The little dumpling immediately broke into a dimple when he received praise.
Looking at the happy little girl, Emperor Chongjin said, "However, your godmother is a little afraid of Fatty Tuantuan. Let Fatty Tuantuan eat grass, Niannian. As for those bad people who bullied Niannian and your godmother, your godfather will teach them a lesson for you."
The little boy nodded obediently, "Okay!"
Then, the little dumpling poked half its head out from Chen Zhixian's arms and called out to Fatty Tiger, "Fatty Tuantuan, go back and eat grass, don't come out and scare people."
"Awooooo—"
The chubby little tiger's face scrunched up, and it cried out pitifully several times, refusing to leave.
Zhuangyou glanced at the fat tiger who was stubbornly refusing to leave and said gently, "I heard that tiger meat is quite delicious, especially the meat from a disobedient tiger. The skin is firm and the texture is even better."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongjin glanced leisurely at a certain chubby, fat tiger.
"..." Upon hearing this, Fatty Tiger ran away in a flash.
Dejiang successfully woke up the four eunuchs who had fainted from fright using four basins of water.
Once the four men were fully awake, they tied them up and carried them into the house.
At this moment, Emperor Chongjin had already led Chen Zhixian into the house.
The imperial physician hadn't arrived yet, but Chen Zhixian looked much better than before. Right now, she was arranging flowers on the low kang with her little baby.
A table full of little flowers. The little baby, holding a small vase, ran happily around the table on the low kang (heated brick bed), putting the little flowers she liked into her vase.
Chen Zhixian watched her run around with a smile, while helping her trim the wildflowers she had just picked.
Emperor Chongjin sat beside Chen Zhixian. Seeing her gradually improving complexion, his anger subsided somewhat. Occasionally, he would hand the short-armed, short-legged little baby a flower. Listening to the little baby's happy and pure laughter, the burning fire in his heart also subsided.
Even so, when Manager Huang was brought before Emperor Chongjin by Dejiang, he trembled like a leaf and his face was ashen.
Emperor Chongjin, in a fit of rage, laughed instead of speaking. "I've heard that Eunuch Huang has come up with an ending for my Chen Miaoliu and Princess Fuying? Why don't you tell me?"
Manager Huang trembled even more violently, opening and closing his mouth repeatedly, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"I've also heard that this courtyard has become a gambling den for Eunuch Huang? Niannian tried to drive him away, but couldn't even get an apology. In the end, Eunuch Huang got impatient and directly demanded his life?"
The voice was soft, yet it sounded like death warrants to Manager Huang, each word a death sentence.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
Emperor Chongjin stared coldly at Manager Huang, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. However, he glanced at Chen Zhixian and the little boy beside him, and subtly suppressed his anger, giving Dejiang a look.
Dejiang bowed and responded, then immediately ordered the eunuchs to gag the four junior stewards and drag them out.
Before leaving, Emperor Chongjin instructed, "Observe the execution in the Six Palaces."
Dejiang was immediately struck by a sudden realization and agreed.
However, before the eunuchs could lead the person out, a sharp shout came from outside.
"Bring this person out to me!"
The sudden scream startled the little baby who was nestled in Chen Zhixian's arms, tugging at the little flower. His dark eyes immediately turned to look outside in terror.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixian froze and her expression suddenly changed.
Immediately afterwards, she felt warmth envelop her cold hands, as if pulling her back from an icy abyss in an instant.
She subconsciously looked up and met a pair of deep, dark eyes. Lost in those eyes, her pale face gradually warmed up, and her frozen blood began to flow again.
For the first time, she could still manage a faint smile after hearing that nightmarish, shrill command.
