"Brother, you'll regret this soon."
After saying this, Consort Li burst into laughter, her gaze turning to the little boy with a mocking look.
Everyone looked at Consort Li, who suddenly burst into laughter, with great confusion.
Xiao Chanian was even more puzzled, but she immediately sensed Consort Li's gaze. Her dark eyes turned to meet Consort Li's fixed gaze.
"Little thing, you forced me to do this. I was originally hoping you could live a couple more days, hehehe..."
Consort Li moved her red lips, silently making the following sequence of words. After she finished speaking, she smiled even more triumphantly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if she were anticipating something.
None of the officials' wives knew how to read lips, so none of them understood what Consort Li was saying.
However, Huo Chengche could understand. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze instantly turning icy cold as a blade, sweeping across the room to clear away the unpleasant look from his little wife, and he did not intend to take her threat to heart.
The little girl could read minds and heard Aunt Li Fei's extremely unfriendly words, but she blinked and didn't feel any fear or chills.
Besides the two of them, Lingxi also knew, and he continued to calmly wave his folding fan, coldly watching Consort Li go mad, his clear, dark eyes full of interest.
The only one frightened by Consort Li's threat was the Imperial Preceptor, who had just learned the art of mind reading.
He was extremely anxious. After reading Consort Li's words, he felt that she was about to turn into a venomous snake and devour his little ancestor. He was so anxious that he could hardly maintain his dignity as the Imperial Preceptor. He hugged his whisk tightly and looked at Consort Li warily.
But after being stopped by Huo Chengche's sharp gaze, Consort Li stopped her maniacal laughter, turned around, flicked her sleeve, and ordered, "Someone, summon the palanquin, I need to see the Emperor!"
Consort Li's sudden madness caught everyone off guard, and her turning to go to Gantai Palace was even more perplexing.
Today is a grand court day. Not only will there be court in the morning, but Emperor Chongjin will also be holding court in the afternoon. If Consort Li goes now, she can only wait in the back hall. Not only will she not be able to see Emperor Chongjin, but she will also be criticized for being "unruly".
But she just left like that, leaving everyone completely baffled.
Little Chinian looked up at her Crown Prince brother and asked in a childish voice, "Crown Prince brother, is Aunt Lifei going to complain to Godfather?"
Huo Chengche looked at Consort Li's arrogant and smug back, his deep eyes turning slightly cold. When he looked down at his little wife's exquisitely beautiful face, he smiled warmly, "It's alright, let her go and tell her godfather. Your godfather won't wrong your good baby."
"Mmm!" The little dumpling nodded his head vigorously, forgetting about Li Fei in the blink of an eye.
The little dumpling jumped down from her brother's arms, pulled her little sister to Lingxi's side, and proudly introduced them, "Sister Wenlian, Sister Changyin, this is my fourth brother! My fourth brother is the best, much better than that bad fifth brother!"
Looking at the two little pink bundles brought by her younger sister, Lingxi gentlemanly squatted down, her phoenix eyes smiling gently. With a magical flick of her folding fan, she produced two sparkling pink gemstone butterfly hair clips in her hand.
"Hello, thank you for taking care of little Niannian. This is a small gift from your fourth brother."
Lingxi, this gentle older brother, has a knack for coaxing little sisters.
When Xiao Wenlian and Xiao Changyin saw the gentle older brother in front of them, who even thoughtfully gave them pretty hair clips, their eyes lit up and they immediately fell in love with Lingxi.
"Hello, Fourth Brother! Thank you, Fourth Brother!" Xiao Changyin immediately dropped the surname. Since she didn't have any brothers anyway, whoever's fourth brother treated her well was her brother!
"Mmm, Fourth Brother is so nice! Thank you, Fourth Brother!" The rosy-cheeked little Wenlian was completely won over by this super nice older brother.
Huo Chengche watched from the side, his eyelids twitching.
His trusted eunuch, Fu Man, approached with a look of grave concern. "Your Highness, this servant feels you're in some danger." Your precious little wife is about to fly away! And your own sister is about to be kidnapped too!
