When the Imperial Concubine was weeping bitterly in Nuoxiang Palace, Li Shuning was teasing the Crown Prince with a little tiger.
Li Shuning still rather liked children. This child was the beloved treasure of the original protagonist, and his tragic end really made one's heart ache.
When the Emperor came to Fengling Palace, he saw Li Shuning playing with the Crown Prince, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He did not announce his arrival. When Li Shuning noticed him, she was startled. Holding the child, she was about to bow, but the Emperor already supported her.
"An'an, no need for formalities. Was the Crown Prince mischievous today?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was very well-behaved."
Li Shuning held the child, but she found the Emperor's gaze somewhat peculiar.
It seemed a bit suspicious, and perhaps a bit surprised. Overall, the gaze was very complex.
