"Father, Mother, what is the underworld?"
Yinzhen raised an eyebrow and stared at Honghui for a while: "Tell your father how you found out about this?"
Honghui quickly covered his mouth with both hands, realizing that he had lost his sense of caution because he was with his mother and father.
"Grandpa told it to his son." Of course not, Honghui touched his nose guiltily, his small eyes constantly stealing glances at Yinzhen's reaction.
“Oh, I see.” Yinzhen paused for a moment. “The underworld refers to the place where people might go after they die. It is said that there is also an imperial city there, called Fengdu.”
"Another world?" Honghui was filled with curiosity about this description. He looked at Yinzhen with bright eyes, wanting him to tell him more.

Honghui went back to sleep, still shaken. Yihua looked at Yinzhen and asked, "Your Majesty, is Honghui alright?"

Yi Hua took a moment to realize what Yinzhen meant, and her eyes widened immediately: "This is inappropriate."
"Pretend you don't know," Yinzhen said in a softer voice. "I'll go and remind Honghui again; that kid's too loose-lipped!"
