Before long, it was broad daylight. As she regained consciousness, Si Jin withdrew her hand that had been outside the gauze curtain.
There was a red mark on her wrist, which, against her fair skin, added a touch of sickly beauty after being abused.
Several fine scars remain on my arm, making me look like a patched-up rag doll. It's heartbreaking to see, yet you also want to "feed" it hard.
The deity paused, a glint of light involuntarily appearing in his peach-blossom eyes. He thought: No wonder the wolf cub always liked to kiss all his wounds carefully first, and then…
He'd like to be the one to initiate, but unfortunately...
"You're up?" Yuwen Linyuan was awakened by his small movements: "One kiss, one more I owe you."
Si Jin turned her head away, a little resentment rising in her heart: "What do you owe me?"
"You kicked me twice last night," the young wolfhound said. "I already paid for the kick last night, and a kiss would pay for the other one... Eh!!!"
As they were talking, Si Jin raised her hand and slapped him across the face. Yuwen Linyuan hurriedly grabbed his wrist. "What are you doing?"
"If you're not going to kiss me, go cook." Si Jin broke free from him, but still sullenly slapped his face lightly, then lazily closed her eyes.
He said, "It was Mu Zijing, the young leader of the martial arts alliance, who kicked you. What does that have to do with me, Gu Sijin?"
"..."
What kind of twisted logic is this?
But there's nothing we can do; pride is the only justification.
Yuwen Linyuan had no choice but to sit up with a wronged expression, put on his clothes and shoes, and as he was about to leave, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the golden fox mask on the table.
With a slight smile, she turned around, placed the mask on Si Jin's face, and lowered her head to kiss his lips.
With a light touch, yet tinged with smugness, she said, "I've returned the kiss. Goodbye, Young Alliance Leader."
After saying that, he childishly took the mask, turned around, and went out.
… …
After breakfast, Si Jin asked Xiao Yao to open the system and see the old emperor's current miserable state.
Because of yesterday's surprise attack, the inner palace was in complete chaos. Dozens of imperial physicians had been treating the old emperor for a day and a night, but to no avail.
At this moment, he was kneeling tremblingly in front of Yuwen Cheng, reporting with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, this is a plum blossom sword technique commonly used in the martial arts world. It cuts a person's neck into the shape of eight petals, leaving only the trachea intact. The sword also contains a strange poison that will corrupt Your Majesty's mind."
"We urgently need to find a wandering doctor for help; we officials are truly powerless to do so!"
"A quack doctor?" Yuwen Cheng, who was blind in one eye, leaned weakly against his wheelchair, but his spirits were good, and his eyes revealed undisguised joy.
He asked slowly and deliberately, "Where can we find a traveling doctor who happens to be skilled in treating poisons?"
My father has been poisoned for a day and a night now, and not only is there no sign of improvement, but Yuwen Linyuan is also not present.
Doesn't this give him a perfect opportunity to usurp the throne?
Yuwen Cheng secretly planned: He must serve his father well these next few days and then speak ill of Yuwen Linyuan.
Once Father Emperor passes away, and the Imperial Seal is passed on, the throne and the empire will be within easy reach.
"Your Highness, it seems that Gu Sijin previously saved a royal physician who was poisoned by the Plum Blossom Sword. Perhaps..."
"Go find Gu Sijin?" Yuwen Cheng was very interested in the suggestion and immediately agreed: "Then I will go see him tonight."
He was just looking for an opportunity to cause trouble for Gu Sijin, and here it is.
Since that slut has already ended up in a brothel, tonight he'll first humiliate her with money, and then give her the chance to "treat the emperor."
Gu Sijin will definitely be grateful to him!
Then it will be easy to avenge the loss of an eye.
Thinking this, Yuwen Cheng ordered someone to push his wheelchair back to his residence.
Here lies all of Gu Sijin's confiscated assets, which haven't yet entered the national treasury or been lost. He can use Gu Sijin's money to humiliate her.
This is absolutely amazing!
Yuwen Cheng confidently approached a box, cheerfully tore off the seal, took out the key, and opened it. Inside was a box full of stones...
