My wife is a reborn big boss

"Cough...cough...spit, spit, spit!" Wu Qiong coughed dryly with a look of disgust.

"W-what's wrong? Ah Qiong! Are you alright?" Her Majesty the Empress asked anxiously.

Did I hug him too tightly?

Wu Qiongsheng said dejectedly, "It looks like your snot got into my mouth..."

"..." Her Majesty the Empress remained expressionless, reached into the blankets, and gave a hard squeeze!

"!!!" Wu Qiong's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he let out a silent scream, looking just like a salted fish waiting to die on a chopping board.

This time, I'm afraid I really have no will to live...

"It just so happens that I have many things I want to ask you. I wonder if Ah Qiong can satisfy my curiosity?" Her Majesty the Empress resumed her affectionate manner towards Wu Qiong.

But... her hands were still clasped inside the blanket.

"This..." Wu Qiong was reluctant.

"I ask, you answer." Her jade hand gradually clenched.

"Alright, alright! Ask away!" Wu Qiong decided not to argue with a woman.

What's more, she has leverage over him.

"Ah Qiong, do you like me?" That was the direct question right off the bat.

"I...I like it."

"Ah Qiong, do you like those two little girls?" His voice gradually lowered.

"You...like...right?" Although he was under someone else's control, he was unwilling to deceive her, and even more unwilling to deceive his own heart.

"Whom do you prefer?" Her Majesty the Queen asked, her voice tinged with nervousness.

"I like them both." A classic example of a scumbag's statement.

"Then... if you had to choose, who would you choose?" Her Majesty's voice was devoid of emotion.

Wu Qiong's forehead was covered in cold sweat; this was a question that could cost him his life.

"I want...I want it all..." Wu Qiong was courting death, recklessly courting death.

"...You're honest." Her Majesty was actually a little pleased, because Wu Qiong hadn't lied to her.

Although she wasn't very satisfied with the answer.

But... she had already gotten ahead of those two, and with Wu Qiong in her grasp, those two would have to consider her feelings if they wanted to see Wu Qiong.

This is called "using Wu's poverty to control the two women".

Her Majesty suddenly had a multitude of schemes pop into her mind, such as the "two women exhausting each other" scheme, the "one impoverished, two sisters killed" scheme, the "driving out Su and swallowing Li" scheme, and so on...

"Your Majesty? Xuanji? Little Xuanxuan? Little... cough..." Wu Qiong called out to Bai Xuanji cautiously when he saw her lost in thought.

He feared that if the Empress were to exert force with her hand while deep in thought, she might actually cripple him, and then he would truly have to report to Chief Supervisor Cao of the Eastern Depot...

Bai Xuanji snapped out of her deep thought and asked with a half-smile, "Ah Qiong, what's the matter?"

Although she has a mature and sophisticated air about her, her flushed, oval face betrays her true nature.

Wu Qiong's expression was serious: "Give me, Wu Qiong, some face and let it go."

"But why does it seem so energetic to me?" Her Majesty the Queen said, barely suppressing her embarrassment.

"Ahem." Wu Qiong said awkwardly, "Don't say that, your brother Qiong doesn't like it."

"Alright, I'll listen to whatever Ah Qiong says!" Her Majesty the Empress released the "hostage" and pounced on Wu Qiong, rubbing her head against his chest: "Bai Xuanji will listen to whatever Brother Ah Qiong says..."

"Hey, hey, hey, if you keep this up, your persona is going to collapse..." Wu Qiong said painfully, unable to move. Now she's turned into a lovestruck little fangirl. What happened to the cunning and mature woman she was supposed to be?

As for why she endured the pain... this is the head of someone at the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" level! Even if she didn't use her internal energy, just having that head, harder than steel, rolling around in her chest would be painful!

"What is a persona?" Her Majesty the Empress lifted her head from his chest and looked at him with an adorable expression.

"Don't worry about the details." Wu Qiong felt exhausted. "You have such a beautiful oval face and phoenix eyes, why are you acting all cute all the time!"

"Although I don't understand what you're saying, Ah Qiong, I'm still very happy." The Empress was happy, and when she was happy, she would reward him.

"Just tell me which of Bai Luo's concubines you fancy, and I'll have them come to serve you in bed."

As long as you don't develop feelings for them, everything else is negotiable.

"Stop messing around, you know my personality." Wu Qiong rolled his eyes.

He's not some heartless scumbag who's heartless. There are different kinds of scumbags, you know. He's the innocent type of scumbag.

Her Majesty the Empress smiled and kissed him: "As expected of my Ah Qiong, you haven't disappointed me."

"..." Wu Qiong just wanted to say, "Have our roles been reversed?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Lu Xiaohuang, who had been guarding the door, cautiously walked in.

Bai Xuanji frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

Lu Xiaohuang glanced at the two people snuggling on the bed and quickly lowered her head: "Li Jianshi from Xuantian Sect has arrived, as have Jiese from Shaolin Temple and Ye Qingxuan from Taiqing Sect."

Bai Xuanji suddenly unleashed a powerful killing intent that swept across the entire palace!

Lu Xiaohuang knelt on the ground with her head pressed against the ground; she had lost even the courage to breathe.

It may be just a moment, or it may be a long time.

Just as Lu Xiaohuang was about to suffocate, the pressure on her suddenly disappeared. She raised her sweaty face, looking slightly dazed, and heard the Empress's emotionless voice: "I understand. You may leave."

"Yes... Your humble servant takes his leave." Lu Xiaohuang retreated hastily, her back view looking as if she were being chased by some terrifying wild beast.

"Xuanji, you..." Wu Qiong looked at the silent Bai Xuanji and slowly spoke.

"Ah Qiong, you don't need to say anything more." Her Majesty the Empress interrupted him, "I'm only sparing her life because of you, Ah Qiong. She may be spared the death penalty, but her punishment is ultimately unforgivable."

She got up from Wu Qiong, tucked him in, and looked at him as he seemed about to say something. She said gently, "Don't worry, Qiong, I won't kill her."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Wu Qiong, standing behind him, stared blankly at the gauze ribbon above his head. After a long while, he sighed.

.........

Outside the palace, the three abstainers had been waiting for a long time.

Having received the news halfway back, Li Jianshi finally couldn't wait any longer. She said to Lu Xiaohuang, who was blocking her way, "I don't know..."

"No." Lu Xiaohuang said expressionlessly, in a businesslike manner: "His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

If she disobeyed orders, she would have to serve the emperor in bed...

The woman who was standing nearby, Jie Se, chimed in, "Hey, young lady guard, we monks are sworn brothers with Brother Wu. It's one thing for others, but to not even let us in to visit is a bit much, isn't it?"

Lu Xiaohuang kept her eyes straight ahead: "This is His Majesty's order, and I can only obey. Besides, Young Master Wu is very busy and has no time to see you."

Wu Qiong, who was used as a human pillow by Bai Xuanji while he was unconscious, should be fulfilling his duties at this moment.

"You're being incredibly unreasonable, woman!" Jie Se glared angrily. "Back then, in that critical moment, this humble monk and the Taoist priest covered for Brother Wu! You can't just turn your back on us like that!"

Jie Se and Ye Qingxuan were also severely injured, but Bai Xuanji ordered them to be thrown into a thatched hut without any medicine. They were only given a bowl of thin porridge that was so thin you could see the bottom of the bowl every day. Jie Se was not happy about this!

"But you failed." The Empress of Great Zhou walked out of her palace and said indifferently, "Failure means accepting punishment."

She knew it wasn't their fault, but she couldn't help it; she just wanted to take her anger out on them.

It's because those two little bitches, Li Jianshi and Su Mubai, haven't arrived yet. If she doesn't vent her frustration, she won't be able to get over it.

Jie Se wisely shut his mouth and shrank into a corner with Yue Ye Qingxuan. He could already feel the intense, lingering killing intent emanating from Her Majesty the Empress.

Bai Xuanji slowly walked up to Li Jianshi, who was stiff and struggling to resist the murderous aura. She grabbed Li Jianshi's chin, lifted her up, looked directly into her eyes, and said in a cold voice:

"You dare to come again?"
