Although there was no direct evidence revealing the perpetrator, the Imperial Consort Zhou's expression alone suggested she was involved.
In this state, Rong Qinglei's condition was more of a liability than an asset.
Yue Mingxuan resolved to heal him quickly so that he could have the strength to protect himself.
The prince was now like an arrow on the string, he had no choice but to act, for retreat would only mean death.
Once he regained some health, the surgery could proceed.
Yue Mingxuan thought that performing the operation sooner would also allow Gongsun Xing to provide more careful supervision.
At that moment, an eunuch entered the room while carrying an embroidered box. "Prince Yue, this is something sent to you by Young Master Wang."
Yue Mingxuan accepted the box.
Its weight immediately told him that it contained the surgical instruments he had commissioned.
He gave the eunuch a small tip and sent him away, then opened the box.
