As he finished speaking, Helian Nie lowered his narrow, almond-shaped eyes, his gaze falling on the white jade thumb ring on his thumb. His well-defined fingers gently caressed it.

“I gave him so much time to prepare, but he has been slow to act. I find it quite boring and don’t want to wait any longer, so I will give him a chance myself.”

"Give the order to them to go easy on the assassins in the future, so that people don't think that my palace is so difficult to enter."

Long Eagle: "…………"

?

So, His Majesty is so eager to see General Wen rebel...?

"yes."

The emperor's mind is unpredictable, so Changying didn't dwell on it. In any case, it was the emperor's order, and they would just have to follow it. After bowing, Changying turned around and was about to leave.

Just as he took a step, Helian Nie called out to him from behind, and Changying turned around in confusion.

Helian Nie, seemingly lost in thought, slightly furrowed his brows and parted his thin lips to give an order.

"Send more people to protect Yongqing Palace. Also, keep those brats safe at the Imperial Academy. If anything happens, you'll be held responsible."

Changying was taken aback, then quickly cupped his hands in a salute and respectfully replied.

"yes!"

Changying was somewhat pleased, for the Emperor had recently shown a bit more humanity.

In the past, the emperor would have simply told the princes and princesses: "Just being alive is enough."

It seems that this was mostly due to the little princess's efforts; the emperor and the princes were not good at expressing themselves, and there was some distance between them.

Ever since the little princess fell into the lake, her personality has become quirky and mischievous. Although she can be quite amusing at times, she has also genuinely made the emperor more humane.

It's quite remarkable that the little princess wasn't frightened by the Emperor's usual gloomy demeanor and was able to get close to him!

Helian Mou Sisi, who was being remembered by Chang Ying, was now a tiny little thing.

He was groaning as he carried a bamboo stool and placed it next to his sickly second brother's wheelchair by the Daming Lake.

"Phew~"

The little girl puffed out her cheeks and breathed a sigh of relief in a serious manner, patting the dust off her tiny, short hands.

"Oh dear, this little cutie Sisi is really exhausted~!"

After clapping her hands, Helian Si put her hands on her hips and said in a soft, sweet voice.

The palace servants around chuckled softly, covering their mouths. Consort Lian, seeing this, was even more delighted. She patted the seat beside her and spoke gently.

"Sisi, would you like to come over here and sit with Aunt Lian?"

In the middle of the courtyard, a small bonfire was burning, all because of the little girl.

Seeing several sweet potatoes sent from the imperial kitchen in the small kitchen, I suddenly had a whim and pestered Yue'er to roast them.

Yue'er always doted on Helian Si and granted his every request, so she agreed to the little girl's request.

It rained lightly at dusk, and now the night is cool; the evening breeze even carries a slight chill.

So, the small campfire is burning in the courtyard right now, but it doesn't feel stuffy or hot.

"No, no, thank you Auntie, Sisi can sit here with Second Brother!"

The little girl waved her chubby little hands in refusal, afraid of hurting the feelings of the kind and noble person.

The little girl even gave Consort Lian a sweet smile, revealing her two cute little tiger teeth. Her smile was so sweet and well-behaved.

Consort Lian did not force the matter further. She was happier than anyone else that the little princess was willing to be close to her beloved son.
