Lin Wanqing walked to the bedside and looked at Xiao Yanchu, who had fallen into a coma. His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face.
A high, straight nose, pale, thin lips slightly pursed, and a few strands of hair casually hanging down beside her cheeks.
Even in his sleep, his cool and heroic aura remained undiminished, captivating Lin Wanqing.
This kind of man should be hers.
"Xiao Yanchu, I've come to save you. I'll show you who the most suitable woman for you is." After saying this, Lin Wanqing took out a pill and put it into Xiao Yanchu's mouth.
A moment later, Xiao Yanchu slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Highness, you're awake?" Lin Wanqing sat by the bedside, a smile she considered her most gentle ever on her face.
"What are you doing here? Where is Hu Qing?" Xiao Yanchu's voice was weak.
"Hu Qing has gone to brew the medicine, Your Highness. Let me take care of you," Lin Wanqing said softly.
"I dare not trouble you, cough cough~, I dare not trouble the Queen, cough cough cough~" Xiao Yanchu suddenly coughed violently.
Lin Wanqing reached out to pat his chest, but Xiao Yanchu brushed her hand away, saying, "I said I wouldn't dare trouble the Queen, cough cough~"
Anger welled up in Lin Wanqing's eyes.
She was, after all, a queen and a goddess, and the people of Bei Li treated her with utmost respect. Only Xiao Yanchu dared to disobey her repeatedly.
Lin Wanqing looked at Xiao Yanchu, who was still coughing, and lost all patience. "Xiao Yanchu, do you know that the only person who can save your life now is me? As long as you obediently submit to me, I will definitely protect your life."
Xiao Yanchu suddenly looked at Lin Wanqing, "What did you say?!"
"Xiao Yanchu, you've been poisoned. The only antidote is in my hands. Su Ruojin is in dire straits herself; I'm the only one who can save you!"
Xiao Yanchu, refusing to believe it, circulated his internal energy, trying to force out the poison from his body, but ended up spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Only then did he realize that he had indeed been poisoned.
"Lin Wanqing, what do you want to do?" Xiao Yanchu struggled to sit up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing stood up and chuckled, "I've already said before, as long as you obediently listen to me, I can save your life."
Xiao Yanchu finally realized what was happening and stared intently at Lin Wanqing. "Did you poison me? When did you poison me?"
Lin Wanqing could have directly activated the Heart-Connecting Gu to make Xiao Yanchu obedient, but she felt that this would not be challenging enough.
She wanted Xiao Yanchu to stay by her side willingly.
When was the poison administered?
Hehe, of course Wei Xuebin had it placed in the plate of the freshest and most tender roasted lamb.
Lin Wanqing did not answer Xiao Yanchu's question, but took out a medicine bottle from her bosom. "This is your antidote. If I destroy this antidote, you will only have one way out: death."
"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Yanchu gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his hands clenched tightly as if enduring physical pain.
"Xiao Yanchu, if you do not take this antidote, you will die from ruptured internal organs in an hour."
"I would rather die than submit! Lin Wanqing, did you also poison Ajin?" Xiao Yanchu asked.
"So what if it is? If it weren't for Su Ruojin, I would have been the Regent's Consort long ago. She stole everything from me, forcing me to come to this barbaric land of Bei Li, to suffer endless torment, and to marry someone I don't love."
Now that things have come to this, I might as well tell you that Su Ruojin was afflicted with a Gu poison back in Jingqiang. Gu worms can devour the brain of the fetus in a pregnant woman's womb, and no one can cure it.
Not only that, she is now covered in blood, and anyone who touches her blood will be poisoned and die! Lin Jiaqing no longer hid anything.
Now that Xiao Yanchu and the others are in the Northern Li army camp, both he and Su Ruojin have been poisoned. Even the people who serve Su Ruojin die from touching her blood, so Lin Wanqing naturally has nothing to fear.
As for whether Xiao Yanchu would have secret guards, Lin Wanqing was not afraid.
So what if they have secret guards? No matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than so many Northern Li border troops?
If she hadn't been absolutely certain, she wouldn't have dared to stand in front of Xiao Yanchu like this.
Xiao Yanchu's anger blazed in his eyes, which turned bloodshot. How dare Lin Wanqing harm A Jin and the child in her womb like this?
