Don't mess with her, she is the god in charge of the golden finger!

Chapter 472 Nightmare, looking for a chance to fake death and escape

While having dinner that night, Si Ling bit her chopsticks and looked at Si Zhen and Ding Luoyun, who were much more mature than before.

"Why is Ling'er looking at me all the time?" Si Zhen smiled and handed Si Ling a piece of wild boar meat that he had picked for her.

Since the birth of Si Ling, his and Ding Luoyun's health has been getting better day by day. The two of them have secretly observed and found out that it was Si Ling who put Chinese medicine in their daily meals. So they don't know where she got the method, and it is very effective, but they are very happy because Si Ling is really doing it for their own good.

Only the three of them knew about this matter. The servants in the general's mansion did not know about it. Si Zhen and Ding Luoyun remained the same as before in front of outsiders, and sometimes even appeared a little weaker than before.

Si Ling has always been happy, as if nothing could bother her. But now she suddenly frowned and stared at the two of them. Si Zhen and Ding Luoyun were a little curious about what she was thinking.

Ding Luoyun touched Si Ling's head and said with a smile: "Ling'er has grown up, and he has his own worries, right?"

Si Ling nodded: "Yes, Ling'er does have something bothering her. It's a very big bother that I don't know what to do."

Ding Luoyun and Si Zhen looked at each other and then looked at Si Ling with concern.

Si Ling sighed and said, "I had a nightmare while taking a nap today. I dreamed that you, my mother, died of hemorrhage when you gave birth to me. I dreamed that I was poisoned in my mother's womb and was born a fool. The people who poisoned me turned out to be the princess and grandmother of the virtuous prince."

"Yes, yes, I also dreamed that after my mother died, my father took me to the front line to defend our country. I was seriously injured several times and wanted to return home on sick leave, but the emperor would not allow me to do so, so he let my father continue to be a general."

Ding Luoyun and Si Zhen frowned at the same time. Why did their daughter have dreams that were completely opposite to reality?

There happened to be no one else in the room, so Si Ling continued to talk: "I also dreamed that the two children born to Princess Xian were wandering souls from another world. They could sit up in March, stand up in May, walk in August, and speak fluently at one year old."

"When you and I were on the front lines defending our country, Daddy, the twins were world-renowned geniuses, but I could only play in the mud behind you and the other soldiers."

"When I was twelve years old, the neighboring country suddenly launched a war against our Qin State. The wise king personally led the troops to fight. You died on the battlefield when an arrow pierced your heart and internal organs while trying to save him. The wise king won the battle and brought me back to the palace, asking the princess to raise me."

"As a result, his two sons liked me very much, and the daughter got jealous and reported it to the princess. The princess hated my mother for taking my father away, and hated my father for rejecting her and embarrassing her. So she started to plot against me. She poisoned the prince's eldest son, letting him bully me and die on me. As a result, I was kicked out of the palace and became a beggar for two or three years."

"The daughter of the middle prince has been bullying me, but her twin brother still likes me, so he locked me up in a small courtyard. When she found out about this, the Qin State was hit by plague and drought. She actually, she actually..."

Si Zhen wanted to comfort Si Ling by saying that this was all a dream and not real, but deep down in his heart he had a feeling that this was real. He clenched his fists and asked, "What did she do?"

Ding Luoyun had already burst into tears. She didn't know whether it was a prophecy of the future or a dream. Even if it was a dream, her precious daughter had experienced such a thing. She was very heartbroken.

Si Ling told the rumors and how she was burned to death, as well as some of the subsequent plots. Si Zhen lowered his head and remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking. Ding Luoyun even held Si Ling in his arms and comforted him silently.

"Si Zhen, we have already decided to return the tiger talisman and leave the capital. I don't care whether you want to leave or not. Ling'er and I are really tired of living in fear for you every day. Look, Ling'er actually had such a realistic and scary dream because of this matter. If these things really happen in a few years, if you are still a general, what should we do?"

"I……"

Si Zhen didn't know what to do, because he was in a situation where he wanted to leave but couldn't.

It’s not that there aren’t people who are more capable than him and want to replace him, but the emperor sees that he has a simple family background and is easy to use, so the emperor has never let him go.

How can he leave if the emperor doesn’t let him go?

Si Zhen had no idea that he couldn't make a comeback without the Qin State, which was why Si Ling suddenly said these things at this time.

Sometimes we are not afraid of strong enemies, but we are afraid of encountering stupid teammates who hold us back.

She saw through Si Zhen's thoughts at a glance; he was worried and anxious.

"Father, let's wait for another year. If the twins of the wise king become household names this year, then it is possible that my dream is a prophecy from God. Then we must leave the capital."

"I also learned a lot in my dream. I can make a fake death drug. Then we can find an opportunity to fake our death and escape."

Ding Luoyun nodded repeatedly: "What Ling'er said is feasible. You should pay more attention to the virtuous king and Liu Yiyi. Let's make preparations in advance."

Si Zhen nodded: "Okay, Ling'er, tell me what you dreamed about in the next year."

Si Ling was very satisfied with her parents' trust in her. Her efforts in the past few years were not in vain. Si Ling picked out some important things and talked about them. Si Zhen and Ding Luoyun kept what she said firmly in their hearts and prepared to find an opportunity to verify it when the time comes.

As one thing after another was confirmed to be just as Si Ling had dreamt, and the reputation of the wise king's twin geniuses and child prodigies spread throughout the capital and beyond, Si Zhen and Ding Luoyun could not sleep for several days.

The two didn't dare to think about what would happen to their family of three if Si Ling's dream continued to develop.

Ding Luoyun secretly began to cash out. On the surface, everything looked the same as usual, but in fact, she bought all the items in the general's mansion that could not reveal her identity and exchanged them for silver bills.

Si Zhen was also looking for an opportunity to fake his death. In addition to what happened in Si Ling's dream, there had been a voice in his heart telling him to take his wife and daughter away as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Five generations of his Si family had worked for the Qin State, and now he was the only one left. He himself had also worked for the Qin State for fifteen years, so he could not forgive Qin Ming, whom he risked his life to save, and the people of Qin State for treating his only daughter like that after his death.

So he wanted to leave and take his wife and daughter to live somewhere where no one knew them.

Opportunities are hard to find, but they will definitely come. Soon, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace where Si Ling mentioned that the assassination attempt would occur arrived as scheduled.

Si Zhen was also chosen by the emperor to attend the banquet with his wife and daughter. The family of three got dressed and went to the banquet.

As long as the assassin appears, the three of them can find an opportunity to fake their own death and escape.

The four-and-a-half-year-old Si Ling is a sweet and soft little girl, but in order not to attract attention, Ding Luoyun simply dressed her up.

Si Ling stood beside Ding Luoyun and amused herself. Not far away were Liu Yiyi and her twins who were surrounded by other female relatives.

Everyone was praising the twins for being good-looking and silent. Liu Yiyi glanced at Si Ling and Ding Luoyun with a proud look. Now, they really knew that they were from different worlds.

If she had known this day would come, she would not have chased after Si Zhen and left herself at a loss for words. Fortunately, she has always been innocent, otherwise she would not have been able to capture the wise king Qin Ming, and would not have given birth to two geniuses.

Where there are many women, there are many gossips, not to mention women who can only stay in the backyard and fight in the house most of the time. They seem to be harmonious when they get together, but their words are full of calculations and sour words.

As the group of people were chatting, their eyes somehow all turned to Ding Luoyun and Si Ling.

Ding Luoyun held Si Ling's hand tightly and whispered, "Ling'er, you must hold on to your mother's hand tightly. Don't leave my sight, understand?"

The assassin will only appear at the banquet. Before that, they have to guard against Liu Yiyi and some people who are not on good terms with Ding Luoyun.

No matter how smart Si Ling is, she is just a child. Si Zhen is not here. If this group of people do something, she is afraid that she will not be able to protect Si Ling.

"I know, mother, don't worry."

Si Ling sneered in her heart. She was not afraid of trouble, but she was afraid that no one would cause trouble.

Just as he was thinking this, Liu Yiyi came to Ding Luoyun with a group of people, smiling. She first looked at Ding Luoyun meaningfully, and then set her eyes on Si Ling.

Si Ling ignored her and instead focused her attention on the two children being held by the maids behind her.

At this moment, Qin Ziyao and Qin Ziyue were looking at her with curiosity. The three of them had only met once before and had no chance to take a good look at each other. Qin Ziyao stared at Si Ling intently and felt that Si Ling was the most beautiful little girl he had ever seen, and would definitely be a nobody when she grew up.

Qin Ziyue looked at Si Ling with a bit of jealousy. It was because Si Ling, who was less than five years old, was already a beauty. Although she was born in a royal palace, she could not guarantee that she would be as beautiful as Si Ling when she grew up.

If the prince's daughter was outdone by the general's daughter, she would really be angry.

Fortunately, Si Ling is just a girl who likes to tinker with cooking in the small kitchen, and she is not as smart as her. Qin Ziyue finally felt relieved when she thought of this.

Liu Yiyi looked at the calm Ding Luoyun and said with a smile: "Sister, long time no see, how are you?"

"Yeah, it's been a while."

"Look at you, sister. Why are you still alienated from your sister?"

Ding Luoyun took a step back to avoid Liu Yiyi's hand and smiled faintly: "Princess, you are overthinking, but you are the princess now, I am afraid of offending you."

A smile flashed in Liu Yiyi's eyes, Ding Luoyun, you have come to this day.

"Forget it, forget it. Since my sister said so, let's just leave it at that. By the way, I haven't seen Ling'er for a long time. I didn't expect that in just one year, Ling'er has become even more beautiful. Just based on her looks, I'm afraid she will be the most beautiful woman in the capital in a few years."

After these words were spoken, many people looked at Si Ling with deeper eyes. Si Ling was speechless. A group of women in their teens and twenties disliked her, a girl who was less than five years old. Is it really okay?

The same goes for Liu Yiyi. This is like putting her on the fire in advance. Besides, is the title of the most beautiful woman a good title?

Others want it, but she doesn't.

Ding Luoyun was unhappy, but still smiled politely: "Princess, you are too kind. Ling'er is so stupid that she only knows how to hang around in the small kitchen all day."

Si Ling smiled innocently: "There are so many beautiful people in the world. Ling'er can't be the most beautiful woman, but if there is a best chef, Ling'er will definitely strive for it."

Laughter rang out one after another. No one expected Si Ling to say such words on the spot. It was so embarrassing, but Ding Luoyun actually touched Si Ling's head with a doting look on his face and said that as long as you dare to think about it, you can definitely do it.

Liu Yiyi was also laughing. For a girl like this, her two children had already trampled her to the ground. Ding Luoyun and her daughter had completely widened the gap between them.

"I heard that Ling'er is also a good cook now. If there is a chance, I would like to taste it."

If he didn't have to fake his death to escape today, Ding Luoyun really didn't want to be hypocritical with Liu Yiyi.

Si Ling laughed again and said, "Okay, as long as you need it, I can make delicious food for you. The food I cook is delicious, you will definitely like it."

The silly look made Liu Yiyi and Qin Ziyue in a good mood. It happened that the banquet was about to begin, so the group had to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ding Luoyun brought Si Ling to Si Zhen, where the family of three sat in a relatively central position, while Liu Yiyi, with her two children, and Qin Ming with Qin Ziqian sat just below the dragon throne, showing their high status.

Before Qin Ziqian sat down, he saw Si Ling with his sharp eyes. He quietly reached out to greet Si Ling, but Si Ling turned her head away and pretended not to see. Qin Ziqian sat next to Qin Ming feeling a little depressed, unable to understand why Si Ling still ignored him.

All the ministers and their families have taken their seats, waiting for the emperor and empress to arrive and the banquet will officially begin.

Si Ling took out two pills that looked like sugar pills from the small pouch on her waist. In fact, they were life-saving pills that could save their lives and create a state of suspended animation no matter what injuries or poisons they suffered.

"Mom and Dad, let me give you some candy to sweeten your mouth first."

Si Zhen and Ding Luoyun looked at each other, smiled, took it and put it into their mouths, saying in unison: "It's so sweet."

"Hehe, I took it secretly when I went out." Si Ling also stuffed one into his mouth. Some people noticed them, but when they saw that they were eating candy pills, they smiled and looked away, no longer paying attention to the three of them.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is a special hall for holding large banquets. It is very large. Si Ling turned her head and looked around. It was full of people, many of whom were talking in low voices. With just one glance, she could see several assassins disguised as palace maids and guards.

After meeting the eyes of two of them, Si Ling grinned and looked away.

The original assassin wasn't very good enough, so she had to help add some extra ingredients, otherwise it would be difficult for Si Zhen to die.

If Si Zhen knew that his precious daughter had done something to kill him, he would definitely boast that he had given birth to a very filial daughter.

Soon, the emperor and the queen came together, followed by a group of imperial guards with swords.

Everyone stood up and knelt on the ground to welcome the Emperor and Empress. Si Ling was sandwiched between his parents and did not kneel but just squatted. Anyway, no one could see it.

As the emperor asked everyone to stand up and the banquet began, people from the imperial kitchen continuously brought delicious food and fine wine.

The emperor raised his glass and, like modern leaders, first reviewed the national and people's conditions of the year, and then painted a lot of big pictures for everyone. Everyone raised their glasses and drank with shining eyes, and then they ate, talked, and enjoyed singing, dancing and music.

Si Ling and the other two lowered their heads and ate with big mouthfuls. They wanted to die well-fed even if they had to fake their death.
