"I'm sorry, mother. I know I was a little impulsive..." Shen Shuli immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "But now that things have come to this, it's too late to regret."

There was no way she could give the person back.

Gao Linglong saw Madam Shen scolding the child in front of so many people and quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Sister Yuehua, I think what A'li did was right. With these two children in our hands, the new emperor will have to think twice if he wants to do something to us. After all, they are his eldest son and daughter."

"Besides, these two children are in our hands. Can we really treat them badly? They may even be taken care of better than when they were with their biological parents."

Xie Chengyuan's mother also received her son's distress signal, and smiled and said, "Sister Linglong is right, Sister Yuehua, A'li did this for our own good, we should be grateful to A'li."

Shen Yuehua didn’t expect that Madam Xie and Madam Mu would be so supportive of their daughter’s decision.

I felt a little relieved.

She was reluctant to reprimand her daughter, but she was also worried that the three families were dissatisfied with her daughter's behavior.

She will speak out on her own initiative.

...

...

Otherwise, if the three families were the first to accuse her, my daughter would only be more embarrassed.

"Sister Mengqi, Sister Linglong, I think you are just spoiling this child too much, otherwise she wouldn't be so lawless and do things without considering the consequences. Children are not so easy to raise. This is just causing trouble for everyone..." Shen Yuehua said helplessly.

The Empress Dowager also stood up and spoke at this time.

She smiled and said, "It's not a problem, not a problem at all. I'm an old woman and I'm bored all day long. Just leave the child here and take care of him."

Xiao Yuxuan felt relieved when she saw that her grandmother agreed to keep the child.

But he certainly wouldn't let his grandmother raise these two children forever, so he quickly said, "Grandma, I think it's better for everyone to raise these children together. After all, their parents have a blood feud with us, and they will definitely have feelings for us after raising them for a long time, which will be difficult to resolve in the future."

Xie Chengyuan quickly took over and said, "Prince Xuan is right. Why don't we four families take turns to raise the baby, one family for a month. What do you think?"

The Queen Mother was not happy with the decision at first.

No matter what, this is the bloodline of the Xiao family after all.

Besides, the Xiao family can afford to support him.

But considering the scenarios she would face in the future, she did not insist on her tough attitude.

"Forget it, I'll do as you say, but I'll take care of you for the first month." The Empress Dowager finally gave in.

Xiao Yuxuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter was settled.

Shen Yuehua quickly smiled and said, “I have a lot of useful newborn supplies at home. You can send someone to my house to get them, so you don’t have to bother preparing them.”

The four families certainly cannot share the same baby products, each family must prepare their own.

But if you change baby products too frequently, the baby will not be used to it and will probably make a fuss.

It is best to prepare four copies of the same thing.

Naturally, the Xiao family, the Xie family, and the Mu family all responded.

Several of their families have seen the things that Shen Yuehua gave to her granddaughter.

It is said that those things were all gifts from immortals.

The things that the immortals rewarded them must be better than anything they had used or seen before, and they had all seen them.

Diapers, wet diapers, various clothes, baby bottles, milk powder, etc. are all extremely useful.

It’s also super convenient.

At least I don't have to wash diapers every day.

Shen Shuli had already prepared the things in advance and placed them at Su's house.

The rest of the incidents did not require Shen Shuli and the other three to intervene.

The four elders will make proper arrangements.

The four of them left the island again by helicopter.

"Oh, Ah Li, I suddenly remembered that I have an uncle who should still be alive. He used to be a vassal king in the southern border."

"I don't know what to do now. Why don't we go over there and take a look. If they need help, please leave some supplies for them."

Xiao Yuxuan said suddenly.

He suddenly remembered it today.

His father has a second brother, who is ranked fourth among all the princes of the same generation and is also his fourth uncle, whose fief is in the southern border.

Shen Shuli looked at Xiao Yuxuan strangely, and said, "What a good nephew you are. You haven't even thought of your uncle for such a long time."

Xiao Yuxuan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

The main reason is that the original owner of this body had little contact with the Fourth Prince.

The original owner had lived in the capital since childhood.

Not long after the Fourth Prince came of age, he was transferred from the capital to the southern border to serve as a vassal king.

For nearly twenty years, the uncle and nephew met very rarely.

After Xiao Yuxuan traveled through time, he had been busy fleeing the famine and had long forgotten about his fourth uncle.

It was only when I saw Xiao Yuqi today that I remembered the hatred of my father's generation, and also thought of the Fourth Uncle.

This can’t be blamed on Xiao Yuxuan.

Even the Empress Dowager Lan Zhaoyi, as a mother, had never mentioned her second son in front of her grandson for such a long time.

She must miss her son often.

But she couldn't add burden to her grandson, so even though she missed her only son who might still be alive, she never mentioned him.

Xiao Yuxuan could understand her grandmother after thinking about it from her grandmother's perspective.

But now he remembered it.

He couldn't just pretend nothing happened. Even for his grandmother, he had to go and see how his fourth uncle was doing.

Shen Shuli naturally had no choice but to respond.

It won’t take too long anyway.

The southern border is not far from Lihai City.

The helicopter arrived at the southern border in just one hour.

"Do you know where your fourth uncle is? Xie Chengyuan and I have been here before. We only collected resources in the mountains but didn't take a close look around." Shen Shuli asked Xiao Yuxuan.

Xiao Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, "I only know that the Fourth Prince's palace is in Bizhou Prefecture."

"But I don't know where he is now."

The natural disaster lasted for such a long time.

If Bizhou Prefecture cannot survive, the Fourth Prince will definitely find a way to survive.

Fortunately, the mountains in the southern territory are rich in resources, and we should be able to find some supplies in the mountains.

Xie Chengyuan knew the exact location of Bizhou Prefecture. Under his guidance, Xiao Yuxuan quickly arrived above Bizhou Prefecture.

Bizhou Prefecture is the richest prefecture in the south.

At this moment, there are still many people living in Bizhou Prefecture.

Look down.

Many people can be seen clearing the snow from houses and streets in the city.

"Do you want to go down and ask?" Xie Chengyuan looked at Xiao Yuxuan and asked.

"good."

Xiao Yuxuan naturally wanted to find out some information, otherwise he couldn't just search for his Fourth Uncle like a headless fly.

Bizhou Prefecture needs to clear the snow, so the city gates are open.

It is convenient for people to transport snow out.

Shen Shuli and three others disguised themselves as ordinary people, each holding a shovel in their hands, and followed the people in the city and successfully blended into the city.

Bizhou Prefecture is very big.

It is almost the same as Qingzhou Prefecture.

In peacetime, there are about 800,000 people in the city.

But after the disaster, only one-fifth of the city's population is left.

The city seemed very empty and lonely.

The blizzard is still falling heavily.

Shen Shuli and the other three asked about the location of the palace along the way.

It is easy to find out the location of the palace.

The four of them soon arrived outside the palace.

There are soldiers guarding outside the palace gate, so I guess the Fourth Prince should still be here.

Xiao Yuxuan was a little excited.

The original owner's family situation was similar to his modern home.

But the context is very different.

Although the Xiao family is a descendant of the royal family in China, it has been many generations and the bloodline has long been extremely weak.

Therefore, the Xiao family still has some roots in China.

His grandparents are still alive.

My grandfather still holds the title of founding general, and my grandmother’s grandfather was the deputy prime minister during the founding period of the new country.

Therefore, the Xiao family's status in China is absolutely noble.

His father is also the third child in the Xiao family, with two older brothers.

Moreover, the three brothers get along very well with almost no conflicts.

Xiao Yuxuan's uncle Xiao Chong is a senior cabinet official and is definitely one of the most important leaders in the country.

My second uncle Xiao Yan was a powerful general in central China.

His father, Xiao Lie, chose to go into business.

Xiao Yuxuan needs to inherit his father's business empire.

What a pity.

The huge Xiao family.

Only Xiao Yuxuan came through.

None of the other members of the modern Xiao family came.

Otherwise, Xiao Yuxuan would not continue to regard other members of the Xiao family of this era as enemies.

At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan was somewhat unsure about the character of the Fourth Prince and his attitude towards him.

It is still unclear whether they are friend or foe.

You have to try it out before making a decision.

When the guards saw people approaching Prince Yan's Palace, they immediately stopped them with their guns and shouted, "Stop! Get back quickly! Don't get close to Prince Yan's Palace!"

Xiao Yuxuan handed his King Xuan token to the guard and said, "Excuse me, is King Yan in the mansion?"

The soldiers had never seen these four people before and did not think that their prince would know them, so they immediately shouted to drive them away again.

"Who are you? You can see King Yan whenever you want! You'd better leave now, or we will arrest you all!"

Xiao Yuxuan didn't expect that the Fourth Prince's men would be so arrogant.

See the big picture from the small.

Maybe the Fourth Prince himself has such an arrogant and cruel personality, which is why these soldiers behave like this.

But he did not back down. He took out the token from his waist and handed it to the other party, saying in a calm tone: "I am the nephew of King Yan. This is my token. King Yan will know it at a glance. Please inform him. We have something important to see King Yan about."

The soldiers didn't expect that this man was actually King Yan's nephew.

But he had never heard that King Yan had any nephew.

Although he did not recognize the token in his hand, he knew at a glance that it had an extraordinary origin.

If he is really the prince's nephew, then he would not dare to neglect him.

"Please wait a moment. I will go in and report. However, our prince has a distinguished guest today and may not meet me. You must be mentally prepared." After saying that, the soldier ran in with the token.

Xiao Yuxuan didn't expect that the Fourth Prince's uncle would have a distinguished guest visiting today.

He turned to look at his three companions, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you feel?"

Although Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun had read this novel, the novel did not describe this King Yan in much detail.

Therefore, the two of them did not understand the character of King Yan.

But we can get a glimpse of this from the guards' style of doing things.

Shen Shuli couldn't help but remind him: "Perhaps, your fourth uncle is not that simple, so it's better to be careful."

Xie Chengyuan also nodded and said, "I also have property here. I heard that King Yan is overbearing and ruthless. As for what he thinks of your nephew, I don't know yet."

Mu Wanjun looked at Xiao Yuxuan with some concern and said, "Why don't we not look for him? If he has any bad intentions towards you, we may not be able to escape from him."

Seeing that her bestie was really worried, Shen Shuli patted her hands and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you.”

"If the situation is not right, I will immediately put you into the Qiankun bag and then find a way to escape. I am confident that I can escape by myself."

Shen Shuli still has some confidence.

Xie Chengyuan's face changed slightly. He strode to Shen Shuli, held her shoulders with both hands, and said solemnly: "If something goes wrong later, don't put me away. I am the best at Qinggong. I can take you away."

Shen Shuli saw that Xie Chengyuan's face was full of worry, so she thought about it and agreed.

Her lightness skill is indeed not as good as Xie Chengyuan's.

With Xie Chengyuan here, we will be more confident.

"Okay." Shen Shuli smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Mu Wanjun and Xiao Yuxuan and said, "But you two should stop making trouble and just lie down together in there."

"Otherwise, the three of us will be too big a target, and the other side will easily hurt us."

Xiao Yuxuan originally wanted to say that his martial arts skills were not bad compared to Xie Chengyuan's.

How could he admit that he was not as good as other men in front of the person he liked!

But since Shen Shuli had already said so, he could only agree helplessly: "Okay, let's do as you say."

soon.

The soldiers hurried out.

He came in front of the four people, and his attitude was much more respectful than before.

He placed the token in front of Xiao Yuxuan with both hands and said respectfully: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, the prince invites you, please follow me."

Xiao Yuxuan took the token and put it away, then silently glanced at his three companions around him, asking them to be more alert.

Then he followed the soldiers into the gate of Prince Yan's Palace.

Inside the mansion.

Even though the blizzard is still falling.

There were servants in the yard clearing the snow from the ground.

So there wasn't much snow on the trail and it didn't affect walking at all.

As Shen Shuli and the other three walked along the way, they secretly observed the layout of the palace and the military deployment.

Clearly visible.

The guarding in the palace is extremely tight.

Even the servants were very well-behaved and cautious. They didn't dare to look up at other people, let alone talk to others.

The atmosphere was very solemn.

The rules are so strict.

It can be seen that the master of the mansion must be a person who attaches great importance to rules, and the punishment must be extremely severe, so the servants dare not relax at all.

The soldier led the four people directly to the front hall of the main courtyard.

Xiao Yuxuan stood at the door and was about to step in when he noticed that the Fourth Prince's guest had not left yet.

He stopped and looked at the soldier leading the way beside him with an inquiring look.

Is he sure they can go in now?

Before the soldier could explain.

Prince Yan had already seen the people at the door. He immediately stood up and walked over to them, looking at his nephew.

"Ah Xuan, you are here, come in and sit down."

Prince Yan had a stern face and a cold tone, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a very easy person to get along with.

Xiao Yuxuan had no choice but to lead his men in, and then performed the standard junior’s salute to the Fourth Uncle.

"My nephew has met the Fourth Uncle."

Xiao Yan nodded and extended his hand to support them: "No need to be polite. Who are these three?"

Xiao Yuxuan immediately introduced the three people around him to him.

"Fourth Uncle, these three are my best friends."

"This is Prince Mu's daughter, Mu Wanjun, Princess Anrong. Her grandmother and my grandmother are sisters."

"This is the son of the General Zhenbei, Xie Chengyuan, the Crown Prince."

Xiao Yuxuan finally looked at Shen Shuli and introduced her: "This is a good friend of mine from the folks, Shen Shuli. Her father was the first in the last case."

At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into an imperceptible arc.

His expression remained unchanged as he greeted them, "Well, nice to meet you three young friends. You don't have to be polite. When you come here, just treat it as your own home. Please take a seat."

"Someone, bring some good tea!"

Xiao Yan pointed to the empty seat on the left, indicating that they should sit there.

In this era.

The seating is extremely particular.

The seat to the left of the host is the host's seat, where the host accompanies guests.

The seats on the right are where guests sit.

The fact that Xiao Yan directly asked Xiao Yuxuan and the other three to sit in the guest seats on the left shows that he treated these four people as his own family.

Xiao Yuxuan nodded to the three of them, indicating that the guests should follow the host's wishes, and the four of them took their seats according to their status.

The order is Xiao Yuxuan, Mu Wanjun, Xie Chengyuan, and Shen Shuli who was born in a commoner family.

The four of them just sat down.

Servants immediately brought hot tea to each of them.

There were two people sitting in the guest seat.

Shen Shuli looked at him curiously, and then her body froze instantly, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly!

"How could it be him!"

The two guests opposite had been observing each other since Xiao Yuxuan and the other three came in.

The person sitting in the first seat recognized Shen Shuli immediately after seeing her.

His eyes were also twinkling, and there was even a hint of joy on his face, as if he couldn't wait to say hello.

But Shen Shuli had not noticed him, and as a guest, he could not behave in a perverse manner.

It took a lot of effort for Shen Shuli to see him, and she obviously recognized him.

He immediately stretched out his hand excitedly and greeted Shen Shuli silently. He smiled brightly, showing a row of white and neat teeth, and the two little canine teeth were particularly eye-catching.

But Shen Shuli did not respond to the other party. Instead, she frowned and looked alert as if she had seen a ghost.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, the boy's bright expression slowly disappeared, and he looked lost and pitiful.

Xiao Yan obviously noticed the boy's behavior, and looked up at the girl sitting at the last seat, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Tenzeng, do you know Miss Shen?" Xiao Yan looked at the young man and asked directly.

It was really that Tenzin's actions were too eye-catching. Even if he hadn't said anything, others would have already noticed the little moves between the two.

It’s better to just ask openly.

Danzeng immediately looked at Xiao Yan with a smile and explained, "Your Highness, I told you before that there was a girl who saved my life. It was her!"

Xiao Yan was even more surprised this time.

He didn't expect that it was she who saved him.

What is even more coincidental is...

Tenzin had just come to discuss something with him today, and his savior also came to visit him immediately.

This is really too much of a coincidence!

Xiao Yuxuan, Mu Wanjun and Xie Chengyuan all looked at Shen Shuli and Danzeng at this moment.

They were very curious about the connection between the two men.

Why have they never heard Shen Shuli mention it?

Especially Xie Chengyuan.

He looked at Tenzin with some wariness, especially after hearing that Shen Shuli had saved this rosy-faced young man, he became even more vigilant.

Shen Shuli had no reaction or response to Tenzin's words.

She had long forgotten the person she had saved.

But now when she saw this person, she even had some bad shadows in her heart.

This Tenzin.

It was the magical humanoid creature of an unknown species that Shen Shuli shot and shot several times in the mysterious small village on the wild mountain outside Yunzhou City but failed to kill.

Shen Shuli felt her hair stand on end whenever she thought about it!

So you can imagine.

How could Shen Shuli be happy after seeing this weirdo?

Seeing that Miss Shen didn't want to mention this matter, Xiao Yan had a plan in mind and didn't continue to ask.

Xiao Yan dismissed him, "Okay, Tenzin, go to the guest room and rest first. We still have guests to entertain. I will discuss matters with you later."

Tenzin and the woman accompanying him stood up, bowed to Xiao Yan, and then left.

Before leaving, Danzeng still looked at Shen Shuli eagerly. When he walked to Shen Shuli's side, he couldn't help but said, "Benefactor, after you finish discussing the matter, can I come to see you?"

Shen Shuli didn't want to be too rude, so she replied expressionlessly, "No need to do that, let's just pretend we haven't met, you don't have to take it to heart."

Tenzin looked even more pitiful after being rejected, but he did not delay any further and left in aggrieved mood.

Xiao Yan waved his hand to signal all the servants to leave.

After the last maid left, she closed the door.

There was a charcoal brazier in the hall, and the room quickly became warm.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuxuan, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Xuan'er, why are you here? Where is your grandmother? How is her health?"

Xiao Yuxuan did not directly state the purpose of his visit, but instead informed his fourth uncle about his grandmother's recent situation.

"Fourth uncle, grandma is in good health. We escaped from the palace a year ago and just happened to avoid Xiao Yuqi's rebellion."

Xiao Yuxuan said a lot.

But he did not reveal the whereabouts of the island and his grandmother, and he also told all the news that Xiao Yuqi had abandoned the capital and moved to Lihai City.

Xiao Yan had been staying in Bizhou Prefecture and knew very little about news from the outside world.

The truth is that his military strength is insufficient, at most 60,000.

It is not easy to protect yourself in this situation.

Xiao Yan also briefly shared the news with Xiao Yuxuan.

"When I received the news from the capital, that bastard Xiao Yuqi had already taken control of the capital. My people were unable to find out any news about my mother."

"When I learned that Xiao Yuqi was migrating south with his army, I found out that my mother was not in his entourage."

"I thought that bastard had secretly executed you and my mother, but I didn't expect that you were still alive. If I had known this, I would have gone to look for you. You must have suffered a lot during this period!"

"By the way, where's your grandmother? Did you bring her here?"

Xiao Yan thought that Xiao Yuxuan came here to seek refuge with him, so he came here in advance to inquire about the news.

Xiao Yuxuan explained, "Fourth Uncle, don't worry, Grandmother is in an absolutely safe place. She is really worried about you, so she asked me to come here to inquire about your news. It's great to know that you are okay."
