Yuwen Linyuan couldn't quite articulate his true thoughts, but the sealing of the Gu family residence was inextricably linked to the royal family.
He was worried about Jinjin the whole way, and after seeing her, he frantically prayed that she wouldn't hate him.
I never imagined that even at this point, Jinjin would still be willing to... kiss him...
Yuwen Linyuan walked over, unsure of how to react, when Si Jin slapped him across the face.
Then, weakly, she smashed the entire wine jug at him: "You heartless bastard!"
Si Jin hadn't hit her hard. After uttering that curse, she leaned against the headboard and chuckled softly, "The imperial family is the most ruthless. Today... I've truly witnessed it..."
He had poured a lot of wine on himself before, and now he looked even more like someone who was drowning his sorrows in alcohol: "Were those letters that Yuwen Cheng confiscated from my residence, those letters that were secretly communicating with foreign enemies, placed there by you?"
Yuwen Linyuan's face didn't hurt because Jinjin didn't have much strength left.
But because my face didn't hurt, my heart ached even more, so much so that I could hardly breathe, and I wanted to rush up and hug him tightly.
But fearing he would get angry, she dared not go: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, Jinjin, please believe me..."
Perhaps due to excessive grief, Yuwen Linyuan experienced a sharp, throbbing pain in his heart shortly afterward, which instantly turned his face pale and made it difficult for him to breathe.
He was kneeling on one knee, panting heavily.
At this moment, Si Jin staggered down from the couch, raised her hand and drank the medicine on the table in one gulp. Then, she slowly bent down and knelt face to face with Yuwen Linyuan, tilting her head slightly.
She fed him the medicine, lip to lip.
Seeing that his heartbeat gradually returned to normal, he pushed the man away again, then half-fell to the ground and laughed out loud.
"So, you're also a puppet of this dog emperor."
As the warm medicine went down his throat, Yuwen Linyuan gradually recovered. But then he heard Si Jin stand up and continue, "Little Crown Prince, you've been with me for a long time, but I haven't taught you anything. Anyway, the Gu family is about to disappear, so I'll tell you some strange stories and teach you a lesson."
He slurred, "Does every time you disobey your father, do you experience a sharp pain in your heart, difficulty breathing, and faint from the discomfort?"
"That's because Father Emperor has been poisoned by a curse." This is the most opportune time to say it.
Si Jin continued, "During the few days you've been on my bedside, I noticed that your pulse was abnormal. I thought that if you disobeyed your father's wishes to come see me today, the poison would surely take effect, so I prepared this medicine and left it here for now."
Yuwen Linyuan's heart pain subsided, but his reason was constantly being challenged by Si Jin's words—
He had a chest pain, and his father told him that it was just because he was weak. He said that it was not easy for his father to take care of him, and that he should listen to his father more.
Si Jin: "Your father wanted to make you the crown prince, but fearing that the maternal relatives would interfere in politics, he killed your mother as soon as you were born. No one in the entire clan was spared. The Deng family of Liuzhou was wiped out in one day. At that time, blood flowed all over the land, which shocked the entire Liuzhou. I was five years old at the time and saw it with my own eyes."
But his father told him that his mother had died in childbirth and that he was always saddened whenever he thought of her. So he should listen to his father and let his mother see that they were a harmonious father and son.
Seeing Yuwen Linyuan's shocked expression, Si Jin felt a dull ache in her heart, but she still continued speaking.
Is it painful? But this is an inevitable part of growing up. You can't live your whole life recognizing a thief as your father, can you?
"Also, do you know why my Gu family is being investigated?" Si Jin said, picking up the wine pot again and stumbling over to Yuwen Linyuan's side.
The strong scent of alcohol emanating from him made him even more alluring, like a dessert with a liqueur filling: "Because the people have no money to pay their annual tribute, your father wants to take it from me, cough cough cough..."
As he spoke, he coughed twice, which caused tears to well up in his eyes, mingling with the alcohol and dripping onto his scarred collarbone. His thin lips curled into a smile, revealing a deep sense of heartbreak.
