The Regent's Tender Darling

In the evening, Lin Jiaojiao woke up in a daze. After sitting up, she felt awake. However, there was no one in the room and it was getting dark. It felt like she was isolated from the world.

"Xuemei." She called lazily and rubbed her aching forehead.

Xuemei, who was guarding outside the door, heard the sound and quickly opened the door and walked in.

"Mother, you're awake." Xuemei walked over with a grimace. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood, even a little angry.

Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao felt strange and asked, "What happened?"

After being asked this question, Xuemei seemed to have opened up her chatterbox, and said angrily: "Mother, Qing Tao is so annoying! We just talked about Qin Zhi outside, and you don't even know what Qing Tao said!"

Uh...she didn't know, so she asked, "What did she say?"

Xuemei said angrily: "She said Qin Zhi deserves to die! What a cold-blooded person!"

Seeing that Xuemei was blushing with anger, Lin Jiaojiao was silent for a while, and then asked: "Do you know why Qin Zhi committed suicide?"

Xuemei was obviously taken aback by this question. After she came to her senses, she slowly said, "Because my mother-in-law is seriously ill and my father is a gambler, I can't bear it anymore."

While Xuemei was still speaking, Lin Jiaojiao interrupted: "Qin Zhi poisoned the prince. This alone is a death penalty."

"Ah?" Xuemei obviously didn't react, her eyes widened, and it took her a long time to understand.

No wonder Qing Tao said Qin Zhi deserved to die... So that's what happened.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say. No matter what the reason, murdering others is wrong. This is the truth she learned from the eldest son.

Seeing that Xuemei was silent, Lin Jiaojiao did not continue to say anything. Xuemei must have understood some truth. Her stomach began to growl at this moment, so she said: "I'm hungry."

Xuemei reacted and said quickly: "There is ham and chicken soup simmering on the stove outside. I will bring it to you."

"Um."

…

——The next day.

Lin Jiaojiao woke up earlier. When she opened her eyes, Yan Sihan was still beside her. She cautiously raised her head to look at him, but her slight movement woke the man up.

No wonder she wouldn't lift the quilt when she slept with Yan Sihan, so the slightest movement would wake him up, and she was afraid that the man would notice her just raising her legs.

There was only one dim light in the room, and even his face was hazy. Yan Sihan looked at the person in his arms staring at him with big eyes, and said warmly: "Are you awake?"

"Yes." Lin Jiaojiao responded softly. It was still early, maybe she had never woken up so early before.

Probably because she slept too much yesterday afternoon, she didn't feel sleepy at night. If Yan Sihan hadn't insisted on her sleeping, she would have been able to stay up until most of the night.

"Yan Sihan, can you go to court today?" she asked casually. Although it was still early, it must be time to go to court soon.

She wanted to help him dress and go to court. After all, her mother-in-law had taught her how to do this, but she had never implemented it.

Yan Sihan dotes on her and never wakes her up. She is not restrained by her mother-in-law in the palace, so she doesn't have to get up and serve tea to her mother-in-law like Mrs. Shen.

When she thought of her mother-in-law, she suddenly remembered something. After Yan Sihan became the regent, King Zhennan took his wife and left the capital. After leaving, he never came back.

"I'm not going to court early today, so I'll accompany Jiaojiao to Meichi Pavilion." After saying this, Yan Sihan gently held her in his arms and said, "It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."

For some reason, she, who was not sleepy at all, actually felt sleepy under his gentle pat. After yawning, she stretched out her face and rubbed the crook of his neck and fell asleep again.
