The imperial physician was summoned and examined the child thoroughly, feeling his pulse, checking his eyelids, examining his tongue, and scrutinizing his entire body.

"Hmm...hmm..." The old doctor stroked his long beard and made a reasoning sound.

When Emperor Chongle grew impatient, the imperial physician quickly spoke, "Your Highness is having a nightmare and is probably still not fully awake, mistaking you for some villain in your dream. Let me prescribe some calming medicine for Your Highness—"

"Ugh, cough cough cough! Huff... huff..."

The old doctor almost couldn't catch his breath after speaking such a long passage, but thankfully he coughed twice and recovered.

Otherwise, there would be more than just one person needing medical treatment in His Majesty's bedchamber.

Emperor Chongle: "Would I eat people? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The old doctor shook his head repeatedly: "No, no..."

However, both the cub and the imperial physician clearly had the same tense expression.

They were terrified that Emperor Chongle would turn into some kind of ferocious beast and devour the philandering young master.

Especially those naughty kids who go around looking for guardians to raise them, falling in love with every one they meet.

Perhaps then Emperor Chongle will grin maliciously and swallow the tender little cub whole, saying things like, "My little one can only have me as his father, and my little one must always be with me," keeping the cub safe inside his belly. He might even let out a burp filled with the cub's unique flavor because the cub is so chubby.

The cub grew more and more frightened as he thought about it, and couldn't help but cry in his father's arms.

"Why are you crying again? Is the calming soup still not ready?"

The palace servants hurriedly replied, "Coming, coming! The imperial physician who's preparing the medicine is here!"

After drinking some soup and being held and comforted by his father for a long time, the baby finally escaped from that nightmare. His eyes showed less fear, and he subconsciously snuggled in his father's arms, kneading and telling him about his grievances.

"Looks like you were really scared. What dream did you have? Tell me, and I'll chase away the bad guys in your dream."

The cub froze for a moment, then looked away guiltily.

No, I can't stay with Daddy for too long. He'll definitely give himself away before the cub recovers.

Therefore, the cub could only skillfully pretend to be unwell and rest alone in the bedroom, letting Emperor Chongle go out to work alone.

After Emperor Chongle left, he chirped twice and summoned the shadow guards who had been hiding in the shadows.

"Your Highness."

The shadow guard knelt on one knee beside the bed.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The little guy lay comfortably sprawled out in a long, straight line, and unconsciously spoke in the language of a dragon cub.

Shadow Guard: "Your Highness, this humble servant does not understand."

"Mmm..." The little guy had just relaxed and hadn't remembered. He shrank back under the covers and tried for a while, then pulled the covers back up, revealing his human form. "Please call Zejin in for me, thank you."

"Also, I'm hungry. Could you please get me some food? Thank you."

The shadow guard immediately went to do it.

In fact, the Shadow Guards are His Majesty's private army, responsible for all orders and requests issued by His Majesty. They are the sharp blades hidden in His Majesty's shadow. Furthermore, the Shadow Guards are forbidden from showing themselves in front of others (except for killing), and they are not allowed to obey the orders of others.

But now, apart from the mask welded to his face, which he hasn't removed, almost everyone who frequently enters and leaves the palace has seen his figure and his presence. Everyone knows that there is a mysterious figure by their side.

There's only one reason: to take care of the children.

So no matter what your position or status is, you can't escape the hell of raising children.

This might be the law of attraction for children.

...

Zejin and the palace servants spent the night in the cramped room. He originally thought that with so many people accompanying the young prince, the prince might forget him after waking up. After all, he was just a plaything, and wealthy people were mostly fickle.

But to his surprise, His Highness sent someone to summon him again early in the morning.

Zejin suppressed his excitement as he listened to the eunuch beside him say, "It's a great blessing that His Highness the Little Dragon likes you, but don't lose your sense of propriety just because of one or two instances of favor from a nobleman. In the well in the backyard, there are plenty of corpses of disobedient palace servants..."

Zejin's expression remained completely calm: "I know."

But even after he turned around, someone still spat behind him: "Pah, a foreigner, he only got to where he is because of his face. What's with the arrogance? We'll expose his hypocritical act sooner or later."

Zekin clenched his fist.

But before he could make a move, the shadow guard who was holding the little prince's food box and waiting for Zejin at the door swung his hand, and the man's leg was hit by a stone, causing him to fall hard and knock out two teeth.

Those who have been disfigured are no longer qualified to serve the emperor.

The shadow guard listened to the man's cries and turned his head indifferently:

"It was His Highness who asked me to help you."

"Hurry up, or His Highness's breakfast will get cold."

Zejin nodded and offered his hand: "Let me take it."

When Zejin arrived, the little guy was almost starving.

Zejin was startled and quickly went over to help the cub up. He served the cub food, picked up food from its bowl, and fed it bite by bite, almost feeding it for the cub.

Ning Guanyan had specifically told Emperor Chongle that he wanted to train the cubs' independence, so the cubs hadn't enjoyed being fed for a long time.

Moreover, Zejin would not refuse his request; he could eat as many pieces of candied fruit as he wanted, and the cub was so happy that he almost showed his dragon tail.

He puffed out his cheeks, chewing away as he picked up a piece of his favorite sweet pastry and fed it to Zejin.
