Sweet Desire! The Cold Lord God, Who Can Tease, Coax, and Act Coquettish. - Chap 1450
Xu Bo is fifty-eight years old this year. He pondered over Yuwen Linyuan’s words for a long time, but couldn’t figure out what he meant, so he had to prostrate himself in greeting.
He spoke tremblingly: “This old servant is stupid, please explain clearly, Your Highness.”
He must not bring trouble to the Governor by offending the Crown Prince.
Yuwen Linyuan cleared his throat and said, “What I mean is, what do you think of me being a coachman?”
Xu Bo suspected for a moment that he had heard it wrongly: “Huh?”
Although it was unbelievable, they did not dare to offend Yuwen Linyuan, so they were forced to dismiss all the applicants.
After seeing the prince off, Xu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt that the matter should be reported to the Governor.
However, as soon as he entered the room after getting permission, he saw the beautiful lady Jin, who was only wearing an undergarment and had her eyes closed peacefully. There was also a jade pendant that the prince often wore on the table.
Tears gradually flashed in her eyes, and soon, she bent her legs and knelt on the ground: “Master!”
Before the original owner became an official, Xu Bo always called him “Young Master”.
The old man lost his son at an early age and had always treated the original owner as his own son. But now he was persuading with tears in his eyes: “It’s too difficult to be a governor. Why do you have to raise the prince with your own body? Let’s resign and return to the fields.”
This sentence finally made Si Jin laugh. He waved his hand and said, “It’s not time to feed the prince with my own body. There’s no need for now.”
“Let the driver come. If you are worried, you can find another one secretly, but don’t let him find out.”
“Yes, sir.” The old man wiped his tears and stood up. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and asked with red ears.
“Sir, do you need a bath?”
It’s possible that the bastard little prince did something excessive to Jinjin. After taking a bath, my body feels so refreshed (┯_┯)
Si Jin: …
“Not for now, go down.”
… …
On the other side, Yuwen Linyuan returned to the palace and went to the old emperor’s bedroom first.
As Si Jin expected, Sun Wuyang’s eyes were red from crying, and he was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy: “Your Majesty, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulate that doctors cannot be punished. I only have one son, Si Yuan. Even if I am wrong, I can go and apologize to the governor. I hope Your Majesty can save my son’s life!”
Although Si Jin is also a son, eunuchs cannot carry on the family line. He can be used to consolidate power, but in other aspects, Si Jin is far inferior to Si Yuan.
Seeing the old emperor wavering, Yuwen Linyuan bowed his head decisively and said, “Your Highness, I beg to see you, Father.”
The old emperor paused for a moment, and the words he was about to say to pardon him got stuck in his throat. After a few twists and turns, he finally said, “Come in.”
Yuwen Linyuan had already lost his good impression of Sun Siyuan during the day, and now he was even less polite: “Father, I accompanied Governor Gu to investigate a case today. Sun Siyuan, the son of Prime Minister Sun, hired someone to assassinate Governor Gu. After being discovered, he refused to admit it. He not only cursed everyone in the East Factory, but also insulted me and you. This crime is unforgivable!”
Sun Wuyang: ???
This shouldn’t be the case. Si Yuan has always been timid and fearful. How could he dare to scold the emperor or the prince?
He instinctively felt that Yuwen Linyuan was lying, so he had to argue: “Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention. Please understand clearly!”
“So Prime Minister Sun thinks that I’m lying?” Yuwen Linyuan glanced over, his eyes like a knife: “You just said that doctors cannot be punished, then may I ask, what kind of doctor is Sun Siyuan, a rubbish that can’t even pass the examination to become a scholar?”
“Gu Dugong is directly under the Eastern Depot, and holds the third rank. He was personally promoted by my father to be a close minister to the emperor. He, a commoner, wants to assassinate Dugong. Isn’t this a clear slap in the face of my father?”
“He insulted my father and slapped his face. How can I let him go?”
Yuwen Linyuan said this cleverly, directly linking Si Jin’s safety with the emperor’s face, and secretly scolded Sun Wuyang for questioning the prince, which was tantamount to deceiving the emperor.
Sun Wuyang was so angry that his face turned pale and he kowtowed in haste to admit his mistake.
