Emperor Chongjin also glanced at the baby in the young man's arms. The little one was not sleeping soundly today, and his face was still pale.
He frowned with concern, casually waved his hand, and gestured for Dejiang to show it to Huo Chengche.
"Just now, Consort Li came and gave me a letter, saying it was written by the Imperial Preceptor Ye Ji himself," Emperor Chongjin said calmly, but did not finish his sentence.
Judging from the handwriting, this letter was indeed written by Master Yeji himself. Emperor Chongjin had just ordered Dejiang to check its authenticity when he received news of the incident.
Huo Chengche took the letter, read it, and his brows furrowed immediately.
The handwritten note claimed that Xiao Chanian was actually the root of all this trouble, and that she would kill all the children in the palace.
"Ha, utter nonsense!" The young man's deep eyes narrowed, his expression turning cold and menacing.
Even Dejiang, the old eunuch who served Emperor Chongjin, was stunned by Huo Chengche's aura in that instant, and was shocked.
"Never mind," Emperor Chongjin frowned, a murderous glint in his eyes, but thinking of the Fourth and Eighth Princesses, he finally let out a long sigh and turned to Luo Dangdang, "Imperial Preceptor, how is the Seventh Princess?"
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess is all better now! With proper care, she will be as healthy as any other child in less than a month!" Luo Dangdang walked over to the Seventh Princess, letting out a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongjin's heavy expression finally softened, and his gaze towards Xiaochanian became even more tender and grateful.
"Niannian is truly my little lucky charm! That fool Consort Li even dared to slander Niannian! It's utterly despicable! Dejiang, strip Consort Li of her title; she doesn't deserve the name 'Li'."
Dejiang quickly bowed in response, knowing that Consort Li had truly offended Emperor Chongjin this time.
Huo Chengche's eyes flashed with cold killing intent. Looking at the letter that Dejiang had taken away, he finally understood what Consort Li meant by saying that Nian Nian was about to be finished.
"Che'er, take Niannian to the side hall to rest peacefully. It's too far from the East Palace, so we don't want to frighten her on the way." Emperor Chongjin looked at the little baby in the boy's arms and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes," Huo Chengche said, picking up his little one and walking towards the side hall.
As Huo Chengche passed by the corridor, he heard Xuandi and Lingxi talking in the outer hall.
"I have already gone to the Demon Realm to deal with that person." Xuan Di said coldly, his voice filled with a chilling murderous aura.
Lingxi said, "That person is just a puppet. Even if he harms Niannian, it won't do him any good. You go find Second Brother; I'm worried..."
Lingxi's voice suddenly stopped.
Immediately following, Xuan Di asked coldly, "What's wrong?"
Huo Chengche knew without a doubt that Ling Xi had discovered him.
He wasn't guilty at all; he just went his own way. These two insisted on talking in a place where they could be overheard. Was it his fault?
Sure enough, as soon as he turned the corner of the corridor, he saw the two brothers blocking his way.
Huo Chengche met Ling Xi's icy gaze and raised an eyebrow. "Niannian just fell asleep."
One sentence instantly extinguished the brothers' anger.
Lingxi gave the boy holding the little baby a deep look, her gaze complex. "Who exactly are you?"
Huo Chengche did not answer. "I will take Niannian to the side hall. Please make yourselves at home."
Lingxi and Xuandi exchanged a glance, both of them showing surprise.
As the boy walked past the two, Xuandi stopped him. "Do you know something?"
Although this is a question, the tone is affirmative.
Xuandi and Huo Chengche had been bickering and joking around for days, and had become quite familiar with each other, so he asked directly.
