He looked at Huo Chengche, who was approaching with murderous intent, and swallowed hard in fear. Forced by Huo Chengche's overwhelming rage, he trembled and moved backward again and again.

"Heh, only a silly little baby who doesn't know what a 'trap' means would be so clueless as to not see through it. Since I dared to come, I am confident that I can protect Nian Nian and get her out of here unharmed."

Huo Chengche's lips curled into a cold smile, his murderous intent clearly visible.

However, murderous intent is something only bad people are lucky enough to hear. The little baby only heard his prince brother say, "Only a silly baby would be so stupid as to not see it."

Instantly, the little dumpling pouted, pouting high, and let out a loud, childish "humph," looking utterly aggrieved.

"Is the little silly baby that Crown Prince Brother is talking about Niannian? Does Crown Prince Brother mean that only Niannian is silly?"

Her soft, sweet voice, filled with a wronged yet fierce tone, questioned her, accompanied by a pitiful little sob, as if Huo Chengche had committed some heinous crime against her.

As the little boy's accusing voice rang out, the murderous-looking young man froze, and the next moment, the violent and cold aura emanating from him vanished without a trace.

He turned around and met his little one's bright, teary eyes, and his head immediately throbbed with embarrassment. He frowned in regret and quickly explained, "No! That's not what I meant! Niannian is the smartest baby! She's not some silly baby!"

He quickly thought of his wife's clever past and said "from the bottom of his heart" that he must not have thought that just now, his silly little baby insisted on wanting Zhuangyou.

As he spoke, he coughed lightly, then adopted a serious and upright expression.

Sure enough, after listening to her older brother's words and looking at his expression, the little dumpling pouted and whimpered, emphasizing in her childish voice, "Niannian isn't stupid!"

"Mmm! Niannian isn't stupid!" Huo Chengche loosened his teeth from his forced smile and quickly agreed, "Who said Niannian is stupid? He's the stupid one! Our Niannian is the smartest!"

"Mmm!" The adorable little dumpling's dimples reappeared, and he nodded vigorously.

Huo Chengche breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to look at the eunuch who was the ringleader of the bandits.

Interrupted by the little baby, the murderous intent in his heart dissipated. His anger, which arose from his heart, lessened, and his aura also calmed down considerably.

The leading eunuch finally dared to look directly at the young man in front of him. He stared blankly at the domineering crown prince who had just been so powerful, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a gentle and kind-hearted young man.

Hearing the young boy coaxing the little boy in such a gentle tone, and realizing that he had actually been defeated by this young boy, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the spot. Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Huo Chengche stepped forward and kicked the eunuch. Seeing that he had truly suffered a sudden attack of anger, vomited blood, and fainted, he frowned in annoyance.

What kind of manners are these! He didn't even ask him anything, nor did he use any torture, and he just fainted!

Fortunately, there were still a dozen or so eunuchs here.

The first one to suffer was naturally the little eunuch who was closest to him.

Huo Chengche glanced at him, and the little eunuch immediately trembled with fear, his face turning pale and his lips turning blue and quivering.

Huo Chengche looked at him coldly, "Tell me, who gave you the audacity to attempt to assassinate the Crown Prince and the Princess in the palace! What is your purpose in taking Niannian away!"
