Chapter 2042 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (31)

I only realized it was inappropriate when the words slipped out.

Just as he was about to apologize, Shen Linyuan brazenly chimed in, "Really? I'll invite you all to my wedding banquet then."

After saying that, he went back to reading other memorials, as if he hadn't been affected by the little incident at all.

He didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak either.

He just frowned in confusion, thinking: the other regents are all ambitious and covetous of the throne.

Shen Linyuan, on the other hand, covets... the Empress's position!

Compared to that, they are much more obedient.

… …

Si Jin got out of bed and leaned back listlessly, studying the unfinished plot while teasing Xiao Yao with a cat toy.

Just as he was engrossed in reading, he heard a eunuch's voice outside reporting: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Anguo's memorial has been delivered."

Duke of Anguo?

Si Jin responded, then straightened his clothes and went out, sitting down at his desk and opening the memorial.

The content was nothing more than that the Imperial Guards should have listened to the Emperor, but now they all listened to Shen Linyuan, the imperial power was slipping away, and the country was on the verge of collapse.

On the surface, she was considering his interests, but in reality, she was trying to sow discord between him and Shen Linyuan.

Tsk, their self-destructive behavior is utterly unoriginal.

Si Jin put the memorial down and was about to close it when she noticed that a piece of paper had fallen out.

Once opened, the contents written on it were far more provocative than any memorial to the throne.

The inscription on it was densely packed with characters, detailing how, back then, it was not the Northern Barbarians who wiped out the entire Shen family, but... the original owner's father.

At the time, he was wary of the Shen family's powerful military force and their overwhelming achievements, so he sent people disguised as enemy troops to annihilate the entire Shen family.

Apart from Shen Linyuan, all forty-six members of the Shen family who fought for the country as vanguard were killed by their own emperor, with none escaping death.

Shen Linyuan discovered the truth and harbored deep hatred for the Nangong royal family.

Therefore, all these years of supporting him were merely to use him to control the court; they had no genuine feelings for him whatsoever.

At the very end of the paper, a heart-wrenching message was written:

Your Majesty, please forgive me. To prevent Shen Linyuan from interfering, I can only inform you of this matter in this way. Shen Linyuan is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Your Majesty must not be deceived by him, lest you ruin the century-old foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty and chill the hearts of loyal ministers and generals!

His words were earnest, as if Si Jin would be betraying the world and her ancestors if she continued to associate with Shen Linyuan.

Therefore, the reason why Shen Linyuan initially wanted to make the eldest prince emperor was because he really wanted a puppet who would obey his every word.

At first, she didn't accept his advances because she didn't want to get involved with someone surnamed Nangong.

But these...

Si Jin's Adam's apple bobbed, revealing little emotion, but he turned and grabbed Xiao Yao, throwing her onto the paper: "Couldn't you have investigated this matter sooner? Did you need someone else to tell me?!"

With just one shout, the little tiger's fur stood on end.

Xiao Yao lowered her head, quickly scanned the information, and blinked blankly twice.

My lord, actually back then... ah!

Before she could finish speaking, she fell back into her sea of ​​consciousness, biting her handkerchief and secretly shedding tears.

What it actually meant was that Xiao Tianjun didn't hate you back then; he didn't stay with you because he was afraid of ruining your future.

That's why I haven't mentioned these things.

Throughout all these dimensions, Xiao Yao always thought that if Little Heavenly Lord didn't care, the adults wouldn't care either, but it turns out... that's not true.

Xiao Yao sat up, supporting himself on his paws. He managed to maintain his balance with his beard, and then he noticed that there was a small dark room barrier around him.

So... what does the adult want to do now?

Outside the palace, out of Xiao Yao's sight, only the chief eunuch, Eunuch Liu, heard Si Jin's instructions.

He said, "Bring me a bramble!"
