CHAPTER 733: CHAPTER 735, POISONED AGAIN (3 UPDATES)

Yun Jinnian shook his head slightly, "Hemei and Henuan stay behind; all other irrelevant people leave, and stay far away. The injury is to the eye—a fraction of an inch could be fatal..."

Chu Xinhuan immediately ordered the maids and old women to withdraw. Even those who carried water were Hidden Guards from the residence, skilled in martial arts and moving without a sound.

The Princess and Mrs. Dai also wanted to stay, but Chu Xinhuan scowled.

The Princess spoke directly, "Everyone leave!"

The room suddenly quieted down, and the scent of cosmetics also faded.

Only then did Yun Jinnian open the medicine box, took out the Blood Lotus Pill, had Hemei dissolve it in boiling water, and slowly fed it to the little ’Prince’ by hand.

"Little ’Prince’, don’t be afraid; you will get better!"

The child was still small. Yun Jinnian waited a long while before taking out some narcotic medicine and letting him sniff it until he fell asleep.

Then he took a cloth and wiped the blood around the eye.

He spoke softly, "Logically, a child’s strength shouldn’t be too great. Even if the eyeball was pierced, it shouldn’t have penetrated into the socket. I suspect that after the first injury, someone else meddled with it!"

Upon hearing this, the Princess was shocked, dumbfounded, and furious.

"There were several maids and old women serving at that time; it’s hard to know which one it was," said the Princess.

Of course, better to wrongly kill a hundred than to spare one—those useless maids and old women had already been sent to the Yellow Springs.

Yun Jinnian remained silent.

The Princess spoke no further but said to Chu Yu, "Ayu, come out with me!"

Chu Yu hurriedly followed, "Uncle?"

"Ayu, now that I and your cousin Xinhuan can’t leave, I need your help to take care of the rest. You must find the mastermind behind this. And don’t let the wet nurse go either; arrest her family members as well!"

The Princess continued, paused, then added, "As the little ’Prince’ was injured, she was by his side. He would definitely have sought her first. If it’s as Princess Yijia said, with a second injury involved, she cannot be absolved..."

The little ’Princess’ Jade could only exert so much strength.

At most, she could have pierced the eyeball; it’s impossible for her to have hit the eye socket.

Moreover, at that time, the maids and old women all said they didn’t know why the two children started arguing and suddenly lashed out.

The little ’Prince’ was far too reliant on his wet nurse.

"Don’t worry, Uncle. I will handle it well," Chu Yu said gravely.

Adult vendettas shouldn’t involve children, especially one so young.

At an age where he understood nothing.

The Princess nodded and re-entered the room.

Yun Jinnian was already washing and drying his hands, with many differently colored porcelain bottles set alongside. The lids of the bottles had been opened.

"Can the eye be saved?" the Princess couldn’t help but ask.

Although he already knew the answer and the Imperial Physicians dared not operate.

Yun Jinnian shook his head slightly, "To save his life is already a stroke of luck!"

After drying his hands, Yun Jinnian began to apply needles.

It was not only about removing the hairpin but also about cleaning the eye, which meant the child would be left with one eye from now on.

And that wasn’t all. Who knew if the nerves had been damaged, and if he would become an imbecile from then on?

Moreover, there was the poison within his body...

Yun Jinnian focused his mind and carefully removed the hairpin.

Then he began cleaning the wound.

Basin after basin of bloody water was carried out. Even the Princess felt faint, and Chu Xinhuan reached out to support him.

"Father?"

The Princess shook his head slightly.

After an excruciating hour and more, Yun Jinnian finally finished, washed his hands, and bandaged the little ’Prince’.

Covering the injured eye.

"It’s done!"

Yun Jinnian said as he washed his hands at one side. After thinking for a moment, he instructed, "Where is that wet nurse? I want to see her!"

"Is there something amiss with that wet nurse?" the Princess hastily inquired.
