"Your Majesty, you must be tired after traveling so far. Please give the little princess to this old servant, and I will take her to sleep," said Granny Ding.
Gu Linchao glanced at his daughter in his arms and shook his head. "No need, you can go down now."
Upon hearing this, Granny Ding had no choice but to respond, bow, and leave.
Inside the house, Gu Huaijin, having eaten and drunk her fill, fell asleep in her mother's arms.
Wen Nongnong got up and carried him to the cradle. Just as she put him down, Gu Linchao also came in carrying his daughter.
"Is Yaoyao asleep?" Wen Nongnong looked up and saw the little one nestled obediently in her father's arms. Her heart softened. "Give her to me."

Gu Linchao's heart softened. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, feeling a pang of guilt as he recalled what had happened last time. "When you were in trouble last time, I didn't get there in time to save you... I..."
