Chapter 96 He Still Believes Her
The next morning, Xiao Jin got up to go to court. He didn't want to wake up Mei'er and got out of bed gently. As soon as she took off her pajamas, Mei'er hugged him from behind like a prank.
"Why don't you sleep more?"
Mei'er got out of bed, "Aren't you still sick? I'll take care of you."
Xiao Jin reached out to touch his forehead. It was no longer hot, but he muttered, "The head is indeed a bit hot."
Mei'er ordered the maid to call warm water, and personally served Xiao Jin to wash up. After taking court clothes from the hanger and putting them on for Xiao Jin. When Xiao Jin saw her petite figure busy for himself, he felt mixed feelings for a while. He grabbed her little hand and stared at her and asked, "What did they say to you when you were caught by them that day?"
After Mei'er was fascinated by Jiu Niang, she was still sleeping. After waking up, she and Li Rong had not said a few words to her and Xiao Jin rescued her with someone. Mei'er had no idea that there was such a dispute between Princess Li.
Mei'er blinked, "That Jiu Niang talks about money the most. I guess she wanted to get some money from me when she kidnapped me. I directly refused her. If she wanted money, there was no way..."
Xiao Jin interrupted: "What else did they say to you?"
"When I woke up, the man told me something messy, and I can't remember it very clearly."
She didn't want to admit it anymore! Xiao Jin's face looked surprisingly ugly.
"By the way, the man said I was his long-lost sister."
Xiao Jin paused and held Mei'er's wrist tightly, "Do you know who that person is?"
Mei'er shook her head and muttered, "He and Jiu Niang are in the same group, right? She said it was my brother and wanted to come and ask me for money."
Xiao Jin looked at her innocent big eyes, and his heart was filled with gloom, but he still believed her.
Yesterday, Lirong said that she had been lost since childhood, so she should not know her origin. The Jiuniang in Mei'er's mouth should be a detailed work of the Southern Wei Dynasty. Xiao Jin just couldn't understand why she had kidnapped Mei'er, and since she had kidnapped Mei'er, she was letting her fall into Lirong's hands. Could it be that Mei'er was saved by Lirong from Jiuniang, but why did Jiuniang capture Mei'er?
Xiao Jin was full of confusion and leaned over and kissed Mei'er's forehead, "It's not peaceful outside these days. Don't go out, stay in the mansion honestly."
Mei'er also learned a lesson when she was captured this time. She used to take people to the streets with a lot of money to sweep goods. This time she was captured because she was too rich in daily life. Mei'er nodded obediently at Xiao Jin, "I understand, I won't go anywhere now."
Xiao Jin smiled and shaved her little nose, "So good."
Mei'er jumped and strangled on Xiao Jin like a gecko, and put his arms around his neck, "I heard that I disappeared a few days ago, which made you very anxious."
Xiao Jin held her waist with one hand and fiddled with her cloud-like hair with the other, "I'm missing my wife, how can I not be in a hurry?"
Mei'er kissed him heavily, "Aren't I back?"
Xiao Jin looked at her with a complicated expression and asked, "Do you never leave me?"
When Xiao Jin was with Mei'er, he always patted his chest and said, "Only I can deserve you in the world." Such arrogant words have been abnormal since last night and are always worried about gains and losses. Mei'er wondered, and her little hand touched his forehead, "It's not hot anymore. Why do I think you've been a little weird after you came back yesterday? You always say some inexplicable words."
Now that Emperor Yongxi is seriously ill, he did not let any prince take over the government affairs, but instead ordered the left prime minister to take over the government affairs. The left prime minister has been taking over Chu Zhong and remained neutral. Emperor Yongxi asked him to take over the government affairs. It can be seen that it is still unknown who the crown prince fell to.
Although Xiao Jin was the most popular, Concubine Li favored the harem for many years and secretly arranged many close friends in the court. Now that the throne has not been decided, Emperor Yongxi has been serving Concubine Li and Xiao Mu since he was seriously ill, it is inevitable that people will speculate that Xiao Jin suddenly announced his visit yesterday, which made people feel even more volatile.
As soon as the court meeting was halfway through, the Li Party pointed the signs at the Li Crown. For a moment, the Li Party members raised their troops to establish Xiao Mu as the crown prince.
How could the old ministers who supported Xiao Jin tolerate them being presumptuous? Lord Zhang, the chief minister of the cabinet, said angrily: "Mu Wang is of the blood of Li Kingdom. Li Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty have an irreconcilable hatred. What qualifications does Mu Wang have to inherit the Great Order?"
Lord Li, the right prime minister led by the Li Concubine Party, laughed and looked at Xiao Jin and said, "Although there is a rift between Li and the Great Zhou, Li has been wiped out now. Even the King of Jin can take the woman of Li as the main concubine. Why should Lord Zhang be so stubborn?"
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar. The old ministers who killed Xiao Jin's grandfather, Emperor Yongkang, and the old ministers who followed Emperor Yongkang to conquer the world were so angry that they hated Li people to the core. This is also the main reason why they spared no effort to support Xiao Jin in suppressing Concubine Li and King Jin over the years. Now that they heard that Xiao Jin married Li Nu, how could these old ministers not be shocked?
Lord Zhang was so angry that his beard shook three times, "Li Xiang, don't be polite!"
Li Xiang smiled slightly, "The Li girl married by the King of Jin is the princess of Li Kingdom. I heard that there is a plum blossom mark on the arms of the daughter of the royal family of Li Kingdom. This mark changes color when it is hot, and it will never be fake." As he said, he said to everyone in the court: "If you don't believe it, why not invite the Princess of Jin to test it in person!"
"Random!" Xiao Jin's face turned pale. He had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his solemn murderous aura was really scary when he was extremely angry.
With Xiao Jin's order, no one in the court dared to make a sound. Xiao Jin slowly walked to the hall and looked around the people in the court. His sharp eyes swept over Li Xiang. If his eyes could kill people, Li Xiang would probably have been lingchi at this moment.
