Chapter 184: Why don't you come to find this overlord yourself?
A cold voice came from the palace gate.
A slender figure slowly approached, with a feather duster standing upright behind her.
Qingbao jumped down and hugged Sihe's leg, her voice soft and sweet.
"Mother, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Qingbao missed you so much, Mother..."
She nuzzled Si He's palm with her head.
He tried to rub the feather duster into his mouth, hold it in his mouth, and then throw it away.
But Sihe raised her hand and looked down at her, "Just now I heard the baby say something about holding something?"
Qingbao's heart skipped a beat.
She raised both hands above her head, making a big heart shape, and tilted her head with a cute, innocent look.
"You've got your mother's heart wrapped around your finger."
Si He was stunned.
Then, he threw the feather duster away and said, "Get lost."
Then he squatted down, picked up Qingbao, and kissed her on her chubby face.
Cute baby.
How could her adorable baby be such a rebellious person?
While acting cute, Qingbao secretly glanced at Xia Jingheng and made a gesture to him with her chubby little hand.
Xia Jingheng looked at them with gentle eyes and felt a strange sense of happiness.
Tang Chen looked dazed.
I no longer know where I am.
What the hell is going on here?
Just a moment ago she was about to scold Qingbao, how come she's suddenly all loving and filial to her daughter?
She had always thought that Si He was one of the few normal people.
Unexpectedly...
A low chuckle came from the man's voice inside the umbrella.
Tang Chen frowned and glanced at it, then the sound disappeared.
Sihe, holding the soft, fragrant little bundle of milk, sat down in the spot where Qingbao had been sitting:
"How is Your Highness's wound? Qingbao told me that you were burned while saving her..."
Xia Jingheng looked down at his arm, which had been bandaged by the imperial physician, and then his gaze darkened.
Squeeze it hard.
Lift it up again so Sihe can see it.
"It's alright, the imperial physician has already taken care of it," he said, frowning.
Si He looked anxious. "Oh dear, how did the imperial physician bandage it? It's bleeding and you still say it's fine? It's definitely going to leave a scar. It needs to be bandaged again."
Xia Jingheng shook his head. "The imperial physicians have done their best."
"Let me re-bandage Your Highness," Si He said, looking down at his burned hand with a heavy heart.
Xia Jingheng suppressed a smile, "How could I trouble you?"
“You’re doing this to save Qingbao, it’s no trouble at all. Call the imperial physician to bring the medicine,” Sihe said, turning to a palace maid.
The palace maid was stunned. Seeing the prince nod, she immediately ran over to call the imperial physician.
When the imperial physician arrived, he looked incredulous. "Your Highness, this wound..."
He was bandaged up properly, the bleeding was stopped, and it had already scabbed over, so why is it still bleeding?
"Leave the medicine here, you can go out now," Xia Jingheng instructed.
Imperial Physician: ? ? ?
No, have you been talking badly about me behind my back?
But he didn't dare ask, and simply lowered his head and quickly walked out of the inner hall.
They caught a palace maid and began to whisper, "What happened to His Highness's wound?"
The palace maid quickly waved her hand, "I didn't do it."
Imperial Physician: ...
Is that even a question?
I'm truly impressed. It must have been His Highness who did this to win the favor of the beauty.
He's become a clown!

Si He lowered her head and carefully applied the medicine for him.
Xia Jingheng looked down at her, a slight smile on his lips.
Qingbao looked left and right, but something didn't seem right. "Could it be that my mother's medical skills are comparable to those of the imperial physicians?"
"Is that the point?" Tang Chen glanced at her quietly.
Forget it, she's only three years old, she wouldn't understand anyway.
I really envy this age where you don't have to suffer the pain of love.
Fingers unconsciously and gently stroked the umbrella handle.
"So what's the key point?" Qingbao asked, her eyes gradually deepening. "Damn it, there's actually a key point in this world that even this overlord can't guess!"
She pointed angrily at the air, "The point is, you have three seconds to come see me yourself!"
Tang Chen was speechless: "They've given us divine gold again."
Moreover, every time the little guy acts crazy, it opens her eyes to a whole new world.
"What exactly is it? Why doesn't the person in charge come to see me himself?" Qingbao asked, her attitude quite domineering.
Tang Chen said softly, "Because someone wants your mother to get bandaged up, it's that simple."
Qingbao frowned, still unable to figure it out.
Tang Chen continued, "They seem quite well-matched, but what about Fu Tu?"
His tone carried a mix of emotions.
She wasn't a cold-hearted person; sometimes, when she saw similarities to herself, she would feel a pang of emotion.
That day, she watched as Fu Tu, upon learning that Si He was his junior sister, displayed emotions, his gaze, and his heartache that could not be faked.
After Sihe fell into the water, in order to make her stand in front of everyone with dignity, Fu Tu even made a big fuss in the palace to deceive everyone's eyes.
Fu Tu's aura only disappeared when Si He stood upright and dignified on the ground.
She could tell that Fu Tu loved her!
If it weren't for this massacre, Tang Chen couldn't imagine how happy they would have been...
What a pity.
This fleeting happiness, regained after being lost, is about to vanish in the blink of an eye.
Xia Jingheng is the Crown Prince. If he wants, the mortal Si He is a perfect match for him, without any other reason.
A hint of amusement appeared in Tang Chen's eyes, as if she were watching a show.
"What can Fu Tu do? Why would he do that?" Qing Bao tilted her head, trying hard to understand, but she just couldn't figure it out.
Tang Chen scooped her up and said, "Let's go, you're not suited to watch this."
Her little legs kicked and flailed wildly, and Qingbao cried out:
"Ugh, why? Why?"
"Why don't you come find this overlord yourselves?!"
My head is so small, how could I possibly understand this?
Waaaaah.

Si He carefully applied the medicine and then took out a bandage to bandage Xia Jingheng.
As soon as his wound was touched, his brows furrowed and he let out a muffled groan.
Si He looked up in shock, "Did I hurt you?"
"It doesn't hurt too much, Sihe. Usually when I'm in pain, holding onto something makes me feel a lot better. Can I... hold onto your sleeve?"
His eyes darted away slightly, and he seemed quite embarrassed to speak.
Sihe generously handed him the wide sleeve, saying, "Take it, I need to get it bandaged."
"Mmm." Xia Jingheng's fingers, with their distinct knuckles, gripped Si He's sleeve tightly.
A sense of satisfaction filled my heart.
While bandaging the wound, Si He said with a smile, "You really can't feel the pain anymore? That's quite a unique habit of yours."
“Yes, it’s a habit I’ve had since I was little,” Xia Jingheng replied softly. “By the way, Si He.”
Si He didn't look up. "What is it?"
"Are you really planning to raise Qingbao alone? Have you thought about it...?"
Xia Jingheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.
Have you considered remarrying?
