Chapter 435: Chapter 393: Heartache to Death, Susu Cries Sadly, The Man in Black Climbs in Through the Window at Midnight_2

Susu cuddled Xuetuan, her tiny chubby hand clutching at Xuetuan’s tail, refusing to let go. Her light eyebrows were knitted, pouting in distress as if she would cry at any moment.

Taotao was pinching Xuetuan’s little paw.

Xuetuan was lying there, at the mercy of the two little tormentors, not daring to move a muscle!

"Imperial Grandson and Imperial Granddaughter, it is time to rest."

The wet nurses took turns coaxing, but it was in vain.

Susu kept her shining eyes fixated on the outside, seemingly waiting for something.

As time passed, Susu could no longer hold it in. Her mouth quivered, and she started crying, looking incredibly aggrieved.

As Susu cried, her brother also began to cry.

The wet nurses saw this and were so heartbroken that each picked up a child and began to soothe them.

Susu’s cries of distress did not cease, but instead, she cried more piteously.

The wet nurses had never seen Susu cry so aggrievedly before.

They immediately sent a little rabbit to the next room to find the Crown Princess.

Although Xiao Jinyan was drunk, it didn’t affect his performance at all.

At this moment, he was in high spirits when suddenly there came a knock at the door.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, the Imperial Grandson and Granddaughter have been crying nonstop." Chun Xi would not have knocked at this hour and disturbed Your Highness and the Crown Princess if it hadn’t been absolutely necessary.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei looked at the man on top of her, "Jinyan..."

At this moment, neither of them could extricate themselves.

Xiao Jinyan replied with an unsteady breath, "Let the wet nurses soothe them. It’s time for bed now."

"But the wet nurses say that the Imperial Grandson and Granddaughter cannot be consoled, and they probably miss the Crown Princess and Your Highness," Chun Xi insisted.

After hearing this, Shen Chuwei, even if she could not extricate herself, wanted to go and see the babies. She had missed them all day long.

"Jinyan, shall we go have a look?"

Xiao Jinyan was a bit frustrated, "At this hour, we just leave by pulling away?"

Shen Chuwei wrapped her arms around Xiao Jinyan’s neck, lifted her head, and kissed his lips, "But the babies are crying."

"What past life’s little lovers, they are clearly here to make a mess," Xiao Jinyan said helplessly as he got out of bed and began to dress.

Shen Chuwei hugged him from behind, "The babies are still young; they don’t understand anything. Not having seen us the whole day, they must miss us. Susu is probably feeling extremely aggrieved."

After calming his gloomy mood, Xiao Jinyan said gently, "I know, come and dress."

"Mhm," Shen Chuwei happily got out of bed and then began to dress.

When the two arrived at the adjacent Hehuan Hall, even before entering the Side Hall, they heard the babies’ crying.

Shen Chuwei let go of Xiao Jinyan’s hand and ran quickly inside.

Xiao Jinyan looked down at his empty hand, thinking that these two little ones clearly came to steal his wife’s affection.

"Crown Princess, the babies have cried so wretchedly, our hearts are breaking," the wet nurse lamented as she saw Shen Chuwei come in.

"Let me hold them," Shen Chuwei took Susu from the wet nurse’s arms.

Babies are magical creatures. Even though Susu hadn’t seen Shen Chuwei’s face yet, the moment Shen Chuwei held her close, she immediately stopped crying, leaving only soft sobbing sounds that sounded especially pitiful.

Shen Chuwei soothed her daughter tenderly, "Susu, be good, shall we sleep now?"

When Xiao Jinyan arrived, he took Taotao into his arms, and just as her sister stopped crying, another miraculous scene occurred, Taotao also stopped crying.

This is probably the telepathy between boy and girl twins, able to feel each other’s emotions.

Susu stared at Shen Chuwei’s face, hiccupped twice, and then suddenly beamed a smile, her eyes still brimming with tears, looking innocent and adorable.

When Shen Chuwei saw this, her heart melted with tenderness.

"Susu is too endearing. Let’s sleep," she cooed.

Holding Taotao, Xiao Jinyan watched the scene in Shen Chuwei’s arms. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but smile as well.

It took a while to soothe the babies before they finally fell asleep peacefully.

Shen Chuwei handled Susu gently and cautiously as she placed her in the crib, being very careful.

Because children are very clever, even with their eyes closed, the moment you put them in bed, they would suddenly open their eyes wide and look at you.

Perhaps because she hadn’t seen Shen Chuwei all day, Susu felt very insecure. As soon as she was placed on the bed, she opened her eyes and stared unblinkingly at Shen Chuwei, as if it wasn’t her who had just closed her eyes to sleep.

Shen Chuwei smiled softly, "Susu, be good, let’s sleep now."

After coaxing her repeatedly, finally, on the last attempt, Susu landed safely in bed.

Taotao was easier to soothe, falling asleep after being put in bed twice.

Once the babies were asleep, Xiao Jinyan led Shen Chuwei back to the Bedchamber, as today was a special day, and they were, of course, to spend the whole night in the bridal chamber.

But by now, they had completely lost the mood.

Xiao Jinyan cuddled Shen Chuwei while lying on the large red bed. The only pity was that he could not, like his father the Emperor, have taken Little Nine as the Crown Princess right from the start.

"Little Nine, are you happy?"

Xiao Jinyan waited a while for an answer, but not getting one, he looked down and found her asleep.

He leaned down to kiss her forehead and then closed his eyes to sleep.

In the still of the night

Concubine Xu, overjoyed tonight, had drunk quite a bit. With her poor tolerance, her drunken demeanor was very average. Cai Xia spent a lot of effort to persuade her to go to bed and rest.

Half in dreams and half awake, Concubine Xu felt an intense thirst and lifted the bed curtain with one hand, muttering softly.

"Cai Xia, bring me a cup of tea."

At this moment, Cai Xia was sleeping soundly outside the door and did not hear Concubine Xu calling her.

The man in black sitting on the rooftop, due to his martial arts training, had a hearing far superior to ordinary people, and he heard Concubine Xu calling for tea.

At first, he didn’t care because the maids were supposed to serve her.

However, Concubine Xu called out for a long time without receiving any response.

Hesitating for a moment, the man in black climbed through the window.

The man in black had come to the East Palace because he learned that Lady Shen had been made the Crown Princess that day.

Whichever side couple the babies like, you can tell me in the comments section. The one with the most comments will be featured more in the main story.
