However, Si Jin did not relax.
He held the little wolfhound tightly around the waist with one hand to prevent him from escaping.
With his other hand hanging down slightly, he used his sleeve to wipe away every drop of blood from Yuwen Linyuan's hand, little by little.
Finally, he took that hand in his and gently kissed it: "Now it's clean."
These words were not spoken loudly, but they made Yuwen Linyuan's eyes well up with tears, and two lines of clear tears instantly appeared on his face.
He reached out and pulled Si Jin into his arms, burying his face in his shoulder and shedding tears for a long time.
It took a very long time before he finally spoke.
“I know that when I went to the doctor to take my pulse and had three or four Gu worms dug out of my body, my relationship with him was over, but I am still very sad, very sad, very sad.”
"I know." Si Jin patted his shoulder a few times, her voice filled with undisguised heartache: "I know, A Yuan, I know."
When he couldn't forgive himself and tormented himself before, was A Yuan in this much pain too?
No, that's not right. He shouldn't have let himself lose all will to survive before. A-Yuan is heartbroken for him.
He regretted it, and he would live well for his young lord.
He lives as radiantly as ever.
"My life before my coming-of-age ceremony was absolutely terrible," Yuwen Linyuan said, choking back tears. "I had no father, no mother, and when I came of age, no one was there to give me a courtesy name."
Am I bad too?
Upon hearing Si Jin's sudden question, Yuwen Linyuan instinctively tensed up: "No, I..."
"If you call me Grand Tutor, then I will be responsible for your coming-of-age ceremony." Si Jin tugged at his sleeve and used a clean hand to wipe away the little wolf's tears.
"Alright." He took a step back and patted Yuwen Linyuan's shoulder, reminding him, "I don't have time to be sad for you. Don't cry in my arms. Go out now and cry in front of the whole world."
"Let those with ulterior motives see how virtuous and filial you are. This will reduce rebellions. Even if there is chaos, you will win the hearts of the people. At that time, you will be the righteous army, and you can kill anyone you want!"
In ancient times, loyalty, filial piety, and integrity were paramount. Even though the people hated the old emperor, they would still like a filial young crown prince.
"But I want..." I want to stay with you.
Yuwen Linyuan ultimately didn't say those words aloud. He would be twenty years old after his birthday in December of this year.
Now that you're an adult, you need to protect Jinjin.
The words that were about to be uttered were swallowed back down. He turned around and walked out of the room step by step.
The door closed again, and Si Jin only sighed deeply, without any reaction.
With a mere turn, she elegantly tore the old emperor's soul in two, giving one half to her own mother and the other half to Yuwen Linyuan's mother.
Don't you love being a scumbag?
He wanted to see if the evil spirits he had killed in the eighteen levels of purgatory would divide him up.
Oh, by the way, even if the soul is shattered, it must be reborn piece by piece into the animal realm, never to be reincarnated, in order to atone for its sins.
Si Jin didn't react, but Xiao Yao bit her handkerchief and cried loudly: "My lord, you're so cruel to your disciple! You still want to send him out to take charge of the situation at a time like this QAQ"
I'm even harsher on myself. Si Jin sheathed the dagger and covered the old emperor's wounds, making him appear as if he had died from his injuries.
He continued, "You have to prioritize things. You can be sad anytime, but right now, there's no time for him to be sad."
I don't have time to feel sorry for myself.
… …
Si Jin temporarily put aside many things in the martial arts world, put on a white casual outfit, went out, found a dessert shop, and made a few lollipops.
That night, they brazenly barged into the old emperor's mourning hall...
