Jun Moqing soothed her, "You are their mother, and even if they don’t recognize you at first, after a day together, they will grow very close to you."

Feng Wuyou, being a mother for the first time and never having experienced such a long separation from her babies, couldn’t help feeling a bit expectant upon hearing her father’s words, "Really?"

Jun Moqing nodded, "Yes, blood is thicker than water, they will be close to you."

Feng Wuyou felt reassured, "Daddy is right, the babies are so cute and smart, they will definitely guess that I am their mother concubine, so they won’t shy away from me."

Xiao Jinyan reminded her, "We’re about to enter the city."

Feng Wuyou was thrilled beyond words, "We’re finally entering the city, babies, I’m coming back."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Xiaojiu’s excitement; he was excited too. It had been too long since he had seen the two babies, and he wondered how much they had grown, and if their little faces had changed.

They used Qin Xiao’s token, so they were able to enter the city without any hindrance.

Once they were in the city, their pace slowed down.

Feng Wuyou was eager to return, but the smell of pastries wafting in through the gap in the curtains on the street tempted her cravings.

In their haste to travel, they had journeyed day and night, resting at an inn only when they were too exhausted to continue.

She lifted the curtain and glanced out, only to see her favorite pastries and meat patties...

She was too tempted.

She withdrew her gaze back to Xiao Jinyan and tugged at his sleeve, "Buy some pastries to take back for Taotao and Susu. Susu is such a little foodie. We haven’t brought them any little gifts or local specialties on our return, and they will surely be disappointed."

Xiao Jinyan saw right through Xiaojiu’s pretense of craving, just like when she was younger, always finding excuses for her own desires.

"Okay."

Xiao Jinyan lifted the curtain and said to Qin Xiao, "Go buy some meat patties and pastries."

"Your subordinate obeys." After Qin Xiao brought the horse carriage to a halt, he quickly dismounted and purchased more than what was asked for, and even bought an extra portion for Chun Xi, whom he hadn’t seen in a while, to take her some food.

When Qin Xiao returned, he handed in the wrapped parcels through the gap.

Xiao Jinyan took them and directly handed them to Xiaojiu, "Eat some to fill your stomach first."

Feng Wuyou, already tempted, was delighted to comply.

"Okay."

She unwrapped the paper, smelled the familiar aroma, and was overcome with craving, having not eaten it for so long that just the scent almost made her drool.

She laughed and handed a meat patty to her father, "Daddy, try the meat patty, it’s delicious."

Jun Moqing could not resist his daughter’s offering.

"Okay." His slender fingers took the meat patty from his daughter’s hand, brought it to his lips, and took a bite; the freshly baked meat patty was very fragrant.

She then handed one to Ye Suhuan, "Big brother, you have a taste too."

"Okay." Ye Suhuan agreed without hesitation, took the meat patty, and bit into it. No sooner had he tasted it than he felt a wave of nausea. He fought the urge and swallowed the meat patty regardless.

Still, his stomach churned violently as if it had been agitated.

Feng Wuyou noticed something was off with Ye Suhuan and asked worriedly, "Big brother, what’s wrong?"

Ye Suhuan shook his head, "It’s nothing serious, probably just a chill."

This was not the first time he had such a reaction; every time he ate meat, he would feel nauseous.

So it had been a very long time since he had eaten meat.

But now, eating meat made him feel even more nauseous than before, it had to be thrown up to feel any better.

Feng Wuyou saw his pale face and felt somewhat uneasy, "Let me take your pulse and examine you."

Ye Suhuan nodded, "Okay."

With that, he reached out his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed a section of his wrist.

Feng Wuyou extended two fingers and placed them on his pulse, beginning the examination.

Xiao Jinyan’s face had become ashen, even if there was a reason for it, he could not accept his wife taking the pulse of a love rival, was it any different from touching his hand?

Feng Wuyou exclaimed, "Your pulse is so strange, there’s nothing wrong with your stomach, but your pulse tells me that you’re sick."

Ye Suhuan asked with confusion, "What sickness?"

Feng Wuyou replied, "Cold Poison."

Ye Suhuan asked again, "How did I get Cold Poison?"

Feng Wuyou inquired, "Do you often stay in extremely cold places? Because only by frequently staying in extremely cold places can the coldness linger in the body and accumulate over time to form Cold Poison."

Ye Suhuan shook his head, "I don’t."

Feng Wuyou’s eyes were filled with confusion, "Then what’s going on?"

Ye Suhuan smiled and said, "You don’t need to worry, just give me a thorough check when you reach the palace."

Xiao Jinyan: "..." Pushing his luck!

"Okay." Feng Wuyou picked up a meat patty and was about to bite into it when she realized that Xiao Jinyan hadn’t yet, she quickly extended the meat patty towards him, "My lord, you should have a piece too."

Xiao Jinyan snorted in his heart, finally remembered you have a husband?

He took the meat patty from her hand, brought it to his lips, and took a bite. Seeing Ye Suhuan holding a meat patty, he suddenly felt as if the taste of the meat patty in his mouth had changed.

Feng Wuyou eagerly bit into a meat patty, the familiar flavor gratifying her tremendously.

As the horse carriage entered the palace gate, Feng Wuyou once again lifted the curtain to look outside, after years away from the Imperial Palace, it felt like coming home.

The horse carriage made its way directly towards the East Palace, there was no time to see the Emperor first.

The horse carriage came to a steady stop outside the entrance to the East Palace.

Susu saw the horse carriage, got excited, and stood up from the threshold, walking down with her little short legs, curiously staring at the horse carriage.

As Susu stood up, Dabai immediately followed closely behind her without leaving her side.

Feng Wuyou was the first to jump down from the horse carriage, planning to go in and give her babies a surprise, but as soon as she got off, she saw a small figure suddenly peek out from the other side, curiously gazing at her with wide-open eyes.

Instead of giving her daughter a surprise, her daughter gave her a surprise.

Feng Wuyou opened her arms excitedly towards Susu, "Susu, Mommy’s back, come give me a hug."

Susu stared at Feng Wuyou for a while, feeling that she looked a bit different from the last time she saw Mommy.

"Are you Mommy?"

Feng Wuyou nodded vigorously, "Of course, doesn’t Susu recognize Mommy anymore?"

Susu walked over to her with her little short legs, her large black eyes blinking unceasingly as she stared at Feng Wuyou, "Then can you call me baby?"
