Si Jin turned her gaze to the rugged road behind the horse, and her Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
During the day, he did indeed want to take advantage of the Second Prince, which is why he mocked him so recklessly. He thought that Ji Linyuan was just a child and that he could be coaxed and then forget about it.
Now, however, I feel somewhat...regretful.
"No, thank you." Si Jin waved her hand and said seriously, "We Miao people are not good at horseback riding, I'll take a car back."
But as soon as he turned around, the little wolf cub held him tightly in his arms, whispering in his ear, "It's okay if you're not good at it, I'll help you."
After saying that, he turned around, pulled Si Jin onto the horse, and lashed the whip hard.
The horse neighed and galloped away into the distance. Si Jin was then trapped in the wolf cub's arms, kissing him wantonly: "The Queen has lost her son, she will definitely cause you trouble, what should we do?"
"She'll be heartbroken for a while." Si Jin squinted, seemingly unconcerned. "That's enough for me to set up a plan. While I'm eating, drinking, and having fun, I can casually torment her to death... um..."
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were captured in a forceful and unreasonable kiss. The journey was bumpy, and she wasn't even allowed to breathe.
Before long, her eyes reddened, and a few tears welled up in her slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes.
Si Jin grabbed Ji Linyuan's collar, feeling a mix of excitement and confusion.
When she realized what was happening, her belt had already loosened slightly, but it wasn't completely undone. It was just loose enough for the silver ornaments around her waist to clink and jingle in the empty night street.
"No...no." Si Jin raised her hand and pushed him away. "It'll make a sound, A Yuan, it...it'll make a sound..."
“Yes.” Ji Linyuan smiled in a roguish and mischievous way: “I just wanted to listen to this music properly.”
While gently coaxing Si Jin, he was actually thinking about the place where the Queen was secretly keeping assassins, which he had discovered earlier that day.
Ji Linyuan was still worried and was determined to eliminate all the dangerous factors that were detrimental to Jinjin before leaving.
… …
The clinking of jade pendants and silver ornaments jingled all the way, and Si Jin could hardly remember the time, let alone the scenery along the way.
All she knew was that when the little wolf cub was holding her while she washed up, she splashed water all over him and then bit his shoulder several times in retaliation before finally closing her eyes, tired and satisfied, leaning against the blankets.
He went to sleep, but Ji Linyuan seized the opportunity to leave.
He changed into a light fur coat, grabbed a long sword, and went straight to the location he had scouted out, where he slit the throats of all the dozen or so assassins the queen had been secretly keeping.
That wasn't all; they also wanted to bring all the heads before the old king, accusing the queen of sending assassins to kill him in an attempt to sabotage the peace between the two countries.
This time, not only was the queen's secret hiring of assassins discovered, but she also faced the additional charge of assassinating a prince from the Central Plains. She was punished with a fine, a beating, and confined to the palace.
He was a wolf raised on the grasslands. Since he was to bite the enemy for Jinjin, he had to do his best and bite to the death. Only then could he leave in peace.
After leaving the palace, Ji Linyuan went to count the soldiers. By the time he returned to his residence, it was already evening.
Jinjin was exhausted, covered in marks from his rough handling, especially the spider lily patch on the back of her neck, which looked like she had survived a great catastrophe, making it hard to bear to look at.
A steward came in from outside and asked, "Your Highness, you've been busy all day. Dinner is ready. Would you like some?"
There was a curtain covering the couch, so the steward couldn't see clearly, but he vaguely sensed that the atmosphere between the two was... a little off, so he subconsciously lowered his voice.
Ji Linyuan turned his head and asked, "What's prepared for dinner?"
The butler mentioned a few dishes, thinking Ji Linyuan would be picky, but to his surprise, the sharp-looking young man blurted out a few more dishes and continued, "These are the kinds of dishes your young master likes to eat, so keep them warm for now. I won't eat them. Find a trustworthy guard to keep watch at night, and when he wakes up, serve them to him. Remember to add some berries (strawberries), he likes them."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But since it's dinner, don't eat too many berries, they'll get cold easily. He likes them, but he doesn't know how to control himself, so please keep an eye on him."
"Yes." The steward bowed his head in response, feeling that the young prince was showing a bit too much concern for the young master, far exceeding the scope of... friendship.
He asked, "Does Your Highness really not need to eat?"
"No, thank you." Ji Linyuan refused. "I'm a rough man. On the march, I can just have some wine with my dry rations."
He was leaving; he was going to pacify the grasslands and prepare a betrothal gift for his beloved.
Right now, I always want to make time to spend with Jinjin, even just for a moment.
