Huo Chengche looked at him, his thin lips curving slightly, "I don't know anything. All I know is that I can protect Nian Nian, but you can't."
I am in the cycle of reincarnation, while you are all in the clouds.
Xuandi understood the meaning behind his words, his brows furrowed, but he could not refute them.
Just as the kid said, he and Lingxi could only watch helplessly as Niannian was trapped in the cycle of reincarnation from previous lives, powerless to help from the outside, but this kid was able to break in and pull the little baby back.
Huo Chengche carried Niannian and continued walking towards the side hall.
Lingxi suddenly spoke up, "No matter who you are, thank you for today."
Huo Chengche paused, curled his lips into a smile, and then continued walking.
Xuandi watched his retreating figure, then casually put his hands on his hips and said, "This kid must have found out something. That day at the Imperial Preceptor's Temple, I felt his aura surge, as if something had been unsealed."
Lingxi gave the boy a deep look before looking away. "Right now, it's more important to figure out what kind of conspiracy the Demon Realm has against Nian Nian. At least this kid doesn't have any bad intentions towards Nian Nian."
Huo Chengche brought the baby to the side hall and stayed by her side, quietly recalling the images that flashed through his mind.
"I will enter the cycle of reincarnation with my own body to protect you."
The boy propped his head up, looked at the little figure on the bed, and smiled faintly.
He wondered why this life was so different from the previous one in his memory. It turned out that there was no previous life at all. He had simply transformed the original fate in the little prince's Book of Fate into the memories of the previous life.
So that even if he were trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, he could remember who he came for...
"Niannian, do you know that I have been with you through ninety-nine reincarnations, but only this once can I watch you grow up happily and carefree."
He gently stroked the little baby's face, which was gradually regaining its rosy hue, his thin lips filled with affection, and he smiled warmly.
An hour later, the little baby woke up after a sweet nap. His bright, dark eyes regained their usual sparkle, and his little face was rosy and adorable.
Huo Chengche, who had been staying by her bedside, saw the baby's condition and knew that she was alright, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Crown Prince, where is Niannian? How is little sister? Where is Fourth Brother? Where is Godfather? Where is Master Dangdang?"
As soon as the little one arrived, he snuggled into the boy's arms, his bright black eyes glancing at his older sister Zhuangyou beside him, before asking the others in his childish voice.
“Little sister is alright now. This is a side hall of Yuning Palace. Your brother should have just been here, but he must have something to do for now. Let’s go play in the garden for a while, and your brother should be back soon.”
Huo Chengche held his adorable little baby in his arms, gently curving his lips as he spoke softly.
"Okay~" As soon as the little dumpling heard that he was going to play in the garden, he immediately jumped off the bed. The carefree little silly baby from before was back.
Zhuangyou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her little baby's smiling face.
As soon as Xiaocha Nian went out, she ran into Xu Guiji, who came specifically to thank her. Xu Guiji gave the little baby a big box of delicious snacks, which made the little glutton jump for joy. She couldn't wait to have her sister Zhuangyou feed her a piece.
The baby was overjoyed after eating the extra cake and didn't forget to take one last look at the little sister before leaving.
Upon entering the Seventh Princess's bedchamber, Huo Chengche discovered that Emperor Chongjin had not yet left and was speaking to Dejiang in the outer room with a stern expression.
"Your Majesty, Consort Xu's premature birth back then was indeed suspicious, but..."
