Luo Dangdang was caught off guard by the voice in her head again, and was stunned for a moment before looking at Ling Xi beside her in realization.
The latter glanced at him indifferently, which was taken as tacit admission that the person who had just sent him the message was indeed him.
Luo Dangdang immediately understood Lingxi's meaning and bowed to show her understanding.
Xiao Chanian turned her head and saw Master Dangdang's strange behavior. She immediately tilted her head and asked in a childish voice, "Master Dangdang, what were you whispering to Fourth Brother just now?"
Caught red-handed, Luo Dangdang's back stiffened instantly. He quickly turned around with an embarrassed smile, only to meet the little rascal's bright, dark eyes. He shook his head repeatedly, sweating profusely, "No, no, no! It's a misunderstanding, how could this humble Taoist possibly be following... cough, Fourth Young Master's whispers!"
The little one is not easy to coax. She pouted and looked at Luo Dangdang suspiciously, her bright little eyes glancing mischievously at Ling Xi.
When Lingxi met her little darling's gaze, she smiled gently and immediately stepped forward to pick up her little sister, coaxing her softly, "Yes, Fourth Brother secretly told Master Luo that our little Niannian has become even more beautiful!"
Sure enough, as soon as the little dumpling heard that they were praising her, she immediately gave up her cleverness and generously forgave the two people who had been whispering behind her back.
The baby nodded vigorously in agreement, saying, "Mmm!"
Lingxi smiled gently and modestly, creating a scene of brotherly love and filial piety. While smiling, someone glanced at the Taoist priest with a sly look.
The latter quickly wiped away his cold sweat and then gave the man a forced smile.
What kind of world is this! When gods fight, mortals suffer...
Amidst Luo Dangdang's furtive complaints, the group quickly arrived at Yu Ning Palace, where Consort Xu and the Seventh Princess resided.
The imperial concubines lived here. Unlike Xuan Di, Ling Xi, an adult male, had the appearance of a teenager, so he couldn't go in. Naturally, he wouldn't watch the young crown prince go in with his little sister.
At the door, Lingxi stopped in her tracks, raised her hand to stop Huo Chengche, who was slowly following her, glanced at him indifferently with a half-smile, and said, "Your Highness, why don't we have a chat?"
The young man had expected this, and casually curled his thin lips, "Of course, Fourth Young Master, this way please."
Huo Chengche gestured "please" towards his Xiaochen Palace.
Lingxi nodded slightly with a cool and aloof expression, shook her folding fan, and walked with the young prince with an air of fierceness.
Huo Chengche had long known that Ling Xi disliked him, so he was prepared and not surprised. He strolled leisurely, completely unaffected by Ling Xi's aura.
This undoubtedly deepened Lingxi's fear of him.
The brothers each had their own thoughts, but when the little baby ran into Yu Ning Palace and turned around, he saw that both the Crown Prince and his own brothers were gone, and he was a little sad.
She thought her fourth brother had just left!
Seeing this, Luo Dangdang quickly explained that her brothers had grown up and could not enter the palaces of the empresses at will, which calmed the little girl's tearful eyes.
At this moment, Xu Guiji also walked out from inside, her steps weak. When she saw Luo Dang, her tearful eyes lit up in a daze.
"Imperial Preceptor! Imperial Preceptor Luo, please go and check on Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi... she seems to be dying!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaocha immediately forgot her unhappiness and dragged Master Dangdang inside.
"Master Dangdang, hurry and save the little girl!"
