Chapter 2013 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (Part 2)
Bright red blood seeped from the corner of her lips. It hadn't damaged her heart and wasn't fatal, but Yi Ke was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, as if she had just walked through the gates of hell.
His pupils suddenly dilated, as if he couldn't believe that Si Jin, who was eccentric and believed in loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, would give him a straight sword strike.
Before, this child was the closest to him, and he would always save the best things for him.
What now...?
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Yi Ke never expected that the sword piercing her body was just the beginning.
Next, Si Jin actually gripped the sword hilt and slowly rotated it halfway around his wound.
The pain was excruciating, and Yi Ke screamed in despair. Her vision blurred, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
In a daze, he seemed to realize that Si Jin had stopped and quickly stuffed something into his arms.
But his ears were ringing and his vision was blurry. By the time he realized what was happening, noisy footsteps were already approaching the main hall.
As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Yi Ke got up from the ground, mustered all her strength, and opened her eyes with all her might.
She lightly bit her lower lip, and her red eyes quickly filled with tears, making her look pitiful and arousing people's protective instincts.
The eldest prince was initially attracted to him because of his appearance.
If he could shift all the blame for poisoning the Third Prince onto Si Jin, he would surely be saved.
When the time comes, we'll fabricate a tragic and beautiful story to entice the Crown Prince even more!
Just as I was thinking, suddenly, whoosh—
Si Jin directly pulled the sword out of his body, slowly walked up to him, and contacted Xiao Yao with displeasure.
Just now, if you hadn't cried out and stopped me, I could have spun my sword around and dug a hole right through him.
[My lord, it's not that I'm wailing, it's a system notification: if you actually spin around once, this piece of trash will die.]
【But didn't you want to keep him alive to torture people? If he dies, you'll complain that it's not fun anymore, and then I'll be the one in the wrong QAQ】
The little tiger bit its handkerchief, offering a poignant and aggrieved reminder.
It also wanted to add, "You're still recovering; you don't have divine power to guarantee your survival. You can't abuse people like this."
But I dare not (ó﹏ò)
Adults find the phrase "divine power recuperation period" most annoying, and they have to rack their brains to find other alternatives.
My brain capacity is simply insufficient!
Fortunately, this time, Si Jin didn't make things difficult for it.
His attention quickly returned to Yi Ke, and he suddenly raised his foot—bang!
He kicked the man to the ground and stomped hard on his chest.
The sword tip dipped down, slowly lifting the eunuch's fair chin.
Seeing Yi Ke's innocent expression crack, Si Jin slowly revealed a smile.
"Eunuch Yi," he exclaimed, "Your face is truly beautiful, delicate and refined. No wonder my imperial brother likes it."
"Tell me, if I just cut it like this, will you still have any advantage?"
His voice wasn't loud; in fact, it was gentle and pleasant to listen to.
To Yi Ke, however, it became an extreme threat.
No, he's only winning the Crown Prince's favor with his looks now. "No, no... Ahhh—"
Amidst the desperate screams, Si Jin's laughter grew even more melodious: "Oops, I accidentally tore it, it's not pretty anymore."
"How about I make a few more cuts to make it symmetrical for you?"
"No...no..."
"Don't mention it, you deserve it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp tip of the sword rolled wildly across his cheek.
Yi Ke was utterly desperate and could only force herself to keep her eyes open, hoping that the court officials would arrive soon.
Finally, amidst the bloodshed, he spotted a tall, white figure, even his official boots were white with dark silver patterns.
It is the Regent, Shen Linyuan!
That's great. Shen Linyuan has always been upright and incorruptible, and he has the least faith in Nangong Sijin.
With his arrival, I'll be saved!
As soon as she saw the person cross the threshold, Yi Ke immediately opened her mouth excitedly.
But before he could even utter a word, Si Jin pierced his shoulder blade with a single sword strike.
An overwhelming pain suddenly struck, and Yi Ke's consciousness became blurred, unable to even utter a sound.
After finally regaining his sight, he saw that Si Jin, who had just looked fierce, was now holding the hilt of his sword and crying.
She glared at him hatefully, forcing out a few words through gritted teeth: "Who told you to poison him? Give me back my brother."
Yi Ke: ...
