Having pleased his beloved, Yinreng suddenly had a clear direction.
To keep Tong Wanyan from getting bored during her postpartum period, he had people follow up on Longkodo's miserable situation every day and tell it to Tong Wanyan.
Since you dared to offend Tong Wanyan so recklessly when she was about to give birth, then you should stay with her during her postpartum period.
When Tong Wanyan was able to get out of bed and walk around the room, Longkodo could still only sleep on his stomach.
When Tong Wanyan was finally able to finish her postpartum confinement and Hongyan was holding a full-month celebration, poor Longkodo could finally lie down and sleep.
He had never felt so happy to be able to lie down and sleep as he did now.
He will soon find out that things are not over so quickly.
Just as Longkodo was recovering from his injuries, he mentioned to Tong Guowei again that he wanted to take his fourth son as a concubine. Yinreng went to the Duke of Tong's mansion.
Not only that, he also brought Tong Qinian and Tong Ruita with him.
Originally, Orondai, Kuadai, and even Fahai wanted to come along as well.
They're all brothers-in-law, so why is it that the adoptive brother gets to go while the direct relatives are left out?
Yinreng said inscrutably, "Your family has already seen the show once, so it's time for a change of people. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If it's always your family, what about our kinship?"
Whether or not there is a family relationship is irrelevant. Even if someone is kicked out of the family, it is Longkodo who is kicked out, and it has nothing to do with them.
However, Yinreng's words made sense. Only by taking turns finding fault could they prove that many people were protecting Tong Wanyan. This would also serve as a warning to others with ulterior motives, showing them that the Tong family's daughter could not be bullied.
When Longkodo saw Yinreng arrive, his back, which hadn't hurt before, started to throb again.
He ignored Tong Qinian and Tong Ruita who were following behind.
Although Tong Qinian and Tong Ruita held noble titles and were at the height of their power in the court, Longkodo did not take these two collateral relatives seriously.
Tong Guowei, being the shrewd old fox he was, sensed the newcomer's ill intentions but didn't stop him.
He was so angry at his son, whose mind was completely captivated by women, that he almost fainted.
"This servant greets the Crown Prince." Tong Guowei looked kindly at Yinreng and bowed to him.
Longke stood behind Tong Guowei, his eyes filled with hostility, and Tong Guowei had no choice but to bow respectfully.
"Please rise. I've come today to visit Longkodo." Yinreng's unspoken message was, "I'm here to beat up your son; if you have nothing else to do, please leave."
“Longkodo has been physically strong since childhood, so being beaten a few times won’t hurt him. It’s the Crown Prince who is concerned. This servant still needs to go to the palace to report to the Emperor on state affairs, so please let Longkodo receive you,” Tong Guowei said.
As soon as Tong Guowei left, Longkodo sensed that something was wrong.
But seeing that Yinreng and Tong Qinian both had smiles on their faces, and Tong Ruita looked honest and simple, and that he was standing on his own territory, Longkodo felt that he must have been overthinking things.
“Your Highness, if you don’t mind, please come to my courtyard,” Longkodo said.
This was exactly what Yinreng wanted to hear; he was worried that if he beat someone badly, there would be nowhere to put them.
Yinreng accepted Longkodo's invitation with good temper, which made Longkodo feel more at ease.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the person was brought into the front yard and the servants were dismissed, Tong Ruita quickly closed the gate.
The familiar movements brought back nightmarish memories. Longkodo recalled how Orondai closed its doors a month ago, exactly like Tong Ruita.
Yinreng smiled slightly at him, his hand resting on his waist.
The Crown Prince was skilled in whipping; a whip bestowed upon him by the emperor had been used to strike countless people.
Longkodo's pupils contracted; he wanted to resist.
Tong Qinian said, "The Crown Prince shall be the ruler."
"This is the Duke of Tong's residence," Longkodo said, his tone fierce but his words betraying his inner weakness.
Yinreng sneered as he cracked his long whip, which struck Longkodo directly on the back, easily tearing a large gash in his thin summer shirt.
“Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king. Do I need to consider the location when I beat you?” Yinreng said.
