s and threw herself into his embrace.Qianting Xuan held her gently and twirled, their joyful laughter echoing far and wide, infecting everyone who heard it..."Qianting Xuan, it's so beautiful here!" X..."Ge'er, you came just in time. Please go persuade your father, he has been locked himself up in the ancestral hall, refusing to eat or drink. If this continues, something terrible will happen..." As soon as Xiao Yuge arrived, Madam Xiao burst into tears and begged her to persuade her husband.

"Mother, don't worry. It looks like it's about to rain. You should return to your room and rest first. Ge'er will persuade Father." Xiao Yuge knew that Xiaoguier was Xiao Zhan's lifeblood. Now that he thought Xiaoguier was gone, his heart was as dead as ashes.

Under Xiao Yu Ge's persuasion, and with the rain starting to fall, Madam Xiao finally returned to her room.

Xiao Yu Ge sighed, and walked towards the ancestral hall, knocking on the door: "Father, it's me, Ge'er. Can we talk"

Silence hung in the air.

“Father, I know you’re worried about Xiao Guier and the others. Please open the door. I know what happened to them.” Though she really didn’t want to tell him where Xiao Guier and the others were, in this situation, if she didn't reveal some truth, she was afraid Xiao Zhan would lock her up in the ancestral hall until she died.

As expected, the moment she spoke, Xiao Zhan flung open the door and anxiously asked, “Ge’er, what did you just say Did you say that you know where Xiao Gui'er and the others are”

Xiao Yu Ge nodded, and helped him back into the ancestral hall to sit down.

"Father, I know that Plum Blossom Villa is gone, but please rest assured, Master Shen and Young Miss are unharmed..."

"Song'er, then tell father, where are they Where are they" At this time, Xiao Zhan had lost his usual dignity, and the whole person was haggard.

"Father, I can only tell you they are in a very safe place. The Meihua Villa was burned down. It's obvious that someone did it on purpose. Someone didn't want people to know about the existence of Master Shen and his family. If you bring them back at this time, first don't say whether my mother would agree or not. Even if she did, do you think your political enemies on the court would let go of this opportunity to pull you down At that time, the entire Xiangfu would cease to exist, and Master Shen and his family would bear the criticism of others for a lifetime. Perhaps Master Shen is not afraid, but what about Xiao Guier He's still so young. If he is ostracized from a young age, wouldn't his life be pitiful"

Xiao Zhan listened silently, every word of Ge'er touching his heart. He felt a pang of guilt. He had lived for decades but was no match for this teenage girl's understanding.

Xiao Yu's song saw that he did not speak, knowing that his heart was already in motion, and continued to say: "Father, Xiao Guier is your biological son, and also the blood of the Xiao family. He will one day return to his ancestors, but now is not the time. Everything has to wait until the situation stabilizes before there is a chance."

Her words made Xiao Zhan suddenly understand. The current court situation was unstable, and the position of the Crown Prince was not secure. Prince Xian's sharp edge was evident, his momentum was strong, and he had gained the emperor's favor and trust. It was uncertain who would control the country in the future. If he made any more mistakes at this time, the forces loyal to the Crown Prince would probably...

At this point, he suddenly remembered something, his heart skipped a beat: could it be that the reason the Plum Blossom mother and son were being hunted down was because...

A chill ran down his spine, and he didn't dare to think any further.

Xiao Yuge seemed to have seen through his father's worries, and so she again advised: "Father, please rest assured, my friends happened to save Master Shen and Young Miss that day, and then arranged them in a very safe place, no one would be able to find it. When you feel the time is right to take them back, I will have my friends personally deliver them. Before that, my friends will definitely treat them well and won't let them suffer any grievance."

Hearing that Shen Mei Hua and her son were safe and sound, Xiao Zhan let out a long sigh of relief. He also felt guilty for slapping Ge'er the day before: "Ge'er, Father shouldn't have doubted you. It was all Father's fault..."

“Father, it was you and mother who raised me. I owe you both a great debt of gratitude. I will never do anything to disappoint you.” If not for this, she would have killed Xiao Yufu hundreds of times over for what she had done to her.

"Good child, good child..." Xiao Zhan gently stroked her head, tears welling in his eyes. Thinking of their daughter Fu'er, who had renounced them for wealth and fame, he felt a pang of heartache. If they could choose, they would much rather have Ge'er as their biological daughter.

"Father, tomorrow is Your Majesty's birthday. My sister and I are going to dance for His Majesty, so I'm leaving now." Xiao Zhan coaxed her out of the ancestral hall. Xiao Yuge didn't waste a moment and was about to leave the mansion.

"Ge'er, it's raining so hard outside, how will you get back" Xiao Zhan still cared about her.

Even Mrs. Xiao came to stop her: "Ge'er, if you have to go back, wait until the rain stops. Going back in the rain like this, what if you get sick"

"It's fine, Your Highness should already be waiting for me at the door." She believed Qian Tingxuan must have been waiting there already.

“Ge'er, and the King... are you both alright” As a woman, Madam Xiao could feel that Qian Tingxuan was sincere towards Ge'er. She also hoped Ge'er could be happy, but the Emperor and the others clearly wanted to keep them apart. Every time they tried to interfere, she felt heartbroken for the two children.

Xiao Yu Ge turned her head and smiled, a thought sparked in her mind, she said: “Father, Mother, perhaps before long, you will have a little grandson!” Perhaps only by letting Father and Mother believe that she was pregnant would everyone else believe it too.

"Song'er, you, you mean this is true" Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Zhan looked at each other in disbelief.

Xiao Yu's song blushed and nodded shyly: "When I entered the palace this morning, Your Majesty even had Li Taiyi check my pulse to confirm."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Madam Xiao couldn't help but weep with joy.

"Alright, Mother, this is good news. Don't cry. The Prince is already waiting for me outside. I have to go now."

"Alright, be careful. Tell the carriage driver to slow down, don't bump around too much!" Mrs. Xiao reminded anxiously in a loud voice.

"Understood, Mother."

Mrs. Xiao watched her leave and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "All that talk outside before, I really thought the King... Now it's good, she has a child now, what a blessing! It's really good!"

Although the King's appearance has been ruined, his feelings for Ge'er are evident to us all. As long as they are happy, we bless them. After all that has happened, Xiao Zhan has finally let go of his prejudice against the King and accepts them.

In the carriage, Qian Tingxuan looked puzzled and asked, "I just heard Madam Xiao instructing inside so loudly. What did you tell them"

Xiao Yu sang a mischievous smile: "I told them that they would soon have a little grandson. Only they believe I'm pregnant, and others will believe it even more!" Anyway, this wouldn't come true. By then, he should have already thought about his next move, so lying was harmless. all the assassins!"Bring them back for severe torture. This time, we must find out who is behind this!" Qian Si Chen ordered.“Yes!” Just as Ling Tian was leading the captured assassins toward the Imp...
