He did not stay in the wooden barrel for too long. After confirming that the dirt on his body had been washed away by the water, he hurriedly exited the wooden barrel.
If it was any other day, he would have asked Lan Yue to wipe his back, but he was not in the mood at the moment. Water droplets slid down his jade-like skin, and his entire body was steaming.
Although he did not intend to let Lan Yue wipe his back, it did not mean that he would not let her wipe his body. If he did not let her do anything and only let her close her eyes and take off his robe, it would seem too easy on her.
He would never force others, especially women, but this did not mean that he was a good person! They were husband and wife. Although they had not consummated their marriage, he did not mind exposing himself in front of her.
Before Lan Yue married into the family, he usually had his personal servant girl to do his bathing and changing. However, it was only limited to bathing and changing clothes. He would not do anything else.
Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue, who was still standing at the same spot with her eyes closed. A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes."Open your eyes!"
"I…didn't I already undress you? Don't you know how to bathe?" Lan Yue felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She did not even know how long she had been standing there with her eyes closed.
"This king wants you to open your eyes!" Xie Yunchen reached out and lifted Lan Yue's chin. Water droplets slid down his hand and onto Lan Yue's hand, causing Lan Yue to shiver.
Lan Yue gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue and said lazily,"If you don't want this king to do anything else, then listen to me!”
He had never been someone who liked to threaten others, but Lan Yue seemed to have broken his habit at this moment. Instead, it made him feel that 'threatening' was not a bad thing.
Lan Yue's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She opened her eyes reluctantly. The moment she opened her eyes, she let out an ear-piercing scream.
" Ah…" She clearly did not expect that Xie Yunchen would actually be standing in front of her naked. She was shocked, and she was completely stunned. She stared at Xie Yunchen without blinking.
Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue and couldn't help but cough."Cough cough, what are you screaming for? Her eyes were staring straight at him. What was she still pretending for?”He threw the cloth aside to Lan Yue and said calmly,"Wipe the water stains off this king's body and change this king's clothes!”
Lan Yue subconsciously took the cloth that Xie Yunchen threw to her before she regained her senses and closed her eyes. Then, like a blind man, she walked towards Xie Yunchen and began to wipe his body.
"Didn't you just look at it? Why did he close his eyes again? Who are you acting so bashful for?" Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue, whose face was flushed beyond recognition.
He liked to see Lan Yue's helpless look, as if she would only submit to him at this moment.
" Xie Yunchen…You…Don't go overboard…" When Lan Yue heard Xie Yunchen's words, she threw the cloth in her hand to the side. She closed her eyes and headed in the opposite direction of Xie Yunchen.
In her memories, the opposite direction of Xie Yunchen should be the direction of the door. She could not tolerate it anymore. Xie Yunchen had gone too far. Even if she had done something wrong in the beginning, he could not do this…He had embarrassed her like this. She was not a fool. Xie Yunchen's motive was undoubtedly to humiliate her.
Even a clay man had some ambition, let alone a living person like her. Did Xie Yunchen really like to see her make a fool of herself? The feud between her and Xie Yunchen was growing.
Xie Yunchen watched as Lan Yue closed her eyes and groped her way to the door. He could not help but smile. He turned around and put on the white robe that had been placed at the side.
There had to be a limit to everything. Lan Yue had clearly reached her limit. If he forced her to do something, Lan Yue would do something terrifying instead.
Xie Yunchen's back was facing Lan Yue as he tidied up his robe. He heard a 'plop' sound. Xie Yunchen subconsciously turned around and looked towards the source of the sound.
Lan Yue had already fallen headfirst into a wooden bucket not far away. At this moment, her legs were exposed outside the wooden bucket and kept swaying as if she was trying to break free from the wooden bucket.
Lan Yue's memory was correct. The opposite direction from Xie Yunchen was indeed the door. However, she had completely forgotten about the large wooden bucket that Xie Yunchen was bathing in. Therefore, she accidentally fell into it when she could not see anything.
Originally, she could still avoid the wooden barrel. As long as she closed her eyes and walked in a straight line, she would definitely not fall into the wooden barrel. However, people who did not know martial arts and had not undergone balance training would lose their balance in the dark. This led to the occurrence of tragedy. Although Lan Yue closed her eyes and wanted to walk in a straight line, she walked out of a straight bend...
Clearly, Lan Yue's appearance was not within Xie Yunchen's expectations. One must know that the wooden bucket could hold Xie Yunchen, who was more than eight feet tall. Lan Yue's head falling down without any preparation was definitely very uncomfortable. If she was not pulled out quickly, she might very well become the first person to drown in her husband's bathwater! It would be very embarrassing if word got out.
Xie Yunchen did not hesitate. He strode to Lan Yue's side and stretched out his hand to pull Lan Yue out of the water.
The moment Lan Yue was pulled out by Xie Yunchen, she squatted on the ground and coughed out water in a very sorry state. Her entire upper body was soaked in water. Her black hair had struggled in the water for a moment because it was soaked in water. At this moment, it was a little messy. Water droplets kept dripping down her hair. A few strands of hair that were scattered were tightly stuck to her face. She looked very sorry.
At this moment, she did not just choke on a few mouthfuls of water. Other than Xie Yunchen's bath water, the water she choked on was also the water she mixed with the various items she had made over the past few days. The taste of this was naturally self-evident.
Xie Yunchen squatted down and stretched out his hand to pat Lan Yue's back to help her breathe. In the places where his palm passed, it seemed like an unintentional action, but without Lan Yue's knowledge, he pressed a few major acupoints that controlled water.
An hour later, Lan Yue regained her senses and slowly stood up.
"Are you satisfied now, Your Highness?" Lan Yue did not even look at Xie Yunchen. Instead, she moved sideways to avoid Xie Yunchen's hand on her back. There was obvious resentment in her voice.
"What is this king satisfied with? You brought this upon yourself!" Xie Yunchen turned around and took out Lan Yue's clothes from the wardrobe at the side. Then, he picked up the cloth at the side and walked towards Lan Yue.
Although he wanted to punish her, he had never thought of punishing her like this. Lan Yue was undoubtedly in a much more sorry state than he had expected, but this did not mean that his punishment for her had ended. He would definitely make her remember this!
He reached out and took off Lan Yue's hair accessory. Then, he held a towel in his hand and dried her hair."Hurry up and dry yourself so you won't catch a cold!”
Although it was summer now, it was also late at night. Moreover, Lan Yue must have been frightened just now. Under such circumstances, she would actually catch a cold easily.
Lan Yue reached out and snatched the cloth from Xie Yunchen's hand. She said angrily,"There's no need for your highness to come, I'm suffering from a cold!”
She still could not understand why she was always the one who felt uncomfortable after all the teasing. She really suspected the conflict between her and Xie Yunchen! Xie Yunchen was her nemesis! She had failed this time, but it did not mean that it would be the same in the future! Just wait! One day, she would make Xie Yunchen have nowhere to cry!
This king hasn't settled the score with you yet, and you're already angry with this king? Do you know how many times this king will divorce you with your current appearance?”Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue's calm voice. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking about at this moment. He reached out and picked up Lan Yue's hair that was dripping with water.
"If you want to stop, then stop talking nonsense!”Lan Yue knew that she was in the wrong and turned her head to the side.
Xie Yunchen looked at Lan Yue deeply and said," Take off your robe. I won't be resting here today. I might be going out for a few days."Write down two more scrolls, and tomorrow this king will send someone to bring those two scrolls to you. If you don't finish copying them, don't even think about taking a step out of here!”
If Xie Yunchen was simply punishing Lan Yue to copy Buddhist scriptures before this, then he was using the excuse of copying Buddhist scriptures to ground Lan Yue here. However, copying Buddhist scriptures sounded much better than being grounded.
"I'm not copying!" Lan Yue was annoyed. He still wanted to copy two more volumes? It would be better to kill her with a sword. These days of copying Buddhist scriptures had almost driven her crazy. She did not want to continue copying.
"Up to you! If you don't want to copy, then don't copy!" Xie Yunchen stood up and did not look at Lan Yue. He turned around and walked out of the room,"This king doesn't mind you staying here for the rest of your life!”
Lan Yue looked at Xie Yunchen who had disappeared and threw the cloth in her hand. Xie Yunchen was threatening her. As long as she wanted to leave this place, she could only obediently copy the four volumes of Buddhist scriptures 81 times.
The next morning, Xie Yun Chen used his inner energy to create a human skin mask after breakfast. In just an instant, he had changed into a completely different appearance.
Just yesterday, he had received news that someone had attacked him in the Imperial Residence. This person was caught on the spot and sent to the Supreme Court. After being tortured, this person claimed that he was sent by the Fifth Prince and Prince Ning. Overnight, all the spearheads were pointed at the Fifth Prince who was trapped in the Imperial Residence.
However, Xie Yun Chen was not a foolish person. He was very clear about what kind of person the fifth brother was. He was already stained with a lot of trouble. At this moment, he would definitely not make a move on a person who was about to die. Someone must have done something to him, and the ultimate goal was to force the fifth brother to rebel.
This clever method of self-recovery would only allow the person hiding in the dark to reveal everything about himself to Xie Yunchen. Foolish people would not be able to achieve great things, but they would unknowingly disrupt his position. This was something that he did not like. If it was not for the fact that that person had a huge family supporting him, he would have long finished him off.
