but……
Helian Yi's gaze fell on the crimson dragon robe held in the little girl's arms, and his handsome brows furrowed slightly.
"This is……?"
Helian Si followed Helian Yi's gaze, his short arms tightening their grip on the crimson dragon robe, and smiled sweetly at Helian Yi.
"Oh, this is Father Emperor's dragon robe. Father Emperor promised not to give Sisi to the wicked Empress. In return, Sisi will wash Father Emperor's dragon robe."
Helian Si spoke cheerfully, but Helian Yi's brows furrowed more and more. "Give it to the wicked empress? What's going on here?"
"Huh... Father Emperor is going to give Sisi to the Imperial Concubine?"
Where did this all come from? Why hadn't he heard a single word about it?
Sisi blinked, then realized she'd let something slip. Her rosy cheeks furrowed slightly, and after a moment's thought, she said...
"Oh...no, it's just that Sisi had a dream last night..."
The man, Sisi, went on and on, explaining things to Helian Yi, leaving Helian Yi increasingly bewildered and amused.
Just because of a dream, the little girl believed it so wholeheartedly, as if it were a formidable enemy. That's really...
Helian Yi rubbed Helian Si's fluffy little head, unsure of what to say to the little girl.
But this dragon robe...
Helian Yi's gaze fell on the dragon robe held in Helian Si's arms, and his handsome brows furrowed slightly.
His dark eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked at the little girl in his arms, and his voice, with a coaxing tone, gently spoke.
"Sisi, my dear, can Uncle Wufu help you carry this dragon robe?"
Helian Si shook his head firmly, clutching the dragon robe tightly to his chest, his grape-like, watery eyes resolute.
"No need, this is Father Emperor, Sisi can hold it herself."
Hearing the little girl call him "Father Emperor" repeatedly, and seeing the affection on her rosy cheeks when she mentioned Helian Nie, Helian Yi gently pursed his lips.
Seeing the little girl's bright smile, Helian Yi ultimately said nothing, only gently patting her head and smiling tenderly.
It's alright, there are some things that little princess doesn't need to know.
Yue'er and Uncle Wufu followed behind the two, watching this scene. Yue'er felt genuinely happy.
It wasn't just because Helian Yi still adored the little princess, but also because of the Emperor's increasingly kind behavior towards her these past few days.
Now that the little princess is getting better every day, she has finally lived up to the Empress's dying wish.

When the group returned to Yongqing Palace, they had just stepped through the palace gates when they immediately saw the boy sitting quietly in a wheelchair under the eaves.
His dark eyes, like deep pools, gazed in the direction of the palace gate. When he saw the little girl being held in Helian Yi's arms, his sickly pale face relaxed almost imperceptibly.
"Awoo~? Second brother, Sisi is back~!"
Helian Si also saw Helian Ci. Thinking back to his own fierce glare this morning, Helian Si's heart instinctively trembled.
Now that my life is spared, I'm still terrified of my second brother by Daming Lake, who loves to eat pretty little babies.
Then it rose up again, and the little one hurriedly greeted Helian Ci in a fawning manner.
After all, as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face, so the same principle applies to a child who doesn't eat a smiling face.
