Before the next day even arrived, Little Phoenix happily went to the bottom of the cloud ladder to talk to Mo Qi.
"Qi Zhi, we have a little bird now, when are you coming out?" The little phoenix sat on the steps. "Brother Yue Lao said that the gestation period for little birds is very short, only five months."
As soon as Little Phoenix finished speaking, a huge surge of magical power suddenly emanated from the Sundial Cave.
Sensing the familiar fluctuations of magical power, the little phoenix jumped to its feet: "Qi Zhi!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the area looked at each other in bewilderment, and sent one of them to report to the Emperor's son.
The little phoenix didn't understand what was happening, but because she was carrying a little bird in her belly, she was able to keenly sense Mo Qi's emotions.
"Qi Zhi, can you hear me?" The little phoenix took two steps forward anxiously.
The heavenly soldiers guarding the area stopped her: "Your Majesty, Empress, you cannot go up."
Influenced by Little Bird and Mo Qi, Little Phoenix's mood is always somewhat unpredictable.
With a wave of her hand, her powerful magic sent the person flying: "Get out of the way!"

When she went to pick up Sparrow on New Year's Day, the little sparrow stared at her blankly for a long time until it perched on her shoulder and smelled the familiar scent: "Master?"
"Hmm." Yuan Dan nodded lightly.
Sparrow: "Master, how did you turn into a human?"
"I don't know either. It might be because I had some of Xiao Changqi's blood on me when I was injured last time."
The sparrow nodded as if it understood, and seeing Yuandan walk out, it asked again, "Master, where are we going?"
"go home."
sparrow:"?"
Which home should I go back to?
"Master, did you and His Majesty have a fight?"
"No." Yuan Dan had just come out of the Qique Palace when she was met with curious and surprised stares from the palace servants, but she remained quite calm.
"Now that I've returned to human form, it's not appropriate for me to stay in the palace any longer, since it wouldn't be proper," Yuan Dan said in a low voice.
As the man and the bird were talking, they ran into Xiao Changqi and Yuan Qing, who had come together after the morning court session.
Upon seeing Yuan Dan, Yuan Qing was visibly taken aback: "Yuan Yuan..."
Yuan Dan didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to Xiao Changqi, clearly asking: Your Majesty, aren't you going to explain?
Xiao Changqi said without changing his expression, "I'm returning your sister to you."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Yuan Qing strode over and embraced Yuan Dan tightly: "Yuan Yuan, you're not dead, you're not dead..."
As he spoke, Yuan Qing's voice choked with emotion.
Yuan Dan wasn't the real fourth young lady of the Yuan family, but she had personally witnessed Yuan Qing's reaction when he learned of Yuan Dan's death, and she knew that Yuan Qing truly cared about his only sister.
Seeing Yuan Qing holding Yuan Dan, Xiao Changqi's gaze suddenly turned cold and fierce for a moment, but it quickly disappeared into the depths of his eyes.
Yuan Dan softly replied, "Brother, I'm not dead."
"Good, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, which shows that Yuan Qing truly cherishes "New Year's Day".
Yuan Qing was appointed Prime Minister and had his own residence. He no longer lived in the Yuan family mansion. Since there was no one in the mansion, Yuan Qing, who had contributed to Xiao Changqi's ascension to the throne, naturally became the most popular candidate for marriage alliances among aristocratic families.
"These past few days, I've been fortunate to receive His Majesty's care." He had little luggage, only a small sparrow in his bag. "I'm leaving."
The man remained expressionless: "Hmm."
Xiao Changqi stood at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, watching Yuan Qing and Yuan Dan leave together, his eyes as deep as a wild beast in the dark night.
"Your Majesty, it's chilly, please go inside." Gao Zhong held a cloak in his hand, but dared not drape it over the man.
Xiao Changqi stood motionless for a moment, then suddenly whispered, "Should I not have let her go?"
