"Deyi!" Murong Junsheng strode in with big steps, but saw Empress Deyi gesturing to him with her hand, indicating that he should speak softly, as her anger was about to explode.

"Shh! The child just fell asleep! Your Majesty, let's go outside and talk!" Empress Defei carefully tucked Yangyang in and walked out slowly.

"Empress De, I'm taking this child away!" Murong Junseng said directly and without beating around the bush.

"Your Majesty, can you please tell this humble servant why? Why imprison an innocent child?" Yangyang's situation stirred up her maternal instincts, as if her own child were still alive, they would have grown up like Yangyang, calling her "Mother" tenderly.

"Reckless, are you questioning me?" Murong Junsheng's face darkened, filled with extreme displeasure.

"I dare not! However, I don't understand why Your Majesty has to give a hard time to a child?" Empress De furrowed her brows and brushed her hand, her face expressing a hint of displeasure and complete bafflement.

"Defei, it's not something you, a concubine, should be concerned about!" Murong Junsheng suppressed his anger, and softened his tone, "Let's not quarrel over a bastard child!"

"What does it mean to be a bastard? Could it be that it's the concubines in the palace who have given the emperor the green hat?" Empress De's anger flared, "The child keeps insisting on finding his father. What kind of grudge is it that makes the emperor vent all his anger on the child?"

"What do you mean by venting on the child? Should I hit him or abuse him?" Murong Junsheng instantly couldn't suppress his anger. Empress De's words were clearly accusing him of being cruel.

"Why can't the Emperor give this child to one of his concubines?" Empress De stubbornly refused to yield.

"Consort De, as a concubine, what does it mean to have this illegitimate child in your care? How will others perceive it?" Murong Junsheng was frustrated, unable to comprehend why Consort De, who had always stayed out of such matters, was so persistent about this illegitimate child.

"Humph! When have I ever cared about rumors and gossip? As long as the Emperor agrees, it certainly can't be me who makes the Emperor wear a cuckold's hat!" Murong Junsheng, one after another, called him a bastard, causing Empress De, who usually has a good temper, to couldn't help but mockingly speak out!

"You..." Murong Junsheng finally understood the Empress's attitude, but today, he couldn't let that bastard go.

No longer entangling with Empress De, Murong Junsong's face remained calm as he directly entered the inner hall and picked up Yangyang before leaving.

Wow wow wow wow wow! Flailing their hands and feet, little arms and legs struggling nonstop, at this moment, Yangyang only wants to escape from this frightening embrace.

"Shut up!" Murong Junsheng roared angrily, firmly suppressing Yangyang's little hands and legs.

Ouch! It hurts so much! Yangyang whimpered in fear, his big eyes filled with panic.

"Your Majesty! You've scared the child!" Empress De wanted to step forward to take the child, but she was unable to do so."

Seeing Murong Junsheng about to walk out of the hall, Empress De dropped to her knees with a thud. "Your Majesty, the innocent child, Chenqie does not know about this child's background, nor do I know what grudge you have against this child. Chenqie only knows that the child is still young and doesn't understand anything, with an innocent and pure appearance, which reminds me of Chenqie's little treasure. If Little Treasure were still here, he would surely be as adorable as this child."

Tears swirled in her eyes as she thought about her unfortunate son. Empress Defei struggled to bear the pain, her entire being filled with an aura of sorrow.

Similarly, Murong Junsheng was also feeling uneasy in his heart. This was a perpetual pain in Empress De's heart, but it was also a great sorrow in Murong Junsheng's heart.

A little child, not yet able to crawl on the ground, passed away suddenly due to an unexpected illness, leaving behind a mother who sheds tears day after day.

He let go of her hand and without uttering a single word, Murong Junsheng departed.

"Auntie, Auntie, wake up quickly, the bad man is gone!" As soon as Yangyang gained her freedom, she rushed towards Defei.

"Yanyang!" DeFei exclaimed as she looked at the obvious bruise on Yanyang's little arm, feeling extreme heartache.

"Auntie, it doesn't hurt, it won't hurt once Yangyang falls asleep!" The innocent words and adorable appearance of the child instantly captivated the tender heart of Defei. She had no regrets for what she had done today, and even in countless future memories, she would be immensely grateful for today's decision. Successfully saving Yangyang, she also rescued a loving couple."
