Silent Lover (The Silent Concubine) - Chap 94
“But in this world, death is the easiest thing. How could I let you off so easily, Princess Consort?”
The Princess Consort bent down, looking at Shen Yu faintly.
“Don’t blame me. Blame it on the fact that the Prince is too fond of you. Look at how much I’ve done to make the Prince disgusted with you. He likes your soft flesh, so I gave you some poison. I watched your body deteriorate day by day. And since the Prince himself doesn’t care about your well-being, you didn’t have many years left to live anyway. But I couldn’t wait. For every day you spent in the palace, I had to endure another day of pain and resentment…”
Shen Yu took a deep breath. Perhaps he was selfish too, never considering how his existence brought so much misfortune to the Princess Consort. It was only natural for her to hate him.
“I couldn’t wait any longer! So I took the initiative to ask the Prince to take you along to Mount Xujia for the hunt. My brother secretly ordered the guards to disguise themselves as The Hun warriors, just to have a chance to be alone with you. He even specifically instructed me not to harm you… I just don’t understand! Why would my brother protect you?! He has never hit me before, but because of you, he hit me for the first time… I know pushing you off the cliff was the right thing to do! You are a disaster that seduces men!”
The Hun warriors were sent by the Emperor?
Shen Yu opened his mouth, realizing that when Emperor Ye went to Shaohua Courtyard that night, it wasn’t just by chance, but intentional?
But why did Emperor Ye want to sow discord between him and Prince Xuan? It was because of Emperor Ye’s appearance that Prince Xuan repeatedly misunderstood him.
“Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned.” The Princess Consort laughed bitterly. “It would have been so much better if you, this wretched person, had died. But you were lucky enough to survive the fall off the cliff, and both the Prince and my brother went crazy searching for you! What’s so good about you?! I’ve never seen the Prince care so much about a person before. He stayed at the bottom of the cliff all night!”
Shen Yu’s numb heart suddenly throbbed painfully.
Did Prince Xuan really search for me all night? When Shen Yu and Emperor Ye spent the night in the cave, they came out to see Prince Xuan’s cold expression and immediately concluded that Shen Yu and Emperor Ye were having an affair.
Shen Yu had always felt wronged by Prince Xuan’s misunderstanding, but he never thought that Prince Xuan, braving the storm and snow to search for him, would see him spending the night with Emperor Ye and misunderstand him even more.
Shen Yu’s heart ached. If it weren’t for these twists of fate, would Prince Xuan and he still be deeply in love? Would they not have reached this point of separation?
“Why are you crying? Who are you trying to deceive with this pitiful look?” The Princess Consort said viciously. “Luckily, my brother helped me, step by step, making the Prince disgusted and disappointed with you! Are you wondering why the jade pendant given to you by the Prince ended up in the hands of Sun Laoliu?”
There was no need for further explanation. When Sun Laoliu took out the jade pendant, Shen Yu immediately thought of it. On the night at the bottom of the cliff, Emperor Ye took his jade pendant and then orchestrated everything. The Princess Consort just had to execute the plan…
Shen Yu couldn’t distinguish for a moment whether Emperor Ye was good or bad.
“Today, I can finally vent my anger!”
The Princess Consort’s face was full of hatred as she stepped on Shen Yu’s face.
Shen Yu’s face was pressed against the ground, scraping off the skin, blood mixed with dust making him look miserable and dirty…
“You must be proud of your face, right? And your body? You enjoy being ridden and toyed with by men, don’t you? Today, I, the Princess Consort, will fulfill your wishes and let you have a good time! Come in!”
Five or six burly men with exposed chests and wearing only loincloths walked in from outside the dark room. Each of them had a rough face and was barely dressed…
Shen Yu’s eyes widened with fear, and the Princess Consort laughed heartily at his frightened expression.
“This is the secret chamber of the Qinhuai Tower. Even if you were able to shout for help, no one would hear you! These guys are all hired thugs who deflower new girls for the prostitutes of the Qinhuai Tower. They specialize in dealing with those who don’t behave… You, just close your eyes and enjoy…”
Shen Yu trembled violently, struggling to get up. The ropes binding him cut into his flesh, and the more he struggled, the more blurry his vision became with blood…
The men loosened their loincloths and surrounded Shen Yu…
“Mingming… Please… spare me… I beg you…”
Shen Yu struggled desperately, but his attempts to call for help were futile. A sharp pain gripped his abdomen, and he felt nauseous…
He wanted to live, to live cleanly and honorably. His mother was still waiting for him…
“We brothers have been at the Qinhuai Tower for so many years and have never seen such beauty. We are truly fortunate…”
The Princess Consort said coldly, “Don’t rush. One by one, take turns to serve our Hidden Consort!”
Shen Yu was lifted onto the table, and rough hands groped him, tearing his clothes to shreds in moments…
Save me…
Shen Yu’s hands and feet were held down, and two streams of despairing tears flowed down his face. He wished he could just faint and avoid the torment worse than death…
Several strong men licked and bit him, their foul odor making him nauseous to the extreme.
My lord… Why won’t you come and save me…
Please, just kill me…
Shen Yu’s vision turned blood-red, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes…
Xiongnu – The Huns
