"You've given your fourth brother so many ideas, surely you can give me a few good ones too?"
Emperor Huiwu's gaze toward Chi Tang was quite unfathomable.
For a moment, Chi Tang didn't know how to answer.
"What, you don't have it?" Emperor Huiwu asked again.
Chi Tang was torn between her inner thoughts and her own conscience.
Does the Emperor now know that the blueprints for the things Fourth Brother made were all provided by her?
So, did she tell the truth?
But what if the emperor was just fooling her?
What if the emperor thinks she's a monster?
"Um?"
That "hmm" resounded like thunder in my ears.
Chi Tang immediately lifted her little bottom, revealing a sweet, childlike smile: "Sure, you're my uncle! I can share what the gods gave me with you."
He feigned ignorance, yet it was as if he had answered everything.
This answer surprised Emperor Huiwu.
He looked the toddler over carefully. He thought the child was only five or six years old. His reaction was so quick and his words were quite tactful, just as Chen Yi had praised him.
"Wife? You're saying Chenyi is your wife? Why do you say that? Chenyi is a member of the royal family, how can you address him like that? Huh?!"
The last syllable was slightly emphasized.
Silang and An'an, who were standing nearby, were terrified.
Chi Tang pouted and said tearfully, "Then, then I won't shout anymore, please don't be so fierce."
"You changed your tune so easily?"
Emperor Huiwu continued to tease.
Chi Tang lowered his head and muttered softly, almost to himself, "I'm going to write a letter to my wife, hmph."
"Hahaha."
Emperor Huiwu burst into laughter upon hearing this.
So this chubby girl was waiting for him here!
What a clever little devil!
“Brother Chenyi is willing for his aunt to call him that.” Silang, hearing the laughter, became bolder and spoke up for his aunt.
Since both Auntie and Brother Chenyi are happy about it, what are other people saying?
An'an was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe and carefully tugged at her younger brother's clothes.
How dare this Shiro be so bold!
Emperor Huiwu saw everything. He told the children to stand up, then patted Chi Tang's head and suddenly said, "Tangtang, I want to thank you."
The sudden remark left everyone present dumbfounded.
Would the emperor thank a baby?
This... how can it be so fantastical?
Chi Tang cautiously raised her head, and when she saw the sincerity in Emperor Huiwu's eyes, she suddenly understood.
"You're welcome, because I love my wife."
She understood.
Emperor Huiwu, as an uncle, thanked her for pulling Chenyi back from the darkness.
It seems that Emperor Huiwu and his nephew Chenyi have a very good relationship.
"You always call him 'wife,' so when you grow up, will you marry him?" Emperor Huiwu teased Chi Tang.
Chi Tang shook his head: "I like my wife, but who knows what will happen when we grow up?"
It's strange that you're talking about things when you grow up, you're so young.
Emperor Huiwu saw that Chi Tang still looked childish, so he didn't say anything more.
Before long, Emperor Huiwu let them leave.
However, before leaving, he told Chi Tang not to forget what he had promised him.
The Chi family was completely bewildered, but they dared not ask Chi Tang what was going on.
"You mean, I just let them go like that, right?" Emperor Huiwu stood atop the high building, gazing at the vast and majestic palace, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Letting the Chi family go means that he has forgiven the Consort.
Can……
Zhou Ruhai bowed and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent."
As for anything else, the old fox refused to say a word more.
What's right or wrong about it?
For His Majesty, it's simply a matter of whether he's willing or not.
"You old fool... Tell them to release Chi Sihai and that child as well. As for Marquis Ruyang... just give him a warning."
Marquis Ruyang was Consort Rong's biological father.
He was also the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Chi Sihai and Wulang, and the subsequent delivery of them to His Majesty.
Everyone knows why.
"yes."
Emperor Huiwu thought about it and still went to Weiyang Palace.
That is the palace where Consort Chen resides.
When they entered, Consort Chen was sitting in front of the couch as usual, leisurely arranging flowers, without a trace of worry.
"Your Majesty is here! Come and see how I arranged the flowers today! Don't you think they look beautiful?"
She did not bow, nor did she refer to herself as "your subject" or "your concubine".
The absence of those cumbersome formalities actually made Emperor Huiwu feel more comfortable.
Emperor Huiwu sat down and glanced at her sideways. Seeing her completely unconcerned made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Aren't you concerned about how I dealt with your son?"
"Since you abandoned him back then, you never considered him your son." Consort Chen smiled, her voice clear and decisive, but her words sent chills down one's spine!
Even Emperor Huiwu did not expect Consort Chen to be so resolute and indifferent!
Especially in front of him!
Aren't you afraid I'll think you're ruthless?
“I express what I think, and doesn’t Your Majesty like my straightforwardness the most?” Consort Chen reached out and tugged at Emperor Huiwu’s beard, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Emperor Huiwu was annoyed by her laughter and pushed her away.
Like a little child.
"Alright, Your Majesty. I only know that Your Majesty is merciful. That child and even the Chi family have not done anything wrong, so why would Your Majesty take their lives?"
