After receiving this information, Si Jin's expression changed.
The cat demon clan can all perform divination, but the original owner's spiritual power was too weak to suppress ghosts or predict good or bad fortune.
As a result, he was bullied within his family.
In a life filled with countless insults and ridicule, Xiang Yinghan was the only source of warmth for the original owner.
But later, this warmth became the weapon that led to his death time and time again.
Si Jin asked: According to the upcoming plot, I should walk up to Xiang Yinghan.
Then Xiang Linyuan leaped up to assassinate Xiang Yinghan, and Xiang Yinghan used me as a shield, so we could be reborn into the next life?
Xiao Yao: [Theoretically, that's how it is...]
Okay, I understand. Si Jin strode forward, walking step by step toward Xiang Yinghan.
This action left Xiao Yao stunned.
When did adults start following the script so obediently?
That's really strange, so very strange!
It burrowed back into its sea of consciousness, breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for Si Jin to go to her next life according to the prescribed plot.
The scene was extremely chaotic, and no one knew that Si Jin had taken a dagger used for cutting lamb from next to the roast whole lamb as she passed by the banquet.
He imitated the original owner's behavior, running to Xiang Yinghan's side in surprise and fear.
Her voice remained gentle and obedient.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Xiang Yinghan grasped Si Jin's hand, holding it tightly.
Instead of the joy of seeing her lover safe and sound, her eyes held the relief of grasping at a lifeline.
After all, with the enemy in front of him, he didn't know what that madman Xiang Linyuan would do.
At this moment, having a silly human shield is the best option for survival!
At the time, the original owner thought he was protecting him!
Xiang Yinghan held Si Jin tightly, but his gaze wasn't on him; instead, he was warily staring at Xiang Linyuan.
Over the years, he has used all sorts of despicable means, both overt and covert, and even ceded territory to cooperate with foreign tribes. He has painstakingly reduced Xiang Linyuan's power bit by bit, and finally waited until Xiang Linyuan could no longer hold back and attempted to assassinate him. He has finally managed to eliminate this ambitious imperial uncle from the root of the problem.
He absolutely cannot get into trouble, especially not at this time!
Today, it will be Xiang Linyuan who dies, and him who lives!
Xiang Yinghan tightened his grip on Si Jin's hand and pulled him to his side:
"Jingjing, you have to be careful of Xiang Linyuan, he... ah!"
However, before he could finish speaking, Si Jin stabbed him in the heart.
The man's beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed with excitement. After confirming that the tip of the knife had pierced Xiang Yinghan's heart, he stabbed it a few more times.
He only stopped when the dagger's hilt was completely embedded in the blade.
Xiang Yinghan's eyes widened, her face turning deathly pale.
The moment the heart ruptures, even breathing becomes incredibly difficult.
He seemed unable to believe that the man who had sacrificed everything for him could do such a thing.
His beloved concubine was willing to risk her life to poison him, lose eight lives in prison, endure the bullying of the imperial concubines, and bear the infamy of the whole world...
Why did it suddenly happen...?
Xiang Yinghan desperately wanted to know why, but his heart was failing.
He had no room to resist, nor the strength to resist.
A streak of blood uncontrollably slid from the corner of his lips.
His body lost all support.
As soon as Si Jin let go, he fell to the ground with a "thud".
His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes still open.
At this moment, the man who committed the murder felt no remorse whatsoever.
He smiled, his eyes crinkling, and said condescendingly:
"Your Majesty, you have something to attend to now."
This action startled the surrounding Imperial Guards.
The ministers stared wide-eyed, some even wondering if they were still dreaming.
Yue Sijin... he killed His Majesty?!
How is this possible?!
Yue Si loves His Majesty to the core, and even disregards becoming a laughing stock for him.
Why would they attack him?!
While everyone was stunned, Si Jin slowly turned around and looked at Xiang Linyuan.
His voice suddenly rose, as if he were questioning:
"Xiang Linyuan!"
Why didn't you marry me back then?!
