Impotent, unable to have an heir!
It’s like a bolt from the blue!
Mrs. Xia felt a darkness before her eyes!
How could the Xia family be so fraught with disaster!
The Xia family has been in the military for generations, a lineage of warriors protecting the country, yet good people do not have good fortunes. For the safety of the border, each generation of young n built a fortress of flesh and blood, and by Xia Guangcheng’s generation, there’s only him left.
They hoped endlessly for him to marry and have children, only to discover that due to his injury, he is impotent and destined to have no heir!
The sky has fallen!
"Mother, don’t worry. I’ve thought it through. I’ll marry the eldest daughter of the neighboring Xiao family. She doesn’t know about my inability to father children, and she won’t get involved in court disputes. Besides, she already has a child. Once that child grows up, they can bring in a son-in-law, and the Xia family line can continue."
This is simply self-deception.
But, it is indeed the best solution!
Mrs. Xia, in utter despair, waved her hand.
"Do as you wish. I’m too old to care about so much now."
"Mother, please take care of your health."
Watching his elderly mother turn away so desolately, Xia Guangcheng felt a little guilty.
But he knew his own mother well. Without saying this, Xiao Chunyu would never have a chance to enter the door.
For that silly girl, Xia Guangcheng felt it’s worth getting a bad na.
Sure enough, without hardening one’s heart, the position is unstable. After Xia Guangcheng put on this hat for himself, Mrs. Xia never again ntioned arranging a wife for her son.
Xiao Chunyu naturally knew nothing about the affairs of the Xia family.
It’s just that life for her and Panpan changed dramatically, with people frequently summoning her to the palace with her child.
Each ti she went to the palace, Panpan was overjoyed. She specifically brought a small food box filled with cakes, snacks, and pills she prepared for her "brother."
The little girl handled everything thodically.
Seeing her take things to the palace for the Prince, Xiao Chunyu had completely given up any expectations.
In any case, the fates of the mother and daughter are in her hands.
What puzzled her most was that every ti Panpan took sothing, the Prince finished it all.
"Empress, my daughter is unruly..." The most unbearable thing is every ti she sees the Prince, Panpan runs straight to him calling him brother, leaving her face nowhere to hide.
"No worries, Panpan is a blessed child." The Empress looked at her son with a smile as he bent down to hold Panpan in his arms: "Recently Panpan often cos to the palace, Che’er adores her greatly and can now eat so food, giving him the strength to get out of bed and move around."
From being unresponsive to dicine and unable to eat a drop to being able to consu so liquid foods, from needing assistance to turn over to being able to walk, only the heavens know how excited the Empress is.
Though still ill and unable to exert himself too much, the Empress deeply understands the principle of illness coming like a landslide and going like a silk thread, constantly reminding herself: Don’t rush, take it slow.
"The Prince will get better and better."
"Yes, yes, yes."
This so-called love , love my dog. The Empress now finds Panpan quite pleasing to the eye and feels Xiao Chunyu looks very endearing too.
Privately, she thought, the heavens really know how to joke; such a good girl ended up with the unfeeling and ruthless Wu family?
Also, Panpan, such an obedient girl, and the Wu family, those blind fools, don’t want her.
The Prince’s improvent was beyond the Imperial Physician’s expectations and also attracted the attention of those with intentions in the harem.
"Truly out of bed?"
"Yes, out of bed, and even held Xiao Chunyu’s daughter, that girl called Panpan."
"Xiao Chunyu?"
"The legitimate eldest granddaughter of Doctor Xiao from the forr Imperial Hospital, the second daughter-in-law of Vice Minister Wu, later..."
"I know." How could such a big matter be unknown, but she didn’t know Doctor Xiao’s granddaughter also had skills.
"Master ans that it was Xiao Chunyu who attended to the Prince?"
"Investigate. Don’t ruin my plans."
Truly, Xiao Chunyu ca out of nowhere, out of my control.
Quickly, news ca that Xiao Chunyu is a noble lady raised in the inner chambers, without dical knowledge.
"The Empress or Empress Dowager often summons her to the palace, seemingly because they like her little girl."
"Yes, not only the Empress and Empress Dowager, but also the Emperor is quite fond of her, the girl calls the Emperor uncle."
"Pfft," with that, the noblewoman directly spit out the tea she was drinking.
"When did this happen?"
"Half a month ago, that day, the Prince was already unconscious, the emperors and empresses were furious, the Emperor even said he would have the Imperial Physician buried with the Prince, but unexpectedly, the Prince held on again."
So, there must be sothing unknown between them!
"Are Xiao Chunyu and her daughter living in a villa in the suburb of the capital?"
"Yes, Master."
"A pair of weak won who can’t even truss a chicken can’t ruin my plans."
Consequently, such and such instructions were given.
"Yes."
The attendant nodded and turned to handle the matter.
In Kunning Palace, the Empress rarely started caring about Xiao Chunyu’s personal lifelong matters.
"You are still young. If there is soone suitable, you can tell , and I will bestow the marriage upon you."
The Empress bestowing a marriage is a divine favor.
"Thank you, Empress. I haven’t thought of anything else, just about raising my child."
Also thinking about family reunion, but this cannot be said. After all, the order was given by the Emperor, ntioning family reunion in front of the Empress would be like slapping the Emperor in the face?
Success cos from secrecy, and regarding the business of Treasure Pavilion, within five years, it will certainly fulfill its wish.
Here, they’re happily chatting; there, Panpan has already frightened the nanny serving by the side of the Prince half to death.
"Brother can’t eat this, can’t eat." The little child tightly held Nanny Zhang’s hand: "You are very bad."
What’s going on?
The Prince was a bit tired at this ti, placed Panpan on the couch to play, and sat on the couch himself, and that’s when Nanny Zhang ntioned it was ti for dicine.
But the dicine was snatched away by Panpan, who made a fuss and said the Prince couldn’t eat it.
"What is going on?"
The Prince’s safety was at stake, the Empress had no mind for anything else, and imdiately ca forward to inquire.
"In reply to the Empress, this old servant gave the Prince the dicine, and this child she..."
Simply absurd, such a young age yet so controlling.
"What dicine?" asked the Empress.
"This, this, brother can’t eat, it will make the tummy ache." Panpan placed the pill she snatched into the Empress’s hand: "Will make the tummy ache."
"Soone, summon the Imperial Physician."
Doctor Chen arrived, and the Empress asked him to inspect this pill.
"This pill is..." Isn’t it the usual pill that the Prince takes? What is there to see?
"I order you to inspect it carefully."
"Yes, Empress." Doctor Chen sniffed it and found nothing unusual. But for the sake of prudence, he broke the pill, used his fingers to touch a bit of powder to his mouth, and his expression changed instantly.
