"We all depend on him to survive... Sister, you can pray for his favor, but you can't expect his love. Sister, I beg you... don't love him anymore. Loving the emperor is the most foolish thing. Loving the emperor is like walking down a road... of death... of death."

Luo agreed to the end, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Concubine Shu painfully: "Sister... take good care of yourself... take... take care of yourself, I... I will go first."

After saying this, Luo agreed and slowly closed his eyes.

Her hand that was holding Concubine Shu's sleeve slowly dropped down.

Concubine Shu wailed in pain, growling hysterically, "No, no."

"Don't leave me."

Unfortunately, no matter how she screamed and shouted, Luo promised that he would never give her any response again.

At this moment, she was heartbroken.

She just held Luo in her arms and agreed in a daze.

She could feel Luo Da's body gradually getting colder in her arms.

Crystal clear tears kept sliding down from the corners of my eyes.

"Sister, don't leave me."

"It's all my fault. I've implicated you. You shouldn't be the one to die..."

The air was filled with suffocating despair.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but curl her lips and laughed.

The laughter grew louder little by little.

She couldn't control herself and laughed wildly like a madman.

Yan'er arrived late with the imperial physician.

She looked at Luo Da Ying, who had already died in Concubine Shu's arms.

She felt very sad.

She squatted down and said, "My lady, please accept my condolences."

Concubine Shu's eyes were bloodshot as she turned to look at Yan'er: "Excuse me? How can I express my condolences? Luo Yingying could have been saved...but His Majesty executed Luo Yingying just to vent his anger on Concubine Jia. I hate...I hate His Majesty and Concubine Jia..."

She hated everyone in the harem.

She is really in pain now!

But she can't be the only one suffering.

She wants to make everyone feel pain...

Yan'er's eyes were filled with fear, and she turned to look at the imperial physician standing not far away.

"My lady, you are so sad that you are talking nonsense."

A sudden darkness came over Concubine Shu's eyes, she closed her eyes and fell backwards.

Yan'er screamed and quickly supported Concubine Shu.

-

Zhou Shiya sat in front of the dressing mirror, stroking the tiny, inconspicuous fine lines at the corner of her eye.

Not long after, Nanny Zhou came in from outside with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, Luo Ying is dead! Concubine Shu was so grief-stricken that she passed out."

Zhou Shiya raised her eyebrows and chuckled softly.

"Is the tail cleaned up?"

Nanny Zhou nodded confidently, "No one will doubt... that it was you, Your Majesty, who sent someone to hasten Luo Da Ying's death."

"When Eunuch Liu arrived with the imperial physician, Luo Da Ying had already died...and Concubine Shu had also fainted."

Zhou Shiya sneered.

She flicked her sleeves and stood up from the chair.

"Have the news about the cold palace suppressed. Do not let Concubine Shu know... that His Majesty once wanted to spare Luo's life."

Madam Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have silenced anyone who knows about this."

Zhou Shiya nodded.

She sat lazily on the phoenix chair, holding a round fan in her hand and gently waving it.

She suddenly remembered something and her face turned ferocious and crazy.

"Your Majesty truly dotes on Zhou Lingge. With just one word from her, he changed his will... and easily pardoned Luo Yingda's death sentence."

She had placed people in Wolong Palace, so she knew about this matter first.

The poisoned wine given to Luo Da Ying was not that strong. If consumed in such a short time, it would not have caused her death so quickly. If Eunuch Liu had brought the imperial physician to the scene in time, perhaps Luo Da Ying's life could have been saved.

Zhou Shiya knew better than anyone that this was a good opportunity to make Concubine Shu completely hate Zhou Lingge.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she certainly won't miss it.

So she asked Madam Zhou to secretly replace the poison with a stronger one.

After drinking the poisoned wine, Luo Da Ying soon died of the poison.

Eunuch Liu rushed there with the imperial physician, but it was too late.

Nanny Zhou frowned, "Jiapin risked her life today to block a blow for His Majesty... His Majesty will probably love Jiapin even more. Jiapin was already favored, and now... this favor will probably only grow stronger."

Zhou Shiya gnashed her teeth in anger: "This bitch is just like her singing mother, always using some seductive tricks to bewitch men."

"I will never allow Jiapin to completely steal His Majesty's heart like this."

She suddenly thought of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked up at Aunt Zhou: "By the way, has Han Mubai really been seriously ill these days?"

Nanny Zhou nodded slowly: "He is really seriously ill... I heard that he can't get up at all."

Zhou Shiya's face was filled with emotion: "Zhou Lingge is so lucky. These men are all obsessed with her... He is the grandson of the Grand Tutor, but now he has been hurt like this because of her."

"She has let Han Mubai down. Doesn't she really have to pay a price? Haha, I guess the Han family has already hated Zhou Lingge. She can forget about being His Majesty's concubine."

"Madam Zhou, please have someone tell Consort Shu about Zhou Lingge and Han Mubai's affair. Given how much she hates Zhou Lingge now, I don't believe she will remain indifferent."

Nanny Zhou sincerely admired Zhou Shiya: "Your Majesty is wise. No matter what the outcome is...it won't involve us."

Zhou Shiya curled her lips, narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Shufei's knife has been sharpened to an extremely sharp point... We must make the best use of it."

"In five days, it will be my birthday. I am pregnant with the heir, and for the sake of the child, I must hold a grand birthday banquet... Since entering the palace as empress, I have never been extravagant. I'm sure Your Majesty will not object to holding a palace banquet this time, right?"

Nanny Zhou nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty will naturally not object."

"Then we'll have an excuse to bring the Queen Mother back to the palace."

Zhou Shiya was in charge of the overall plan...and her mood instantly became better.

"The Empress Dowager hates concubines who flirt with the monarch the most... Zhou Lingge's good days are over."

"On the day of the palace banquet, I will give her a great gift. Madam Zhou, remember to invite the Han family to the banquet, especially Han Mubai. Make sure he comes as well. If he is too ill to get up, send the imperial physician to treat him."

Nanny Zhou naturally understood what the Queen was planning.

She nodded immediately!

Wolong Hall.

The wound on Zhou Lingge's shoulder blade has been treated.

But she still felt very painful. Even after applying some painkillers, her little face was still wrinkled and she didn't feel comfortable at all.

Her eyes were red and sparkling with tears. She tugged at Qin Feiling's sleeve pitifully and sobbed softly.

"Your Majesty, I am in pain."

“It really hurts!”
