The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler Novel - Chapter 687
687 Dabao Is Rescued (2)
The imperial physician was not young anymore. His old legs were almost broken from running. He finally stumbled to the Emperor and Empress.
“Your Majesty!” He bowed.
The Emperor interrupted him impatiently. “Alright! Hurry up and come over to take a look at the child!”
“Yes!” The imperial physician took the children.
!!
The minister quickly pulled off his coat and spread it on the lawn.
“Ah, no need,” said the imperial physician.
The imperial physician turned Dabao over and let him lie with his head facing down and his stomach on his knees. After a while, Dabao spat out a few mouthfuls of water.
“He’s fine now, Your Majesty,” the imperial physician said, wiping the sweat off his forehead. “Take off his clothes.”
Eunuch Wang went to pick up Dabao.
The Emperor said, “Let me do it!”
The Emperor took off Dabao’s clothes, unbuttoned his robe, and hugged him. Although the winter in Nanzhao was not as cold as the Great Zhou, it was still cold weather. Dabao was so cold that his little body was trembling. The Emperor hugged him tightly, and Eunuch Wang picked up the coat on the ground and put it on him.
A servant’s clothes shouldn’t be on his master, but wasn’t he unable to care about it now?
The Emperor did not refuse and wrapped another layer around Dabao. He looked at the child in his arms with heartache and instructed the imperial doctor, “Hurry up and take a look at the Empress.”
“Yes!” The imperial physician hurriedly went to take the Empress’s pulse.
The Empress did not choke on the water. She was clear-headed, so the problem was not big. However, at her age, if she suddenly soaked into the cold lake, it would still be easy for the cold air to invade and the evil aura to enter her body.
The Empress said considerately, “Your Majesty, quickly bring Dabao back to the bedchamber.”
The Emperor said, “Come over too.”
A palace maid carried a palanquin over. The Emperor carried Dabao and sat in the palanquin with the Empress. It was not until the three of them arrived at the Dragon Palace that Consort Yun arrived late with Er’bao and Xiaobao.
The children were really mischievous. Dabao “accidentally” fell into the water, while Er’bao and Xiaobao climbed up the tree and could not get down. They hugged the tree trunk and screamed. Consort Yun called the guards to bring them down.
Consort Yun never expected something to happen to Dabao. Dabao was the most honest among the three children. He would not find any excitement.
At this moment, the Emperor and the Empress had already changed into two sets of dry clothes. Dabao had also changed his clothes and was being protected by the Emperor.
The Emperor had already learned what had happened from the palace servants. It turned out that the three little fellows did not take a lunch break and wanted to go out to play. Consort Yun brought them there. Halfway there, Consort Yun had to use the toilet and asked the two palace maids to keep a close eye on the children. The palace maids only treated them as ordinary children and did not keep a close eye on them. In the end, they were not careful and disappeared.
On the way back, Consort Yun met Er’bao and Xiaobao, who were hanging from the tree. When she saved them, she heard that something had happened to Dabao.
Consort Yun was more confused than anyone else.
The Empress said seriously, “Honored Consort Yun, it’s not that I want to criticize you this time. It’s fine if you’re usually out of line, but now that you’re already a great-grandmother, you should restrain yourself. Don’t think about running around all day. You should take care of the children more. Do you know how urgent the situation was just now? If I’m half a step later, Dabao will lose his life!”
Consort Yun turned pale!
She looked at the Empress and then at the Emperor. The Emperor’s face was cold. It was as if what the Empress said was true. Dabao’s situation was indeed very dangerous.
She blamed herself.
However, it was useless to blame herself now. Moreover, even if she had to do it again, she probably wouldn’t be able to do it better. Could it be that when she heard that Dabao had fallen into the water, she didn’t care about the two little black eggs hanging on the tree that could fall off at any time?
“Your Majesty…” Consort Yun wanted to hug the frightened Dabao.
The Emperor rejected her with his eyes. “There’s no need to say anything, Shen Yun. I’m very disappointed in you.”
The Empress said with a pained expression, “This is His Majesty’s first great-grandson. Do you know what he means to the entire Nanzhao? Honored Consort, even I can’t stand it anymore this time. Even if I take the risk of being criticized by the world, I won’t forgive you magnanimously!”
She had only been an Honored Consort for less than ten days, but she was snatched away by the Emperor just like that. She was beaten back to the position of a Consort and was grounded in the Vermilion Bird Palace.
The three little black eggs were carried to the Empress’s palace and were taken care of by the Empress and the Emperor.
The Empress said warmly, “I’ll treat them as my own.”
The Emperor patted her hand and said, “I believe you. You were the one who saved Dabao’s life. Other than you, I can’t think of anyone else in the harem who can do their best to take care of them.”
The Empress smiled gently. “Your Majesty, don’t be too angry with Consort Yun. Just now, I was in a fit of anger, so I sent her away without thinking. But on careful thought, you can’t blame her entirely. She’s never raised a child, so it’s inevitable that she missed something. I hope Your Majesty doesn’t blame her too much. When she realizes her mistake, it’s better to return the position of the Honored Consort to her.”
