However, Huo Chengche and Xuandi had both witnessed it firsthand. The Grand Preceptor Changxu was perfectly fine, showing no signs of going astray.
Xuan Di pursed his thin lips, his face as cold as ice. The thought of being interrupted by the sudden death of the Grand Preceptor Changxu flashed through his mind, and he already had the answer in his heart.
Before Huo Chengche could ask further, Xuandi said with a gloomy expression, "I'm going out for a while. You take Nian Nian with you and don't leave her side for a moment."
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace, not giving Huo Chengche even a chance to speak.
This guy... he's always been wary of him like the plague, but now he trusts him.
Ha, is this what they call "saying one thing but doing another"?
Huo Chengche's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked down at the little baby in his arms, who was stretching his head mischievously.
The silly baby was still thinking about whether he could sneak a peek, completely unaware of the serious matter that had happened.
Looking at the little boy's silly appearance, Huo Chengche couldn't help but smile helplessly, but he was even more worried.
"Niannian, it's getting late, little baby should go to bed now." Huo Chengche, carrying the little baby who was peeking out from under his arms, walked around the artificial hill and headed towards Xiaochen Palace.
The little dumpling still hadn't gotten a good look at the Imperial Advisor, so she refused to leave. She clung to her brother's neck and climbed up, pouting and whimpering pitifully, "Niannian wants to see!"
Huo Chengche knew that the tragic state of Grand Preceptor Changxu was no longer visible from here. He let her stand up by stepping on his forearm, his other hand subtly protecting her, and he smiled helplessly, "That's not something a little baby should see, Niannian, be a good girl."
The little dumpling whimpered, its bright black eyes darting around, but it didn't see anything.
"Your Highness is bad!"
When Huo Chengche picked up the pouting little baby and put him back in his arms, his little mouth was so pouty it could hang an oil bottle, and his pink little face was full of "This baby is unhappy, this baby is angry!"
Huo Chengche chuckled and gently patted her chubby little bottom, coaxing, "Alright, alright, your Crown Prince brother knows that Niannian is the best girl, right? How about your Crown Prince brother and Fifth Brother play with Niannian again tomorrow?"
The little dumpling pouted and snorted, then angrily nestled on her naughty older brother's shoulder, not wanting to pay him any attention.
Huo Chengche looked at the little boy with affection and coaxed him gently, while patting the back of the sulking little boy.
Fu Man came with Xuan Di. Knowing that he was his master's man, he knew that the Fifth Young Master would not like him. So he did not approach Xuan Di, but followed the Fifth Young Master from a distance, waiting for him to meet his master so that he could return to his master's back.
So although Fuman didn't know exactly what happened, he did witness it all.
Seeing that his master was completely focused on the little baby, he bowed and tentatively suggested, "Your Highness, what do you think of this Imperial Preceptor Changxu..."
Only after Fu Manyi reminded him did Huo Chengche remember that the Imperial Preceptor Changxu was still dead there.
He glanced back in that direction, his brows furrowing slightly, and said coldly with obvious disgust, "Have someone guard this place and prevent anyone from getting close. Also, don't let the news leak out. Go to Gantai Palace and find Dejiang. Tell him to bring his men over and take him away. As for the details, I will personally report to Father Emperor."
