Sweet Desire! The Cold Lord God, Who Can Tease, Coax, and Act Coquettish. - Chap 1475
His voice was gentle and soft, without any domineering tone, and his face had a serene smile, so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off him.
But it was just such a person who seemed like the devil in the world, making Yuwen Cheng terrified.
“Soul-catcher!”
He suddenly recited Si Jin’s nickname, knelt on the ground and kowtowed without any dignity: “The soul-catcher is here to take my life! Let me go! I’m here to ask for medicine on behalf of my father, and I’ll allow you to be reinstated!”
“Please spare my life, Lord Governor!!!”
He cried heart-wrenchingly, fainting from the pain repeatedly, then waking up again, fainting from the pain, then waking up again.
Finally, when the piano piece ended, my whole body felt as if it had been washed by water and was soaked in cold sweat.
“Someone come here…” Yu Wencheng did not change his bad habits. He put his hands on the ground and crawled towards the door like a maggot: “Gu Sijin is trying to murder… the prince, catch…”
However, before he could finish his words, he saw Yuwen Linyuan riding a horse towards him outside the gate, followed by a dozen Jinyiwei.
“You guys came… to save me…”
Seeing the Royal Guards, Yuwen Cheng felt a little hopeful and his spirits improved. With trembling pale lips, he pointed at Si Jin and said, “Catch… catch…”
However, Yuwen Linyuan’s next words completely plunged him into the abyss.
“The emperor has decreed that the second prince Yuwen Cheng had an affair with the concubine Yu. The evidence is irrefutable. He has defied the emperor and his crime is unforgivable. From today on, all his titles will be stripped, all his property will be confiscated, he will be expelled from the royal family, demoted to a commoner, and his surname will be changed to Gou. I decree this.”
Yuwen Cheng was so shocked that his breathing stopped and he almost passed out.
He had never thought that he, who had come up with the idea to raid Si Jin’s house, would one day have his family confiscated and be expelled from the royal family.
Really…I can’t have the last name Yuwen anymore…
“Impossible.” Yuwen Cheng’s tears fell down, and he struggled to stand up and grab Yuwen Linyuan’s imperial edict.
Unexpectedly, the handsome young prince suddenly took a step back, and when Yuwen Cheng fell to the ground, almost dead, he spoke again.
“Gou Cheng intends to assassinate the crown prince. Arrest him and punish him with 100 lashes.”
When Gou Cheng was dragged away by the Jinyiwei, his face was covered in blood.
There was no longer any spirit in his eyes. Fifty blows from the Jinyiwei could kill a strong man.
Yuwen Linyuan… doesn’t intend to let him live.
His life has come to an end.
Gou Cheng closed his eyes and silently endured endless despair, but he never dreamed that this was just the beginning of Si Jin’s revenge.
After Yuwen Cheng left, the main hall of Qunfang Pavilion fell into silence.
The court officials who were indulging in pleasure were like birds that had just experienced a catastrophe, silent as a cicada, not daring to move at all.
After Yuwen Cheng’s downfall, no one could shake the position of the crown prince.
Now that the emperor is ill, Yuwen Linyuan will ascend the throne in the near future and there will be no accidents.
Many officials saw his momentum and forced themselves to smile and come forward to please him.
But the little wolfdog turned around and asked, “Did you enjoy the song today?”
Someone quickly agreed: “Okay, okay, the Crown Prince is here, why not ask Master Gu to…”
Another smarter one hurriedly covered his mouth and warned in a low voice: “Didn’t you hear what Madam Mei just said? Master Gu was…”
The person who was reminded had his pupils shrink, and he quickly stepped back and shut his mouth.
Thinking he had said something wrong, he was about to slip away when he heard Yuwen Linyuan speak again: “Gu Dugong’s song is worth a thousand gold coins. Just now, you have to pay as much as he asked you to pay. You can’t listen for free.”
The man paused in his running steps and turned around with a bitter look on his face.
Therefore, all the princes and ministers who were listening to the music today gathered together five thousand taels of gold with tears in their eyes.
Yuwen Linyuan then gave up and dismissed everyone. He jumped onto the stage, came to Si Jin, squatted down obediently, and put the imperial edict on the ground.
“You’re so right.” Yu Wen Linyuan’s terrifying aura always disappears when he meets Si Jin.
The whole person was extremely obedient: “I gave that thing to the emperor, and he was really angry. Yuwen Cheng is finished.”
“But these are all trivial matters. I’m just very curious.” Xiao Gou hooked his hands around Si Jin’s knees, rested his chin on his hands, and looked at him eagerly.
“Why do I get two thousand taels a night, while others get five thousand taels just for listening to music? Isn’t Jinjin too biased?
