Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to stop.
She looked at Chun Feng and Ye Yu and saw that Chun Feng’s neck had been cut by a blade. A trace of dark red blood slowly flowed down the wound.
Chun Feng trembled with fear and tears fell.
However, she still endured the pain and shook her head. She told the Princess Consort to ignore them and run!
Yu Niaoniao lowered her hands and secretly tightened her grip on the crossbow tied to her forearm under the cover of her wide sleeves.
She threatened fiercely.
“Don’t forget my identity. I’m the official wife of Duke Lang. How dare you touch me?!”
Cheng Qi laughed. “If Duke Lang was still alive, I wouldn’t dare to touch you, but he’s dead now. No one can protect you.”
Yu Niaoniao bit her lower lip and looked indignant.
“If something happens to Duke Lang, the Imperial Court will not ignore it. When the emperor sends someone to investigate, you will definitely not be able to escape responsibility!”
Instead of being afraid, Cheng Qi laughed even more impudently.
“Don’t think I don’t know that the emperor has been bedridden for a long time.
He can’t even approve the memorials.
Now that all the matters of the court have been handed over to the Cabinet, the three princes are fighting for the throne.
They could not take care of themselves and would not care what happened in a remote place like Liangzhou.
Even if the Imperial Court really sends someone to investigate, I have a way to cover up everything.”
Yu Niaoniao was silent.
Cheng Qi was telling the truth. The current royal court had been messed up by the battle for the crown prince.
Everyone was watching the three princes, wanting to see who would ascend to the throne in the end.
At this juncture, no one would be distracted by Liangzhou’s business.
It was almost impossible to wait for the Imperial Court to send reinforcements.
Cheng Qi handed the hilt to the attendant beside him and reached out to Yu Niaoniao.
“Little beauty, is there anything else you want to say?”
“If not, come to me obediently. A smart person had to learn to judge the situation. The current you can only live by obeying me.”
face was tense as she glared at him angrily. However, because she was unable to protect herself, she could only slowly walk toward him with hatred and unwillingness.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Qi became even happier.
“I like your stubborn little temper best. It’s cute.”
When she was only a step away, he reached out and grabbed her arm. Eagerly, he pulled her into his arms and leaned over to kiss her.
“Niaoniao, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you..
Before he could finish, he felt something cold and hard press against his jaw.
With difficulty, he rolled his eyeball and looked down.
Yu Niaoniao’s right sleeve slid down, revealing the crossbow hidden inside.
The sharp arrow was under Cheng Qi’s chin.
As long as she extended the trigger, the arrow would pierce his chin.
Yu Niaoniao said coldly, “If you don’t want to die, get them to let my people go. ”
Cheng Qi did not expect her to carry such a dangerous weapon and was shocked.
But he was not flustered. He could even smile.
“Niaoniao, are you sure you can kill me?”
said, “Do you want to try?”
Cheng Qi said, “There’s something you might not know. I know martial arts too.”
Before the syllable of the last word could land, he attacked at lightning speed. He grabbed the joint of Yu Niaoniao’s right arm and twisted it hard.
With a sound, the joint in Yu Niaoniao’s right wrist dislocated.
Her right hand hung limply.
The pain made her face turn pale.
Cheng Qi pulled her into his arms and smiled proudly.
“I’m a descendant of an aristocratic family. I’ve learned the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and riding and archery sword techniques. I might not be good at dealing with experts, but it’s more than enough to deal with a weak woman like you.”
Yu Niaoniao endured the pain and pushed him out. “Let go of me.”
Cheng Qi reached out and touched her face.
“Be good. I’ll give you a good time.”
As he spoke, he took the crossbow bolt off her arm, then picked her up horizontally and strode toward the nearest guest room.
Behind him, the attendant said, “Prince Consort, aren’t you going to Princess Ni Yang’s birthday banquet?”
Cheng Qi said without looking back, “I’m very busy now. Just follow the plan!” struggled with all her might, but a woman was naturally weaker than a man in terms of strength. Moreover, her right hand was dislocated now, so it was even more impossible for her to break free.
Cheng Qi kicked open the guest room door and strode over with Yu Niaoniao.
He threw her onto the bed and immediately began to undress impatiently.
Yu Niaoniao endured the pain in her wrist and quickly got up.
She wanted to escape, but just as she got out of bed, Cheng Qi pushed her back onto the bed.
Cheng Qi strangled her and warned, “You’d better be good. Don’t keep thinking about escaping. My patience is limited. If you exhaust it all, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
Yu Niaoniao raised her leg and kicked his lower abdomen.
But this time, Cheng Qi was prepared and pressed his leg against hers.
Yu Niaoniao was tightly pressed and could no longer struggle.
She could only change her routine, pause her struggles, and beg with red eyes, “Can you let go of me first? You’re hurting me.”
Seeing that she had finally learned her lesson, Cheng Qi smiled in satisfaction. “That’s more like it. As long as you’re obedient, I’ll dote on you.”
With that, he really let go of Yu Niaoniao.
He was very confident in his strength and could completely control Yu Niaoniao. It was impossible for her to escape from him.
Yu Niaoniao quickly sat up and moved back to distance herself from Cheng Qi.
Her mind raced as she thought about what to do to get away.
That was when she saw someone jump through the window.
The man was agile and silent when he landed.
With the sunlight coming in through the window, Yu Niaoniao saw the person’s face clearly and could not help but be stunned.
It was actually Xiao Juan!
When did he arrive at the princess’s residence?!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Juan had already walked to the bed.
He looked at Cheng Qi coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
However, Cheng Qi’s back was facing the window. He did not notice what was happening behind him and was still looking at Yu Niaoniao with narrowed eyes.
“Niaoniao, don’t be shy. Come over and let me hug you.”
At this moment, the panic and uneasiness in Yu Niaoniao’s heart had completely dissipated.
She was even in the mood to tease Cheng Qi, “Prince Consort, that’s not good, right? I’m already Duke Lang’s wife. If Duke Lang finds out about what you’re doing to me, he’ll definitely kill you.”
Cheng Qi said indifferently, “He’s already dead. He’s just a dead person. Why bother with him? You just have to live happily with me! ”
“But he’s right behind you.”
Yu Niaoniao extended her little finger and pointed behind Cheng Qi..
