Xie Suzhi said hurriedly, "Ningning, please, tell me."
He would grant her more than just one request. At this point, if Shen Ningning asked for the moon, he would drag his wounded body up to the sky to get it for her.
The little girl's dark eyes were intense. "Please, don't tell my brother about this."
Xie Suzhi froze.
Shen Ningning's long lashes cast a shadow on her porcelain-white skin.
Her voice was dejected. "Being hurt by family... it's a terrible feeling."
"What happened to my brother's mother has already caused him immense pain. I don't want him to hold a grudge against Uncle Emperor as well."
Xie Suzhi frowned, a little worried. "But Ningning, the Emperor is the Crown Prince's father."
"As a father myself, I understand the Emperor's thoughts all too well. What if, when you come of age, the Emperor refuses to be merciful to you for the Crown Prince's sake? What then?"
