Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

"Father, Mu'er, Mu'er was just joking with General Luo!!"

"We were just joking around as children, Father, please don't be angry!"

Qing Tingmu woke up, rushed forward and knelt down in front of Qianqian, arguing incoherently.

"Really?! Mu'er?! It really was just kids joking around?!"

On the imperial carriage, Qing Tingyu's face was cold and icy. Prince Yu twirled the blood-jade ring on his hand, questioning his unruly son who was below the carriage.

Hearing his father's cold, piercing question, Qing Tingmu stammered, "Yes, yes!"

"Uncle, Brother Mu is so innocent and naive!"

"He must be feeling playful again, thinking of inviting General Luo to joke around and have some fun! Hahaha!" His Highness the Crown Prince said with a forced smile to save the day.

After learning that His Highness the Crown Prince had come to her rescue, Qianqianluo became even more flustered.

"Hmm! It's night, Mu'er, come with me back to the palace and rest early!"

Qing Tingyu knew that it was rare for His Highness the Crown Prince to speak, so since he had spoken, he had to give his good nephew face.

"Yes, Father!!!" Qing Tingmu swallowed hard and followed his father's imperial carriage.

Only after the royal prince's personal guards' carriage was completely swallowed up by the boundless night did Qing Tingyu calmly speak.

"Hmph! It's only been a few days, how dare you lowly commoners presume to decide the life and death of members of the royal family?!"

Qing Tingyu alighted from the imperial carriage, his trailing python robe wiping the damp ground with a hissing sound like a venomous snake passing by.

Deep down, Qianqian thought: I was just joking! Why can Qingtingmu joke with me, but I can't joke with him?!

Hmph! And you ask me why I dared to speak out?! Hilarious! I have a mouth, I say what I want!

If you've got the guts, then shut my mouth, humph!

I'm so unhappy!!

His Highness the Crown Prince is going to scold someone again!

"I told you lowly commoners to shut up!" Qing Tingyu walked up to Qian Qianluo and slapped her hard across the face.

Stunned by the beating: I was thinking, the other person didn't say anything either!

"What? You're not convinced?!"

"I told you, don't be noisy!"

"Even more so in your heart! Don't let your mind be noisy!!!"

The arrogant Crown Prince was so angry that he was about to kick this ignorant and lowly commoner to death.

"Waaaaah~ Your Highness, this lowly commoner knows he was wrong!"

"Waaaaah~ No, please don't hurt your foot!!"

"This lowly person truly knows their mistake, Your Highness!!"

Qianqian hugged the Crown Prince's feet to stop him from kicking her again.

"Let go, let go!!!" Qing Tingyu was dragged so hard by this lowly commoner that he couldn't lift his feet. After thinking for a moment, he uttered these words.

"Your Highness, then... then did you spare this lowly commoner?!"

Qianqian blinked her wet eyes and looked at Qingtingyu with a pitiful expression.

Qing Tingyu stared at General Luo beneath him, unable to utter a single question for the moment.

All he could see were General Luo's red, tearful eyes, like hibiscus flowers swaying in the rain, tempting one to pluck them!

"Hmm! Let go!!!" Qing Tingyu forcefully pulled her foot away, no longer wanting to be tempted by this lowly commoner!

"Yes, Your Highness is kind and benevolent! This humble one thanks Your Highness!!"

"Your Highness, this humble subject will accompany you back to the Eastern Palace!"

"Hahaha~ Your Highness, Your Highness, watch out for the steps!"

Qianqian kept saying "Your Highness the Crown Prince" on the left and "Watch the steps" on the right, which made Qing Tingyu even more irritable!

"Hmph!!!" Qing Tingyu snorted a few times as he walked forward, his eyebrows raised to the sky as he continued on his way.

The remaining guards wisely hid in the shadows, not daring to disturb General Luo and His Highness the Crown Prince's private time.

The cool night air formed a veil of mist, which poured over the solemn and majestic imperial palace.

Qianqian, noisy and boisterous, rushed ahead of His Highness the Crown Prince, hopping and skipping as she caught the overwhelming swarm of fireflies with her bare hands.

"Wow wow wow!!!"

"Your Highness, fireflies?!"

"Your Highness, why are there so many fireflies in the Eastern Palace?!"

Qianqian tugged at Qingtingyu's arm, leading him on a wild run through the starry sea adorned with fireflies.

"Waaaaah!" Qianqianluo excitedly looked up to the sky and howled like a wolf.

"What are you doing?! Shut up!!" Qing Tingyu covered General Luo's mouth with her hand, speechless at her behavior.

"Ughhhhh~!!"

She was almost suffocating from the Crown Prince's suffocation, so she could only try to pry his hand away.

"I will release you all. You must keep your promise and stop making a fuss!" Qing Tingyu warned Qian Qianluo with a fierce expression.

Qianqian dared not say no, and immediately nodded in agreement to his request.

Qing Tingyu watched as the commoner nodded innocently, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.

"Phew!!! I'm about to suffocate!" After finally being able to breathe, Qianqian bent over, panting heavily for the cool air.

"What are you standing there for?! Let's go!!"

Qing Tingyu tilted her head, gesturing for her to hurry up and follow.

"Yes, Your humble servant obeys!!"

Qianqian replied softly, carefully following the Crown Prince who was not far away.

Their eyes met but their words failed them; they silently supported each other, one after the other, as they traversed the vast sea of ​​stars.

Qianqian looked up at His Highness the Crown Prince in front of her. His Highness's full head of black hair was covered with fireflies.

Fireflies twinkled and clustered on Qing Tingyu's back, turning him into a movable humanoid lantern.

Qianqianlu was practically laughing herself to death. She stared at the little tyrant's shiny head, silently muttering to herself:

That's conspicuous! I'll make sure you're cuckolded someday!!

The two arrived at the gate of Tingyu Palace;

Qing Tingyu paused thoughtfully outside the palace gate;

Meanwhile, Qianqianluo, who was pondering how to dye the Crown Prince's hair green, was still lost in thought with her eyes lowered.

Finally, she bumped headfirst into the Crown Prince's strong and broad back.

"Ouch!!! That hurts so much!"

Qianqian, clutching her sore nose from the impact, couldn't understand why the little tyrant had stopped!

She dared not question him, and could only tuck her tail between her legs and ask, "Your Highness, what happened?!"

"Clean up this filth for me, or I'll take the lives of you lowly commoners!"

Qing Tingyu spoke coldly, ordering Qianqianluo to clean up the swarms of fireflies that were perched on her back.

After hearing the Crown Prince's order, she scratched her head awkwardly.

This means: So, you also knew that there were fireflies on your back?!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!!"

"Yes, yes...!"

"What business do you lowly commoners have?!" Qing Tingyu frowned and turned around impatiently to ask.

"I! Oh no! Can I give this lowly person a net?!"

"The lowly people want to trap fireflies in their webs, and then release them!"

Faced with the oppressive atmosphere of the little tyrant, Qianqian dared not raise her head to make any demands.

She lowered her head and pleaded with His Highness the Crown Prince in a soft, timid voice!

"Humph!!!"

"General Luo is truly an immortal descended to earth!"

"So kind-hearted!!!"
