I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Hmm?" Song Shiqiu originally thought that Lin Jin would continue talking, but Lin Jin just finished speaking and continued to lower his head to read the storybook, with no intention of explaining.

Although Lin Jin was temporarily perked up by the storybook, she still yawned in the second half of the night: "Song Shiqiu, I'm a little sleepy."

"Take a rest if you're sleepy." Song Shiqiu looked helplessly at Lin Jin, who was nodding his head but was unwilling to take a rest.

"Oh, it's mainly because I feel guilty about you doing this. How about you sleep on the floor?" Lin Jin was really embarrassed to let Song Shiqiu stay up all night alone. She felt guilty about this. "Otherwise, I won't sleep either."

Song Shiqiu was silent for a moment, then he stood up and went out to talk to the people outside before coming back.

Lin Jin looked at his actions and didn't quite understand: "What's wrong? Can I go back now?"

So what exactly happened? Lin Jin was really curious about what was going on.

"Not yet." Song Shiqiu shook his head.

Lin Jin tugged at his sleeve: "Then tell me what happened? Anyway, it's just you and me now."

Song Shiqiu thought about it and decided to tell her, "Prince Qi has rebelled and is forcing the emperor to abdicate."

These nine words came out of his mouth so lightly, and Lin Jin was shocked.

What? Is this a rebellion? Isn't this the Qiqiao Festival?

"What kind of person would choose to rebel during the Qiqiao Festival?" Lin Jin felt his eyes go darker and darker. "So what's going on outside now? Are the people okay?"

Tonight is the Qiqiao Festival, and so many women have come out to pray for cleverness. How dare these people do this? What if they hurt innocent people?

"This is the most appropriate time." Song Shiqiu knew she would do this. "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Most of the women in the capital who are begging for skills are in Tingyu Tower, and the private soldiers of the King of Jin are guarding in secret."

The Qiqiao Festival is celebrated not only by the common people but also in the palace, so today is the best time to rebel, otherwise who knows when the next time will be.

Lin Jin felt that she was becoming more and more confused. She thought that Prince Jin, who was most likely to rebel, had joined forces with Song Shiqiu?

"So you brought me to Tingyu Tower so that I can take charge here, right?" Lin Jin pouted. Although she understood, Song Shiqiu actually hid it from her at the beginning.

Song Shiqiu looked apologetic: "Not entirely. I really want to spend the Qiqiao Festival with you, so I didn't want to tell you in advance and disturb your mood."

"Okay, I accept this reason." Lin Jin nodded, indicating that she had generously forgiven Song Shiqiu.

The mutiny that was originally planned with great fanfare was quietly put down overnight. Prince Qi never expected that Xia Min would join forces with Xia Zhengan to trap him.

He was forced by Xi Lilong's men to kneel in front of Xia Zhengan and Xia Min, staring at Xia Min intently: "You lied to me? You...hahahaha...you are actually Xia Zhengan's running dog too!"

"Have you forgotten the humiliation of being sent as a proton? It should have been him who was sent as a proton. It was him!"

"Have you forgotten that all the suffering you endured was for him?"

Xia Min scratched his ears and looked at the stars in the sky: "The dog is barking."

Xia Zhengan glanced at him with an almost invisible helplessness in his eyes, but he quickly looked back at Prince Qi: "What about you? Why did you want to rebel? I have treated you well since I ascended the throne, why did you do such a treasonous thing?"

He has been friendly and brotherly for so many years, but he is always betrayed again and again.

Could the imperial family really be so ruthless?

"Treason? What qualifications do you have to accuse me of treason?" Prince Qi sneered, "Father passed the throne to you, but what did you do? You appointed people based on personal connections and became Song Shiqiu's puppet?"

"Since you have no ability, why do you sit in that position? Are you going to let the whole world see us laughing? Is the surname of Da Xia now Xia or Song? Do you still remember?"

"You are an incompetent king. You are not worthy of sitting in that position. If Daxia is handed over to you, it will only lead to the destruction of the country."

Xia Zhengan sighed. He didn't expect it was because of this. "Mr. Prime Minister, haven't you done enough for the country and the people? I accepted his advice not because he is Song Shiqiu, but because he is right! He is loyal!"

"If I don't dare to use Song Shiqiu because of your speculation, then it would be a real insult to the royal dignity and a true incompetence."

"The world is not mine, it belongs to the world. The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important. It's been so many years, how come you can't understand such a simple sentence?" Xia Zhengan's eyes were full of disappointment with his younger brother. He waved his hand and asked the Yuanyang Army to take the man to the Sky Prison.

"It's getting late and the rebel has been caught. I can go back to sleep." Xia Min said in a relaxed tone, as if he had no idea about the rebellion that had just happened.

Xia Zhengan glanced at him, then waved his hand: "Go away, go away, you're an eyesore."

"We agreed that Song Shiqiu should stop holding my princess hostage." Xia Min wondered how long it would take him to go to Lingnan.

Xia Zhengan sighed. His brother was good in every way except his poor eyesight. "Are you really going to go to war with Su Chengan?"

Xia Min fell silent and finally just nodded.

He has to break his inner demons by himself.

"Forget it, forget it. I can't control you. I'll give you another 2,000 soldiers." Xia Zhengan had been on the throne for less than three years, and Xia Min was the only brother left. "Come back alive, just like before."

Xia Min was the one chosen to be a hostage back then. Xia Min was not favored by his father when he was young and had a gloomy temperament. He was also chosen as a hostage. He was worried that his younger brother would commit suicide, so he discussed a plan with Song Shiqiu to make Xia Min mistakenly believe that he was the one who was supposed to be sent as a hostage, but Song Shiqiu dissuaded him and replaced the candidate with Xia Min.

He thought that no matter how unwilling or resentful he felt, as long as Xia Min could survive, they would one day rescue him. That was why there had been so many misunderstandings over the years.

"Yes." Xia Min bowed to Xia Zheng'an, "Take care, my brother."

How could he die like this when his princess wasn't even in love with him?

Lin Lin didn't know that Xia Min was planning to go to war, and was still listening to the piano in the villa in Lingnan.

"Princess, this is the incense sent by the girl you rescued." The maid came in with a tray with a small wooden box on it. "The girl said that she saw that you had trouble falling asleep every night, so she made a special incense for you to help you sleep."

Lin Lin picked up the small wooden box on the tray, opened it and took a look: "Have you tested it for poison?"

"I've checked it." The maid lowered her head. Ever since Miss Lin Liu left, the princess' temper has become a little unpredictable. Later, she rescued a girl who had been lying in the mansion, and no one knew what she was going to do.

Lin Lin put the incense aside and said, "Well, go down."

After the maid left, she picked up the small wooden box again and threw it directly out of the window. The box made a sound when it fell into the water, and the maid who was playing the piano tightened her fingers.

Lin Lin looked at the ripples on the water and sneered, "Who cares?"

Something worthless.

The maid was so frightened by the sound that she played a wrong note and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Princess, please spare me, Princess, please spare me!"

Lin Lin's already aching head was made even more painful by the noise: "Get lost!"

The maid quickly withdrew and appeared at the door in a white dress, saying helplessly: "I guessed that you would throw it away."

Lin Lin looked at the visitor coldly: "What are you doing here?"

"Alas." She sighed, her eyes full of helplessness, "Why are you degrading your body like this? If you don't feel sorry for yourself, who will?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Leave as soon as your injury heals." Lin Lin turned his gaze to the moon outside the window and closed his eyes. "Don't think that I saved you and you have any ability."
