After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

"Your Majesty, where is Ye Zhuxi?!"

Ye Xiaoran entered and immediately questioned him!

"What is Your Majesty saying? I don't understand!"

Li Wenyue calmly got up and coldly replied.

Ye Xiaoran, his eyes cold, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, his eyes filled with anger.

"Li Wenyue, don't disgust me. Hand over Ye Zhuxi. I don't want to stay here for even a moment longer!"

Ye Xiaoran knew about Li Wenyue's affairs in the harem. She was arrogant and domineering, and liked to bully others, often causing unrest in the harem.

Having spent so many years with Ye Xiaoran, Li Wenyue naturally knew his temper. Undeterred, she raised her eyes to meet his angry gaze and gave a cold smile.

"Why is Your Majesty so worried about Ye Zhuxi? She is neither your family member nor your woman. She is a woman who married a spy from the Dazhao regime. Aren't you worrying too much!"

The man shoved her away: "This is my business, you have no right to interfere!"

Li Wenyue pouted; she couldn't care less.

"Your Majesty has come to the wrong place. I do not know where Ye Zhuxi is. You should look for her elsewhere!"

Miao Miao was being held by a palace maid. She stared with her big, round eyes and then, when the maid wasn't looking, she bit down. The maid was in pain and let go of her. Miao Miao took the opportunity to kick her legs and jump down.

Then, ignoring the shocked looks on their faces, he ran out.

Just as Ye Xiaoran was about to order a search of the palace, he was suddenly hugged by a little baby.

"Uncle, Mother is over there!"

Miao Miao hugged Ye Xiaoran's leg and anxiously pointed behind the screen.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiaoran's eyes as he lifted his foot and walked over.

"Your Majesty..." Li Wenyue rushed forward to stop her, but it was too late.

When Ye Xiaoran went inside, he saw Ye Zhuxi bound hand and foot, her mouth tightly covered by a palace maid.

His suppressed anger surged up, and he said in an icy tone, "Let go of me now!"

As he spoke, he went over and untied the ropes binding her.

Ye Zhuxi's hair was a little messy, but she didn't care. After it was untied, she hugged Miaomiao to comfort her.

Seeing their faces red from the cold, and the little girl's eyes filled with tears, Ye Xiaoran gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, how do you explain this?"

"I...I just brought them here to talk and teach them some manners, I didn't do anything to them!"

Li Wenyue was always good at arguing, so Ye Xiaoran didn't bother to say anything more to her. He picked up Miaomiao and left with Ye Zhuxi.

He gave instructions to Li Si before leaving.

"The Empress is immoral, having privately imprisoned someone and deceived the Emperor. She is hereby confined to her quarters for one month!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyue's eyes widened in anger, and she forgot all about the white cat in her arms, shouting furiously.

"Ye Xiaoran, don't go too far!"

The only response she received was the sound of the door closing.

"Ye Xiaoran, you simp!"

……

Miao Miao looked at the uncle who was holding her, her almond-shaped eyes full of confusion.

Ye Xiaoran lowered his eyes and looked at the little one in his arms. He could tell at a glance that she was Ye Zhuxi's daughter. They looked so alike, especially her round almond eyes, which were very clear.

"Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty!"

Ye Xiaoran listened to her distant voice, a smile in his eyes.

"You don't need to thank me right away. There are other people waiting for you. You can thank them when you see them!"

Ye Zhuxi was surprised to learn that the person he was waiting for was actually her mother.

Upon seeing her mother, Ye Zhuxi's eyes instantly reddened, and she ran over and hugged her tightly.

"Mother, I'm back! I've come back to find you!"

Madam Gu was stunned for a moment. When she realized that the daughter in her arms was real, tears fell from her eyes, and she raised her hand in trembling arms to hug her back.

"My Ruoruo is back! My Ruoruo is really back!"

The two embraced and cried for a long time until Miao Miao's soft cry of "Mother" interrupted them.

Madam Gu looked down at the little baby beneath her, who looked exactly like her daughter when she was a child, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Ye Zhuxi was still hesitant to tell her mother that she and Fu Jingyuan had a child.

"Hello, Grandma!"

Miao Miao, being sensible, stepped forward and took Gu Shi's hand, speaking with a smile.

Her small, delicate face is very cute, and her bright, sparkling eyes are very endearing.

Mrs. Gu bent down and picked her up, so happy she almost fainted. This was her precious granddaughter.

Miao Miao hugged Gu Shi's face and gave him a big kiss, smiling so broadly that her eyes disappeared.

"Grandma, my name is Miaomiao!"

"Miao Miao?"

Gu was puzzled. Since it was her child with Fu Jingyuan, why was it named Miaomiao?

Ye Zhuxi noticed her mother's confusion, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Seeing her daughter's silence, Madam Gu didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she hugged the little dumpling in her arms tighter and said, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao has such a beautiful voice."

She wouldn't let go of what Fu Jingyuan had done before, but Miao Miao was innocent and so cute; she wouldn't transfer her father's hatred onto her.

Looking at the happy family, Ye Xiaoran smiled silently. After searching for so many years, they had finally found them.

He actually felt quite guilty about what had happened before, guilty that he hadn't protected her.

Although Madam Gu was happy to be reunited with her daughter, she kept an eye on Ye Xiaoran. Seeing him looking at his daughter with such tenderness, she sighed softly.

Fate is cruel; such a wonderful person, and we just missed each other.

After recognizing each other, Ye Zhuxi originally planned to take her mother out of the palace, but Ye Xiaoran kept her there, wanting them to stay in the palace for two days after returning.

Madam Gu was also reluctant to part with Ye Xiaoran, so she nodded in agreement.

Miao Miao loves to play and is curious about everything around her. When she sees something she doesn't recognize, she bites her hand and stares at it intently.

Seeing how adorable the baby was, Ye Xiaoran knew that the mother and daughter had something to talk about, so he said to Miaomiao, "Uncle has a lot of fun and interesting things over there. Miaomiao, would you like to come with Uncle to see them?"

Miao Miao opened her round, almond-shaped eyes and nodded without thinking, "Yes!"

Ye Zhuxi was helpless about her daughter's overly familiar manner.

Worried that she would refuse, Ye Xiaoran quickly picked up Miaomiao and said, "You rest here, I'll take Miaomiao to see someone, I'll be back in a bit!"

Ye Zhuxi looked into the man's sincere eyes and smiled: "Don't spoil her too much, or she'll cling to you and never let go."

After Ye Xiaoran took Miaomiao away, Gu Shi grabbed her hand and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"Ruoruo, where have you been all these years? I can't find you anywhere. And Miaomiao, why is she called that?"

When Ye Zhuxi thought back on the past few years, she felt only a daze. She simply told her mother a brief account without going into details.

After hearing this, Madam Gu touched her somewhat thin face with heartache: "I'm sorry you've had to go through all this!"

Ye Zhuxi shook her head: "Mother has been suffering these past few years. She couldn't find me and must have been very worried!"

After chatting for a while, Madam Gu noticed that her hands were cold and told her to go to bed and lie down for a while, assuring her that the Emperor would take good care of Miao Miao.

Ye Zhuxi did as she was told and went into the room. As soon as she closed the door, a figure appeared behind her. The man hugged her from behind, his handsome face pressed tightly against her neck, and his urgent voice sounded behind her.

"Ruoruo, I miss you so much!"
