Lin Gonggong, stunned by Si Jin's methods of murder: ? ? ?
The trembling musicians and dancers: ? ? ?
The rebels who aren't quite dead yet: ? ? ?
Your Majesty, you didn't say that when you were selecting people to kill!
Upon hearing this, Gu Linyuan's imposing figure froze completely.
His hands, clasped together in a bowing gesture, trembled slightly.
What's this ingrate up to now?
Isn't Yun Mu Nian the only one in his heart?
Didn't they never take him, the minister who had worked so diligently to support and raise him, seriously?
When I was little, I always called him "Uncle," but the older I get, the less well-mannered I become!
Half a year ago, he was sent to the northern frontier to eat sand because he broke a luminous pearl. Why is he acting all cute and clingy with him now?
"Your Majesty," Gu Linyuan replied solemnly, his eyes lowered.
"The distinction between ruler and subject must be observed, and propriety cannot be disregarded. Since Your Majesty is free of trouble, I will not disturb you any further."
I'll take my leave now.
"Is my royal uncle still angry with me?"
Seeing that Gu Linyuan was about to leave, Si Jin immediately spoke up to stop him:
"Are you still blaming me for sending you to the northern frontier?"
Gu Linyuan's departure was forced to stop, and he bowed again:
"Your subject dares not."
"Uncle, I was wrong."
Si Jin rested her arms on the dragon table, her hands supporting her head, her red eyes highlighting a barely noticeable beauty mark at the corner of her eye.
She just looked at Luo Linyuan obediently.
It looks just like a pure and innocent little white rabbit:
"I remember when I was twelve years old, my father passed away and entrusted me to you."
You were only twenty years old then.
You taught me martial arts and how to be a person, but I don't quite understand. I feel that you have restricted me, and I often get angry with you.
Now that I am twenty years old, I finally understand your good intentions back then.
Do you remember? You and my father were close friends despite our age difference, and I've called you "Uncle" since I was a child.
I was really wrong, and I apologize to you.
"Please be magnanimous and don't be angry with me, okay?"
The boy tried to please him cautiously, like a cat that had made a mistake.
Even if you apologize in the noblest way, you will find no reason to refuse.
Gu Linyuan gripped his hand tighter, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing slightly as he stared intently at the frail young man on the dragon throne.
When the late emperor passed away, he grabbed my sleeve and cried, but the sleeve only reached my waist.
In the blink of an eye, they've all grown up so much.
Red eyes and a well-behaved attitude.
How can anyone be angry at someone looking like that?
Seeing the change in Gu Linyuan's eyes, a fleeting smugness flashed in Si Jin's eyes.
Like a hunter who has successfully completed his hunt, he continues to lure his prey into the most intricate trap:
"Uncle, you always held me when I was a child."
Those rebels were terrifying! My legs went weak with fear. Please carry me back to the palace, okay?
Such an emperor left all the soldiers behind Gu Linyuan stunned.
Your Majesty is so well-behaved and adorable.
His harmonious relationship with the general was also enviable.
Noticing the strange looks from the soldiers behind him, Gu Linyuan felt inexplicably annoyed.
His little emperor was acting cute with him, so why are these people watching?
He immediately cleared his throat and loudly gave the order:
"Everyone, step back! Dispose of the rebel corpses, and then take all these musicians and dancers who disrespected His Majesty into the imperial prison to await trial."
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers obeyed and withdrew in an orderly fashion.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Eunuch Lin quickly flicked his whisk, bowed, and left.
"This old servant will go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some wine and dishes to welcome General Gu and wash away the dust of his journey."
Having said that, he tactfully withdrew.
The empty hall was soon left with only Si Jin and Gu Linyuan.
Si Jin sat upright on the dragon throne, revealing two small tiger teeth, and opened her arms to Gu Linyuan:
"Uncle Gu—"
"hug--"
Gu Linyuan strode over with his long legs and lightly lifted the boy up.
His bright, piercing eyes were filled with the satisfaction of "my child has finally grown up."
She stroked the emperor's soft, long hair with a mixture of affection and tenderness:
"Your Majesty, you must never be willful again. What will you do if I am not by your side?"
"Then Uncle will stay by my side forever."
As Si Jin spoke, she suddenly cupped Gu Linyuan's face and placed a kiss on his lips, which had become chapped from the war.
After the kiss, he gently licked the corner of his lips.
It's like reminiscing, and it's also like seduction.
"Uncle, I miss you so much."
Gu Linyuan froze on the spot for a moment.
