The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 295 - 188

"Going to the Northern Desert?" The Empress was shocked: "Is there someone secretly protecting them?"

Too many coincidences are not coincidences anymore.

When the news brought by her mother into the palace told her that Doctor Xiao’s second granddaughter was making medicine and seeing patients in Shu City, all the coincidences had an answer.

Why every time Panpan brought medicine pills into the palace for Che’er, they always worked.

Yet, those made with the same ingredients by the Imperial Hospital did not suit as well.

It can only be said that Doctor Xiao left the essence of Che’er’s condition to that granddaughter named Chun Nuan.

That girl was also shrewd, finding ways to deliver the medicine to the Capital, to Che’er’s mouth.

Many times, the Empress thought, back then, her failure to protect Doctor Xiao was due to her weakness.

At the same time, she was secretly grateful that the Empress Dowager protected the Xiao family’s women, and later she chose to stand with the Empress Dowager to protect Xiao Chunyu, which brought about the turning point to save Che’er.

In everything, destiny seemed to have its own plan; helping others is helping oneself too.

The Empress believed everything brings rewards.

"In response to Your Majesty, someone has been sent by the Marquis Mansion to protect them."

"That’s good."

The Empress let out a big sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, the daughters of the Xiao family are no less than sons."

The Empress admired greatly.

The previous Xiao Chunyu dared to drag her frail body, which had just recovered from childbirth, across an iron spiked board to appeal in the court, forcefully sending everyone in the Wu family into prison to carve out a path for herself.

The latter, Xiao Chunnuan, under the oppression by family members in Shu City, managed to settle the family with her own capabilities, opening up a path gradually, leading a thriving life.

Yes, every matter the Xiao family faced after going to Shu City was reported to the Empress.

Now, for the sake of relatives in the Northern Desert, Chun Nuan, a girl, had gone to the Northern Desert.

How much determination and endurance would it take to achieve such a feat?

One might ask, what would the daughters of noble families do but cry in such a situation?

"I remember back in the day, wasn’t the second daughter of the Xiao family engaged to the second son of the Zhaang family?"

"Yes, after the incident with Doctor Xiao, the Zhaang family immediately broke off the engagement."

"A blessed woman does not enter a house without blessings." The Empress pulled a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "Have mother look around and see if there is any well-suited son in our family, and I will personally grant her marriage."

"Your Majesty, I’m afraid that’s not proper."

The matron hurried to stop her, apparently, the Empress only heard half of the Marquise’s words.

"Why?" the Empress said: "I don’t underestimate her abilities and talents just because she is the descendant of an Imperial Physician. Let me tell you the truth, if it weren’t for Che’er inheriting the throne, I’d be glad for her to be my daughter-in-law, even if she were three years older, it wouldn’t be a concern."

"I don’t want her to enter the palace because I don’t want to trap her there." The Empress patted Panpan’s chubby little cheek and said: "I am grateful to Doctor Xiao for saving Che’er’s life, so I can’t repay kindness with ingratitude. That girl doesn’t belong in the palace, trapping her there would mean taking her life."

"Your Majesty sees clearly and is kind-hearted."

The matron hurriedly said: "It is said that the second daughter of the Xiao family was engaged to the third young master of the Zhao family of Hundred Herbs Hall in Changzhou, Shu City."

"Oh? Is that so?"

The Empress couldn’t help but feel regret: "That Marquis Mansion really is unfortunate."

The Empress became interested again.

"Does the third young master of the Zhao family have any extraordinary qualities?"

Something’s not right, isn’t it?

How could such a girl be willing to marry so easily?

"It seems he extended a helping hand multiple times during the Xiao family’s adversity."

"It’s unknown how much virtue the Zhao family’s ancestors have accumulated and how many high incense sticks they have burned." The Empress expressed her envy for the Zhao family.

Yes, many times others envied her for being the mother of the country, living in splendor and wealth.

In reality, ever since Che’er fell ill, she would rather trade a lifetime of glory for her son’s lifelong safety and health.

Without life, nothing else matters.

No official position can be as respected as a capable doctor, who is akin to a deity capable of snatching people from King Yan.

In the Capital, Imperial Physicians do not have high positions of power in the court, yet they are figures that influential families dare not offend.

People consume grains and develop a hundred illnesses, with a large family of old and young, who knows when one might need to seek help from these Imperial Physicians?

They are life-savers, not to be offended.

If a family has someone proficient in medicine, what a blessing it is?

"Have someone keep an eye on the situation in Shu City."

"Your Majesty, the war in Shu City..."

"There’s the Emperor, the Emperor is wise, ever since ascending the throne has seen through many challenges, naturally, this small issue doesn’t need my worry."

As always, in her position, she concerns herself only with her son.

In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t care, it’s just not something to be discussed here.
