Chapter Fifty Seven: I Can't Want You
Qin Wan's shocking words shocked Zang Qi.
What does it mean to have no relationship as husband and wife? Aren't they married? Even if there is no reality as husband and wife, they can't leave easily, right?
But considering that Qin Wan is a princess, I heard that most of the noble ladies in the capital are very dissolute, and even if they get married, they like to go to the husband to have sex with them. It seems that the rumors are true.
Zang Qi secretly looked at Qin Wan. Although what he said just now made him subconsciously reject her, he had to admit in his heart that Qin Wan was an extremely beautiful woman. If something happened to her, it would not be unacceptable.
Moreover, if I think about it more carefully, if Qin Wan really fell in love with him and kept him by her side, then he could completely pretend to please her and relax her guard to complete the task.
After killing Xiao Lie, he could leave calmly. Since he was a man, he would not suffer any loss.
Zang Qi tried hard to convince himself, but he couldn't help but picture the humiliation of succumbing to Qin Wan in his mind...
"No, absolutely not, I will not give in to you!" Zang Qi shouted resolutely.
Qin Wan looked at Xiao Lie and found that he had not woken up.
It seemed that Xiao Lie had some reaction because of what she said.
Qin Wan pouted, then turned to Zang Qi and said, "Okay, it's just a joke. I won't commit a crime for a little brother like you who hasn't grown up yet."
In her previous life, this boy was not yet an adult, so she could just keep him by her side as a bodyguard for her eyesight.
She couldn't do it any further.
It took three days to drive a carriage from Huaiyang Mansion to Changning Mansion one way. Qin Wan and others traveled day and night, and finally arrived at Changning Mansion by the evening of the third day.
Changning Prefecture is the northernmost point of the Yan Kingdom. The autumn here is very short. It has just entered autumn and it is already as cold as winter.
As for the Changning Snow Mountain they were going to, from halfway up the mountainside, there was snow that never melted all year round, making it very cold.
Wearing only simple autumn clothes, they entered Yangcheng in Changning Mansion. Qin Wan immediately bought two sets of winter clothes and a fur cloak for everyone.
It was already dark, and under the leadership of Dongfang Lan, they found an inn to stay.
"Xiao Jun, we will go into the mountain tomorrow, and you will watch Xiao Lie here."
After checking into the inn, Qin Wan specially called Xiao Jun over.
She was worried about the others. Although she had asked before, there were only two waves of those men in black, but what if King Xing sent someone again.
Xiao Jun's kung fu is good. Although he is young, he is still reliable. Qin Wan still trusts him.
"Princess, that Zang Qi, do you still keep him? I'm afraid he has evil intentions and is a future trouble." Xiao Jun couldn't help but said.
He had endured this for a long time. He didn't understand why Qin Wan wanted to accept a killer as his subordinate, and the killer's mission was to kill Xiao Lie.
If you keep him by your side, wouldn't Xiao Lie be in danger all the time?
Qin Wan was silent and did not answer him immediately.
From the time she left the capital, except for Xing'er, everyone else around her was either Xiao Lie's person or had interests, so they followed her and followed her lead.
If he arrives in Xizhou, no one will follow him when he leaves.
Sooner or later, people like her and Xiao Lie would part ways, so she would naturally want to cultivate a few of her own if she had the opportunity.
Although Zang Qi is just pretending to follow her now, his martial arts are very good, he is still a newbie, he has not been contaminated by those men in black with bad character, and his mind is still pure.
As for him still thinking about completing the task, it is a good thing for Qin Wan.
This shows that he is loyal.
It’s even more trainable.
"I will take him with me when we go into the mountains this time. Just take good care of Xiao Lie. I will rush back as soon as I find the medicine."
With that said, Qin Wan took a package to him.
"Here are some potions I made. I'll teach you how to use them. Give Xiao Lie a dose every evening." What Qin Wan gave him was naturally nutrient solution.
Xiao Lie has been in a coma. If he did not replenish his body's nutrition, his life would have been long gone.
"There is also a Gu Bell inside. If something unexpected happens, you can ring the Gu Bell so that I can know the situation here even though I am thousands of miles away."
Xiao Jun took it solemnly and took a few more curious glances at the Gu Bell. He had never seen such a thing before.
When did Qin Wan get this thing? Or was it brought out from the capital?
He was very curious, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.
After making arrangements for Xiao Lie, Qin Wan came to Zang Qi's room.
Because the acupuncture points were locked and the poison in his body had not been released, Zang Qi felt a cold that penetrated into his bones as soon as he arrived at Changning Mansion.
As a talented person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, it was the first time that he felt that he was so weak.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
After entering the room, Zang Qi fell on the bed.
Originally, he was unable to exert any strength due to the poisoning, and now his body is even more limp and weak.
He touched his forehead.
Somewhat feverish.
But he didn't go out and tell anyone. Instead, he wrapped himself in the quilt.
It was just a small fever and it passed quickly.
He was lying on the bed, his consciousness gradually becoming confused, as if he had returned to many years ago.
It was a cold winter with heavy snowfall, and he was learning skills from several violinists in the yard. His mother came over and held him in her arms.
He still remembers his mother's red eyes from crying, which were beautiful and charming.
My mother is the most beautiful woman in Chuncheng and also the first female branch.
Men who like her line up from the west to the east of the city, and there is an endless stream of patrons every day.
That day, his mother took him to the room and put him in a snow-white fox velvet short coat, which made him very warm.
But she said.
Zang Qi, mother can’t have you anymore.
He was secretly given birth to by his mother in Goulan. After being discovered by those benefactors, her mother's business suffered a lot. In order to win back those benefactors, she gave up on him.
"Don't go, mother, don't go."
He was so dizzy with fever that the toxins in his body seemed to be drawn out.
The painful suffocation made him gasp for breath, and his body was soaked with sweat.
In the haze, he seemed to see his mother in a trance, and couldn't help but grab her while talking in his sleep.
Don't let him go.
He is very good.
It has become very powerful now.
No one will bully them anymore.
He will protect his mother.
Qin Wan lowered his eyes and looked at Zang Qi's hand tightly grasping the corner of his clothes.
He squeezed her so hard that his fingertips turned white, and the sweat in his palms soaked her clothes.
She originally just wanted to detoxify Zang Qi and then feed him the same poison as Hu Lai and the others to control him, so that she wouldn't have to worry about his betrayal. But she didn't expect to see such a scene.
That day in the woods, she looked at him as if he was missing someone.
