Si Jin's eyes sharpened, and she dodged to the side: "What are you doing?"
Yuwen Linyuan frowned, but still wrapped his arm around his waist, trying to make his actions seem...not so malicious.
“Your outer robe is wet. If you don’t take it off, you’ll get sick.”
"And the imperial physician said," the young wolf-dog said, his ears turning red, "that you need to be mindful of your desires and eat a light diet these days to properly recuperate."
However, when the belt fell off and the outer robe was taken off, Yuwen Linyuan still saw two obvious scars on Si Jin's collarbone.
Some of the marks were grotesque, falling irregularly onto the fair skin, like two scratches on a beautiful jade, easily evoking pity.
Yuwen Linyuan's Adam's apple bobbed. He felt that he was probably going crazy. The more he learned about Gu Sijin, the more he felt that he was like a fine porcelain.
No matter how I protect it, I'm always afraid it will break. I worry about it no matter where I put it.
So, after a short while, he lowered his head and gently kissed the scar, his movements delicate and tender.
A moment later, it slowly covered the delicate lips, the tip of the nose, and the beauty mark under the tear.
In the end, she did nothing but endure it and quietly held him, saying, "Sleep, I'll stay with you."
Hearing this, Si Jin didn't say much. As she closed her eyes and pondered, she gradually understood why Yuwen Linyuan, at such a young age, could gain the trust of all the officials.
He is reasonable, intelligent, articulate, knows when to advance and retreat, and exudes a ruthless fierceness unique to wolves in his every move—that's good.
Such a person is the most suitable to be led by him to overthrow the old emperor's empire, drive out the northern deserts, and reclaim the lost territory.
Si Jin gradually pondered her next plan, then fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, she found herself sleeping on the daybed outside.
I got up and went inside, and there I saw the little wolfhound with red ears making the bed.
Realizing Si Jing was coming, Yuwen Linyuan hurriedly hid the wet sheets behind him: "Um... I... I'll help you change them."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
But Si Jin deliberately played a trick on him, grabbing his hand and forcing him to place the bed sheet in front of her.
His eyes were full of confusion: "Oh dear, what's spilled? Were you drinking tea on my couch?"
“You…” The little wolf gritted his teeth, feeling that although this person was pitiful, he was still bad at heart.
Just as they were about to grab the bed sheet, they heard Uncle Xu's voice from outside.
"Your Excellency, the Eastern Depot has sent people."
"Come in." With that, Si Jin released his hand, letting Yuwen Linyuan leave.
When the adjutant Chen Yang, who came in to report, saw the young prince, he was quite surprised—why was his face so red? He was all puffed up, like a little wife.
Could it be that the Grand Eunuch taught something he shouldn't have?
But these are not things he should concern himself with. Entering the Eastern Depot is like entering a deep sea; doing his job well is the only way to save his life: "Eunuch."
Chen Yang bowed his head and reported: "This is Sun Wuyang's confession. That guy is too cowardly. He was so scared that he wet his pants before he was even tortured and confessed everything."
"Including his hiring of an assassin to kill you, and his collusion with the Yun family to bribe vegetable farmers to slowly poison your food."
"Alright, let's go to the Eastern Depot." Si Jin ignored the little prince gritting his teeth and washing the bed sheets in the backyard, and went out with Chen Yang.
… …
Eastern Depot
Upon seeing Si Jin, Sun Siyuan immediately knelt down with a thud and began frantically kowtowing, showing no trace of his former arrogance.
"Lord Eunuch, Lord Eunuch, please spare me! I did all this under the orders of that vile woman Yun. I had no choice!"
With tears streaming down his face, he accused his mother without any restraint: "Go and arrest the Yun family! I am innocent! Waaah!"
