Chapter 141: The Unusual Eyes!

…

“Alright, alright, we can’t run anymore; they didn’t follow us.” Di Zian panted heavily.

At this point, the two had run from the bustling market to a quiet alley.

Di Zian looked at Lan Yixuan, “You’re not tired at all, are you? You’re not even out of breath, and your face isn’t red.”

Lan Yixuan raised her brows, a faint smile on her delicate oval face. “Ahem, I… I’m not tired.”

She spoke very gently, like a little white rabbit.

Di Zian laughed heartily.

Lan Yixuan’s face darkened.

So you think this is funny?

“Lan Yixuan, stop pretending in front of me. You’ve hit me twice already. I know what kind of person you are. Hmm, definitely not a gentle little white rabbit.”

Lan Yixuan secretly rolled her eyes.

“Why hide your true nature? Your real personality is quite good.”

“Thank you for today. If you have time in the future, I’ll treat you to a meal. I have to go now.” Lan Yixuan yawned and prepared to leave.

“Wait a minute.”

“What is it, Seventh Prince?”

Di Zian appeared somewhat awkward. “Um…”

“Speak directly, and if you have something to say, just spit it out!”

“You, a young lady of a noble family, why are you out setting up a stall today?”

“Oh, just to earn some pocket money. Anything else?” Lan Yixuan gave him a quick glance. She was eager to return home.

Di Zian blinked. “I saw you give a talisman to my Third Brother.”

“Oh, that one. Taoist Priest Baiyun gave it to me.”

“Do you have any more?”

Lan Yixuan frowned. “Why?”

“I also want one.”

If she could give one to the Third Brother, he wanted one too.

“You can go find Taoist Priest Baiyun. I only have one.”

“Just one? You gave one to the Third Brother. I’ll pay you. Could you do a fortune-telling for me and give me one too?”

Lan Yixuan scrutinized him, “Seventh Prince, are you a bit out of your mind? I’m not selling talismans here, so why would I give one away just like that?”

“But you could give one to Third Brother, so why can’t you give me one?”

Lan Yixuan rubbed her temples, feeling that Di Zian’s tone was a bit resentful.

It’s just a talisman.

She could give it to whoever she wanted.

“Xuan’er?” A voice called from not far away.

Lan Yixuan turned and smiled brightly, “Sister Yunran!”

Di Zian’s eyes lit up, “Miss Shen.”

Ah, this was his uncle’s fiancée.

“It’s the Seventh Prince.” Shen Yunran walked over gracefully and greeted Di Zian.

She looked at Lan Yixuan and then at Di Zian, “You two…”

“We ran into each other by chance. Did you just return from the border?” Lan Yixuan asked curiously. They had met a few years ago in Yucheng.

At that time, she wasn’t the true daughter of the Lan family.

After recognizing her identity and returning to the capital, they talked about their past and felt it was quite a coincidence.

Years of friendship felt more like sisterhood than actual sisters.

Shen Yunran was a bit older than Lan Yixuan and had recently been abroad, apparently accompanying Su Jinye.

Su Jinye had joined the military.

As soon as the two sisters met, they started chatting endlessly, leaving Di Zian standing aside. When they left, Lan Yixuan didn’t even glance at him.

Left behind, Di Zian: “…”

—

Concubine De took Ah Bao to the Luo residence.

Luo Zifeng was also coming out with Yun Ci.

[Oh, it’s the nice older brother who gave me lollipops]

Ah Bao felt delighted upon seeing Luo Zifeng again.

Concubine De chuckled softly.

Ah Bao had a knack for remembering who gave him treats.

[The nice brother has white aura in his left eye and black aura in his right eye, hmm, the two auras are fighting like twisted dough, really strange]

[Not good, not good, someone has set up a formation to dig out the nice brother’s eyes]

Concubine De’s hands holding Ah Bao trembled slightly.

Once Yun Ci had finished preparing, she was ready to accompany Concubine De to Jinxia Lane. “Lianyi, why do you look a bit absent-minded? Do you have something on your mind?”

Concubine De glanced at Luo Zifeng, “No, let’s bring Feng’er along too; he can keep an eye on Ah Bao for a while.”

Luo Zifeng was waiting for this. Since he last saw Ah Bao, he hadn’t had enough time to hold him.

On the way, Concubine De asked, “Yun Ci, you mentioned before that when you first went to the palace to visit me, you said that Feng’er had encountered danger on the street and nearly lost his sight. Is that true?”

“Yes, I still feel a shiver when I think about it.”

“Fortunately, it was thanks to little Ah Bao. Otherwise, Feng’er might have become blind by now,” Yun Ci patted her chest, recalling the incident as a nightmare.

“Did you find out who tried to harm Feng’er’s eyes?”

Yun Ci sighed, “Later, my husband also investigated but couldn’t catch the culprit. It seems like it was an accident.”

[Not an accident, but premeditated]

[The nice brother’s eyes are exceptionally rare]

Concubine De: ???

What are exceptional eyes?

Since Ah Bao came along, her understanding of many things had been refreshed.

Ah Bao was indeed her precious little warm blanket, very reliable.

She mentally shouted [When the exceptional eyes are revealed, they can see through a person’s diseases and weaknesses]

[But I remember in the original text, the nice brother was actually blind, and the exceptional eyes were on the female protagonist]

[The female protagonist is a miraculous doctor, able to determine life and death with a glance, and has a large personal space where whatever she wants appears. With all her advantages, she stands out on this continent and is revered wherever she goes]

Concubine De sat in the carriage, unmoving.

She kept her gaze fixed on Luo Zifeng.

With the loss of the exceptional eyes, fate could be rewritten.

Good people could turn bad.

The living could become dead.

Yun Ci valued her two sons greatly. If something happened to Luo Zifeng, Yun Ci might not be able to survive.

“Feng’er, Aunt Su noticed you don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?” Concubine De asked gently.

Yun Ci covered her mouth and smiled, “Lianyi, your observation is really sharp. This child has been complaining of headaches and eye pain lately.”

“Could it be the academic pressure from the Imperial Academy? Feng’er is diligent and hardworking. Could it be that he’s overexerted himself, causing problems with his head and eyes?”

“According to what I know, it shouldn’t be. He’s grown up now; he didn’t have such issues when he was young.”

Concubine De: “Has Feng’er seen a doctor?”

Yun Ci sighed, “Yes, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong.”

She knew her son well.

If he wasn’t really in pain, he wouldn’t mention it.

“I heard that the eldest daughter of the Shen family has returned to the capital.” Yun Ci smiled slightly, “Lianyi, you must be familiar with her. I heard she will be your future sister-in-law.”

Su Jinye’s fiancée.

Since Su Jinye joined the military, Shen Yunran had been away from the capital for more than half a year.

“Shen Yunran?”

“Yes, that’s her! I heard she’s very skilled in medicine despite her youth. I want her to take a look at Feng’er, but I don’t know her personally, so I might need your help to introduce me.”

Finding a doctor is easy.

Finding a miraculous doctor is difficult.

Concubine De’s eyes lit up, “Of course, that’s no problem.”

She hoped to protect Luo Zifeng’s eyes; he was a promising child.
