“Cough cough…cough cough cough.”

In the inner kitchen, two small figures rushed out from the smoke, choking and almost coughing up tears.

Before half an incense stick.

Xiao Ruyu had just come out of the palace and was about to go to the inner kitchen to make some snacks when he happened to bump into Xiao Rujin who had just stepped out of the palace.

"Sister, are you going to the kitchenette to get something delicious?"

As soon as Xiao Rujin saw her, he followed her happily.

【Eat, eat, eat, and just eat. 】

[Mother has been unable to eat these past few days. ]

After being scolded by Xiao Ruyu, Xiao Rujin felt a little discouraged and took her hand.

"Then I'm going to go with my sister and make some snacks for mother."

The two little kids came to the inner kitchen, but found that they couldn't reach the stove at all.

In desperation, Xiao Ruyu ordered Xiao Rujin to bring in mats, and after putting two layers of mats on the ground, he was able to barely reach the surface.

"Sister, can you do it?"

Xiao Rujin looked up at her, tilting his head innocently.

Looking at the pile of materials in front of him, Xiao Ruyu was at a loss but pretended to be calm.

[Of course you can. Bring me the vinegar...]

After tinkering with it for a while, the two of them came out of the kitchen covered in dust.

"Sister, it smells terrible, are you sure you did it right?"

Xiao Rujin had a bitter face, because she had just forced him to taste the snack she had made, and now she almost vomited out her breakfast.

Looking at the messy kitchen, Xiao Ruyu scratched his head, unable to figure out what went wrong.

【In theory, that's right. 】

She glanced at the vinegar beside her and thought the color was a little off, so she leaned over to smell it.

[Smelly brother, you put soy sauce in it! ]

Xiao Ruyu looked at him with disappointment and slumped down at the door in despair.

"Little princess, what happened?"

Eleven rushed over after hearing the news, but saw the funny faces of the two people and the messy items in the small kitchen.

He held his forehead with his hand helplessly and chuckled, "The little princess is not good at cooking, so let Eleven do it. There is no need to force yourself."

When Xiao Ruyu heard Eleven say this, she put her hands on her hips and retorted angrily.

[I don’t know who burned down the kitchen last time. ]

Xiao Rujin looked at the two of them bickering and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Sister, Eleven has good intentions, please stop being so mean to him."

Eleven just smiled and didn't take it to heart. He carried Xiao Ruyu into the small kitchen.

The messy items had been tidied up by the servants. Eleven took some hawthorns and handed them to Xiao Ruyu, "Little princess, why don't you make some candied haws? It will whet your appetite."

Xiao Ruyu's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice.

"Put some sugar in there, and some more..."

Listening to her chattering, Eleven helped to clean up the mess, carefully handing the two people what they needed.

【Mission accomplished! 】

After a while, Xiao Ruyu clapped her hands, sniffed the sweet and sour aroma of the candied haws, and her saliva began to secrete.

She couldn't wait to pick one up and put it into Xiao Rujin's mouth first.

[Smelly brother, hurry up. 】

Xiao Rujin was suddenly stuffed with a bite, and as the sweet and sour taste burst in his mouth, he nodded frantically.

“Delicious, delicious, delicious.”

His eyes lit up and he was about to take another one to eat, but Xiao Ruyu took it away and placed it in front of Eleven.

【Eleven, you try it too. 】

Eleven carefully took one and put it in her mouth, nodding slightly, "The little princess did a great job."

Xiao Ruyu smiled, then pulled Xiao Rujin over and began to praise him.

[Eleven's cooking skills are indeed good, naughty brother, don't you think so? ]

Xiao Rujin followed suit and never took his eyes off the candied haws. "Yes, yes, yes, Eleven is amazing. The food is so delicious."

Eleven's face turned red due to the praise and he touched his nose awkwardly.

"It was all done by the little princess. Eleven was just helping out."

Seeing his ears slightly red, Xiao Ruyu looked dazed.

…

"Junior brother, the cakes you made are so delicious, they are as good as Master's."

In Yaowang Valley, a young girl was looking at the freshly baked cakes with her mouth watering.

The young man beside him touched his nose embarrassedly, "I'm just helping out, Senior Sister is still the best."

"How dare you use Master's medicine furnace to make sugar and cakes? Stop right there, Master!!!"

Before I could eat two pieces, I heard an angry voice behind me.

The girl and boy exchanged glances and picked up the pastries.

“Run!”

…

"Little princess, little princess?"

Seeing that she was still distracted, Eleven waved his hand in front of her in confusion.

Xiao Ruyu suddenly came back to her senses and pulled herself out of her memories.

【fine.】

She forced a smile to suppress the sour feeling in her heart.

【Let's go and give mother some cakes. 】

I don’t know why, even though it happened in my previous life, the memories of it always come back to me from time to time.

Xiao Ruyu sighed softly in her heart and pushed her junior brother even deeper into her heart.

Inside the Queen's Palace.

Queen Duan was basking in the sun. The discomfort caused by her mid-pregnancy made her feel drowsy from time to time.

"Mom, look what delicious food my stinky brother and I made."

Xiao Ruyu's soft voice came from the door of the hall. She rushed in, pulling Xiao Rujin and placing the prepared candied haws in front of her.

"This is……"

Queen Duan forced herself to open her eyelids, took the candied haws from her hand, and ate one while facing her eager gaze.

The sweet and sour feeling diluted the discomfort of morning sickness, and she felt much better.

[Mother, is it delicious? ]

Xiao Ruyu looked at her expectantly, her small hands tightly gripping the edge of the bowl.

"It's made by Yu'er and Jin'er themselves, so of course it's delicious."

Queen Duan was deeply moved. She hugged the two people, one on each side, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I am very pleased to have you two."

The baby in her belly seemed to feel the joy and moved slightly twice.

Xiao Ruyu looked at the movement of the belly in amazement, then squatted down and pressed against Queen Duan's belly.

[Mom, can the little brother and sister in my belly understand what I say? ]

Queen Duan smiled and touched her belly, "Mother and child are connected by heart. If I am happy, they will be happy too."

Mother and child are connected by heart...

Xiao Ruyu chewed on these two words, and suddenly something came into her mind.

[Yes! Mother and child are connected by heart! ]

What Queen Duan said happened to remind Xiao Ruyu.

She thought about the mother-child Gu in Xiao Rujin's body, and a bold idea came to her mind.

Queen Duan noticed that her smile suddenly faded and instead became a bit solemn, so she asked in confusion.

"What did Yu'er think of?"

Suppressing her excitement, Xiao Ruyu hurriedly took Eleven and said goodbye to Queen Duan.

[Mother, I have something to discuss with Eleven alone, so I’m leaving now.]

After saying that, she couldn't wait to pull Eleven back to the bedroom.

After closing the doors and windows, Xiao Ruyu looked up at Eleven and told the world a method that would shock the world.

"Eleven, I know how to find the person who cast the curse!"
