Su Nuan expressed her dissatisfaction at Feng Junyi’s cold voice.

He held her in his arms a few moments ago and even gently covered her eyes from his violence.

She was still giddy from it. How can he treat me like this in the blink of an eye?

She refused to accept this; she hugged him with both arms and insisted, “I’m not letting go.”

She puffed her cheeks and wrapped her arms around his neck even tighter. She rested her little head by his neck and shook her body. Her soft, fluffy hair swept across his chin, tickling him.

“If you’re not letting go, I will.”

He let go, and Su Nuan was suddenly left suspended in the air. She dangled off Feng Junyi by holding onto his neck with both arms.. It was a little horrifying, and even Eunuch Wang could not bear to look at them.

Is our Emperor… carrying a koala bear around his neck?

However, Su Nuan only hung off his body for a short while before letting go.

She stood there with her head lowered, looking disappointed.

Feng Junyi stopped in his tracks to look at her. He couldn’t see the expression on her face clearly, so he asked, “You’re not coming along?”

Su Nuan nodded. “I’m not. Big Brother Emperor, you should leave first.”

Feng Junyi walked over to Su Nuan and lifted her chin with one hand. The little girl’s eyes remained fixed on the ground. Her nose and eyes were red.

“You’re crying?”

Feng Junyi felt a little stuffy in his chest, but his voice was still as cold as always.

“Big Brother Emperor, I was so scared. If the Empress Dowager was really poisoned by my pastries just now, what would I do? I was so scared…” Su Nuan sobbed.

Then, she threw herself into Feng Junyi’s arms.

Feng Junyi’s body stiffened again. He had almost forgotten that she was just a 10-year-old crybaby who had always been pampered and spoiled. It would be odd if she weren’t terrified by what happened.

Maybe she’s been holding it in and can only let it out now.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let that happen again.”

He stood there without moving, allowing the girl to hug him.

Su Nuan hugged Feng Junyi and cried for quite a while.

She didn’t expect this little body of hers to have so many tears. She had just pinched herself, but her tears flowed like a faulty faucet.

But, she also knew that crying was natural for a young girl like her, so she simply wiped her snot and tears on the little tyrant’s clothes and cried to her heart’s content.

After Su Nuan finished crying, Feng Junyi looked at the two wet spots on his chest. His face darkened.

When Wang Ze noticed it, he gasped in shock. He stepped forward and said warmly, “Your Majesty, I will help you wash up and change your clothes.”

“That won’t be necessary. Just bring a clean set of clothes to Fengqi Palace.”

With that, he squeezed Su Nuan’s soft hand and strode towards Fengqi Palace.

Her soft, small hand stayed obediently in his palm, making him feel light-headed.

Commandery Princess Shuanghua was still crying in front of the Empress Dowager in Changshou Palace.

“Aunt, I didn’t mean to harm you. I admit, I only wanted to frame the Empress so that she would be thrown out… Aunt, you know that I have liked my cousin, the Emperor, since I was young. Why did she steal my position?! She’s just a spy sent by the Yun Nation!”

Commandery Princess Shuanghua was unrepentant. She had even pushed the blame onto Su Nuan, so the Empress Dowager grew even angrier than before.

She even got rid of her initial idea of sending her into the palace as a concubine during the Emperor’s concubine selections.

The palace would never be peaceful if I had sent her 38over to the harem.

Instead, she fancied Su Nuan even more.

“Don’t be rude. She has entered the palace and become the Empress. She is in control of the six palaces. I can let bygones be bygones, but I still have to give you a small punishment to stop you from making bigger mistakes later. You won’t be allowed to enter the palace for a month. Guards, send the Princess out.”

The Commandery Princess knew that she had angered the Empress Dowager. She bowed and said, “Yes, I will reflect on my mistakes.”

As Commandery Princess Shuanghua retreated, the Regent came rushing over.

When the palace maids and eunuchs saw him, they immediately made way for him.

The Regent strode over to the Empress Dowager and held her hand. “Wan’er, how are you?”

The Empress Dowager replied gently, “I’m fine. Boyun. Why are you here?”

Liu Boyun answered, “I heard that someone tried to poison you. What happened? Did you find the culprit?”

The Empress Dowager then told Liu Boyun everything that had happened today. Liu Boyun frowned. “Commandery Princess Shuanghua is too obstinate. Still, how was the Empress completely unaware that someone poisoned her things and tried to frame her?”

The Empress Dowager chuckled. “She’s just a child. Why would she know those things? The Emperor said that there was poison in the pastries, but that girl still wanted to take a bite. What a silly girl.”

In the Empress Dowager’s eyes, only such an innocent and cute child would be so lovely. It was impossible not to like her.

Her face was full of affection as she spoke of Su Nuan.

Liu Boyun nodded and said, “I’m glad that you’re fine, Wan’er.”

She sighed. “If Yue’er was still alive, she would be as old as the Empress. She and Yue’er even have the same birthday. Isn’t that such a coincidence? Did the heavens pity me—did they send Su Nuan to accompany me?”

Pain flashed across his eyes. “Perhaps. Wan’er, don’t worry, I will protect you all,” he assured her.

…

Feng Junyi was taking a bath and changing his clothes in the side hall. Su Nuan was very bored, so she took some peanuts and melon seeds from the supermarket and ate while waiting.

Zhen Zhu came over and asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, I was terrified today. What would we have done if the Emperor wasn’t there?”

Su Nuan had a different opinion. She munched on some melon seeds as she said, “Even if the Emperor wasn’t there, do you think Commandery Princess Shuanghua would have let the Empress Dowager eat it? The Empress Dowager is her greatest ally. If the Empress Dowager was gone, she wouldn’t have any support.”

She had heard from the palace maids that Commandery Princess Shuanghua’s mother had passed away after giving birth to her. Her father married another woman, but he didn’t treat her very well. In addition, her father, Minister Shang, favored his concubines and neglected his wife. As a result, the entire Shang Residence was in a foul mood. The Commandery Princess had no one to rely on in her home. If it weren’t for the Empress Dowager’s protection, she would have died a dozen times over.

Zhen Zhu nodded despite not fully understanding. In fact, she was not made aware of the plans to murder Su Nuan back then. She was only forced to follow orders and lead the Empress to that location.

Fortunately, the danger had been averted. As long as the Empress brought her family over, she would have nothing to worry about.

Zhen Zhu said, “Thank goodness. Commandery Princess Shuanghua is being handled, and it was fortunate that the Emperor was there.”

“Do you think the Empress Dowager really doesn’t know anything?”
