Chapter 768: Why are you still trying to steal the spotlight?

palace.

With Helian Yue's arrangement, Si Linglong finally met Si Jinyu.

In order to ensure that Prince Li's Mansion was implicated, Si Jinyu had been staying in the Dali Temple even though he was rescued.

Helian Yue also didn't want Si Linglong to see Si Jinyu's injuries, so he asked someone to treat his injuries and recuperate while he was still outside, and didn't arrange for them to meet until today.

Si Jinyu changed into a green shirt and a fur coat. At first glance, he still looked like the elegant and handsome young man, but he was thinner and his face was still pale.

The moment Si Linglong saw Si Jinyu, her nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.

Although he is her stepbrother, he is really good to her.

She took a step forward and was about to take good care of her adopted brother. However, before she got close, a figure next to her was faster than her and ran over, then threw his head into Si Jinyu's arms.

"elder brother!"

Li Sheng hugged Si Jinyu, and there was a rare hint of tears in his voice.

Si Linglong: ...

[Shouldn't this plot be mine? ]

【Why is little Li Sheng still trying to steal the spotlight? 】

【That's my brother. 】

[…That’s my brother, right?]

Helian Yue, who was standing aside, listened to her three consecutive questions in frustration, with a slight smile on his face. He looked at Li Sheng who was holding Si Jinyu tightly over there, and then looked at Li Sheng's figure who was only a head shorter than Si Jinyu. It seemed as if he understood something, but he didn't say much.

Si Jinyu's body swayed slightly when she was hugged. She was obviously surprised for a moment by Li Sheng's action, but she soon lowered her eyes, revealed a faint smile, subconsciously reached out to support her, and gently patted her shoulder with a soothing movement.

"I'm fine. Did I worry you?"

Li Sheng nodded heavily on his chest and then smelled his scent carefully.

When I smelled that familiar scent, my heart, which had been wandering for the past few days, finally seemed to calm down.

At his signal, she finally let him go, but one hand was still tightly holding his sleeve.

Compared to Xueshan, Li Sheng has always been well-behaved and sensible, but it is rare for him to be so clingy.

Si Linglong followed Helian Yue and walked up to him. She no longer had the impulse of finally seeing her brother. She just stared at Si Jinyu in front of her with her almond-shaped eyes, with a little resentment, and called him,

"elder brother."

Si Jinyu looked at Si Linglong, meeting her somewhat resentful and complicated eyes. He thought that she was dissatisfied with him for taking risks alone, so he smiled at her soothingly, "Brother, it's okay."

Si Linglong became even more resentful.

[He patted, hugged and comforted other sisters, but to me, his closest friend, he only said four words: "Thank you for caring about me so much!"

If Si Jinyu knew where her resentment came from, he would definitely feel very wronged at this moment.

It would have been fine if he had just touched her head in the past, but now she is the imperial concubine, and this is happening in front of the emperor. Even if she is his biological sister, it is not appropriate to have any intimate actions.

Otherwise, the one who should be resentful right now is the emperor.

Helian Yue found Si Linglong's whispers amusing. He reached out and took her hand, gently squeezed her palm, and simply led her inside.

The group then sat down in the house.

After confirming that Si Jinyu was fine, there was still some blame and concern.

When Si Jinyu decided to assassinate King Li, he did not tell anyone. He just arranged everything and went there with the assassins he had trained for many years.

When Si Jinyu was captured and imprisoned by King Li, he had already prepared himself to never see them again.

The assassination attempt failed and he knew he would never have a second chance. He thought he could never avenge his mother, but things took a surprising turn.

Not only was he rescued in a fair and just manner, but...he even put a new accusation on the King.

"Now the rumors are spreading outside the palace. People basically believe that this time it is Prince Li and Prince Cheng who are plotting a rebellion. The Si family is just unlucky to be dragged into it. When the Dali Temple makes a final decision, you can return home safely. Before that, I will arrange another place for you to live."

When Si Jinyu came into the palace, he had already heard what happened outside. When he heard what Helian Yue said, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Helian Yue.

"Your Majesty, you have taken great care of this matter. I will remember it in my heart. If Your Majesty has any instructions in the future, I will definitely obey them."

The fact that he assassinated Prince Li was already a foregone conclusion, and the emperor should have known the truth, but he went to so much trouble to exonerate him. Even if it was to deal with Prince Li's Mansion, there must be some affection for Linglong involved.

It is reasonable for him to be grateful.

Helian Yue watched him bow solemnly, and motioned to Fu Tai to help him up, and said,

"You don't have to thank me. This idea was proposed by Linglong."
