“Granny Li, find a good doctor in the countryside to treat her. She is my sister, and she cannot die. As for the rules there, they must be followed.”
"Yes, I understand."
Song Lingxi finally avenged her great enemy, but she felt no joy at all; instead, she felt empty.
"Song Lingxi, you deserve to die! How could you come up with such a vicious way to torture me? You deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated!"
In an instant, Song Lingyu plummeted from heaven to hell, screaming in despair, her heart filled with venomous hatred for Song Lingxi, her words filled with filth and profanity.
"Who is this person who dares to insult the Empress? Cut out his tongue."
Xiao Jin had just finished the morning court session when he encountered Song Lingyu, who was going crazy and cursing his Xi'er incessantly. His anger flared up instantly!
"Your Majesty, please save this humble subject! The Empress has been disregarding human life; this humble subject had no choice!"
Song Lingyu struggled to break free from Granny Li, crawled to Xiao Jin's side, grabbed his clothes as if he were a lifeline, and pleaded desperately.
With tears in her eyes, she wanted to show her beautiful and radiant self, but she overlooked her disheveled appearance and emaciated figure, which made her look even more unsightly.
"Are you all dead? Pull her away from me!"
Xiao Jin was furious. He kicked the woman away, his face flashing with cold light. He was so angry that he wanted to tear her to pieces.
The other servants stepped forward and subdued Song Lingyu together. Only after they had taken her away and out of sight did Xiao Jin's expression improve.
Song Lingxi quickly stepped forward and used her soft little hands to soothe Xiao Jin's emotions. After a while, Xiao Jin calmed down.
"Who is she, daring to be so disrespectful to you? I will make her suffer a terrible death!"
The longer Xiao Jin spent with Song Lingxi, the more inseparable he became from her. He didn't even dare to say a harsh word to her. Suddenly, when he heard someone cursing recklessly, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Why is Your Majesty so angry? She is the one I was talking about. She will be trapped in the largest brothel in the capital for the rest of her life. If Your Majesty is still angry, just have someone pull out her tongue."
Song Lingxi showed no remorse. She was giving him a taste of his own medicine. She was no saint; in this life, she was here for revenge!
"Yes, Xi'er did the right thing."
Xiao Jin nodded. After being comforted by Song Lingxi, Xiao Jin's irritable emotions had calmed down.
He pinched Song Lingxi's cheek and saw that she looked very happy, which made him quite pleased as well.
"Let's not talk about her anymore. News came from the border today that our army has achieved a great victory, annihilating 30,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop, while our army only lost 5,000 soldiers. It can be described as a great victory!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. However, the families of those five thousand soldiers should also be comforted. They risked their lives on the battlefield, hoping to secure a better future for their families."
Song Lingxi knew that the world was in a state of division and constant warfare. If you didn't want to fight, other countries would attack you. Therefore, war was inevitable.
But she couldn't help feeling a little sad. He was just an ordinary soldier, who might have been someone's son, someone's husband, someone's father, and a family was destroyed just like that.
Song Lingxi could only do her best to persuade Xiao Jin and comfort his family.
"That's natural. In that case, let's just double the amount according to the previous system of compensation. Not only will there be compensation, but also rewards. As long as they win a battle, I will reward them."
Xiao Jin also wanted to unify the entire dynasty. His father and grandfather had been working towards this goal for generations. Xiao Kingdom was the largest country in terms of territory, which was already a great advantage.
He also wanted to create an unprecedented golden age for his son, and Xiao Junlin, being conservative by nature, was the perfect candidate to maintain the status quo.
As for Xiao Beizhan, once he grows up, he will no longer have to fight in the east and west like Xie Changling. He can just lead troops and train in the military camp, and at least he won't have to worry about his safety.
Just then, a lively children's voice rang out from outside the door. Ever since Song Lingxi returned, the two little rascals had returned to their usual liveliness, chattering incessantly.
"Father, Mother, your son misses you so much!"
"Me too, I want to as well."
Xiao Junlin and Xiao Beizhan held hands and, like swallows returning to their nest, skipped and hopped towards them.
Upon arriving, they all unanimously chose Song Lingxi, rushing one after another into her arms, nuzzling her with their little heads and acting coquettishly.
Xiao Jin looked at the mother and her children with a smile on his face. He never thought that he would have such a loving person in his life, surrounded by his children, living a warm and harmonious life.
The higher one climbs, the colder it gets. How many emperors throughout history have achieved perfection? But Xiao Jin is so fortunate; he has already achieved perfection.
Sunlight streamed into the hall, mingling with the children's laughter, freezing time and forever etching itself into their memories.
