Princess Yu Tingyi of the Great Jin Dynasty is only twenty-five years old this year, and she is the same mother as Emperor Yuanhe.
When Emperor Yuanhe was vying for the throne, it was the eldest princess and Marquis Yuanning who joined forces to help him. In a sense, Marquis Yuanning and the eldest princess were on the same side.
The eldest princess and Emperor Yuanhe were of one mind.
“Your Majesty, you must not be angry. Marquis Yuanning holds military power and has a large family and business. If you want to weaken Marquis Yuanning’s family, you must not be so hasty. I know that Your Majesty only wants to teach him a lesson and does not really want to punish Marquis Yuanning. This result is the best.”
Although they are in the same camp, they don't actually share the surname Yu.
The fact that Marquis Yuanning was willing to risk the crime of deceiving the public to have someone else marry into Prince Gong's mansion in his place shows how much he valued Su Muqing.
Marquis Yuanning was, after all, the one who helped him ascend the throne. If he insists on using this matter to punish him, or insists on bringing Su Muqing into the Prince Gong's mansion, it will likely chill Marquis Yuanning's heart and make him more likely to have other ideas.
Emperor Yuanhe could not possibly be unaware of such reasoning, and could only angrily say: "The heir of the Marquis of Yuanning is serving as a minister in the court, and he will be able to inherit the title after his father dies. His second son is also serving as the vice minister of the Ministry of War. In addition to the Marquis of Yuanning himself, there are already three members of his family serving in the court. Now he even plans to arrange a marriage between his daughter and the Xia family. Isn't he trying to usurp my power? Haven't I been good enough to him?"
The Xia family is the Empress's maternal family. Isn't this an attempt to join forces with the Empress?
So, in a fit of anger, he bestowed Su Muqing upon Yu Nanqing, firstly to warn Marquis Yuanning to behave himself, and secondly because if Su Muqing caused any trouble at Prince Gong's residence, he could deal with Yu Nanqing as well!
"What's the big deal? It's just a marriage certificate. I understand women's minds best. Why don't you leave the matter of the Marquis's family's marriage to me, Your Majesty?"
"Well, since you have a plan, I'll leave it to you." Emperor Yuanhe's mood finally improved. He sat down, lifting his robe. "There's one more thing. I heard that the person I arranged was..."
The eldest princess also sat down: "Yes, I've heard about it too."
"Moreover, this morning, someone from Prince Gong's residence came and said that Su Wanyan ignored my instructions and insisted on getting a meal for Yu Nanqing."
"That's simple. Lai Qu is the daughter that Marquis Yuan Ning didn't want. Your Majesty, just give the order to teach her a lesson, and she'll remember it." The Princess spoke in a flat tone, as if she were dealing with an ant.
“I have already given instructions.” He looked at the eldest princess, then suddenly changed the subject: “Your brother also wants to remind you not to go too far with the prince consort.”
The eldest princess looked disdainful, but still obediently replied, "Your Majesty, I understand."
Emperor Yuanhe knew that she always let this matter go in one ear and out the other, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
The main courtyard of Prince Gong's Mansion.
When Su Wanyan came over carrying the bedding, she was already panting heavily.
This palace is incredibly large, with garden paths everywhere, and the layout of each courtyard is quite similar, making it very easy to get lost.
She carried the bedding and walked for a long time before finding her way back.
She threw the bedding at the foot of the bed, took a breath with her hands on her hips, and then quickly started making the sheets.
Just as she was about to use Yu Nanqing to move away, Yu Nanqing suddenly woke up and grabbed her by the back of the neck with his large hand.
"Ah!" Su Wanyan was startled.
Upon realizing it was Su Wanyan, Yu Nanqing instantly lost his grip. In the blink of an eye, he heard Su Wanyan cursing, "Yu Nanqing, that's enough! This is the third time you've grabbed my neck. Enough is enough. If it happens again, I really won't care about you anymore!"
"..." Yu Nanqing frowned coldly. She actually dared to say that if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been stripped naked and humiliated like this.
Before he could even process it, Su Wanyan had already grabbed his arm, and with a little force, Yu Nanqing's body rolled to the other side.
As a result, the wedding dress covering him became crooked, revealing his sickly body.
Yu Nanqing's face darkened instantly. Before Su Wanyan could let go, he lifted his wedding robe, swung it with a whoosh, and threw it at Su Wanyan's face, covering her entire head.
"Huh? What's going on?" Su Wanyan not only couldn't see anything because her head was covered, but she was also thrown to the ground.
She angrily ripped off her wedding dress, then froze when she saw Yu Nanqing on the bed.
Yu Nanqing had already covered himself completely with the blanket, and his gaze as he turned to glare at Su Wanyan was cold and warning.
Su Wanyan's anger vanished instantly. She chuckled, "What are you shy about? It's not like I haven't seen it before. Not only have I, but last night I even did it to you inside and out..."
"Su, Wan, Yan!"
Yu Nanqing's face darkened, and he spat out three words through gritted teeth.
"Hey, I'm here!" Su Wanyan seemed to have figured out his personality and wasn't afraid at all.
Although his body was covered, the bedding beneath him was still a mess. As she helped him put the blankets back on, she asked curiously, "Aren't you paralyzed? How can you cover yourself up so well?"
Yu Nanqing kept a cold face and didn't want to respond at all.
His legs are paralyzed, not his hands!
Seeing that Yu Nanqing did not respond, Su Wanyan propped herself up on the bed with both hands and leaned closer to look at his face: "What are you doing? Are you still angry? If I want to take care of you, I have to check on your health. I won't tell anyone how you are. Only you, me, and heaven and earth know. Relax a little."
"You!" Su Wanyan's breath hit Yu Nanqing's face, and Yu Nanqing felt a tightness in his chest. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't help but cough violently.
Su Wanyan quickly changed her mind: "Okay, okay, I won't watch it then, don't get agitated."
She was really afraid that Yu Nanqing would vomit blood again.
She patted his back through the blanket to help him catch his breath, and then asked, "Hey, do you have any money? If you don't have money, I can't hire a doctor to clean your bedsores."
The imperial physicians in the palace are no longer a reliable option.
"..." Yu Nanqing pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time before his eyes darkened: "I advise you not to waste your energy."
In his current state, what difference does it make whether he sees a doctor or not?
“Why waste your energy? Heal your bedsores so you can sleep more comfortably.”
Yu Nanqing simply closed her eyes, unwilling to speak any further.
Su Wanyan suddenly leaned closer again: "Do you need to pee?"
The veins on Yu Nanqing's temples bulged instantly.
Seeing that he didn't react, Su Wanyan asked again, "What about poop? Do you need to poop?"
The veins on Yu Nanqing's temples bulged even more.
He didn't know what 'baba' meant, but based on the previous sentence, he could guess what Su Wanyan was referring to.
He had never met such a vulgar and uncouth woman in his life. How could she say such things so carelessly?
Su Wanyan ignored him and added, "Make a sound when you're going to pull it, but don't pull it on the bed, I just made the sheets."
If you asked her to find another blanket, she wouldn't know where to look.
"..." Yu Nanqing gritted her teeth in anger.
