Chapter 43
From this day forward, Yuan Qiong is dead, and such a person no longer exists in this world.
These were Lin Qiang's words to Yuan Liu Niang, and also the main matters that Yuan Liu Niang and Lao Si needed to handle in the capital.
When Yuan Qiong, who was in a coma, woke up, she felt extremely dizzy.
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to be met with an unfamiliar car roof. Her gaze instantly turned cold.
Where am I?!
Why do I feel so weak all over?!
She opened her mouth, trying to speak, but found herself unable to utter a sound. The events of the past few days flashed through her mind, and she immediately identified the culprit: the big, black-bearded man!
"Sister Yao, you're awake?!" At this moment, Tan Xiaoque smiled and lifted the curtain to enter the carriage: "Hehe~ The Boss has gone to take care of some business and will be back soon, Sister Yao, please wait patiently~"
She knelt down opposite Yuan Qiong, her slender body leaning forward, her smiling cat-like eyes scrutinizing Yuan Qiong from head to toe.
"Sister Yao has become even more beautiful in the years we haven't seen each other. No wonder the Boss can't forget you. I'm so envious!"
Yuan Qiong calmed her anger at being kidnapped, glanced at her without saying anything, closed her eyes and leaned back in the car.
"Sister Yao, are you sure you don't want to talk to Little Sparrow? Little Sparrow can help you get rid of this bone-softening powder~" she said with a hint of temptation, "Not only that, Little Sparrow can also let Sister Yao leave before the Boss returns~"
Let her go?
Yuan Qiong didn't believe this brat's words!
Having grown up in a powerful and wealthy family, she certainly had the ability to judge people. This girl was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Better to stay still than to make a move. Instead of causing trouble, she'd rather wait for the bearded man to return. She wanted to see what this bandit was up to!
Tan Xiaoque stared at her for a while, and seeing that Wang Yao was indeed not swayed by her, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Then she smiled and said, "Sister Yao, the Boss even set fire to Zhaoyang Palace to save you this time. Aren't you moved?"
What? !
How dare that big, dark-bearded man?!
As soon as Tan Xiaoque finished speaking, Yuan Qiong suddenly opened her eyes, her heart filled with rage, but she couldn't say anything because she couldn't speak.
Tan Xiaoque smiled contentedly and continued to sow discord: "Not only that, the Boss also instructed Sister Yuan to properly arrange the Empress's funeral with Prince Cheng. Sister Yao, aren't you actually the Empress? Sigh~ The Boss is so selfish, he didn't consider your feelings at all."
Even knowing Tan Xiaoque harbored ill intentions, Yuan Qiong couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger, her eyes reddening. If that were the case, wouldn't all her previous efforts have been in vain?!
How could these bandits dare to do such a thing!
In the instant she was distracted, Tan Xiaoque seized the opportunity and gently shook the bell on her wrist, releasing a colorless and odorless gas.
She approached Yuan Qiong with a grin: "If the chief really cared about you, why would he kidnap you without your consent? Actually, he doesn't like you at all..."
"Sister Yao, come with Xiao Que~ Xiao Que will take you back to the capital and send you back to the palace... From now on, you will still be the Empress, the mother of the nation, and after Yuwen Jing's life ends, you will be the Empress Dowager..."
"Ding-a-ling~ Ding-a-ling~" The increasingly loud bell rang, accompanied by the inhalation of the medicine. Yuan Qiong's slender fox eyes gradually became unfocused, and her mind became even more dazed.
At that moment, Feng Zhi, who was outside the carriage, heard the sound of bells first. His heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly dismounted and flew to the front of the carriage.
"parking!"
He jumped onto the carriage frame, quickly lifted the curtain, and saw Yuan Qiong slump down, eyes closed...
"Tan Xiaoque!" He grabbed her arm angrily. "What did you do?!"
"I didn't do anything," Tan Xiaoque said innocently.
Before Feng Zhi could react, she had barely finished speaking when a handful of white powder was thrown at him: "Hehe~ Brother Feng~ You fell for my trick~"
"you!"
Feng was shocked and furious. He quickly took a few steps back, took out a red porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill and put it in his mouth. He staggered a few steps forward, and the others stepped forward one after another.
"Wind Envoy, what's wrong?"
"Surround the carriage and don't let Tan Xiaoque bring anyone out!"
"promise!"
This little troublemaker, she can't seem to get away without causing him trouble, can she?!
Feng Zhi paused for a moment until the antidote took effect before stepping forward again. By then, Tan Xiaoque had already gotten out of the carriage and was sitting on the carriage shaft, smiling at him.
"Brother Feng, how much antidote did my sister give you? Guess, was it me who poisoned you faster, or you who cured you faster?"
Don't give me that!
Without a shred of pity, Feng pulled her down and dragged her back to the carriage behind.
"Has the boss been too calm for too long, making you too bold?! Don't be fooled by how much he spoils you. Don't you know who's in that carriage?! If you dare to make another move, you'll be in for it when the boss gets back!"
Tan Xiaoque gave a soft snort, but didn't say anything in rebuttal. Of course she knew, but she was just annoyed!
“I will tell the boss the truth about this. We all know what kind of temper the boss has. Even if you poison me and take the people in the carriage, what good will come of it for you? You will die a much worse death than me!”
"You should think this through carefully!"
After finishing his sentence, Feng Zhi mounted his horse without looking back and waved his hand, ordering, "Continue on your way!"
"promise."
Three days later, when Yuan Qiong woke up again, she was in an inn.
She held her groggy forehead in her hand, somewhat disoriented.
She heard the sound of rushing water coming from the outer room. Still half asleep, she climbed out of bed and walked barefoot toward the screen erected in the outer room, wanting to see what the sound was.
As a result, she was stunned the moment she stepped over the screen.
His slender fox eyes widened instantly, and his already dizzy mind went completely blank.
"ah!!!"
A scream pierced the sky, startling Lin Qiang who hadn't reacted in time.
He pulled an outer garment over his body, then swiftly leaped forward and covered her mouth, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Stop calling me, it's me."
Feng Zhi from next door immediately rushed out of the house and happened to run into Xiao Er who was running over.
After dismissing the waiter, he knocked on the door: "Boss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Lin Qiang responded.
"Fengzhi, go and bring me a bowl of porridge."
The wind outside the door immediately replied, "Yes."
The effects of the drug were still lingering, and Yuan Qiong's dazed mind managed to regain a sliver of clarity. Although she wasn't as quick to react as usual, she immediately shook off Lin Qiang and glared at him with a dark expression.
She immediately noticed his wet outer shirt clinging to his body, revealing clearly defined muscles. Remembering that this bandit was completely naked underneath, she blushed and looked away.
"shameless!"
The only swear word she knew was those three words. After saying them, she turned around and ran into the inner room, burying herself completely under the covers.
"Hahaha....."
Lin Qiang laughed, slowly dried himself off, put on his plain undergarment, and dried his wet hair with a towel before walking into the inner room.
He came to the bedside and tugged at her quilt: "Girl, stop struggling with the quilt, get out of bed."
"Knock knock!" A knocking sound rang out: "Boss, the porridge is here."
Lin Qiang draped the cloth over the shelf, opened the door, and took the porridge: "Have someone go to the street to buy some sweet and sticky snacks."
"promise."
After closing the door, Lin Qiang carried the porridge into the inner room. Yuan Qiong was still curled up in a ball, wrapped tightly in the quilt.
The impact of seeing a member of the opposite sex's body for the first time is too great, especially since it's completely exposed!
She couldn't quite recover for a while and just wanted to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, staying snuggled under the covers.
Lin Qiang put the porridge aside and quickly pulled the little girl, whose whole body was as red as an Argentine shrimp, out of the blanket.
"Girl, it's time to rinse your mouth and eat."
"I'm not hungry."
Ugh, I have no appetite at all!!!
"Aren't you hungry?" Lin Qiang picked up his bowl of porridge and teased, "I'm the one being stared at, and I don't care about being taken advantage of. What's there to be ashamed of, you who's getting the better deal?"
"That's just sophistry!" Yuan Qiong muttered sullenly. "I don't want to eat it."
"If you keep saying that, I'll force-feed you."
"I'm not hungry, I won't eat."
You think you can just say you don't want to eat? Go ahead and try forcing me to eat!
Let's give it a try!
Lin Qiang sat down on the edge of the bed, and with a wave of his hand, his burly figure of about 1.9 meters easily pulled the petite Yuan Qiong onto his lap, holding her in his arms without any pressure.
"You're the one who told me to drink this."
Do you think I trained my martial arts skills for nothing? Or that I grew this tall for nothing? You think I can't handle a little brat like you?
"You dare!"
Yuan Qiong's face burned like fire as she struggled desperately, but to no avail.
"Let me go!"
"Should you drink it yourself or should I feed you?"
"I won't drink it!"
Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family is notoriously stubborn. The more you push her, the more stubborn she becomes, and she will never compromise!
Lin Qiang blinked and grinned.
"Okay, I'll feed him then."
At this point, Yuan Qiong was no longer Yuwen Jing's empress, and Lin Qiang no longer needed to be careful for fear of making things difficult for her. Without any reservations, he was naturally not as polite as before.
He was essentially a bandit leader.
"Be good, listen to me."
He casually shoved a finger into her mouth, and Yuan Qiong's eyes widened in surprise. She immediately bit down hard, but he didn't seem to care and lifted his finger up as if playing with a kitten, causing her face to lift slightly as well.
He chuckled softly, "Girl, didn't you always say I was flirting with you? Actually, that wasn't flirting, this is."
With a forceful push, Lin Qiang pressed her against the gap in the bed frame, his fingers rising higher and higher, forcing her chin to rise as well. With his other hand, he scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to her lips, slowly feeding her little by little.
Yuan Qiong couldn't help but swallow, her slender fox eyes slightly reddening, her soft little tongue occasionally touching his fingers, causing his gaze to darken slightly.
Regret! Yuan Qiong was filled with remorse! But Lin Qiang didn't give her a chance to back out at all, and only let go after feeding her a whole bowl of millet porridge.
"Is it good?" He pulled his finger out of her mouth, put it in his own, and said in a low, husky voice, "I think it tastes very good."
Yuan Qiong's mind went blank when she was openly flirted with for the first time.
"Shameless!!!"
The moment she was released, she went to punch someone with red eyes, but Lin Qiang dodged her.
He grinned and said, "After being called shameless by you so many times, I can't just bear this reputation for nothing, can I?"
Yuan Qiong was speechless. She sat on the edge of the bed and glared at him fiercely, as if she would bite him to death if he came any closer.
"......"
Lin Qiang wanted to laugh, but then he thought that if he laughed, the little girl might go berserk, so he held it back.
"You told me to feed him, so I did as you said. Be good, don't be angry. Or, should I let you hit him a few more times?"
"Alright!" Yuan Qiong smiled coldly, a slightly eerie smile on his face. "Come here!"
"......"
past?
He's thick-skinned and tough, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to let the little girl vent her anger on him.
Lin Qiang stammered and dawdled to the bedside, but before he could even touch anyone, Yuan Qiong suddenly pulled out a short arrow used as a concealed weapon from behind her back.
"I! Will! Castrate! You!"
Bring me back to Zhaoyang Palace to be a eunuch!!!
