The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 113 Panpan Sees Her Brother

The emperor not only held Panpan in his arms, but also talked with her.

"What's your name?"

"Panpan, Xiao Panpan."

"How old are you?"

"Two years old."

Xiao Chunyu's heart clenched. In fact, she was only one and a half years old; two years old was the traditional Chinese age reckoning.

It has to be said that Panpan is a very impressive child. While other children sit at seven months, crawl at eight months, and teeth at nine months, Panpan takes each step a month earlier than other children. She started talking at eleven months and was able to walk before she was one year old, and her little legs are quite steady.

In the past few months, she has not only started talking but has also developed her own thoughts. Her favorite thing to look at is pretty people. Mo Lan is prettier than Jian Lan, so she only wants Mo Lan to hold her. If there are any good-looking little boys in the village, she will stare at them without blinking and even make a fuss about wanting to play with them.

They treated her like a child and didn't pay much attention to her.

Who knew it would develop like this? Upon entering the palace and seeing how handsome the emperor was, she actually asked him to hold her and even touched his face.

Xiao Chunyu was truly afraid that she and her daughter wouldn't have enough heads to chop off!

Seriously... this little rascal is such a troublemaker!
"Two years old, so good."

The emperor himself didn't know what was wrong with him today. He was furious when he left the gates of Kunning Palace, but when this little dumpling stopped him and asked to be held, he actually softened and took him.

I regretted it a little when I picked him up, but he's a person, not a hot potato, so I couldn't just throw him away. I had to bite the bullet and chat with him for a bit. And guess what? The little guy actually responded well... he was so well-behaved that my heart melted.

Turning around, I saw the shocked look on Eunuch Fu's face. He was so disgusted; how ignorant he must be.

"Panpan, right?"

"Yes, Uncle, my name is Panpan, Panpan is a very good girl."

Xiao Chunyu... doesn't even know how she gave birth to such a chatterbox.

“You’re really a good boy. Come on, let me take you to see your older brother.”

"Okay, look at big brother, Panpan looks at big brother."

Before Xiao Chunyu could even react, the Emperor had already taken the child to Kunning Palace.

This……

"Granny, Panpan is still too young, I'm afraid of her..."

"Miss Xiao, please follow quickly. This old servant will go and report to the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace."

"Thank you, mama."

Xiao Chunyu sighed inwardly: They really are mother and son. This man even guessed what the Empress Dowager was thinking. In the end, he was scheming against her.

Panpan is still so young, and the eldest prince is ill. Logically, they shouldn't have taken her to see him, but they did anyway.

This shows that the imperial family is truly skilled in craftsmanship!
Fortunately, the Crown Prince's illness was not a plague, otherwise... Xiao Chunyu secretly suppressed her anger.

Faced with the overwhelming power of the royal family, they truly dared not speak out against it. They believed that whatever the royal family did was justified, and that when the emperor commanded a subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die!

In Kunning Palace, several imperial physicians were discussing prescriptions, arguing heatedly over a single ingredient.

The Empress felt exhausted just watching them make a scene.

If you say they weren't doing their best, they served the prince every day; if you say they were doing their best, they still couldn't cure him.

Seeing that their son's condition was getting worse, they were still making a fuss here.

"Guards, throw them out of here!"

Enough is enough. What use are they if they can't cure the disease?

The Empress immediately ordered the imperial physicians to be expelled from Kunning Palace.

It must be said that the imperial physicians were lucky; they were kicked out one minute, and the next minute the emperor ran in with Panpan.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong...?"

The Empress was also exhausted and hadn't paid much attention to the princesses in the harem, not even knowing which concubine's daughter this was. "Auntie is beautiful, Auntie..."

The empress stared wide-eyed at the child reaching out to her: When did she become an aunt?
No, which concubine is so bad at teaching her child?
Are governesses just for show?

"Auntie, Panpan has come to see her brother."

Panpan looked at her brother... The Empress was even more confused. Panpan, are there princesses like this in the harem?

"This commoner, Xiao Chunyu, greets Your Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty live a thousand years!"

"Is it Miss Xiao?" The Empress suddenly remembered that she had heard from the nanny that Xiao Chunyu's daughter was named Panpan. She had never received any attention from the Wu family since birth. After Xiao Chunyu was divorced, the child took the Xiao family's surname. The Emperor was holding her child.
The Empress gave Xiao Chunyu a meaningful look. She didn't look well, and her appearance was... just passable. Besides, she was another woman who had been divorced and had given birth. Surely the Emperor wouldn't be so desperate as to not choose her?

"Miss Xiao's daughter is quite lovely."

"My aunt is even more lovely."

Xiao Chunyu's head was practically touching the ground; she wished there was a hole she could just crawl into.

How could she have given birth to such a bold and talkative child?

The emperor calls him "uncle," and the empress calls him "aunt." They really think they're something special!
When the Empress heard her say that her aunt was even more charming, she was both amused and annoyed. This child really knew how to seize an opportunity to climb the social ladder.

"Auntie, give me a hug."

After saying that, Panpan rushed towards the Empress.

Your Majesty... well, let the Empress hug you.

Seeing the Emperor extend his hand towards him, what could Huang Kou say? He could only take the little girl's hand.

"Auntie will take him to see my brother."

The Empress looked at the Emperor, who nodded.

The Empress... seems to understand a little bit!

"Okay, Auntie will carry you to see your brother. Your brother is sick, and he won't take his medicine..."

At this point, the eldest prince was beyond medical help. The empress felt extremely distressed when she thought that her son was far inferior to the two-year-old child in her arms.

Her son was once a lively and energetic child, but as he grew older, his health deteriorated.

Previously, with Physician Xiao's help in treating her, things were a little better, but...

Deep down, the Empress harbored resentment towards the Emperor.

When Imperial Physician Xiao was executed, the prince fell ill, leaving the Imperial Hospital physicians helpless. Only then did the Empress realize that she too was a pawn in this grand scheme, and that the person behind the scenes was truly wicked.

Therefore, when Xiao Chunyu filed a complaint with the emperor, both she and the Empress Dowager stood up for her, as compensation for Xiao Chunyu's guilt.

"Brother, brother..."

The eldest prince opened his eyes slightly upon hearing the childish voice calling out.

“My son, this is Panpan, the great-granddaughter of Physician Xiao.”

The Empress was overjoyed to see this. After all, the prince had been asleep for a day and a night without opening his eyes. Hearing Panpan's voice, he actually opened his eyes. What kind of omen was this?
"Panpan..."

"elder brother………"

The Empress placed the child on the bed, and Panpan sat down next to the eldest prince.

She rummaged in her pocket with her little hands, then pulled out a small black thing and poured it directly into the prince's mouth.

"Brother, eat cake."

"Panpan..." The Empress tried to stop him, but saw that her son had already chewed and swallowed: "My son, what are you doing..."

Can you really eat anything you want? You ate it without even testing it for poison; what if…?

"Mother, it smells delicious and tastes good." The eldest prince said, "Mother, Che'er wants to eat more."
