Chapter 177
Three days later, when Xiao Jin heard about this incident, she was overjoyed, unexpectedly having the time to drink and watch opera with Liu Meier.

Liu Meier leaned in his arms, and said softly: "The crown prince has been captured, and His Highness's wish will soon come true."

Xiao Jin drank some wine, she was a little drunk at this time, looked at the beauty with spring eyes in her arms, and suddenly laughed: "I don't think you are a good person, you can betray your original master so quickly, you just don't know Will you betray the king?"

Liu Meier was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "What is your Highness talking about? Meier is supported by His Highness now, and she relies on the vines grown by His Highness. Naturally, she is heartbroken to His Highness. How can there be betrayal?"

Xiao Jin stopped laughing, stared at her with a serious expression, Liu Meier was startled, and then she felt relieved when she saw him laughing.

"Okay! With your words, the king can rest assured," Xiao Jin patted her face: "You just stay in this palace well. In the future, when the princess enters the mansion, you should get along well."

Liu Mei'er smiled cleverly, "Yes, the concubine always listens to His Highness."

Now that the crown prince is defeated, we only need to wait for the king of Xiling to bring his troops to Chang'an. Xiao Jin calculated the time to go to the palace, and when the imperial decree is in hand, he can send a letter to the king of Xiling.

There was a eunuch guarding the gate of the palace, and when he saw him coming, he quickly went up to meet him: "Why did His Highness King Jin come at this hour?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jin asked him, "Where's Father?"

The eunuch replied: "Oh, it's unfortunate that your Highness is here, the emperor is taking a nap, can you go to the side hall and wait?"

"Well," Xiao Jin nodded, and turned her head to look at him: "When will father wake up?"

The eunuch thought for a while and replied: "There is still about half an hour."

Emperor Yuan Xia liked to take a nap, usually around two or three hours, but today King Jin came, so he didn't want to neglect, so he had to lead people to the side hall to wait on him.

Inside the bedroom.

Emperor Yuanxia actually didn't sleep. He lay on the bed and looked at the bed curtain above his head, estimating the time when Xiao Yu would return to the city. It was rumored that Xiao Yu was defeated, but he didn't believe it.

Before he became emperor, Xiao Su liked to play with Xiao Yu the most. When Xiao Su forced the palace, he didn't do anything to Xiao Yu. Now it's even more impossible to go to the battlefield.

Xiao Jin's desire to put him under house arrest in the palace and force him to write an imperial decree is simply a dream.

It suddenly occurred to him that Xiao Yan mentioned his marriage contract with Beiguo in front of him a few days ago, and he would have forgotten it if he didn't mention it.

Glancing at the little eunuch next to him, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been more than three hours." The little eunuch replied.

After lying in bed for a while, I got up.

After learning that he got up, Xiao Jin came without saying a word. When Emperor Yuanxia was still wearing his shoes when he entered the bedroom, the two of them just looked at each other.

"You are really good at learning etiquette." Emperor Yuan Xia continued to put on his shoes, glanced at Xiao Jin and said with a smile.

Xiao Jin pretended not to be able to hear the sarcasm, and said, "Father should know why I am here today, right?"

"I don't know." Emperor Yuan Xia shook his head.

Why does he need to know what this rebellious son is doing here?
Xiao Jin didn't look annoyed at him, and waited for him to get dressed before saying: "The queen mother has been locked up for a long time, and it will be my son's birthday in a while."

"Well, I know."

"That's why I hope that the father can relieve the confinement of the mother, and in addition——"

"In addition, you also hope that I will write an imperial decree to pass on the throne to you as a birthday gift." Emperor Yuan Xia looked at him and continued his words.

Xiao Jin's reticence means acquiescing, and that's what he really meant.

The two stood facing each other and were silent for a while, then Emperor Yuanxia burst into laughter: "Xiao Jin, why didn't I realize that you are so naive before?"

"It's not too late for my father to know now. I will give my father half a month. If I haven't seen the imperial decree after half a month, don't blame me for subverting this palace and even the whole Chang'an." Xiao Jin said .

Emperor Yuanxia sneered when he heard this, "Do you have the ability?"

"I'll know if the time comes. What's the rush, father?" Xiao Jin smiled, poured herself a cup of tea, twisted the rim of the cup, and looked at him with a half-smile, her eyes narrowed slightly. It is greed.

What else did the two of them say in the end, after Xiao Jin left, Emperor Yuan Xia set his eyes on the cup of tea, walked over and fell to the ground, it was a waste to drink such good tea for him.

The wife outside listened to the sound of porcelain breaking and rushed in to find someone to clean it up.

"Why is the emperor so angry? I knew that King Jin's actions would be fruitless, so I can't be so angry." The eunuch made him a new cup of tea and handed it to him.

Emperor Yuanxia took a sip, sighed and said, "The son I raised didn't realize that he has such ambitions."

"Your Majesty is merciful. Didn't the Emperor confer the title of King Xiling back then because of his brotherhood?" The eunuch rubbed his shoulders: "If the Eighth Prince marries the Northern Kingdom, then Yuan Xia will have another ally."

"You mean the marriage has to be done early?" Emperor Yuan Xia looked at him and asked.

The eunuch smiled and said nothing, his meaning was already obvious.

……

Winter has passed and spring has come, but this spring is already halfway through. Ning Jinsi's illness lasted the whole spring. Although she recovered, she was like a flower in the wind, and she might be blown down one day.

"My new prescription, you can try it and see how it works." Shen Zhou came in with a bowl of soup and handed it to her.

Ning Jinsi looked at him and shook her head: "Don't drink, it's bitter."

Her tone was soft, sounding like she was being coquettish.

Shen Zhou looked at her and frowned: "No, His Highness will be back at the beginning of autumn. It would be painful to see you like this."

He tried to persuade her, insisting on letting her drink it, and passed the medicine bowl in front of her again.

After hearing this, Ning Jinsi finally picked up the medicine bowl and drank it. As soon as she drank Shen Zhou, she gave her a piece of sour plum and stuffed it into her mouth.

There was a breeze blowing outside, Ning Jinsi put on her clothes and walked to the door, Shen Zhou followed her with a bowl in his hand and told her: "Don't blow the wind, you just recovered, be careful of the wind and cold."

Ning Jinsi nodded, leaning against the door frame and looking into the distance.

Mingyue took care of Suisui in the General's Mansion, and when she heard that Ning Jinsi was ill, she came to take care of her. Seeing her standing at the door in a panic, she hurried into the house to get a thin cloak.

"Miss, what are you doing standing at the door? Your Highness will be back soon, don't worry, miss."

Ning Jinsi shook her head and said nothing. She didn't know if she would survive until Xiao Yu came back. She only hoped that he could come back in autumn and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with him.

Mingyue did not speak, stood behind her, and looked out the window with her.

Everything grows in spring, but those who died last winter can never live again.
-
As Xiao Jin's birthday approached, the imperial concubine was released from the confinement, but Emperor Yuan Xia still didn't write the imperial decree, no matter how intimidating and tempting Xiao Jin was, he would not write. He is the emperor, unless the other party puts a knife on his neck!
