"Yes," Dejiang replied, immediately giving a wink to the little eunuch behind him.
Cha Nian watched the little eunuch run off in a flash, blinked her teary eyes, sniffed, and asked Emperor Chongjin, "Godfather, are Sister Zhuangyou and the wet nurse really alright?"
"It's true, I am the Emperor, how could I lie to Niannian?"
"Then, then Nian Nian isn't a jinx anymore!" Cha Nian was happy to know that Sister Zhuang You was alright.
"Yes, of course, Niannian is my little lucky star." Emperor Chongjin gently coaxed the little girl in his arms, but when he looked at the wet nurses, his eyes flashed with cold killing intent.
The little dumpling smiled happily, her dimples showing, and hugged Chong Jindi's neck, pleading in her childish voice, "Then, Godfather, after Sister Zhuangyou and Nanny Jiang come back, can Niannian not have these nannies anymore? These nannies are so fierce, they won't let Niannian do anything."
As she spoke, the little baby pouted with a pitiful expression. Her eyes, which had just been washed by tears, were bright and sparkling, blinking like stars. She stared at Emperor Chongjin with longing eyes, looking utterly pathetic.
Emperor Chongjin's heart was in his throat; how could he not respond?
He immediately agreed, "Okay, if Niannian doesn't like them, then we won't let them serve us."
The wet nurses were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling. They regretted how fierce they had been to Cha Nian earlier.
Emperor Chongjin's gaze swept over the pale-faced wet nurses, and as he looked at the little baby in his arms, whose cheeks were puffed out and who was resisting, he suddenly remembered something.
He gently patted the little baby in his arms and asked softly, "Did Niannian run off to play in the Imperial Garden during her afternoon nap because the wet nurses wouldn't take her out to play, so she ran off on her own?"
Speaking of this, sure enough, little Niannian pouted even more, almost enough to hang a small oil bottle on her lips, and nodded her little head with a pitiful look.
Not only did they not let her go out to play, they simply threw her inside the house. She wanted to go to the yard, but as soon as she stretched out her little foot, she would be glared at fiercely by the fierce old woman and scolded back.
Emperor Chongjin's face immediately darkened, and his sharp gaze swept over the wet nurses. However, his movements became gentler as he patted the little girl in his arms and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, Niannian. With your godfather here, no one will dare to bully you in the future."
After speaking, Emperor Chongjin glanced at Dejiang and said, "Dejiang, drag the man away and punish him severely according to palace rules. Let the entire palace watch the execution and let me see clearly what will happen to those who dare to neglect the Crown Prince and Princess Fuying!"
"yes."
After agreeing, Dejiang beckoned to a few eunuchs and walked toward the wet nurses with a cold and fierce look in his eyes.
By this time, the wet nurses had lost the fierce look they had shown to the little baby. They were all terrified, their faces ashen. When they saw Dejiang approaching, they kowtowed repeatedly in terror, begging for mercy.
Huo Chengche's deep eyes were cold as he swept his gaze over the wet nurses, his brows furrowing in disgust. "Eunuch De, gag them, lest they frighten Niannian."
"This old servant obeys." Dejiang responded, gave the little eunuch a look, and the next moment the wet nurses were gagged and dragged away.
Even so, Huo Chengche still looked up with slight concern at the little baby in Emperor Chongjin's arms.
At this moment, Cha Nian's fluffy little head peeked out from Chong Jindi's shoulder. Its bright, dark eyes rolled around as if searching for something, and finally looked curiously behind Chong Jindi.
