As soon as she returned to the palace, Xiao Shuangbao felt uncomfortable. She endured it again and again, and finally burst into tears:
"Daddy, Shuangbao's stomach hurts!"
Emperor Chengxuan's expression changed, and he quickly ordered: "Call the imperial physician!"
Not long after, the imperial physician arrived and treated Xiao Shuangbao.
After a moment, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the little princess seems to be..."
"As if? As the imperial physician, can't you be sure what happened to her?" Emperor Chengxuan couldn't help but get angry when he heard the imperial physician's ambiguous tone.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The imperial physician knelt on the ground in fear and said quickly, "The little princess is suffering from long-term hunger! She is sick today, probably because she has been hungry recently! But Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as she takes good care of herself and eats a full meal every day, the little princess will recover soon!"
As Emperor Chengxuan listened, the anger in his eyes deepened.
It goes without saying that little Shuangbao was abused by the Su family and starved to death!
"Zhou Guisheng!" he suddenly spoke angrily.
"I'm here!" Eunuch Zhou hurried forward.
"Send someone to keep an eye on those three bastards from the Su family! I don't want to see them have an easy time!" Emperor Chengxuan's eyes were cold.
Eunuch Zhou was a little shocked.
As a dignified emperor, the emperor actually resorted to such means and sent people to secretly deal with the three members of the Su family?
This shows the status of the little princess in his heart!
"I'll do it right away!"
Xiao Shuangbao's illness requires slow stomach care.
The imperial physician prescribed medicine, but Emperor Cheng Xuan only glanced at the prescription and glared at him with a cold look:
"She's only three and a half years old. You prescribed so many bitter medicines. Are you trying to torture her?"
The imperial physician choked up when he heard this.
There is no medicine that is not bitter!
Even if the emperor dotes on the little princess, he doesn't have to do this!
But he didn't dare to say it in front of her, so he could only change the recipe tremblingly: "Then, I will prescribe a medicinal diet for the little princess. I guarantee it won't be bitter, but the effect will be slower..."
"Slow? The medicine works too slowly. How can Shuangbao get better quickly? Then what's the use of you imperial doctors for me!" Emperor Chengxuan raised his eyelids and gave him another cold look.
The imperial physician was tortured so much that he vomited blood.
The medicine that works quickly is bitter.
If it's not bitter, I think the effect of the medicine is too slow!
He finally understood how precious this little princess, who had just entered the palace, was in the eyes of the emperor!
"Then, I will add more herbs to the medicinal food. However, it may still taste a bit bitter..."
The imperial physician had no choice but to swallow his anger and spoke cautiously again.
Emperor Cheng Xuan still stared at him with a cold look.
After a while, she waved her hand impatiently at him and said, "Go down! Cook the medicinal food quickly and send it over! Remember not to make it too hot, but don't let it get cold either!"
"Yes, I will prepare the medicinal food for the little princess right away!"
The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief and left the Yangxin Palace as quickly as if he was escaping for his life.
Not long after, the medicinal food was cooked and brought over. Emperor Cheng Xuan held little Shuangbao in his arms and prepared to feed her himself.
Little Shuangbao looked at the bowl of porridge with his big, wet eyes, a little bit unbelieving: "Daddy, is this really for Shuangbao?"
Emperor Chengxuan felt a pang of sadness when he heard this.
As the daughter of the God of War, Xiao Shuangbao should have grown up freely and become a favored child of heaven.
Instead of being like now, where one has to ask so carefully even for a bowl of porridge.
And this was all due to his dereliction of duty as emperor.
"Of course it's true."
At this moment, Emperor Cheng Xuan suppressed the guilt in his heart and touched her little head, his handsome face showing gentleness and doting, "Anything that is brought to Shuang Bao is for Shuang Bao. As long as Shuang Bao wants it, Daddy will satisfy it."
Little Shuangbao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really, Daddy? Well, what if Shuangbao wants to eat a lot of food?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan immediately smiled: "Of course it's true, Shuang Bao still doesn't trust Daddy? Shuang Bao wants to eat as much as he wants."
Little Shuangbao also smiled happily all of a sudden.
Emperor Cheng Xuan picked up the spoon and fed her himself.
The medicinal food was just as the imperial physician had said. After adding some herbs, it became much more bitter.
But little Shuangbao ate it mouthful by mouthful, and it tasted very delicious.
Soon, the bowl of medicinal porridge was finished.
"Daddy, can I have another bowl?" Little Shuangbao licked his lips with an unsatisfied look, blinking his big black eyes and asked.
"Still eating? Of course you can, but, Shuangbao, don't you think it's bitter?"
Emperor Cheng Xuan was worried that Xiao Shuangbao was starving and had a problem with his sense of taste, so he couldn't even taste bitterness.
“It’s bitter.”
Little Shuangbao tilted his head, as if savoring the taste of the porridge. "But Shuangbao is hungry. It's better to suffer than to go hungry."
After saying this, she looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan with sparkling eyes again, and said in a baby voice expectantly, "Daddy, can Shuangbao really have another bowl?"
In just one sentence, Emperor Cheng Xuan felt distressed again.
"It's really okay, but there are a lot of medicinal herbs in this porridge. You can't eat more. Daddy will ask the imperial kitchen to make you something else."
Not long after.
After Xiao Shuangbao ate two bowls of seafood porridge in a row, Emperor Cheng Xuan held down her little hand as she wanted to have another bowl.
"Shuangbao, you are still a child. You can't eat so much in one meal. If you continue to eat, your stomach will be upset." Emperor Chengxuan said gently.
"But Shuangbao's belly is not full."
Little Shuangbao felt a little aggrieved, so he mustered up the courage to tell the truth, "Shuangbao is still very hungry. If Daddy doesn't believe me, just touch Shuangbao's little belly. It's not full at all!"
Emperor Cheng Xuan reached out and touched it suspiciously.
I was shocked!
