Before Gu Xi looked over, she quickly floated behind Shen Yizhi and hid, trying not to be discovered by Gu Xi.

Gu Xi turned around, and Qing Bao and Yuan Bao shook their heads and waved their hands in unison, indicating that they were not the ones who smashed it.

Gu Xi's gaze fell on Shen Yizhi, but he noticed the corner of the bright red skirt hidden behind her. He chuckled, brushed off the snow on his body, strode over, and took out the ostrich's Nian Nian.

He deliberately frowned: "If I get hit, I'll hide, okay?"

Nian Nian subconsciously looked at Shen Yizi, but saw her spreading her hands and making a helpless expression.

Nian Nian could only face it by herself. She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Xi, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Gu Xi poked her soft and rosy cheeks with his fingers. He thought she was very cute in his heart, but he continued to act like a bad guy on the surface: "You didn't mean it? Then why are you hiding?"

Nian Nian pouted, her brows furrowed, "So what do you want to do?"

Gu Xi smiled and said, "Call me brother and I will forgive you."

Nian Nian rejected him seriously: "No, I'm older than you, how can I call you brother?"

A short and fat little girl with a three-head body actually said that she was older than him? Gu Xi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Nian Nian looked puzzled. Why did this person suddenly laugh?

Shen Yizhi said to Gu Xi calmly, "Don't disbelieve me, Nian Nian is indeed older than you."

Gu Xi's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at Nian Nian, then at Shen Yizhi, "Aunt, please don't coax me."

Shen Yizhi led Nian Nian into the house and said, "Why would I lie to you?"

She gave him a general account of Nian Nian's situation, and only then did Gu Xi realize that she had not lied to him.

He looked at Nian Nian, and unconsciously there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

In the room, a brazier was burning brightly. Three adults and three children sat around it and warmed themselves by the fire.

Although there was a formation in the house and it wasn't cold at all, Shen Yizi still felt that it was unreasonable not to have a fire in the winter.

But there was no need to wear so much in the house, so she took off her outer cloak first, and then she and Gu Xueting helped the three younger ones take off their thick outer clothes.

Next to the brazier, a few plump sweet potatoes had been almost roasted, the skin was slightly charred, and a sweet starchy aroma wafted out.

Shen Yizi picked out one, wrapped it in oil paper, made a slit in the middle, handed it to Nian Nian, and put a spoon in her hand so that she could eat it more easily without burning her mouth.

Nian Nian put the sweet potato on her legs, Xiaopang held it with one hand, and used the other hand to carefully dig the sweet potato and put it into her mouth. She ate it a little hurriedly and was obviously burned, but she couldn't bear to spit it out. She kept twirling her tongue around, and her little expression was so adorable.

Gu Xi felt itchy and took her to sit on her lap, "Can I feed you?"

It is certainly more convenient to have someone feed you than to eat by yourself. Nian Nian handed the spoon over without hesitation, and reminded him worriedly: "You are not allowed to eat secretly."

Why is this little thing so cute?

Gu Xi laughed, her chest trembling, "Okay, I won't eat it secretly, I'll feed it all to you."

The tone was filled with unconscious doting.

On the other side, Qingbao, Yuanbao and their parents had already eaten the hot sweet potatoes.

"Uncle, what happened between you and aunt before?" Gu Xi asked while feeding Nian Nian.

Gu Xueting explained the whole story in a simple sentence: "Xiao Lizhu was possessed by a succubus, and somehow she got the reincarnation disk and pulled Zhizhi and me in. We experienced several worlds in there. I found the right opportunity to break the reincarnation disk, and only then was I able to bring Zhizhi out."

Shen Yizhi added: "The Wheel of Reincarnation can create complete false worlds, seal people's memories, and replace them with new memories. If you are not careful, you may get lost in them. In the first few worlds, I thought I was the person in that world and didn't realize that something was wrong. It was not until the sixth world that my memory was awakened. But it was useless even if the memory was restored. It would still be sealed in the next world."

Gu Xi didn't expect things to turn out like this. He was quite shocked. His hands were slow to move and were slapped by Nian Nian.

When he came to his senses, he saw the little girl staring at him in dissatisfaction. He couldn't help but laugh and continued to feed her.

After eating the sweet potatoes, the three little guys couldn’t sit still and ran outside to play.

Shen Yizhi hurriedly stopped them and said, "Wait, put on your coats first. If you get cold, you will be in trouble."

Gu Xi told Gu Xueting about the situation in the imperial capital. "I received news that His Majesty suddenly suffered a stroke and is lying in bed unable to move. Now the government has fallen into the hands of the crown prince. The crown prince has formed a clique and excluded dissidents, as if he has already regarded himself as the emperor."

He snorted.

Gu Xueting looked calm when he heard this, as if he had expected it. "If you want to kill him, you must first make him crazy. You don't have to do anything for now, just wait for a while. That position will be yours sooner or later."

This was the first time he gave him a clear assurance.

Gu Xi smiled slowly.

Hot pot made by Shen Yizhi at noon.

It's snowing outside and the wind is cold. At this time, it's so refreshing to eat a hot pot in a warm house.

Not long after, the situation in the imperial capital changed again.

The prince felt that he was in power and the time was ripe, so he forced the emperor to abdicate. He barged into the emperor's bedroom and forced him to give up his throne. It's not accurate to say that he forced him, after all, the emperor had suffered a severe stroke and couldn't even take care of himself, so he had no ability to resist. The prince just came to inform him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the emperor, who had been diagnosed by the imperial physician as having to lie in bed for the rest of his life, suddenly recovered without any warning. He sat up from the bed and glared at the prince with flaming eyes.

The prince was shocked at first, and felt uncontrollably frightened. Thinking of what he had done recently, he decided to go all out and kill the emperor.

At this moment, the imperial teacher rushed over and subdued the prince and the people he brought with him.

A palace coup ended so dramatically.

The prince was so rebellious that he attempted to kill the emperor and usurp the throne. His crime was unforgivable, so the emperor directly threw the prince into jail. The best outcome waiting for him was life imprisonment.

After dealing with the prince, the emperor collapsed again before he had time to catch his breath.

This time, there is really no hope.

So a serious issue was placed before the ministers.

Who should be the next emperor?
