Un sueño de transmigración - Capítulo 49
"Why? Fourth Brother." I squinted, my voice low and hoarse, a smile playing on my lips.
"Sister Xiyue is so alluring!" He suddenly reached out and hugged my waist, then spun around and placed me on the soft couch behind him. He then turned and clapped his hands twice in front of the antique shelf.
The antique shelf creaked and turned again, and this time a person who looked exactly like me came out. Not only did we look alike in face and build, but we even had the same hairstyle!
"Fourth Brother's plan is brilliant," I praised with a smile. It turns out that everyone thought I was just a commoner princess who was favored by the Azure King because of my beauty and talent.
However, given the shrewdness of the Prince of Tianqing, and the secret between me and him that no outsider knows, how could someone who looks exactly like me possibly impersonate me? How could I not applaud their plan? If I didn't let them follow it, wouldn't I be betraying the Prince of Tianqing's special expression of "concern" at noon today, and causing Consort Shu and Tian Xinrong to miss their chance to make a mistake?
"Go out, but be careful not to let Father Emperor notice anything amiss!" Tian Xinrong waved to the fake Xiyue, who then obeyed and knocked three times on the door. The door opened from the outside and then closed again, leaving only Tian Xinrong and me in the room.
"What does Fourth Brother plan to do with Xiyue?" I thought to myself, "This is bad." If I was just pretending to be dizzy, I seem to be really starting to feel dizzy now. Looking at Tian Xinrong, she doesn't seem to be showing any signs of dizziness yet.
"I really can't bear to part with Sister Xiyue." He turned around and sat down on the soft couch, stroking my face with one hand, his eyes burning with intense passion.
I suppressed the nausea rising in my heart, feigned a dreamy look in my eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Fourth Brother, you clearly smelled the aphrodisiac, so why do you seem like nothing happened?"
"There's no antidote for this love potion. Fourth Brother is willing to suffer this for you." A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, and he leaned down and pressed himself against me.
As I continued to smile seductively, I swiftly drew my dagger and lunged at Tian Xinrong. Damn it, my head felt increasingly dizzy, and my body felt weaker and weaker. Didn't the Heavenly King, who was only thinking of using me as bait, anticipate Tian Xinrong's tactic, or did he simply not care about my life or death? And Xi Lan, he should know something was amiss at tonight's banquet, or perhaps the matter the Heavenly King had him investigate yesterday was related to tonight's events.
The dagger that was thrust out was deflected by Tian Xinrong with one hand. He stood up abruptly, standing two meters in front of the soft couch, and looked down at his left hand. Blood was slowly seeping from the cuff of his left hand.
It seems I acted too soon. If his aphrodisiac had taken effect before mine, it wouldn't have been just a simple cut. But if I don't act now while I still have some strength, I'll have no chance at all. I gripped the dagger tightly and sat up.
He looked at me with a cold smile, but his eyes began to burn with a wild, intense heat; the aphrodisiac on him was probably starting to take effect. I was getting restless; waves of heat washed over me, and my hand gripping the dagger felt weak.
"Why must you endure such hardship, Sister Xiyue? Fourth Brother would be more than happy to help." His smile held a cruel glint. He wasn't concerned about the cut on his left hand, merely watching me from a distance. He was waiting for the moment I succumbed to the effects of the aphrodisiac and begged him to give himself to him, slowly savoring my current wretchedness and enjoying the thrill of revenge. The grudge between us wouldn't disappear because of my changed status; on the contrary, these incidents would only deepen the enmity between us.
My thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to concentrate. I never imagined that this legendary aphrodisiac could actually turn a saintly woman into a slut. I can't just stand by and wait for someone to come and save me!
"I'd rather die than be humiliated by you!" With that, I reached out, pointed the dagger at myself, and stabbed it fiercely into my chest.
Tian Xinrong was visibly startled, then enraged. She took two steps forward, grabbed my hair, and slapped me hard across the face. The aphrodisiac had finally taken effect, not only affecting Tian Xinrong's mobility but also significantly reducing the force of the slap.
I smiled at him, but he stared at me with wide eyes in disbelief, then let go of my hand, took a step back, and looked down at himself.
I lay sprawled on the soft couch, feeling utterly exhausted. I turned to look at Tian Xinrong. I had never felt so resentful of my lack of martial arts skills as I did now, but Tian Xinrong seemed to be the same. My only bargaining chip was the silk armor Qinglin had given me, which I wore close to my body. The dagger had only pierced my clothes and stopped at the silk armor. Tian Xinrong had clearly not expected me to have this trick up my sleeve. He only regretted that I had chosen to commit suicide, but he never expected that I would turn around and plunge the dagger into his chest.
But oh no, why did I stab the right side? And judging from how much of the dagger hilt is sticking out, it doesn't seem like I stabbed deep enough.
"You're indeed harder to tame than I imagined," he said, his face flushed and his voice hoarse. He glanced at me, who was sprawled on the soft couch, and said, "You won't listen to reason, so I'll grant your wish!"
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands twice in front of the antique shelf, and this time the middle-aged man with the scar came out.
I sighed inwardly. It seemed my chances of survival were slim. Since they had already found a substitute, why would they leave me alive? It was just that Tian Xinrong was unwilling to let me die so easily and wanted to play some games with me. But now I didn't even seem to have the strength to stand, let alone run away.
The scarred man swiftly pressed my pressure points, then dragged me into the secret room, casually tossed me to the ground, and turned to bandage Tian Xinrong, who had entered afterward.
The secret room was quite large, and on the other side, a winding passage led to a certain part of the palace. Tian Xinrong sat on one of the chairs, letting the scarred man undress him, apply medicine, and bandage him. I lay sprawled on the ground, unable to move, my heart feeling like a thousand ants were crawling on it, unbearably itchy, my body burning hot. I clenched my teeth, pressing myself against the cold ground, which temporarily brought me back to my senses.
The wound wasn't deep, and it was bandaged quickly. Tian Xinrong sat in the chair, his clothes still open. The secret room wasn't too cold, but it wasn't warm enough to leave one's chest bare. It seemed the aphrodisiac on him had taken full effect. A delicate fragrance seemed to waft over, but I couldn't turn my head to look closely. Actually, there was no need to rush, because soon I saw a woman pass by me. Her long hair was loose, and she was tightly wrapped in a fox fur coat. Her features were beautiful, and her expression was charming. She was a beauty, and one I had never seen before.

The strings of a zither, each note a suppressed thought (Part Four)
Tian Xinrong, presumably due to his injury and under the influence of the aphrodisiac, used only his uninjured hand to vigorously knead the beauty's breasts. His clothes had already slipped down to his waist, and the beauty's thighs were tightly wrapped around Tian Xinrong's waist. She moaned softly as she used her hands to undo Tian Xinrong's underpants. I was disgusted to death by this scene, but my body betrayed my soul. I watched the passionate scene in front of me with a flushed face and a pounding heart. If I hadn't been acupunctured, I probably would have already crawled over to her.
The beauty lifted her buttocks, groped around for a moment, and then slowly straddled Tian Xinrong. Both of them let out a groan, and the beauty began to move up and down on her own. Tian Xinrong sat back in the chair, his body still, but one hand continued to roam over the beauty's breasts. His breathing grew heavier and heavier, and as the beauty's movements quickened, he suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice, "Release her acupoints!"
I finally turned my gaze to Tian Xinrong, and was shocked to find that although he was making love with the beauty on top of him, his eyes never left me for a moment. The scarred man, who had been standing next to me, leaned down and released the pressure points on my body with a flick of his finger, his face expressionless.
Only then did I truly understand how unbearable it was to be under the influence of the sleeping potion. As soon as my limbs regained their mobility, I involuntarily wanted to crawl towards Tian Xinrong's position. The beautiful woman's smooth, white, and curvaceous body was turned to the side. I could see Tian Xinrong's bare upper body; his clothes had slipped down to his waist, and the beautiful woman's thighs were tightly wrapped around his waist. The sight was utterly disgusting, yet my body betrayed my soul, and I blushed and my heart pounded as I wanted to crawl over. I clenched my fists desperately until my fingernails dug into my palms. The excruciating pain finally brought me back to some senses.
"Take off her clothes." Tian Xinrong stared straight at me, his hands constantly caressing the breasts of the person on top of him.
No, no, is there really no escaping this? I'd rather die than be violated like this by Tian Xinrong. I'm not someone who can let go easily. I can't just be raped and then comfort myself by saying it was just a dog bite. But if I lose my virginity here, it will break me more completely than anything else or any misfortune. If I lose an arm or a leg, I can still regain my confidence in life. But after being raped by Tian Xinrong, I don't know if I can even stand up again, or how I can face the people around me.
The scarred man, Liu Yin, came over and started tearing at my clothes. I was already completely powerless, and no matter how much I hid and ran, it was all in vain. I didn't have a single weapon to defend myself. As I watched my clothes being torn away piece by piece, Liu Yin continued to violently tear at the only clothes I had left. Fear finally overwhelmed me completely. I cried and shouted, "No, no, big brother, save me! Xi Lan, save me!"
The fox has no idea I'm suffering here; he can't possibly come to save me. But Xilan, Xilan, have you discovered Tian Xinrong and their conspiracy? Do you know I'm here? Can you find your way here to save me?
"Tencel Soft Armor!" the scarred man exclaimed softly, and stopped fighting for a moment.
My clothes were torn off piece by piece by the scarred man, and the soft armor I was wearing underneath could no longer be hidden and was exposed. The soft armor was a gift from Qinglin. Inside the soft armor was the Phoenix Orchid Jade Pendant that the fox had given me. For safety, I hung the jade pendant around my neck and protected it inside the soft armor.
For the first time, a sense of despair welled up in my heart.
"Who exactly are you? How do you have such a treasure on you?" Tian Xinrong, whether out of curiosity about my identity or because the aphrodisiac on her body had worn off after the exercise, actually put on her clothes and walked towards me.
"Fourth Brother, it's me, Xiyue." I glanced at him and said with a sneer, but I was a little suspicious in my heart: Could there be some secret behind the soft armor that the fly gave me? God, if that's the case, I might as well be struck dead by lightning. This not-so-bright brain of mine can't possibly sort out all this nonsense!
He bent down, grabbed my chin tightly with one hand, and said angrily, "If you don't tell the truth now, it won't do you any good."
It's so good. Although the pain is so intense that I can't help but cry, at least it allows me to temporarily forget the restlessness in my body.
"When Fourth Brother was looking for a substitute for Xiyue, didn't you thoroughly investigate Xiyue's background? Fourth Brother, you were too reckless. When Father Emperor recognized Xiyue as his goddaughter, he could have thoroughly investigated Xiyue's identity and background!" The wound on his lower lip seemed to have stopped bleeding, but he still felt waves of pain as he spoke.
"Liu Yin, I'll give her to you. Let's see how long she can keep up this stubbornness!" Tian Xinrong stood up and sat back in his chair. The beauty beside him tried to snuggle up to him, but he pushed her away with one hand.
As I watched all this, I suddenly burst into laughter. Although I was weak and my voice was hoarse, it unsurprisingly attracted Tian Xinrong's attention. The scarred man didn't dare to make a move for a moment: "This lowly commoner isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes, yet he dares to lay a finger on me? Tian Xinrong, you know better than I what kind of formidable figure your father is. Do you really think that your father accepted me, a commoner from a foreign land, as his daughter and bestowed upon me the title of princess simply because of my dancing skills?"
As I stalled for time, I clenched my fists and pinched my palms with my fingernails to stay conscious.
