Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

Chapter 197 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (76)

Beside him, Xiao Beizhan was also lying obediently, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, with his little body always arching against Xiao Jin's back.

"Father, Father, are you asleep?"

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Jin turned his head and looked at Xiao Beizhan on the other side. He thought Xiao Beizhan also wanted a hug, so he stretched out his other arm.

"Father, when will mother come back? I miss her."

Xiao Beizhan climbed onto Xiao Jin's shoulder, rested his little face on his chest, blinked his exceptionally bright big eyes, and just looked at him straight, making his heart melt.

However, Xiao Jin had been avoiding thinking about this issue. He heard from his subordinates that Xie Changling had taken Xier away, and Xier was still taking traditional Chinese medicine at that time.

Until late at night, Xie Changling still hadn't brought Xier back, and the result was self-evident.

What is this? Is this my retribution?

Xiao Jin felt bitter inside, but he couldn't show it in front of the children. Especially since these two little ones were extremely smart, he couldn't let them see any clues.

Thinking of this, he pinched Xiao Beizhan's little nose with an intimate gesture and gentle movements.

"Go to sleep quickly. The palace is dangerous these days, and we need to re-arrange the staff. Father is afraid that your mother is in danger, so he arranged for her to live outside the palace for a few days."

"Oh, Father is right. Mother needs our protection. Moreover, when I grow up, I will protect her and Father!"

Xiao Beizhan waved his little fists vigorously, his little face was tense and he looked very serious.

Xiao Jin originally had some sour feelings, but they were temporarily suppressed and were easily healed by Xiao Beizhan.

He thought, let it be. Xier was originally snatched from him by him. He was always uneasy and worried, and he wanted to kill Xie Changling directly.

Because he always had a premonition that if he didn't deal with Xie Changling at that time, Xie Changling would always come back again and take his Xier away.

Now that the two of them are really together again, he feels like everything has settled and he accepts it calmly.

Moreover, the generals in the court have suffered heavy casualties, so Xie Changling can only occupy Xier for a few days. After he has rested in the palace, he will send him out to lead the troops to fight.

When Xiao Jin thought of this, he suddenly felt relieved. He was the king and Xie Changling was the minister. As a general, it was Xie Changling's responsibility to defend the country.

Just send people out. The northern country, southern border, and various nomadic tribes will definitely not be taken down in less than ten or twenty years. Are you still worried that Xie Changling will not have enough troops to fight?

Thinking this way, Xier is still mine.

Xiao Jin felt completely balanced. He was not afraid that Xie Changling would take the opportunity to seize his kingdom. Otherwise, let alone Xier, these two little guys would be enough to make him suffer.

Father and son killed each other. I believe Xie Changling doesn't want such a thing to happen to him!

"Okay, go to sleep. If you want to protect your father and mother, I will find you a master tomorrow to teach you martial arts. Now, you should rest early."

"Okay, Father, it's a deal!"

Only then did Xiao Beizhan feel satisfied. He clung tightly to Xiao Jin and fell into a deep sleep.

The sound of even breathing came from Xiao Jin's ears. He looked at the two little rosy faces sleeping on the left and right, and a warm current gradually flowed into his icy heart.

Even though he had figured it out, Xiao Jin still couldn't sleep all night.

Too many things happened today. His most trusted minister was killed, and his mother was also... Li Peicong and others who had served him for a long time, it was a pity that it was useless to think about it anymore.

The dead cannot be resurrected, so he can only remember the lesson today so as not to repeat the same mistake in the future.

No sleep for one night.

……

Ten days had passed, and Xiao Jin had already completed the layout of the palace, regrouped the palace servants, and trained his confidants.

Although none of them are as good as Li Peicong, fortunately they are on the right track.

The empress dowager's coffin has also been buried in the imperial mausoleum. It is now midsummer, and if we delay any further, I am afraid that my mother, who loves cleanliness, will make a fuss.

Xiao Jin collapsed from exhaustion right after the empress dowager was buried with great ceremony. He was mentally exhausted and overthinking, and it took him several days of rest before he recovered.

Xiao Jin thought he wouldn't feel anything, but he was still sick for several days and was almost bedridden due to mental illness.

He didn't want to punish her daughter in front of her mother, so the eldest princess is still alive, which means she is crazy.

Now that the Queen Mother has been buried, it is time to deal with her...

The Imperial Court of Justice.

dungeon.

The sound of dripping water, accompanied by the occasional appearance of rats, has driven the princess crazy.

She faced Xiao Heng's corpse every day. Due to the hot weather, maggots had grown on it and it emitted a foul stench.

The eldest princess felt sorry for her son at first, but later she went crazy and cursed him every day, until finally she didn't even have the energy to curse.

She was now huddled in the corner, with disheveled hair, looking crazy, talking nonsense, and looking out of her mind.

Two people came and took her away without saying a word. The princess did not resist at all and acted as if she knew nothing.

When she was brought in front of Xiao Jin, she still looked silly and crazy, just like a real lunatic.

Xiao Jin didn't care whether she was really crazy or pretending to be crazy. He only knew that the person in front of him was worse than a beast and dared to kill even his own mother, so she must be responsible for what she had done.

"Imperial sister, long time no see. I won't say anything else. I just want to ask you, how did you kill our mother?"

Xiao Jin saw her eyes rolling around, and then she smiled, clapped her hands, and sang a song as if she heard nothing.

The song they sang was the one their mother used to sing to put them to sleep when they were young. It was this song that made Xiao Jin feel heartbroken over and over again. Every time he thought of it, he felt as if he would rather die than live.

"enough!"

Xiao Jin's hand slammed on the table with a "bang", successfully breaking the corner of the table. One can't help but imagine how painful it would be if this punch hit a person.

The eldest princess shrank involuntarily, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, which was caught by Xiao Jin.

"You are indeed pretending to be crazy and stupid. Why do you think I can let you go just by pretending to be crazy and stupid?"

"Hahahahaha, Xiao Jin, you are so cruel. You watched Xiao Heng grow up, and you killed him without hesitation!"

The eldest princess stopped pretending. She laughed until tears came out of her eyes. Her face was stained with mud and her hair was messy. There was no trace of the glory of the princess in the past.

She never intended to deceive Xiao Jin. She just didn't want to face the rotten Xiao Heng. She didn't want to face the reality and only wanted to indulge in her own fantasy.

After the eldest princess laughed crazily, she looked at Xiao Jin's angry face and said, "My mother deserves to die. She doesn't care about her daughter at all. All she cares about is you!"

She thought back to her childhood. Ever since Xiao Jin was born, she had never felt the warmth of her mother's arms again.

"Tsk, that biased old thing, Heng'er is obviously her grandson, but she refuses to help us kill those two little bastards. If that's the case, then I'll take the initiative."

"You don't know, that old man was calling your name before he died, it's a pity that you couldn't hear anything!"

The princess became more and more excited as she spoke, and she seemed to think of the scene at that time, and laughed heartily: "Hahahahahaha, damn it!"

Xiao Jin clenched his fists, and all the muscles in his body were tense. The scene described by the eldest princess emerged in his mind. How desperate would his mother be?

"You are worse than an animal. I will torture you to death!"

"If you have the guts, just give me a quick death!"

The eldest princess was gasping for breath. She didn't want to live anymore, but she also didn't want to die in such pain. She deliberately angered Xiao Jin just to get a quick death.

But Xiao Jin was even more cruel than she had imagined. She didn't get the pleasure she wanted, but it made Xiao Jin more determined to torture her.

Xiao Jin paused and said again: "Wait!"

The eldest princess thought that Xiao Jin had changed his mind and looked expectant, but the next moment, she was struck by lightning.

Because Xiao Jin ordered: "Let her suffer all the eighteen tortures before being executed by slow slicing. Remember, she must be kept alive."

The newly promoted captain of the guards received the order and took the man away, but the eldest princess refused. She started yelling and didn't care about anything else. She couldn't stand any torture.

She finally felt scared and begged loudly. She had no more shame and kept kowtowed until her head was bulging.

"Xiao Jin, Your Majesty, I beg you, please give me a quick death!"

"My mother also begged you in the same way, so what did you say?"

Xiao Jin became even more hateful. He looked at the eldest princess, who was obviously his biological sister from the same mother, but she wanted to kill him and even refused to let his mother go.

"If you can bring my mother back to life, I will give you the throne, so what?"

Xiao Jin's words instantly made the eldest princess' face pale. She should have thought of this day earlier. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. She has no regrets. The only thing she regrets is that she didn't die earlier.

After the captain of the guards dragged the man away, the entire court returned to its previous calm and deathly silence.

Xiao Jin stood there for a long time, looking in the direction of Shoukang Palace. After a while, he let out a leisurely sigh.

Mother, I wonder if you are satisfied with the outcome of my son's treatment. It can be considered as revenge for you.

……

After that day, Xiao Jin devoted himself to palace affairs, concentrated on handling state affairs, inquired about the brothers' homework, and checked their martial arts.

It wasn't until one day when the eldest princess was executed by lingchi and the servants reported the news that Xiao Jin's anger finally dissipated.

He looked at the news coming from the border and thought, it's time, it's time to invite the mandarin ducks from Qingshan Temple back.

"The Northern Kingdom has joined forces with the Great Jin Tribe to fight again. Xie Changling, it's time for you to serve me."

Xiao Jin muttered to himself as he looked at the piles of secret letters on the table, all of which were news about Qingshan Temple.

When he thought of Song Lingxi, whom he would soon meet again, his depressed mood finally improved a little.

"Xi'er..."
