He gently pinched Si Jin's face with his right hand, his thumb intentionally or unintentionally brushing against his soft lips.
His tone revealed obvious disappointment: "He's talking in his sleep again. What if I take it seriously?"
“I am a notorious traitor in Southern Liang, hated by everyone. If you grant my request, you will never be with anyone else.”
"Otherwise, I might lose control and skin that person alive, turn him into a lantern."
"If you disobey, I might put on a set of chains, lock you up, and order you not to wear underwear for several days and nights, forcing you to obey me..."
"good……"
Si Jin spoke up once again at the opportune moment, completely throwing Wei Linyuan off balance.
He had no time to consider whether the person was awake or not; his fingers stopped moving, and he quickly asked, "What did you say?"
Say it again.
But as soon as she finished asking the question, Si Jin bit her finger as if punishing her.
A slight pain came over him, but it was like a dazzling firework exploding in the heart of the Ninth Prince.
Wei Linyuan couldn't help but smile.
Alright, since we've come this far...
From now on, Mu Sijin will have no other choice but him.
Wei Linyuan lowered his head, gently placed Si Jin down, and then withdrew his hand.
He slowly brought his fingers to his lips and lightly kissed the spot where Si Jin had just bitten.
The smile in his eyes was both wild and tender: "Little prince, we... will meet again tomorrow."
After saying that, he quickly climbed out of the palace and left the royal palace.
He returned and wrote a memorial overnight, forcing Zhu Ziqing to withdraw the imperial edict appointing Si Jin as empress and release him from the palace.
Little did he know that after he left, Si Jin opened her eyes and stretched.
Speaking with divine sense: Three sentences to make the Heavenly Emperor go through fire and water for me, have you learned it?
Xiao Yao: 【(⊙o⊙)】
[I've failed to learn this!]
… …
The following morning, Wei Linyuan, together with his officials, forced Zhu Ziqing to stop his campaign against the people of Northern Qi and release Si Jin under the pretext of maintaining friendly relations between Qi and Liang.
Zhu Ziqing had no choice but to agree with resentment. He also followed Wei Linyuan's instructions and sent Si Jin to Xuanyuan Academy, the highest institution of learning in Southern Liang, to become a beast-taming instructor.
Ultimately, Wei Linyuan went mad because of his power and influence.
He had snatched the imperial seal from him in court and had drafted imperial edicts himself quite often before.
To avoid losing face, Zhu Ziqing would not become his enemy unless absolutely necessary.
After receiving the imperial decree, Wei Linyuan immediately went to find Si Jin, wanting to give him a surprise.
But when they arrived at Jiaofang Palace, they saw Consort Shu, who was on good terms with Mu Siyu, standing in the courtyard of Jiaofang Palace with four or five eunuchs holding whips, unaware of the situation.
He reached out and threw a red jade bracelet into the artificial lake in the courtyard.
They glared at Si Jin, who was sunbathing by the door, and made a sarcastic threat.
"Oh dear, Your Majesty, I've come to pay my respects, but you've lost my bracelet?"
“This bracelet was given to me by the Ninth Prince at the palace banquet on New Year’s Eve last year. He thought I danced well.”
"You just lost it like that, isn't that against the rules?"
Si Jin remained silent, her indifferent attitude only instilling a unique sense of frustration in Consort Shu.
Apart from Mu Siyu, she held the most power in the entire harem.
She used to work for Mu Siyu and often beat Mu Sijin with a whip.
She came to help Mu Siyu get revenge after hearing that he had been humiliated yesterday.
But who gave Mu Sijin the audacity to look down on her like that?
"Ha, what's there to be so proud of? You think you can rely on the Ninth Prince just because he saved you yesterday? Don't be silly!"
"The Ninth Prince is thirty-two this year and has never cared about anyone. He just wants the Ministry of Revenue's money and happened to be using you. You actually took it seriously?"
“My brother helps the Ninth Prince with his accounting. If you offend me, the Ninth Prince will definitely not let you off.”
As she spoke, she took the whip, which was soaked in salt water, from a young eunuch and threatened in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you were lucky yesterday, but today..."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Before Consort Shu could finish speaking, she heard the sound of the eunuchs bowing behind her.
He hurriedly turned around and bowed to the author.
A thought flashed through my mind – hadn't Wei Linyuan come here yesterday? Why is he here again?
Could it be that she has really taken a liking to this crown prince of a fallen kingdom?
Consort Shu was in a state of confusion and was about to make a false accusation when Si Jin spoke up: "You say that the Ninth Prince is using me, then today I will show you what true exploitation is."
After saying that, she ignored Consort Shu's ugly expression, got up on her own, came to Wei Linyuan's side, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips.
Then, turning to Consort Shu, she gently complained, "Consort Shu framed me by throwing away the bracelet. She used to beat me all the time. I feel wronged. Please help me get revenge."
