Seeing the Empress Dowager's anger, the hearts of all the officials were in their throats.
Shen Zhiyu dared not disobey, so he had no choice but to play the victim and pretend to care about Si Jin: "Fortunately, Eunuch Wang was there to test the medicine. Is Duke Liang alright?"
"I'm fine, it's just...it's such a pity about Eunuch Wang." Si Jin continued to rub salt into the wound: "He was His Majesty's confidant..."
Shen Zhiyu's hands clenched so tightly they cracked. Damn it! He's crocodile tears, I really want to kill him!
His eyes were filled with resentment, and his face was almost frozen with a smile: "It doesn't matter, he was just a eunuch. He's dead, so be it. It's good that the Duke of Liang is alright."
"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court is adjourned!"
After the court session, Shen Zhiyu had the body of Eunuch Wang carried back to the palace for his own examination. He removed the disguise skin from Wang's neck and saw three words written in blood on the wound.
[Big Idiot]
"Damn it!" This curse word was one he had taught Mu Sijin before!
Shen Zhiyu blushed, as if he had been slapped twice, and kicked the corpse in front of him over.
"Mu Sijin, I am the true Son of Heaven! I will never let you go!"
After he finished scolding, he called over another eunuch and whispered something in his ear.
… …
The original owner was betrayed during a battle, exposing their ambush location and suffering severe injuries. Due to the toxins in their body, their condition did not improve.
Therefore, Si Jin is now walking unsteadily, her head is a little hot, as if she has a fever, and the cold winter wind makes her look even more fragile.
The Empress Dowager's personal eunuch, Zheng Yingqin, hurriedly followed: "Young Master, this is a hand warmer that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager gave you. Her Majesty specifically instructed this old servant to escort you out."
"Thank you for your trouble." Si Jin replied and was seen off by Zheng Yingqin. But as soon as they reached the palace gate, they found that the wheels of their carriage had been removed and the coachman was gone.
Not far away, two shifty-eyed eunuchs stumbled away, seemingly from Shen Zhiyu's palace.
An emperor dismantling someone else's carriage wheels... that's pretty absurd.
Zheng Yingqin awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Young Master, this carriage... how about this old servant calls another master to give you a ride?"
Just then, a luxurious carriage passed by. Zheng Yingqin hurriedly called out to the person, "Lord Sheng, the Duke of Liang's carriage has broken down. Could you give him a ride?"
The carriage stopped, and a large, well-defined hand lifted the curtain. Sheng Linyuan peeked out, his sharp phoenix eyes falling on Si Jin as he quietly scrutinized him.
Mu Sijin, he used to dislike this person very much. He was pedantic and rigid, always arguing with him in court, and could not be reasoned with.
But for some reason, during the court session just now, I felt that he was more insightful and had a... unique charm.
However, the long-standing hostility still made him snort coldly and habitually lower the carriage curtain.
"Young Master is not very bright to begin with, and he has also injured his leg. He is both stupid and crippled. I don't think much of him. Let whoever wants to give him away take him away."
After saying this, he instructed the driver to drive the carriage.
The carriage started moving again, and Sheng Linyuan, puzzled, clutched his chest.
Strange, he used to tease Mu Sijin all the time, but this time, why does he feel a little uneasy for no reason?
Deep within her consciousness, Xiao Yao also panicked for a moment, trembling as she met her host's calm and unwavering smile.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, this is not something that can be solved by kneeling on a washboard!
Little Heavenly Lord, my candle in this life is lit for you!
Zheng Yingqin hesitated for a moment: "Young Master, please wait a moment, this old servant will go and ask the Empress Dowager to prepare a carriage for you."
"No need, the mansion is not far from here, I can walk by myself." With that, he supported the original owner's body, which was already low in fever, and walked across the snow.
Okay, very good. It's been a long time since I've encountered someone as reckless as Yuan. It's quite amusing.
Then he'll stay with me, okay, okay, let's play, let's play.
Fortunately, Si Jingshen stumbled and staggered to Sheng Linyuan's residence, where she "fainted" right in front of his gate.
