Xiao Ningzi hit himself on the head angrily, then stood up from the bed and looked at her with apologetic eyes.
"It's not your fault. I'm useless. I'm really useless. Xingnan, you go to sleep first. I'm going to the study..."
"You are not allowed to leave."
Xingnan wanted to hold him back, but he had already fled away.
This scene made Xingnan so angry that he started sobbing.
She couldn't understand why it didn't work when she was doing what the Queen said.
Could it be that her husband no longer likes her?
Or does he hate her and doesn't want to touch her anymore?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she was so angry that she threw the quilt on the bed to the ground.
Xiao Ningzi, who came to the study, was also very upset. He couldn't explain what was going on. Anyway, when he saw Xingnan and thought about doing that with her in bed, he would become listless.
He knew that he was not in the right state and that he was doing Xingnan an injustice, but he seemed to have no choice and he could not control himself.
When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of Brother Ling, who shared the same fate with him.
He is probably not on duty today, so he is probably at home now.
Why not go have a drink with him?
Thinking of this, he stood up and left Prince Ning's Mansion.
He was not riding a horse, nor did he bring any followers with him. He just walked towards Xiao Lingzi's house with one hand behind his back, thinking about something.
After years of hard work, Xiao Lingzi is already the father of two children. At this moment, he is watching Fang Qiu feeding the children with a comfortable look.
At this time, the servant's voice came in.
"General Ling, Prince Ning is here."
Hearing this, he looked at Fang Qiu in surprise.
"Why is this kid here?"
Fang Qiu looked up and chuckled.
"You should go check it out. You brothers haven't gotten together for a long time. I guess he misses you."
Xiao Lingzi stood up while shaking his head helplessly and smiling bitterly.
"Yes, since the emperor ascended the throne, we have had too little time together. I'll go check on them. You should take the child to bed early!"
Fang Qiu responded, and Xiao Lingzi pulled his coat off the hanger and put it on. He quickly walked out the door and went straight to the main hall.
At this time, Xiao Ningzi was sitting in the main hall, touching the teacup at hand, with no intention of drinking water.
"Brother Ning, how come you have time to come to my place?"
Hearing Xiao Lingzi's voice, Xiao Ningzi came out of his thoughts, he stood up and clasped his fists to him.
"Brother Ling, long time no see. How are you doing lately? I... I have nothing to do tonight, so I thought I'd ask you out for a drink."
Seeing that Xiao Ningzi was feeling a little lost, Xiao Lingzi gestured for him to sit down and asked in confusion,
"You're newlyweds, and you're not at home with Princess Xingnan. You're out here in the middle of the night. Something must have happened. Did you have a fight with Princess Xingnan?"
When talking about Xingnan, Xiao Ningzi tutted his lips and shook his head vigorously.
"No, Brother Ling, quickly ask the servants to get some wine and food so that the two of us can have a drink."
Xiao Lingzi could tell from Xiao Ningzi's expression that he must be worried about something.
He hurriedly asked the servants to prepare wine and food...
After a while, the two brothers sat at the table, and Xiao Lingzi raised his glass first.
"Brother Ning, since Brother Shuang left, we brothers haven't gathered for a long time. I'm very happy that you can come today. I was thinking that when we have time, we brothers will get together. Otherwise, I almost forgot that I have several brothers who are as close as life and death to me."
Xiao Ningzi raised his glass and clinked it with him, then nodded.
"Okay, when we're free, let's have a good get-together as brothers."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the whole glass of wine.
Xiao Lingzi wanted to persuade him to drink slower, but seeing that his glass was almost empty, he simply stopped trying to dissuade him and started drinking with him.
After three rounds of drinking, seeing that Xiao Ningzi was a little drunk, Xiao Lingzi asked again,
"Did something happen at home?"
Xiao Ningzi held the wine glass in his hand and shook his head vigorously.
"It's okay, nothing can happen to my family."
"You seem to be in a bad mood today. If you have any problem, just tell me. Even if I can't help you solve it, I can still help you find your solution."
Hearing this, Xiao Ningzi suddenly looked up at him.
"Brother Ling, has your illness really been cured by the Queen?"
His illness?
Xiao Lingzi suddenly remembered that he often couldn't sleep at night last month. Once in the military camp, when the emperor was inspecting, he happened to feel sleepy and yawned. After the emperor asked him in detail, he asked the empress to prescribe some tranquilizers for him. After he took them, he miraculously got better.
Thinking of this, he nodded immediately.
"Alright, the Queen is indeed a divine healer, her medicine really worked!"
Seeing Xiao Lingzi speaking so easily, Xiao Ningzi asked again with some shame,
"Then how did you become ill?"
Xiao Lingzi stroked his forehead with one hand, thinking back to what happened last month, and muttered:
"Your sister-in-law Ling had just given birth. Because the baby was so young, she cried all night long. The baby bothered her, and she bothered me. At the worst, she tortured me all night long, and it made me sick. Because of this, I often felt sleepy in the barracks. Once, the emperor discovered it and asked the reason for it. He then sent someone to bring me a prescription. I took the medicine according to the prescription, and now I am completely well."
Xiao Lingzi's words seemed to give Xiao Ningzi hope.
However, he did not expect that what he was thinking was not the same as what Xiao Lingzi said.
He suddenly looked at him with some excitement.
"So, my illness is curable?"
"What's wrong with you?"
