Chapter 277 Psychological Breakdown
Wang Wenzhou casually pulled out a piece of paper, looked down at it, and said with a smile, "Let me read it. This is a secret letter written by Qian Shisheng, the Junior Chamberlain, to Huang Taiji."
Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong, greetings. The Ming Emperor is utterly incompetent, to the point that the people are suffering terribly. I have decided to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, and therefore I will inform you of the details of the secret matters recently discussed by the court…”
"Slander!" Qian Shisheng cursed, "You brat, how dare you slander this official like this!"
The officials looked at each other in disbelief. Wang Wenzhou had fabricated the story out of thin air. How dare he slander and defame others in front of important court officials? It was simply outrageous!
Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and said with a smile, "Lord Qian, don't be afraid! I'm just giving an example. If you attend court on time tomorrow, nothing will happen! But if anyone dares to be absent from court, I will definitely have evidence of their collusion with the Tartars. When that happens, I will confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Hmph!" Qian Shisheng said angrily, "I caught a cold today and will be seriously ill tomorrow. I will be unable to attend court. I want to see what you dare to do to me."
Wen Tiren and the others exchanged glances with Qian Shisheng. Old Qian is good, that's how it should be. Don't worry, we're here for you!
Finally, someone stood up to confront Wang Wenzhou head-on. Several old foxes cast encouraging glances their way, wanting to see if Wang Wenzhou was truly lawless and had any bottom line.
Wang Wenzhou sneered, "Lord Qian, if you dare to die, I dare to bury you! Just you wait! Colleagues, court adjourned!"
After Wang Wenzhou finished speaking, he took Chen Yuanyuan's arm and went to the Imperial Study to find Zhu Youjian.
On the way, Chen Yuanyuan grabbed Wang Wenzhou's arm and pleaded, "Please, I need to relieve myself."
Wang Wenzhou frowned and said seriously, "Yuanyuan, I'm very busy right now. I'll accompany you to the toilet after I finish talking with His Majesty."
"Please!" Chen Yuanyuan felt like crying. Why was Wang Wenzhou, this madman, torturing her like this?
Wang Wenzhou ignored Chen Yuanyuan's pleas. He wanted to make her wet her pants in front of Emperor Chongzhen, partly to torment her because she only had eyes for him, and partly to see if he could drive her to a breakdown, thus strengthening Chongzhen's confidence in him. After all, Chongzhen feared that tormenting the officials would alienate them, and he would then be tormented by them in return.
Inside the Imperial Study, Zhu Youjian looked deeply troubled. Although he wasn't present, eunuchs would occasionally come to report on the situation. Listening to the eunuchs' accounts, the ministers, driven to desperation by Wang Wenzhou, all wet their pants.
Zhu Youjian was in a state of mixed emotions. On the one hand, he hoped that Wang Wenzhou could quickly win over the officials, since all the high-ranking officials in the court had to attend court, and if they were busy all day, the six ministries would be without anyone in charge to handle their official duties, which was really unacceptable. On the other hand, Zhu Youjian was also afraid that Wang Wenzhou would not be able to win over the officials, and if that happened, not only would he, as the emperor, lose face, but he might also lose Wang Wenzhou's life.
Wang Chengen came to report: "Your Majesty, Wang Wenzhou and Lord Wang have arrived."
“King Xuan of Zhou has come to pay his respects,” Zhu Youjian said hastily.
Wang Wenzhou walked in with Chen Yuanyuan in his arms and a smile on his face. He didn't kneel down and said casually, "Brother Zhu, what's wrong? You don't look too good!"
Chen Yuanyuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This commoner, Chen Yuanyuan, greets Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
Before Zhu Youjian could even tell them to rise, Wang Wenzhou pulled Chen Yuanyuan up and said with a smile, "Yuanyuan, in the future, when there are no outsiders present, you don't need to kowtow to Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu and I are good buddies. You are my wife, so you are his sister-in-law. We are family, so there's no need for so much formality."
Although Zhu Youjian was somewhat displeased, he did not want to offend Wang Wenzhou, so he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Wang Wenzhou is right. There is no need for formalities. Please rise."
"How is the situation today?" Zhu Youjian asked.
Wang Wenzhou pulled Chen Yuanyuan to sit opposite Zhu Youjian and said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, this is too much. I've been busy all day and my mouth is dry. Won't you even offer me a cup of tea?"
Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. Wang Wenzhou was really shameless, not treating him like the emperor at all. But despite this, Zhu Youjian was not angry. He quickly ordered, "Serve tea quickly."
"This old servant obeys the decree." Wang Chengen hurriedly went to prepare tea. At this moment, he felt that Wang Wenzhou's future life had two possibilities: either he would receive constant imperial favor and rise to the highest position in the court, or he would be hated by the emperor for his lawless behavior and bring about a murder.
Wang Wenzhou took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Brother Zhu's tea is excellent. Yuanyuan, please have a taste."
Chen Yuanyuan picked up her teacup and took a sip. She really didn't dare to drink any more water; she was so bloated and uncomfortable.
"This is a tribute item, West Lake Longjing tea," Zhu Youjian said with a smile.
"Yuanyuan, finish your drink quickly. After you finish, let Brother Zhu give you a cup of good tea," Wang Wenzhou urged hurriedly.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't want to drink it. She put the teacup on the table and gave Wang Wenzhou a resentful look.
Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly. "Yuanyuan is being disobedient, so I have no choice but to take action!"
Wang Wenzhou reached his hand inside Chen Yuanyuan's clothes, and Chen Yuanyuan immediately surrendered, quickly picking up her teacup and drinking it down in one gulp.
Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Quickly, bring a few more cups of tea to our Yuanyuan. This tea is just too delicious!"
Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Wenzhou suspiciously. Did Wang Wenzhou intend to force Miss Chen to wet her pants? What was his intention?
Wang Wenzhou leaned close to Zhu Youjian and whispered, “Brother Zhu, it’s normal for a child to wet his pants. But for an adult, wetting one’s pants is an extremely shameful thing. So, even if a person really wants to urinate, but can’t find a convenient place, he can only hold it in. When physiological needs reach a certain level, a person’s willpower can no longer control those needs.”
"Look at Yuanyuan, today I want to make Yuanyuan wet her pants in front of you," Wang Wenzhou said with a wicked grin, pointing at Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan looked pained, biting her lip tightly, her head bowed low, avoiding eye contact.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "When a person makes a fool of themselves, especially in public, they may have a mental breakdown. At this time, they will accept many demands that they could not accept before."
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly. Wang Wenzhou wanted Chen Yuanyuan to serve as a demonstration to illustrate his theory of psychological breakdown. Poor Miss Chen, being with that bastard Wang Wenzhou was truly a terrible misfortune.
Chen Yuanyuan frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and instinctively clutched her abdomen.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?" Wang Wenzhou asked, feigning concern. "My hands are hot, let me warm your stomach for you."
After saying that, Wang Wenzhou placed his hand directly on Chen Yuanyuan's stomach.
Chen Yuanyuan was both ashamed and furious. She loved Zhu Youjian and longed to become an imperial concubine. To be humiliated by another man in front of the man she loved, and to make matters worse, Wang Wenzhou, that madman, forced her to drink so much water, all to embarrass her in front of the man she loved.
Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. Such a lovely girl, yet Wang Wenzhou had ruined her. But he couldn't say anything, because he understood that Wang Wenzhou wanted him to see what a person was like after a mental breakdown.
