Chapter 1290 - 1201: Death Is Like a Snuffed Out Lamp

Chapter 1290: Chapter 1201: Death Is Like a Snuffed Out Lamp

Su Pan’er returned to Huayang Palace and immediately went to Taiye Pool to thoroughly scrub herself several times, and she ordered that all the attendants who accompanied her wash themselves meticulously as well.

Then she had everyone strip off the clothes they were wearing, from the inside out, piled them up, and set them on fire to burn.

After she was clean and came out, she heard the news of Feng Xiyue’s death.

"Reporting to the Empress, Imperial Concubine Feng... she... has passed away..."

Su Pan’er was stunned on the spot, "How could this be? When we left just now, everything was fine, and moreover, I just took her pulse. Although she didn’t have much time left, she still had a few days to live. How could she have died so suddenly?"

Feng Xiyue’s death was caused by excessive blood loss which led to the disruption of body functions and subsequent failure of various organs. If the abnormality had been detected and treated in time at the start of the childbirth, she might not have died.

However, from what Su Pan’er had seen and heard over the years, unless a hysterectomy was performed, there was no solution.

And those in Great Zhou who could perform such surgery were probably very few, one could count them on one’s fingers.

Putting aside their mutual gratitude and grievances and the limitations of technological development, the only one capable of performing that surgery was herself, and she was fazzing due to a cesarean section at that time. Therefore, it could only be said that Feng Xiyue brought about her own death!

"Since she has died of illness, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, let the Ministry of Rites bury her properly according to the regulations for a concubine."

Imperial Concubine Feng passed away at the age of twenty-seven.

His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to select a plot of land outside the Capital City as Imperial Concubine Feng’s grave. Due to the scorching summer time and the inability of the body to be preserved for long, she was hurriedly buried after three days. Thus, brought an end to a woman’s life that seemed magnificent yet ordinary.

Feng Xiyue’s death did not stir any waves at the court.

Even Feng Jiu, who went out seeking an eminent doctor, did not utter a word about Feng Xiyue’s death. Upon his return to the Capital City, he voluntarily requested to go to the front lines to fight the enemy. His Majesty refused, but Feng Jiu was determined, so His Majesty reluctantly agreed. In the same month, Feng Jiu left the Capital City and did not return for many years.

And Imperial Concubine Feng, along with the child she gave birth to, seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, never to be inquired about again. Aside from a palace maid who would visit Water Moon Courtyard each month to deliver a fixed allowance, everyone even unconsciously avoided Water Moon Courtyard when traveling.

As for Su Pan’er, apart from having to mark the allowance for Water Moon Courtyard each month on the account books brought by the female officials, her memories of Water Moon Courtyard also gradually sank into the depths of her mind.

She was very busy!

The eldest imperial son, being weak from birth, was constantly sick, exhausting her and breaking her heart as a parent.

And every time Su Pan’er exhausted herself trying to treat the eldest imperial son, Qin Yi would pick up the Third Princess and shower her with kisses.

"Look at our Huanhuan, so robustly grown. What the hell is wrong with that stinky little boy? It makes one eager to spank his little butt and vent the frustration!"

"Spank him? With his frail body, could he withstand your beating?"

Su Pan’er rubbed her brow wearily.

Qin Yi choked.

Still his tone was fierce and harsh, "Can’t I hold onto this account for now? Just wait! I am keeping a note of it in a small notebook, and when he grows up, I will collect it all back with interest. First, I’ll give his little butt a good flowering!"

These words, said through gnashed teeth, only made Su Pan’er unable to resist a moment of disdain.

Even if he did not speak of it, he was making all kinds of plans for the child’s future every day, and by the time he grew up, he would likely have forgotten today’s jokes.

"Spank him? Frankly speaking, I should give you a beating first! What are you still standing around for? Hurry up and pass me that medicine bowl over there!"

Su Pan’er gave him a sideways glance.

"Frankly speaking, don’t think because you’ve become emperor I won’t dare to scold people!"

"Here it comes!"

Qin Yi, having been scolded, instead had a grin on his face, hurriedly setting down little Huanhuan in one hand, and freeing the other to hold a medicine bowl. Qingwen by his side tried to step forward to help, but he glared at her, which scared her into quickly retreating.

"What on earth is wrong with the child’s skin? Why is it covered in so many little bumps; it looks quite severe."

Qin Yi was visibly worried.

"It’s a skin allergy; there must be an allergen here that’s causing it. When his skin is irritated, it starts to turn red, develop bumps, and peel. The Imperial Physician said the child had smallpox because it looked similar on the surface, but in reality, it’s not."

Su Pan’er answered while deftly removing Ah Mann’s clothes and applying medicated cream with cotton.

Ah Mann’s skin looked red with patches, and upon application of the medicated cream, the red and green splotches made it look even worse.

"Those bogus doctors! To be so careless, I will deal with them later!"

When it came to matters concerning the land and kingdom as well as his own progeny, this man’s attitude was particularly aggressive.

Su Pan’er didn’t stop her movements.

"Instead of looking for trouble with the Imperial Physician, you’d be better off meticulously searching for whatever is causing the child’s skin allergy. Even though we’ve moved the child here, who can guarantee there aren’t any allergens in this place either?"

Her words immediately made Qin Yi nod in agreement, finding her point very reasonable, "You’re right, we must find the source of the allergy. It’s either someone is after my heir apparent or it was an unintentional mistake." His words sounded calm, but beneath the calm, there was a storm raging.

"Search thoroughly, sometimes it’s the little things that are the most frightening, and don’t take Huanhuan out too much; although she’s stronger, she can’t withstand being repeatedly agitated."

"I know. Do you think I don’t care about Huanhuan?"

Qin Yi looked dissatisfied.

Then he remembered something, "Little Yanyan mentioned that you talked to her about your fifth sister’s matter? You also mentioned to Lui Ming that you had the gold lockets ready for Lui Muyi’s children?"

Su Pan’er paused briefly as she applied the cream, uttered a light reply, but then continued her task without speaking further.

"Why? I thought you hated her."

Qin Yi stood behind her, watching her work, "You teach Yan Yan to speak like that, so why do you act differently when it comes to yourself?"

"Do you think I’m too kind to Su Xian’er?"

Su Pan’er turned around, arched her eyebrows, and then shook her head with a smile, "Exactly! I’m not being kind to Su Xian’er, it’s just that..." Her words suddenly halted.

"And what? Can’t you speak plainly without making people anxious?" Qin Yi urged her.

"It’s just that I..."

Su Pan’er turned back and continued to apply cream to the heir apparent, "It’s because of Big Brother Lui. I indeed have a thousand ways to deal with Su Xian’er. But what about after that?"

"Big Brother Lui verbally expresses disgust for Su Xian’er, yet the two have been business partners from the beginning, striving together up to this point, beyond the arrogance of youth, what remains is the gentle warmth that comes from living through each day together."
