Taming Tyrants I

Arc 3: Prince Daddy (91)

The border was rowdy for a celebration. Zhao was finally defeated. Ying Huai was silent while his subordinates enjoyed the banquet. His eyes were half-lidded like always, making everyone not know what he was thinking. He thought of his wife, ah. What could she be doing right now? Is she missing him? Was she bullied? Does she need his help? Ying Huai inwardly groaned. He cant stop thinking of her. The reason he was determined to defeat the Zhao armies is that he wants to see her sooner. She was able to take the throne off his mind and replace it with herself. What had she done?

He stood up to retreat to his residence. Ying Huai stopped once he saw a familiar girl in the tent. She was busy arranging the messy documents on his desk, her back facing him. But from that moment, he knew it was her. Hong Cha sensed his presence and faced him. She nervously smiled at Ying Huai.

"W-wang ye, qie thought of visiting you. Is this bad?" it was forbidden for women to enter a military camp, even to a battlefield. It is a law and the man responsible for it will be punished. However, she didn't consider it because Ying Huai is in danger.

Without a word, Ying Huai pulled her in an embrace. Hong Cha didn't expect this. "Wang fei, I missed you." Ying Huai thought this was a dream come true. She is here with him. No longer miles apart. Hong Cha reluctantly embraced him back.

"Wang ye, congratulations for defending the border. Are you perhaps tired? I already prepared a warm bath inside. Your clothes are ready too. Wang ye can have a proper rest tonight. Let qie take care of the rest, en?" she lightly smiled. Ying Huai nodded and skimmed through her lips first. Once he left, she arranged his bed. Hong Cha took out essential oils she bought along the way here.

Ying Huai returned to see her lighting up scented candles. She sweetly smiled to him before bringing him to his bed. He cant tell what she is up to.

"Wang ye, I know a bit of trick to relax you. Leave it to qie." she made him lie down with his face down. Ying Huai can only do as she says. Hong Cha started massaging his back which made Ying Huai satisfied. She would take a look at his reaction from time to time in order to make sure she is doing it right. He seemed to be enjoying it. "Does wang ye feel good?"

"Mn." he hummed, immersed from her care. Ying Huai lifted his eyelids and gazed nowhere. "How did you get here? Were you alone?"

"Ehm..." she hesitated to answer. "Qie heard Eldest Brother-in-Law will come here so qie decided to travel with him. Sister Mi Yan also came. Qie knows she wanted to see wang ye. But if wang ye could, can Sister Mi Yan enter the harem?"

Her question brought silence to Ying Huai. "No." he shortly answered. Mi Yan likes to talk bad about Hong Cha so he wouldn't want to let a scheming girl enter his harem and harm his main wife.

With his answer, she confirmed she can almost destroy the plot. "System Wu, now." Hong Cha thought. Her system beeped and Ying Huai frowned. She stopped massaging his back and brought his robe. "Gu Jiaoyue, just on time."

"Vile." he snorted and rudely grabbed the robe from her. Gu Jiaoyue wore it whilst asking, "You suddenly woke me up! What's the matter?"

"Can you do one thing?" one last push and Ying Huai is hers. Her mission will be finished. Gu Jiaoyue knew what she wanted.

The next day, Hong Cha woke up to feel a warm hand tracing her face. She smiled with eyes closed and grabbed the hand, pressing it on her cheek.

"Wang ye, so early? Admiring your wife?" she looked at Ying Huai who grinned in return. Hong Cha lowered her hand and embraced him form his waist. She rubbed her face lightly on his chest. "Wang ye, you look like you love qie. But qie knows its just qie's imagination. We were just married fixedly."

"No, Cha'er." Ying Huai called her intimately. "Will you believe it if I say I love you?"

Hong Cha paused. She searched through his gaze as if puzzled. He wasn't lying. Ying Huai does love her.

[Mission completed, Host.]

Like she expected. Since Ying Hua longed for his wife, she made Gu Jiaoyue implant a fake memory about last night again. The fake memory contained their most loving night. As if Ying Huai does love her that he was ever so gentle.

Mi Yan has been waiting for this moment to come. Ying Huai stepped out of the tent with a cheerful mood.

"Third Prince!" she called back. Ying Huai frowned to see her but thought of being patient with her. "Third Prince, I have something important to say. Regarding my sister and the first prince."

"Them? What about them?" his brows knitted. Mi Yan made sure no one is around.

"Third Prince, I saw them. Sister Mi Cha and Crown Prince Wenxiang. At night, something happened between them when we rested in a city nearby. Third Prince, there is an affair going on with them. I saw it with my own eyes." Mi Yan worriedly said. Ying Huai pursed his lips.

"Princess, show me a proof before I believe you." he snorted and left her. Mi Yan was astounded but she quickly grabbed his hand.

"I am telling the truth! I can bet my life on it! Mi Cha have a relationship with the Crown Prince." she frantically said.

"One more word and I will have you sent back to Ji forcefully!" Ying Huai threatened. Mi Yan feared and hesitantly let him go. With Ying Huai leaving, she felt another cold presence behind her.

"Are you even her sister?" Ying Wenxiang asked with a cold tone. "No worries. I will tell Ying Huai myself that I am committing adultery with his wife."

"You! Are you not afraid of the consequences?" she cant believe Ying Wenxiang doesn't have a care. He walked past her and paused for a moment.

"As long as she is mine, I am not afraid." he shortly said. Ying Wenxiang is only afraid to let her go.
