Xiao Yao was startled and quickly reached out to cover her newly bulging wallet:
[Sir, I'm out of money! This money was from exchanging two points last time!]
[The chains in the system shop are all divine locks; mortals cannot break them with brute force, and they are extremely expensive!]
【(＞﹏＜)】
Si Jin remained silent, pondered for a moment, and began to use his divine power to invade Xiao Yao's system.
Xiao Yao: 【！！！】
[My lord! Don't get excited! Don't get excited! I'll buy it! I'll buy it! Your son will use the money he would have spent on sunflower seeds to buy it for you ::＞_＜::]
Si Jin withdrew her divine power and smiled with satisfaction: Not bad, your self-awareness is getting higher and higher.
Xiao Yao nodded, biting her little handkerchief and weeping, as she reluctantly bought a chain and handed it to Si Jin:
"Sir, this chain can lock a person's limbs in place at once. Use it with caution!"
knew.
Si Jin took the iron chain, fastened one end to the dragon bed, and then used his divine power to conceal its form.
She lay back down, obediently waiting for Gu Linyuan to return.
A short while later, the tall general easily carried in a wooden bathtub half-filled with water:
"Jinjin, come here."
Si Jin remained in a position of unbearable pain, leaning against the couch. She blinked pleadingly and reached out her hand to Gu Linyuan:
"Uncle Gu, my whole body aches and I can't stand up. Please carry me over."
"good."
The general walked over without any warning.
However, the moment his hand touched Si Jin, it was restrained by two invisible forces.
He was startled and quickly broke free.
However, it was too late.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Si Jin leaped up and pushed Gu Linyuan onto the bed.
Clang.
Immediately afterwards, two more sounds rang out.
Gu Linyuan's limbs were bound by chains and tied to the four corners of the bed.
At this moment, the chains binding the person finally came into view, lying quietly on the bright yellow dragon bed, gleaming with a cold light.
Si Jin then stretched leisurely, stood in front of the general, and smiled smugly.
Then, she jumped into the bathtub after removing her undergarments.
After bathing, she presented the dragon robe to Gu Linyuan.
He put on his clothes slowly and deliberately, one piece at a time.
Last night, Gu Linyuan tasted the sweetness of the marrow.
Looking at the young emperor standing in front of him, so calmly getting dressed.
Vibrant images involuntarily flashed through my mind.
He couldn't help but try to move his hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break the chain even a little bit.
All I could do was watch the delicious food in front of me and endure the sweet torment.
Finally, Si Jin finished putting on his dragon robe and turned to leave, making sure to lengthen the chains so he could move freely on the bed.
Then, he patted him on the shoulder and said gloatingly:
"General Gu Linyuan, who has failed to attend court without cause, shall be fined three months' salary. This is hereby decreed."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom with a bright and energetic look on his face.
Gu Linyuan: ...
He was a little dumbfounded.
How come I never noticed before that this child had so many cunning and scheming thoughts?
… …
The moment he saw Si Jin emerge, Eunuch Lin's eyes widened instantly, and he rushed forward to greet her with concern.
"Your Majesty, you've come out. This old servant thought you weren't planning to attend court today."
"How could that be?" Si Jin said with a smile.
"I have always been diligent in governing and caring for the people, so how could I not attend court? I am not like some general who is blinded by beauty."
Having said that, he turned and walked into the court.
Eunuch Lin turned around and looked at the bedchamber with a puzzled expression. Gu Linyuan had indeed not followed them out.
So, is it that the general is incompetent, or that His Majesty is too capable?
… …
It wasn't until they arrived at the Hall of State Affairs that Si Jin realized that Gu Linyuan wasn't the only one absent today.
There's also Yun Munian.
Thinking about it carefully, ever since he was sent away last time, he has devoted himself to the Imperial Preceptor's Hall and rarely attends court.
Si Jin visited several times during that period, but all she saw was someone fiddling with the array and star chart, claiming they wanted to predict fate.
Si Jin didn't take it seriously and decided to find an excuse to send him to the northern frontier to eat sand in a few days.
After the court session, Si Jin reviewed some memorials for a while.
He didn't return to his bedchamber until late at night.
Before entering the hall, he thought about Gu Linyuan's expression when he put on the dragon robe this morning.
I find this kind of torture more interesting than physical punishment.
So, she changed into a light, moon-white dress.
Holding a guqin, she slowly walked to Gu Linyuan's bedside.
