"Your Majesty has been levying exorbitant taxes in Northern Qi, and now you are mistreating the war god and crown prince of Northern Qi. Aren't you afraid that the people of Northern Qi will retaliate in anger?"
Wei Linyuan smiled and reminded him, "Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If that day comes, His Majesty's head may roll on the ground."
Wei Linyuan is... threatening him!
The hidden meaning is: If you don't apologize, I'll chop you up right now!
Zhu Ziqing felt a chill on his neck and his whole body involuntarily shivered.
He had no money or soldiers, and relied on the support of a few civil officials and concubines. He dared not disobey Wei Linyuan.
Out of fear, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around, and kowtow to Si Jin to apologize.
Only then did he lead his group away, filled with humiliation—
Wei Linyuan! Mu Sijin! I will definitely take revenge!
… …
After Zhu Ziqing and his entourage left, Wei Linyuan turned around and said, "I will have a few people clean the courtyard for His Highness in a little while."
Although he was from the Southern Liang Dynasty, he addressed her as "Your Highness" instead of the insulting "Empress."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, Si Jin grabbed his clothes.
Wei Linyuan turned around and saw the young man in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes looking up at him intently.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes held a glimmer of light, more beautiful than the stars in the night sky.
He heard Si Jin ask, "Why did you help me?"
Why?
It's hard to say, even Wei Linyuan himself couldn't explain it.
His purpose in coming here today was to deliver the list of executed prisoners to Zhu Ziqing.
But seeing the suffering young prince, he couldn't help but want to protect him.
Love at first sight?
That's ridiculous.
Is it lust at first sight?
But he didn't have much desire for Mu Sijin.
To be precise, ever since experiencing that catastrophe, he has had little desire for anything in the world.
Saving people was simply because I felt that someone as wonderful as Mu Sijin shouldn't be tainted by those flies.
“I didn’t help you,” Wei Linyuan lied casually. “I was just asking for a job in the Ministry of Revenue for myself.”
After saying that, he stepped out the door.
As he walked, he comforted himself: "It's alright. There's a huge difference in status between him and Mu Sijin. There was no future for them anyway."
Moreover, in recent years, his mental health has deteriorated, and his mental illness has become increasingly severe. It would be terrible if he were to hurt someone.
Wei Linyuan left the palace, but every three steps he took, he could see Si Jin's smiling face.
Every time I think about it, a ripple of emotion stirs within me.
Unintentionally, they ended up at the Imperial Household Department.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, composed himself, and then summoned a few eunuchs to give them a lecture.
Have them send some men's clothing and food to Si Jin.
In an attempt to humiliate Mu Sijin, Zhu Ziqing kept sending him rotten food dressed as women.
He's been wronged too much.
The young eunuch quickly agreed, and before leaving, Wei Linyuan instructed him again: "Remember, don't call her Empress, call her His Highness the Crown Prince."
The eunuchs were taken aback. "But what about the Emperor..."
"If something happens to the Emperor, I will take responsibility. Go."
After giving these instructions and secretly confirming from the roof beam that Si Jin had eaten, Wei Linyuan returned to his residence outside the palace.
I didn't eat much for dinner, then went back to my room to rest.
I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, bathed in the clear moonlight.
I finally managed to doze off for a while, but I dreamt that I went to the Jiaofang Palace in the Imperial Palace and tore off Sijin's clothes.
The boy's delicate collarbone and beautiful Adam's apple were revealed.
He couldn't resist wanting to kiss her.
In the dream, Wei Linyuan didn't hold back at all, pulling the other person close by the waist. Just as he was about to kiss the other person, he woke up.
He sat up and discovered that his body, which had been perfectly healthy for a long time due to poisoning, was undergoing... a change...
"Ha, he's really blinded by lust."
Wei Linyuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, got up, poured himself a glass of water, drank it down, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Seeing that the moonlight was bright, he took out a transformation talisman from the room.
He channeled his spiritual power and transformed into a pure white cat.
Since I can't be sure of my feelings, I'll turn into a cat and check again.
Meow~
