Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort

Qin Ruan fled all the way and was almost discovered by the people who were searching for her several times. She used all her tricks to escape to Kangcheng, the closest city to Yongjiang Pass.

But just as she entered the guest room of the inn, she was caught by a linen bag that fell from the sky, and then was knocked unconscious by someone with a stick.

Before she fainted, Qin Ruan had only one thought in her mind: it was over. She had been caught by the empress's people. Given the empress's cruel and heartless nature, she was afraid that she would die a miserable death.

When Qin Ruan woke up, she found Su Qingli standing in front of her, which scared her so much that her hair stood on end.

She was afraid of the empress, but she was even more afraid of Su Qingli!

Su Qingli has too many tricks up her sleeve. She always thought she was very smart, but if she wasn't careful, she would fall into Su Qingli's trap and end up being driven to despair by her.

"You... why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for you." Su Qingli said with a smile, "Didn't you come to Yongjiang Pass because you thought I was here?"

Qin Ruan almost cursed out loud. If she had known that Su Qingli was in Yongjiang Pass, she would never have come here. Her original intention was to sneak through and then find a small place where no one knew her and live a simple life.

Unexpectedly, she fell into Su Qingli's hands before she even entered Yongjiang Pass.

"Where are you going?"

"Yindu." Su Qingli said with a smile, "Yanwu's cavalry is ready to break through the walls of Yindu."

"Emperor Yan really cooperated with you!" Although Qin Ruan had guessed it long ago, she was still shocked when she saw it in person. She didn't understand why such a ruthless person like Emperor Yan would help Su Qingli.

"What is your relationship with Emperor Yan?"

Su Qingli looked at Qin Ruan with a smile: "Why don't you tell me why you ran away here?"

Qin Ruan smiled bitterly: "The Empress wants to kill me, so I have to escape."

"When you went back to see the empress, she must have hurt you." Su Qingli asked casually. The army was moving forward, but the carriage Su Qingli was riding in was stable and not bumpy at all.

"how do you know?"

"I also know that the Empress wants to kill you, using the excuse that you poisoned her."

Qin Ruan's face looked like he had seen a ghost: "You...you planted a spy next to me?"

Su Qingli raised her index finger and shook it: "Qin Ruan, have you ever thought about why I shot you with an arrow when you entered the capital?"

Qin Ruan stared at Su Qingli and said through gritted teeth, "To show my power."

Su Qingli chuckled softly: "You underestimated me. I shot you with an arrow so that you could become my messenger. I let you return to Yindu so that you could poison the empress."

"Bullshit!" Qin Ruan cursed, "I can't possibly help you poison!"

"Just because you won't help me poison doesn't mean you don't have poison on you."

Qin Ruan reacted instantly: "You... your arrow is poisoned. You are poisoning me."

Su Qingli smiled and nodded. It was indeed raining on her.

"No, if you really poisoned me, then everyone who came into contact with me would be poisoned. But none of them were poisoned, so why was the Empress poisoned?"

"Think about the difference between the people around you and when the Empress is with you, and you might understand."

Qin Ruan thought carefully: "Blood... The Empress is stained with my blood."

Qin Ruan's face was ashen. Did Su Qingli intend to use her to poison the Empress when they first met? How could someone be so terrifying?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll die on the way and never get to see the Empress?"

"I won't let you die before you meet the Empress." Su Qingli said with interest, "If Qin Wuyang hadn't ruined my plan, you would have returned to Yindu long ago."

Qin Ruan felt cold all over. It turned out that the empress had not wronged her. It was indeed she who poisoned the empress. Although the poison was not deliberately given by her, it was related to her.

"How is the Empress now?"

Su Qingli thought for a moment and said, "She should be covered in corpse spots, emitting an indescribable stench. Then her limbs will gradually become stiff, and she will be unable to walk or take care of herself."

"I heard that your sisters are not easy to get along with. If anything happens to the empress, they will definitely do everything they can to fight for the throne."

Qin Ruan swallowed her saliva. She suddenly realized that the empress should not have provoked Su Qingli. She had already escaped to Tianyuan, so why continue to chase her.

Giving her a way to survive is also giving yourself a way to survive.

But the empress was too scared. She was afraid that Su Qingli would return to Xuan Shang and take away her throne, so she was determined to kill Su Qingli at all costs, which eventually angered her.

"If...if the Empress hadn't sent someone to hunt you down, would you have killed her?"

"If she hadn't been pestering me, I probably wouldn't have moved against Xuanshang Country in the short term. After all, Tianyuan also has many internal conflicts that need to be dealt with. But she insists on trying to kill me again and again, so I have no choice but to get rid of her first."

Su Qingli opened the window a crack and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside: "Take a good look at these views. Soon Xuanshang Kingdom will no longer exist. Its territory will become the territory of Yanwu and Tianyuan."
