Yueling Temple.
Xiao Jing's mother, the current empress dowager, looked at Li Youcai with a radiant look, her expression full of shock.
Before his death, the late emperor promoted Concubine Yan to be the empress dowager.
But Concubine Yan did not want to stay in the palace, so she stayed in Yueling Temple and practiced Buddhism with her hair uncut.
Pray for the late emperor and the regent.
"Are you serious? Did Xiao'er really react?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Empress Dowager. I saw it with my own eyes. It must be because of the Empress Dowager's blessing that the prince is in great good health."
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with tears and she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Hurry, I need to go back and take a look, get ready quickly."
The moment Xiao Jing saw his mother, he pursed his lips and looked at Li Youcai behind her with a gloomy expression.
Li Youcai tried hard to shrink his head and hid backward, muttering, "You can't see me, you can't see me."
The Queen Mother stepped forward and held Xiao Jing's hand tightly, demanding an answer.
"Xiao'er, is it true? Is it true?"
After sending everyone away, Xiao Jing nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother burst into tears: "Great, great. In this case, what reason do those court officials have to continue supporting the Emperor?"
"Xiao'er, now that you are well, isn't it time for you to marry a princess? If you can have children in front of the emperor, wouldn't it be easier for you to dethrone him?"
"No, I need to go and see which young lady hasn't arranged a marriage yet. I need to do it immediately."
Many thoughts flashed through the Queen Mother's mind.
The emperor and his biological mother had caused them so much misery. If it weren't for her son's illness, how could the throne have fallen into his hands?
How could her Xiao'er have to endure so many rumors at such a young age?
How could I bear so many strange looks?
She doesn't care about the throne, but she can't just watch her enemy sit on the high position.
Xiao Jing grabbed his mother, his eyes flashing with determination.
"Mother, I have already chosen the princess, so there is no need to choose."
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up: "Who? Which lady is it?"
Xu Jinyi was in the mansion, and he couldn't hide it, so Xiao Jing said directly: "Xu Jinyi."
The Queen Mother had practiced in Yueling Temple for many years and was not familiar with the noble ladies in the capital.
But the name Xu Jinyi sounds very familiar.
"Xu? Last name Xu?"
The Queen Mother's eyes widened in astonishment: "The little girl of the Xu family? Isn't that the Emperor's concubine?"
"Are you crazy?!"
Although the Empress Dowager lived in Yueling Temple, she was not completely ignorant of what was happening in the capital.
Isn’t the emperor’s most favored concubine called Xu Jinyi?
"Mother, I only want her!" Xiao Jing's eyes were firm and his tone left no room for doubt.
The Queen Mother wanted to say something, but Xiao Jing's words made her change her mind instantly.
"Mother, I have feelings for her, but not for anyone else. Do you still want to persuade me?"
The Queen Mother opened her mouth slightly and quickly accepted the decision.
"I understand. Anyway, everything the emperor owns now should be yours. If you like her, then take her away from you."
Xiao Jing smiled, he knew his mother would compromise for him: "She is in my house."
The Queen Mother's eyes widened. She didn't expect her son to act so quickly.
Only then did Xiao Jing explain the matter of the assassin clearly.
In an instant, Xu Jinyi had a place in the Queen Mother's heart.
Regardless of whether she was the emperor's woman or not, the fact is that she saved her son.
Xu Jinyi was still unconscious, and Xiao Jing took the Queen Mother to take a look.
The Queen Mother looked at the beautiful Xu Jinyi and finally understood how high her son's standards were and why he had to have her.
"Mother, please stay here and don't go back to Yueling Temple."
The Queen Mother had her own plans: "I want to return to the palace. My sudden return will definitely catch the Emperor off guard and prevent him from knowing what the Concubine is doing outside the palace."
"This will buy you some time to spend with the Imperial Concubine, or even cause him some trouble when you go back."
She has been hiding in Yueling Temple and spent so many years in peace. Now she has to do something for her son.
"No need. What does it matter if I know Yi'er is here? What can I do if I want him?"
The Queen Mother tapped his forehead and said, "You are so stupid! You have to make people stay with you willingly."
"Even if you force her to stay, if she doesn't love you, is it what you want to be with her but have different dreams?"
Xiao Jing pursed his lips, and finally sent someone to send the empress dowager back to the palace.
Then he went to see Xu Jinyi alone.
The doctor said the wound is healing well and he should wake up today. He is using the best medicine.
So Xu Jinyi's complexion now looks much better than yesterday, at least it has some color.
Xiao Jing took a cup of warm water, soaked it with a handkerchief, and touched her lips little by little.
The soft touch like cotton made his heart flutter, and a hint of desire flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the medicine is here." Nanny Wu walked in carrying a bowl of black medicine.
"Well, today the king will take care of it personally, you can go down."
Although it was his first time taking care of someone, Xiao Jing seemed very skilled.
He helped Xu Jinyi up, let her lean on his chest, and put one arm around her waist to prevent her from sliding down.
He held the spoon in one hand and blew on the medicine to cool it down before feeding it to her mouth.
The moment the medicine entered his mouth, Xu Jinyi's face visibly wrinkled into a bitter face.
The medicine was also spit out. Xiao Jing had no time to react before the black medicine flowed down his neck.
Xiao Jing subconsciously wiped it with a handkerchief, and looking at the medicine, Xiao Jing's face suddenly turned red.
Nanny Wu only put a white undershirt on Xu Jinyi, but it didn't fit her well and the collar was very loose.
After this action, the collar opened, and Xiao Jing looked from top to bottom, taking in the beautiful scenery inside.
The body responded honestly.
The soft body in his arms became hot, and Jamel Xiao took a deep breath and calmed his breathing.
With trembling hands, he fixed her collar, then put the medicine into his mouth, blocking her red lips.
Even though he was unconscious, Xu Jinyi was unwilling to swallow the bitter medicine and kept sticking out his tongue to spit it out.
This was really tormenting for Xiao Jing. After feeding him a bowl of medicine, he was already sweating profusely and his breathing was disordered.
The tent under him was erected so high that if you didn't know, you would think he was hiding some weapon.
Xiao Jing stared at the tender and tempting red lips and kissed them punitively.
The bitter taste of the medicine faded away, replaced by a sweet taste, which Xu Jinyi absorbed unconsciously.
After the kiss, Xiao Jing didn't know whether he was punishing her or punishing himself.
He fled the room in a very embarrassed manner, and just as he stepped into his own yard, Xiao Jing almost tripped himself.
The reason was simple: Li Youcai had just witnessed this embarrassing scene.
Li Youcai was very perceptive and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you need to find a clean woman to come down?"
"Get out! Don't disturb me if nothing's wrong." Then he strode into the room.
