Chapter 2026 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (15)
The eldest prince's pupils contracted sharply, probably after using all his brainpower to react and dodge to the side.
The next moment, swish—
The longsword pierced straight into the brocade box containing the vase in his hand, the tip protruding with tremendous force, leaving a deep, bloody gash on his wrist with lightning speed.
Then, whoosh—
The vase in the brocade box was broken.
The eldest prince was stunned, unable to tell whether it was the sound of a vase shattering or the sound of his heart breaking.
This vase cost him 150,000 taels of silver and went through countless hardships to bring back from the Western Regions!
No, it's his hand!!!
Overwhelmed by fear, the eldest prince's eyes instantly turned red. He dropped the brocade box in his hand and turned to accuse Si Jin.
But the competition in the training ground seemed to have no end. Si Jin, for some unknown reason, took the initiative to step forward and use her leg to meet Shen Linyuan's silver spear.
Although the man managed to restrain himself in time, he still fell to the ground, letting out a deep hiss as if he were faking an accident.
"Forced" himself to sit up, he rubbed his ankle: "I'm not fighting anymore, isn't this just trying to kill me?"
Shen Linyuan: ...
The man paused, then casually tossed the spear back into the weapon trough, and walked over with his head down: "Let me see."
Unfortunately, as soon as he reached out his hand, Si Jin slapped it away.
The teenager, thin and frail, gritted his teeth and stood up. In a fit of pique, he dragged his injured leg toward the door, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
For some reason, looking at that figure, Shen Linyuan suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
Over this period of time, he and Xiao Sijin had become quite familiar with each other. The boy was only a teenager and had nowhere to stay in the palace. What would he do if he went out?
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Linyuan still couldn't bring himself to do it. He took a few big steps and then picked up Si Jin with one hand.
Given the previous experience of helping someone resist vomiting, this hug carried a more tender meaning.
Standing over 190cm tall, she could easily hug the boy with one hand, while her other hand hung down, gently squeezing his ankle. Even her voice unconsciously softened: "It's not too serious. Applying some ice will make it much better."
"It's none of your business."
"Your Highness, what are you saying? I am your royal uncle, it is my duty to care." As he walked off the training ground, Shen Linyuan's gaze was fixed on Si Jin, and he didn't even glance at the eldest prince standing to the side.
The guard cautiously came to remind him, and reluctantly said, "I have other matters to attend to. Please wait in the main hall, Your Highness."
After saying that, he strode away.
The words of refusal reached the ears of the eldest prince, forcing him to look up and see Si Jin leaning peacefully on Shen Linyuan's shoulder.
That bitch seemed to have succeeded in some plan, and even turned back to look at him, her lips moving as if she were saying something.
The eldest prince didn't hear clearly and stood there stunned for a long time before he realized that Si Jin was mocking him!
The quote was something like: "I've taken both the throne and the people."
grass!
With his blood rushing to his head, the eldest prince coughed violently twice. For the sake of the throne, he had no choice but to endure it, letting his servants treat his wounds. Then, he waited for Shen Linyuan in the main hall, facing the cold wind.
It took up the whole afternoon.
After much persuasion, it was already evening when they finally convinced Shen Linyuan to allow him and Si Jin to participate in the imperial examination.
Shen Linyuan didn't even say a word about food before kicking him out of the mansion.
Although the eldest prince was foolish, he understood Shen Linyuan's bias. He never expected that during the time he was avoiding the rumors, Si Jin would gain such a huge advantage!
Fortunately, the imperial examination cannot be faked. As long as he becomes the top scholar, nothing will change!
… …
It was already late at night when the eldest prince left.
After chatting for about an hour, I wondered if Xiao Sijin had fallen asleep. Perhaps... I should sneak over and check on her?
