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

"Yes, if we indulge her this time, won't she become arrogant in the future? She will become even more unscrupulous and won't take anyone seriously?" Concubine Jiang suppressed the jealousy in her heart and said something.

Concubine Li cautiously reminded her, "Your Majesty is very fond of her. Yesterday, Concubine Liu somehow offended her, and not only did I get my face smashed, but she was also demoted. Now she is His Majesty's favorite... She can't be touched easily."

Unexpectedly, this further aroused Shufei's anger.

"Noble Lady Liu committed insubordination... She deserves to be punished. How could Your Majesty be protecting Concubine Jia? It's her unshirkable responsibility to pay her respects today, sooner or later. No matter what... no one can exempt her from punishment."

"Even if His Majesty were here... he couldn't protect her so blatantly!"

"What the Concubine Shu said is right." Concubine Sun muttered softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please handle this impartially."

At once, everyone was outraged and attacked Zhou Lingge, demanding that Zhou Shiya punish Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge has completely become a thorn in everyone's side!

Zhou Shiya was very satisfied with this scene. She looked at Zhou Lingge with a look of embarrassment, "Ge'er, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you broke the rules of the palace."

"How about this? Originally, you were to kneel for two hours, but I'll let you kneel for one hour, okay?"

Concubine Shu was furious: "Your Majesty, why are you still discussing this with her? Quickly have your servants drag her out... Otherwise, she will become even more arrogant and domineering."

She didn't want to even look at this vixen!

Zhou Shiya sighed helplessly and looked at the palace servants and ordered: "Take Jiapin out and make her kneel down as punishment."

The palace maid immediately responded and walked towards Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge glanced around the palace with a half-smile, seeing the concubines with red eyes of jealousy.

She pushed the palace maid away, twisted her waist unscrupulously, and sat on the armchair.

"This punishment of kneeling, please forgive me, I cannot accept it! I wonder, in this harem, which is more important, the rules or your majesty?"

She twisted her waist and rubbed the sore part.

"Oh, it's so sore and painful. It's all because of your Majesty, you used too much force last night and didn't know how to be gentle with me. My waist is about to break."

The hall fell into silence again.

None of them had expected that Jiapin would show off to them the special favor His Majesty had shown her without any scruples.

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger. "How shameless! Concubine Jia...are you going to disobey the Empress's decree?"

Zhou Lingge curled her lips and smiled, meeting Concubine Shu's exasperated face.

"Your Majesty has already excused me from paying my respects today. Doesn't Concubine Shu know this?"

Concubine Shu was taken aback. "Your Majesty, are you exempt from paying your respects?"

Zhou Lingge blinked and nodded innocently, "Yes...didn't His Majesty inform the Empress?"

She turned her head and looked at Zhou Shiya.

"Eldest sister...you don't know about this? His Majesty is so careless. He clearly told me that I don't have to pay my respects or perform formalities today." She frowned, a little angry.

Zhou Shiya's heart tightened.

His Majesty sent someone to inform her that Concubine Jia is exempted from paying her respects today.

But she was unwilling to give up, so she sent Qiu Hui to invite Jiapin.

Oh, she just remembered then, Jiapin has come, why hasn’t Qiuhui come back yet?

Zhou Shiya immediately noticed something was wrong.

"His Majesty has indeed sent a message, exempting Concubine Jia from paying respects today..."

"I was busy with other things and forgot about it for a moment."

Zhou Lingge laughed secretly in his heart, huh, forgot?

Do you think she will believe it?

Zhou Lingge's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked with sobs, her face filled with grievance. "My elder sister almost made me suffer because of a simple word I forgot. Your Majesty made me suffer at night, and now I have to endure this kind of torture during the day."

Her shoulders shook and she sobbed softly. Her clothes accidentally slipped off, revealing the purple marks on her collarbone to everyone.

"Why is my life so miserable?"

The eyes of the concubines present all fell on Zhou Lingge's collarbone.

Countless pairs of eyes, so jealous that they can spit fire.

In all the years they have served His Majesty, they have never seen His Majesty favor a concubine like this.

If it weren't for the kisses and love he gave her, how could he have left so many marks on Concubine Jia?

How could a mere concubine's daughter, a vixen... be so loved by His Majesty?

Almost all the concubines present were so angry that they were about to bite their teeth off.

Zhou Shiya was also stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at the marks on Zhou Lingge's collarbone.

Your Majesty likes Zhou Lingge so much...so much!

Zhou Lingge continued to sob in grievance. She also turned her beautiful eyes and glanced at the jealous red eyes of the concubines.

"They say that once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea... I finally experienced it today. The eyes of you sisters are like knives, wishing to cut me into pieces. You... you are all jealous of me, and you all want to kill me..."

"Your Majesty dotes on me, loves me... Is this something I can control? We are all women, why make things difficult for women? If you are jealous, if you are angry, blame Your Majesty. If you don't have the ability to blame others, why take your anger out on me?"

"If anyone of you has the guts, go and seduce His Majesty away, and save me from nearly losing half my life in service to His Majesty!"

Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe that Jiapin would say such crazy words!

She...she really has big breasts and no brains.

Is she smart or stupid?

Zhou Shiya gasped and looked at Zhou Lingge in great surprise.

Is this concubine crazy?

She knows what she's talking about!

Just then, Nanny Zhou walked in from outside with a grim expression.

She glared at Zhou Lingge fiercely and immediately went to Zhou Shiya to complain: "My Lady...Qiu Hui is in trouble."

"Now he is dying."

Zhou Shiya was stunned. She looked at Nanny Zhou in disbelief: "What's going on? I just sent her to Jiapin's palace to ask Jiapin to come over..."

Nanny Zhou loved Qiu Hui almost as if she were her own daughter. When she thought of Qiu Hui being tortured to death, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She fell to her knees and said, "My Lady... please save Qiu Hui."

"It was Concubine Jia...it was Concubine Jia who sent someone to push Qiu Hui into the lake, intending to drown her...If this old slave hadn't sent someone to look for her, Qiu Hui would have died by now. Woohoo...My Lady, Qiu Hui is so pitiful, please save her."

Zhou Shiya quickly helped Nanny Zhou up and sent someone to ask the imperial physician to treat Qiu Hui.

She frowned and looked at Zhou Lingge: "Ge'er, how could you be so cruel to Qiu Hui? She has been very kind to you over the years. How could you turn completely against her and use such cruel means to harm her once you became Concubine Jia?"

"I just asked her to invite you over so that we sisters in the harem can sit together and bond. If you don't want to come, then forget it. But how could you be so cruel and take someone's life?"

Zhou Lingge's eyes immediately filled with tears. She looked at Zhou Shiya with deep sorrow, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Eldest sister... what are you talking about? Qiu Hui almost drowned, what does that have to do with me? Qiu Hui went to Yuanchen Palace to deliver a message, and she was arrogant and rude, even scolding me... For your sake, I endured it all and didn't argue with her. Qiu Hui left after delivering the message... How can I be blamed for her falling into the lake?"

"Wow, I am innocent. Madam Zhou's words have left me speechless. In this case, to clear my name, I will die as an apology..."

She felt extremely aggrieved and cried as she spoke. Then she stood up and ran towards a pillar not far away.

All the concubines present were stunned.

You were fine, why did you hit the pillar?

How could Concubine Jia be so crazy!

"What happened?" A man's majestic voice sounded from the door of the hall.
