Min's sinister and twisted gaze stared directly at the little thing in Emperor Chongjin's arms without any attempt to hide it. She stared at her fiercely, wishing she could stab two bloody holes in the back of her head.
Although the little one couldn't fully understand what Min was saying, the word "abandonment" is what children are most sensitive to.
Min Shi killed him by destroying his spirit. Not to mention that Emperor Chongjin genuinely liked this little baby, and his affection for her far exceeded his intention to use her.
Even if Emperor Chongjin was truly just using her, since she was an orphan girl who had come from afar and her father was using her, as a gentleman, an emperor, and a person, he would not allow the concubines in the harem to bully the little girl like that.
Moreover, Cha Nian was not at fault in any way in today's events. The one who was truly at fault did not repent but only thought of killing her and destroying her spirit, bullying a young girl who had come from afar!
Emperor Chongjin pulled the little baby into his arms, covered her little ears, suppressed his anger, and tried to speak gently to the baby, "Min has lost her mind, she's spouting vulgarities, don't listen to her."
Min seemed oblivious to Emperor Chongjin's increasingly fierce and arrogant expression, and ignored his actions. She spoke with increasing enthusiasm, as if she were saying something righteous, and became more and more indignant.
"She's living under someone else's roof. The fact that you and the Empress Dowager show her a little more care is already more than enough to give the Prince of Hengchang face. Does she, the daughter of a subject, think she can climb over the heads of palace concubines and act arrogantly? Does she deserve it?! Your Majesty..."
"Enough! Shut up!"
"Well--"
With Emperor Chongjin's thunderous roar, Min Shi, who had just been indignant and righteous, was now rolling on the ground, completely losing her composure.
"Min Shi, do you think you have any prestige in front of me? How I do things is none of your business!" Emperor Chongjin withdrew his foot in disgust, not even bothering to scold Min Shi a few more times, and quickly comforted the frightened little baby in his arms.
However, even though Emperor Chongjin covered the little girl's ears in time, her little ears were always very sensitive, and she still heard every word even though they were covered.
The little girl had never been away from her parents for so long. As soon as she heard that her father didn't want her anymore, tears streamed down her face.
"Godfather, does Daddy not want to recite anymore?" The little boy's usually sweet and gentle eyes were filled with tears, and large tears rolled down his cheeks. His soft, sweet voice called out to Emperor Chongjin one after another, each word hitting Emperor Chongjin's heart.
Emperor Chongjin quickly coaxed the little boy, "Who said that? Daddy wants Niannian! Niannian is just staying with Godfather for a few days."
The little one wasn't so easy to coax. Nestled in Emperor Chongjin's arms, the little girl's face was red from crying, her tears seeming to flood the palace. She sobbed pitifully in her baby voice, "Where's Daddy? Niannian wants Daddy! Niannian wants Mommy..."
Each sound of his voice pained Emperor Chongjin deeply.
The more heartache he felt, the more he loathed Min Shi. He looked at Min Shi with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
However, Emperor Chongjin really didn't have the time to deal with Lady Min right now. He was busy trying to coax his crying baby who wanted his father and mother. Even though he was the emperor, he couldn't just conjure up the Prince of Hengchang and his wife out of thin air!
Moreover, judging from how much the Prince of Hengchang dotes on his daughter, if he were to find out that his precious darling had suffered such a great injustice at his hands, his million-strong army would probably be the first to arrive at the palace before he did.
