The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 143 - 113: Panpan Visits Her Brother

The Emperor not only held Panpan but also engaged in conversation with her.

"What’s your name?"

"Panpan, Xiao Panpan."

"How old are you?"

"Two years old."

Xiao Chunyu’s heart twinged; in fact, she was only a year and a half, two years was the nominal age.

One must say, Panpan is a remarkable child; while others sit at seven months, crawl at eight, and teethe by nine, Panpan reached each milestone a month earlier. By eleven months, she started speaking, and before her first birthday, she could walk steadily on her short little legs.

In the past few months, not only has she learned to talk, but she has formed her own opinions, favoring beautiful people the most. She prefers Molan over Jian Lan due to looks and would fuss to be held by Molan; if there were any handsome little boys around, she would not take her eyes off them, even wanting to play.

People simply treated her as a child, and didn’t manage such behavior.

Who knew things would develop like this; upon entering the Imperial Palace, seeing the Emperor’s handsome face, she actively sought to be held and even touched his face.

Xiao Chunyu truly feared her and her daughter’s heads might not stay intact!

Really... this little troublemaker invites trouble like no other!

"Two years old, how well-behaved."

The Emperor himself didn’t know why his anger, originally blazing as he left Kunning Palace, softened when approached by this little bundle requiring to be held; he actually listened to her demand and held her.

Regret arose upon taking her in his arms, but she was a person, not a hot potato, so he couldn’t just toss her away and decided to exchange some words. Turns out, the little one could respond well... especially obediently, enough to soften his whole heart.

Turning to see Mr. Fu’s shocked expression, he couldn’t help but despise the fellow’s ignorance.

"Panpan, is it?"

"Yes, Uncle, I am Panpan, very well-behaved Panpan."

Xiao Chunyu... didn’t even know how she gave birth to such a chatterbox.

"Indeed, very well-behaved. Come, Uncle will take you to see the Big Brother."

"Great, see Big Brother, Panpan will see Big Brother."

Xiao Chunyu hadn’t recovered, when the child was scooped up by the Emperor and carried towards Kunning Palace.

Let’s...

"Nanny, Panpan is indeed young, I fear she..."

"Miss Xiao should hurry along; I will report to the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace."

"Thank you, Nanny."

Xiao Chunyu sighed inwardly: Indeed, he is her son, the Empress Dowager’s thoughts were guessed by him. In the end, it’s plotting against herself.

Panpan is so young, the eldest Prince is ill, according to reason, he shouldn’t be taken to see him, but they did it anyway.

This is truly the proficiency of the Royal Family in planning!

Fortunately, the eldest Prince’s illness is not a contagious disease, otherwise... Xiao Chunyu silently curbed her anger.

Facing the overwhelming power of the Royal Family, truly it’s anger that dare not be spoken; whatever they do is justified; truly it’s the way of royalty to command life and death!

At Kunning Palace, several Imperial Physicians were consulting on prescriptions, bickering intensely over a single herb.

The Empress looking at their quarrel felt wearied.

Say they’re not diligent, yet they serve daily; but if they are diligent, still they cannot cure the Prince.

Watching the Prince, getting worse daily, while they squabble here.

"Attendances, drive them out of my palace."

Unable to bear further, no need to bear it anymore, unable to heal the Prince, what use are they?

The Empress directly ordered the Imperial Physicians out of Kunning Palace.

One must say, the Imperial Physicians are truly lucky; being chased out, the Emperor immediately arrived with Panpan.

"Your Majesty, this is..." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The Empress was also exhausted mentally, no longer attentive even to the palace princesses, knowing neither whose daughter this one is.

"Auntie, you’re beautiful, Auntie..."

The Empress, watching the child reaching out towards her, widened her eyes: When did she become an Auntie?

No, which concubine failed so at training their child?

Are those nannies mere decor?

"Auntie, Panpan came to see Brother."

Panpan came to see Brother... The Empress was even more bewildered, Panpan, is there such a princess in the palace?

"Civil woman Xiao Chunyu greets the Empress, long live the Empress."

"Is it Miss Xiao?" The Empress suddenly recalled; she’d heard from the nanny that Xiao Chunyu’s daughter was named Panpan, who wasn’t regarded highly by the Wu family from birth, and after Xiao Chunyu’s dismissal the child took on the Xiao surname, the Emperor holds this child?

This... The Empress gave Xiao Chunyu a meaningful gaze; her complexion wasn’t good, her appearance... merely acceptable, besides, she is a discarded woman, already a mother, would the Emperor really be so desperate?

"Miss Xiao’s daughter is indeed charming."

"Auntie is even more charming."

Xiao Chunyu’s forehead was touching the floor, wishing she could vanish into a hole.

How did she bear such a brazen chatterbox?

Calling the Emperor uncle, the Empress auntie, really treating herself as an important person!

The Empress, hearing her comment how auntie was more charming, also grinned wryly, realizing this child could really climb up the pole.

"Auntie hold."

Then, Panpan lunged towards the Empress.

The Emperor... well, it’s fine, let the Empress hold her.

The Empress, seeing the Emperor extending a hand towards her, couldn’t argue and took the little girl.

"Auntie will hold you to see Brother."

The Empress glanced at the Emperor, who nodded.

The Empress... seemed to have understood something more!

"Alright, Auntie will hold you to see Brother, Brother is sick, Brother refuses to take medicine..."

By now, the eldest Prince was medicine-resistant, and the Empress’ heart was in pieces comparing the enthusiasm between this two-year-old child and her son.

Once her son was a lively little child too, who knew as he grew older, his constitution would weaken.

Previously, with Doctor Xiao’s aid, things were better, but...

In her heart, the Empress resented the Emperor greatly.

Doctor Xiao was executed, the eldest Prince fell ill, the Imperial Hospital’s physicians were clueless; only then did the Empress realize she was also a pawn in a grand scheme, the mastermind being utterly ruthless.

Therefore, when Xiao Chunyu petitioned, she and the Empress Dowager supported her, as a compensation for guilt regarding Doctor Xiao.

"Brother, Brother..."

The eldest Prince, hearing the tender voice, slightly opened his eyes.

"Son, this is Panpan, Doctor Xiao’s great-granddaughter."

The Empress observed delightedly, for the eldest Prince hadn’t opened his eyes after a day and a night of slumber, yet hearing Panpan’s voice caused him to awaken; was this a sign?

"Panpan..."

"Brother..."

The Empress placed the child beside the eldest Prince on the bed.

She watched as Panpan rummaged in her pocket, and then took out something small and black, forcing it into the eldest Prince’s mouth.

"Brother, eat the cake."

"Panpan..." The Empress tried to stop her, but saw the Prince had already begun chewing and swallowed: "Son, how come..."

Can eat something randomly? It’s untested for poison, what if...

"Mother, very fragrant, delicious." The eldest Prince said: "Mother, Che’er wants more."
