He said: You just like me.
In an instant, the boy's mind was thrown into turmoil, and all the reasons he had prepared crumbled.
Yuwen Linyuan blushed instantly: "I...I actually..."
"Shh, don't be nervous." Si Jin reached out and pressed her hand to his lips, but made no other excessive moves. "I was just joking with Your Highness. You don't need to answer me. Drive back."
After saying that, he naturally pushed the person aside, coughed twice, and walked to the car.
Yuwen Linyuan was unable to calm down for a long time. While rushing to catch the carriage, he was still thinking - fox, fox, fox, Gu Sijin is really a fox!
No matter what she does, she can still disturb his peace of mind, making him both alluring and incredibly pitiful.
But... is he the only one who has ever seen such a reserved demeanor?
Yuwen Linyuan's thoughts drifted away, and before he could even feel jealous, he heard Si Jin say, "Let's not go home first, let's go to the Eastern Depot."
"Oh." Yuwen the coachman obediently turned his horse around. After arriving at the Eastern Depot, two guards respectfully presented Si Jin with a brocade box and a letter of confession.
"Your Excellency, the document is signed, and the head is in the box."
"Hmm." Si Jin took it, acting as if nothing had happened, and placed the box next to her seat, continuing, "Let's go, to the Sun residence."
"Huh?" Yuwen Linyuan turned his head, not caring whose head was in the box, nor whether this ruthless eunuch was abusing his power for personal gain. Instead, he asked with concern, "With your frail body, you still have to handle cases today?"
Si Jin laughed: "Don't I drag this broken body around to handle cases every day? When you first met me, you scolded me for disobeying the imperial order, which scared me to death."
I didn't see anything that made him afraid.
But Yuwen Linyuan still felt he had acted somewhat recklessly, so he toned down his imposing manner and obediently asked, "Which Sun family?"
"Sun Wuyang's home."
"Oh." Yuwen Linyuan spurred his horse forward again, and after riding for a while, he remembered to ask, "Whose head is in the box?"
"My former coachman."
Hearing this, Yuwen Linyuan's right hand, which was holding the reins, trembled slightly. He suddenly realized that what he was doing was somewhat dangerous: "Why?"
“He tried to kill me at court today.” Si Jin replied, “So I threw him to the Eastern Depot for interrogation and drove myself to court.”
So that's why he didn't bring a driver: "Aren't you...tired doing this?"
Isn't it tiring to have to guard against so many people every day?
"So what if I'm tired?" Si Jin knew she had achieved the effect she wanted. She barely managed to suppress the smile in her eyes and continued to speak pitifully.
"Who would feel sorry for someone like me, a ruthless killer who kills without blinking an eye?"
His tone was calm, yet it made Yuwen Linyuan's heart clench again, and some thoughts gradually welled up in his heart, ready to burst forth...
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Sun residence. When the concubine, Lady Yun, heard that the Crown Prince had arrived, she immediately called her daughter to dress up in her finest clothes and put on makeup before coming out.
She heard that the Crown Prince was about to come of age, and that the Emperor had commissioned painters to paint many portraits of women so that he could choose his favorite Crown Princess.
Perhaps the Crown Prince has taken a liking to her Yu'er and came to see her first.
If Yu'er is selected, their whole family will rise to prominence.
At that time, she could have her daughter whisper sweet nothings in the Crown Prince's ear and kill Gu Sijin directly.
Why go through the trouble of using slow-acting poison?
Lady Yun, dreaming of forging a marriage alliance with the Crown Prince, quickly arrived at the door with her daughter Sun Ziyu and son Sun Siyuan.
She thought she would only have to meet the handsome young prince, but who would have thought that as soon as she stepped out the door, she would see the smiling Si Jin.
Her face turned ugly in an instant—the Crown Prince had come to arrange a marriage between her daughter and Gu Sijin, this unlucky fellow, was here for no reason.
