Every move, every smile, was flawless. If she hadn't written it herself, Helian Si would almost have believed that Wen Changle was truly thinking of her own child.
Helian Nie raised his long, narrow eyebrows, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, and spoke with his usual gentle tone.
"In that case, my beloved consort, please go back first. Rest assured, my beloved consort, since I have killed the palace maid in your palace, I will definitely return a dutiful palace maid to you."
Wen Changle's fingers tightened slightly. To her, the palace maid sent by Helian Nie was tantamount to an obstacle that was monitoring her.
But if she refused just like that, it would only make Helian Nie suspicious. She took a deep breath.
She looked up at Helian Nie, her charming face filled with gratitude, and met Helian Nie's captivating eyes.
She shyly withdrew her beautiful eyes, her graceful figure fluttering in the light gauze, and bowed to Helian Nie, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your compassion."
Helian Nie lazily raised his hand and waved, and Wen Changle turned and gracefully left. Each step she took was extremely careful, as if she dared not make the slightest mistake.
Because she knew that behind her, Helian Nie's sinister gaze was always watching her.
Helian Nie only withdrew his gaze after Wen Changle's graceful figure had completely disappeared from sight.
He rested his hand on his well-defined chin and looked at the little dumpling who was staring at him thoughtfully with puffed-out cheeks.
"Is there something on my face?" Helian Nie asked with a half-smile, his long, slender fingers unconsciously pinching the little dumpling's pink cheeks in front of him.
Helian Si shook her head honestly; she had simply discovered something amusing.
Turns out her kid isn't stupid at all, his acting skills are amazing, and he even has a sharp tongue!
Look, when the little one was judging that palace maid, he said she dared to offend my little dumpling, which means the little one doesn't admit that the palace maid told Granny Rong to push him at all.
Then there's that line he said to Wen Changle: "Kill the concubine's maid and give her a new, obedient maid." Isn't that just a disguised way of planting his own spies in Wen Changle's palace?
Well, to put it simply, Wen Changle's mischievous expression just now, where he suffered in silence but couldn't show it, was very satisfying to watch!
"What are you looking at, hmm?" This little bundle of joy is quite bold, and at such a young age, she already knows about liking men?
"Sisi just thinks Father Emperor is really amazing. When Sisi grows up, Sisi wants to be as amazing as Father Emperor."
Helian Si twisted his little body, his pink face and grape-like eyes sparkling with adoration.
Helian Nie was slightly taken aback by the little dumpling's adoring expression. After a long while, a soft chuckle escaped his lips.
"Hehe, little dumpling, I am very powerful, but you should not be like me."
With slender, fair fingers and distinct knuckles, He Lian Nie brushed aside a strand of hair that had fallen across his face. Deep within He Lian Nie's peach blossom eyes, there was a hint of sadness that was extremely difficult to detect.
As the child's biological mother, how could Helian Si not understand the reason for that sadness?
Thinking about the tragic backstory she had written for Helian Nie, Helian Si suddenly felt like a wicked stepmother. How could she have been so cruel?
Sniffling, she hugged Helian Nie tightly with her two little hands, "Father, don't be sad. From now on, Sisi will always be with you."
