While crying, the Crown Prince glared resentfully at Si Jin and the Empress Dowager, secretly clenching his chubby little fists.
They all deserve to die! Even the Empress Dowager, who helped Mu Sijin, deserves to die!
Ping'er will definitely kill you all with her own hands, "Waaaaahhhhhh~"
Annoyed by the noise, Si Jin simply picked up a bucket of swill and poured it directly on the Crown Prince's head.
The child was so frightened that he trembled and lost even the courage to cry.
When they picked up the other bucket, Chen Zhiyu was also soaked to the bone, his body stinking and he felt like vomiting.
"Your Majesty." Amidst the murderous intent in the other party's eyes, Si Jin spoke with a smile: "If His Highness the Crown Prince really can't drink it, he can pour it on himself. You can share the joys and sorrows with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly dropped his hand and smashed the slop bucket over Shen Zhiyu's head with a loud crash, shattering it into pieces. He then continued to lie as if nothing had happened.
"This is called... 'Peace in Small Things'."
Shen Zhiyu clutched her bleeding head, gritting her teeth: "You're simply..."
"These are all folk remedies," Si Jin said innocently. "I was just anxious to save the Crown Prince. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
It's just making things up, anyone can do that.
The Empress Dowager still needs him to seize power, and even if he beats this useless emperor in public today, he will not have to bear any responsibility.
Just as Shen Zhiyu was about to say something, the Empress Dowager couldn't stand the smell and got up to call Si Jin away.
Shen Zhiyu endured the humiliation and got up, then slapped the Crown Prince twice more before angrily going to clean up.
After a quick bath and a change of clothes, he approached Sheng Linyuan, displaying what little imperial majesty he still possessed.
"Speak, what do you wish to report to me?"
Shen Zhiyu didn't care what Sheng Linyuan was going to report; he just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Sheng Linyuan and use him to torment Si Jin.
Sheng Linyuan and Mu Sijin have always been at odds and dislike each other, so Sheng Linyuan will definitely stand on his side.
He was confident he could win over Sheng Linyuan!
"It is like this, Your Majesty, I want to tell you..." At this point, Sheng Linyuan's tone turned cold, and his expression changed in an instant: "If you ever lay a finger on Mu Sijin again, Your Majesty, I will skin you alive, tear you apart by a thousand cuts, and grind your bones to dust."
"May you suffer a terrible death in every lifetime."
After speaking, seeing the extremely unfathomable expression on Shen Zhiyu's face, he smiled knowingly and said, "I have said what I had to say, and I will take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned away with a flick of his sleeve, leaving Shen Zhiyu standing there dumbfounded with a dark expression.
"grass!"
After a long while, Shen Zhiyu burst into loud curses.
He clearly stole so much of Mu Sijin's luck; he is the true Son of Heaven, so why does the whole world revolve around Mu Sijin?
[System! System!] He roared in his mind: [Come out and explain yourself!]
"Don't be afraid," the Heavenly Lord said coldly. "You've done well. This matter has become big enough. Arrange another assassination in the street so that everyone knows you're going to kill Mu Sijin."
Thus, our objective has been achieved.
Shen Zhiyu was confused: "What exactly do you want to do?"
The Heavenly Lord was hiding inside the system, unaware that he had been sealed off by Si Jin's divine power while he was indoors.
He said smugly, "Explaining now won't help; your brain won't understand. You'll see later. My tactic is called... using someone else to do my dirty work."
… …
As Sheng Linyuan left and walked into the plum grove in the Imperial Garden, he saw Si Jin, who had just parted from the Empress Dowager, solemnly swearing: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost to assist you."
After seeing the Empress Dowager off, Si Jin hadn't taken more than a few steps when Sheng Linyuan pulled her into the plum grove and embraced her tightly: "What were you saying to the Empress Dowager, Jin Jin?"
"It's a secret." Seeing that no one was around, Si Jin chuckled mischievously and bit his ear. "I'll tell you in a while."
"Okay." Perhaps feeling that he had also concealed his true identity from Si Jin, Sheng Linyuan didn't ask any more questions. He trusted Jin Jin.
"But if you don't tell, you'll be punished."
He simply grabbed the person, pressed them against a plum tree, and forcefully kissed them.
Fine snowflakes fell, and Sheng Linyuan gently brushed the snowflakes from Si Jin's head, then hugged her contentedly.
"Tell me, does this... count as growing old together?"
