"You still know? I think you deserve it.”Sage Ye gritted his teeth and went out to get the medicine box and clothes. He began to carefully treat Shangguan Yahan's wounds.
"Clean it up. Don't leave any scars.”Shangguan Yahan was also seriously reminding him. She originally wanted to supervise him, but it was too painful and too bloody. She didn't dare to look at him and turned her head away.
Sage Ye cleaned the wound and began to apply medicine.
She didn't know what medicine he had applied, but it stung her so much that tears started to flow out of Shangguan Yahan's eyes. She kicked Sage Ye away and screamed," Sage Ye, what did you apply on me?" It hurts so much. It doesn't even hurt this much when I'm injured.”
Sage Ye couldn't steady himself and fell to the ground, staring at Shangguan Yahan with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Shangguan Yahan suddenly remembered that Sage Ye was suspecting her right now. Wasn't she courting death?
"I'll do it myself." She sniffed and said submissively. She bent down to take the medicine bottle from Sage Ye's hand.
Sage Ye angrily swatted Shangguan Yahan's hand away and rudely pulled Shangguan Yahan's leg over. He continued to apply medicine for her and said in a deep voice," Endure it."”
Shangguan Yahan endured the pain, but she didn't dare to speak or lose her temper. She just silently cried.
After applying the medicine, Sage Ye wrapped her leg with a plain white gauze and put the medicine box aside. He got up and carried Shangguan Yahan to the side of the bath. He put her down and took off his clothes. He dipped the cloth in water and gently wiped her body.
Shangguan Yahan was in a trance, feeling a little light-headed.
Actually, Sage Xian Ye was quite gentle to her, but she had always thought that he was pretending. Or rather, his little interest in her could make him be gentle to her.
But now? He was clearly very angry and wanted to strangle her. She knew how willful she was and how unreasonable she was when she was willful, but he was still so gentle.
The expression on his face was mixed with anger, but there was concern between his brows…it was heartache.
He actually felt sorry for her.
"Sage Ye." She called out to him softly and then slammed on the brakes.
Just now, she had almost explained to him that she was not with Shangguan Jue and that she wanted him to believe her.
However, hadn't she already said that?
He didn't believe her. He had never believed her.
As she thought of this, her gradually warm heart turned cold again.
"What are you doing?" Sage Ye's voice was very low and he was still angry.
There were so many things that she had done to him. She had allowed so many men to watch her dance. She had asked Situ Yue to protect her, but she did not need his protection. She had also been willful…
There were so many of them. She was really an expert at making him angry.
However, she was injured. That anger could not overcome the heartache for her, not even one percent.
"Isn't this contradictory? It's contradictory to me." She asked softly. Her voice was very soft, but it was clearly transmitted into Sage Ye's ears.
"Yes, it's very contradictory." Sage Ye muttered weakly.
When he couldn't see her, he wished he could kill her. When he saw her, he only needed a glance to soften his heart.
How could this not be contradictory?
Shangguan Yahan laughed lightly, her laughter somewhat cold.
He admitted it. He admitted it.
So what if he treated her well? This was not what she wanted, nor did she want to accept Sage Ye's kindness to her.
They were destined to never be together. They would never be together.
He would endure for a few more days and wait for Nian Yourui's good news.
Sage Ye wiped her body clean and washed himself. He put on his clothes and carried her back to her room.
"Sage Ye, I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry.”Shangguan Yahan sat on the bed and glanced at him before lowering her head.
She had been starving for the whole day and knew that she had asked for it. If Sage Xian Ye did not give her food…then he would not have a good night.
So what if she was willful? This was the problem she had since she was born in her mother's womb. It had been more than twenty years, but her parents had not changed it for her... Oh, no, they had already agreed to stop it. The Sage Ye now was not someone she could provoke. If he was really angry and killed by her, wouldn't that be the end of him?
Sage Ye only felt his throat burning uncomfortably, as if a stream of hot air was stuck there.
He glared at her coldly, turned around, and went out. After drinking a cup of tea, he ordered the servants to inform the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After waiting for about half an hour, dinner was finally served. Sage Ye then ordered everyone to go down and sit on a stool with Shangguan Yahan in his arms.
Shangguan Yahan couldn't care less, picking up her chopsticks and eating in big mouthfuls.
It smelled so good. Anything tasted good when one was hungry.
"Can you slow down? No one's snatching it from you.”Sage Ye looked at her gluttonous appearance and held back his laughter for a long time.
"How many people can choke to death while eating? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. If I really die, it's because of your curse. I'll turn into a malicious ghost and come back to take revenge on you.”Shangguan Yahan reflexively retorted, and then regretted it.
However, when she saw that Sage Ye did not seem angry, she heaved a sigh of relief.
He suspected her and was still testing her. However, he did not have any conclusive evidence, so he would not do anything to her for a while.
Anyway, she was leaving in a few days, so nothing big should happen.
The next day, before Sage Ye entered the palace, he warned Shangguan Yahan for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. He threatened and coaxed her, telling her to stay in the residence and not to go out.
Shangguan Yahan nodded repeatedly. She had nothing to do today and didn't plan to go out, so she swore.
However, Sage Ye seemed to really not believe her. Whether it was her identity or her words, he did not believe them. So, not long after he left, he returned.
"Forget it, you should follow me into the palace.”Sage Ye said as he held Shangguan Yahan's hand and walked out.
"Enter the palace? Why should I enter the palace? I already said that I'm not going out. Sage Ye, do you have to do this?”Shangguan Yahan refused to comply and was forcefully carried into the sedan chair.
Along the way, they met Situ Yue. The two men looked at each other, and Situ Yue lost in terms of aura.
To be precise, Situ Yue admitted defeat himself.
Sage Ye walked past him and said coldly," Go and get fifty strokes of the cane yourself.”
"Fifty strokes?" Shangguan Yahan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Yue's voice sounded in his ear," Yes.”After saying that, he turned around and left to get his punishment.
"What is it? Brother Tian Yue…Sage Ye, if you have anything to say, come at me. Brother Tian Yue was also tortured by me. I forced him to agree to it with my death. You can punish me. Why do you have to punish him?”Shangguan Yahan began to struggle, turning back to look at Situ Yue.
Was this person so willing to be beaten?
"So, you better behave yourself in the future. This king is not willing to punish you, but that doesn't mean that I didn't punish you. If you don't want to implicate others, then behave yourself in the future, do you hear me?”Sage Ye finished speaking and was about to throw Shangguan Yahan away. Shangguan Yahan reflexively became obedient and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. Only then did he smile in satisfaction.
"Despicable, despicable person." Shangguan Yahan whispered. She knew Sage Ye could hear her, but she wanted him to hear her.
After getting on the palanquin, Shangguan Yahan immediately distanced herself from Sage Ye and was pulled into his arms.
"Are you very unhappy that this king doesn't punish you? You want to be beaten too?" He pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Big Brother Tian Yue is your Eldest Senior Brother, a good brother. Fifty strokes of the cane, aren't you too ruthless?”Shangguan Yahan had heard that fifty strokes of the cane were enough to kill.
Of course, Situ Yue was physically strong and had great martial arts skills, but it was not easy to be beaten so many times.
Entering the Palace
"Don't change the topic. Tell me, do you want to be beaten? Brother Ye will give you whatever Ya Han 'er wants, and the board is no exception.”Sage Xian Ye moved closer to her, and their lips were about to touch.
"I…of course I don't want to." Shangguan Yahan had no backbone…She wasn't a coward, she wasn't stupid, why would she want to get beaten up?
"Then shut your little mouth.”Sage Ye kissed her and kissed her again before letting go.
There were still important things to do in the palace later. If he came again now, his condition would be bad.
Shangguan Yahan had regained her freedom and immediately left Sage Ye's side.
After entering the palace, the Empress heard that Shangguan Yahan was coming and immediately rushed over with Xian Ruoling. Sage Ye gave Shangguan Yahan a few instructions before going to the royal study.
"Princess Consort." The Empress and Xian Ruoling walked over hand in hand. One was smiling while the other was possessed by Nanny Rong.
Just now, Sage Ye had instructed her not to be bullied. Was he hinting that these two people were going to bully her?
It should be. What else could a woman in the palace do if she didn't bully others?
Thinking of this, she reflexively touched the slingshot in her shoulder bag.
"Empress." She nodded and smiled at the Empress, not even looking at Xian Ruoling.
Anyway, they had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, so why was there a need to act?
"Don't be so formal. You can call Bengong Wenliu, then Bengong will call you Yahan.”Empress Su Wenliu Zilai took Shangguan Yahan's hand and led her into the inner palace. She then ordered the palace maids to serve tea, cakes, and fruits.
"No need. I don't like to eat these.”Shangguan Yahan glanced at the plates and cups on the table and swallowed her saliva, not daring to eat.
They wouldn't poison her to death, but laxatives were enough to make her choke. Especially this Xian Ruoling, he could definitely do such a thing.
"The Empress gave it to you, yet you dare to refuse.”Xian Ruoling snorted.
Everyone knew that there was a grudge between the two of them. She did not want to put on an act. It was tiring to point fingers at others and scold others. It would be more fun to scold them directly like this.
