Su Zhao performed a spell to check Yuan Gang's abdomen. He didn't find the Bitter Pill. It seemed that the pill had been refined. Su Zhao was furious. She grabbed Qin Mian's neck and pinned her against the wall. Obviously, she wanted to kill Yuan Gang.
She knew very well what the Bitter Pill was. When the poison took effect, the pain was unbearable.
Although there was an antidote, the so-called antidote could only relieve the poison for three months. There was no antidote that could completely eradicate the poison. Once taken, it meant that the person would never be free from the control of the Bitter Pill.
She didn't expect that the man whom she had just confessed her love to fall into Qin Mian's hands so soon after they had sex!
She didn't think that Qin Mian would feed Yuan Gang such a vicious thing!
She didn't feel much when she fed this thing to others. This time, she was really worried. She knew what kind of pain Yuan Gang would suffer in the future. How was she going to explain it to Yuan Gang?
"Tell me that it's not true!" Su Zhao demanded sternly. She still had a glimmer of hope.
Qin Mian, whose face was red from being choked, pointed at her hand, indicating that she couldn't speak.
Su Zhao let go of her with a murderous look on her face.
"Ahem!" Qin Mian coughed slightly. She had also held onto a glimmer of hope that Su Zhao would give up. In the end, Su Zhao actually attacked her because of Yuan Gang. She understood that her boss had truly fallen for this man. She said with slight disappointment, "Boss, ask yourself. How have I treated you all these years? No matter if it's in terms of seniority or qualifications, the position of Incense Master should be mine. The higher-ups also wanted it to be me. It was Mister Bai who wanted me to give it to you, and I agreed without hesitation. I've always followed Mister Bai's instructions and did my best to take care of you. We've worked together for so many years, and you actually attacked me for an outsider? "
Su Zhao's mouth twitched. She had to admit that Qin Mian's care for her all these years made her speechless. However, some things couldn't be compared like this. She asked, "Didn't I tell you not to interfere with things that you shouldn't interfere with? No matter who the commander's position belongs to, you don't care about the subordinates in the organization. How dare you disobey my strict orders? "
Qin Mian argued, "I'm doing this for your own good. If something happens to you, I won't be able to answer to Mr. Bai!"
Su Zhao: "If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can appeal to the higher-ups. Who allowed you to use the Bitter Spirit Pill without permission? Don't you know that this thing can't be used recklessly? Don't you know that anyone who wants to use this thing has to get permission from the person in charge? Did I agree? Who allowed you to make decisions on your own? "
"Appeal to the higher-ups? Commander, do you know what you have done? He found out about your relationship with the king of the west yard. You knowingly broke the rules and ruined the higher-ups' plan. Do you think the higher-ups will let him go or you go? "Qin Mian pointed at the couple and asked.
Su Zhao's expression was unsightly. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you give him medicine or not?"
Qin Mian said bitterly, "Commander, I'm doing this to save you! If this matter is not remedied in time, no one will be able to protect you! Think about it carefully. He has the Huyan family behind him. It is said that General Huyan Wuhen admires him very much and has always wanted to recruit him into the Valiant Cavalry Army. You gave him medicine, but the higher-ups explained that it was to place him beside Huyan Wuhen. With such a reason, and with Mister Bai's help, nothing will go wrong! "
"Commander, think about it again. If he really likes you, you don't have to care about this. Do you think you will let him suffer for a long time? Do you think we won't give him the antidote? As long as he is willing to treat you sincerely, it doesn't matter if he takes the medicine or not. He can live like a normal person! Commander, I am also helping you. If you really like him, as long as you can answer to the higher-ups, you won't have to worry anymore. You can really be with him. "
Hearing that they could really be together, Su Zhao bit her lips.
"Commander, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that he won't be able to accept this reality after he wakes up and will have complaints against you. Don't worry, he fell into my hands the moment he came out of your room. He will understand that this was not your idea. Just pretend that you don't know anything about this. As long as you don't let outsiders know about your relationship, you can interact with him in private. I will arrange everything else. I will be the bad guy and I will help you arrange everything properly. You will get what you want, and there will be no problems. I promised Mr. Bai that I will take good care of you and will not mess around. Otherwise, Mr. Bai will not let me off … "
The capital of Qi was shrouded in darkness. The five riders on the grasslands were chasing the setting sun. The horizon was bright red, vast and beautiful!
Neigh! With a neigh, smoke and dust surged. The fine horse lost its footing and rolled away. Niu Youdao flew up from the back of the flipped horse.
The other four riders stopped their mounts one after another.
Niu Youdao landed on the ground with his sword in front of him. He looked back in the direction of the capital of Qi and stared at it for a long time.
The dust brought by the horse's tumble was blown away by the wind. Niu Youdao's clothes fluttered in the wind. He stood upright in the wind, his long shadow cast by the setting sun. He looked in the direction of the capital with a solemn gaze.
It was not a good sign for a horse to lose its footing. It made him feel inexplicably uneasy. He looked in the direction of the capital.
The four riders that had rushed over turned back. The travel-worn Guan Fangyi jumped off her horse and said, "I can't go on anymore. The horses can't take it anymore. We have to stop and rest!"
Niu Youdao looked back at the horse that was struggling to get up. It was obvious that its legs were weak. He then looked at the other horses that were panting heavily. The journey had been too long. They did not meet any herdsmen along the way and did not change mounts. They were indeed exhausted. If they continued to run, they would all die!
"Let's rest!" Niu Youdao pointed to a hill that was facing away from the wind …
Yuan Gang woke up in excruciating pain.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the cold ground. He did not have time to notice anything else. His momentary clarity was immediately swallowed by the bone-tearing pain.
The indescribable pain was as if he was being cut by a thousand knives, as if he was being fried in a pan of oil. It was as if there were countless insects biting his body. It was as if even his soul was being tormented by fire.
Yuan Gang rolled on the ground with a changing expression. He held his head with both hands, and from time to time, he would punch the ground with his fists or hit his head, groaning in pain.
The clothes on his body were soon torn. He could see a person in front of him. It was Qin Mian. Qin Mian looked down at him.
Due to the pain, Qin Mian saw five or six figures in his eyes.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed at the air. He staggered to his feet and punched at Qin Mian.
His hands and legs were weak. How could he hit anyone? Qin Mian easily dodged it. He watched as Yuan Gang hit the wall and rolled on the ground.
Seeing that Yuan Gang did not howl in pain and could even fight back, Qin Mian could not help but click her tongue. "What a good man. It's as if he's made of steel. Alright, I want to see how long you can last before you beg for mercy!"
However, someone outside was not going to let it go. Knock knock! Someone heard the commotion in the room and hammered on the door.
Qin Mian looked back and ignored it.
Knock knock! The door was hammered a few more times.
Qin Mian was helpless. If this continued, the person outside would come out. She could only step forward and step on Yuan Gang. She put a black pill into Yuan Gang's mouth …
Yuan Gang did not know how he woke up. When he woke up, he found himself covered in sweat. It was as if he had been soaked in water. His body was weak and his clothes were torn to shreds.
There was a woman's skirt in front of him. He turned his eyes and saw that it was Qin Mian looking down at him.
Yuan Gang forced himself to sit up. The feeling from before still made his hair stand on end. He realized that he might have been tricked.
Qin Mian squatted in front of him and said coldly, "You've got guts. You even dared to take advantage of my boss. My boss might be confused, but I'm not! Bai Yunjian was able to establish a foothold in Qi Capital because of the King of the West Yard. Regardless of whether my boss and the King of the West Yard had anything going on, if this matter were to spread, how would the King of the West Yard feel? You may be comfortable after taking advantage of me, but for my boss, it's a matter of life and death. For us, it's a disaster. How are you going to explain this? "
Yuan Gang was silent. The scene of him and Su Zhao flirting with each other appeared in his mind again. This matter really made him feel guilty …
In the end, they let Yuan Gang go.
After watching Yuan Gang's figure disappear from the back door, Su Zhao's figure walked out from the shadows. Her eyes were full of self-blame.
Qin Mian walked to her side slowly. Slowly, she said, "It wasn't hard to talk to him. At least he behaved like a man. He said that he would take responsibility for you! He didn't even know his place and said that he would take you away! I didn't agree. I gave him the ability to say that again. Otherwise, it would be bullsh * t! "
Su Zhao laughed and cried. Big drops of tears rolled down his cheeks …
Tonight, Su Zhao was destined to have a sleepless night.
Barefooted, she bent her knees and leaned against the side of the bed. Her fingertips played with the moon butterfly. Her mind was wandering.
When it was almost dawn, there was a knock on the door. Qin Mian walked in quickly and reported in a low voice, "Boss, Mr. Bai is here. He's very angry!"
Su Zhao was shocked. She quickly got up and said in a panic, "Didn't you spread the news just a few hours ago? Why is he here so soon? "
Qin Mian also said nervously, "I don't know either."
They hurriedly put on their clothes and walked out quickly. Once again, they came to the dark room where Yuan Gang was held.
Under the dim light, a figure covered in a black cloak had his back to them.
When the two entered, Su Zhao went forward and bowed, "Uncle!"
Slowly, the figure said, "Why don't you learn your lesson? How many times have I told you not to call me uncle!"
Su Zhao quickly corrected herself, "Master!"
The figure suddenly turned around and waved his hand to slap Su Zhao.
Slap! Su Zhao fell to the ground, holding his cheek. Blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
Qin Mian hurried forward to help him up. However, the person in the cloak raised his hand and pointed at her. Qin Mian immediately froze and backed away, trembling with fear.
