Xiao Cai was relieved. All of the ministers who had entered the palace tonight were court ministers, so the children in the family were naturally pampered.

But on second thought, Xiao Cai felt that they were especially good at talking, smarter than normal four-and-a-half year olds.

The three of them quickly arrived at the Imperial study. The Road Manager was waiting outside the Imperial study, when he saw Xiao Cai bringing the two children over, he scolded: "Xiao Cai, you're getting more and more ignorant. The Emperor is currently discussing matters with the, how can you bring the children over to play?"

Xiao Cai was currently a servant of the imperial palace, directly under the Road Manager. She had always been sensible and well-informed, so the Road Manager admired him a lot, but she never thought that she would be so careless tonight.

Xiao Cai immediately explained: "Eunuch Lu, these two are the young masters and mistresses of a certain master. If they are lost, this servant will bring them here."

The Road Manager unhappily said: "Nonsense, none of the three Masters brought their families to the palace tonight. Could it be that some certain lady came to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress and lost her children?"

Road Manager looked at Jing Mo and asked: "What is your name?"

As long as they asked for his surname, they would know which family he was from. Those who were able to enter the palace were all nobles or officials of the imperial court.

"My name is Jing Mo."

"My name is Zhong Lou."

Road Manager was startled, then asked: "What is your surname?"

Zhong Lou and Jing Mo looked at each other, then asked Road Manager at the same time, "What is your surname?"

The Road Manager bent down, "It's the word that's written in front of your names."

The twins shook their heads, looking at a loss. "We are only four and a half years old."

Four and a half years old, what surname was not within their range. Alright, even though I understand, I can't say it because this bearded fat old man doesn't look easy to deal with.

Road Manager was in a difficult situation now. He didn't know his surname, and he was only four and a half. He really couldn't get anything out of his father, and probably didn't even know his father's name.

He asked Xiao Cai, "Where did you see them?"

"It's near the Zevi Palace." Xiao Cai said.

"Do you know which adult has twins?" Road Manager racked his brains for a moment. It seemed that he had never heard of any family having twins.

"I don't know!" Xiao Cai said honestly.

Jing Mo and Zhong Lou were obviously very anxious. If they weren't mistaken, their father was inside, but this fat uncle with the old moustache was asking questions.

Road Manager said: "Go and ask around immediately, see who has entered the palace today and is still leaving. Oh right, remember to ask who brought the child in."

"Yes, this servant will go immediately!" Xiao Cai anxiously left.

Road Manager called a young eunuch over, "Bring the two of them to the side hall and get some snacks to treat them.

"Yes sir!" said the eunuch.

Jing Mo and Zhong Lou gulped their saliva down when they heard this. They really wanted to go with the young eunuch, but tonight they had an important mission. They wanted to see father first, so they couldn't follow the eunuch.

Zhong Lou stepped forward and pulled at Road Manager's sleeve, "This uncle, where is the emperor?"

Road Manager laughed, "You little brat, you still know your majesty."

Zhong Lou said softly, "I have something to tell you, but you can't tell my mother."

"What is it?" Surprise flashed past Road Manager's eyes as he squatted and supported Zhong Lou.

Zhong Lou whispered into his ear: "My father is the emperor, we are here to look for father, but you can't go back and tell my mother, my mother knows that if we walk around randomly, we will get spanked."

The Road Manager laughed. "Nonsense, the Emperor still hasn't had any children. Who taught you to speak nonsense?"

Seeing that he did not believe her, Zhong Lou was hurt, he stomped his feet and said: "I have told you the secret, but you do not believe me."

"Aiya, are they crying?" Road Manager saw that Zhong Lou's eyes were red, he reached out and pinched his cheeks, "Look at your face full of mud, if your father saw you again, he would probably beat you up, stop messing around, when big sister Xiao Cai asks someone, I'll send you guys back."

With that, he waved his hand and let the young eunuch take him away.

The young eunuch held both of their hands. "Come, let's eat something delicious."

Jing Mo and Zhong Lou looked at each other, their mouths flattened and aggrieved. They had arrived here with great difficulty, yet they could not find their father.

However, hearing that there was something delicious, she finally comforted him a little, "Do you have candied fruits?"

The eunuch laughed, "How is a candied fruit a good thing? It tastes so much better than candied fruits. "

"Really?" Both of them had a radiant look in their eyes. This was much more interesting than meeting their father.

In the side hall, the young eunuch brought out a lot of candied fruits and sweets. "You two stay here first, I have to serve the emperor's tea. You two can't run around, and you can't crawl in through the window. The emperor is currently in the middle of a discussion in the palace."

Both of them stuffed candied fruits into their mouths. They heard the eunuch's words: "Understood."

After the young eunuch left, Jing Mo swallowed down a piece of preserves with much difficulty. Then, with both hands, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her pocket, "Hurry up and take it, it's enough to eat for several days."

"I'll hide in my crotch so Mom won't notice. Elder sister, you also hide in your crotch. If Mom finds out later, we'll confiscate it." Zhong Lou taught.

"I don't want it. I peed in my pants. I'm so dirty." Jing Mo looked at him with disdain, then stuffed the candy into her arms.

These candied fruits, sweet and sour, were good enough to eat, but they kept eating until their teeth ached.

Jing Mo held her cheeks and cried: "Little brother, my teeth are hurting."

"Me too!" Zhong Lou quickly ate a candied fruit, his mouth was wide open, and he was gasping for air. However, this exhale made his teeth ache even more, and he almost cried.

"This is bad, Mom will definitely spank me!" Jing Mo wandered around the room.

Zhong Lou saw that there was no one outside, and said: "Big sister, let's go, I'm afraid we won't be able to see father tonight, let's go home early, if mother did not see us, we might as well pretend that we did not come out."

"Alright!" Jing Mo was also afraid, "Let's go through the window."

"That won't do. The elder brother just said that we can't climb out of the window. We can't even climb out of the window. It might not be the door outside."

"However, if someone discovers that we are carrying so much stuff, they will treat us as thieves. I don't want to go to jail. How about we just take everything out and leave it there?"

Zhong Lou tucked his crotch, looked at the door and decided: "Then let's go climb out the window."

So the twins lifted a chair to the window, stepped on it, and climbed out.

However, after coming out of the window, he found that it wasn't a courtyard, but a long corridor. The corridor was closed, so he could only keep walking forward.

"Where is this place?" Jing Mo walked carefully, "How do we walk out?"

Zhong Lou was also afraid, "Could there be ghosts here?"

"Don't spout nonsense." When Jing Mo heard the word "ghost", she was also afraid.

Zhong Lou wanted to cry, "Big sister, I'm so scared, I want to go back now."

Seeing that his brother was scared, Jing Mo immediately became courageous, and pulled Zhong Lou's hand: "Don't be scared, little brother, big sister will lead you there."

The twins walked along the corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a door, behind which they heard voices.

"There are people here. Younger brother, you don't need to be afraid. There are people here!" Jing Mo said happily.

The two of them hurried over and pushed the door open with all their might.

A light suddenly lit up in front of their eyes. It was brightly lit, and the light in the room made it impossible for them to escape.
