Shao Linyuan tensed up instantly and subconsciously looked at the kneeling eunuch.

Fortunately, the eunuch was afraid of him and did not dare to look up. He just clenched his hands tightly, somewhat dazed by the "ooh" he had just heard.

Since I've already been stunned by the Demon-Slaying Whip, I might as well take a gamble!

Thinking this, Shao Linyuan lowered his head and coughed lightly, suppressing his shame, and made an ambiguous sound from his throat, similar to the cry of a fox.

Then, with her ears turning red, she said, "I've been traveling a lot lately and have caught a cold. My nose isn't feeling well. I'm going out."

The eunuch was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what Shao Linyuan had said. He raised his head in a daze.

Just then, Shao Linyuan sat up straight and pointed to the door: "What? You want to watch me get dressed and style my hair? Get out and wait!"

"yes!"

After the eunuch scrambled to close the palace door and ran far away, Shao Linyuan lowered his hand and pulled the fluffy thing out from under the blanket.

Perhaps due to the severity of its injuries, the little fox's demonic power diminished dramatically, and it reverted to its original form.

When he pulled her up, her ears were drooping, her eyes were still sleepy, her little tail twitched, and she raised her paw unhappily, rubbing her eyes a couple of times.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and the corners of his lips were slightly downturned.

Yes, it's a grumpy fox who only has morning grumpiness.

Shao Linyuan was charmed by Si Jin's cuteness. He gently pulled Si Jin into his arms, covered him with the blanket, and stroked his head lightly. "I'm going out to get you some food. I'll set up a barrier around the bed so no one can get in. Be a good boy and wait for me."

Si Jin barked twice, and Shao Linyuan roughly understood that it meant it wanted malt candy. He agreed, tucked Si Jin's tail around, and then turned and left.

The door closed again, and Si Jin continued in her fox-like sleeping posture, shrinking into the blankets.

With its snow-white paws pressed against the fox's tail, it closed its eyes and silently released the restrictive spell left by Shao Linyuan.

Xiao Yao was very confused: "My lord, Little Heavenly Lord went to great lengths to set this up, why did you undo it?"

I'm afraid the Empress might come looking for trouble, so she won't be able to get close to me. Si Xiaohuli spoke with an innocent look on her face: Wouldn't that make her come all this way for nothing? How impolite!

In the original story, it was because of the Empress's suggestion that the Changning Division mobilized to capture the critically injured original owner and bring her into the harem.

The empress is the legitimate daughter of the current prime minister, but she has a secret affair with a demon and has given birth to a son and a daughter, who live in the palace as the crown prince and princess.

The eyes of a half-demon will turn into an eerie gold after the age of seven, just like Shao Linyuan's.

At that time, the emperor will surely discover her secret of infidelity and execute her entire family.

The Empress was frightened. After learning that the fox demon's demon core could suppress the medicinal effects in the child's body, she had her lover, a demon, use insidious means to harm the original owner of the body. Then, she coaxed the old emperor and ordered the Changning Division to capture the fox demon.

After the original owner was trapped in the palace, she suffered greatly, mostly due to the Empress's instigation. To be on the safe side, the Empress even sent palace maids to the palace every day to poison the incense burner.

This is a poison from the demon realm, not easily detected. It can temporarily strip demons of their demonic power, leaving them at the mercy of others. Today is the day to reap the benefits.

Si Jin thought: In a little while, a palace maid will come with a knife to cut open his heart and take his demon core. He's so kind, how can he let them come up empty-handed? (^_^)

Soon, the outer palace doors creaked open, and a palace maid walked in. Little Yao silently lit a candle, clasped her hands together in a prayerful gesture: [May you die a quick and painless death.]

The footsteps drew closer. The palace maid's eyes hardened, her dagger gleaming. She threw back the covers and plunged the knife into the white fox's heart without hesitation.

The little fox shrieked, struggled a few times, and finally died, leaving a large patch of bright red blood on the snow-white bedding.
