Chapter 220.2
As for their further speculations, it was considered taboo to even discuss them. They attempted it once more, but the feeling of their souls shattering was terrifying. It seemed forbidden, something they couldn’t violate, so they had to abandon it. They noticed the chaos outside and the only one who could come out, Emperor Jin’an with the graying hair, woke up.
Although the original owner hadn’t emerged, he continued to chatter incessantly in Emperor Jin’an’s mind, from staying away from her to not touching her, and so on. Young Emperor Jin’an seemed to realize that this situation was incredibly strange, and he didn’t have much confidence that he would be able to come out in the near future, so he abandoned his previous veiled approach and openly warned against his affection for Yaoniang.
Although he felt an unusual closeness to the other self, he still refrained from getting close to him.
After some comforting, Yaoniang finally stopped crying and noticed her children standing nearby. She felt embarrassed and hastily asked the children to talk to Emperor Jin’an, then retreated to the bathhouse.
“Father Emperor, it’s good that you’re okay,” Xiaobao said. After the initial panic, the reassurance that everything was fine, and seeing Yaoniang crying like that, he didn’t feel like expressing his worries anymore.
On the other hand, Sibao’s eyes welled up with tears. While Xiaobao spoke, she threw herself onto the bed, saying, “Father Emperor, you scared Xiao Si’er…”
So Emperor Jin’an, following the guidance of the voice in his head, awkwardly consoled his youngest daughter.
After comforting them all, Emperor Jin’an finally focused his attention on Xiaobao.
His gaze was complex, as his biggest hope in his previous life was for the Crown Prince to be healthy. Now, with this healthy child standing before him, just as outstanding as he had imagined, he felt somewhat at a loss.
