The man made all sorts of bizarre and distorted poses in the eyes of the little girl to express his deep love for "Xiao Cui".
Finally, he gazed affectionately at the courtyard wall in front of him and said, "Sister, please be lenient and let me in, just to see her for one last time, just one last time!"
The little boy blinked his eyes, looked at the guard's round head, and fell into deep thought: This big brother is so affectionate!
At this moment, the palace maid opposite her coldly lifted her eyelids and said, "I am Xiao Cui."
The man's smile froze instantly, his eyes filled with deep affection.
The next moment, the man's expression changed drastically. He slammed her against the wall, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and looked fierce.
"So you're Xiao Cui? Didn't your secret letter back to Cheng Han Kingdom say that you'd become the emperor's woman and that you wanted the leader to send more spies to help you transmit intelligence?!"
The palace maid remained calm, coldly looking at the man. "I am a man, and all the Chenghan Kingdom spies lurking in the palace know this."
Man: ...You can do that?
The man's fierce face froze again.
Zhuangyou, who had just rushed back, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this seemingly idiotic conversation.
However, the little boy thought of another problem.
"Dog Emperor?" Does that refer to the godfather?
The little girl blinked curiously, then suddenly remembered that her mother would sometimes call her father "dog man." Later, her father told her that it was her mother's pet name for him, a sign of her deep love.
So, the little boy nodded, thinking he had figured out the truth. The guard brother affectionately called his godfather "dog emperor," showing how much he loved his godfather.
No wonder the guard was so fierce to her after he found out she was his godfather's woman; he was jealous!
The little puppy suddenly realized, sticking its little bottom up on the tree branch, its dimples swollen, its two dark eyes sparkling. All it needed was a wildly wagging little tail to be a chubby little dog that had discovered something fun.
When Zhuangyou climbed up the tree with a worried heart, she saw the little baby curled up into a tiny, mischievous little ball. All her worries vanished, leaving her with only a helpless and amused expression.
This little rascal wasn't afraid at all; he was watching with great interest.
At this moment, the man, who had been holding back for a long time, finally blurted out, "This isn't your secret code, is it?"
The palace maid sneered, "You guessed right, so now, you can die!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately realized something was wrong and tried to make a run for it.
The little girl looked in surprise at the palace maid who had suddenly become so fierce. She grabbed the guard who was about to leave and pulled him back, just like how her wet nurse would always drag her back whenever she tried to sneak away to avoid sleeping.
The man, pulled back, tilted his head to avoid the woman's thrusting hairpin, but the next moment, the hairpin was pressed against his throat.
"Don't move, stay still!" This time it was the woman's turn to threaten viciously, "Tell me! Who are you!"
The little boy blinked his eyes, curiously looking at the round head below that had switched places, not understanding why his older brother and sister had changed their positions and even their tone of voice.
But the little boy soon realized that this older brother was much more annoying than the aloof older sister from before. He winked at his sister in a roguish way, "Hey, little Cui'er, not bad kung fu."
The woman looked at the grinning man, her face still cold, and with a sudden burst of strength, slammed him against the uneven stone wall.
