Xiao Jin’s eyes turned red-rimmed. “I can’t bear to part with you.”
If Su Ying returned to Sky Alpha City, notwithstanding the long time it would take for her to make the trip back and forth, he wouldn’t be able to know immediately if she encountered any danger there. What had happened before had left him with lingering fear. He was afraid. He was afraid to experience the pain of losing her again.
Xiao Jin’s expression was extremely similar to Ji’s when he was being stubborn with her. It really made her want to bully him ruthlessly!
“It’s not like I’m not coming back.”
“I’m worried.” Xiao Jin hugged her and refused to let go.
Now that Xiao Jin was gradually getting a firm grasp of the political situation in the Chu State, Su Ying had nothing to worry about. She also believed that Xiao Jin had the ability to protect the two children, so she was not worried about leaving.
The problem was how to pacify the two children and this adult.
“I’m the City Lord of Sky Alpha City. People are stepping all over me now. How can I ignore them? Moreover, I can take an extra day out to visit Kun City on my way there and see if Su Yulun is truly dead.
Xiao Jin continued to hug her without saying a word. He didn’t let go even after
Su Ying had finished talking.
Su Ying was annoyed. “Then stop being the Emperor and come with me.” “Sure. I’ll get Zhang Shuming to pack my things.” After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he summoned Zhang Shuming into the hall and actually instructed him to prepare for his trip.
Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin had really gone crazy.
“Get out,” Su Ying barked.
Zhang Shuming looked at Su Ying in astonishment and then at the determined Xiao Jin. Even though he knew how to read people’s moods, he still couldn’t figure out what His Majesty and Her Imperial Highness were thinking for a moment.
“Where is Your Majesty going? Your servant will make the arrangements at
once.”
“He’s not going anywhere. Get out.”
Zhang Shuming quickly added, “Yes, sure. Your servant will get lost now.” Although he didn’t know what was going on between the Emperor and the Empress, if he continued to stay there, he would definitely become innocent cannon fodder. In any case, if the Emperor was unhappy, the Empress could still stand up to him, but they, the servants, couldn’t.
“Zhang Shuming!” Xiao Jin hollered.
For the first time ever, Zhang Shuming fearlessly pretended not to hear Xiao
Jin and closed the hall doors straightaway.
-Why are you making things difficult for him?” Su Ying pulled Xiao Jin back to his chair.
“Half a year. I’ll be back in half a year at most,” she added.
Xiao Jin’s eyes turned even more red-rimmed. “Half a year!
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “Xiao Jin, don’t push your luck.
Xiao Jin pursed his lips and stormed out.
Su Ying frowned but didn’t say anything.
How willful!
Xiao Jin’s reaction made Su Ying a little upset.
During dinner at night, not only did Xiao Jin not appear, but the two little ones were also missing.
This was really…
Su Ying felt that she couldn’t hold back her fiery temper any longer.
She got up and walked to the room of the two little ones. As soon as she entered, she could clearly feel the oppressive pressure.
The trio of father and two kids were sitting on the chairs without saying a word. When she came in, all three of them raised their heads in unison and looked at her resentfully before looking away. They resumed staring at the table blankly.
The anger deep in Su Ying’s heart instantly dissipated.
She came to the table and picked up Ji and Ling. The two little fellows immediately threw themselves into her arms and hugged her tightly.
Su Ying’s heart softened even more.
“Be good. Mother will be back soon.”
“I want to be with Mother. Sob, sob, sob, sob…” Ling burst into tears with a loud wail.
Ji also began sobbing softly.
“Must you go?” Xiao Jin knew that he would definitely get an affirmative answer, but he still refused to give up and asked again.
“Mm-hmm. I must go.”
“I’ll send 10,000 elite soldiers with you. If other kingdoms join in, the people in Sky Alpha City alone won’t be enough to resist their forces.”
Ten thousand people… Su Ying still had to take care of their food and accommodation along the way. She found it both troublesome and costly.
“1,000 is enough. I don’t need that many people.
“1,000 is too little.”
”10,000 is too many. I only want 1,000. If you don’t agree, I won’t bring a single one.”
Xiao Jin could only agree. “Send me a letter every day.”
“Alright.”
“If there’s danger, you can’t be the first to charge forward.”
Su Ying answered smoothly, “No problem.”
“Mother, are you going to look for Teacher Chu and the others?” Ling asked through her sobbing as she lifted her head from Su Ying’s shoulder.
“Yes, they encountered some trouble. Mother must go and take a look. “Mother must come back soon. I will miss Mother very, very much,” Ling emphasized.
“Sure. Mother will definitely come back as soon as possible. Both of you must be obedient in the palace and not wander around, understand?
“I know, Mother.”
Su Ying had promised Xiao Jin to bring 1,000 soldiers to Sky Alpha City. She requested that it was best if these soldiers had no parents and had nothing to worry about in the capital city. Xiao Jin instructed his men to do as she said.
“Zhou Qing, send someone out of the palace tomorrow to pass a message to Bai Shuang. Tell her to come into the palace. I have something to ask her.”
“Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”
The next morning, the messenger arrived at the courtyard house where Si Chen was settled. After Bai Shuang received the message, she immediately followed the messenger back to the palace.
-Your servant greets Your Imperial Highness.” When she saw Su Ying, Bai Shuang could not hide the joy on her face.
“Hmm? I sent you out of the palace to serve other people as punishment. Why do you look a little more rounded than before?”
The smile on Bai Shuang’s face froze, and she looked at Su Ying with a pitiful expression. “Your Imperial Highness, please calm down. I… I didn’t eat much…” “Just two more bowls of rice than usual?
Bai Shuang choked and lowered her head somewhat guiltily. She would never admit that she deliberately ate so much because Si Chen said that she would look better with a little flesh on her face.
“Your Imperial Highness, I know my mistake. I beg Your Imperial Highness to give me another chance and let me return to the palace to serve Your Imperial Highness.”
“You won’t have the chance anymore,” Su Ying said with a raised brow and an ambiguous expression.
Bai Shuang’s face turned pale. “I ask you. Are you willing to marry Si Chen?” Su Ying continued.
Bai Shuang was taken aback, and then her face turned bright red. Su Ying already knew her thoughts without waiting for her reply. “Your Imperial Highness, your servant only wishes to return to serve you. Although she had been very happy and relaxed when she was with Si Chen during this period, at night she would often think of the times when she was by Su Ying’s side. If she had a choice, she would still want to return to the palace to serve Su Ying.
“You mean you don’t like him?”
Bai Shuang stammered for a long time before uttering softly, “I like him. I like him a little. But if I have to leave Your Imperial Highness because of this, then I’m not willing.”
Of course, Su Ying knew about Bai Shuang’s feelings for her. In reality, she was also not used to Bai Shuang not being by her side during this period.
However, all good things must come to an end. As long as the other party was doing well, Su Ying would have nothing to worry about.
“I’m preparing to leave the capital city. If you’re willing to marry him, I’ll settle the matter between the two of you before I leave the capital city.” She did not know how long she would be gone for this trip. Although she had promised Xiao Jin that she would return in half a year, no one could say for sure whether accidents would happen. She wanted to see Bai Shuang get married with her
own eyes..
