Chapter 402 Prince VS Little Brother 2
Chapter 402 Prince VS Little Brother 2
But the emperor never expected that just a month ago, a secret that had been buried for many years happened in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The Marquise gave birth prematurely that year, and it happened that the attack occurred while she was passing through the countryside. She had no choice but to give birth in the same room with another woman who was expecting in the village.
In a panic, the two families took the wrong children, and the fate of the two children was changed by accident.
By the time the truth came to light, both children were already seventeen years old.
The one who grew up in the countryside was Xiao Yubai. The roughness of rural life made him lack some of the elegance and dignity of a young man from a noble family. His words and deeds seemed "unpresentable" in the eyes of the Yong'an Marquis and his wife.
Just as the imperial edict arrived, the couple, motivated by selfish motives, did not announce the fact that they had found their biological son. Instead, they went with the flow and pushed Xiao Yubai out to respond to the edict.
After all, the Prince Regent has been in a coma for a long time, and it is still uncertain whether he is dead or alive. Moreover, marrying him would mean the heavy responsibility of having an heir. Which girl or boy from an ordinary good family would be willing to do such a thing?
Even though the Regent was famous and others coveted his power and admired his charm, they all backed off at this moment.
Xiao Yubai married into the palace in a naive manner.
When the emperor found out that the person marrying into the prince's palace was not the one he had originally intended, he wanted to directly raid the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. After all, defying the imperial power was no joke.
At this time, the national teacher said that everything is destined.
Since the imperial teacher calculated that the third son of the Marquis's Mansion should be involved, the emperor granted the marriage certificate without any hesitation.
However, the emperor did not know that the imperial teacher had accepted money from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, which was why he came to the palace to mention this matter.
When Xiao Yubai first came to the palace, the servants saw that he was there to bring good luck, so they lost their respect in their words and acted in a negligent manner.
The nanny sent by the palace was even more strict. She completely ignored Xiao Yubai's lack of experience and taught him rigidly every day how to serve his husband and how to conceive a child as soon as possible. She also set a rule that he had to sleep with the emperor every two or three days.
Fu Nanzhan was lying on the bed, unable to move. He was already conscious, but he seemed to be trapped in his body, unable to move or even open his eyelids.
I could only be forced to listen to those unbearable teachings, feeling full of humiliation.
As the regent, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
After suffering for more than half a year, Fu Nanzhan finally regained control of his body. The first thing he did when he woke up was to vent his anger.
He demoted Xiao Yubai to a concubine, beating and scolding her on a daily basis and humiliating her at will.
After getting drunk one time, his rationality completely collapsed. He ignored Xiao Yubai's resistance and struggle and forcibly took possession of her.
Afterwards, he turned the tables and accused Xiao Yubai of seducing him. In a rage, he gave him to the palace guards to abuse him at will.
Xiao Yubai was filled with sorrow, but unable to break free.
He could only hit his head against the pillar before being insulted, but Fu Nanzhan did not let him go. Seeing that the imperial physician said the man was still alive, he asked the guards to continue.
Xiao Yubai was unconscious and had no idea that he had been defiled.
Xiao Yubai had been serving Fu Nanzhan for more than half a year, but there was still no sign of pregnancy. Fu Nanzhan became more and more certain that Xiao Yubai was "infertile", so she asked the emperor to issue an imperial decree to send Xiao Yubai to the distant Dada Kingdom for marriage.
King Dada was brutal, and Xiao Yubai refused to obey, but was forced even more brutally in return.
A glaring streak of fallen blood suddenly appeared among her torn clothes. Xiao Yubai suddenly woke up from her dream and realized that she was pregnant.
Filled with sorrow, he vaguely thought that the child was Fu Nanzhan's. For a moment, he felt completely hopeless and even thought that it would be better to lose the child so that he wouldn't have to suffer in painful memories for the rest of his life.
King Dada was furious when he saw this, feeling that he had been fooled. He was so angry that he treated Xiao Yubai as a plaything and gave him rewards to the soldiers in the army to vent his anger.
The frail Xiao Yubai could not withstand such torture and died within a few days.
King Dada was still not satisfied, so he mobilized a large number of troops and brazenly attacked the border city. He was so cruel that he hung Xiao Yubai's body on the city wall and whipped the corpse in public.
As for Fu Nanzhan, after Xiao Yubai was sent to marry, he married many wives and concubines in succession, including Xiao Yuyu, the third son of the Marquis' Mansion who was married off by the emperor, and now the fourth son of the Marquis' Mansion.
The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion planned to marry a fake woman into the family. If they had a boy, they would be rich and prosperous in the future. However, one year after the marriage, they were still childless.
The imperial physician diagnosed Fu Nanzhan as being unable to have children due to poisoning. The successive blows made his temperament more erratic and violent. The hidden dangers of past poisoning also gradually emerged, and his health deteriorated.
At the same time, the Dada Kingdom secretly colluded with the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Nanzhao Kingdom, and took advantage of the opportunity when Dayong was in civil strife and its national strength was declining, and joined forces to attack the border.
The Yong Dynasty, attacked from all sides, struggled to hold on but was unable to recover. In the end, the city was broken and the country was destroyed, the prosperity came to an end, and only the broken walls and ruins told of the glory and tragedy of the past.
"The host's mission is to protect the country and make the target of the mission become a king that everyone envy."
"System, why can't I move?" Gu Zhan frowned. As soon as he came to his senses, he was shocked to find that he seemed to be "sealed" in place, and every muscle in his body was out of control.
"Host, I have just reminded you that if you don't set off now, you will miss the critical time node. But you just took a break..." The system's voice was somewhat helpless, and it quickly fell silent halfway through its words.
