"Father."
A slightly cool voice spoke. Helian Ci sat in a wheelchair, his slightly damp, dark hair hanging down to his waist.
His face was sickly pale, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and his dark eyes met Helian Nie's gaze. His eyes were as calm as a deep pool, not disturbing the slightest ripple.
For some reason, Wenren Yu suddenly recalled that scene: the assassin lying dead on the Second Prince's shoulder, blood gushing from his neck, while the Second Prince remained calm and unmoved.
"Um."
Helian Nie's long, narrow, peach-blossom eyes lingered on Helian Ci for only a brief moment before he looked away.
The second son is the one I'm most satisfied with.
Sisi lowered his little head, his chubby little hands holding his third brother's little hand, and they stood side by side, admitting their mistake.
On her little face, those grape-like, watery eyes kept sneaking glances at her.
Second Brother is out! Sisi, look, is Second Brother feeling any better?
"What's wrong, hmm?"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded above my head, and then my little head was gently rubbed by a pair of cool hands.
Helian Nie remained silent, and Helian Xiaosong Si dared not move, his grape-like, watery eyes...
Stealing a glance at Helian Nie sitting on the pearwood chair, Sisi whispered to Helian Ci in what she considered a very quiet voice...
"Second brother, Sisi and Third brother angered Father, so they were punished by Father to stand."
Mou Sisi was dejected. The little tuft of hair on her head that had been sticking up in the wind had now drooped down.
Helian You, standing next to the little girl, pursed his lips, feeling a little annoyed. It was all his fault; otherwise, his little princess wouldn't have had to stand as punishment with him.
Sisi tiptoed closer to Helian Ci, then whispered in a soft, sweet voice...
"Second brother, do you feel any better?"
Worry flickered in Mou Sisi's eyes, and Helian You's dark, bright eyes also secretly glanced at Helian Ci.
However, what shone in his eyes was more curiosity. After all, it was the first time the two brothers had met, and it was normal that they didn't have much of a bond yet.
Helian Ci's sickly pale face, with its unusually red lips curving slightly, patted the little girl's head, his voice gentle.
"Yes, Second Brother is much better."
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Sisi nodded her little head happily and obediently moved her little feet back, aligning them perfectly.
There was nothing he could do; Sisi was still being punished by standing with his third brother, and since their father wasn't saying anything, Sisi didn't dare to move.
Helian Ci took in the little girl's little actions, and a smile and doting feeling rose in his heart. This silly girl, did she think that her father wouldn't find out?
Not to mention Helian Nie, everyone present saw the little girl's actions very clearly, and even what the little girl thought was a soft whisper was heard perfectly.
Helian Nie instinctively felt a throbbing sensation between his brows, especially from the two standing children.
They even have a meek and obedient look, making it impossible for you to scold them.
"No need to stand anymore."
The sinister voice remained chilling and menacing, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the helplessness within it.
After saying this, the villainous tyrant led his grand imperial retinue away from Yongqing Palace.
"Thank you, oh, Father Emperor is leaving already? Aren't you going to stay and have a meal with Sisi?"
Helian Nie, who had just arrived at the entrance of Yongqing Palace, heard the little girl's murmurs and a smirk appeared on his handsome face: "Dinner? There's no need. I'm already full of anger."
