I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

The black snake walked all the way into the palace. Because there were many people during the day and there was no cover of night, it took it longer than usual this time. It hid in the flower bed and looked at the woman in the yard. The black snake didn't know why her face was pale. It only felt that the other person's breathing was very weak and her heart beat much slower than others.

It hid in the flower bed, waiting for an opportunity, but there were not only a lot of people there during the day, but there was also someone following the woman, so it would not be able to find a chance to get close like it would at night.

The woman looked towards the place where the black snake was hiding as if she sensed something. She stood up and walked towards the bush where the black snake was. When she saw clearly what was staring at her, she stepped back in fear. Before she could scream, the black snake disappeared without a trace, as if everything was just her illusion.

"Maybe I'm seeing things." The woman whispered to herself. Her current situation seemed normal.

She knew that everyone thought she was dying, and she felt the same way. After all, no one else would suffer from nightmares every night like she did.

"A dying person like me can actually cause such a big trouble. I really don't know what to say."

Now the court was arguing over her title. She could occasionally hear some discussions, all of which were advising Xia Zhengan to listen to the prime minister and replace Rong Xia with Jing Ning. She also knew in her heart that her body was really not worthy of the name Rong Xia.

"Princess, please don't say such unlucky words. The Queen Mother can't stand you saying that." The head maid put a cloak on her. She was now the eye of the Queen Mother and Princess Jing'an, so she couldn't be careless. "If the Queen Mother heard it, she would cry."

"I just said that. Don't tell mother. She won't know. Why should my royal brothers get angry with the ministers in the court because of me? It's just a title." Why would she bother when she didn't know when she would die?

The head maid was about to speak but stopped herself. She wanted to say something, but then she thought of this person who had completely forgotten the past, so there was no point in saying anything: "This is because the Queen Mother and His Majesty love the princess, and the princess does not need to worry too much. Although the Prime Minister is angry with His Majesty, the two of them will not be alienated because of this."

Everyone in the world knows that Song Shiqiu is deeply favored by the emperor, so even if there is a big quarrel, nothing will happen.

The black snake hid in the corner and stared at them. After spitting out its tongue, it avoided everyone's sight and left the palace.

The snake could not understand what these people were saying, but the woman’s life would not last long.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after Lin Jin made eye contact with that woman, the memories of his time with Song Shixia played in his mind like a slide show, until the other person walked in front of him and he suddenly came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry for being rude just now. It's just that when I saw you, I suddenly thought of an old friend." Lin Jin retracted his gaze, not knowing where to put it, so he had to put it on Shi Nian, "I made you laugh, please forgive me."

Jing Wenshu shook his head slightly and bowed to Lin Jin: "Jing Wu greets Madam. This is Madam's residence. Please forgive Jing Wu for being rude. Wen Rui caused trouble to Madam a few days ago. I came here today to apologize. I didn't expect to scare Madam just now."

The familiar feeling from the other person disappeared without a trace in an instant. Lin Jin felt relieved but also felt a little sad.

There was doubt in Jing Wenshu's eyes, and there seemed to be some inquiry in them: "Madam?"

Lin Jin came back to his senses: "Ah, you are talking about the young man who secretly studied outside the academy that day. He didn't cause any trouble and apologized. But I don't understand why he went to the academy to eavesdrop on the teacher's lecture. The teacher in the Imperial College should also teach the same class."

If you were to say he was scared, it was because Miao Wenrui fell and got hurt that he was scared by her.

"Wen Rui entered the Imperial College just a few months ago. His knowledge is not as good as other students in the Imperial College. He heard that the teacher in Madam's Academy explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, so he had no choice but to learn from him."

"No matter what, it was Wenrui who was rude first. Besides, the elders in the family didn't expect that he was not only stupid and naughty, but also so bold and presumptuous. I'm sorry to embarrass you, madam." Jing Wenshu lowered his eyebrows, with shame on his face, looking gentle and graceful.

"No, being stupid, stubborn and reckless is too much." Lin Jin spoke up for Miao Wenrui based on his conscience. Miao Wenrui just wanted to keep up with the progress of the Imperial College.

Seeing that Lin Jin was not angry, Jing Wenshu nodded hesitantly and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister asked us to stay for dinner. I wonder if this will bother Madam."

"Of course not. It's almost time for dinner." Lin Jin always felt something strange, but he didn't take it seriously because he couldn't figure it out. "Is Master Miao here too?"

She could just ask about the academy. If she kept coming to the academy to secretly take classes at the Imperial College, she would definitely not be able to attend. She didn't know if people here would be expelled for skipping classes. She felt that the possibility was very high.

Although Jing Wenshu didn't understand why Lin Jin cared about his cousin, he still told her the truth: "Wenrui has been recuperating at home for a few days. Although it is still inconvenient for him to walk, he is here. He is playing chess with the Prime Minister. If Madam has anything to say, you can tell Jing Wu, and Jing Wu will convey it to Wenrui."

"Is that so?" Lin Jin seemed to be thinking. Since Song Shiqiu was there, she didn't need to worry. Song Shiqiu would definitely explain the pros and cons to Miao Wenrui. "Nothing. I'm just worried that he would miss his studies at the Imperial Academy if he always went to the academy."

Jing Wenshu was stunned when he heard this, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be filled with helplessness: "So that's how it is. The old friend that Madam just mentioned was the Second Miss Song, and the Prime Minister also said that at first glance he thought it was the Second Miss Song."

"It's just that I was mistaken. You two don't look alike." Lin Jin shook her head. She was mistaken only because of Jing Wenshu's smile and the fact that they were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she had this illusion.

But these two people are different. If we must say they are similar, it is better to say they are imitations. This Miss Jing Wu is too deliberate, as if she is deliberately imitating Song Shixia's expression and tone of voice.

What a strange feeling. Lin Jin hoped that she was overthinking this time, but even if she was really overthinking, she still felt uncomfortable instinctively.

Jing Wenshu frowned, as if he was puzzled, but soon his brows relaxed: "Madam is right, no one in this world looks like anyone else, even the reflections in the water are not exactly the same."

Lin Jin nodded, not planning to continue chatting with Jing Wenshu, and picked up Shi Nian to take him back to run on the wheel to lose weight: "That's it, were you just enjoying the scenery? I have something else to do, so I'll excuse myself first."

Jing Wenshu unconsciously touched his face, his eyes filled with deeper confusion. He sighed as he watched Lin Jin carrying Shi Nian away.

Lin Jin didn't know what she was thinking. He carried Shi Nian back to the yard and put him on the running wheel. "You run here, don't try to be lazy. I will always keep an eye on you in the study. If you dare to be lazy, you will be hungry...for a meal."

Anyway, this kid eats seven or eight meals a day, so it won’t be a problem if he skips one meal.

"Ouch!" The hair on Shi Nian's tail exploded.

"If you don't want to, then just exercise. You have to choose between dieting and exercise." Lin Jin raised her index finger and shook it. Shi Nian ate too much. "Excessive obesity in cats will also increase the burden on their organs. Don't be reckless just because you are a cat. This is not okay."

Shi Nian simply fell on the roller and turned over on his belly, pretending to be dead, and shook his tail to show that he didn't want to move.

"It's useless to act cute. This is related to your future health. No matter how cute you are, it will be useless." Lin Jin made sure that Shi Nian's determination to lose weight would not be shaken at all because of this.

After Shi Nian let out a loud cry, he took advantage of Lin Jin's inattention and ran out. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he looked back at Lin Jin, with his tail erect and swinging back and forth as if in provocation.
