Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3851: Empress, Do You Want to Take a MedicineEditor: Atlas Studios

If it were before, she would have noticed the moment Shadow approached, but this time, only when Shadow called her did she realize that someone was approaching.

Nie Qingru opened her eyes and tried to suppress her fatigue. There was only shrewdness in her eyes. ”Did she say it?”

”She didn’t spill a word about Qiao Nian. About herself, she answered what she was asked.” Shadow frowned and concluded, ”... She’s a tough nut to crack.”

”Of course I know she’s hard to deal with!” Nie Qingru could not suppress her temper. She stood up with a cold aura and stared at him. ”Why did we spend so much effort to capture her?”

Shadow lowered his head.

Nie Qingru heaved a sigh of relief. ”Didn’t we capture her to get the wolf cub’s weakness out of her? And also news about Xicheng!”

Shadow lowered his head and did not say a word.

Nie Qingru paced in frustration, then stopped and said, ”You told me these two things, but you didn’t get any answers. Have you thought about what the wolf cub will do when she finds out we’ve taken her people away?”

Shadow raised his head and looked into her eyes, then said guiltily, ”I’m sorry, Empress. I was incompetent.”

Nie Qingru: ”I don’t want to hear this!”

Shadow said, ”We’ve tried all the punishments we can use on her, but she just won’t say anything. If we continue, she might die, so I...”

He did not finish his sentence.

Nie Qingru was a smart person and could tell what he was implying.

Her heart grew exceptionally irritable.

”Heh, she would rather die than betray Qiao Nian? What benefits did that evil creature give them that her subordinates are willing to die for her?”

Shadow replied, ”Guan Yan is one of the main members of the Red Alliance. Her relationship with her is not something ordinary people can compare to...”

Nie Qingru’s face turned even uglier as she looked at him in contempt.

”She doesn’t want to say... I’m sorry, Empress.” Shadow immediately stopped what he was about to say. He placed his hands in front of him and lowered his head respectfully.

Nie Qingru’s expression softened, and her snake-like eyes narrowed. ”It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t say anything. We still have Plan B.”

Unless absolutely necessary, Nie Qingru did not want to use the backup plan.

Guan Yan refused to explain anything, forcing her to take the risk and choose the most risky way to find Di Xicheng and force Qiao Nian to let him go...

Shadow seemed to want to persuade her.

Nie Qingru saw it.

However, she rarely wavered upon deciding on something. She simply pretended not to see it. Her face was cold and solemn, and her eyes were sharp as she said, ”Go and make arrangements.”

”...Yes.”

Shadow knew what she meant by Plan B. Seeing that Nie Qingru had made up her mind, he knew it was useless to persuade her, so he decided to do his best.

Nie Qingru pressed a hand against her temple. Her head was heavy and her feet were light. She said tiredly, ”Go.”

Shadow could tell her old ailment was acting up. He hesitated before taking a bottle from his pocket, pouring out a small white pill, and handing it to her.

”Empress, take a pill.”

Nie Qingru opened her eyes and saw the white pill in his palm. Disgust and annoyance flashed across her eyes.

None of this could compare to the pain in her head.

She did not resist for long. She grabbed the pill and put it in her mouth. Then, she swallowed with it black tea.

Nie Qingru did not know what to do with the medicine, but a few minutes after taking it, she clearly felt that the stubborn migraine had been relieved to a certain extent.
