I am favored by the tyrant, so what if I am vicious?

"Qingying, I once treated you like a sister, but you betrayed me and joined the Queen for your own selfish desires. From the moment you entered Yuanchen Palace with the envelope and jade pendant, the relationship between you and me is no longer that of a master and servant with deep sisterly affection... So, don't blame me for being cruel."

Qingying no longer had the strength to resist, and her body fell limply to the ground.

Zhou Lingge looked down at her, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"I have one last question for you... Were you the one who forged the letter and the jade pendant?"

"If you don't speak up, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs. These dozens of slaps... are enough to show you clearly how I operate now. So, don't think I'm deliberately trying to scare you... I've given you this opportunity, and if you don't know how to cherish it, don't blame me for being cold-hearted."

She lost the jade ruyi and stared at Qingying with calm eyes.

It seemed that if Qingying shook her head again, she would immediately cut off her tongue.

At this moment, Qingying no longer dared to look down on Zhou Lingge.

She looked at Zhou Lingge as if she was looking at a devil.

This is not her sixth girl!

This is a ghost crawling out of hell!

Her teeth were chattering with fear, and the defense she had held in her heart completely collapsed at this moment.

She sobbed, "It was... I forged the envelope, and I spent a lot of money to buy the jade pendant. This was all the Queen's idea. She coerced and bribed me into doing this. Miss... I was forced into this. I beg you to forgive me this time for the sake of our past friendship."

"This slave... This slave will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me... Please."

She lay on the ground, prostrating herself and kowtowing.

She was completely scared of Zhou Lingge from the bottom of her heart.

This is not her sixth girl!

This is a devil without any humanity!

Zhou Lingge squatted down and fiercely grabbed Qingying's scattered hair. "You're so stupid! Why were you so stubborn in the beginning? You should have confessed long ago. Why did you have to endure so much pain?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you... After all, you've been my servant for over a decade. But from now on... you must obey me in everything you do. If you ever have second thoughts again, not only you... but your parents, including your brother and sister-in-law... every single one of them will die a miserable death!"

Her sharp nails poked Qingying's delicate cheeks hard.

Qingying was so scared that her whole body was trembling.

She believed that Zhou Lingge would do what he said!

If her eyes could kill, she would have been tortured to death thousands of times.

She was afraid of the current Concubine Jia, and this fear had far exceeded her fear of the Queen.

Qingying no longer dared to contradict her, otherwise, not only her but also her family would not be able to survive!

Her face was pale, and she nodded quickly: "Slave...slave dare not."

"I thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will be loyal to you to the bitter end."

Zhou Lingge let go of Qingying, flicked his sleeves and stood up.

She still has a use for Qingying, and she naturally won't destroy such a good chess piece easily!

Give Zhou Shiya a taste of what it feels like to be betrayed by someone you trust!

She turned her head and looked at Qiao'er: "Take her down, arrange accommodation for her, and find a doctor to treat the wound on her face."

Qiao'er immediately agreed and dragged Qingying away.

Zhou Lingge held the envelope under the candlelight.

The flames quickly devoured the envelope... She glanced at the jade pendant with a gleam in her eyes and hid it in her sleeve.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the temple door: "What are you burning?"

Zhou Lingge looked up at the entrance of the hall.

Qin Feiling was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with his hands behind his back, his whole body bathed in the sun, his eyes gazing at her deeply.

Zhou Lingge quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Before Qin Feiling could say anything, Concubine Liu came out from behind him with red eyes.

Her face was full of grievance, "Your Majesty... please make the decision for me!"

She cried so hard that her whole body shook, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Qin Feiling ignored her. He stepped into the inner hall, glanced at the ashes scattered under the candlelight, stared at Zhou Lingge's stunning face, and asked again, "What was that thing that just burned?"

Zhou Lingge did not hide anything and replied truthfully: "It's a letter."

Qin Feiling frowned, he stepped forward, grabbed her sleeve, and took out the jade pendant she had hidden in her sleeve.

"Where did this jade pendant come from?"

Zhou Lingge did not hide or dodge at all. After beating Qingying for such a long time, she was a little tired now.

She put her arm around Qin Feiling without any scruples and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I am a little tired now and don't want to talk."

Qin Feiling's eyes were full of surprise. She looked so dependent and coquettish, but he remained silent without moving his arms and even put his arms around her slender waist.

"What did you do? Are you so tired?"

Zhou Lingge raised his hand without hesitation and put it in front of Qin Feiling.

"Look... my palms are swollen from beating someone up."

She bit her red lips, tears welling in her eyes: "It hurts."

Qin Feiling's eyes trembled slightly, and he grabbed her hand.

When his eyes fell on the red and swollen palm, he frowned and quickly asked someone to call the imperial physician.

Concubine Liu was completely left out.

She was completely treated as air... She looked at the two people who were acting intimately as if no one was around, and her eyes were filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

She walked into the inner hall with her bulging belly, knelt on the ground holding a handkerchief, and began to cry.

"Your Majesty... Concubine Jia is too arrogant and domineering. She slapped my maid without saying a word... Qiujuan's face was even smashed by her. Wuwu, Your Majesty, please stand up for me."

Qin Feiling was very annoyed by her crying.

"Shut up, it's making my head hurt."

Concubine Liu was so frightened that she trembled and dared not cry out loud anymore.

She looked pitiful, tears in her eyes, and looked at Qin Feiling aggrievedly: "Your Majesty..."

"Jiapin hit my maid, and I was pregnant with the emperor's heir, but she didn't care at all... If it weren't for Qiujuan's protection, she would probably have wanted to attack me."

Zhou Lingge also felt that Concubine Liu was too annoying. She was already tired, and now she was even more tired after beating Qingying.

I really want to rest and sleep!

She stood up straight and pulled her waist away from his grasp.

She didn't waste time talking to Concubine Liu. She turned her head to look at Qin Feiling and said bluntly, "Concubine Liu is right. I did hit her maidservant hard... That girl's face is probably ruined!"

"If Your Majesty is angry, you can punish me. I have no complaints and will leave it to Your Majesty to decide..."

Get angry quickly and leave quickly!

She is tired and wants to sleep.

She didn't want to deal with anyone now, including Qin Feiling!

Concubine Liu's eyes lit up with joy. She didn't expect Zhou Lingge to self-destruct like this... Haha, she is so stupid. She has no scheming or scheming at all. She is arrogant and brainless to the extreme.

Does she think she can fight with me?

Your Majesty dislikes arrogant and domineering women the most. Although she is domineering on weekdays, that is towards others. In front of Your Majesty, she is still very well-behaved and understanding.

Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, and no one has ever dared to be disrespectful to him.

Jiapin was really like a pig, she bumped herself to death.
