The emperor stayed in Lai Fu's body for about ten days, but there seemed to be no movement in the palace.
And Shen Qinghuai attends the morning court every day.
The court is also operating normally.
Who is the emperor sitting on the high platform at this moment?
The emperor sighed, but then thought that no news might be the best news.
Among his secret guards there is someone who is good at disguising himself, and the Queen Mother is decisive and efficient. If he is unconscious, she should be able to quickly control the situation.
If the dog named Lai Fu was inside his body... the emperor shook his head, it was impossible.
Now he doesn’t know if he can change back. Sometimes the emperor would panic. What if he is a dog all his life?
As the king of a country, he can only be a dog. Just thinking about this possibility makes him feel a splitting headache and it is hard to accept.
In order to maintain hope, he subconsciously still believed that he could definitely go back.
Now I can only survive in this dog's body.

The next day, the twins, a boy and a girl, born to Shen Qinghuai and his deceased wife, returned to the Shen Mansion.
Shen Qinghuai is now thirty-four years old, and his child is twelve years old this year.
Xu Lingyi went to the door to meet them.
When the twins got off the carriage and saw Xu Lingyi, they were stunned.
Xu Lingyi wore a lavender white gauze dress, simple yet elegant.
Her black hair was like a waterfall, her skin was as smooth as fat, her eyebrows and features were as delicate as a painting, and her eyes were especially clear and bright, as if the stars were crushed in them.
They stared at Xu Lingyi's face for a long time without being able to recover.
Is there really someone with such appearance in this world?
Just standing there, they seemed to see fairies.
They never knew that their stepmother was so stunning.
When I heard that my father had married a new wife, Long Feitai smashed a lot of things and the servants who served them were also beaten.
Now, after the amazement, there is a strong sense of crisis.
This woman looks so young, will my father really not be fascinated by her?
They thought of what their grandmother had said.
"You two must go back. Although your father has been thinking about your mother all these years, your grandmother is an experienced person. Time passes, and no matter how deep the feelings are, they will eventually be forgotten. If she gives birth to a child for your father in the future, how will you two siblings gain a foothold in the mansion?"
Shen Rou and Shen Su finally came to their senses and realized that the General's Mansion would always belong to them, and they must not let their stepmother get involved in anything.
They came back to defeat their stepmother, but when they met for the first time, they were so incompetent that they kept staring at her.
The twins both lowered their heads and snorted coldly.
But when they were in front of Xu Lingyi, they still pretended to be obedient: "Greetings to mother."
Xu Lingyi quickly helped them up: "I have sent someone to clean your residence. If there is anything wrong, please let me know."
Her voice was also so beautiful, Shen Rou felt jealous.
She is twelve years old this year, but her grandmother and others have already started looking for a partner for her and are preparing to settle her down in advance.
She was not an ignorant little girl and had already known the difference between beauty and ugliness.
It would be great if she looked like Xu Lingyi.
In this way, she can enter the prince's mansion and become the principal wife.
Everything was calm on the first day they returned home. Xu Lingyi even sat down to have a meal with them and Shen Qinghuai.
Mother Shen has been ill and hasn't been seen for a long time.
The meal was relatively peaceful, but Xu Lingyi knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
She knew clearly that Shen Rou and Shen Su were two vicious and naughty children, but in Shen Qinghuai's eyes, his two children were the best children in the world, and were born to him by his ex-wife at the risk of her life.
He treats these two children as treasures. Shen's mother may prefer Shen Su and often ignore Shen Rou, but Shen Qinghuai will not do that. He will conflict with Shen's mother over these things.
He would even double his compensation to Chen Rou and not let her suffer any injustice.
All this fueled the arrogance of Shen Rou and Shen Su. They could not tolerate anyone else around Shen Qinghuai, let alone her as their stepmother.
"Rou'er, you will follow me from now on..."
Shen Qinghuai paused. Although Xu Lingyi was indeed the nominal mother of the twins at this time, the twins might not be able to accept it.
"Father, don't worry, I will follow mother to learn how to be a housekeeper." Shen Rou took the initiative to speak, and she even hugged Xu Lingyi's arm to show her closeness.
Shen Qinghuai breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why Shen Rou and Shen Su returned to his maternal grandparents' home was because they could not accept the fact that he got married.
He had never thought of remarrying before, so Chen Rou and the others never thought that they would have a stepmother.
He didn't blame the children, and now he couldn't blame Xu Lingyi either.
All of this happened by accident. If anyone is to be blamed, it is only Xu Lingyi's stepmother.
Xu Lingyi pretended to be surprised. She seemed flattered that Shen Rou called her mother. She blushed with embarrassment for a moment and said, "Husband, I will also try my best to help Rou'er."
When Shen Rou saw her foxy look, she exchanged glances with Shen Su, and both of them had a lot of ideas in their minds.
Xu Lingyi had been plotted against by these two children in her previous life, so she naturally knew that they had bad intentions, but she didn't take it to heart. Their methods were not very clever.
After dinner, Xu Lingyi left on her own accord, leaving Shen Qinghuai and his two sons time to talk.
"Daddy, she is so beautiful. Do you think she is beautiful?" Shen Rou asked tentatively.
If it were in the past, Shen Qinghuai would definitely shake his head. He only had mother Shen Rou in his heart. Apart from her, other women were just vulgar women.
"She is indeed a striking appearance."
Shen Qinghuai used to regard her as a vicious and vain woman, deliberately ignoring her beauty and not looking at her captivating eyes.
But when he realized that she was not the woman he had imagined, he had to admit that she was indeed extremely beautiful, rare in the world.
Shen Rou and Shen Su felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Perhaps my father himself did not realize that when he talked about marrying Xu Lingyi, his words were full of disgust towards her.
Although they could not accept Shen Qinghuai getting married at that time, they were still sure that their father would not even look at her.
But now, his father's attitude towards Xu Lingyi has quietly changed.
They had to take action and absolutely could not let their father pay attention to Xu Lingyi.

"Miss, why do I feel that those two children seem to be hostile to you?" Yingchun puffed up her cheeks and had an intuitive dislike for them.
Xu Lingyi pinched Yingchun's ear and chuckled, "No way, Rou'er was particularly close to me today. I think maybe after some time, we'll get along very well."
Xu Lingyi pretended to be naive.
The emperor turned around and ran out. He also felt that Shen Qinghuai's two children were not good people.
But whether it is good or bad, he will know after going out and listening.
Xu Lingyi is so innocent and kind. If these two children have bad intentions, she will not be their match.
"Laifu!" Xu Lingyi shouted from behind.
"Lai Fu ran away again. Fortunately, the young lady is the housekeeper now, and the people in the general's mansion recognize him now and will not attack Lai Fu." Yingchun said.
This is also the reason why the emperor dares to run away now.
