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

"Your logic is not sound, you are clearly lying with your eyes open. Your Majesty, you heard it... I was really wronged. Woohoo... I am so sad. It's all your fault that you doted on me too much, so they all wanted to harm me, even my eldest sister... she also had resentment towards me. How am I going to live in the future... Woohoo." As Zhou Lingge spoke, she grabbed Qin Feiling's sleeve and started crying.

As the saying goes, when a beautiful woman sheds tears, it does not make people feel ugly, but rather it is charming, beautiful and enchanting. Every crystal tear she sheds is like the stars in the sky, which makes people feel distressed and loving.

Qin Feiling patted her back gently with his big, broad hand to soothe her.

"Okay, stop crying... I'll take care of it for you. Come, take this old slave away and torture her severely. I don't believe she won't tell the truth!"

As if she was tired of crying, Zhou Lingge gradually stopped crying after hearing his assurance. She leaned softly and weakly on the man's broad chest, looking like a little bird, extremely dependent and trusting.

She buried her face in Qin Feiling's chest, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up slowly.

There was hostility and coldness flashing in his eyes.

Nanny Zhou's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.

She hurriedly looked at Zhou Shiya in panic: "My Lady, save this old slave."

She is so old. If she is really beaten with a stick, can she still survive?

Nanny Zhou looked at the queen in despair.

Zhou Shiya's breathing stagnated and her heart ached with anger.

How dare Zhou Lingge, a lowly concubine's daughter? Did she want to declare war on me and completely break up with me?

She gritted her teeth secretly, trying her best to suppress the anger surging in her chest.

She raised her hand and slapped Madam Zhou hard: "Madam Zhou, you are really old and confused. How can you slander Concubine Jia like this without any evidence?"

"You really disappoint me!"

Nanny Zhou ignored the pain in her cheek and kowtowed to apologize.

Zhou Shiya pulled the corners of her stiff lips and looked at Zhou Lingge: "Ge'er, Nanny Zhou is old and sometimes confused. Don't bother with her. You know she treats Qiu Hui like her own daughter. She was just too concerned for the moment and said the wrong thing in her excitement."

"Can you please forgive her this time for my sake?"

Zhou Shiya had a pleading look on her face, but she was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

She had never been so humble in her life, and this was to a lowly concubine's daughter whom she had always looked down upon.

Zhou Lingge leaned softly on Qin Feiling's chest, raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Shiya's suppressed and depressed look... She felt really refreshed.

Zhou Shiya...her good elder sister, this is just the beginning!

She will torture her bit by bit, and she will let her taste what it feels like to fall into hell!

Zhou Lingge lowered her eyes and tugged at Qin Feiling's sleeve: "Your Majesty, forget it... Nanny Zhou is, after all, my eldest sister's trusted nanny who has followed her for many years. She's like a family member. Since my eldest sister has spoken, let's forgive her this time."

"After all, my concubine and my elder sister are members of the Zhou family... I have to give my elder sister this honor."

Qin Feiling touched Zhou Lingge's soft hair and glanced at Zhou Shiya calmly: "Jiapin is generous and doesn't care about it. Queen, you should say thank you to her."

Zhou Shiya was so angry that her mouth almost twisted.

Let her, the mother of a country, thank a little concubine?

Your Majesty...why is he so partial to Concubine Jia?

Lust blinds one's mind... He is so ridiculous!

Zhou Shiya clenched her fists tightly, but dared not speak out.

Indignation and rage were entangled fiercely in her chest. It was so humiliating.

She had never felt so wronged in her life.

Zhou Shiya couldn't bear it any longer, and her eyes turned red.

Yet she still maintains the queen's dignity and dignity.

A little lack of patience will ruin a big plan... She just endures it!

Zhou Shiya pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and smiled at Zhou Lingge: "Ge'er, thank you for your generosity in not arguing with Madam Zhou and forgiving her offensive words."

"This bracelet is my apology."

She painfully took off the imperial green jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Zhou Lingge's palm.

Zhou Lingge was flattered and pretended to push: "This... is too expensive..."

"Ge'er is worth it! Don't refuse..." Zhou Shiya made herself smile gently and generously.

"Well... okay!" Zhou Lingge no longer refused and put it on his wrist immediately.

The emerald bracelet looked very beautiful and eye-catching on her snow-white wrist.

Instead of being tacky, it adds a touch of nobility and elegance.

It looks so much better than when Zhou Shiya wore it!

Zhou Shiya thought that Zhou Lingge would refuse again and would not dare to accept it. After all, this bracelet was priceless. It was the first gift that the Queen Mother gave her when she was made queen.

It is said that this was the empress dowager's dowry, and it was extremely precious. There was no other jade bracelet of such high quality and color in the entire Jin Dynasty.

Given Zhou Lingge's previous timidity, she would never dare to accept it, nor would she dare to wear it openly.

But who would have thought that this concubine's daughter only refused at first and then happily accepted it!

She even put it on her wrist right then and there.

Zhou Shiya was stunned for a long while, her heart felt like it was being fried in a frying pan...

The voices of Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Hu were heard outside the hall.

Qin Feiling ordered someone to summon them into the hall.

Eunuch Liu reported, "Your Majesty, we've investigated the matter thoroughly... Eunuch Hu and I found an eyewitness. The palace maid said Qiu Hui fell into the lake by accident, and it had nothing to do with anyone else."

"The imperial physician treated Qiu Hui. After she woke up, she seemed somewhat disoriented. She kept babbling, sometimes calling people ungrateful and vixen-like, and sometimes saying she knew she was wrong and wouldn't do it again."

Qin Feiling waved his hand and asked them to leave.

What is the truth of the matter? Need I say more?

His eyes were cold and fell on Zhou Shiya.

"As the Queen, you are not strict with your subordinates. Queen, you are really disappointing me more and more..."

These words were spoken with great severity. Zhou Shiya's expression changed slightly, and she knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my negligence."

She didn't think about how to deal with Zhou Lingge. After all, she was currently in the emperor's favor, so it was not appropriate to confront her head-on.

She knew Qiu Hui's temper, so she sent her to Yuanchen Palace to deliver a message. She just wanted Qiu Hui to scold Zhou Lingge and vent her anger.

Unexpectedly, things developed into the worst possible outcome.

Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!

Zhou Lingge, such a pretty girl, actually made her fall flat on her face.

Zhou Shiya gnashed her teeth in hatred, but could do nothing... His Majesty was wholeheartedly protecting Zhou Lingge, so she could only swallow all her dissatisfaction and humiliation.

Qin Feiling shook her sleeves and said, "The Queen is pregnant after all. Since she is so weak...she can't take care of many things. It's better to share some of the power in your palace with others."

"I'm also thinking about your health. If you feel more relaxed, you can take good care of your pregnancy!"

Zhou Shiya's face was grim, and she looked up at Qin Feiling: "Your Majesty."

She was his legally married wife, how could he treat her like this for Zhou Lingge?
