Xie Jingrui brought them out of the cave, and the two little guys felt like they had survived a disaster.

Xie Wenhua still clung to Xie Jingrui's body and refused to get down.

Song Yiyan thought about her behavior in the cave just now, her face turned slightly red, and she got off Xie Jingrui's body somewhat unnaturally.

"Father, that woman is a devil. She, she actually burned all those children in front of us. She said that when you find us, she will burn us to death like this." Xie Wenhua couldn't stop shaking as he spoke.

Xie Wenhua's big, round eyes were filled with tears, and she blinked at Xie Jingrui aggrievedly.

"Father, I miss mother so much. I want her to hug me, tell me stories, and call her mother openly. Brother Hua has so many things I want to do." Xie Wenhua didn't care what expression Xie Jingrui had at the moment, he just blurted out what he wanted to say.

In contrast.

Song Yiyan, however, is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Xie Jingrui looked at Song Yiyan who was standing silently on the side, and took a step forward, using the arm that had just been holding Song Yiyan to pick him up from the ground again.

Song Yiyan's brows slightly frowned, and his little face quickly turned red.

He explained in a small voice: "Your Majesty, I can walk by myself."

Xie Jingrui held his hand tightly, and his voice became unusually gentle: "The mountain road is dangerous. Today, a charred body of a child was found in the forest. It was about the same size as you. Plus, your sachet was left next to the body, so your mother thought it was you!"

"Mother, is she okay?" Song Yiyan's brows furrowed even tighter.

When Xie Wenhua heard Liu Yueru's name, he immediately calmed down and looked at Xie Jingrui quietly.

"She's fine. She's resting in Wanfu Temple now. I'll take you back. When she sees you back, she won't have those weird thoughts anymore." Xie Jingrui said as he quickened his pace.

just.

He held Song Yiyan's hand, touched his thin body, and his face looked a little bad.

He learned from the secret guards that Old Madam Song had been feeding Song Yiyan sugar beans since he was a child, and those sugar beans contained a slow-acting poison.

Long-term use will damage the internal organs and cause damage to the internal organs.

The reason why Song Yiyan is so weak is because of Old Madam Song and Song Nanzhi.

Although the genius doctor Yunhe had already forced the poison out of his body.

But those damaged internal organs cannot be restored in a short time.

When Xie Jingrui thought of the suffering Song Yiyan had endured over the years, the air around him suddenly cooled.

He held Song Yiyan's hand and used a little more force.

Song Yiyan has always been sensitive.

Feeling the difference in Xie Jingrui's magnetic field, he became cautious.

"Your Highness, please let me go." Song Yiyan's distant and cautious words suddenly hurt Xie Jingrui.

"Don't be afraid. I just think you are too thin, and your body is just skin and bones. I feel sorry for you, that's why I act like this. Don't be afraid." Xie Jingrui said to Song Yiyan in a gentle voice.

Song Yiyan's dark eyes looked at Xie Jingrui, and a hint of desire and warmth flashed in his eyes.

That is the desire for fatherly love.

Childhood.

He often saw Song Nanzhi holding Song Shijin high on his shoulders, riding horses, and playing around.

When Song Shijin got into trouble, his father protected him.

Even if I am injured or sick, I want my father to be with me.

He wants it too.

Yan Ge'er's eyes fell on Xie Jingrui's broad shoulders, thinking that he must be more reliable than Song Nanzhi.

"Can I lean here for a while?" Song Yiyan asked cautiously.

Xie Jingrui smiled and nodded at Song Yiyan: "Of course."

Xie Jingrui thought for a moment and continued, "This shoulder will be yours in the future. You can lean on me anytime you want. You can also ask me to do anything with you. Today, your mother has entrusted you to me, asking me to help take care of you."

After listening to Xie Jingrui's words, Song Yiyan's originally happy face suddenly turned cold.

He lowered his head and said fearfully, "Does mother not want me anymore?"

Xie Jingrui didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, and hurriedly explained: "No, your mother loves you so much, how could she bear to give you up?"

When Song Yiyan looked up again, tears were already glistening in his eyes. His black eyes, red and swollen, asked back: "Then why did she say that? Why did she send me away? If I leave her again, she will really be alone."

Xie Jingrui was stunned.

He doesn't have to explain yet.

Xie Wenhua was the first to speak: "Brother Yan'er, don't cry. Anyway, father has divorced his wife, and mother will soon be divorced. I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to issue an order to grant mother and father a marriage. In this way, our family can be together every day, right? This is a good thing. Why are you crying suddenly?"

The words fell.

Song Yiyan immediately held back the tears that were hanging in his eyes before they could fall out.

He looked at Xie Jingrui with some anticipation, and then nodded along with him.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of Xie Jingrui's mouth.

And Song Yiyan just happened to notice it.

When they returned to Manpukuji Temple.

A place inside Manpuku-ji Temple is brightly lit.

Xie Jingrui put the two little guys down from his body.

Holding Song Yiyan's hand with one hand and Hua Ge'er's hand with the other.

At this moment, many monks in the temple were frantically searching for something in Wanfu Temple.

Xie Jingrui grabbed a man and asked, "What happened at Wanfu Temple? What are you looking for?"

The monk clasped his hands together towards Xie Jingrui, and then he said, "The female donor that the prince arranged to stay in the side room of Wanfu Temple today suddenly disappeared."

“When did it happen?” Xie Jingrui’s face instantly darkened.

At this moment, Ye Tao also appeared in front of them in a hurry and anxiously.

Ye Tao bowed to Xie Jingrui with an apologetic look on her face, her eyes were red and swollen: "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I lost my wife."

"What's going on?" Xie Jingrui's voice became a little colder.

Ye Tao's crying stopped, and she explained, "Madam said she wanted to go to the back mountain to look for you, but Nanny wouldn't let her. She persuaded Madam to eat something, and then Madam sent Nanny away, and asked me to find someone to get some candy. When I asked the temple manager to get the candy, Madam was no longer in the room!"

"It's so dark outside, and Madam is alone. I have searched the entire Wanfu Temple, but I can't find Madam. I wonder if she has secretly gone to the back mountain to look for the prince?"

Song Yiyan looked towards the entrance of Wanfu Temple and analyzed: "No, there are gatekeepers at the entrance of the temple. If mother went out, no one would notice her. She must still be inside Wanfu Temple."

In the darkness, a pair of resentful eyes were staring at where Song Yiyan and the others were.
