Chapter 509: The Legitimate Son

At the same time, in the same palace, people of the same status have completely opposite fates.

It was late at night, and it was a time for loving couples to be affectionate.

However, in Xuanyuan Yan's room, there were waves of suppressed screams and groans. The maids stood outside the door with their heads down as usual, enduring the bites of mosquitoes, and the familiar voices echoed in their ears. The scene that had been played out in the room every night in the past few months had become a habit for them, and they even felt numb.

In the Wei Palace, they were just maids who had no choice. They couldn't even guarantee their own life and death. Who dared to care about the master's affairs?

Fortunately, they were ordinary in appearance and could not catch the eyes of their own masters. Otherwise, they would have been a wisp of wronged souls in the underworld. In recent years, many young maids around them were dragged out in their prime. They had seen a lot, and although they were numb, they were still afraid.

So sometimes, it's not a bad thing to be ugly.

At least when serving the devil, you can live a few more years.

"Come here!" Xuanyuan Yan's cold voice came from the room, "Serve me a bath."

The maids shuddered when they heard the voice, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and went into the house.

Some people prepared clothes, some people cleaned up the mess in the room, and some people went to get hot water.

But no one dared to look at the bed in the inner room.

Fang Lanyi, who was naked, lay on the bed like a rag doll, her body covered with mottled bruises and swelling marks, and there was still some dried blood at the corners of her cracked mouth. Her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her eyes stared at the roof without any reaction for a long time.

The inner room was filled with a faint bloody and chaotic atmosphere.

People who didn't know would think that this was another brothel girl or a maid who had been murdered. Who would have thought that in a noble palace, the original wife would be treated like this?

Xuanyuan Yan was half leaning on the brocade couch in the inner room, wearing only a loose piece of clothing, leaning on the couch with his eyes closed, looking boneless, his face gloomy, his eyebrows and eyes showing some abnormal paleness due to excessive indulgence, coupled with years of tyranny, his body was full of a lingering and frightening sinister aura.

The maids cleaned the room quietly, not daring to make a sound.

Xuanyuan Yan was actually in a good mood at this time, after all, he had just vented his anger once, and the tyranny in his body had been temporarily satisfied. He was just a little tired and wanted to rest for a while.

Usually at this time, he would not toss and turn after bathing and changing clothes, and he could sleep until dawn if he was too tired, but even so, the maids still did not dare to take any risks, and did their own things carefully, just hoping to serve Xuanyuan Yan smoothly and not cause any more trouble.

But tonight was destined to have some twists and turns.

When the maid went to the kitchen to get hot water, the Princess of Wei, who had received the news, knew that her son had finished his work and was ready to rest. Normally, she would not come to disturb him, but tonight, she learned that Chu Hongyi had just given birth to a big fat boy. She couldn't sit still for a while, so she ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to stew chicken soup for an hour or so, and she personally delivered it to her son's yard.

"This is the ginseng chicken soup that I specially ordered the kitchen to stew for you. Drink some to replenish your body." Princess of Wei looked at her son's pale face with distress, "You haven't rested much recently, right? How many times have I told you to take it easy and don't tire yourself out, why don't you listen?"

Her tone sounded really kind and gentle. Those who didn't know thought that Xuanyuan Yan was very hardworking and had done many great things for the country and the people. However, who would have thought that such hardship was just because he had just tortured his wife to death in bed and treated his wife as a maid to vent?

The maid with delicate features knelt on the ground, she was afraid in her heart, but she dared not show anything on her face. She respectfully and cautiously fed Xuanyuan Yan a spoonful of chicken soup.

Xuanyuan Yan, who didn't want to move at all, just opened his mouth, and played out the noble and domineering nature to the fullest.

Hearing his mother's words at this time, he opened his eyes and said in a cold voice: "If it weren't for this bitch, would I have to stay in jail for so long? Keeping her alive is already kind to her."

Hearing this, the Princess of Wei glanced at Fang Lanyi lying on the bed with disgust. Seeing that she didn't move at all, like a corpse, her expression became colder: "Other daughters-in-law in the palace are giving birth to children for their husbands, and have branches and leaves. My daughter-in-law in the Prince of Wei's palace is very noble. Not to mention giving birth to a son or a daughter, she dares to have this attitude towards her mother-in-law. It really makes me look at her in a new light."

As soon as these words came out, the maids in the room changed their faces and knelt down in unison.

Isn't it their fault that the young lady doesn't know the rules?

If the princess gets angry, no one will have a good life.

Fang Lanyi's consciousness was fuzzy at this time. She could hear someone talking in her ear and could tell who was talking, but she had no strength left. She was in a daze like a walking corpse, and even moving her fingers was extremely difficult.

So the words of Princess Wei really had no effect on her.

"It's getting late, mother, go back and rest." Xuanyuan Yan drank some chicken soup, raised his hand and waved away the maid, "My son should also take a bath and rest. Let her go to pay her respects to you early tomorrow morning, and you can set rules for her."

Princess Wei retracted her gaze, hummed lightly, and finally couldn't help but said, "There is good news just from Prince Jing's Mansion."

Good news?

Xuanyuan Yan thought of Xuanyuan Qi, who was in high spirits recently, and his brows became more gloomy: "What good news?"

"Chu Hongyi gave birth to a son." Princess Wei frowned, and then said to Xuanyuan Yan earnestly, "Yan'er, you have been having some snacks recently. No matter how much you hate Fang Lanyi, she is also your official wife, and she is the only one who gave birth to her son." Your son is your legitimate son. Give birth to your legitimate son as soon as possible while your imperial grandfather is still alive, and go to him to ask for a title. Even if you lose the title of heir apparent, as long as your imperial grandfather still cherishes his old feelings, he will not treat your child badly. ”

Xuanyuan Yan was silent for a moment: "The emperor's grandfather is old, and he is always away from home. Mother, do you think that bitch with impure blood in the palace will make it easier for me?"

Princess Wei's face changed slightly, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you really can't do it, go cry to the emperor's grandfather and ask for an amulet so that she can't touch you in the future."

But the prerequisite is that there must be a legitimate son first.

A baby in swaddling clothes can always make people feel soft. If the child looks like Yan'er when she was a child, it will arouse the pity and love of the old lady. If the time comes to pretend to be pitiful and show weakness at the right time, you won't believe it. He is not soft-hearted.

Xuanyuan Yan closed his eyes, thinking of the past glory and current abjection, thinking of the inexplicable conspiracy before and the subsequent imprisonment, the resentment and dissatisfaction buried in his heart grew crazily. If possible, he would like to kill those two people right away. The body was broken into pieces.
