Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused. After such a long time, there was finally news. He thought it would be the same as before and he would not be able to find any information at all.

"Let him in now."

After Qin Xiao left, Shu Ying came in from outside and knelt on one knee to salute, "Master."

Xiao Jinyan said: "Get up and answer."

"Thank you, master." Su Ying stood up straight and reported everything he had found out.

"I went to investigate for a long time, but almost no one in the entire Nanzhao had heard of Feng Wuyou until I passed by a remote village and heard an old man mention Feng Wuyou."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Does he know who Feng Wuyou is?"

"I heard from the old man that a plague broke out in Nanzhao Kingdom a few years ago. Since then, there has been no one named Feng Wuyou. As for who it was, the old man has always avoided talking about it." Su Ying replied respectfully.

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan became even more curious about Feng Wuyou. What kind of person would disappear out of thin air and make Nan Zhaoguo avoid talking about him? And who was that man in black?

"A sudden outbreak of plague? Why have I never heard of a sudden outbreak of plague in Nanzhao? Plague is no small matter. It is impossible for Nanzhao to conceal it from neighboring countries."

"I also found it strange. After much investigation, I learned that this plague came fiercely but went away quickly. In just one day, the Nanzhao Kingdom did not suffer any losses, so it did not spread." Suying said.

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "That's even more strange. If the plague recedes in one day, can it still be called a plague? How is it different from a rain?"

Shuying lowered his brows and closed his eyes because he was also curious, but after asking for a long time, the answers he got were always the same.

Xiao Jinyan pondered for a long time. Thinking about the paintings and jade in the secret compartment, as well as the words said by the man in black, made him want to know the truth.

A few years ago, he sent people to check and found that there was no one with the surname Feng in the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom.

Shu Ying guessed: "Master, is it possible that there is no such person as Feng Wuyou?"

"If there was no Feng Wuyou, how could I have her portrait?" Xiao Jinyan remembered the person in the painting, who was somewhat similar to Xiao Jiu. Perhaps it was a coincidence.

Shuying lowered his head. How would he know? He had checked it a few years ago but didn't find any clues. This time he was luckier and found some clues, but they didn't seem to be of much use.

Shuying has been in Nanzhao for nearly half a year and has lost a lot of weight, which also shows that she has suffered a lot during this trip.

Xiao Jinyan waved his hand and said, "Go down and have a rest."

"Thank you, master." Suying left the study.

Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at the memorial in his hand. In fact, he had no expectations for this investigation, but he was still a little disappointed to get this answer. The lost memory seemed to have no effect on him, but the words of the man in black always reminded him that the lost memory was very important.

"Liu Xi."

Liu Xi, who was guarding the door, bowed and walked in, "What do you want, Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Go and call Concubine Xu over."

"Yes." Liu Xi took the order and left, then turned and went to Yixiang Palace.

Concubine Xu was staring at the small bell in her hand with boredom, because it hadn't rang for four months, which was equivalent to not seeing Jun Wuxian for four months.

He said he would say something before leaving, but he just left without saying a word.

Concubine Xu originally planned to leave the palace at the end of the year, but because she couldn't bear to leave Shen Chuwei and Tao Liangyuan, she planned to leave the palace in the early spring of this year.

You can go back home anytime, but it will be difficult to meet again once you leave the palace.

When Liu Xi came in with his head bowed and told Concubine Xu that His Highness had summoned him for something, in the past, Concubine Xu would definitely be happy to dress up nicely to meet His Highness.

Now?

She said "hmm" lightly, then waved her handkerchief and followed Liu Xi to the study.

After entering, Concubine Xu stepped forward and bowed, "May Your Highness be blessed with good health."

Xiao Jinyan raised his head and looked at Concubine Xu and found that she had lost weight.

Concubine Xu has lost more than ten pounds in the past four months. It is so obvious that Xiao Jinyan cannot ignore it even if he wants to.

"Stand up and talk. I have something to discuss with you."

Compared to her arrogance and domineering behavior in the past three years, Concubine Xu is now a little gentler.

"Your Highness, what is it that you have summoned me to discuss?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't want to waste time, so it would be best to get straight to the point when talking to Concubine Xu.

"I want to see the man in black, do you have any solution?"

Speaking of the man in black, Concubine Xu felt a little worried. She shook her head and said, "Your Highness, there is nothing I can do."

Xiao Jinyan paused, seeming a little surprised by Concubine Xu's answer.

"Then how do you usually meet the man in black? I don't believe that you have never met in private."

"I have seen him, but every time it was the man in black who took the initiative to find me, and I didn't know how to find him." After saying this, Concubine Xu sighed in her heart. If she had known, she would have contacted him a long time ago and would not have to wait for more than four months.

It was only at this moment that Xiao Jinyan found out that Concubine Xu and the man in black had not seen each other for four months. Concubine Xu had no way of contacting the man in black, and if he wanted to find him, it would probably be harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"If the man in black comes to see you again, tell him that I want to see him."

When Concubine Xu heard this, she thought that Xiao Jinyan was going to cause trouble for the man in black. If that was true, it would be even more difficult to meet him next time.

"Why does Your Highness want to see him? He has done nothing bad. Although sneaking into the palace was wrong, he was a great help. When the Crown Princess was imprisoned in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I asked him to bring food to her."

Xiao Jinyan: “…” You don’t even know who that person is, and you’re already protecting him?

"Breaking into the palace at night is already a capital crime."

"..." Xiao Jinyan: "I saw him because of something, not because I wanted to punish him."

Concubine Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't being held accountable, she didn't want Jun Wuxian to become a wanted criminal.

"I understand."

Xiao Jinyan waved his sleeves and Concubine Xu left.

Unable to see the man in black, Xiao Jinyan had no chance to ask questions, because now only the man in black knew who Feng Wuyou was and what was his relationship with him?

After finishing the matters at hand, Xiao Jinyan went to the Hehuan Palace.

It was just time to light the lamps when snow suddenly started to fall.

Shen Chuwei brought her son and daughter to the corridor to watch the snow.

The two little guys were more excited than her when they saw the falling snowflakes.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Chuwei reached out her hand to take the snowflake and happily handed it to the babies, "Babies, this is a snowflake."

Susu looked down at the palm of Shen Chuwei's hand. Her little fingers had already turned into snowflakes of water. She said in a baby voice, "It's Huahua, Mommy, Huahua."

Shen Chuwei thinks that the way a one-year-old talks is fun and cute, especially her pink little face and the serious tone of voice that makes people melt.

"The snow has melted."

This was the scene Xiao Jinyan saw when he stepped into the Hehuan Palace. The warm scene made him ignore the whistling cold wind, and the indifference in his eyes was replaced by tenderness.

Susu was the first to see Xiao Jinyan. She opened her arms and happily flew towards Xiao Jinyan.

It's snowing and the road is slippery.

Shen Chuwei was startled when she saw her precious daughter diving, and hurriedly chased after her.

Xiao Jinyan was also shocked. He ran over as fast as he could and hugged his daughter in his arms.

"Daddy." Susu happily hugged Xiao Jinyan's neck and kissed his handsome face, "Well."

Xiao Jinyan looked at his daughter's eyes, which were as smiling as Xiao Jiu's, and corrected her: "Call me father."

Susu imitated and said, "Father-King."

Although the pronunciation was not clear enough, I could still tell it was my father.

Xiao Jinyan praised: "You have learned well."

Shen Chuwei held her son's hand and looked at the father and daughter in front of her. Even she herself had not expected that she would be able to get married and have children at the age of eighteen, which was something she would never have thought of before.

Xiao Jinyan walked over holding Susu, freeing one hand to hold Shen Chuwei's hand, and found that her hand was colder than his own.

"It's cold outside. Don't stand outside in the cold wind."

"I understand." Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan inside.

Chunxi brought the dishes to the table one by one. There was even a stove with vegetables scalding inside, which smelled delicious.

The two little guys sat on the dining chairs and started eating their own meals.

Xiao Jinyan picked up the bowl and remembered that his mother's birthday was coming up soon. "My mother's birthday is coming up soon. What birthday gift do you think would be best for her?"

Shen Chuwei swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking: "My mother is the queen, so she has no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk, but..."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "But what?"

Shen Chuwei chuckled: "My queen mother is already over 40 years old. Women care most about their appearance. I plan to make a facial mask and cream for my queen mother."

Xiao Jinyan heard some strange words from her again and was a little curious, "Mask? Cream? What is it?"

Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "It's a skin care product for skin care."

Xiao Jinyan recalled that her mother had complained in her heart that her father disliked her crow's feet and that she was not as good as a teenage girl. So any skin care products that were very effective were indeed very good birthday gifts.

"This is a great birthday gift. You have a way."

"My Queen Mother treats me very well, so of course I have to give her the gift she wants most."

Shen Chuwei is the type of person who will treat others twice as well if others treat her well. The Queen has nothing to say about her and there is no conflict between her and her mother-in-law at all.

Xiao Jinyan saw that his mother treated Xiaojiu better than her son. However, compared to before, his relationship with her had also eased a lot.

The next day, Shen Chuwei took out some Chinese herbal medicines that were effective for skin care from the space and began to make facial masks and creams.

Xiao Jinyan did not have to attend the morning court today, so he asked someone to bring writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the low table. He spread out the rice paper and held his son in his arms, intending to teach him how to write step by step.

Taotao was so happy when she got the red pen.

Just then, Xiao Jinyu strode in angrily from outside.

"Brother, the Emperor actually asked me to marry Wanxin as well."

Today, Xiao Jinyu brought up the matter of marrying a concubine again, and the emperor agreed, but asked him to marry both Miss Han and Wanxin, both as concubines.

Good evening, babies!
