Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Liuliu jumped into Sui Ning's arms early in the morning.

But something was wrong with his condition, as if his energy had been sucked out by a monster.

Sui Ning stroked Liuliu's fur and asked, "What happened?"

Afterwards, Liuliu seemed to have found someone to talk to, and began to complain about Xiao Helin to Sui Ning.

Sui Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

On the way back, Sui Ning asked Xiao Huai to be mentally prepared, as Empress Defei would definitely call him soon.

When Sui Ning came to find Xiao Huai, she found that there was someone else hiding in the dark near the pavilion.

This situation has never happened before.

There were only Xiao Helin and Xiao Huai in this pavilion, and Xiao Huai's presence had never been noticed by others.

These people must be the ones arranged by Concubine De to take care of Xiao Helin. I think they should be the palace servants that Xiao Helin did not get rid of.

Of course, she wouldn't believe it if someone said there was no instruction from Concubine De.

Although Xiao Huai is only eight years old now, his mental maturity is far beyond his peers due to years of hardship.

She told Xiao Huai about the matter and believed that he could handle it.

------

The Jianjia Palace of Concubine De.

Xiao Helin skipped and jumped all the way and ran into the palace happily, "Mother, your son is back!"

"Look at you, you're sweating all over." Concubine De smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Helin's sweat. "Where have you been playing again?"

Xiao Helin lied calmly, "I didn't go anywhere. I just went near the Imperial Garden..."

"Really?" Concubine De put down her handkerchief and asked with a smile, "Then why didn't your brother see you when he went to the Imperial Garden to look for you today?"

"Or I heard from others that I seemed to have seen you in the cold palace."

Hearing this, Xiao Helin quickly sat down and asked with a guilty look on his face, "Mother, do you know everything?"

Concubine De said earnestly, "Lin'er, it's not that I don't want you to go to the cold palace, it's just that I don't want you to have too much contact with the people in the cold palace."

"You are still young and don't know the pros and cons of this. Mother is worried that you will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

Especially since her son is such a simple-minded person.

Xiao Helin scratched his head, "But I didn't meet anyone else. I just met a little brother in the cold palace."

De Fei had already heard the report from her subordinates, "But there's an eight-year-old boy named Xiao Huai?"

Xiao Helin nodded, "Yes, does Mother know him too? He's amazing! The reason I've made progress in my studies recently is all because of what he taught me!"

His cat is amazing! Today..."

Defei was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Xiao Huai was so smart at such a young age in the cold palace!

It would be fine if Xiao Huai really cared about Lin'er, but I'm afraid he has other intentions.

Especially when you are born in a royal family, it is even more of a luxury to express your sincerity.

Afterwards, Concubine De told Xiao Helin about Xiao Huai's life experience.

Xiao Helin sighed, "So this little brother is also my brother! But he's so pitiful. Mother, can you bring Brother Huai over to live with us?"

Concubine De: ...

It turned out that what she just said went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't hear a word!

Concubine De said with a serious expression: "Lin'er, you must remember that in the palace, apart from mother and your fifth brother, do not trust anyone."

"Here, any one of them could take advantage of you if they get close to you."

Her son was born pure, but too honest and sincere.

She did not expect him to achieve much in the future, she just hoped that he could live a safe and smooth life and be a leisurely prince.

Xiao Helin was confused when he heard this. He placed his hand on his chest and said, "Mother, although I am slow, I can feel it with my heart."

"Mother truly loves Lin'er. Although Brother Huai appears cold, I can sense that he holds no ill will towards me. Furthermore, I took the initiative to approach him this time."

"On the contrary, it's my usual playmates. Although they often play with me, I know that they always laugh at me behind my back for being stupid."

Even the fifth brother is the same.

This is also the reason why the two brothers Xiao Helin and Xiao Hechuan have never been very close.

Of course, Xiao Helin didn't say the latter part because he was afraid that Concubine De would be sad.

"Mother is afraid that you will be used by others and end up in trouble!" Concubine De's face was full of worry.

Xiao Helin stood up and patted Concubine De on the back, saying seriously, "Don't be afraid, mother. I will become a great general after I study martial arts diligently."

"When there are bad guys, I will beat one if there is one, and I will beat two if there are two. I will protect my mother!"

Concubine De burst into laughter and looked at her little son in front of her, feeling warm in her heart.

In the end, Concubine De still failed to convince Xiao Helin.

Although Xiao Huai has lived in the cold palace for many years, he is still a prince after all.

If what Xiao Helin said just now was true, then Xiao Huai was also a capable person.

He is still young now, so it is normal that the emperor has not noticed it yet. Sooner or later he will have to leave the cold palace when he is older.

Thinking of this, Concubine De sent someone to the cold palace to summon Xiao Huai.

On this side, Xiao Huai had just finished his dinner when Empress Defei's people came in.

"The servant Xiao Li greets His Majesty the Seventh Prince."

The leading eunuch bowed respectfully first, then said, "I am the servant of Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. Her Majesty has important matters to attend to, and would like to trouble Your Highness to accompany us."

Xiao Huai understood, so he nodded, "Please lead the way, eunuch."

Sui Ning had already turned into a cloud of smoke before Xiao Lizi entered the room, and attached itself to the jade pendant that Xiao Huai carried with him.

After a while, Xiao Huai arrived at Jianjia Palace.

As he entered the hall, Xiao Huai immediately saw Concubine De sitting at the top of the table.

She was wearing a gorgeous lavender palace dress, sitting upright with a teacup in her hand, with exquisite pearl hairpins adorning her hair, looking quiet and dignified.

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes and knelt respectfully, "Xiao Huai pays homage to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort."

De Fei said calmly, "Stand up, and take a seat."

From the moment Xiao Huai entered the palace, Concubine De had been observing him carefully.

He is very polite, neither humble nor arrogant, and seems to be smart and sensible, but I don't know what his character is like.

"I summoned you here because Lin'er has made great progress in his studies recently, and the teacher has praised him highly. I heard Lin'er mention that you were helping him, so you must have put a lot of effort into it."

At this time, Liuliu and Suining were hiding in the jade pendant and watching the show.

Liuliu: "Ningning, what Concubine De said is really powerful. She's almost saying that Xiao Huai has ulterior motives."

Sui Ning nodded. How could someone who was favored in the harem be a simple person?

Xiao Huai bowed and said frankly, "I am terrified. I grew up in the cold palace and longed for knowledge, but I had no conditions. It just so happened that the young prince was troubled by schoolwork, so I am exchanging books with the young prince on this matter."

"The little prince is simple, honest, lively and lovely. Xiao Huai didn't have to put too much effort into assisting him with his studies."

Concubine De put down the teacup in her hand and asked seriously, "You have suffered in the cold palace these past few years. The emperor has forgotten you. Do you blame him?"
