Chapter 49 Chapter 49 [VIP]
In other words, she had been feeling vaguely unwell for the past few days, but she hadn't been very calm during these days. As she was still young, she didn't pay much attention to this minor problem.
But tonight's headache came in a very strange way. Her forehead felt heavy and swollen. She walked into a fog, pushed aside the heavy clouds, and saw a little light.
She met her brother in the golden house built for her by the prince.
She lived in this place for half a month. The prince would occasionally come over and sleep with her in his arms. Even if he didn't do anything to her, he was very satisfied. But most of the time he would not stay overnight, and he would always respond to her requests. When she said she wanted to see her family, the prince did not suspect anything and brought her brother with him the next time.
The prince brought him here and gave him a few words of advice. Then someone from the palace came to summon him, and he got up to say goodbye.
The brother suddenly fed her a pill and spoke a lot to her in a hurry, always worried that someone would break in.
But Shen Youyi understood. She got a pill from the second prince that could temporarily suppress the poisonous insect. However, this medicine was very harmful to the body. She would be awake for two days after taking it, but she would have to endure great pain.
Many people have seen the true appearance of the wife of the Marquis of Lingyang. After the prince comforted her, he slowly told her some of her past, which was a mixture of truth and lies. Then he would bring her back to the Marquis of Lingyang's mansion, choose a good family to be her godparent, and then the parents of that family would send her to serve in the Eastern Palace.
However, the prince will be leaving the capital soon, so this task will naturally be handed over to his trusted ministers. My brother is not completely satisfied with the prince's plan. He wants her to wear a jade pendant that he always carries with him. In a few days, the Duke of Yan will hold a banquet at his mansion. She will definitely win the pity of the Duke of Yan's wife, and the Duke of Yan will recognize her as his own daughter.
It took several months for her to regain her memory.
She lived in the inner house of the Wei family and was called Madam Wei, replacing Wei Lanzhen's name and identity.
Everything here was very comfortable and peaceful. She only needed to accompany her mother, talk and laugh, and do some needlework every day. If she wanted to ride horses or play ball, there would always be someone to serve and teach her. That was the prince's preference, and he was willing to train her in these aspects.
However, whenever Duke Wei Jingzhong of Yan met her, the look in his eyes became much more complicated, not like that of a biological father and daughter... but more like he was facing a terrifying beauty who brought disaster upon herself, a hot potato that he had to take on.
She had dreamed of reliving the days of being a little girl with her parents, but she couldn't be happy at all.
A few days later, my brother went to the Duke of Yan's mansion to bring her new medicine. Seeing her crying on the bed, he couldn't help but hold her in his arms to comfort her. Unable to bear her repeated requests, he took her to secretly change into men's clothes and took a carriage to the Second Prince's mansion.
Unfortunately, His Majesty was taking the White Dragon Fish Meditation today and happened to be on a secret visit to L. The Second Prince only had time to see her when he retired to take the medicine.
She had already experienced two men. The relationship between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince was so delicate. This Second Prince was able to help, and she was sure that he had no good intentions.
But once Xiao Lang died, she would sooner or later fall into the hands of the prince again, and her so-called chastity would be impossible to maintain.
She knelt before him, removing her clothes layer by layer, revealing her jade-like, yet even softer, body to the man. She said softly, "I have nothing else but my body to repay you, my lord. You are the legitimate son of the Empress Dowager. Are you willing to be subordinate to someone else for long?"
The sound of stringed instruments drifted faintly across the water. The Second Prince looked down at her, a gentle smile on his pale face. He coughed twice and said, "Madam, feel free to speak frankly, whatever you wish to say."
Shen Youyi took a deep breath, her skin undulating like soft waves: "Yi Niang is sincere to Your Highness. Looking at the entire capital, Your Highness is the only noble who is capable of competing with the Eastern Palace. You have helped me, and I will repay you with gratitude... As long as Your Highness does not despise me, I will teach Yi Niang to be your concubine and maid, and I am willing to do so."
Although the Second Prince was young and frail, who could predict the future? Perhaps she had made the right bet, and one day she would be able to chop that man from the Eastern Palace into pieces, killing Yang as well. She didn't care who she entrusted her body to, as long as he could help her get revenge, she would accept him...
“The ground is very cold, Madam Shen should put on some clothes and get up to talk.”
He seemed to smile, but because of his thin figure, he didn't show much joy. "It's a pity that I am not blessed enough to enjoy your kindness, my lady. But there is one thing you said that was wrong."
Shen Youyi prided herself on her beauty, and no man had ever been able to resist her body. She half-pull her clothes together, her face flushing and turning pale. Even if a man didn't like her, wouldn't sleeping with his brother's most beloved woman make him feel happy from the bottom of his heart?
However, she had suffered enough humiliation, Shen Youyi said softly: "I would like to hear the details."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, but doesn't he still have his father, the Emperor, above him?"
The Second Prince's voice was gentle, like a beautiful woman: "A prince, when my lady abandoned me and chose my brother, her sights weren't limited to the Eastern Palace, were they?"
She had never considered such a path. Her mouth opened and closed several times before she finally calmed down her shock. "Your Majesty has concubines all over the palace, so how could he be fond of a widow like me... Your Highness's mother is the Empress, and you want me to enter the palace. Haven't you thought about the Empress?"
The second prince drank half a cup of mint drink and said, "Lady, how could I have pointed out a path for you, yet you still hesitate to move forward?"
Shen Youyi pondered for a moment, thinking seriously for a while, then, how can I see His Majesty?
Even when she was at the peak of her career, she did not have the chance to meet Emperor Yuan Shuo. Now that the prince was watching her very closely, it was even less likely.
Could it be that if she rushed out and fell in front of Emperor Yuan Shuo, she would attract his attention?
He smiled faintly, looking straight at her, as if waiting for her to refuse, but he said, "Yi Niang, as long as you are willing, there is a chance."
She just thought about it for a moment and nodded doubtfully.
There was no other way to go except to believe him, but she made a request, which was to see Emperor Yuan Shuo from a distance.
She changed into a maid's clothes and was led to the pavilion, where she quietly looked at the emperor who was surrounded by people and the sickly and handsome young man beside him.
A single word from this man could bring disaster to the entire Shen family. Before this, she had only heard his voice when he disguised himself as a maid and had a secret meeting with the prince.
His voice is as pure as gold and stone, as clear as a bell. Even after changing into casual clothes, he still stands out among the crowd with his extraordinary bearing.
Moreover, he looked very similar to the prince, and she could easily recognize him from a distance.
She was like a hungry mouse in the gutter. Even if it was a golden sun and moon, she would want to treat it as a shortbread covered with honey and take a greedy bite.
She was almost at the end of her rope, but she was still ambitious. She wanted to seduce the most powerful man in the world to be intimate with her, to make him fall completely at her feet, and to fall in love with a female prisoner in the Ye Ting Bureau whom he had never even looked at before. And then, on the couch, she would tell him in person.
...The beauty he enjoyed was coveted by the young prince, and his son had done many terrible and ugly things to get her.
It's not just coveting her. They used to be in love day and night a few years ago. The prince even favored his wife and killed his concubine for her.
No matter whose father or husband he is, even if once the matter is exposed, the only one who benefits is the Second Prince, but as long as she can make the Crown Prince and Emperor Yuan Shuo alienated and end up in a more tragic end than her husband, she doesn't care!
There was even a surge of cruel excitement in his bones.
They are so arrogant, but aren't they going to make the most vulnerable and helpless girls play tricks on them?
This was what she thought that day, and when Duke Yan hosted a banquet to entertain the royal father and son, and she personally presented the cup of wine to the emperor, she did not change her mind.
…
Shen Youyi woke up suddenly. She felt a tear mark on the pillow, but when she regained consciousness, she was shocked to realize that the place she was in was not the emperor's tent, but seemed a bit remote.
She raised her head with difficulty and looked around. It looked like a hunter's temporary hut, simple but fully equipped.
The salty tea was bubbling on the stove. She felt weak and thirsty, so she picked up a long spoon and scooped some tea, blowing it cool. She drank several bowls before she forced herself to walk out the door.
It was fine when Emperor Yuan Shuo didn't torment her, and she could bear it even if it happened twice or twice. But for her to be at the top and treat others like horses... and she was a weak woman who was not good at riding, even with external support, it would be difficult for her to withstand such a storm.
Even because she was in his palm, she could clearly feel the soreness in her side... perhaps it was caused by the man's grip.
He was very satisfied and even couldn't let go of her. In a half-awake state, she seemed to hear him say that she could eat more and gain more weight, and there was nothing wrong with a beautiful woman with plump skin.
Fortunately, the emperor had some conscience. Although he threw her into the wilderness, she was clean and fresh. Although her clothes were made of coarse cloth, they were new.
She was full of doubts, but when she went out, she saw a man roasting bear paws using local ingredients by the bamboo forest and stream, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Emperor Yuan Shuo actually changed into the rough clothes of a mountain hunter and roasted the meat very patiently. There was also a trimmed bear skin by the stream.
Fortunately, there were no large pieces of bloody meat that shocked her sight. Shen Youyi thought that the emperor brought many attendants with him, and he would definitely reward them with some of the meat.
The man, who would wear seven or eight layers of silk clothes and meticulously fix his cuffs and belt even in summer, was now leisurely grilling meat.
She tried to guess, could it be that they had hunted a bear at night and ended up spending the night in this simple place?
But she had a terrible headache at that time and knew nothing about l.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Emperor Yuan Shuo smiled slightly and asked in a mellow voice, "Madam, why are you here?"
He already knew that his concubine would forget everything about him once she woke up, so he didn't feel much.
But the contraceptive cold medicine could not be poured into her mouth, so she had to be washed carefully to remove any trace of male filth.
Shen Youyi was silent. She didn't know what mood she was in facing the man in front of her at the moment.
He must be obsessed with his body.
He was furious because she refused to have children, but then turned around and reconciled with her as before, even holding a memorial ceremony for her deceased husband, and patiently played this amnesia game with her.
She has already received all the love from the emperor, so what else can she do to make him fall at her feet?
From time to time he crudely disguised himself as a mountain hunter, trying to win her heart. She only needed to tell him everything across a stream to easily arouse the emperor's wrath.
From this day on, life would never be good for them, father and son.
Shen Youyi opened her mouth, but uttering a single syllable was extremely strenuous for her.
She was actually timid and found it so difficult that she couldn't speak out.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Emperor Yuan Shuo sighed softly and said gently, "I am a hunter in the mountains. My wife was unconscious somewhere last night, so I had no choice but to let you rest in my home."
He knew what she liked to see, so he half-covered it in the daytime for her to see. "Would you like to eat something to fill your stomach?"
Shen Youyi nodded, but her expression was hard to be lively. She took the dried meat from his hand, tore it into thin strips and put it in her mouth, but a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
Emperor Yuan Shuo had actually arranged for him to be a hunter. She thought of the family she had replaced in her household registration, and she murmured, agreeing with him, "My dear, you are extraordinary. How could you make a living by hunting in the mountains?"
"So what does the lady think I should do?"
Emperor Yuan Shuo looked at her confused and troubled face and smiled slightly, saying, "Become your concubine/head?"
Shen Youyi seemed to be bitten by the dried meat, and was so shocked that she almost vomited it out, but when she swallowed it, it was like a knife, and she said with difficulty: “What did you say!”
The emperor said he wanted to be her male favorite, and she felt a little regretful that she did not call him "Your Majesty" just now, and directly show the effect of spending a good night together. She was a step too late, and actually saw his unrestrained side.
...It turns out that the king she serves is not old-fashioned at all, but such a romantic and unrestrained person?
Emperor Yuan Shuo's eyes swept across her waist and heart. Although he said nothing, it seemed as if he saw through everything.
He said slowly, "That's not what Madam said last night."
Shen Youyi was almost dazed, and said softly, "Ah": "What did I say?"
After a night of passion, the noble lady refused to admit her guilt. The mountain people were simple and honest, and they had a lot of strength. The hunter, who was teased, reached out and pulled her into his arms, breathing hotly: "Madam, didn't you say that your husband is useless and asked me to lend you a child?"
Shen Youyi had somewhat forgotten what exactly happened in this paragraph. She really wanted a child, and was afraid that he would not give her all the things that could produce offspring. It seemed that she had indeed been talking nonsense for a while.
But does Emperor Yuan Shuo still remember it today?
She stammered, "Then what do you want? Should I take you home and settle you down? My husband at home probably won't agree. What if someone dies?"
Shen Youyi didn't know who her husband was: "No matter who of you two dies, I will be sad!"
Emperor Yuan Shuo stroked her hair. Although he knew her problem, he couldn't help teasing her. He said gently, "Why don't you just go home and live with me in the mountains? I can chop wood and hunt to support you."
Everything that happened before his eyes overlapped with the scene in his dream… Shen Youyi shook his head.
This is really outrageous!
She didn't know if she would be condemned to death if she exposed him a little later, but now she was at a loss and just wanted to sit quietly for a while with the man she had some feelings for.
Even though he is the prince's father, a father who loves his children.
She said, "I can't get used to such a hard life. How about I stay with you for a while longer and give you more money? If you really put in some effort and help me get pregnant, I can report to my husband's family."
Shen Youyi touched the gold hairpins on her head, carefully removed one without ruffling her hair, handed it to him and said, “Look, I am rich.”
Emperor Yuan Shuo had never thought that she would accept the story of having a private relationship with him to borrow a child so quickly. He didn't know whether he should be glad that she really liked him, or angry that she was shameless. She was like a little animal that had not been enlightened by a saint and had only selfish instincts.
"Madam, do you think my child is worth just this much?"
Shen Youyi was helpless. How could the emperor and the hunter have the same child? Besides, people used gold and silver hairpins and rings in the wild, which could easily slip and be lost when hunting.
She just wanted to be closer to him, and it would be even better if she could get some more pleasure from him. She said perfunctorily, "Although you look good, you are not young anymore after all. I am as beautiful as a flower. Do I have to pay a lot to enjoy a night with you?"
She stood up to leave, but was grabbed by the lowly hunter. The stones by the stream were covered with moss. She screamed in fear, but finally fell into the man's clutches.
Shen Youyi struggled for a moment, then whispered coyly, "If we can't agree on the price, then let me go!"
Emperor Yuan Shuo, however, held her delicate arms with one hand and held them tightly.
If he had not tasted it, he could have just played around with her, pecked her cheek lightly, been affectionate and loving, and told her that all this was fake and that they were a legitimate couple.
However, she couldn't wait to force the king's tenderness and charm while begging for mercy yesterday. Even now, she still feels very excited when she thinks about it, and she wishes he could bully her right away.
This coarse cloth that could not hide his shame seemed to magnify the evil side of his heart. He seemed to have really saved a delicate and beautiful lady, and then took advantage of her misfortune to have sex with her several times. Today he wanted to take her for himself, and then inject himself into her day and night, teaching her to cry every day to accept his blessings and get pregnant with a strange man's child.
He had the power to do whatever he wanted, and he could even tie her up with a few silk ribbons and throw her into the stream. But he didn't know if giving her a bowl of cold medicine afterwards would be effective, and she was not one who could endure hardship.
Emperor Yuan Shuo then let go of her, who had stopped struggling, and handed her the cooked food: "Madam, aren't you hungry?"
Shen Youyi couldn't eat anything at the moment, she just wanted to get a sense of security from him.
The only thing she knew was the peace of mind of being with a man.
She seemed to have adapted to this important identity. She snorted coldly and turned away: "You haven't said whether you agree to my request or not. Otherwise, I will find someone else to help me. I will definitely give birth!"
She knew too well the jealousy of men, and that just a few words could make someone angry.
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuan Shuo's expression suddenly darkened. He stretched out his arm to grab one of her knees, bent his legs to hold her down, and untied the ties of her skirt with one hand!
Shen Youyi gasped, "Ah!" She had never been bullied by him like a bound captive, but she was a noble lady in distress. Suddenly falling into the hands of a vulgar warrior, she was bound to be beaten. She was just worried that the Jinwu Guards who were guarding somewhere outside would hear her, so she turned her head and protested softly, "I won't pay you!"
Emperor Yuan Shuo patted her slightly hard and said in a deep voice, "If you want to have a baby, just be still and don't make any noise!"
There were countless times when they had acted without restraint, but they had been banned for so long that Emperor Yuan Shuo almost forgot how hard it was to give up that indulgence.
However, even if she had lost her memory, she still had the ability to make him remember that feeling.
He was not indifferent to her, and even took sex very seriously.
Shen Youyi lay in front of a large rock by the stream. The sunlight warmed the rock and made her skin look whiter than snow. Since she lost her memory, she rarely received the emperor's frequent favor, but it seemed that only the most cruel and frivolous methods, almost killing her, could give her peace of mind.
She felt as if she was being caned, and could only hear the muffled sound of the blows, but was unable to truly get him.
He is the only one who is happy.
So she tried the same trick again, and after guessing the direction correctly, she raised her head up to meet the wind. It was like a carriage running over her, so heavy that it made her cry.
But when he realized her greed and tried to break free, he was firmly trapped by her airtight net. She sobbed, "Why are you the only one who feels comfortable? You are serving me, don't you understand?"
Although Emperor Yuan Shuo's body was strong, his heart was soft.
She wanted him to serve her, as if she was thirsty for the loneliness in the deep palace.
"Yi Niang, there are many ways to serve you..."
He could hardly resist her enthusiasm. He should stop doing that kind of thing after one or two times. If she spoiled him and developed a picky appetite, she might even climb over his head and laugh at him for doing such a despicable thing.
But she would forget it completely the next day, and with this excuse, it would not be so difficult for him to accept it.
Emperor Yuan Shuo leaned over to her ear, wanting to explain it to her in general, but when he moved too quickly, he heard her let out a long cry. Knowing that she couldn't bear it anymore, he was about to ask her if she liked it, but she turned her head and he kissed her with difficulty.
He found it quite amusing. Logically, he was the man who ruined her reputation, yet she had developed a subtle affection for him.
But her behavior had softened considerably—she seemed to be accepting him more and more each day.
Shen Youyi was almost like a piece of fish on his chopping board. He couldn't hit her, couldn't scold her, and couldn't even hug him tightly. So he cleared his throat and asked for a bottle of boiled and cooled spring water to drink. After moistening his throat, he opened his lips and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, when are we going back today?"
Her voice was soft and had a hint of charm, but her face reflected in the stream was not so bright.
Shen Youyi noticed that the grip behind him had loosened a little, and asked softly, "You are the emperor, and your every word and action is closely watched. What if something bad happens?"
Her words were clearly full of concern, but the weight behind her suddenly lightened.
Emperor Yuan Shuo leaned on the stone beside her, trying his best to suppress the joy and shock in his tone.
"Yi Niang... do you remember?"
She could hear his joy, and her cold heart seemed to be pierced by something, and she let out a soft "hmm".
She had never fallen in love at first sight with the man in front of her, but she played this trick with him every day.
Emperor Yuan Shuo pecked her on the back and was about to straighten her clothes when he stopped, his gaze deep and dark: "When did Yi Niang remember this?"
