Chapter 149: Grinding the Claws
The first thing Emperor Yuanjing did when he ascended the throne was to confer the title of hereditary prince on Prince Rong, and also gave Prince Rong the military power of the northern and southern borders, giving Prince Rong the greatest trust. In private, Emperor Yuanjing even knelt in front of Prince Rong to express his gratitude for saving his life.
Seeing that Emperor Yuanjing had not yet lost his conscience, Prince Rong's resentment was mostly gone. He had no intention of seizing the throne. After the situation in the northern and southern borders stabilized, he handed over all military power back to Emperor Yuanjing.
Prince Rong thought that as long as he did not covet power or influence, Emperor Yuanjing would not be suspicious of him. However, he underestimated Emperor Yuanjing's vigilance.
When he was young, he was only concerned with fighting to defend the territory of Dafeng, and the princess he married became a decoration. When he got older and wanted to have children, the princess's body was broken and she could no longer give birth.
He felt guilty towards his first wife, and waited until the princess passed away before welcoming a concubine into the palace. However, the two concubines who were welcomed into the palace successively failed to give birth to children for many years. He thought that he had killed too many people, and God had deprived him of the qualification to be a father, so he stopped forcing it.
It was not until a few years later that he accidentally fell off a cliff and was rescued by a hunter in the mountains. The old doctor living in seclusion in the mountains diagnosed his hidden illness, which was actually not a hidden illness, but a secret medicine that prevented him from having children.
As for who didn't want him to have a child, there was no need to go into details to know that it was Emperor Yuanjing. But even though he knew that Emperor Yuanjing was afraid of him and had been on guard against him since early on, he had no intention of resisting.
After decades of war, the people of Dafeng have finally ushered in a peaceful life. He will never rebel for his own reasons and push the common people into the suffering brought by war and chaos again.
If his tolerance and concession could bring peace to the people of Dafeng, he could give up his offspring, give up being Prince Rong who was second only to the emperor, and even be willing to hide in the mountains and forests for the rest of his life. After all, he was alone and had nothing to worry about.
He had planned to live the rest of his life alone, but he didn't expect to meet a woman he loved when he was nearly fifty years old. Although they were nearly thirty years apart in age, they were miraculously brought together.
The woman soon became pregnant, and when the new life came, he felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness he had never experienced before. He felt that God had not treated him badly, as he had a lovely wife and a son to accompany him for the last few decades of his life.
Unfortunately, the peaceful and comfortable days did not last long. People from the imperial court came to the mountains and forests, but he said he did not want to go back and only wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and lead an ordinary life.
At that time, Prince Rong naively believed that he had nothing left but a body, and that Emperor Yuanjing should stop being wary of him.
But he once again misjudged the emperor's thoughts. When Emperor Yuanjing learned that he was unwilling to return to Luodu City, he personally led the entire court of civil and military officials to welcome him, leaving him no room for maneuver.
At that time, Prince Rong did not really understand the intention of Emperor Yuanjing's actions, and he only figured it out later.
Human desires are never satisfied, and emperors are even more so. Now that Emperor Yuanjing's throne has been consolidated, he wants to leave a good name that will be passed down through the ages.
As everyone knows, Emperor Yuanjing's seizure of the throne was not glorious. Except for the lineage of Prince Rong, almost all members of the Yu clan were extinct.
Although there is no substantial evidence to prove that Emperor Yuanjing killed all the members of the Yu clan, people in the world are not fools and can guess the filth behind it.
Emperor Yuanjing wanted to reverse the bad reputation, so he could only start with his only relative, Prince Rong.
Therefore, Emperor Yuanjing apparently promoted Prince Rong's Mansion to a noble and unparalleled position, allowing the world to see his benevolence and magnanimity in treating his relatives well. However, inwardly, he was extremely wary of Prince Rong's reputation that he had established after years of fighting, and trapped him firmly in a cage of luxury.
Emperor Yuanjing not only plucked out the claws and fangs of the tigers, but also did not allow the young tigers to grow claws and fangs. Once the young tigers showed their claws, they would be plucked out immediately.
When the nine-year-old Yu Wantai showed his talent and won the horseback archery competition, Emperor Yuanjing threw him to North Vietnam, leaving him to live in a dirty place and hone his skills.
Today, Yu Wantai did not bear the infamy of robbing the scholar's wife as Emperor Yuanjing wished, but was praised by the people. If old Prince Rong did not take the initiative to punish his son, when Emperor Yuanjing took action, Yu Wantai would not be simply punished.
The next morning, Yan Muxi was awakened by a nightmare. She dreamed of her childhood in the Ice City of North Vietnam, when her sister Ning An blocked the beatings and scoldings for her and was buried in a sea of fire.
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a pale handsome face, and the words "Sister An" almost rushed out of my throat.
When she came back to her senses from the dream, she realized that the person in front of her was not Sister An, but Yu Wantai. She and Yu Wantai slept on the same bed last night.
It was getting light outside and it should still be early. She wanted to close her eyes and sleep for a while, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was full of the scenes in her dream and the way Yu Wantai was whipped last night.
It was very uncomfortable to lie still without being able to sleep. She was wondering if turning over would disturb Yu Wantai next to her, when Yu Wantai suddenly opened his eyes.
When their eyes met, Yan Muxi subconsciously climbed up from the bed.
"Hiss~" Yu Wantai let out a soft cry and frowned.
He stood up so quickly that Yan Muxi didn't notice that they were both covered with the same quilt. If the quilt was suddenly opened, it would definitely touch the wound on Yu Wantai's back.
Seeing that Yu Wantai was sweating in pain, she apologized with a self-blaming look on her face, "I'm sorry, I was so anxious that I forgot that the prince was injured. It really wasn't intentional... Are you, are you okay?"
Not wanting her to worry, Yu Wantai relaxed his frown and said, "I'm fine. I won't die."
"I know that the young master will not die, but even if he can't die, he can't stop the pain! We are already husband and wife, and we have been through hardships together. You don't have to force yourself in front of me. If you want to scream in pain, just scream. I won't laugh at you, really." Yan Muxi said seriously, and she almost raised her hand to swear.
Although these were words of concern, Yu Wantai just didn't feel comfortable listening to them. He said stubbornly, "When did I ever pretend to be strong? They are just some flesh wounds, not worth crying and screaming. Sigh~ Slow down."
"Don't you think it doesn't hurt? Who are you trying to show off to?" Yan Muxi complained, but he covered the quilt much more gently.
Yu Wantai gave her a resentful look, lifted the quilt that had just been covered on her, and climbed up from the bed with difficulty.
"Why did you get up, Young Master? Whatever you want to do, I will serve you." Yan Muxi was in a panic trying to help the person, but didn't know where to start.
She saw clearly yesterday that Yu Wantai's back and arms were covered with criss-crossing whip marks, and it was not appropriate to grab them anywhere.
Seeing her standing there with her arms outstretched, Yu Wantai, who had already climbed off the bed, took the initiative to offer her his arm, "Don't you want to serve me? Hold on."
"Oh," Yan Muxi hurriedly supported the man, "Master, please walk slowly, don't pull the wound."
Seeing that Yan Muxi had no intention of letting go after entering the bathroom, Yu Wantai could not help but remind her, "The Crown Prince's Consort can just wait outside."
"It's okay, I don't dislike you, Young Master." Yan Muxi's face was full of seriousness.
She really didn't mind serving Yu Wantai. Not to mention that they were already husband and wife, Yu Wantai was seriously injured at the moment and needed close care. She shouldn't feel ashamed.
However, there is still some gap between imagination and reality. When she was undressing, she was so nervous that her hands were shaking, and the pictures of the virile men in the storybooks kept popping up in her mind.
However, when he saw the conspicuous whip marks on the skin, the dirty thoughts in his mind instantly disappeared, and he unconsciously made his hands move more gently, trying not to touch the wound.
Yu Wantai could clearly feel that the girl's attitude towards him had become much more friendly, no longer appearing submissive on the surface but rejecting him on the inside as before.
If he had known that being beaten could win the girl's affection, he would not have pretended to be drunk and used fancy beauty tricks, but would have directly used the self-torture trick.
