After the battle report was sent back to the capital, King Xiang looked at the report in his hand. The two words "great victory" on it stung his eyes. He stood up and swept everything on the table to the ground, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.
He didn't expect Tuoba Chen to be so useless. He only captured one city during the time when Yuwen Ran was missing. After Yuwen Ran came back, he couldn't even win the battle. What a waste.
Qin Ranran was standing outside the door and heard the noise. She suddenly shuddered and subconsciously put down her hand that was about to push the door. She wanted to go in but was afraid of angering King Xiang and suffering the consequences.
Just as Qin Ranran was about to turn around and leave, King Xiang happened to push open the door of the study. He was stunned at first, but when he saw that it was Qin Ranran, he didn't care about being gentle with her. He grabbed Qin Ranran's hand and dragged her into the study.
Qin Ranran was caught off guard and dragged into the study by King Xiang. The soup she was holding for King Xiang fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Qin Ranran exclaimed: "Prince——"
The King ignored her and suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Qin Ranran's waist and pulled her in front of him. Qin Ranran's face changed color, and before she could react, she was pushed down on the table by the King, pressing her against the corner of the table. The King was so strong that he didn't care how hard he pushed Qin Ranran down, and Qin Ranran's waist hit the corner of the table hard.
Qin Ranran realized that the King of Xiang was not the same as before, and tried to break free from the King of Xiang's restraints: "Your Highness, what are you doing?!"
The other person's tall body pressed down, and his warm breath sprayed on her fair neck. The next second, King Xiang's hand pinched Qin Ranran's neck fiercely. Qin Ranran turned her head away with difficulty, took a few breaths of air with difficulty, and said intermittently: "Your Highness... I am... Ranran..."
Just as Qin Ranran's breathing became increasingly difficult and her consciousness weakened, she thought that she would be strangled to death by King Xiang. King Xiang suddenly loosened his hand. Qin Ranran's hands and feet became weak and she could not support her body at all. The moment King Xiang loosened his hand, she slid down the corner of the table and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
Before Qin Ranran could recover, King Xiang pulled her up from the ground and pressed her down on the table again. Qin Ranran struggled in vain and could only accept her fate, close her eyes and wait for King Xiang's next move.
Prince Xiang lifted up Qin Ranran's dress and slammed into her, then began to move vigorously. Qin Ranran was pinned against the corner of the table by Prince Xiang again and again. After a while, large bruises appeared on her back.
When King Xiang saw the unyielding look on Qin Ranran's face, he thought of Murong Yue, which further aroused King Xiang's sadistic nature.
After the sexual intercourse, Qin Ranran lay motionless on the table, with her hair covering most of her face, as if she was dead.
King Xiang calmed down his anger and walked out. After tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the study without even looking at Qin Ranran who was lying half-dead on the table.
Qin Ranran thought that the King of Xiang she had seen that time was the last time, and that once he came to his senses and saw who she was, he would stop treating her like that. Unexpectedly, that was the beginning. Ever since that incident, Qin Ranran had been tortured half to death by the King of Xiang for days on end.
After Qin Ranran inquired with the guards who often appeared in front of King Xiang, she found out that it was the victory news from the front line that made King Xiang unhappy.
A few days ago, she went to Qin Ruoruo's clinic and happened to see someone in the clinic holding a baby girl who was less than one year old. If she remembered correctly, that was the daughter of Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue, the eldest princess - Xiao Yuntun.
After asking the people in the clinic, she found out that the child was from Qin Ruoruo's friend who had to go on a long trip for an urgent matter. She was afraid that it would be dangerous to take the child on the road, so she left the child in Qin Ruoruo's clinic.
Qin Ranran was a famous talented woman in the capital after all. After hearing what that person said, she realized that Qin Ruoruo's only good friend was the current Empress Gu Yanyue, apart from the long-dead Murong Yue. Qin Ranran quickly pieced together in her mind that Gu Yanyue had gone to war with Yuwen Ran, and was worried about leaving little Yuntun in the palace, so she gave him to Qin Ruoruo to take care of.
Since Prince Xiang was worried about the front-line affairs, if she could tie Qin Ruoruo and Xiao Yuntun together and bring them to Prince Xiang's mansion, and then Prince Xiang could take the opportunity to send out a message saying that Xiao Yuntun had disappeared in the capital, then when Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue, who were on the front line, knew about it, they would definitely be distracted and would have no intention of fighting.
Qin Ranran's mother had committed murder in Duke Qin's mansion long ago, but Qin Ruoruo was lucky enough to meet Gu Yanyue, otherwise she would have been lying on the ground now.
Gu Yanyue is not in the capital at the moment. Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue are going to the front line. And the last time she went to the palace to ask the Queen Mother about Gu Yanyue's whereabouts, the Queen Mother just said that Gu Yanyue was confined to the bedroom by Yuwen Ran.
Gu Yanyue went to the front line secretly, so Yuwen Ran thought that Gu Yanyue and Xiao Yuntun would stay in the palace well. The palace has always been heavily guarded, so no thieves would dare to break in. Then Yuwen Ran would definitely take away all the secret guards, so that Qin Ruoruo would have no one to protect her.
Qin Ranran took advantage of the time when Prince Xiang was in court to return to Duke Qin's Mansion. She asked Shen about where to hire a killer. She took out her dowry from her private vault and asked Shen to successfully hire a peerless killer to kidnap Qin Ruoruo and Xiao Yuntun.
The killer and Qin Ranran agreed to make a deal at noon tomorrow, at which time the money would be exchanged for the goods.
After Qin Ranran returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion, she was in a very good mood throughout the day. Even when Prince Xiang came to torture her at night, she no longer had the resistance she had before. She thought that as long as the killer successfully kidnapped Qin Ruoruo and Xiao Yuntun tomorrow, her days of fear every day would be over.
She didn't believe that after she had made such great contributions, King Xiang would still treat her like he had in the past few days.
In the evening, when Qin Ruoruo closed the clinic and planned to take Xiao Yuntun back to her residence, she suddenly realized that someone was following her all the way.
Qin Ruoruo immediately took Xiao Wonton and turned into the alley of Zhongjie Street, intending to use the winding alleys of Zhongjie Street to get rid of the person following her.
After walking in the alley for a while, Qin Ruoruo felt that the person behind her was getting closer and closer. So she walked faster with Xiao Yuntun in her arms. If something happened to her, it would be fine. But if something happened to Xiao Yuntun, she didn't know how to explain it to Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran who were still far away in the Western Regions.
Just when Qin Ruoruo felt that the person following her was less than a foot away from her, a strong arm suddenly appeared, blocked Qin Ruoruo's slender waist, and brought her behind him.
