Chapter 2052 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (41)
Three days later, Shen Linyuan symbolically accepted his punishment at the camp outside the capital and then hurriedly headed to the palace.
Although the soldiers dared not lay a hand on him, he had still been beaten and needed to get some benefits from the young emperor.
Seeing their prince leave happily, the executioners were even more puzzled: "No, even if His Majesty treats us well, does the prince need to be so eager to please him? He doesn't look like he's trying to curry favor with the emperor at all."
"Yeah, like trying to please a wife."
Hearing snippets of conversation, Shen Linyuan paid no attention.
At that moment, the eye-catching slogans all over the street had already caught his attention.
The jade-faced prince stood with his hands behind his back, circled the larger clothing shops twice, and finally sat back in his sedan chair, letting out a haughty hum.
"You know nothing about my happiness, go to the palace!"
Shen Linyuan leaned against the carriage wall, tapping his knuckles lightly on the seat, pondering how to "ask for a reward" later. But after entering the palace, he discovered that Si Jin was not there at all.
He's here... in the prison.
Despite the sweltering summer heat, the prison cell was eerily gloomy. The chill in the air chilled the walls, causing the surrounding fireworks to burn weakly and fail to ignite.
The young king, dressed in a dragon robe, stepped inside.
The torturous prison reeked of blood. After passing through two long corridors, Si Jin saw the Duke of Anguo, whose fingernails had been pulled out and who was being repeatedly whipped.
The man was covered in straw, his hair was disheveled, and his dark eyes were sunken. He was tormented to the point of being delirious and almost insane.
Seeing Si Jin approach, his bloodshot eyes widened immediately, and he struggled to sit up straight, shaking his shackles: "Nangong Si Jin, I am a veteran of two dynasties, how dare you treat me like this, how dare you..."
Her weak tone soon made Si Jin laugh.
After gesturing for Xiao Yao to take the camera to record, the emperor spoke directly: "Minister An, are you joking? I've already treated you this way, what else is there to be afraid of?"
"I've come today to tell you that all those who pleaded for you before have been killed by my royal uncle."
"But I have upheld justice for you and taken back your military power, which I now hold in my own hands."
"What a pity. The eldest prince is dead, and he's regained military power. You don't even have the slightest chance to resist."
Duke Anguo gritted his teeth as he watched the young emperor order a jailer to bring a chair and leisurely sit down in front of him.
He even ordered the jailers to lift him up and cut off his flesh on the spot as punishment.
Duke Anguo was furious and started cursing, almost biting his own tongue off.
Ke Sijin leaned back, rubbing her temples, and met his hateful gaze with composure: "What? You hate me? What can I do about it?"
"You hate me, but I will still sit here comfortably, eating the finest delicacies, sleeping on the softest silk, and having servants to follow and attend to me wherever I go."
Even if I kill you now, no one will say a word for you.
"So what's the point of your hatred, other than reminding yourself that you're a piece of trash?"
"Pfft—, cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Si Jin never expected that a few words could anger Duke Anguo to the point of vomiting blood and being on the verge of death.
It seems that today's goal has been achieved.
He stood up, casually ordered, "Don't torture him to death," and then walked out of the prison.
He found it disgusting to watch such a thing being executed.
However, Xiao Yao stared wide-eyed, lying by the cat's bed, watching intently without stopping for a moment.
Finally, he looked away, scratching his head in confusion: "Sir, you could have just killed him directly, why did you make this trip?"
"So that he'll hate me." Si Jin replied calmly as she walked away: "The one I want to kill isn't just him."
I hope that in the story, the original owner would be tortured to death by that idiot Crown Prince, all because the Duke of Anguo was supporting her behind the scenes.
Not only the Duke of Anguo, but also the Empress Dowager, the Minister of Justice, a third-rank general, and so on. Whether they can be captured in one fell swoop depends entirely on the Duke of Anguo.
"Huh? He was so angry with you, would he still help you catch his own people?" Little Tiger still couldn't follow her train of thought and asked with utmost seriousness.
A moment later, Si Jin said: "Your structure is only slightly more complex than that of a paramecium."
After belittling Xiao Yao, Si Jin boarded the carriage.
Just as I was about to leave, I noticed a pair of hands around my waist, holding a very familiar red outfit and—
A nearly transparent gemstone box contained a small, red fish, about an inch long.
