The Changning Division, which disobeys his orders, only listens to Shao Linyuan, and is even bold enough to openly defy him!
What on earth happened? How is this possible?!
The old emperor stared wide-eyed in disbelief in Shao Linyuan's direction, not understanding that over the years, Shao Linyuan had long since usurped his power.
In Northern Yan today, it is the Changning Division that holds absolute power, not him...
"Release me!" he roared. "I am not drunk! I will punish you for deceiving the emperor! I will exterminate your entire family!"
However, no one listened. For the first time, the old emperor, who had always acted with impunity, felt a deep fear from the bottom of his heart.
But apart from losing face and being carried away, there was nothing he could do.
The scholars and writers, knowing they had stumbled upon a royal secret, said little and simply made excuses to leave together.
A banquet where everyone harbored their own secrets, from the moment the incident occurred to the moment they parted ways, took only a quarter of an hour. But in that quarter of an hour, it was enough for the wine that Si Jin had drunk to ferment and become intoxicating.
Shao Linyuan stared intently in the direction of the old emperor, feeling Jinjin lean closer to him, and instinctively hugged her.
Not long after, he felt something furry brush against his chin, wait...
Furry?
Shao Linyuan quickly looked down at the little fox in his arms and found that its eyes were red from the alcohol, and it seemed to be unable to hold its liquor, with its ears sticking out.
He was still frowning, trying to stay awake, and pointed to the little old man who had helped him earlier: "You... Uncle Wu seems to have not eaten enough."
"Look, he's so hungry he's about to eat the plate... *burp*"
As he spoke, he unconsciously hiccuped, a tear appeared at the corner of his eye, and one of his tails, disobeying him, ran out on its own.
Oh no!
Si Jin frowned slightly. She had only wanted to play around with some fun, but... this wine was a twenty-year-old vintage, and it was really hard to control.
To avoid embarrassment, he stood up, shook his head, and tried to stay awake, saying, "Send me...back to the palace! Carry...the palanquin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was picked up horizontally by a demon hunter, his tail instantly bristling and his fur slightly standing on end.
"Let me go!" Si Xiaohuli gritted her teeth, her well-defined knuckles grabbing Shao Linyuan's collar: "Or I'll vomit on you!"
They even used honorifics; it's so cute.
"Go ahead and throw up. Your clothes aren't worth as much as yours." Shao Linyuan coaxed gently, "Be good, let's take the back path. I wouldn't want anyone else to see a little fox like you."
After taking a couple of steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and glanced at the tree spirit old man behind him who was wolfing down his food: "Fifth Uncle, you can eat your plate for a while, and I'll have the imperial kitchen get you something good to eat later."
Fifth Uncle: ………
Alas, boys are gone once they grow up!
… …
Shao Linyuan carried Si Jin back into the palace, carefully put the fox down, removed his outer robe, covered him with a blanket, and then prepared to deal with the matters outside.
By suddenly opposing the old emperor, he had no way out. His next step was to place the emperor under house arrest and use him to command the other lords.
I need to go out and deal with this quickly.
However, the Changning Division handled the matter quickly. Soon after, Yu Liang's voice rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been brought to the palace. He's complaining of leg pain. Which imperial physician should we summon?"
Shao Linyuan frowned, and was about to leave when Si Xiaohuli tugged at his sleeve, whimpering unhappily and aggrievedly, "Waaah..."
Her eyes were red and swollen, and her ears were drooping down like airplane ears.
His attitude remained arrogant, as if he were being ordered: No! You're not allowed to leave!
