Chapter 146: Eating the Princess Consort, Still Can't Break Her? (3)
The princess closed her eyes. It looked like she had given up, but in reality, she was forcing herself to calm down.
Emotions cloud judgment.
Su Qing observed her expression and posture.
Compared to last time, this pet was less eager but far more alluring.
Her voluptuous figure hid beneath her ornate clothes but still radiated beauty.
Because her hair was pinned up, even with her head down, her flushed face was visible.
She didn't move, eyes tightly shut, her body quivering, as if her spirit had been completely crushed.
But Su Qing wasn't naive. He wouldn't underestimate this venomous princess.
He was sure today's events had hit her hard.
But to think she'd truly given up and wouldn't fight back? That was just wishful thinking.
Her pitiful state now might be real, but it was also probably a performance.
This little doggy clearly hadn't given up, still scheming for a chance.
So damn disobedient!
Once you had the advantage, it was only right to push even harder.
Mercy to your enemies was cruelty to yourself. Letting things go would only make you a joke.
Su Qing's hand slowly ran down her back, clearly intending to take things further.
The outfit might have been elaborate in appearance, but the luxurious fabric was thin and clingy.
The sensation... was divine.
His fingers naturally found their way to the opening of her clothes and paused for a moment.
Su Qing seriously considered whether he should tear it open.
"Lord Su, this concubine has already given up resisting... what more do you want?"
Princess Consort stiffened, her voice filled with grievance.
She could sense his next move and couldn't keep pretending to be numb.
He was really going to go through with it!
"Sounds like a fair point. But if our roles were reversed, would you show me mercy?"
"Not long ago, weren't you still plotting how to deal with me?"
Su Qing replied in a calm tone.
Princess Consort fell completely silent.
It wasn't just a short while ago—she had been planning this for days.
Since the moment they first met, the idea had taken root and only grew stronger.
She thought today would be the day she finally succeeded, but she was outplayed again...
"So no, I don't need to show you any leniency. Especially since your request is laughable."
"Compared to what you've done, these little punishments don't even count."
There was a chill in Su Qing's voice.
He genuinely found her words ridiculous.
Sure, she kept getting the short end of the stick, but that didn't change the fact that she had bad intentions.
Did the venomous queen really think she was some innocent heroine like Yun Rong?
A big sister like Yun Rong deserved tenderness. She responded positively to it.
But this queen?
If you treated her gently, she'd only see you as her dog!
Those cold and ruthless words made Princess Consort shudder. She had nothing to say in return.
Faced with this young man's dominance, a faint sense of submission and obedience stirred within her.
He was right. She had no ground to bargain with.
That queenly pride that longed to be conquered began to shift just a little.
But after thinking about it, Su Qing gave up the idea of tearing off her clothes.
It wasn't the right time—someone could walk in at any moment. Better to wrap things up first.
Outside, the Imperial Guards had already begun their operation.
Elite squads marched into the royal estate, taking full control.
Though the estate had servants and guards, none dared move.
Everyone had seen the battle in the skies above the capital.
Even if they had rebellious thoughts before, now they were all loyal dogs.
Some of the fleeing nobles had even been caught by their own trusted aides.
No one would dare oppose the Imperial Guards. That would be defying the Emperor himself!
Everyone in the residence was detained, including the prince who had been hiding nearby.
"Lord Su, please give the next orders."
The Imperial Guard commander brought the prince straight to Su Qing.
By the time they arrived, Su Qing and Princess Consort were calmly seated again.
Anyone observant would notice something new around her neck.
Though partially hidden beneath her collar, it was still visible with a close look.
Prince Qi's face turned ashen, his expression ugly to the extreme.
He hadn't seen the final part of what happened because of the guards entering.
But judging by the state of the two now, he realized something.
The queen hadn't been able to suppress this boy.
Which meant he was completely screwed now.
"Prince Qi is of royal blood and must be shown proper respect."
"Secure the area and place him under house arrest. He's not to leave the estate."
Su Qing spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Prince Qi's grim face relaxed a bit.
He thought he was going to the dungeons, but this wasn't so bad!
Was this mercy? A softer punishment?
"Unless necessary, don't go near the back courtyard."
Su Qing added.
"Yes, sir!"
The commander respectfully obeyed.
Prince Qi, however, felt suspicious.
Was this guy really being that generous?
But then what happened next almost made his eyes pop out.
"I'll be taking the Princess Consort for deeper questioning. Handle the rest yourself."
Su Qing said.
And with that, he stood up and carried the silent queen in his arms.
As he walked off, the Imperial Guards didn't bat an eye.
Prince Qi's face collapsed again.
What kind of "deeper questioning" was this?! Everyone knew exactly what it meant!
He wanted to yell, to stop this bastard.
But one look at the stone-faced guards around him, and he swallowed that urge.
It wasn't that he lacked guts. They were just too damn strong!
Yet again, the cowardly prince found a perfect excuse for backing down.
Princess Consort didn't resist but was clearly confused.
She couldn't understand why the boy suddenly picked her up like this.
What more did he want? Was he really going to go there?
He'd already humiliated her this much and still wasn't satisfied? Truly vile!
She huffed internally, but showed no concern on her face.
She had only been nervous earlier because she worried someone might walk in.
But now? Nothing to be afraid of!
Once in the room, the queen was tossed onto the bed.
She didn't flinch or ask what he was doing. Instead, she adjusted into a more comfortable pose.
"Looks like my little doggy is ready for what's coming."
Su Qing calmly shut the door with a smile.
"May I ask what the master intends to do?"
Princess Consort's eyes carried amusement and arrogance.
Earlier, her mood had soured because of that massive shock.
But now she was regaining her composure, her confidence returning.
Her arrogance wasn't baseless—she had a reason for it.
She knew this brat's strength. Someone like him couldn't break through her defenses!
What could he even do besides rubbing and groping?
