“…”
Yuwen Linyuan stood there, stunned. The unfinished imperial edict was stuck in his throat, and he was caught between saying it and not saying it.
It's inexplicably a little... awkward.
A thought gradually emerged in his chaotic mind—his father said that the eunuchs were rampant and that the Eastern Depot didn't even listen to the emperor, and it turned out to be true!
"Gu Sijin!" His eyes flashed coldly as he warned, "You killed indiscriminately after hearing the imperial edict; this is disobeying the imperial command..."
"Disobeying the imperial decree?" This was the first time Si Jin had seen Xiao Lin Yuan so blatantly defy him. His smile deepened, making Xiao Yao tremble.
Another world where we light candles for Little Heavenly Lord, Amen!
Si Jin chuckled lightly: "This official dares not accept such a grave crime. May I ask which eye of Your Highness saw this official disobey the imperial decree?"
Yuwen Linyuan frowned: "You're being unreasonable!"
"Reason?" Si Jin seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She dropped her longsword, approached the little prince in front of her step by step, and reached out to pinch his cheek.
His gentle tone was full of threat: "Your Highness is not yet of age, is he? Look at you, so young, your features haven't even fully developed yet, and you dare to go alone to the Eastern Depot and reason with so many of the guards?"
Yuwen Linyuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he inexplicably felt a little... suffocated.
Although he was young, he was made crown prince at birth and enjoyed supreme power and boundless favor.
Over the years, I've traveled extensively, fighting battles in the north and south, and encountered many officials who refused to submit to my authority.
If it were anyone else provoking him like that, he would have kicked them out and followed up with a few punches.
Can……
The oppressive feeling Gu Sijin gave him... inexplicably strong.
Yuwen Linyuan was not to be outdone. He gritted his teeth like a wolfhound and continued, "Even if the Eastern Depot has the right to execute first and report later, the Eunuch still needs evidence to kill someone!"
They used to say that the Grand Eunuch couldn't kill people, but now they're finding reasons for him to do so.
While seemingly determined to take the lead, they have actually already retreated several steps.
Very good, you've got it right.
Si Jin released his grip, refusing to comply: "Why should I tell you?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked step by step out of the cell. He had no other hobbies but liked to pet the little wolfhound against its own fur and watch it get all pricked up.
Sure enough, Yuwen Linyuan turned around and followed: "With the Grand Eunuch being so uncooperative, I will be unable to report back to the palace."
Seeing that Si Jin wouldn't stop, Yuwen Linyuan simply resorted to force, taking a few quick steps and pressing down on the man's shoulder from behind: "Your Excellency, please wait..."
But before she could even utter a sound, Si Jin turned around and suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Yuwen Linyuan dodged in time and reached back to hook Si Jin's neck.
Si Jin took the opportunity to move forward, wrapping one arm around Yuwen Linyuan's waist and quickly pressing down on his neck with the other, directly forcing him down onto the artificial hill in the backyard of the Eastern Depot.
The distance between their lips is only half an inch.
If you calm down, you can even feel the other person's irregular breathing.
Yuwen Linyuan was not yet twenty years old, had not yet taken a concubine, and had never been so close to anyone before. His ears turned red, and he subconsciously softened his breathing.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Sijin's beauty surpasses that of many exotic beauties.
His peach blossom eyes possessed an innate sharpness, but the red beauty mark under his eye added a touch of fragility and charm to his appearance.
A strand of black hair landed right on his lips, carrying a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which made Yuwen Linyuan's heart beat faster.
For no reason at all, I just wanted to... kiss him.
But he managed to restrain himself with reason. Gu Sijin had killed countless people with his hands stained with blood, earning him the nickname "Soul Reaper," meaning that anyone who saw him would not live past the next day.
How could he... possibly covet someone like that?
The young prince Yuwen sighed and finally softened his stance: "Lord Eunuch, I did not mean to provoke you, but the law is such that if you want to kill someone, you must provide evidence."
“Okay, I have Liu Huian’s signed confession.” Si Jin said, then moved closer to his lips and whispered seductively.
"Give me a kiss, and I'll give myself to you, okay?"
