The next day, as the first rays of golden sunlight streamed into the bedchamber, Helian Nie opened his eyes.
When his narrow, peach-blossom eyes fell upon the little bundle in his arms, clutching a corner of his clothes and curled up like a tiny dumpling,...
Helian Nie smiled, a rare moment of pleasure on his face. "Well, this ugly thing is sleeping quite well."
Helian Si was still fast asleep, having a terrible nightmare. In his dream, he was first bullied by his sickly second brother by the Daming Lake.
Then, with a wave of his hand, his beloved children's comic books were all confiscated by the palace maids and eunuchs.
"Hmm, Sisi's comic book..."
In her dream, the little girl looked at the empty bookshelf, sat on the floor, and burst into tears, crying very loudly.
The little girl unconsciously murmured aloud, and the villainous tyrant, who had been in a pleasant mood, instantly darkened his devilishly handsome face.
Looking at the little dumpling still sleeping soundly, Helian Nie reached out and pinched the soft cheek without any hesitation.
In his dream, Helian Si was feeling wronged. His little hand instinctively swung out, and with a loud slap, he knocked away the villainous tyrant's hand.
"..." The air was silent for a second.
"Heh." Helian Nie laughed instead of getting angry. Don't worry, he's determined to keep those comic books that ugly thing treasures.
Because of this slap, Helian Si's short hands, which were tightly gripping Helian Nie's collar, loosened their grip.
Helian Nie rose, drew back the layers of bed curtains, and with a flick of his wrist, the crimson dragon robe hanging on the clothes rack was already in his hands.
Having put on his robes, Helian Nie was about to leave when he paused, remembering something.
He turned around, pulled back the layers of bed curtains, and his gaze fell on the little bundle of joy who was still sleeping sprawled out on his back. A twitch appeared at the corner of his devilishly handsome face.
Reaching out, she pulled up the blanket that had been rudely kicked away by Helian Si, and gently covered him with it.
Finally, realizing what he was doing, Helian Nie's hand holding the bedsheet froze, and a very strange feeling rose in his heart.
Am I... going mad?
The moon was keeping watch in the outer palace. When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and immediately went into the inner palace to check on the little princess.
However, when Yue'er saw that tall, crimson figure, she was completely stunned.
He raised his hand to rub his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things, but when he opened them again, he was met with Helian Nie's slightly narrowed, cold eyes.
Yue'er froze, instinctively wanting to kneel and kowtow, but Helian Nie raised his hand to stop her.
Such a loud noise, I'm afraid it might wake up the ugly thing...
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Helian Nie was completely distraught. It must be because of his recent busy schedule with government affairs that he had become somewhat mad.
Thinking this, the villainous tyrant stepped out of his bedchamber with a very strange and dark expression.
Changying had woken up when he heard the commotion in the bedchamber. Now that he saw his emperor leave the bedchamber, he quickly climbed down from the eaves and followed behind Helian Nie.
Helian Ci's bedroom was opposite Helian Si's. At this moment, Helian Ci was sitting in a wheelchair, and Consort Lian was combing his hair.
Hearing the commotion, the two looked up and saw Helian Nie dressed in a crimson dragon robe. Consort Lian's comb fell to the ground with a clatter.
He knelt down before that crimson figure, and even Helian Ci was slightly taken aback.
However, Helian Nie only glanced at the two of them coldly before withdrawing his gaze and walking away from Yongqing Palace with Changying.
