Sweet Desire! The Cold Lord God, Who Can Tease, Coax, and Act Coquettish. - Chap 1452
Without thinking, he lowered his head and replied, “Yes, Father.”
Going to see Jinjin? He wished he could go there every day.
Seeing that he responded readily, the old emperor was also happy. He thought that the little prince he had raised was indeed promising and understood his thoughts best.
Then he advised cheerfully: “Okay, since you don’t like the girls of the Sun family, just look for one yourself first. Remember to visit Gu Sijin more often at the Gu Mansion. The emperor is gone.”
After bidding farewell to Yuwen Linyuan, the old emperor was in a rare good mood and went for a stroll in the imperial garden.
The old eunuch beside him followed: “Your Majesty, the Second Prince just presented a letter. I put it in my sleeve. Do you want to read it now?”
“You read it.” The old emperor chose a secluded place, closed his eyes and listened to the eunuch reading the memorial. Wrinkles appeared on his face with joy.
“This Gu Sijin is indeed related to those people in the martial arts world. This makes things much easier.”
The eunuch leaned forward and said, “The memorial said that Governor Gu seems to be a member of the Wulin Alliance and seems to have a high status. Those people in the martial arts world who rebelled are dissatisfied with you and always want to rebel. In order to recruit soldiers and horses over the years, they have saved a lot of money. If all this money is temporarily kept in Governor Gu’s house…”
“Then I will confiscate Gu Sijin’s house, take the money, and pay tribute to Mobei.”
Over the years, the old emperor has been concentrating his power, oppressing the people internally, but never fighting against foreign tribes externally. Not only has most of his land been occupied by Mobei, but he also has to pay huge tribute every year.
But this year there is a famine and the people cannot get any money to pay the annual tribute, so they can only… take it from Gu Sijin.
… …
The next morning, Yuwen the coachman arrived at Gu’s house on time to report.
However, the grand court meeting was held every three days, and no coachman was needed today. Yuwen Linyuan borrowed many tools from the Imperial Hospital and began to check the ingredients in Si Jin’s kitchen.
After confirming that everything was fine, she gave instructions for food: “I asked the imperial physician, and he said that the Du Gong’s current physical condition is suitable for eating light food. Food that is too sweet, too spicy, or too salty is not good. Be careful when cooking and use less seasoning.”
Therefore, because of this instruction, Si Jin ate bland food all day, and even felt that tea tasted better than food.
So at night, Si Jin couldn’t bear it anymore. She stared at Yu Wen Linyuan’s bowl of beef noodles that obviously had some seasoning in it for a long time and finally spoke.
“It seems Xu Bo wants to pick a new driver behind your back.”
Yuwen the wolfdog looked up, holding a mouthful of green vegetables, his big eyes filled with confusion: “Awoo?”
“Yeah.” Si Jin continued to exaggerate: “It’s in the backyard. It seems like you’re going to be fired soon.”
So, after biting off the vegetables bit by bit, the little wolfhound ran out in a hurry.
Then, Si Jin quickly changed her bowl and Yu Wen Linyuan’s bowl and couldn’t wait to take a sip of the soup.
Then, he frowned slightly… Why is there still no smell? No? Yes?
At this time, Yuwen Linyuan rushed in from outside the door, looked at the bowl beside Si Jin, and chuckled: “It’s okay, I guessed you would change, so I will eat with you.”
“I asked the imperial physician last night, and he said that if you take this medicine for seven or eight days, you won’t vomit blood anymore.”
After saying the second sentence, Si Jin suppressed the anger that was rising in his heart and picked up a noodle reluctantly.
Forget it, just eat it, you’re not eating alone.
After finally finishing half a bowl, Sun Wuyang’s voice came from outside: “Gu Sijin! Come out!”
Si Jin put down his chopsticks again, having completely lost his appetite.
Okay, now I know who to vent my anger on(^_^)
