The candles burning in the inner hall of Yuanchen Palace remained almost unextinguished all night.

I called for water several times that night.

Qiao'er hardly closed her eyes and stayed guarding the outer hall until dawn.

Her eyes were black and blue, and her face was haggard.

What a miserable life this is! The Queen must have been tortured to death by His Majesty.

The inner hall was not quiet all night long, and the sound of the queen crying could be heard from time to time.

It was only at dawn that things became quiet.

Your Majesty is truly terrifying!

Qiao'er was very worried about Zhou Lingge.

She turned her head to look at Eunuch Liu, who was leaning against the door and dozing with his eyes closed.

She boldly whispered, "Your Majesty, are you usually so indulgent?"

Eunuch Liu suddenly woke up from his sleepiness. He was surprised by Qiao'er's bold remarks.

He immediately scolded her, "How dare you! How can you comment on His Majesty's behavior?"

Then, he muttered quietly, "Your Majesty used to be very indifferent to women. It's because Concubine Jia is too seductive. Any normal man would probably lose control if he got such a stunning beauty."

Qiao'er shrank her neck and didn't dare to say another word.

But she continued to complain in her heart.

How could their queen... withstand such ferocious destruction?

If this happens for a few more nights, the Empress will be completely drained of her energy!

Suddenly, Qin Feiling's voice came from inside.

Eunuch Liu was cheered up and immediately ordered the palace servants to prepare for washing.

He quickly pushed open the door of the hall and walked in, with Qiao'er following closely behind him.

Qiao'er walked into the inner hall and couldn't help but look up at the bed curtain with some worry.

The white gauze curtain hung down, covering the graceful figure lying on the bed.

When Eunuch Liu saw Concubine Jia still sleeping, he couldn't help but clear his throat and wanted to call Concubine Jia to get up. After all, at this time, it was usually the concubines who helped the emperor change clothes and wash.

His Majesty has stood up, but she, a concubine, is still lying there. This is really against the rules.

Unexpectedly, before he started shouting, Qin Feiling glanced at him coldly.

Eunuch Liu fell silent immediately and swallowed all the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

A huge undercurrent was stirring in his heart.

My goodness, Concubine Jia is truly favored. Not only can she stay overnight in the Wolong Palace and share the same bed with His Majesty, but now His Majesty doesn't even need her to get up and serve him.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Jiapin is the first concubine who does not have to stand up to help the emperor change clothes.

If this unique favor were to be spread out, wouldn't the concubines in the harem go crazy with jealousy?

Qin Feiling let the palace servants help her dress and wash.

After everything was tidied up, he waved away the palace maids, lifted the curtain and got back into bed.

Eunuch Liu's eyes were wide open.

He quickly lowered his head and retreated.

Faintly, he seemed to hear His Majesty's hoarse voice, as if coaxing, "Sleep well, I won't let anyone come in to disturb you. Wait for me for dinner, I'll eat with you."

Eunuch Liu was extremely shocked. His Majesty is coming to Yuanchen Palace tonight?

This... Jiapin has been favored for three days in a row.

The late emperor once established a rule that the emperor could not favor a concubine for more than three days. But looking at the attitude of Your Majesty, is it possible that he will continue to favor Concubine Jia?

Eunuch Liu was trembling with fear, his legs shaking.

He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead... If the Queen Mother knew about this, there would probably be another uproar in the harem.

Jiapin...Jiapin is the biggest variable!

Zhou Lingge was half asleep when she felt the warm air blowing beside her ear and the annoying kisses falling on her cheeks...even accompanied by the chattering words.

She raised her hand impatiently and slapped Qin Feiling on the jaw.

Qin Feiling frowned and grabbed her wrist.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard Zhou Lingge's hoarse voice, mixed with sobs: "It hurts so much, my whole body is falling apart... Leave me alone and let me have a good sleep, okay?"

Qin Feiling sighed helplessly. No matter how big the fire was, it disappeared in an instant.

The coldness between his eyebrows softened a little, and he gently touched her bright red and slightly swollen lips. His eyes deepened a little, and in the end he couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her lips several times.

Without another word, he slowly stood up and left.

Zhou Lingge had no idea that he had accidentally hit the emperor on the jaw.

This is the horrific equivalent of pinching a tiger's whiskers.

Qiao'er had been standing by and saw clearly what had just happened.

She was so frightened that she dared not breathe, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

After Qin Feiling left, the palace door closed again. She knelt on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

It really scared her to death!

Concubine Jia was too bold just now. She actually hit His Majesty!

Omg.

His Majesty was not angry at all.

Who else in the world can possess such grace?

Zhou Lingge did not sleep well... She felt like she was in heaven one moment and fell into hell the next.

My whole body hurts terribly.

Her brows were furrowed all the time!

In her dream, her hands and feet were tied with iron chains and she was locked in a dark room... No matter how she screamed, no one showed up to untie her and save her from the desperate situation.

She couldn't help sobbing, her face full of pain.

"let me go!"

"help me!"

Qiao'er had been standing by. Seeing that the queen had a nightmare, she quickly leaned over and whispered, "Queen, are you okay?"

Zhou Lingge suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Qiao'er in a daze.

She was dazed for a while.

"Where am I now?"

Qiao'er was startled, and she quickly replied: "My Lady, you are in Yuanchen Palace now."

"What happened to you just now? Why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare? Or are you in pain somewhere?"

She looked at the shocking marks on the Empress' body and her heart tightened.

Your Majesty is so unsympathetic to the Queen!

It would be strange if the Queen didn't cry in pain.

Zhou Lingge gradually regained consciousness.

She remembered that she was reborn twenty years ago. Now she became Qin Feiling's concubine Jia, and she lived in Yuanchen Palace, where Zhou Shiya dreamed of living.

She took a long time to calm down.

She sat up from the bed: "What time is it now?"

Qiao Er quickly replied, "My Lady, it is now the 15th hour of the morning."

She helped Zhou Lingge wash and change clothes with quick movements.

Unexpectedly, at this moment there was a loud noise outside.

Qiao'er frowned and was about to scold... Qiu Hui, the palace maid from Fengluan Palace, pushed aside the palace maid who tried to stop her and walked into the inner hall openly.

"I am the head maidservant of the Empress. Who dares to stop me?"

The palace maid immediately stopped doing anything.

After all, the person with the highest authority in the harem is the queen.

Qiao'er looked at Zhou Lingge somewhat helplessly.

Zhou Lingge rubbed his eyebrows, raised his head, and looked at Qiu Hui coldly.

She curled her lips and smiled coldly.

Qiu Hui was another old acquaintance. She was a first-class maidservant beside Zhou Shiya and a servile daughter of the Zhou family.

In past and present lives, this person has often taken advantage of Zhou Shiya's power to bully her.

Qiu Hui raised her eyebrows and met Zhou Lingge's gaze, her eyes full of contemptuous smile.

She looked at the luxurious and exquisite palace, and the jealousy and anger in her heart could no longer be controlled and suddenly burst out.

"Sixth Miss is truly enjoying herself these days. Once she's on the rise, she's forgotten her roots in the blink of an eye... She's only focused on flirting with His Majesty, completely disregarding the Empress."
