Chapter 375: A Hidden Agenda



“Is the Crown Prince not going to make it?” Concubine Xian’s face turned deathly pale as she supported herself against the table, barely able to stand.

The Imperial Physician quickly replied, “Your Highness is overthinking it; the Crown Prince’s life isn’t in danger.”

“That’s good, that’s good…”

“However…”

Before Concubine Xian could let out a sigh of relief, the Imperial Physician continued, “I’m afraid the Crown Prince will never walk again.”

Concubine Xian’s face instantly turned ghastly white, and she collapsed to the ground.

The Emperor frowned, “Can he only lie down?”

“He can, um, also use a wheelchair, like Princess Consort of Yu.” The Imperial Physician responded cautiously.

The Emperor’s frown deepened.

If he is disabled, how can he still be the Crown Prince?

Would the Great Sheng Dynasty really accept a disabled Emperor?

The Empress asked, “As Imperial Physicians, can’t you come up with any other solutions?”

The Imperial Physicians exchanged glances, their faces showing difficulty.

The Emperor had a good idea of what was going on in his mind.

His Crown Prince was essentially ruined.

Concubine Xian sobbed loudly.

The Empress was also angry, “This Fifth Brother has gone mad since his return. We understand his love for Princess Consort of Yu, but he shouldn’t have been so ruthless to his own brother. It’s too cruel…”

The Emperor glanced at her.

The Empress was suddenly startled and regretted her words.

Everyone knew how Emperor Li Changgeng had snatched the Imperial Throne from his brother.

Not only did he injure his Crown Prince brother, but he killed him outright.

Compared to the Emperor, Prince of Yu merely injured his brother.

That glance from the Emperor held a deeper meaning.

The Empress regretted her words and forced a smile, “It’s just a small misunderstanding between brothers; nothing that can’t be resolved. Concubine Xian, you should stop crying too. In our opinion, this Crown Prince is also useless. He already has so many beautiful wives and concubines, yet he still lusts after his sister-in-law. If word gets out, it would tarnish the royal family’s reputation. Being disciplined with a beating is a good lesson.”

Concubine Xian cursed inwardly.

That wretched Empress, always playing both sides, speaking differently depending on the situation.

Though she cursed in her heart, she didn’t dare reveal any of it on her face or in her words.

“Your Highness, the Empress, I only have this one son. He is my support for the latter half of my life. If he turns out like this, how can I go on?”

The Emperor said indifferently, “I’m not dead yet.”

Concubine Xian quickly replied, “I only meant that my heart aches for him…”

“Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

With that, the Emperor turned and left.

The Empress gave a few words of advice before following suit.

Clearly, neither the Emperor nor the Empress was satisfied with the Crown Prince, nor did they show much concern for him.

How could someone with a disability continue to be the Crown Prince?

At this point, not only was Li Jixian facing the possibility of a lifetime disability, but his future was also uncertain.

Concubine Xian never stopped dreaming of the day she would take her place as the Empress Dowager, but now all her dreams were about to vanish.

How could she not be heartbroken?

Holding her son, she cried her heart out.

Jiang Ning was brought back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion by Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi.

Members of the Jiang Family all gathered around her.

Lin Zizi, Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yan, the two concubines, and the First Madam, along with several sons and daughters of the family, all crowded into Jiang Ning’s small courtyard.

When they heard that Jiang Ning’s legs had been forcibly broken by the Princess Consort, they were all furious.

Although the Jiang Family had internal disputes and jealousy, they always stood united and presented a strong front to the outside world.

In other words, they always closed ranks when faced with a common enemy.

With red, swollen eyes, Lin Zizi stared at her daughter’s face and wept.

The two concubines also had red eyes.

Jiang Yan cried with them.

Although Jiang Yuan remained calm, she frowned, “You seemed quite clever in the past, yet you allowed yourself to be bullied like this.. It’s really useless!”
