Consort Lu watched from the side with a gentle smile, looking at the two children in a daze.
Back then, if it wasn’t for Gu Nuo’er, her Shen’er probably wouldn’t have had the chance to be born.
At this moment, a furious bellow came from the door—
“Princess Yaoguang, you actually treat my son as a dog to play with?!”
Ling Tianyin’s angry shout shocked everyone present.
Ling Shen was the first to break out in a wail.
“Father is scary.” He was so frightened that he hid behind Gu Nuo’er and grabbed her sleeve tightly.
Consort Lu hurriedly stood up and walked over to pick Ling Shen up.
When Ling Tianyin saw his precious son crying, he panicked.
He quickly went forward, wanting to coax him.
Unexpectedly, Ling Shen waved his hand and buried his head in Consort Lu’s shoulder.
He wailed, “I don’t want Father! Father is fierce!”
Consort Lu’s usually gentle gaze was also filled with reproach.
“Your Majesty, why are you… Sigh.”
Ling Tianyin also knew that he had done something wrong just now.
He was just too angry.
He saw Gu Nuo’er tied the meatball to a stick and teased her son to eat it.
It was as if she was teasing a puppy!
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er spoke like an adult.
“Emperor Ling, you’re too insensible! Why do you dare to lose your temper when there are children present?
“After I was born, as long as I was present, Father didn’t even scold anyone.
“No matter how much he wants to kill someone, he would act amiable at the moment and secretly kill them behind my back!”
Ling Tianyin lowered his head to take a look.
Gu Nuo’er’s big eyes sparkled and her pink lips pouted unhappily.
Ling Tianyin felt that his lungs were about to explode from anger.
How could this little girl call him Emperor Ling?!
What kind of address was this?
Moreover, she was clearly the one in the wrong, but she still scolded him?
Ling Tianyin gritted his teeth. “I don’t care what Gu Yihan does. You were wrong to treat my son like that just now!
“Tying meat to a stick is an act of teasing a dog. Ling Shen is my favorite son. Who allowed you to be so disrespectful to him?!”
Gu Nuo’er immediately puffed up her pink cheeks and glared at him angrily.
“Emperor Ling, you’re a complete bad person. I’m going to ignore you!”
She twisted her small body and sat at the side to drink tea.
From time to time, her watery eyes would shoot daggers at Ling Tianyin.
She wasn’t big, but her aura was quite strong.
Ling Tianyin suddenly felt caught between laughter and tears.
She was the one who did something wrong first!
Why did he become the bad person instead?
Consort Lu hurriedly said, “His Majesty, you’ve really misunderstood Nuo’er.
“You know that Shen’er has always not been eating properly. He’s only been drinking water for the past few days and hasn’t eaten anything.
“Your consort was the one who asked Nuo’er to help think of a way. If she hadn’t played with Shen’er, Shen’er wouldn’t have eaten a single bite.
“Just now, before you came, Shen’er had already eaten a bowl of meat soup. He’s much energetic now.”
Ling Tianyin was stunned.
Ling Shen hadn’t eaten much since a month ago.
His appet.i.te was low. Even if he wanted to eat when he saw food, he would always throw up after eating.
His countenance was looking worse by the day.
The imperial physicians prescribed many appetizing and spleen-strengthening medicines, but they were useless.
Consort Lu and Ling Tianyin had a headache because of this.
This included today. Consort Lu had left the palace because she had heard that there were remedies among the commoners that could treat children’s lack of appet.i.te.
This problem made the couple feel troubled.
However, it was actually resolved by his archenemy’s daughter?
Ling Shen stopped wailing loudly and was sobbing softly.
He glanced at Ling Tianyin from time to time.
“I won’t talk to Father anymore.”
