Su Ying turned around, only to see the father and daughter fis.h.i.+ng earnestly behind her.

She frowned slightly. Could it be that her senses were wrong?

When the sun began setting, Xiao Jin put away the fis.h.i.+ng rods and prepared to go back to enjoy the fruits of his hard work that afternoon.

After playing for the entire afternoon, the two children were also hungry. After returning to Conjugal Phoenix Palace, they did some simple was.h.i.+ng up and then sat on the chairs obediently, waiting to be fed.

Uncle Hea complied with Su Ying’s request. After processing the fish head, he used it to cook a dish of spicy and appetizing chopped chili fish head. When the fish head was served, Su Ying could smell the pungent fragrance of the chili from afar.

Su Ying couldn’t handle food that was too spicy, but she couldn’t help drooling when she smelled this aroma.

The two little ones couldn’t eat spicy food, so Uncle Hea made them some boiled fish. The fish was smooth, tender, and without bones. The two little ones ate it very happily.

After eating her fill, even Su Ying’s burps contained the smell of choking spiciness.

“Your Majesty, Your Imperial Highness, Lord Jiang has entered the palace to seek an audience. He says he wanted to ask Your Imperial Highness about his wife’s situation.”

Xiao Jin turned to look at Su Ying. “Lin Zhuyu is in the palace?”

“Mm-hmm. 1 saw that her condition wasn’t too good, so I told her to stay with me for a few days. After the fetus has completely stabilized, she can leave the palace.”

Jiang Yang was a court official, so it was not appropriate for him to enter the Imperial harem’s quarters. Xiao Jin told him to go back first and the palace would arrange a time for him to meet his wife tomorrow.

When she had eaten her fill, Su Ying went to the back courtyard to check on Lin Zhuyu.

After taking the medicine and taking a nap, Lin Zhuyu felt much better when she woke up. Previously, she had always felt weak in her limbs and she could barely open her eyes. She was unable to eat anything too, yet now, she felt a little hungry.

“Your Imperial Highness.”

“Feeling better?”

Lin Zhuyu nodded. “Your Imperial Highness is still the best. I feel much better already.”

“Uncle Hea cooked fish with pickled vegetables tonight. I will tell Bai Shuang to bring some over for you to eat.”

Lin Zhuyu nodded. Initially, she thought that the fish might smell fishy, but when Bai Shuang came in with the food, she felt her appet.i.te getting stirred up. She finished up almost the whole plate of fish and even ate a bowl of rice.

Su Ying didn’t let her eat too much. She had been hungry for too long and if she ate too much all of a sudden, it would hurt her stomach.

“Just now, Jiang Yang came over and said that he wanted to ask about your situation. His Majesty sent him away, but in order to make him feel at ease, you still have to personally explain it to him tomorrow.”

Lin Zhuyu frowned slightly and pouted with some displeasure. “I’m not a child anymore. What’s there for him to worry about?”

“Keep pretending. You must be bursting with joy in your heart.” Bai Shuang mercilessly tore apart Lin Zhuyu’s pretentious act.

“I’ll let Bai Shuang accompany you for the next few days. After taking the medicine, you can rest.”

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness.”

When Su Ying returned to the main hall, the two little ones had just walked out of the bathroom. Their bodies were still steaming with warm moisture.

“Mother, let’s go to sleep.”

Su Ying held their hands and led them into the inner hall.

Xiao Jin was sitting by the lantern and going through the memorials. When he saw the trio coming in, he put down the memorial and looked at the two little fellows who were only wearing their inner clothes. He frowned and got up to stand in front of the bed.

“Why aren’t you dressed properly?”

“Father, we’re going to sleep with Mother tonight. You move aside.” Ling felt that Xiao Jin was in the way and pushed him to the side.

Ji also took the opportunity to squeeze through and climb onto the bed.

Xiao Jin’s dark blazing eyes locked onto Su Ying.

Su Ying froze momentarily. She then cleared her throat and said, “It’s been so long since the kids saw me. Let them sleep for a night. Just one night.”

After saying that, she quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down between the two children.

The two little fellows immediately clung firmly to Su Ying, one on each side, and snuggled into her arms.

The veins on Xiao Jin’s forehead bulged a few times. He gave an icy snort and turned around. Then he sat down in front of the desk to continue reading the memorials!

However, he simply couldn’t focus his attention on the memorial. When he finally heard the sound of even breathing coming from the inner hall, he threw the memorial on the desk.

How despicable!

The resentful Emperor walked into the inner hall angrily and carried the two sleeping children away.

Su Ying woke up with a start. She looked at Xiao Jin, who didn’t lie down after carrying the children away. Instead, he was sitting alone by the bed, which made her very puzzled.

“Not sleepy?”

“Not sleepy.” His deep voice was filled with overwhelming resentment.

Su Ying felt that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right. She sat up in the bed. “Xiao Jin, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Jin turned his face to the side and said in an even deeper voice, “I’m worried about state affairs.”

‘What is it that you can’t figure out?”

“Many things!”

Su Ying yawned and rested her chin on his shoulder as she said, “If there’s anything you can’t figure out, just tell me.”

Xiao Jin gave her a side glance. Their eyes met, and their noses almost touched. “You really don’t know?”

Su Ying blinked. She really didn’t know.

As he looked at her increasingly bewildered eyes, Xiao Jin felt powerless and defeated. He gave vent to his frustration and pushed her head away before standing up. “It’s nothing. Go to sleep first.”

Su Ying’s brows knitted so tightly that her foreword almost formed the Roman numeral III. She clearly felt that something was wrong with Xiao Jin’s mood, but this rascal refused to say anything. He was really too much!

“Wait a minute.”

Xiao Jin didn’t turn around. “What is it?”

In the next moment, Xiao Jin felt something being shoved into his hand.

He lowered his head to take a look. It was actually a bangle with strange motifs engraved on it.

“This is a gift for you.”

The gloominess in Xiao Jin’s eyes gradually dissipated, and a bright glint suddenly burst forth.

However, he still tried his best to suppress the corners of his lips that were desperately trying to curl up. “Didn’t you say that you didn’t prepare a gift? Don’t tell me this is something you simply grabbed randomly somewhere at the last minute to deal with me?”

“How can that be? This thing is very important. See this green light? As long as I’m alive, this green light will remain lit. The same principle applies to mine.” Su Ying pulled up her sleeve to reveal an identical bangle on her wrist.

“Mine is the same too. So no matter what happens, as long as you see that the bead on the bangle is still green-lit, it proves that I’m fine.”

Xiao Jin looked at the bangle and felt very puzzled. “This bangle will also display such a characteristic when worn by others?”

“Of course not. It only works on us. These bangles are meant to be used as a pair. Before it loses its function, it will only react to us. Even if you take the bangle off and bring it to someone else, even if the other party dies but you are fine, the green light on the bangle will not change.”

It was not easy for Su Ying to locate this Life Bangle in her interspatial store. It was also the incident where she fell off the dam that made her think of this.

As for the principle behind the bangle, it was way beyond the technology of this era for her to give him a detailed explanation. He only needed to know that it had such a function.

Xiao Jin could no longer suppress the smile in his eyes. He broke into a big smile. “Put it on for me.”

Su Ying opened the bangle and slipped it onto his wrist. “It’s fine even if you get it wet, so you can still wear it even when you’re taking a bath.”

Su Ying fastened the bangle securely on his hand. The two bangles looked exceptionally beautiful when placed side by side.

Xiao Jin looked at their ten interlocked fingers and laughed softly. He then pulled her to lie down on the bed.

“Didn’t you say that you still have state affairs to deal with?”

“Let me deal with some personal matters first..”
