By the time they returned, the sky was already dark.
Wen Nianruan was restless in Fuhua Palace, frowning a little impatiently. During this period, he asked Qiubai and Yushuang to inquire several times, but there was no news.
Xiao Jinran kept quiet about Xiao Xixi's disappearance, so few people knew about it.
Qiu Bai came back from the last inquiry, with a happy face: "Mother, Princess Yuhan and the others are back."
Wen Nianruan stood up in a hurry and knocked over the tea cup next to him, "How is the situation? Are you injured?"
Qiu Bai straightened the tea cup and wiped the spilled tea, "Don't worry, Madam, they are all safe and sound, no one was hurt."
Wen Nian's heart was relieved, and he turned to Yushuang and said, "Bring over the leftover cream from last night, and I will make a birthday cake for Xixi."
The one last night had been left out for a day and a night and was no longer tasty, so she had to make it again.
There is still cream left, so I asked Grandma Zhang to make another cake for the bottom.
When Xiao Yi and his party returned to the palace, they did not disturb anyone. Xiao Yi took Xiao Xixi back to Yueyao Palace, and Feng Jinyan followed.
Xiao Yihan went to find Xiao Jinran to revive him.
In the imperial study room, Xiao Jinran asked: "Do you know who the person who kidnapped Xixi is?"
Xiao Yihan shook his head: "I know nothing about that person's identity, and I have never seen him before. However," after a pause, he frowned: "Xiao Yi seems to know him."
Xiao Jinran's expression became serious as he thought about the identity of that person.
He waved his hand and asked Xiao Yihan to retreat first: "You should go back and rest first. It's been a hard day for you. I'll ask Xiao Yi about this later."
"Your Majesty." Xiao Yihan pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Xiao Jinran raised his eyes: "What else do you want?"
He has a very close blood relationship with Xiao Jinran, so his mind-reading skills are of no use to him, and he cannot read what he is thinking.
Xiao Yihan pondered: "About the Imperial Master and Ling Zhao"
At this time, Eunuch Fang suddenly said at the door: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is here."
Xiao Jinran replied: "Let him come in."
Xiao Yihan's eyes darkened quietly.
Xiao Jinran looked back at him: "What did you want to say just now?"
Xiao Yihan lowered his eyes: "I just suddenly forgot about it. I will tell the emperor when I remember it next time. I will retire first."
When he turned around and walked to the door, he rubbed shoulders with Yun Chenan. Yun Chenan nodded to him as a greeting. He looked at Yun Chenan deeply and left without saying anything.
Xiao Jinran said hurriedly: "Zishu, King Xuan just said that the person who kidnapped Xixi is known to Xiao Yi."
"Well, it's the person from the Divine Realm who sneaked into the palace last time, Yu Hanyao." Yun Chen answered.
Xiao Jinran snorted coldly: "He is indeed a member of the Yaori family! Don't think about it, Yu Hanyao kidnapped Xixi and led you and Xiao Yi there just to get rid of you, and then get rid of me."
No matter what, the ultimate goal is him.
It seemed that those people were already eager to get rid of him.
He asked again: "How is Yu Hanyao doing now?"
Yun Chen'an said: "Xiao Yi said that he could have been killed, but he was rescued midway."
"By whom?"
Yun Chenan shook his head: "I didn't see clearly. He has very high skills. He should be an elder from the Yaori family."
These are what Xiao Yi said in the conversation with him just now.
During the fight with Yu Hanyao last night, Xiao Yi suddenly woke up. Xiao Yi took over what happened next, and he had no memory of it.
Just after returning to Yueyao Palace, he woke up and asked Xiao Yi what happened.
"One more thing," Yun Chenan frowned and looked at Xiao Jinran: "The child in Concubine Jia's belly may be Yu Hanyao's. Xiao Yi has found out before that Yu Hanyao was in collusion with the Queen Mother and was related to Concubine Jia's.
He had always known that the child in Wen Ruchu's belly was not his, but he never expected that it would be Yu Hanyao's.
Yun Chenan didn't know about this at first, Wen Nianruan told him, and he never told Xiao Jinran because he was not sure whether Wen Ruchu's child was Yu Hanyao's, and now he is basically sure that it is him.
Yes.
Yun Chenan added: "Your Majesty, please don't touch Concubine Jia right now. She is still useful if you keep her. We will use her to 'lead the snake out of its hole' in the future."
During this period, Yu Hanyao definitely didn't dare to come out again. Maybe Wen Ruchu could be used to lure him out.
Xiao Jinran nodded, thinking this method was feasible.
After Wen Nianruan made the birthday cake, he asked Qiu Bai to call Xiao Xixi over.
When Xiao Xixi saw this birthday cake, it was very novel. It was the first time in her life that she asked, "Sister Wen, what is this?"
She kept looking at it curiously. It smelled very sweet and she didn't know if she could eat it. After all, she had never eaten it before.
"This is called a 'birthday cake.' It's a cake you eat on your birthday, and it's also my birthday gift to you," Wen Nianruan said with a smile.
Birthday cake, Xiao Xixi silently recited this novel name in her heart.
Wen Nianruan decorated the cake with a flower shape. It looked very beautiful and had the words "Happy Birthday Xixi" written on it. She also specially found fourteen candles to put on it.
Now that the birthday cake has been made, it must be arranged more exquisitely.
Wen Nianruan lit the candle and then taught Xiao Xixi how to make a wish by closing her eyes.
Qiu Bai and Yu Shuang were singing the "Happy Birthday Song" Wen Nianruan taught them.
After making the wish, Wen Nianruan asked Xiao Xixi to finish blowing out the candles.
After completing these rituals, Xiao Xixi felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Anyway, she was very happy.
This is her favorite birthday in the past fourteen years.
Wen Nianruan cut the cake and let Xiao Xixi take a bite first. She looked at Xiao Xixi expectantly: "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, yeah." Xiao Xixi nodded suddenly, so cute.
She couldn't describe the taste. It was very sweet and fragrant, but it was delicious anyway.
Wen Nianruan knew that children generally liked to eat this kind of milky-flavored food, and she also thought Xiao Xixi would like it.
"Sister Wen, I like this birthday gift very much."
"As long as you like it. If you want to eat it, I can make it for you when I have time."
Wen Nianruan also cut a piece for Qiu Bai and Yu Shuang, knowing that these two girls had been craving for it all day.
The two of them took a bite, and their eyes were filled with stars because of how delicious it was. They were so excited that they jumped up and down.
Qiu Bai was moved to tears: "My dearest lady, I will never despise you for your lack of skills anymore."
Yushuang also reflected on herself: "I will never call you a 'waste queen' again."
"." Wen Nianruan was speechless and choked.
In a blink of an eye, Wen Nianruan noticed that Xiao Xixi was wearing a gold hairpin on her head. She was curious: "Xixi, who gave you that gold hairpin?"
Xiao Xixi blinked and then remembered: "Uncle Feng gave it to me."
She took it off and showed it to Wen Nianruan.
As soon as Wen Nianruan saw the gold hairpin, she knew it was worth a lot. She clicked her tongue twice, but she didn't expect that Feng Cai Mi could still be so generous.
Xiao Xixi said: "Uncle Feng said that after I take over this golden hairpin, I must marry him and I can't regret it in the future."
Wen Nianruan raised his eyes and was startled: "You agreed?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "I took off my clothes and showed him, I must marry him."
