Chapter 618: Chapter 601: A Stern Rejection! _1

"All of you, the Full Moon Banquet only happens once in a lifetime, how can you skimp on this? No, no, this won’t do. When Little Yanyan reaches a hundred days old, we must celebrate grandly!"

Imperial Consort Hua made her decision there and then, leaving Su Pan’er stunned, but she had no choice but to agree.

"What the Imperial Consort says is correct, we shall certainly fulfill it!"

Afterwards, they nonsensically spoke for quite a while. Most of the conversation involved Imperial Consort Hua asking questions, with Su Pan’er and Jun Ruoxue. Young Mrs. Hua, the three of them, answering.

The situation was formal and awkward, causing Su Pan’er to feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles. However, she had no choice but to brace herself and respond carefully.

Gradually though, Su Pan’er began to realize that something was amiss!

Imperial Consort Hua continuously brought up her and Jun Ruoxue, what exactly did she want to say?

Imperial Consort Hua beat about the bush for a long time, her gaze slightly sinking as she looked at the rather silent Jun Ruoxue and Young Mrs. Jun beside her.

"I heard that there are many fine wines stored in your cellar. I’m quite curious right now. Could I inconvenience you, my sister and niece, to fetch some so I can have a taste?"

Was she trying to send Young Mrs. Jun and Jun Ruoxue away?

Young Mrs. Jun quickly stood: "Your Highness jokes, there are indeed many wines in the cellar. I will personally go collect some right now."

Saying so, she led Jun Ruoxue away.

Jun Ruoxue seemed reluctant to go but was no match for her mother who firmly led her away.

This made Su Pan’er even more curious. When Imperial Consort Hua dismissed everyone else from the room, leaving only her with Imperial Consort Hua, Su Pan’er was on high alert.

Imperial Consort Hua seemed a bit embarrassed and coughed heavily, covering her mouth: "Pan’er, your aunt sees that you and Xue’er get along very well?"

The moment had come!

Su Pan’er thought back to Jun Ruoxue’s hesitant look earlier and promptly lowered her gaze, responding: "Your Highness is correct. Although Xue’er and I are cousins, we were like sisters long before that, with our relationship being extremely close. We almost never hide anything from each other, we discuss everything!"

"Hm, Xue’er is quite lively. It’s fortunate that you are generous. Seeing you two being such good sisters, I can rest assured!"

There was a deep meaning in Imperial Consort Hua’s eyes as she gently patted Su Pan’er’s hand.

This caused Su Pan’er’s heart to suddenly beat a few times rapidly.

She wanted to ask something but didn’t know how to start, so she simply kept her doubts to herself.

Imperial Consort Hua did not say anything else, but changed the topic to matters of the court.

"This year, the Longtaitou Festival has already passed, but the weather does not seem to be turning warmer. The waterways are still frozen, preventing the feudal lords from leaving Shengjing. They constantly cause trouble and frequently bother His Majesty, giving him quite a headache. Recently His Majesty has noticeably reduced his meals and sleep."

When it came to serious matters, Su Pan’er had to throw her doubts aside and focus on the information Imperial Consort Hua had shared.

If the feudal lords continued to linger and cause trouble, it meant that they still haven’t given up. This even caused His Majesty great irritation, affecting his eating and sleeping.

If his eating and sleeping were disrupted, His Majesty, being of advanced age, may not be able to take it in the long run.

Imperial Consort Hua, who hoped that His Majesty could live a few more years, would definitely be one of them.

No wonder she was such in worry!

But these words could not be spoken out loud: "Your Highness, there is no need for you to worry. These feudal lords are only staying for a month or two. What is meant to come will come. It’s inevitable. Perhaps it would be better to prepare ahead of time than to be in chaos when the time comes."

"Of course, this consort is aware of these matters, but I’m just worried about His Majesty’s health."

Imperial Consort Hua suddenly leaned close to Su Pan’er, "Pan’er, there’s something your aunt wishes to beg of you."

Su Pan’er was taken aback. Imperial Consort Hua had surprisingly called her by her name, referred to herself as her aunt, and pleaded with her, making Su Pan’er’s heart skip a beat.

She quickly replied in a low voice, "Your highness, feel free to speak your mind. While I may not have many capabilities, if there’s something that I can do, I will do it for you."

What can be done will be done naturally, but if it’s not feasible...

Imperial Consort Hua clearly let out a sigh of relief!

"You will definitely be able to do this, your aunt just wishes to..."

As she spoke, she leaned into Su Pan’er’s ear, whispering quietly. As she explained, Su Pan’er’s eyes widened. By the time she finished, Su Pan’er had already turned pale.

Immediately, she hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness, if it were anything else, I would certainly fulfill my duty. But this matter, if discovered, could lead to my entire family’s extermination. Please forgive me, I am incapable of accomplishing this task."

"If you don’t speak, and I don’t speak, who else would know?"

Imperial Consort Hua was unyielding, not giving Su Pan’er any chances to refuse, "Moreover, you and I are like two grasshoppers tied on the same rope, neither can escape. If something happens to me, even if it has nothing to do with you or the Qin Family, the consequences... Surely you, with your wit, should understand without further explanation from your aunt!"

Given the intertwining relationship between our two families, a shared fate of prosperity or adversity is already set. Thus, what Su Pan’er is worried about isn’t really an issue at all.

"Even so, it can’t be done!"

Su Pan’er said decisively, "When I was studying medicine, I made a solemn vow to my mentor, vowing never to use my medical skills to harm others. Otherwise, may the heavens strike me dead!"

Although she did make this oath, it wasn’t when she was studying medicine. However, this does not prevent her from using it in this current situation.

They even want her to produce a harmful drug, how could she agree?

Imperial Consort Hua squinted at Su Pan’er, who seemed impervious to both incentives and threats, annoyance flickering in her eyes!

She herself was a high-ranking consort, but Su Pan’er was totally stubborn, refusing no matter what she said, really...!

On the surface, she smiled gently, "Fine, let’s pretend I never mentioned this."

Having said that, she took her place back and picked up the tea on the side, nonchalantly taking a sip.

But the tea had been sitting there half the day and was bound to be cold by now. Impatience was clear in the eyes of Imperial Consort Hua as she put the tea cup down.

"It’s often said that ’tea cools when people leave’, but even with the person present, this tea is already thoroughly cold!"

Su Pan’er remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to respond nor to move.

Fortunately, the personal nanny who was serving Imperial Consort Hua outside the door heard the movement, and quickly came in to replace the tea, "It’s my fault for being deaf, I didn’t hear her Highness’s instruction, I deserve to be punished!" As she said this, she even raised her hand as if to slap herself.

"That’s enough, just be more careful next time."

Imperial Consort Hua apparently also had no inclination to-dwell on this, and commanded her again, "Go and see, your elder sister went to fetch a jar of wine, why has she not returned after such a long time? Could it be that she’s afraid this consort would drink up all her good wine?"

"Yes, old servant is going to urge her now."

The nanny quickly retreated, leaving only Su Pan’er and Imperial Consort Hua in the room.
