Cunning General Si Ning

First, it started with series of muffled voices that was making Si Ning's head ring that he was forced to have no other choice than to listen to who dares disturbed his sleep only for the voices to become louder.

"....what do we do?"

"We should leave General for now."

The series of conversation was drifting into Si Ning's ears and which each word spoke was making his headbang that the banging started to increase but he was too sleepy to bother about it even though all he wanted was just strength to yell once for them to get out so he could continue sleeping without disturb.

"...but do you think that is wise?"

That was it, Si Ning had heard enough and he wasn't going to just lay back anymore because it was his room and someone coming in to discuss and disturb his peace was out of place.

Get out!

"That is all we can do."

I said Get out!

Si Ning realised he had been talking in his head and no one could hear him but for him to say it out loud seemed impossible because he couldn't open his mouth to talk since he was feeling so sleepy that he prayed silently for the people in his room to leave.

Through their discussion, Si Ning detected it was just Jiang Ye and Ah Dai in his room but he couldn't understand why they choose to discuss in his room. He could see that they had tried to wake him due to their conversation but it doesn't seem important so Si Ning decided to go back to sleep and tune them out.

When Si Ning was about to fall into a deep sleep, the door opened and he could hear someone approaching due to the heavy footsteps even though they seemed to be careful with each step to avoid making noise but Si Ning knew that person came in to disturbed his sleep and this made him more annoyed that if he wasn't trying to sleep he would have been yelling for them to go out, instead of telling them to leave, Si Ning took a deep breath and started drifting off to sleep.

"Xiao Pei, I have tried to wake Young Master up several time and I don't think it's best to leave him, I don't want Young Master to be questioned for not attending the court meeting and..."

Court Meeting!!!

Si Ning flung his eyes opened and turned sharply before sitting up that his sudden movement made Ah Dai stopped in mid-sentence as he whipped his head to Si Ning's direction along with Jiang Ye and Xiao Pie who was standing beside Si Ning's bed.

The words 'Court meeting' kept ringing on Si Ning's head and due to the light coming in through his window, nobody had to tell him that he was late for the court assembly because it was bright outside. Si Ning tried to stand up immediately only for him to fall back to a sitting position on the bed and held his forehead as a headache started to build up. His heart fell, knowing this was a big problem to him because he was supposed to attend the court meeting and it was very bright outside which means he must have missed a great deal of the meeting but he could still attend and find some excuse for coming late.

"Oh... Oh..." Si Ning tried to move again, to get out of bed only for him to cry as he sat so still to reduce the banging in his head stretching his neck forward with his back hunched over.

"Young Master!" Ah Dai called before jumping to his side stretching out his hand to grab the bowl of the hangover soup he made and brought to the room, waiting for Si Ning to wake up. 

"Ouch." Si Ning placed his left hand on top of his right hand on his forehead.

"Young Master here, it will help you." Ah Dai quickly grabbed the spoon on the table and scooped some and without blowing on it since the soup was only a little warm, He pointed it to Si Ning's mouth to feed him.

Xiao Pei standing at the side quickly grabbed a cup and poured water into it then gave it to Si Ning which he drank at once and gave the cup back to Xiao Pei.

Si Ning frowned as he looked around the room he remembered going to Song Feng's small banquet but he couldn't remember anything more than that. It wasn't important so he could try to think about the details later but first, he had to go to the court meeting. To recover fast and to fill his stomach because he was a little hungry, Si Ning opened his mouth letting Ah Dai feed him the soup.

"Elder brother! Elder brother!!"

Si Ning flinched making Ah Dai hand shook but he was able to avoid spilling the soup in the spoon because he hadn't raised it so he steadied his hand before rating it to Si Ning's mouth but Si Ning was busy staring at the door wondering what made Si Nan yell like that. Even though his head was banging seriously that he had to close his eyes to minimise the headache as he sat up straighter then opened his eyes to see Si Nan rushed in, leaving the door wide open to shake him when Si Ning was already sitting up staring at her.

"Young Miss, Young Master have little to drink yesterday night." Ah Dai said as he seemed like he wanted to stop Si Nan that was shaking Si Ning vigorously even though Si Ning seemed like he was about to pass out. 

Xiao Pei that was standing at the side collect the bowl of soup from Ah Dai because Ah Dai looked confused about what to do, either to allow Si Ning to finish his talk with Si Nan or continue feeding him.

"Oh sorry, Elder brother you..." Si Nan said as she sat on the bed, wearing a serious look.

Si Ning cringed as he raised his hand to stop Si Nan from talking because it seemed like her voice was in his ears, he bent trying to cope with the headache as he held his head.

"Excuse me, General."

Uh?

Si Ning only opened his eyes when he noticed the side just right beside him on the bed dipped and before he realised what was going on, Xiao Pei pulled him back gently making Si Ning lean into him and Si Ning was a bit confused about the situation and when he opened his mouth to ask what Xiao Pei was doing. Xiao Pei already placed the tip of the bowl of soup to his mouth, tilting the bowl making the soup flow smoothly into his mouth that Si Ning found himself drinking the soup and Xiao Pei already released him after drinking without a drop left.

Xiao Pei quickly supported Si Ning's back with few pillows to help him sit up properly before stepping back to bow, him being sorry for his rudeness written all over his face.

After some time watching Si Nan looking so eager to say a word, Si Ning doesn't have a choice but to ask what the matter was.

"What is it Si Nan?" Si Ning raised a brow as he rested comfortably on the pillows.

"Elder brother, the Emperor just announced the crowing of the Empress, it is pasted everywhere." Si Nan announced briskly that she almost bit her tongue.

What!
