Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 298: What You Owe Me Must Be Repaid (Part 1)

Qin Cang awoke from a dazed state, and the sight before him was unfamiliar.

This was not his familiar bedchamber.

The person sitting beside the dragon bed also surprised him.

"It’s you?" As he spoke, he realized his voice was terribly hoarse. Moreover, he was too weak to even lift his hand.

The candlelight enveloped Mu Qingge, accentuating her delicate features even more.

She wore a smile with unclear intentions and lazily said, "Congratulations on Your Majesty’s awakening."

"Why are you here? What... what happened to me? Where am I?" Qin Cang struggled to utter these words, then panted heavily a few more times.

He was very displeased with his own weakness.

Mu Qingge’s smile widened.

She had deliberately asked Qin Jinhao for some private time, just to question Qin Cang about a few matters.

Therefore, she gave a simple explanation to Qin Cang’s confusion: "Well, to put it simply, Your Majesty suddenly fell into a serious coma. The Empress and the Crown Prince intended to take this chance to claim your life. It was all thanks to Prince Rui who led us in storming the palace, killed the Empress and Crown Prince, and saved Your Majesty." She wasn’t about to mention that she was the one who poisoned him and also provided the antidote.

"What!" Qin Cang’s eyes widened in shock, "I was ill? The Empress and the Crown Prince plotted to rebel? You killed them?" Qin Cang felt as if he had only been asleep for a short time, yet everything had changed upon waking up.

However, Mu Qingge was in no mood to wait for Qin Cang to accept this reality. She leaned forward, staring at Qin Cang’s haggard face, and asked, "Your Majesty, I have a few questions. I wonder if you can resolve my doubts."

Returning to his senses from the shock, Qin Cang, though weak, looked at her with sharp eyes.

Ignoring his fierceness, to Mu Qingge, the current Qin Cang was just a tiger without claws. She asked, "Did my grandmother and uncle’s deaths have anything to do with you? Why did my father die among a group of mountain bandits, with no remains ever found? Also, my mother went to look for my father but has never returned, her life or death unknown. Do you know why?"

These three questions had always been the Mu Family’s heartache.

They seemed to guess the answer yet were unwilling to believe it.

At this moment, Mu Qingge just wanted to confirm whether everything was as they thought.

"Why should I answer you," Qin Cang glanced sharply at her.

Mu Qingge’s smile disappeared, and she abruptly stood up, speaking condescendingly, "If you still want the Qin Country to exist, you’d best answer my questions."

Qin Cang’s eyes narrowed: "You’re threatening me? Does Mu Xiong know you’re doing this?"

"Since I can appear here, you should know my words are not empty. Your Majesty, my patience is limited." Mu Qingge’s gaze was cold.

Struggle appeared in Qin Cang’s eyes.

His current incapacity made him realize that if Mu Qingge wanted to kill him, she could easily do so.

If answering a few questions could secure his life, he could wait until he recovered, and then it wouldn’t be too late to destroy the Mu Family!

After some deliberation, Qin Cang finally conceded: "Fine. Since you want to know, I will answer you. Your grandmother, uncle, and father’s deaths were indeed related to me. However, your mother’s affair has nothing to do with me at all."

Nothing to do with him?

Mu Qingge felt a bit disappointed.

It seemed that her mother appeared mysteriously and left just as mysteriously.

Having obtained the answers she wanted, Mu Qingge turned to leave.

"Wait." Qin Cang suddenly called out to her.

Mu Qingge halted her steps, then heard Qin Cang’s voice from behind: "You don’t hate me, don’t want to kill me to avenge your grandmother, father, and uncle?"
