The Emperor was relentless.
"Let see, you’ve been crying like this, how can it be nothing?"
Xie Pan’Er helplessly continued to shed tears and had to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, it would be useless even if you looked. It’s not just you, even the best doctor in the world probably couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with my eyes!"
Upon hearing these words from Xie Pan’Er, the Emperor’s brow furrowed tightly and deeply.
"What do you an by that?"
Xie Pan’Er, feeling wronged, tremblingly pointed to Xiaosuisui.
"Our Princess Chang Rongshun said my eyes were blurred, so I have to pretend to be dizzy for it to pass!"
At this, Xiaosuisui was stunned. The way His Majesty was just concerned for the pretty auntie looked exactly like how the elder uncles and aunts chased each other to talk at ho!
Tilting her head, she couldn’t understand!
Unable to make sense of it, Xiaosuisui was imdiately t with the Emperor’s gaze upon her!
"Dear daughter, can’t you say sothing nice?"
Gritting his teeth!
Xiaosuisui tilted her head further, feeling more aggrieved, noticing that His Majesty godfather seed a bit angry!
"Your Majesty godfather, what do you want to say?"
The Emperor: "..."
The Empress Dowager finally snapped out of her daze. What did she just see?
Was the Emperor just showing concern for Pan’Er?
Her fingers trembling, she motioned for Nanny Xiao to co over.
Nanny Xiao, having also noticed the Emperor’s unusual behavior, quickly ca over to support the Empress Dowager, whispering excitedly in her ear.
"The National Master was right, the Emperor’s Hongluan Star has moved."
The Empress Dowager, delighted, nodded repeatedly, "Reward, today everyone in Cining Palace should receive a good reward from ."
Nanny Xiao quickly responded, "Yes!"
A certain imperial physician arrived outside, and this ti it was the talented eye specialist, Imperial Physician Lu.
Imperial Physician Lu checked the pulse and examined the eyes, only to see Xie Pan’Er’s tears flowing continuously without any other issues.
Perplexed, he said, "Young lady, did you go to a place with strong irritants?
Was your eye caught by wind and sand?
And then you rubbed the sand out later?"
Xie Pan’Er blinked: My eyes being caught by the wind was just a random guess from Xiaosuisui, why did this physician seriously conclude that?
Xie Pan’Er was puzzled and hadn’t noticed that Xiaosui was frantically signaling at Imperial Physician Lu!
Imperial Physician Lu was cold with sweat, playing along with the Empress Dowager at the risk of losing his head!
"Really caught by the wind and sand?
Didn’t Suisui say..."
"Your Majesty!"
Xie Pan’Er quickly signaled to the Emperor, reminding him not to spill the beans and accidentally reveal Suisui’s secret.
The Emperor understood, promptly asking Imperial Physician Lu, "Since it’s sand in the eyes, how should Miss Xie’s eye ailnt be treated?"
Imperial Physician Lu sneakily glanced at the Empress Dowager, and she quickly gave him a aningful look.
Imperial Physician Lu, quick to catch on, imdiately understood her aning.
Swiftly he said,
"Miss Xie’s eyes, being caught by sand, naturally require dication."
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction.
The Emperor pursued further, "What dication should be used?"
Imperial Physician Lu peeked again at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager made a gesture as if she was covering her eyes.
Imperial Physician Lu felt particularly tornted at this!
Co on now! Just pretending to have sand in the eyes and now applying dication, isn’t it too much?
Yet...
The Empress Dowager subtly made a threatening gesture.
If you don’t comply, I’ll kill your entire family!
Terrified, Imperial Physician Lu kneeled tremblingly, his head touching the ground, his voice quivering as he spoke.
"Miss Xie’s eyes are severely affected by the sand, and to completely heal, dication is necessary!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Pan’Er was startled, exclaiming, "Isn’t that overboard? I just cried, and it will be fine."
Imperial Physician Lu directly kowtowed to Xie Pan’Er, "It’s necessary, young lady. This is a matter of life and death; your eyes need dication!"
Upon hearing Imperial Physician Lu’s words, the Emperor, without much thought, said, "Then quickly prepare the herbs, hurry and apply them to Miss Xie’s eyes!"
Imperial Physician Lu imdiately responded, "Yes," opened his dical box, and utilized the various items needed for treating eye ailnts, promptly applying them to Xie Pan’Er.
Princess Lianchun, in a jovial mood, turned over, enjoying the drama without needing an actor’s performance!
"Miss Xie’s eye ailnt must make it inconvenient to leave the palace; why not stay in the palace for her recovery?"
The Empress Dowager, having set the stage, continued the play!
Flabbergasted by this, Xie Pan’Er was about to refuse when Princess Lianchun remarked, "It’s settled then, Wanhua Palace is spacious and quiet, and since I’ve just returned, it seems so empty without soone to accompany . Miss Xie, why not be a good person and keep company while you recover?"
With those words, everything beca set in stone.
Until Xie Pan’Er was supported by palace maids out of Cining Palace, Xiaosuisui hadn’t comprehended what had transpired.
She blinked at Princess Lianchun and asked quizzically, "Why does the pretty auntie have to stay in the palace?
And her eyes didn’t seem to..."
"Shh..."
Princess Lianchun quickly gestured for silence towards Xiaosuisui.
"Let’s not talk about that; what are you here for in the palace?"
The palace is full of foxes; how is a little girl supposed to play along!
"Oh! I left the Capital City too long ago and missed Grandma, so I ca into the palace to greet her!"
The Emperor, standing beside her, extended a hand, "Co here!"
Xiaosuisui trotted over with little short legs.
The Emperor knocked her little head lightly, "Do you only miss Grandma and not your Majesty Godfather?"
Xiaosuisui touched her head, not really in pain, made a face that seed like she was about to cry.
"I do, I do! Suisui thinks of Your Majesty Godfather every day!
Initially, Suisui was worried that Your Majesty Godfather might not be able to endure the wounds after rushing back from Yunhang to the Capital City!
So I thought I’d co and tell Grandma that I really liked the great eastern pearl before going to see Your Majesty Godfather!"
As soon as Xiaosuisui said this!
The atmosphere in the room grew unbearably tense!
