Chapter 2040 Imperial Uncle, the World is Now in My Hands (29)
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Linyuan's murderous gaze, sharp as a knife, locked onto Duke Anguo through the screen.
From afar, a chill quietly rose from the depths of my heart.
Duke Anguo's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he involuntarily shivered, but he still mustered his courage and took a steady step forward.
At first, nothing unusual was found, but on the second step, the sound of the Imperial Guards marching in unison was heard.
Thirdly, a cold light shot out from the side, blinding him. His intuition, honed by years of service as an official, told him that it was the reflection of a sword.
We can't go any further.
This is the limit of what we've reached.
Duke Anguo finally stopped, forced a smile with trepidation, and bowed his head in apology: "Your Majesty, after much thought, I have decided not to disturb you any longer. I will send the memorial over later."
As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if the air around him brightened up.
Immediately following the announcement of "Dismiss the court," the officials dispersed in a flurry.
After getting into the carriage, Duke Anguo was still thinking that he might have guessed right.
Shen Linyuan not only wanted power and position, but also planned to seize the young emperor for himself.
Then don't blame him... for being impolite.
Does he possess some unknown secret about this regent?
… …
Back in her bedchamber, Si Jin didn't have time to get angry at Shen Linyuan before lazily closing her eyes.
I slept straight through until the next morning.
Ultimately, he was unwilling to open his eyes; to be precise, he was unwilling to open his eyes after the first time in each plane.
The reason is simple: pain.
But as dawn broke, I was still awakened by a few light kisses.
Si Jin snorted twice, and just as she was about to muster the strength to curse "deceiving the emperor," she found herself being pulled into Shen Linyuan's arms.
He doesn't need to get out of bed by himself; Uncle Chen will help him up and hug him from behind.
Before he could speak, she planted another kiss on his lips, lingering and tender: "I love you."
Si Jin: ...
The words that were about to come out got stuck in my throat, and when I was fully conscious, I couldn't feel even a trace of pain.
The boy stared in shock, his eyes wide, and decisively reached out to grab Xiao Yao.
I thought it had upgraded some kind of advanced shielding.
However, once the dark room is open, what you see is a useless system lying in a cat bed, hugging a black cat pillow, and sleeping soundly.
The deity frowned slightly and cleverly altered its system settings.
A moment later, a robotic arm reached out from the system and snatched away its little pillow.
Then, ignoring Xiao Tongzi's sudden opening of her eyes, which were filled with tears, she leaned against Shen Linyuan's shoulder for comfort.
His fingertips twitched slightly, and his whole demeanor exuded a languid air: "You..."
"I've cooked. I thought you must be hungry, so I made some porridge." Before he could even open his mouth, Shen Linyuan replied, picked up the bowl of porridge, scooped out a spoonful, blew on it to cool it down, and brought it to his lips.
While feeding you, she warned, "Eat properly. I haven't slept for a day and a night to massage your back, and I even used my internal energy to enhance it. My wrists are almost not my own anymore."
"I drank all the porridge before I could hold the bowl up."
Si Jin swallowed a mouthful of porridge, letting the warmth flow through her heart, while not forgetting to take a jab at the heartbroken Xiao Yao.
However, after only a few bites, the spoiled little emperor started complaining again: "It's not sweet at all."
"Eating sugar is bad for your throat right now, but I added corn kernels to the porridge, so I'll be good."
Si Jin pursed her lips.
Shen Linyuan had no choice but to continue coaxing, "Eat first, and I'll reward you with two berries after you've rested tonight."
"..."
"Iced."
The barrage of words finally made Si Jin laugh: "Uncle, you're like you're coaxing a child."

[Tuanzi's Words] My darlings, I'm sick, that's right, just like you think.
I'm sure you've all noticed that I've been updating lately, and it's really tough on me. Today is the third day, and I've only eaten two bites of noodles all day. Even holding my phone is tiring. I really can't keep going, so I'm forced to take a break. (PS: I'll write a little more tonight if I feel better, um, if.)
