"What are we to do if the child is so frail?"
Is the Little Prince weak? No, not at all. Sister Liang takes excellent care of him; how could he possibly catch a cold? I only said that to lower Little Bun's 'aggro'! If I had said the Little Prince was very healthy and strong... just imagine the consequences! With someone as deranged as the Empress, if she were to do something to Little Bun, who could bear it, right?
It must be said, Xia Ruqing was very clever.
After she spoke, the expression on the Empress's face indeed improved considerably. Her voice even sounded more sincere.
"Is that really so?"
"That won't do. If the child is ill, we must call the Imperial Physician right away. If you need any precious medicinal ingredients and you don't have them, come and get them from my palace immediately! The child's illness cannot be delayed!"
Xia Ruqing was so annoyed she rolled her eyes.
