Yu Yan walked out of the bathtub, hugged her arms tightly, put on her embroidered shoes, and with a body of water droplets on her clothes, she slowly walked over.
The closer he got, the clearer his breathing became.
"Little Qing Yu, this name is quite interesting, but unfortunately, there is nothing else interesting about it." He sneered, still brimming with anger. "If you don't learn the basics, if you don't treat This King as your heaven and your land, don't follow This King closely. You'll still have a lot more time when you're in pain."
He gripped her waist and rubbed it hard, hard, as if he wanted to break her slender waist.
"Prince, it hurts …"
Yu Yan whimpered a few times, her hand slipped out from his long hair and rested entirely on his chest. The sound of her sobs slowly started to come out and enter his ears.
His breathing became calmer. He stood up abruptly and carried her on his shoulder, striding towards the bed within the house that was wide enough to roll six or seven people together. He tossed it up and waved his wide sleeves, allowing the brocade curtain to fall.
He was fierce, like a giant shark swimming up from the sea, and he bit her, the frail little fish, and dragged her to his sea, unable to free himself.
"Who am I?" He let go of her and pinched her little face as he asked in a low voice.
"Prince …"
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she made a slurring sound. He was sucking until the tip of her tongue hurt so much that it went numb! It was just two words, yet they seemed to have exhausted all of his strength.
"Who am I?"
The more he spoke, the more he pinched her, causing her to wince in pain.
"King …"
He wanted to be emperor, didn't he?
"Yu Yan, think carefully. Who am I to you?" His tone was cold as he asked again.
"I …"
Yu Yan couldn't say it out loud. She could smell the thick, manly scent coming from his body, and no matter what, she couldn't say the word "husband". Did she see him as a husband? He died more than three years ago, and she has guarded him for more than three years, guarding him back when he was so domineering that she couldn't even breathe. Right now, even though she was suppressed by him, she was still afraid. She didn't have any feelings for him other than fear.
"Can't you think it through? Whose life is it? Who's protecting you, who's supporting you! "
He squeezed his fingers so hard that her wrists were almost broken, and her hands felt as if they weren't his own. They were pressed against the top of her head. Before he could catch his breath, he used a bit more strength. She felt that her hand really did break and became his … Her blistered feet rubbed back and forth on the cool silk, and she began to ache again.
"Yulixiao... You are Yulixiao … You are my husband, my husband … "
Terrified, she screamed and clutched at his arm, wincing, trying to avoid her. He was a war god, she was a woman, and his slightly heavier strength wasn't something she could handle.
Yulixiao stared at her wrinkled face and stayed silent for a long time. It would be too easy to tame a woman, but his interest in her had reached an unprecedented level. He wanted her heart, not just the person who tamed her!
He slowly withdrew his fingers that were pinching her face and said in a low voice, "In this king's case, just put away that fake act of yours. If you want to be your big brother, go ahead and paint and write books, if you want to go, if you have This King supporting you from behind, this king will pamper you and you will do anything, if you want to have fun. But you better remember that you are This King's woman, and that your happiness was given to me by This King. You are not allowed to say no, you are not allowed to associate with other men in the slightest. "
Tears continuously rolled down from the corners of Yu Yan's eyes. She raised her hand to wipe it, then wiped it again as she whispered, "Yes."
Then, quickly let Yun Qin go, quickly let Lady Xu go … She dared not speak again, but put her hands lightly on his shoulders, gentle as a tamed cat.
The hot palms pressed down on her shoulders, not allowing her to dodge. Forcing her to endure, she would suffer as much as he gave, not allowing even half a step back.
Here in his heart, her happiness was given by him, her displeasure was given by him, he wanted to be her man, her king, her god, her land …
"Have you thought it through?" He held her face in his hands and opened up a corner of the embroidered tent, allowing the moonlight to fall on her face.
If he wanted to tame her, he would have to listen to his breathing. If he wasn't happy, he would have to listen to his breathing. Moreover, if she didn't share his heart, he would be in danger from now on. Would he be able to constantly protect her?
Yu Yan knew that he was such a man. He was arrogant and conceited, he had all the qualifications to be arrogant, but she was only a small fish that could not swim in his river or in his sea.
"Yu Yan, remember, I am your husband, the only person who can protect you is me. Those people from before, those things, they have all been forgotten, so don't be nervous in front of me. "In front of me, there is no need to pretend to be afraid. I know better than you what kind of person you are." His long fingers relaxed, and her lips touched her ear as she spoke softly.
Yu Yan scratched the blanket and closed her eyes.
During this night, Yu Yan couldn't care about who was by her side, as someone's arm was holding her, and just laid in his embrace while falling into a deep sleep.
Inside the dream, it was filled with blade and sword images. The scene of Yun Qin getting shot by the arrow repeatedly made her blood splash out.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked outside the curtain. She saw that he was sitting on a wheelchair and Chen Yao was combing his hair and putting on the golden crown.
"The prince treats her well, but she doesn't know. The prince saved her a few times, but she doesn't know that the empress dowager must have thought of a plan to deal with you after you showed yourself like that yesterday. You've yet to recover from your poison, if she sends more people to assassinate you …" Chen Yao said gently, as she smoothed the white hair on his back.
"You talk too much now." He frowned and said unhappily.
Chen Yao was quiet for a moment, then said softly: "I'm back with the medicine, one for her foot, one for her. "Last night, she cried so fiercely that the prince was brave and fierce. I'm afraid I hurt her. A woman is delicate, if you really like her, don't make her cry like that. Others might think that the prince has beaten her up."
Could it be that she was standing in the courtyard to listen? These words sounded good for her, but they made Yu Yan feel especially uncomfortable. She buried her face in a brocade pillow embroidered with camellias. Every bone was in great pain, especially her crotch, which had just been reattached, as if it had been crushed by a heavy object.
This time, Yulixiao did not make a sound, and said: "I will have someone clean up the house and come out, it will be at the east side, the prince wants her to stay there, so there is no need to stay in the servant's room, the prince can also call her to wait upon him anytime."
"Yes." Yulixiao nodded and waved his hand.
Chen Yao bowed and then slowly walked out. When she crossed the threshold, she turned her head and glanced at the embroidered tent. Yu Yan's eyes were still opened, and even though she couldn't see her face clearly through the embroidered tent, she knew that Chen Yao's expression must be ugly.
Yulixiao's face, what exactly did it look like? It must be not because of his ugly, scarred face. She did not believe that a beauty like Chen Yao would lower himself to surround him like that. She thought of the silhouette he had seen that day, domineering and noble … As a man, it could be considered as perfect.
At this time, Yulixiao stood up from the wheelchair. Since it was not installed in front of her and he was in the courtyard again, he walked over, opened the tent and looked at her.
She quickly closed her eyes and tightly hid in the quilt, leaving only her messy hair outside the quilt, tangled like water grass.
"Get up." He pulled at the quilt.
Yu Yan did not move.
"Stop pretending, I know you're awake." He sat down, put his hand on her head, and gently stroked it twice.
Yu Yan still did not move.
He pulled at the quilt, and she grabbed hold of it, pressing it tight, wrapping it around her like a cocoon. He raised his eyebrows and lifted the brocade, revealing her smooth body like a small fish. She curled up and shot him an angry glance with her large eyes before closing them to hide the anger in the depths of her eyes.
His gaze landed on her body. His white skin was covered in kisses, causing people to feel pity for him.
Last night, he had indeed caused her to yell so loudly. That kind of crazy investment was something he hadn't thought of himself, he simply couldn't control the surging tide.
"I thought that you had really tamed it. Look at your eyes. But that's fine too. If your wildness really is gone, This King will not like it anymore. You can do it like this, no matter how comfortable it is."
He put his thumb on the top of the bottle and opened the cap. He poured the medicine onto the soles of her feet, spread it gently, applied a little force, and rubbed the medicine into her skin.
Yu Yan winced from the pain, she bit her lips but did not make a sound.
When he had finished wiping her feet, he looked up at her and reached up with his hand
Yu Yan then opened his eyes, a look of panic flashed past his eyes, and she anxiously asked: "What are you doing?"
"Let me see if you're hurt here." As he spoke, he forcefully pulled her hands away with force from his palms, causing bruises to appear all over his wrists.
"Look, you are so gentle …" Yu Yan's face immediately flushed red.
"Have you seen beast taming?" "Those who were beaten were all disobedient." He poured the liquid onto her wrist and rubbed it for a moment.
The cold liquid trickled down, and she shivered, covering her hands more tightly.
"I'm going to the study. Get up and go eat something." He put the bottle away and walked to the wheelchair.
"Your Highness." She rolled to her feet and stared after him. Where's Yun Qin? Where's Lady Xu?
"You can go back to your room. Chen Yao had arranged everything for you, if you don't want to go, then wait for me here." He looked at her and got into the wheelchair and told the guards to push him.
"Your Highness …" I... That... "Lady Xu and the others …" She wrapped the quilt around her and jumped down, looking at him expectantly.
Hearing this voice, he turned his head, breathed heavily, turned his face, and said solemnly: "Yu Yan, I told you clearly last night, you better take care of yourself."
Yu Yan did not dare to take another step forward. After watching him walk into the distance, she slowly sat on the couch and stared blankly at the camellias outside.
A maidservant came in with a new set of clothes, waiting for her to wash up and put them on before leading her back to her room.
