บท 490: Quite Scheming

After Duke Jingguo left the palace, Xiao Jin returned to Conjugal Phoenix Palace.

"How is Duke Jingguo's health?"

"He's an old man after all. One of his kidneys was removed previously, and his foundation was damaged. In addition, he's been working hard recently, so his condition is indeed not very good. However, he can still recover. Let him rest first," Su Ying explained truthfully.

Xiao Jin nodded. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find anyone else in the Imperial Court more suitable to restrain those civil officials, he wouldn't have let Duke Jingguo work so hard.

As the two of them were talking, the two little fellows woke up. When they opened their eyes and didn't see Su Ying, they came running out of the inner hall in a panic.

"Mother, Mother…"

"I want Mother!"

Su Ying and Xiao Jin heard the commotion and walked into the inner hall. They saw the two children standing there barefoot with panicky expressions.
