It's not just Mu Sijin who knows how to manipulate people's hearts; he can too.
Shen Zhiyu sat on the dragon throne and continued to speak according to the system's instructions: "His Highness the Crown Prince is ignorant, and I will compensate him for the money without fail. However, Duke Liang, the Crown Prince is still young. The Imperial Advisor said that his heart ailment was left in the Duke's mansion and can only be cured by performing a ritual with your blood."
"Didn't you just say that you believed the Crown Prince didn't do it on purpose? Then using a little blood to save a child isn't so bad, is it?"
His words were clever, completely turning the deadly trap that Si Jin had just set into his hands.
[Tsk.] Little Yao frowned its short eyebrows: [This guy's IQ has improved since being used by the Heavenly Lord.]
"Mm." Si Jin responded without saying anything more.
His right fist clenched almost imperceptibly, as if he had encountered some difficulty, and he stood there blankly.
Sheng Linyuan was extremely anxious and was about to say something when he heard Si Jin say, "Alright, His Highness the Crown Prince's matter is the most important."
Upon hearing his agreement, Shen Zhiyu was so happy that he almost stood up from the dragon throne.
Great! That bitch Mu Sijin has finally taken the bait!
Once he has seized all the fortune, let's see who dares to criticize him! He will be the ruler of the world!
"Someone come here! Bring me a dagger and some bowls!"
After Shen Zhiyu finished speaking, several eunuchs brought things up.
Si Jin didn't hesitate either, taking a few steps forward and lightly slashing her forearm.
Blood dripped down, and Shen Zhiyu stared intently at the blood in the bowl, his eyes shining like a miser who had found a gold mine, and he unconsciously swallowed.
As the dishes were cleared away, the smile on his lips grew even wider: "Hahaha! Quick, someone come and bandage the Duke of Liang..."
"No need, Your Majesty," Si Jin said. "I am unwell and will take my leave now."
After speaking, without bowing or obtaining the emperor's permission, he turned and left the court.
The cold attitude and impolite behavior were like an invisible slap in the face of Shen Zhiyu, mocking his incompetence as an emperor.
Shen Zhiyu's smile froze, but she quickly regained her composure.
Damn it! I'll let you be smug for a few days. Anyway, I've got the blood, and I'll soon be ruling the world.
When the time comes, we'll cut off your head and use it as a decoration!
… …
After the court session, Sheng Linyuan kept replaying the scene of Si Jin slashing her arm with a dagger in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
He wished he could just grab a knife and rush into the palace, chop down that vile woman on the dragon throne, and kidnap Jinjin back to his country to be his empress.
Out of worry, he quickened his pace and found Si Jin's carriage first.
There was no one on the bus, and he became even more anxious, his eyes even turning red.
After searching around without success, just as he was about to get into his own carriage to look for it, he saw the young master leaning comfortably against the carriage curtain, holding a brocade box in his hand.
"Before going to court, I saw an official flattering you and giving you strawberries, so I rushed over to steal two. You don't mind, do you?"
He wouldn't care about these things at all.
Sheng Linyuan felt a little relieved and hurriedly sat back down next to the man, immediately taking his left hand and pulling up his sleeve.
The wounds were still quite deep, stained with a few drops of blood, which was heartbreaking.
Just as he was about to pull off the official robe to bandage it, Si Jin lazily withdrew his hand, gently peeled it off, and a layer of fake disguise skin on his forearm fell off.
“It’s fake.” He tossed the fake skin into the carriage and laughed, “It’s filled with the blood of a pig from our Duke’s manor that’s about to be slaughtered.”
“I guessed this day would come, so I made this little mechanism in advance, so that Shen Zhiyu can use its blood to save his son.”
Let Shen Zhiyu and this pig that is about to be slaughtered exchange their luck.
