As for Zhuangyou... she unusually didn't immediately step forward, but instead stared blankly at the man who took away the little baby.
Seeing that Sister Zhuangyou was ignoring her, the little bunny cried even louder in grievance, calling out "Sister Zhuangyou" in a soft, childish voice, like an abandoned little rabbit. Her sweet, soft voice was so pitiful.
Zhuangyou snapped back to her senses and was about to snatch the little boy away, but when she met the man's suggestive gaze, she paused and gently comforted the little boy, "Little princess, don't be afraid, your sister Zhuangyou is here. Be good, and your brother will let you go in a little while."
As she spoke, Zhuangyou quickly winked at the little boy when the man wasn't looking.
However, the little boy was crying so hard he couldn't catch his breath and couldn't understand what Zhuangyou was trying to say.
"Niannian!" As the voice rang out, the shadow guards immediately made way for him. Emperor Chongjin arrived upon hearing the news, his eyes deep and sharp as he stared intently at the man.
However, the man's eyes remained fixed on Xiao Cui, the palace maid who was mixed in with the crowd.
Suddenly, his expression turned serious for a moment, then he looked at Emperor Chongjin with a wicked smile and whistled in a roguish manner.
"Looks like I'm in luck. I just picked up a little fluffball, and it turns out to be a princess! Brothers, don't worry about me, quickly send the intelligence we've gathered back to the commander! Next year when the war starts, we'll definitely wipe out the Xiheng Kingdom!"
Send the intelligence back?!
Upon hearing the man's words, Emperor Chongjin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly glanced into the shadows.
As dusk approached, the usually deathly quiet rear hall of the Heiwa Palace suddenly became filled with flickering shadows.
Xiao Cui, who was about to do something, immediately sensed that someone was watching her and that she wouldn't be able to do anything she wanted. Her face turned ugly.
Upon seeing this, a smile flashed in the man's eyes.
He bounced the little bundle of flesh in his arms, slapped her soft, plump bottom with his large hand, and looked at the shadow guard with eyes full of provocation, "Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll kill this little meatball and have her buried with me! Or is she just an insignificant princess to your emperor?"
The shadow guard stared coldly at the man before him, his eyes subtly glancing at Emperor Chongjin.
"Release her, and everything will be fine." Emperor Chongjin stared intently at the man with deep, sharp eyes.
The little boy looked at the fierce man, blinked his innocent, dark eyes twice, and said in a sweet, soft voice, "How about... how about I give you half of the money I'm saving to buy candy? Big brother, please don't kill me, okay?"
The man frowned, his head aching, as he listened to the fact that the little boy was still thinking about Tangtang.
Suddenly, the man grinned wickedly, slapped her little bottom threateningly with his large hand, and said fiercely, "I don't eat candy, but children's meat is the most delicious. Stewing you into soup would be a good idea."
"You dare!" Emperor Chongjin frowned, his imposing aura instantly emanating from him.
Dejiang, who had already arrived, was terrified upon hearing this and quickly signaled his shadow guards to keep a close eye on the man.
Zhuang You, on the other hand, remained surprisingly calm. She didn't say a word when the man mentioned stewing baby buns.
The man glanced at the stern-faced Emperor Chongjin, then casually curled the corners of his lips, while tightening his muscular forearm across the little baby's bottom.
The sudden sense of urgency startled the little girl, who clung to the man's neck with a pitiful expression. Her soft, obedient little voice pleaded, "No, no, big brother is a good person. Please don't hurt Niannian anymore. Niannian will never run away again."
