Shao Linyuan couldn't help but laugh. Afraid that Si Jin would get cold, he quickly got a set of small clothes from his fifth uncle, who owned a clothing store, and also brought a small bib for feeding her.
Fifth Uncle was even more puzzled, and mysteriously pulled Shao Linyuan aside: "Did you really get the Demon King pregnant? The child is already so big?"
"That can't be right, can it? That's a male fox. Did you really go looking for another little demon?"
After thinking it over, he decided that the second possibility was more reasonable. He immediately grabbed a clothes hanger and raised it at Shao Linyuan, saying, "I will execute you on behalf of my king!"
"No, no!" Shao Linyuan really wanted to tell the truth about Jinjin shrinking, but the little fox was too proud to say it.
I could only make up a reason to bring clothes for my friend's child before I hurriedly ran away.
Si Jin, carrying Xiao Dou Dou, endured being fed by a demon hunter for a whole day before finally recovering.
It wasn't until nightfall that Shao Linyuan, with Si Jin fully recovered, set off for the palace.
The plan to force the emperor to abdicate was imminent, and it was best not to arouse the old emperor's suspicion.
Once he reaches that pinnacle, he can let Jinjin do whatever she wants.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the main gate of the imperial city, they found that many more guards had been added. Even their good friend, the Minister of Justice, was standing at the gate with the Imperial Guards, looking drowsy, checking passersby.
It wasn't like this when I came out, how come it's suddenly become so strict?
Puzzled, Shao Linyuan stopped the carriage and greeted the Minister of Justice: "What's going on?"
"Tsk, don't even mention it." The Minister of Justice yawned and explained with a look of utter despair, "These past two days, the monsters of Wan Yao Mountain have gone mad for some reason. They've been constantly entering the city and injuring people, and they don't kill them, as if they're deliberately trying to provoke conflict between humans and monsters."
"The Emperor is furious. He has placed the Imperial City under martial law and even expelled the demons living there. Now anyone who wants to enter must be checked. What's in your carriage?"
Shao Linyuan could have directly answered that he was the emperor's male fox concubine, which would have been a good way to end the matter, but for some reason, he didn't want to answer that way.
He opened his mouth and said, "My betrothed."
“Oh, your betrothed…husband?” The Minister of Justice’s eyes widened in an instant: “Brother, we’ve worked together for so many years, and I’ve never heard of you having homosexual tendencies. Let me see.”
Remembering Si Jin's identity, Shao Linyuan immediately got out of the car to stop her: "I won't let you see her. You can see her when I marry her and attend her wedding. Let me in."
"Brother, don't make things difficult for me." The Minister of Justice insisted, "The Emperor ordered all vehicles to be inspected and all officials to supervise each other. I can't give you special treatment. Let me see."
Shao Linyuan's eyes sharpened, and a warm yellow magic gradually formed in his palm. Just as he was about to forcibly pull the person back, a chubby little hand lifted the carriage curtain.
Si Jin had shrunk in size at some point, even retracting her tail and ears, and poked her head out: "Uncle Yuan, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Minister of Justice: ...
The man paused, his hand poised to lift the carriage curtain. He quickly glanced inside the car through the gap Si Jin had opened.
Finding nothing amiss except for the child, she finally took a deep breath, raised her hand, and patted Shao Linyuan's shoulder: "This is your... betrothed... husband???"
"Brother, it's time for the execution!"
Shao Linyuan frowned: "Hmm?"
"Alright, you can go in now." The Minister of Justice let him pass, and before leaving, he pulled Shao Linyuan aside and whispered a word of advice.
"Don't worry, I'll go back and look through the Northern Yan laws to see how much your crime can be reduced to! Don't worry, if your beastly deeds are exposed, I'll get you off the hook."
