The next morning.
Eunuch Lin, holding the emperor's daily records, wrote with trepidation:
General Gu entered the palace at 9:00 PM yesterday and did not rest until 3:45 AM this morning.
After taking notes, she carefully left to prepare hot water and court robes for Si Jin.
But thinking about it, His Majesty probably doesn't need court robes anymore.
Let's go to the hot spring and prepare hot water first.
… …
Inside the palace.
Si Jin finished drinking the hot tea that Gu Linyuan had brought her, and only then was she able to speak a little.
He leaned against the soft pillows, his thin body draped only in a loose-fitting shirt.
After handing the empty teacup to Gu Linyuan, she beckoned him to come closer.
Gu Linyuan walked to Si Jin's side as instructed and listened attentively:
"Jinjin, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Si Jin's eyes suddenly changed, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
He reached out and took out the triangular pyramid he had hidden under his pillow.
The sharp point of the cone gleamed coldly as it stabbed fiercely towards the General Protector of the Nation.
Gritting teeth:
"Gu Linyuan, I'll fuck your grandpa!"
Gu Linyuan has been fighting for many years and has an extremely high level of vigilance against danger.
He immediately sidestepped, easily dodging the attack with incredible speed:
“Jingjing, you were drugged yourself.”
Surely she wouldn't go so far as to devour her husband?
Enraged, Si Jin threw the triangular pyramid away.
Gu Linyuan dodged again.
The triangular pyramid, carrying immense force, crashed through the crowd and shattered a porcelain bottle behind him.
With a crash, the porcelain shattered into several pieces.
Just as Eunuch Lin was carrying his court robes to the door, he was startled and hurriedly knocked on the door with concern:
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Upon hearing that someone else was about to enter, Gu Linyuan immediately became nervous.
He turned and walked to the door, opening it:
"Is Eunuch Lin here to deliver court robes to His Majesty?"
"Oh...yes, General, what's wrong with His Majesty?"
"It's nothing, just a child throwing a tantrum and breaking a vase. Give me his clothes, I'll help him change."
Eunuch Lin instinctively refused:
“Serving His Majesty is this old servant’s duty, how could I dare to trouble him…”
Halfway through her sentence, she noticed the icy glint in Gu Linyuan's eyes and immediately realized what was happening—
Perhaps the general didn't want him to see the marks on His Majesty's body.
Well, he has to leave quickly.
So, he handed the clothes over and instructed them:
"General, hot water has been prepared in the bathhouse. We'll have to trouble you to prepare it for His Majesty..."
"Yes, I understand. You may leave." With that, she closed the palace door, walked to Si Jin's side, and bowed in greeting, mimicking Eunuch Lin's manner.
"Your Majesty, it's time for court. This old servant will assist you in changing your clothes."
The general, who had achieved great military exploits, was now mimicking the shrill voice of a eunuch.
Unfortunately, he couldn't imitate it well enough, and ended up like a big bad wolf pretending to be innocent in sheep's clothing.
Si Jin's anger was finally suppressed. Enduring the pain, she slowly moved her body away and reached out to lift the general's chin:
"General Gu, I really want to castrate you."
Gu Linyuan knew he was joking, and, having gotten the better deal, feigned innocence in replying:
"His Majesty is reluctant to part with it."
"snort."
Si Jin let go of him, leaned back wearily on the soft pillow, and pouted:
"I don't want to go to the hot spring anymore. Could you bring me a bathtub?"
"Alright." Gu Linyuan placed the dragon robe on the rack in the palace, then turned and kissed the young man.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
"Mmm." Si Jin nodded obediently.
After everyone left, I immediately called Xiao Yao out to shield her from the pain.
He then sat up from the couch, stretching his bones which felt like they were about to fall apart, and gave orders:
My dear child, go to the system shop and buy a set of chains, preferably the kind forged by the gods, chains that no mortal can ever break free from.
