Chapter 82 Force (2)
“It’s my…husband,” Princess Yatai seemed to be very talkative. With a faint smile on her face, she said, “He disliked me for not being able to give him a descendant. So, he went to find another woman to give birth to his child. No one would be able to withstand such humiliation. That coward actually killed his child and begged me for forgiveness. Ay, why was I blind in the beginning?”
Chen Hui swallowed her saliva. She didn’t know princess Yatai’s husband…ah, no, ex-husband. How could he have such a big gut? He actually still dared to cheat with such a female warrior as wife. Did he truly think this female warrior who could carry her over the shoulders was made of water? Sure enough, men are animals that can’t control the lower body…Speaking of which, lord is so reliable. He doesn’t have a lower body!
“Where is he now?” Chen Hui was a bit curious. Perhaps, it was because of her husband that princess Yatai became so unrestrained. Seeing his ex-wife like this and he could only watch, he must be going crazy from pain, right?
“Dead,” Princess Yatai smiled indifferently, “The blood couldn’t be stopped. Maybe I accidentally cut too deeply.”
“…” Chen Hui was completely speechless. This princess Yatai is indeed too amazing, making people prostrate oneself in admiration.
“The story is finished. You should change. The prayer ceremony is about to begin.” Princess Yatai stood up and ended the conversation unilaterally. She looked once at Chen Hui, urging her to hurry up.
Chen Hui said embarrassingly, “Master Yatai, Great Liang people are different from the Xi people after all…I really can’t wear this set of clothes.”
She came from modern times. This set of clothes was actually acceptable to her, but she was now a citizen from Great Liang. Of course, she had to follow the local customs when living in Great Liang. Or else, what should she do if she was drowned in a wicker basket? Although, she didn’t know whether they have wicker baskets here.
Drowning someone in a wicker basket was used to drown mostly women who had affairs and who are deemed not proper.“Alright, think about it,” Princess Yatai smiled, “I will go out and do something first. You must give me a result when I come back. Either you change or be like the other prisoners.
“What happened…to the other prisoner?” Chen Hui swallowed.
A meaningful smile appeared on princess Yatai’s face. She walked to the entrance of the tent, opened the curtain and pointed in a certain direction to show Chen Hui, “See those wooden stakes?”
Of course, Chen Hui saw it. Those straight wooden stakes reminded her of the execution by fire that she saw in movies and tv series.
“Will…they be burned to death? Chen Hui was so afraid that her tone changed.
Princess Yatai looked at Chen Hui strangely, “Your Great Liang people still say that we are barbarians. How are you better? Burning to death is too cruel. We just want to tie them up. See, they have already started.
Chen Hui looked over following princess Yatai’s words. As expected, the captured soldiers were tied one by one to the pillars.
“Now, it only depended on how long they can last,” Princess Yatai said, “If they can last more than three days, they can survive.”
She looked at Chen Hui smilingly. She didn’t say anything more and walked out of the tent.
Chen Hui held the set of clothes and wanted to cry without tears.
She didn’t want to be tied there and be publicly exposed. She didn’t want to suffer thirst and hunger for three days even more. She had had her fill of that feeling when she just time-traveled. Moreover, being tied there with her weight for three days was not only the problem of suffering hunger. She would die!
Chen Hui spread out the clothes and sighed. After a while, she took off her robe as quickly as possible and changed into this set of clothes. Fortunately, this set was slightly more conservative than the one worn by princess Yatai. It wasn’t the kind of covering the chest and abdomen but at least the shoulder area was still there. She didn’t remove the cloth she used to wrap her chest. The top was a bit big for her. If her chest wrap was removed, the inside could be seen from the side. Then, it would be really exposing herself. The only good thing was that the clothes were too big for her. As long as she didn’t move too much, the top could cover her entire upper body. The skirt was under the knees but both arms were exposed which felt a bit chilly.
After changing into the clothes, Chen Hui braided her hair and let it fall over her chest. As soon as she had fixed her braids, the curtains opened. Princess Yatai walked in. She nodded in satisfaction seeing Chen Hui’s adornment at this moment and handed over a pair of leather boots which was exactly Chen Hui’s size.
Chen Hui thanked her and put on the boots. These leather boots were to her knee and covered her exposed leg. Like this, there wasn’t much skin on her leg that was exposed.
“So beautiful,” Princess Yatai looked at Chen Hui with satisfaction and smiled, “You shouldn’t be Great Liang’s citizens. You should be a citizen of the Xi tribe.”
Chen Hui gave a shy smile.
Princess Yatai said, “I originally thought that you would prefer to die than surrender. Didn’t you people of Great Liang care about chastity very much?”
“…I happen to be the kind that doesn’t care about it,” Chen Hui said.
“Oh, I have forgotten. Your virginity has long been taken by that deputy general Chu,” Princess Yatai smiled, “It’s the best that you can be optimistic about it. You are worthy of being the daughter of a merchant.”
Chen Hui just responded with a smile. Fortunately, she really didn’t care that much and fortunately, princess Yatai has high military force, otherwise, she would be beaten to death if she talked like princess Yatai!
“Let’s go then,” Princess Yatai led Chen Hui out of the tent. Looking at the darkening sky outside and the torches being lit one by one, she smiled confidently.
She turned her head to look at Chen Hui. The light cast light and shadow on her face, causing Chen Hui unable to see her expression at this moment.
“Be like a Xi woman, otherwise, my people won’t accept you,” Princess Yatai said with a smile in her voice as if she was just talking about a small problem.
However, Chen Hui’s nerves tensed and she even stopped breathing.
Princess Yatai forced her to change clothes. Instead of saying that princess Yatai was making things difficult for her, it would be better to say that princess Yatai wanted to see how great her determination was to surrender herself to the Xi tribe. It was not as if princess Yatai really believed her after she answered all of princess Yatai’s questions. The test she has to face is probably not over yet.
What does it mean “be like a Xi woman”? What if there will be a hideous mess at the prayer ceremony? What should she do then? For example, doing X things in a group…she chose to die!
