After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

When Liu Yunxiang returned to the palace, his two children were playing in the garden.

The garden of the palace was originally very large, but it was separated by Yan Mu, forming two gardens, the east and west.

The West Garden was specially built by him for his two children. It has a sandpit, a wooden horse, a swing, and a court for Cuju. No matter how spoiled your children are, no one would have such a special place for children to play. Moreover, Yan Mu did all this himself. He claimed to be seriously ill, but in fact he was doing this at home.

Two children were playing Piju. They were still young and didn't understand the rules. They just kicked it around and screamed from time to time when they were excited.

"Girl, what are you having fun at the door?" Jinyan came back with snacks and saw her standing at the door.

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "I just saw Yan'er and Xingyi having fun, and I was happy too."

"We've been playing all afternoon. Not only are we hungry, my servant got them some snacks." Jin Yan said and walked inside.

She called out, and the two children responded. When they turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang, they happily ran to her first.

"Mom, I want a hug!" Xingyi stretched out his hand to act coquettishly towards Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang nodded Xingyi's nose, bent down and hugged her. Seeing Yan'er standing aside, her little mouth pouted, she pulled Yan'er over and hugged her together.

"Look how dirty you two are, two mud monkeys."

Regardless of his intentions, he hugged Liu Yunxiang and said, "Daddy said it doesn't matter if you are a little dirty, having fun is the most important thing."

"Yes, everything your father said is right."

"Not entirely right." Yan'er raised her head and said seriously.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

"I asked him why my mother always smelled good, and he said she was a flower fairy. Huh, isn't this a lie to a child? I don't believe it!"

Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Your father is also very annoying sometimes."

"I don't hate my father! Not at all!" Xingyi didn't allow anyone to say anything bad about her father, and shouted at Liu Yunxiang to change his mind.

Yan'er also frowned, "Dad doesn't hate it."

Just then Yan Mu came back. When the two children saw him, they left Liu Yunxiang and ran towards Yan Mu.

Yan Mu usually didn't like to laugh much, and his laughter was careless, but when he saw the two children, he burst into laughter, and sometimes he looked a little silly.

He picked up both children one by one.

The two children were no longer young, and he didn't mind wasting his strength. He held them and spun them around in circles, making the two children giggle.

When Liu Yunxiang saw this scene, she couldn't help but think of Bai Jingyu's two children. At this moment, she was very happy that the father of her two children was Yan Mu.

"Why is mom unhappy?" Xingyi tilted his head and looked at Liu Yunxiang.

Yan Mu laughed and said, "Maybe your mother wants a hug too."

Hearing this, the two children hurriedly slipped out of Yan Mu and pushed him: "Daddy, hurry up and hug mom."

Yan Mu wiped his nose, and while Liu Yunxiang was still in a daze, he went up and hugged her.

Liu Yunxiang came back to his senses and couldn't help but blush: "In front of the child, you..."

"They asked me to hold you." Yan Mu said roguely.

When Liu Yunxiang saw two children surrounding them, he hit Yan Mu hard on the chest, "Let go!"

"No!"

"Don't make trouble!"

"Unless you make it up to me."

"How to compensate?"

Yan Mu leaned into Liu Yunxiang's ear and said, Liu Yunxiang's face turned redder, "I, I'm tired, I need to go to bed early tonight."

With that said, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly pushed Yan Mu away and ran out.

After dinner, Yan Mu practiced calligraphy with the two children for a while, coaxed them to fall asleep, and then couldn't wait to come to the west room.

"Hurry up and put on your cape!"

Liu Yunxiang blushed with embarrassment. Hearing this, he couldn't help but froze, "What are you doing?"

"Take you to enjoy the snow scenery."

"So you asked me to compensate you for doing just enjoying the scenery?"

Yan Mu stepped forward, lowered his head and kissed Liu Yunxiang, "What do you think?"

"I..." When Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu curling up the corners of his mouth with a joking look on his face, he knew that he had been tricked by him, and he was so angry that he punched him again.

Liu Yunxiang was pulled out of the door by Yan Mu. He originally thought he was enjoying the scenery in the yard, but he didn't want him to get on the roof.

The cold wind blew over her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Tonight is fifteen." Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang and said.

There is a full moon in the sky, swimming among the colorful clouds, as if it is thousands of miles away among the mountains.

The night was so quiet that one could hear the rustling sound of thick snow falling from the top of a large locust tree in the alley outside the high wall.

Looking closer, the layers of roofs are covered with silver snow, glowing with stars under the bright moon.

Below are thousands of lights. Looking up, the entire Shengjing is melting into a peaceful winter night.

Liu Yunxiang lowered his head and saw Yan Mu looking into the distance. His face was rarely peaceful, as if it were a spring that had never experienced wind and waves.

"Why did you suddenly think of enjoying the scenery?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Yan Mu was silent for a while and said, "I'm going to Rumeng Pavilion with the old guy today."

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Rumeng Pavilion was the place where the emperor hid Madam Yan. Why would he take Yan Mu there?

"He just thought I was still amnesiac, so he mentioned what happened between him and the woman back then, saying that they were in love with each other. He considered that the woman was Mrs. Yan and had been very restrained, but the woman couldn't bear the loneliness and took the initiative. I seduced him, which led to the wrong thing, and then gave birth to me." Yan Mu said calmly.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but cursed: "Shameless!"

Yan Mu snorted, "I almost scolded him at that time. He is a complete hypocrite, selfish and sinister, which is extremely disgusting. However, the snowy scenery of Rumeng Pavilion is still very beautiful, so they ruined it for nothing." I don’t want you to accompany me to enjoy the snow scenery again and wash your eyes, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll feel sick if I see snow in the future.”

Liu Yunxiang hugged Yan Mu and said, "I'll accompany you."

However, the roof was indeed very cold, and they did not sit there for long. When they went down, Liu Yunxiang accidentally saw many people running past with torches on the street in front of them.

She didn't pay attention at the moment, and waited until the next day to learn that Bai Jingyu disappeared from the house last night, which alerted the Jingzhao Mansion, and many officials were looking for someone.

Zijin heard the news from outside and told Liu Yunxiang when he returned.

"I don't know where the fourth imperial concubine has gone. I'm afraid she may seek suicide." Jin Yan said with some regret.

Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh. Losing two children at once was such a pain that no one could bear.

While the master and the two servants were talking, the gatekeeper sent a letter, saying it was from a little beggar, "I just said it was for the princess. Before I could ask clearly, he dropped the letter and ran away." "

Liu Yunxiang took the letter and opened it. He first read the signature below, which turned out to be Ruan Lingyu.

There was only one sentence in the letter, and it could be seen from the handwriting that he was very anxious when he wrote it.

"Bai Jingyu is at the Earth Temple in the north of the city, save her!"

Ruan Lingyu always used money to do things and never talked about friendship with her. This was the first time he begged her, but it was for Bai Jingyu.

What's the relationship between them?
