"But..." Eleven hesitated, still feeling that something was wrong.

"What should we do if the emperor finds out..."

Xiao Ruyu comforted him and told him not to worry, as he was confident.

[The flower of Albizia Julibrissin is weak, Daddy won’t notice it, and besides…]

[I am also doing this for the good of my father and mother. ]

She spoke sharply and blinked her eyes, and for a moment Eleven was unable to refute her.

"That's good."

Eleven had no choice but to answer and could only hope that nothing would go wrong.

Xiao Ruyu successfully brainwashed Eleven and returned to the bedroom humming a tune.

[Smelly brother, wake up quickly, the sun is shining on your butt. ]

She ran to Xiao Rujin's bedroom and saw that he had woken up a long time ago and was lying on the bed, refusing to get up.

[Okay, you actually pretended to sleep. ]

Seeing this, she reached out and tickled Xiao Rujin's itchy spot.

"Sister, sister...itchy."

Xiao Rujin laughed out loud, turned over and stopped Xiao Ruyu from tickling him.

He stood up, sleepy-eyed, "Sister, I don't have to go to school, what's the point of getting up so early?"

Xiao Ruyu put her hands on her hips and said, "No need to go to school. I will teach you how to read."

"It just so happens that mother is not here this morning, so I have to be responsible for watching you."

"Where is mother?"

Xiao Rujin asked doubtfully.

Xiao Ruyu kept it a secret and refused to say anything.

[Oh, my mother is busy now. She will be back later.]

[Hurry up and get up. Sister asked Eleven to prepare lotus seed soup.]

He lifted his blanket and pulled him down.

Xiao Rujin woke up and understood. He took the breakfast and ate while mumbling.

"My sister just doesn't want me to sleep in..."

After breakfast, Xiao Ruyu took Xiao Rujin to the yard to play for the whole morning.

His physique was still a little weak, and Xiao Ruyu would intentionally take him running from time to time.

Firstly, it will help him recover.

Secondly, it can make him feel happier.

Xiao Ruyu looked at him running freely in the yard, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

As it was almost time to go to school, she looked at Xiao Rujin who was having fun and felt sorry for him.

She called out to Eleven in a low voice.

"Eleven, go tell the teacher that I won't be going to school today."

Eleven agreed in a daze.

"I'll spend the whole day playing with my brother." Xiao Ruyu explained with bright eyes.

The two had a crazy day of fun and dusk gradually fell.

Xiao Rujin was finally tired and collapsed on the ground.

"Sister, you haven't been to school all day, won't the teacher blame you?"

[Sister is diligent and hardworking, how can the teacher blame her? 】

Xiao Ruyu smiled and took him to eat.

Looking at the empty bedroom, the two realized that Queen Duan had not returned yet.

"Hey, mother has been out for more than a day. How come she hasn't come back yet at dinner time?"

Xiao Rujin peeked outside the hall, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes.

"Sister, where did mother go?"

Seeing him asking, Xiao Ruyu scratched his head and had to answer truthfully.

【Mother went to Daddy’s place.】

"Then let's go straight to Mom and Dad to have dinner together."

Xiao Rujin didn't even think twice and went out to look for it.

[Wait, no! ]

Xiao Ruyu stopped him at the door and said angrily, "Stinky brother, you need to be more sensible."

Seeing his puzzled expression, Xiao Ruyu leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

"Daddy and Mommy are giving birth to a little brother for us, you must not disturb them."

Although Xiao Rujin didn't understand what Xiao Ruyu was talking about, she clapped her hands when she heard the little brother was mentioned.

"Okay, okay, then I won't be the youngest anymore."

"Then I will love my little brother as much as my sister loves me!"

【That’s more like it. 】

Xiao Ruyu smiled with relief and took him to wait in the hall.

One hour.

Two hours passed.

It was already very late at night, and the night watchman had already arrived in the hall.

"Little Prince, it's time to go to bed."

She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Xiao Rujin, who was still full of energy.

Xiao Rujin shook her head and snuggled into Xiao Ruyu's arms with grievance.

"Sister, I can't sleep alone."

"Sister, can you sleep with me tonight?"

Normally, Queen Duan would watch over him as he slept, but today he was alone.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ruyu couldn't bear it and asked the nanny to prepare another quilt.

"My mother is not here today, so I will accompany the little prince to rest. You may leave first."

The nanny responded and retreated.

Xiao Rujin was in a good mood and pulled Xiao Ruyu to bed.

After the candle went out.

At night, Xiao Rujin whispered, "Sister, you haven't finished the story you told me last time."

[It’s so late now, I’ll tell you tomorrow. ]

Xiao Ruyu yawned, turned over, and heard that Xiao Rujin was no longer moving.

She asked softly.

[Stinky brother, are you asleep? ]

She couldn't help laughing as she heard the sound of steady rising and falling breathing, then tucked in the quilt and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Queen Duan returned to the palace and saw the two little people snuggling together with tenderness in her eyes.

She carefully went forward to cover the two of them with bedding, but accidentally woke up Xiao Ruyu.

【Mother, you are back. 】

Xiao Ruyu rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up from the bed.

She quickly helped Queen Duan to sit aside and poured her a glass of water.

【Mother, drink some water. 】

Xiao Rujin also woke up, and remembering what Xiao Ruyu said yesterday, he also came over to show his courtesy.

He massaged Queen Duan's legs and spoke in a flattering manner.

"Mom, you've worked hard. Take a rest."

Queen Duan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the two of them coming one after another.

"Where did the sun rise today? What are you two little brats thinking of now?"

【Since mother said this, Yu'er and Jin'er can no longer be filial to mother. 】

Xiao Ruyu stuck out her tongue, poured some water for her, blew on it and handed it to her.

Looking at the two of them, Queen Duan felt very relieved.

She took one in each hand, her face full of doting, "Of course you can, but I don't know why you two little brats are suddenly so attentive to each other."

Xiao Rujin spoke quickly and blurted out the answer.

"My sister said that mom and dad are giving birth to a little brother."

"Then mother must be very tired and needs to rest quickly."

The air in the hall was silent for two seconds.

Seeing that Empress Duan and Xiao Ruyu were silent, Xiao Rujin tilted her head and asked innocently.

"Jin'er also wants to see how the little brother was born."

“Ahem.”

Queen Duan coughed twice and almost choked on the water she had just drunk.

She glanced at Xiao Ruyu with a look of shock.

"Yu'er, what did you tell your brother?"

Xiao Ruyu was petrified on the spot, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She covered Xiao Rujin's mouth as he tried to speak, and smiled awkwardly with nothing to say.

"Mmm...Sister..."

Xiao Rujin was so depressed that she was speechless and didn't know what she had said wrong. She looked to Queen Duan for help.

"Mother...sister..."
