Yuwen Cheng was beaten so badly that his bones were broken, and he vomited blood several times before falling into a coma. He lay on the bed for several days.
The original plan to confiscate Si Jin's property was temporarily shelved. The first thing Yuwen Cheng did upon waking up was to impeach Yuwen Linyuan.
However, Yuwen Linyuan was clever; before leaving, he pleased the old emperor, and thus, the reply Yuwen Cheng received was—
Yuan'er is still young and inevitably acts impulsively. Can't you, as his older brother, give in to him? When did you become so petty?
If you fail to do a good job of confiscating Gu Sijin's property within three days, then hand over command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Yuan'er.
Yuwen Cheng read the old emperor's reply over and over again, feeling frustrated and depressed, and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
His face was pale, and he almost collapsed back onto the couch.
What? Everything Yuwen Linyuan does is right, but he's wrong for complaining?
Yuwen Cheng looked weak, which frightened Sun Ziyu so much that she hurriedly wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Acheng, it's alright. His Majesty was just temporarily bewitched by Yuwen Linyuan. You confiscated Gu Sijin's property and took the money. His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely."
Seeing Yuwen Cheng in trouble, Sun Ziyu became anxious. He was her only support, and he absolutely could not fall!
"Thank you, Yu'er." Yuwen Cheng took the woman's hand and kissed it tenderly. "You're right, I have to go... to Gu Sijin's house now, and kill him without leaving a trace!"
Yuwen Cheng felt a burning hatred for Xu Bo, who had previously confronted him.
This time when he goes to the Gu residence, he is determined to kill that old man in front of Gu Sijin!
Yuwen Cheng, sitting in a wheelchair, set off with the Imperial Guards. The moment he entered the gate of Sijin, he was hit squarely by a bucket of chili water on the door.
Not only did I cough repeatedly from the choking, but my eyes were also so painful that I couldn't open them. After a lot of effort, I finally managed to open them, only to find that I could see with just one eye.
A moment later, a member of the Imperial Guard behind him came to report: "Your Highness, the chili water is poisoned."
"Gu Sijin!!!" Yuwen Cheng roared hysterically, "Get out here for me!"
Even when facing certain death, he still dared to harm him. He was waiting to see this prisoner kneel before him, begging for mercy without any dignity!
But after calling for a long time, there was still no response.
Yuwen Cheng felt extremely embarrassed, so he roared and ordered the Imperial Guards to search the house and kill anyone who resisted. However, after being exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, and the clothes were almost dry, they still couldn't find a single person.
Yuwen Cheng grew anxious and had no choice but to order someone to push him toward the main hall. Sure enough, he saw Si Jin leisurely setting out tea.
Comparing his own disheveled appearance with one eye missing, and then looking at Si Jin in her red dress, leisurely grinding tea, Yuwen Cheng felt angry, so angry that his heart, liver, and lungs were twisted together in pain.
"Oh, the Second Prince is here?" Si Jin carefully observed the person: "I forgot to tell you, in the few days you were away, I dismissed everyone in the manor. I didn't manage to kill a single person, did I?"
Yuwen Cheng: "You son of a bitch..."
"It's alright, it's alright." Si Jin waved her hand. "Your Highness, there's no need to thank me. Isn't this saving you time? It's my pleasure."
"Your eyes..." Si Jin laughed, "How come they're not completely blind? It's a waste of all that chili water I put in them."
Is this mockery of him so blatant?
"Guards!" Yuwen Cheng gritted his teeth. "Arrest Gu Sijin and tear him to pieces..."
"Hey, Your Highness, don't be angry." Si Jin picked up the brocade box that Yuwen Linyuan had given her and took things out one by one.
"This is the hairpin you used when you seduced Miss Lin from the General's Mansion. Miss Lin is pregnant, and General Lin is currently searching the entire capital for the person who caused his daughter to lose her virginity. When the time comes, you'll be beaten so badly you won't even be able to get up, right?"
"This is Consort Yu's undergarment, isn't it? She's the Emperor's favorite concubine. If the Emperor finds out about this, you'll probably be demoted to a commoner and publicly executed by slow slicing."
As Si Jin spoke and laughed, she rattled off more than a dozen of Yuwen Cheng's romantic entanglements, making Yuwen Cheng's breathing unsteady and his clothes almost soaked with cold sweat.
Clang—
The sound of Si Jin putting down the box startled him. Yuwen Cheng looked up and met the handsome, peerless red-clad eunuch giving a cold order.
"Kneel down and beg me, otherwise, I can't guarantee who will get these things."
"Besides, Your Highness knows I'm a member of the Martial Alliance. You don't really think I'll just sit here and wait to die, do you?"
Yuwen Cheng looked up suddenly and found that the walls around him were covered with cold arrowheads, gleaming with a chilling light, aimed at each of them.
As soon as a fight breaks out, they will be riddled with bullets.
Yuwen Cheng's heart leaped into his throat, and he was so frightened that tears welled up in his eyes.
He didn't come to ransack Gu Sijin's house; he came to humiliate Gu Sijin!
