Thinking of this, Xiang Yinghan suddenly felt motivated again and began to try to find a way to save face:
"Xiang Linyuan, do you know the crime of assassinating the emperor?!"
Xiang Yinghan shouted fiercely, but he didn't have much confidence.
Because of the fact that Xiang Linyuan held more than half of the military power of the million-strong army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He doesn't have much real power yet, and he doesn't dare to go head-to-head with this crazy royal uncle.
"Oh, I was being presumptuous." Xiang Linyuan readily offered Xiang Yinghan a narrow escape route.
He sheathed his soft sword and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, do you wish to leave on your own, or shall I kick you out the door?"
"Good! Ninth Imperial Uncle is truly outstanding!"
Xiang Yinghan endured the pain as he got up from the ground, gritted his teeth, and staggered out.
Xiang Linyuan, one day I will strip you of your military power and make you pay the price for all your arrogant actions!
After Xiang Yinghan left and the palace doors closed, Xiang Linyuan changed his demeanor again when facing Si Jin.
He approached his little empress dowager with a grin, stretched out his long arm, and pulled the little cat demon he had been longing for into his arms.
With his other hand, he accurately lifted the boy's chin and asked:
"Your Majesty, I would like to examine the mark I left yesterday."
Si Jin scoffed: "Your Highness, sneaking into the inner palace at night is not a good habit."
“But I said yesterday that I would come every day and leave a mark on you every day.”
Xiang Linyuan hugged Si Jin back, lowered his head, and gently stroked the boy's collarbone, which was covered with red marks, with his index finger:
"It is now midnight, which is the second day. I wish to leave another mark."
"I did not sneak into the palace at night, but to fulfill a promise I made to Your Majesty."
"Not only is Your Majesty unmoved, but you also blame me."
"I am so heartbroken."
After saying that, without showing any sign of sadness, she sealed Si Jin's lips with hers.
The kiss was gentle and lingering, unlike the predatory one from earlier in the day.
Instead, there was a greater sense of caution and restraint, and even a subtle hint of heartache.
During the time Xiang Linyuan was back at his residence, he couldn't wait to send people to investigate Si Jin's background.
I learned about the suffering Si Jin endured in the Wangyue clan since childhood, the inhuman days she lived in the palace after being rejected in marriage, and how Si Jin lost eight tails in the Heavenly Prison for that scumbag Xiang Yinghan.
Although……
Although he repeatedly reminded himself that the person suffering was not his beloved, and that the fool who was infatuated with Xiang Yinghan was not his beloved.
But now, his precious wife has to bear all of this.
In his early years in Miao territory, Xiang Linyuan had heard of the concept of reincarnation through possession of a corpse.
He thought that Jinjin was probably the same way.
He was reborn using the body of the original Yue Sijin, but...
"Jinjin, my Jinjin."
Xiang Linyuan suddenly stopped the kiss.
She held Si Jin's hands in her own, interlocking her fingers with his, and whispered in his ear:
"What on earth happened to you...?"
Why do others choose to be reborn into the body of a powerful or respected figure, while you are reborn into the body of this pitiful little empress dowager?
It seems like they came here on purpose to suffer.
No, Jinjin doesn't deserve to suffer.
His arrogance was meant to be radiant.
Why did it turn out like this?
Xiang Linyuan pondered these questions for a long time in his residence, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Some people are unwilling to show their pain on the surface, but that doesn't mean they don't feel pain inside.
He had only known Jinjin for less than two days, and he didn't want to make her feel bad.
However, Si Jin seemed to sense his thoughts and took the initiative to ask:
Want to know about my past?
