of any accidents, so she simply jumped into the water.
When she surfaced, she was holding the unconscious prince in her hands. In front of everyone, she used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to revive him.
Two days later.
"Please take care of yourself, Your Highness. Nishang knows that Your Highness is worried about the Princess, but Your Highness must not forget your mission! Now that the Princess is in trouble, the most likely cause is the Mingye Palace of the Xiao Kingdom. If Your Highness truly cares about the Princess, he should treat her eye disease as soon as possible and avenge her!"
Seeing the depressed Prince Yu, Zhan Nishang tried hard to persuade him.
Although she really couldn't like Fang Qingqing because of Li Zhenting's injury, she still felt sad for her now that Fang Qingqing had suffered this disaster.
She is his beloved, and she is pregnant with his child. Mingye Palace killed her and her child, which broke Li Zhenting's heart. Such a deep blood feud must be avenged!
She, Zhan Nishang, must help him!
"Your Highness, please cooperate with Nishang to diagnose your illness!"
Zhan Nishang had just placed Huo Lian next to Li Zhenting when she suddenly discovered that Li Zhenting's eyes, which had originally been dull, had started to shine.
He put the golden mask back on his face and waved her away.
He said his eyes had recovered and he didn't need any treatment at all.
He got up and walked out.
The reason why he had not taken the elixir left by his master, Patriarch Xuanyun, in time was that he wanted to keep it for use when Qing'er gave birth.
After all, she was pregnant with twins, and the delivery must have been very difficult. The queen mother died during childbirth.
Now that Qing'er is gone, what's the point of keeping the elixir?
He must get better as soon as possible to capture the murderer of Mingye Palace and avenge Qing'er and her two sons with his own hands!
As soon as the door opened, they were greeted by mournful faces. Xuan Qingshan, Princess Yunqing, Concubine Song, the Huayuan Envoy, the little raccoon cat, and even Tong'er, whose injuries hadn't healed yet and who could only stand with the help of a maid, were all there.
Everyone's eyes were red, and Tong'er was crying uncontrollably, with tear marks all over her face.
One is the princess who saved her life, and the other is Prince Bai who is as close to her as a brother. How could she not be heartbroken when such an accident happened to both of them at the same time!
"I swear that blood debt will be repaid with blood! I will definitely seek justice for Qing'er and Lao Si!"
"Brother, your eyes, your eyes..."
Yun Qing screamed in shock, tears welling up in her eyes. Her second brother's eyes, which had been dull since his injury, now had a luster!
"Second brother, are your eyes really healed?"
Xuan Qingshan, who was usually not good at speaking, even spoke with a trembling voice. Good thing, second brother can see now, his injuries are no longer serious. He must help second brother and wipe out the Mingye Palace without a single piece of armor left!
Li Zhenting nodded seriously and walked out of the palace gate quickly. Fengying and the other four guards had already been waiting outside. Each of them had red eyes and stood with their backs straight, looking at Li Zhenting with firm eyes.
As long as the prince regains his sight, they will, under his leadership, avenge the princess and Prince Bai!
Xuan Zheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.
"The Xiao Kingdom has already spread its evil hands into the Imperial Palace and injured my Qing'er and Lian'er. If I don't avenge this, what good am I to be the ruler of a country?"
"But Prince Yu's eye disease hasn't healed yet, and the Thunder Army is leaderless. I wonder who can lead the Western Expedition?"
For several days in a row, Prince Jiajing sent several groups of people to the lake to look for Fang Qingqing and Bai Lianyi but to no avail.
Currently, Prince Yu is bedridden due to an unexpected misfortune. Prime Minister Cao, Grand Tutor Pang and others, suppressing their grief, built a cenotaph for Prince Yu's wife and Prince Bai. They were worried that Prince Yu would be reminded of the past, so they have not dared to inform Li Zhenting until now.
"I am willing to lead the army westward to crush the Xiao Kingdom and avenge the princess!"
Veteran General Liu Xiaoquan volunteered to take the order, and the princess played an indispensable role in successfully retaking military power from Lü Pei'an. He had been hoping that the princess would create more telekinetic devices to equip the army, but he had never expected such a disaster to happen!
The anger on his face was palpable.
"The Imperial Guards haven't trained for years. If they rush into battle now, I'm afraid they'll just be throwing away lives. Why don't you ask the General to continue training the troops? I'll follow your orders and lead the elite troops of the Thunder Army into the Xiao Kingdom to avenge the Princess and Prince Bai!"
General Sun Kuang stepped out and said with a sad face.
When they saw that it was Sun Kuang who came out to receive the order, a group of civil officials immediately started whispering to each other.
This Sun Kuang is the father-in-law of the current emperor. He is the father of the current Concubine De, Sun Lanxin, and the brother of Sun Di, who was killed by Li Zhenting with a sword.
After all, because of the Sun Di incident, he cursed Li Zhenting behind his back for being cruel and ruthless. If Li Zhenting was not the son of the current emperor and the future crown prince, Sun Kuang would have avenged his brother long ago!
Is he willing to send troops to avenge the princess? I'm afraid he has no good intentions!
"That's quite unusual. General Sun has been a general of the Imperial Guard for many years, and he's well-fed and strong. I'm afraid he can't even jump onto a warhorse. How can you lead the troops into battle?"
Liu Xiaoquan made no secret of his disdain for Sun Kuang. If he hadn't relied on Concubine De, he'd be nothing more than a drunkard. His dispatch of troops was Sima Yi's intention, and everyone knew it.
The expedition was fake, but the real intention was to use this opportunity to destroy the elite of the Thunder Army!
"General Liu is wrong! The Mingye Palace of Xiao Nation has committed heinous crimes, harming Princess Yu and Prince Bai, and even the unborn child of Concubine De! As Concubine De's father, I, Sun Kuang, must avenge her! I implore General Liu to put aside our past grudges and prioritize the greater good!"
"To judge a gentleman by one's own standards is unbecoming of a general!"
This sentence choked Liu Xiaoquan so much that he could only stare and puff at his beard. After all, he was a general on horseback, and was good at leading troops in battles. He was really not good at this kind of verbal battle.
After much deliberation, Prince Jiajing decided that Sun Kuang was the most suitable person at the moment. If Liu Xiaoquan were to be dispatched, and if the surrounding states united to attack Dayan, the country's borders would be lost!
"Your Majesty, I request your permission to attack the owl!"
Before Prince Jiajing could speak, a loud voice was heard!
When everyone looked up, they were overjoyed.
It turned out to be Li Zhenting!
