So Mother, you don't need to worry.

Consort Shu looked somewhat worried. "Why do you always run outside, child?"

She would be more at ease if it were just a simple outing, but every time the little one goes out, something happens, and there's always danger involved, so she naturally can't rest easy.

The little guy lowered his head slightly, "I'm going."

We need to help Sixth Brother.

Consort Shu's eyes flickered slightly.

Sure enough, it was something else this time.

After a moment of silence, she looked at the little one and said, "You can go out to play, but you have to promise your mother that you will take good care of yourself and come back safely."

Although she didn't want him to go, Consort Shu knew in her heart that the little guy was special, and perhaps his arrival here was to change something.

She couldn't keep him by her side just because of her own worries.

Seeing the Consort Shu's worried look, the little guy's gaze turned serious, and he solemnly said, "Mother, don't worry, I will protect myself."

Consort Shu nodded slightly, "Alright, then eat the shredded chicken leg meat and minced meat before you leave."

After all, it was something the little guy had been longing for, and she couldn't bear to leave without letting him eat it.

······

Inside the palace, Ying Liu grasped Consort Liang's hand, "Mother, wait for me to come back!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked outside with a determined look in his eyes.

Outside the palace, Xiaoyao was already waiting by the carriage, while Ying Zheng held the little one, a rare look of worry on his face.

Upon seeing Ying Liu arrive, Ying Zheng handed the little one to Xiao Yao and said earnestly, "Xiao Yao, you must protect Yu'er well!"

Xiaoyao's expression was quite strange. "Me?"

How could I possibly be worthy of him?

He didn't dare to make a move against that old demon, but the little guy rushed up and beat him up. The old demon, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, was beaten and howled.

It's uncertain who needs protection given this level of power.

But seeing the worry in Ying Zheng's eyes, he still solemnly replied, "This old man will!"
