It's unclear what Yuwen Linyuan's motives were, making such a fuss as if he was desperately trying to brand Si Jin with his own mark.
So when Si Jin woke up the next day, not only did her back and throat hurt, but her knees and lower abdomen also felt a little uncomfortable.
He gritted his teeth, refused Xiao Yao's offer to block him, and even flicked the water that the little wolfhound had brought to his lips onto the ground.
With a "whoosh," he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty hasn't even ascended the throne yet, and you already want to kill me to establish your authority?"
Last night I was living a life of pure bliss, but now I feel terrible.
The score must be settled.
"What are you saying, Jinjin?" The young wolf-dog said with a smile as he bent down to pick up the shards. "If I really wanted to, I wouldn't use this method... to assassinate him, would I?"
Yuwen Linyuan is wild at heart; in the end, he's a scoundrel with a thick skin who isn't afraid of being scolded.
After picking up the fragments, he quickly ran out and soon returned with a small earthenware pot. He took a soft straw made by the Ministry of Works and placed it to Si Jin's lips.
She squatted by his bedside and continued to coax him: "Have some water, your throat is so dry. It must have been hard for you to scold me. Have some water before you start scolding me."
Si Jin turned his head and put the straw in his mouth before realizing that his small earthenware jar contained warm honey water, with a moderate sweetness that was excellent for soothing the throat without being too sweet.
Looking at the few gray and water stains on the big dog's sleeve, one can imagine that he probably spent a long time at the stove, tasting the sweetness little by little before slowly simmering it.
After finishing her drink, Si Jin turned her head away, clearly "too lazy" to lose her temper anymore.
A short while later, because he remained silent, Yuwen Linyuan lifted him up and held him in his arms.
The boy gathered some internal energy in his palm, and before he could speak, he covered his lower abdomen and gently pressed it.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally spoke nervously, "You looked so beautiful last night. I'm sorry, and about last time... you took my jade pendant... actually..."
Yuwen Linyuan took a deep breath, organizing his thoughts before continuing, "That was left to me by my mother when I was an infant. All these years, I've always worn it and never given it to anyone, but I'm willing to give it to you, I..."
“I love you, Jinjin,” he said. “I want to start a family with you, our family, anywhere is fine.”
"hiss……"
Si Jin hissed softly, and Yuwen Linyuan lowered his head, instantly tense as if facing a formidable enemy.
"What's wrong? Did I use too much force? Well then..."
Unexpectedly, the moment she lowered her head, Si Jin kissed her and replied, "Okay."
He said, "Okay."
Yuwen Linyuan wished he could rush out immediately and issue an imperial edict to announce it to the world.
But she had to restrain herself and gently massage Jinjin's belly.
Thus, the situation evolved into a soon-to-be emperor laughing foolishly in the inner chamber of his father's funeral hall.
"That's good, but I'm afraid His Majesty might find me too old..."
One sentence made Yuwen Linyuan nervous again: "Jinjin~ Is it okay if this matter is left unresolved?"
"No, at my age, I just love teasing kids."
Yuwen Linyuan groaned in despair, truly wanting to kneel down and kowtow to him.
It turns out that you shouldn't say anything carelessly, no matter who you're talking to.
Otherwise, there's no way to coax the young master.
… …
Si Jin rested for a day, and the next day he got up and went to Jiaoyang Money Exchange.
Upon arrival, the shopkeepers surrounded him and whispered a report: "Young master, when Gou Cheng was a prince, he deposited two thousand taels of gold with us. Now he wants to withdraw it all at once, but the amount is too large. Our bank has a lot of loans, so we're afraid we can't raise the money all at once."
"I couldn't make up my mind, so I sent someone to deliver a message to you. What do you think now..."
“Okay.” Si Jin responded and said directly, “Go tell Gou Cheng that he owes me three thousand taels of gold for listening to my song. He has half a day to sell his house and land to pay it off, or else… I’ll chop off his hands and feet, skin him and remove his bones to pay it off.”
