Chapter 49: Little Cannon Fodder, Big Dream (2)
Mu Yan glanced at the kicked-over chair with a faint expression, then raised her eyelids to look at Li Lian who was unable to stand steadily.
"Does the Prime Minister's Mansion think I'm easy to bully? They sent this ugly monster to disgust me."
Li Lian cursed for a while, and the drunkenness dissipated a little.
"It's all the same after the lights are blown out. I'll just bear with myself tonight and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to settle accounts with that old bastard Xie An."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a light "puff" sound and the room instantly became dark.
Muyan couldn't see anyone, she could only hear the rustling sound of clothes being taken off, getting closer and closer to her.
"Little thing, I'm here to take care of you," Li Lian walked towards the bed in the dark, touched the mosquito net, and pounced straight onto the bed.
Muyan got up and dodged before him.
"Where's the person? Where's the person?" Li Lian didn't find the person and got up in anger, lying on the bed and pounding his fists.
Muyan gently pulled the hemp rope in her hand, and soon the hands and feet of the person on the bed were tied up.
Muyan stuffed linen into his mouth and let him whimper and struggle. She walked to the chaise longue in the dark and lay down.
Soon, there was no movement on the bed.
After a stick of incense, Muyan was awakened by the deafening snoring.
She relit the candles in the room, took a basin to fill the bathtub with water, and walked over to the bed.
"Crash"
There was a short splashing sound in the air.
Li Lian shivered from the cold water, and the little bit of drunkenness he had left disappeared completely, leaving him completely sober. He wanted to raise his hand to touch the water on his face, but found that his hands had been tied up without him knowing when.
Lying on the bed, I turned my head and saw Mu Yan standing beside the bed with an empty basin in her hand.
Li Lian's eyes were filled with cruelty, and he kept whining.
Muyan couldn't hear what he said exactly, but judging from his expression, it was probably not something good.
Mu Yan simply didn't listen, a smile appeared on her lips.
"It would be a shame to sleep like this on your wedding night. Let's do something unforgettable for you."
Muyan put down the basin in her hand and picked up the candle on the bedside table.
"I heard that you like to watch candlelight dripping on your back the most. I'll let you watch it tonight."
Li Lian looked at Mu Yan who was getting closer and closer with fear in his eyes, and kept shrinking back.
The inner side of the bed was close to the wall. Li Lian shrank a few times and his body was pressed against the back wall.
Mu Yan pulled him to the middle of the bed, easily stripped off his upper body clothes, and hung him around his waist.
"The skin is so delicate and smooth, it will look great if I drip it on it."
Li Lian shook his head a few times, and then he felt a burning pain on his back.
When a candle finished burning, Muyan bent down and pulled a wooden box from under the bed.
Li Lian was shocked by her skillful movements. No one knew about this box except him and his close followers, so how could she know about it?
Li Lian was just wondering when he saw Mu Yan placing the tools in the box on the ground one by one.
He had already guessed what this woman was going to do, and was speechless. He could only rely on his eyes to beg Mu Yan to let him go.
Muyan picked up a small whip and swung it in the air.
"Don't worry, these are all yours."
…
The servants in the Third Prince's Mansion all knew what kind of person their master was.
Normally, even when they were in their own rooms, they could hear sounds coming from the master's room from time to time.
The wedding night was so quiet that it made people uneasy.
Fugui, the personal attendant, was feeling uneasy and wanted to go to his master's yard to take a look, but was stopped by his companions.
"You are so stupid! The Third Prince's wife is the Prime Minister's daughter. How can she be treated the same as the other women I usually have?"
"You know my temper. If you dare to disturb him, he will beat you up no matter who you are."
Fugui thought of the beating he had received and felt a numbness on his back, so he decided not to go.
The next day, at daybreak, Muyan heard the servants talking outside the door.
"Master, it's time to get up. We have to go to the palace to pay our respects to His Majesty."
"I understand. Wait outside," said Mu Yan.
"Yes," Fugui was glad that he didn't come last night. The third prince's wife was indeed different from the other women his master usually had.
Li Lian was tortured by Mu Yan for a whole night. His body was covered with bruises and his bedding was soaked with his cold sweat.
Mu Yan looked at him with disdain, he looked like a dead dog, took out a pill from his sleeve, and took the sackcloth out of his mouth.
With a flick of his finger, the pill went down the esophagus and into Li Lian's stomach.
Li Lian coughed hard, trying to cough out the medicine, but it was too much and had no effect.
"What did you feed me? If I don't go to the palace today, my father will definitely send someone to see you. That will be the day you die."
Mu Yan chuckled nonchalantly, "The medicine you just took is called Half Life. As the name suggests, if you don't get an antidote within half a day after taking it, you will die from a ruptured intestine."
"The most important thing is that I'm the only one who has the antidote. The imperial physician can't diagnose the condition at all. As for what to do, you know what to do."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yan untied the ropes on his hands and feet.
"If you don't believe me, take a look and see if there's a black spot on your palm."
Li Lian immediately raised his palm, and just as Mu Yan said, there was indeed a black spot on the palm of his hand.
All of a sudden, the revenge plan that Li Lian had been thinking about all night sank to the bottom of his heart.
