After some time that Qiu Bai left and Si Ning was still standing there absentminded, he suddenly felt sluggish and tired, he knew that the medicine was finally kicking in and he couldn’t wait to go to his room and take one of the sleeping tablets Song Feng gave him and write ’do not disturb’ boldly on a paper and paste it outside his door.

It was only noon and Si Ning knew he had to see Shao Lang first but then he sat down slowly and lowered his head on the table, his mass of hair poured over the table covering his face like a curtain that he had to close his eyes just to rest for a bit.

Si Ning started feeling sleepy yet he couldn’t sleep because his mind was restless. There he was thinking to marry Xiu Zhicheng was his biggest problem and also finding a way to leave his post but Qiu Bai just basically told him he was planning to declare an all-out war on Xiu.

This Qiu Bai he met was different from the Qiu Bai he knew in the twenty-first

    "Eh...." Si Ning placed a hand on his cheek as he tilted his head. He knew it, Shao Lang didn’t come to apologize to him but to confess to him, confess about his plans with Qiu Bai and Si Ning couldn’t help his lips that curled up into an evil smile, somehow looking forward to Shao Lang’s excuse for not giving him aid at the warand that almost made him lose his head as soon as he transmigrated to a world he had no chance to get familiar with before heading to war."Since you fainted at the court assembly and fell ill that is why I brought you a hundred-year ginseng." Shao Lang brought out a small delicate small box and stretched his hand to hand it over to Si Ning."....." Si Ning wanted to badly splash the tea on Shao Lang’s face for casually changing the subject and reminding him of the fake embarrassing fainting he managed to pull off in the courtroom.It almost looked like Shao Lang came to make jest of him except he

  • Cunning General Si Ning   I Need To Rest

    "So you mean Song Feng..." Si Ning had to pause to think of the proper words to use. "So Song Feng is in love with me?" He decided to be blunt and not beat around the bush.Shao Lang coughed, a little shocked at how Si Ning constructed his words but he nodded since he was too embarrassed to reply to Si Ning with words, he quickly looked away in embarrassment as his ears tinted into a lighter shade of red that Si Ning almost rolled his eyes at how Shao Lang was acting so shy like the word love was an embarrassing word he shouldn't say lightly.Song Feng being in love with him was something Si Ning never expected that he had to close his eyes to think about it and based on how Song Feng interacted with him, there was nothing out of the ordinary except he calls Si Ning by name and played his role as a doctor and when Xiu Zhicheng gave him gifts, Si Ning was more worried about how to act that he wasn’t able to see Song Feng’s expression. Song Feng making porrid

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Deep Sleep

    Eating and taking a long refreshing bath could take off some stress. That was what Si Ning thought as he wore his sleeping robes, water still dripping from his hair. He touched his palms and he couldn’t help the smile that played on his lips because his hands were now softer and all he needed was a little more time taking care of his hands for it to finally become how he remembered his hands to be. He glanced at his table to see a folded piece of paper just right beside the pouch Song Feng gave him, he knew he didn’t see the paper earlier when he placed the pouch on the table which means Ah Dai must have dropped it for him. Si Ning carried the jug on the table and poured himself a cup of water and took out one of the pills in the pouch, it was dark and round, without thinking he threw it in his mouth and drank water to wash down the pill then he flexed his toes glad of the little knowledge about pedicure and manicure he knew because his feet now feels and looks softer.

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Muddleheaded

    When Si Ning woke up and slightly opened his eyes, he first noticed it was still dark which made him closed his eyes and tried to pull the pillow he rested his head closer to him only for his arms to lightly aches that he opened his eyes and turned, he felt weak but he knew he had to at least know the time, with this thought he slowly sat up and swung his legs, shifting forward till his feet touched the floor. He felt muddleheaded that he had to take some time to clear his head then he rubbed his eyes to see clearly but when he stopped to focus, it was still dark.Strange.Si Ning felt well-rested and he was supposed to wake up by daylight but why was it still dark. He blinked once then twice and rubbed his eyes again expecting the day to become brighter but it was still dark.What if he had been sleeping for three days?With this thought, Si Ning stood up with a sense of urgency because he wondered if he had been sleeping for long because of the sleeping

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Inquiries

    "Jiang Ye!" Si Ning shouted. He knew it doesn’t make sense for a high-ranking General like him not to be vigilant when sleeping that he doesn’t even know the person that came into his room. At least he should be vigilant enough to hear the slightest sound but Si Ning decided to blame it on the sleeping pill."General Lieutenant Jiang went..." Xiao Pei stopped when the doors opened to reveal Jiang Ye.Jiang Ye dressed in dark blue robes, his hair neatly done into a simple ponytail with a dark hair band without a strand out of place and no shiny hair accessories, his dressing gave him a cool look even though his dull cloth seemed expensive and he doesn’t look like a guard, he had the look of a wealthy man that doesn’t want to flaunt his wealth that came to pay his friend a visit. Si Ning had to stretch his neck so he could check Jiang Ye’s shoes before Jiang Ye close the door and he was able to peek at the dark boots and Si Ning could tell i

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Not Attending The Banquet

    Si Ning packed his hair that was still dripping water over his shoulders. He took the mirror and comb before sitting on his bed and crossed his legs, holding the mirror with one hand and the comb in the other hand. He worked the comb once through his hair but he wasn’t able to reach the tip because his hair was so long and the mirror almost slides off his hand making him leave the comb hanging in his hair as he quickly gripped the mirror more firmly."Young Master let me." Ah Dai said and stretched his hands to collect the comb and mirror from Si Ning.It was quite difficult for Si Ning to hold a mirror and comb his hair so he didn’t turn Ah Dai’s offer down. He only stood up and walked up to his table to take a seat, his eyes on the table that was still wet due to Ah Dai that wiped it clean because Si Ning wanted to check the reports Jiang Ye brought for him and also eat his meal before it gets cold and then take his bath so he could quickly dress up

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Another Part Of The Residence

    When Xiao Pei told Si Ning his mother was waiting for him at the meeting room, Si Ning had expected the meeting room to be the one he and Qiu Bai had a discussion but Yanyu met them on the way and led them in another direction, to the part of the residence Si Ning was yet to explore and when he thought about it Si Ning hadn’t got any time to check the whole residence because the residence was too big and for him to do so he needs a lot of time."Madam, Young Master has arrived," Yanyu announced then waited before nodding to the guard at the door and the guard quickly step back and opened the doors."Wait here." Si Ning said to Jiang Ye before stepping into the room after Yanyu.The room was bigger than Si Ning thought and it was well lit than he expected. Ge Mengshu back was turned to him since she was closing the window, an unfinished board game was on the table that Si Ning frowned when he got closer."Yanyu leave us." Ge Mengshu said when she tur

    "The person that just left was my personal guard Yi Chen." Ge Mengshu said as she withdrew her hands from Si Ning’s hold to carefully push her teacup to the side to create space for the board game she carried and placed carefully on the table to prevent the stones from shifting from its positions."From Xilie?" Si Ning asked, the name does not sound familiar and he also does not think the guard would be part of the Si Household and his mother spoke in the past tense which means he was not her guard anymore.Si Ning also pushed his teacup aside like he was creating more space for the board game when his true intention was not to mistakenly drink the bitter tea."My father took him in when I was just a child and he had been my guard as early as I can remember." Ge Mengshu explained as she placed her hands on the edge of the game board."Is he coming back?" Si Ning asked pushing the teacup further away. He could still taste the bitterness left by the t

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Stare

    The meeting wasn't tense and was going smoothly that Si Ning was glad about the pleasant atmosphere but the problem was he felt eyes on him, even though Xiu Zhicheng was sitting quite a far distance from him with a bored expression while replying and giving orders to the Minister reading their report yet Si Ning could tell Xiu Zhicheng was watching him.Si Ning does not understand why he was being stared at so much, even Shao Lang kept glancing at him with the corner of his eyes. Si Ning knew he looked beautiful but he had always been a beauty so he doesn't understand the stares directed at him and some of the Ministers too kept glancing at him then he concluded that it had to be because Xiu Zhicheng just announced that he would be the Empress in a month time because he doesn't feel any hostility coming from them so he doesn't think he was being stared at because he was yet to give the reply about whether he would sign over half of his army to the Imperial famil

  • Cunning General Si Ning   I Miss You

    Si Ning's mouth fell slightly because a part of him was telling him that Xiu Yuan was at the front of the courtroom to see him. "Yuan-er?" He never expected that the name he called to sound like a question but he was a bit surprised to see Xiu Yuan so he quickly moved closer to the foot of the stairs, his attention on Xiu Yuan not realising when Xiao Pei, Jiang Ye and the rest of the guards saluted and started to leave.Xiu Yuan jumped up happily and started to wave his hands before clapping then returned to waving his hands to show how happy he was as he laughed then he started to climb down the stairs in a hurry."Your Highness!" A palace maiden shouted in alarm as she hurried off after Xiu Yuan but didn't try to stop him, she only walked behind with her skirt gathered in her hands to avoid tripping, making it looked like she couldn't catch up to stop Xiu Yuan.Si Ning could not believe that Xiu Yuan with his big robes was running towards him, he h

    Si Ning raised his hands to allow Ah Dai to tie his belt. He had woken up since dawn but didn't make any move to get out of bed only for him to finally stood up when Ah Dai came in to wake him up for him to get ready to attend the court assembly, even though he doesn't have enough time to soak for long in the bathtub yet he made sure to wash up and even completed his face routine then he allowed Ah Dai to dress him nicely even though his uniform was the same with the rest of the Officials and Generals yet he wanted to stand out and look nice because he would be seeing Xiu Zhicheng, he was still annoyed that Xiu Zhicheng left him to have dinner with his Concubines yet he still wants to dress nicely because he would see him and he hated that part of him that wants him to dress nice only for that purpose.Ah Dai led Si Ning to take his seat and he started brushing his hair out before he started to style it into a half ponytail after adding oil to the edges then he took a gol

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Awake And Talk

    No matter how hard Si Ning tried to go to sleep, he was unable to sleep even after trying to empty his mind and made sure he had nothing to think about but still the picture of Xiu Zhicheng laughing with his Concubines while they fed him, drinking wine kept coming to his mind that it was so irritating.Why am I disturbed by this?The most confusing part was that he couldn't figure out why he was disturbed by this or why he had been thinking of Xiu Zhicheng so much to the extent that he wasn't even angry for thinking about him and that was what was irritating him the most. Si Ning wasn't stupid to know that he was attracted to Xiu Zhicheng so he was going to label it as infatuation which means the only thing he needed was time for it to go then he would completely stop thinking about Xiu Zhicheng and finally go back to his daily life of not thinking about sharing affections with someone or making love to them.This thought made Si Ning smiled, giggling with a wic

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Dinner?

    'Let's meet.' Si Ning turned over the letter to see there was nothing written on the other side of the paper. Even though he knew that was there to it yet he wondered if the real meaning of the two words might be in code because it could be Qiu Bai's way to avoid any attention to be directed at them since he might be aware of their last meeting being exposed to Xiu Zhicheng. Si Ning decided to look deep into each letter after touching the paper and discovered it was just an ordinary paper yet he still tried to look carefully maybe there might be hidden words in the letters as he drew the letter closer to the candle and bent his head for a closer look but after reading it and considering each letter trying to form what code it might mean to form a meaningful sentence and cracking his brain thinking only to end up with nothing. What sort of letter was this containing only two words, no location not even a time to meet. Without hesitation, Si Ning

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Riled Up

    Si Ning was a bit confused when Ah Dai didn’t make any announcement of Xiu Zhicheng arriving ,he only walked in and closed the door behind him then bowed before heading to light up the lanterns in the room without glancing at Si Ning.This was Ah Dai’s routine every evening when the sunset, he would come into the room to light the lanterns and candles then after he would ask what Si Ning wanted to eat so he could start preparing it so that Si Ning would be able to eat and go to bed early. Since it was a normal occurrence Si Ning didn’t say a word and only watched him while he tried not to wear a disappointed look.When Ah was done, he moved closer to Si Ning and reached inside his sleeve bringing out what seemed like a letter, and stretched out his hand to hand it over to him."Hmm Is that from the Emperor?" Si Ning asked blandly even though he was itching to grab it to quickly read what was written in it, instead he folded his hands and raised

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Overdressed Or Not

    Si Ning stood in front of the mirror checking his face and hair, he nodded as he slightly touched his hairpin, satisfied with how perfect his face and hair was but that wasn’t the reason he was standing in front of the mirror, the problem was with his attire and his indecisive mind so he started turning over and over, checking his robes from his neck down to his feet then suddenly he felt ridiculous as he removed his outer robe and almost run-up to the wardrobe immediately yanking the door opened and quickly threw the outer robe in like he couldn’t wait to get rid of it before closing the door with a satisfied expression and nodded, his hand akimbo before walking back to the table to take his seat.After some time of staring into space, it dawned on him what he just did then he looked down at his robes and he felt like what he was wearing was not presentable enough and Xiu Zhicheng mustn’t see him like that so he stood up to stand in front of the mirror to c

  • Cunning General Si Ning   Lost

    Si Ning withdrew his hand from Xiu Zhicheng’s hold due to the shock and weight of Xiu Zhicheng’s statement. He was trying to have power equal to the Emperor and Xiu Zhicheng announcing to make him the Empress was just the answer to it all but if Xiu Zhicheng takes half of his army to join the Imperial family army, even after marrying the Emperor and becoming part of the Imperial family doesn’t mean he was really part of the Xiu family and he would have no control over the Imperial army which means he would become crippled. It was just as Xiu TianZhao said, the Imperial family were afraid of him having more power than them and the Ministers were also afraid of him having more power than them in the court.Seeing Si Ning’s reaction made Xiu Zhicheng took the hand he withdrew and held it to his chest, rubbing it slowly to gain Si Ning’s attention before using his thumb to gently rubbed Si Ning’s eyebrows in a way to make Si Ning stop frowning.

  • Cunning General Si Ning   To Be Together

    Si Ning could feel his face heating up because of Xiu Zhicheng that had been staring at him and wasn’t even trying to hide it, this made Si Ning unable to look at him and to avoid meeting Xiu Zhicheng’s eyes, he stared at the kettle instead like it was an interesting piece of item that he was almost counting the flower patterns imprinted on it.For Xiao Pei to bring tea instead of Ah Dai was something Si Ning expected because Ah Dai does act timid and was self-conscious about his arm even though Si Ning never cared about that because Ah Dai had been doing his job perfectly after promising not to strain his prosthetic arm and not bringing tea must have been his way of preventing being an eyesore to Xiu Zhicheng but looking at Xiu Zhicheng, Si Ning doesn’t think the Emperor would mind about something like that, after all Ah Dai losing an arm doesn’t make him less human. Si Ning also planed to take Ah Dai along with him when he moves to the palace because
