"Your Highness." After confirming that Yuwen Cheng understood his situation, Si Jin spoke softly, "Look, it's unlikely that you'll leave today. Why don't you stay and have a cup of tea? I brewed it myself."
Yuwen Cheng barely managed to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes, his heart pounding: "Gu Sijin, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, murdering a prince is equivalent to treason! You are too audacious."
After all, he still held his position, so Yuwen Cheng spoke timidly, hoping that such a threat would make Si Jin think twice.
But the next moment, the man pulled out the sword hidden under the table and held it to his neck.
Si Jin drew his sword too quickly, and when the blade stopped at Yuwen Cheng's neck, the skin on his neck was broken, and blood slowly trickled down.
Yuwen Cheng suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and despite the pain, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
In an instant, an overwhelming sense of humiliation almost overwhelmed him. No, how could this be?
He had originally planned to see Gu Sijin kneel and beg him today, but now the situation has completely reversed.
But in order to survive, Yuwen Cheng accepted the tea that Si Jin had brewed without hesitation, took a sip with a forced smile, and thought: at least the tea was brewed by Gu Si Jin, so his status is a little higher than Gu Si Jin's when he drinks tea.
Having finally managed to console himself with a "spiritual victory method," Yuwen Cheng immediately tried to save face, saying, "You still remember to make tea for me, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work." Si Jin smiled kindly: "To administer the poison to His Highness, of course I have to do it myself. I'm afraid that someone else's poison is too weak and won't be enough to kill His Highness."
Splash—
Yuwen Cheng dropped the teacup in his hand, and with utter despair, he looked up at the high and mighty god.
"Gu, Si, Jin, I'll fight you to the death... Aaaaaah!!!"
But just as she darted forward, Si Jin whistled, her stomach began to cramp, and she collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.
Having finally caught her breath, she heard Si Jin calmly state her conditions: "Go tell your father that the evidence you found before was all wrong. My crime does not warrant death, nor can I be exiled from the capital."
“Gu family, I will still give you the money, but you must open the national treasury a day in advance and secretly remove all guards from the road.”
After a long pause to process what he heard, Yuwen Cheng finally reacted: "You...you dare to rob the national treasury..."
"It's about robbing the rich to help the poor." Si Jin's voice was gentle, but the smile in his eyes grew deeper. "It's the true nature of a man of the martial world. You've been plundering the people's wealth anyway, so what's wrong with giving it back to the people?"
"Besides, you just saw it yourself. If you don't do as I say, I can kill you with just two whistles."
“However,” Si Jin lowered her head and suddenly used the tip of her sword to lift Yuwen Cheng’s chin, “if you behave yourself, I can also heal your other eye.”
With such a temptation right in front of him, Yuwen Cheng couldn't help but be tempted. Without thinking, he hurriedly agreed, looking up at Si Jin with pleading eyes: "I promise you, please heal my eyes quickly!"
He's a prince! He can't go blind from now on!
He'll be laughed at to death by the other princes!
"Okay." Si Jin stood up in response, and in the blink of an eye, she gouged out Yuwen Cheng's blind eye. She even thoughtfully placed the eyeball in his palm with the tip of her sword, and said modestly, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do."
Yuwen Cheng's face turned black with anger, his lips turned white with pain, and his breathing trembled. He was like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.
But fearing that Si Jin would whistle again, he dared not voice any objections. Even the national treasury was about to be forcibly lost, yet he still had to defy his father's wishes to save Gu Si Jin...
Was he really here to ransack Gu Sijin's house? I have this strange feeling that Gu Sijin ransacked his house.
