The eagle stopped in its tracks, only to see the little girl toddling along on her short legs, running to the gate of Ronghua Palace, looking back and forth with curiosity.
"Oh no, it's locked."
To everyone's surprise, Sisi tiptoed and carefully poked the heavy lock with her little hands.
It was nearly noon, and the large iron padlock was getting quite hot from the sun. The baby's skin was already very delicate.
With that one poke, the little girl's hand was burned by the scorching heat and pulled back.
Changying, watching from behind, was startled. He stepped forward, bent down, and asked with concern,
"Princess, is your hand alright? Shall I take you to see the imperial physician?"
Regardless of the Emperor's current affection for the little princess, the little princess's quirky and clever nature is something that even the cold-faced guard Changying finds very endearing, and he naturally cares for the little girl constantly.
Helian Mousi waved his little hand dismissively and said indifferently,
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just got burned a little bit. When I got to the imperial physician, Sisi pointed to herself and said she was all better."
Sisi isn't a fragile crystal doll; forget about domineering CEOs and Mary Sue tropes.
After all, Sisi is an independent and self-reliant child; if she doesn't have that kind of luck, she'll just cry.
Once again, Sisi stared curiously at the tightly locked gates of Ronghua Palace, then turned her little head and looked at Changying with a strange expression.
"Big brother, why is the evil queen's palace locked? Where is the evil queen?"
The little girl's eyes were clear and pure, and her face was filled with innocent and adorable charm. Changying felt a little awkward for a moment, unsure of how to speak to her.
Finally, under the persistent gaze of a certain Sisi, Changying, the cold-faced guard who couldn't mince words, gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"Last night, the Wen family suffered a defeat, and the Imperial Concubine committed suicide by drinking poison."
Changying tried to summarize the story in a short sentence to the little girl so as not to frighten her.
Actually, Changying is overthinking it. What hasn't Mou Sisi experienced? He's seen plenty of storms and heavy rains.
After listening to Changying's words, Mou Sisi looked at the tightly locked door, blinked, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.
"Huh? The wicked queen has already logged off?"
Shaking her head, the little girl sighed wistfully.
"Oh my god, this damn love!"
After saying that, the little girl walked away with her chubby little hands behind her back and her little feet dangling.
Long Eagle: "?"

Yongqing Palace
Ever since that certain Sisi was sent out of the palace, Yongqing Palace has become deserted and quiet.
Just as the Wen family's attempt to seize power failed last night, the entire palace is in a state of trepidation today.
Everyone held their breath, afraid of making a mistake and being caught in the crossfire.
You should know that early this morning, the Prime Minister led his men and ransacked the Wen family's residence. All the ministers involved in the Wen family's coup attempt were imprisoned without exception.
When Sisi came back, she secretly stood at the door peeking in, her little head full of mischievous ideas.
How can I, this little cutie, make a grand entrance and give my second brother by the Daming Lake a good surprise?
Standing behind the little girl, Changying's taut, cold face began to falter. He couldn't understand why the little princess had to act like a thief just to return to the palace.
Unfortunately, before the young girl could come up with a clever idea, she was discovered by the palace servants in Yongqing Palace.
The palace maid was pruning the flowers and plants when she looked up and saw the little girl peeking out from the palace gate.
