A faint scent of ambergris lingered in the air, and the warm, comforting embrace finally broke the silence that had been building up inside Sisi.

The little one rushed into Helian Nie's arms, his chubby little hands wrapped around Helian Nie's neck, his little body sobbing and crying so pitifully.

This exaggerated little appearance made the usually cold-blooded and ruthless father, Fan Helian, frown with heartache for the first time.

Is it really that serious if I do it myself?

"Does it really hurt?"

Rarely, the villainous tyrant showed concern for the little girl, and he secretly regretted his actions. Had he known she would cry like this, he wouldn't have hit her earlier.

"Ugh, Sisi's bottom hurts so much, it's burning!"

The little baby nestled in Helian Nie's arms, squeezing his chubby little hands, looking both aggrieved and heartbroken.

"You don't need to go to the Imperial College tomorrow."

Helian Nie patted the little girl's back lightly. It was already late, and even if he hadn't hit her with the bamboo stick, the ugly thing probably wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

"Really?

A certain Sisi peeked out from her arms at the kitten's face. Its curled eyelashes were wet with tears, and its eyes looked as if they had been washed clean, incredibly clear and bright.

Looking at you with that slightly aggrieved expression, even the cold-hearted Helian Nie...

His heart melted completely. He gently ruffled the little girl's fluffy head, then coughed awkwardly.

"Yes, you don't need to go tomorrow. Stay in the palace and get some rest."

As she finished speaking, she slightly raised her chin, her peach blossom eyes glancing at Changying and Yue'er standing to the side.

"Changying, go and bring the female physician here. You, take good care of the ugly thing. Someone will be coming from Yongqing Palace tomorrow. Prepare a room for her."

He paused here, his long, slender fingers tapping lightly on the pear wood table, before adding another sentence.

"It doesn't have to be great, just one thing: stay away from that ugly thing's bedchamber, the farther the better."

"Yes." Changying responded with a fist salute, and with a light touch of his toes, he left the palace and headed towards the Imperial Hospital.

"Yes, I understand."

Although the Emperor has visited Yongqing Palace countless times these days, every time I face his piercing gaze...

Yue'er's body was still trembling uncontrollably, but her fear was less than before.

Now, there is more respect from the bottom of one's heart, simply because the emperor truly loves the little princess.

"Father, who is it?"

Knowing that someone was coming, Sisi stopped crying, and her curiosity was immediately piqued.

Yue'er had already gone down to instruct the palace servants to prepare hot water. At this moment, only the father and daughter were in the bedchamber. The memory of that ugly thing talking to Si Beitao Hua echoed...

Helian Nie couldn't help but chuckle at her constant calling her "Fairy Sister," but he didn't rush to answer, deliberately teasing the young girl.

You'll find out tomorrow.

"Okay, good."

Sisi pouted, wrinkled her little nose, lowered her fluffy little head, and muttered something very, very softly.

"Hmph, Father Emperor, you big pig's trotter."

Her little bottom was still burning with pain, and with lingering fear, she silently covered it with her chubby little hands.

Then, she secretly glanced up at Helian Nie, and seeing that Helian Nie hadn't heard her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, thank goodness the baby is deaf, otherwise my perky little bottom would have suffered again.

Changying was very efficient; in no time, he returned with the female physician from the Imperial Medical Academy.
