Yuwen Cheng's eyes widened, and he shouted without hesitation, "Open them! Open all the boxes here!"
How could this happen? He clearly saw the Imperial Guards pack and seal these boxes, so why did this change occur?
Yuwen Cheng was unaware that the box had already been switched by Si Jin's men when it arrived at his residence.
Staring at the dozen or so large boxes filled with stones, Yuwen Cheng seemed to have lost his soul, leaning blankly against his wheelchair.
A moment later, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight, if I don't kill Gu Sijin, I'll change my surname on the spot!"
… …
How stupid. Seeing this, Si Jin chuckled softly, and said with a touch of heartache: It's just a pity that if it weren't for the need to ensure the box had weight, I wouldn't even want to give him the stone.
"But it seems like he's going to cause you trouble." Xiao Yao said, while looking down and rummaging through the wooden box.
It took some effort to find a white candle, which I then carefully placed on the small table to the side.
Si Jin raised an eyebrow: What are you doing?
The little tiger clasped its paws together, its azure eyes filled with sincerity: "Judging from your appearance, I have a feeling he's nearing his end. Prepare to attack."
After the meal, Yuwen Linyuan returned to the palace.
Now is the time when his good father is suffering the most, how can he be absent?
After taking good care of Jinjin, you should go back, enjoy the view properly, and then kill Yuwen Cheng!
… …
As night fell and lanterns were lit, the courtyard was illuminated with lanterns of various colors. High-ranking officials and nobles thronged around, and Si Jin, unusually, was not in the mood for such leisure. He leaned against the railing, quietly waiting for his prey to come to him.
Sure enough, a short while later, Yuwen Cheng was pushed in by Sun Ziyu in a wheelchair.
Upon entering the main hall, he shouted to Madam Mei, who was greeting guests, "Bring me Gu Sijin, the Prince. I want to hear him play a piece!"
Playing music in public at the Gūnhōin was something only vulgar musicians would do, and was despised by the literati.
For Gu Sijin, who was once a third-rank official, this was an immense humiliation.
Madam Mei's expression changed, and the words "You're not worthy" stuck in her throat, but she swallowed them down after a few twists and turns.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness." She bowed her head and said, "Young Master Gu has been taken care of by His Highness the Crown Prince and does not see outsiders."
"Crown Prince? What is he!" Yuwen Cheng, harboring ambitions to usurp the throne, was extremely arrogant: "Since ancient times, the throne has always been established by the eldest son of the legitimate wife. The eldest prince is dead, so I am the eldest son, and he still has to call me brother!"
"Bring out Gu Sijin right now, or I'll have the Imperial Guards tear down your brothel!"
He has already had the imperial physician remove the Gu poison from his body, so why would he be afraid of Gu Sijin?
He won't rest until he gouges out one of this bastard's eyes!
Sun Ziyu, who was standing to the side, also carefully reached out and tidied his wind-blown hair, her eyes full of admiration.
The Second Prince is indeed wise and capable; she made the right choice in following him.
After seeing Gu Sijin make a fool of herself today, I must go home and tell my parents about it.
"you……"
"It seems that Your Highness is so poor that you have to resort to using the Embroidered Uniform Guard to intimidate people. I wonder if you are willing to spend the money on this song, which costs a thousand gold pieces?"
Si Jin stopped Madam Mei and slowly descended the mahogany stairs. Her long black hair was tied loosely behind her back with a red rope, which was occasionally lifted by the wind, giving her a cool and aloof charm.
With her floor-length robe, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and the slight curve of her red lips, she silenced everyone in the hall.
There is a beautiful woman in the north whose smile can topple a city, but even she could not match this beauty.
Even Yuwen Cheng, consumed by hatred, was momentarily dazed, unconsciously murmuring, "So beautiful..."
Sun Ziyu pinched his neck hard and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Are you crazy? That's Gu Sijin!"
