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

"Zhou Lingge doesn't love Your Majesty at all. She's cunning, greedy, and despicable... She only cares about the power Your Majesty holds. Why doesn't Your Majesty understand? I'm the only one who loves Your Majesty... Why doesn't Your Majesty love me? For him, I willingly entered the palace, willingly had my wings clipped, and trapped here."

She clearly had a pair of wings that could soar into the sky, but for him, she was willing to damage her wings and become a bird in his cage.

She was sincere to him, why couldn't he see it?

Yan'er didn't know how to comfort Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu was tired of crying and collapsed to the ground... without moving.

She won't admit defeat.

She would not hand over His Majesty to Zhou Lingge.

She must tear off Zhou Lingge's false beauty.

Suddenly, a palace servant ran in in a panic: "My Lady Concubine Shu... a palace servant brought poisoned wine to the cold palace..."

Concubine Shu's face turned pale, "Luo agreed."

She didn't care about being sad anymore. She quickly wiped her tears, got up from the ground, and stumbled towards the cold palace.

Luo Da Ying was secretly delighted that she could save her life, but not long after she entered the cold palace, two eunuchs brought her a cup of poisoned wine.

Luo Da Ying turned pale and looked at them in shock: "What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty has not ordered my death. Are you being instructed by someone to take my life?"

The two eunuchs scoffed, "This is a decree from His Majesty himself... Luo Da Ying is really overthinking it... Without His Majesty's order, who would dare to so blatantly give poisoned wine?"

"Luo, just promise to drink it obediently, so we don't have to waste any effort... and you can also suffer less."

Luo agreed and shook his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"No... Impossible. How could His Majesty possibly sentence me to death? I... My crime doesn't deserve death... I simply instigated Zi Yan to deal with Concubine Jia... I didn't ask her to kill Concubine Jiang... She was vicious on her own, what does that have to do with me?"

"Your Majesty, you can't blame me for all this. I've been by your side since he was still the crown prince... After all these years of friendship, how could he possibly order me to die just because he wants to?"

"You must have made a mistake, or is it that Concubine Jia is angry and bribed you to kill me? I want to see His Majesty... I want to tell His Majesty that Concubine Jia wants to harm me."

The two eunuchs looked at each other, their eyes full of contempt and ridicule.

"He must be crazy, right? He's started talking nonsense..."

"Hurry up and deal with it so we can report to His Majesty."

"Yes, hurry up. Concubine Jia was injured, His Majesty was furious, and that slave girl Zi Yan died. His Majesty has nowhere to vent his rage, so naturally he will blame Luo Da Ying."

"Oh, it's all her own fault! She actually had the guts to instigate others to harm Concubine Jia. She's not innocent either."

As the two young eunuchs spoke, they approached Luo Da Ying step by step with the poisoned wine.

Luo agreed, shook her head, and dodged backward... One of the eunuchs grabbed her arm and controlled her hands and feet.

Another eunuch quickly held the wine cup and brought it to Luo Da Ying's mouth.

Luo agreed and looked at the poisoned wine...her eyes were full of fear.

She cried hysterically, "No, I don't want to drink... I don't want to die."

"Please, let me go."

"Well……"

When she opened her mouth to cry, the eunuch seized the opportunity and poured poisoned wine into her mouth.

Luo promised to struggle hard, but it was in vain.

The cold wine poured into her mouth, slid down her taste buds, and entered her stomach, intestines, and lungs.

There was despair in her eyes.

I lost all my strength in an instant.

The eunuch released her hands and feet, and she fell limply to the ground.

She reached for her throat.

There was a burning pain in her throat... No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't spit out anything.

Luo Da Ying was like a trapped animal on the verge of death. She stretched out her hands to grab the eunuch's robe and begged in a hoarse voice: "Save me, save me."

The eunuch had a cold look on his face. He pulled out his robe, slowly turned around and left the cold palace.

Not long after they left, Concubine Shu staggered in from outside.

Her clothes were disheveled and her black hair was loose.

She looked extremely disheveled. Where was the trace of her usual dignified and noble appearance as a palace concubine?

She rushed into the cold palace and saw Luo Da Ying lying on the ground, covering his throat and screaming in pain.

At this moment, Concubine Shu was heartbroken.

She rushed over and hugged Luo Da Ying tightly.

Dark purple blood began to seep from the corners of Luo Da Ying's mouth.

She looked at Concubine Shu with blurred vision.

She clutched Shufei's sleeve tightly: "Sister Shufei... I... I don't want to die. You... you save me..."

Concubine Shu cried out in agony, "Okay, I...I'll save you. Don't be afraid, I'll send for the imperial physician. Luo promised, you hold on."

She turned her head and yelled at Yan'er, "Go get the imperial physician, get the imperial physician."

Yan'er's eyes were filled with fear, "Your Majesty...it is His Majesty's will to sentence Luo to death. We...we cannot disobey the imperial decree."

Shufei's eyes were bloodshot and she scolded hysterically.

"I asked you to call the imperial physician, so go... I will bear all the consequences. Go, go quickly."

Yan'er stamped her feet. Unable to persuade Concubine Shu, she had to turn around and run out.

Luo agreed and smiled happily.

She lay in Concubine Shu's arms, looking up at her tearful face. "Sister Concubine Shu... do you remember when we first married into the Crown Prince's Mansion? Back then, you were a concubine, and I was just a small maid. I was the first to serve the Crown Prince, so the Crown Princess was a little jealous of me. She deliberately tortured me and found a small excuse to punish me by making me kneel in the sun for three hours."

"Those three hours of kneeling nearly crippled my legs... Later, I caught a cold and was bedridden, nearly dying. If you hadn't taken pity on me and summoned the imperial physician, I'd have died long ago. Sister... I've wanted to call you sister for a long time. You shouldn't be trapped in the palace. Your world isn't the red walls of this quadrangle. You possess martial arts skills... You're a daughter of a general. You should wear armor, wield a silver spear, and fight like a man on the battlefield."

Concubine Shu couldn't stop crying, her heart was broken as if by a knife.

Holding Luo Da Ying tightly, she felt heartbroken.

"Luo promised not to leave me... You have been with me for so many years. Because of you, I will not feel lonely in this deep palace. If you leave, what should I do?"

“I was really afraid I was going to go crazy.”

Since she entered the Eastern Palace, she has been on the same side as Luo Da Ying.

Over the years, no matter what she went through, Luo promised to stand by her and accompany her all the time!

Whether you cry or laugh.

Luo's promised companionship has become a habit.

Luo Da Ying's breath gradually weakened, and she knew her time was up.

She looked up at the palace bells hanging under the eaves outside the hall, fluttering in the wind.

"If there's an afterlife... I... I really hope I don't enter the Eastern Palace. Don't become His Majesty's concubine... Our Majesty is a heartless man. No one in this world is as ruthless and cold-blooded as he is..."
