His lips... smell so good...
The fleeting kiss made Wei Linyuan's heart skip a beat.
A tingling sensation spread from his lips, gradually reaching his nerve endings, causing his earlobes to unconsciously turn a blush, and his hand holding the imperial edict tightened slightly.
Wei Linyuan did not steal a kiss last night, intending to ask Si Jin's opinion again today.
After all, to the young crown prince, he was just a eunuch from Southern Liang, and the two had only met once properly.
I'm always afraid of being too forward when I kiss her.
Even though he was crazy, he had thought about imprisoning people in chains.
But he knew very well that what he wanted was a lifelong partner, not just a fleeting pleasure, and he needed to be careful.
But just now...
Why would Mu Sijin kiss him first?
What a wonderful surprise!
Wei Linyuan's lips gradually turned up, and without asking a single question, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
After speaking, he turned his cold gaze to Consort Shu.
Consort Shu was startled by Wei Linyuan's gaze. Before she could react, her lips immediately turned white.
"Your Excellency... it wasn't me... I never wronged him, I only came here today..."
"Just what?" Wei Linyuan persisted, "I saw you lose your bracelet outside the palace just now, and you blamed it on me. What, you made trouble out of nothing and now you think it's my fault?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not."
"It's best if you don't dare." Wei Linyuan turned his gaze to the lake beside him, where the autumn wind rippled. He casually stroked the imperial edict with one hand and continued, "I remember that the jade bracelet was obtained by your brother at last year's palace banquet. If it weren't for the fact that your brother has some ability to do accounting, I wouldn't have given it to you."
"If you lose it now, you're disrespecting me. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to retrieve it."
"Otherwise, they will be transferred to the Censorate for severe punishment on charges of disrespecting His Majesty the Ninth Prince."
The thousand-year-old, dressed in a bewitching red robe, fluttered lightly in the wind, his handsome brows showing no trace of fierceness.
But it was like a demon from hell, so frightening that Consort Shu dared not utter a word of rebuttal. She quickly turned around and jumped into the artificial lake without regard for her image.
As the autumn waters grew cool, Consort Shu dived underwater, searching tirelessly for the bracelet.
Why?
Why?
She came here today clearly wanting Mu Sijin to jump down and retrieve the bracelet.
But now, she is the one who is humbled and soaked to the bone.
Wei Linyuan is already thirty-two, what kind of behavior is he showing towards a twenty-year-old deposed crown prince of Northern Qi?!
Mu Sijin kissed a eunuch in public! That's really disgusting.
As Consort Shu searched for the bracelet, she cursed inwardly.
Fortunately, she could swim, and with great difficulty, she floated to the shore, shivering from the cold. As soon as she reached the shore, she held up the bracelet to Wei Linyuan, only to see Wei Linyuan kick it back into the water.
He continued, "A quarter of an hour has passed. The Imperial Concubine has not found the bracelet. She is sent to the Censorate and given one hundred lashes with a whip soaked in salt water."
Recalling the injuries he saw on Si Jin's body last night, Wei Linyuan's murderous aura intensified.
Although Jinjin's injuries may not have been entirely caused by the whipping of Consort Shu.
But he will deal with those who harmed the young prince one by one, slowly and deliberately.
Consort Shu was pulled ashore by several eunuchs, pleading with tears streaming down her face, "Your Majesty, my brother has been doing your accounting, please forgive my unintentional mistake..."
“Oh right, you reminded me,” Wei Linyuan said. “I will inform your brother that he lost his job because of you.”
Lost your job?
No! You can't!
Her brother lost his position serving the Ninth Prince. What leverage will she have left to act arrogantly in the palace?
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Say another word, and you'll get two hundred lashes."
Consort Shu shut her mouth completely, knowing she couldn't win against Wei Linyuan, and could only obediently go down to receive her punishment with tears in her eyes.
She clenched her hands so tightly that she almost bit her lips until they bled.
Wei Linyuan! He's just a eunuch, not even a real man, so why is he so arrogant?
One day His Majesty will reclaim the throne and execute you by tearing you to pieces!
… …
After Consort Shu left, Wei Linyuan summoned Si Jin into the palace, saying he had an imperial decree to be delivered.
Entering the house is not enough; you also have to close the windows and shut the door yourself.
Si Jin tilted her head and blinked innocently: "Lord Wei, what kind of imperial edict is so special that it must be heard inside the palace?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body was suddenly lifted into the air.
Si Jin was startled for a moment, and subconsciously hooked her arms around Wei Linyuan's neck. By the time she realized what was happening, he had already placed her on the couch.
