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

"Oh my god, I didn't expect His Majesty to be so strong. He's so unsympathetic..."

"What do you know? The more miserable His Majesty is, the more it shows that he likes someone. I really envy you. Why don't I have such a good life...to let His Majesty torture me without mercy?"

"Ahem, I'm envious too! I still haven't been able to sleep with you..."

"Humph, Concubine Jia was so arrogant before, but now someone has finally replaced her, right? I heard that Concubine Ling is more beautiful than Concubine Jia, with a more sexy and graceful figure. Most importantly, Concubine Ling can sing and dance... Men like this type."

"What is Concubine Jia? She's just a straw beauty at best... Your Majesty will get tired of her after sleeping with her a few times."

Zhou Lingge narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed across her eyes.

Huh… Is she someone who can be mocked and humiliated at will?

Did she give the entire harem a huge illusion that she was a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed and humiliated?

Anyone who violates or offends her will die a miserable death!

Zhou Lingge's eyes were filled with sinister intent, and he couldn't suppress the hostility in his body no matter how hard he tried.

The blood in her body couldn't stop roaring... She wanted to see blood, she wanted to kill people!

She turned her head and looked at Qiao'er. "Bring out those two people who spoke ill of me. I want to see who they are and who gave them the courage to criticize me and His Majesty so brazenly."

Qiao'er had been eager to try it, so she agreed immediately.

He rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the concubines who were hiding in a secluded corner and still whispering, along with two palace maids.

"Who, who is hiding there and speaking ill of my wife?"

"You're full of shit, you're committing treason... I'm not going to tear your rotten mouths off."

Qiao'er raised her hand and slapped the two concubines a few times.

Then he dragged them and made them kneel in front of Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge sat on the sedan chair, leaning lazily, staring at the extremely flustered Yu Changzai and Sun Guiren with a half-smile.

"Oh, it's Concubine Sun and Concubine Yu. What were you discussing about me just now? Why don't you tell me again in front of me?"

Yu Changzai's cheeks were swollen from being hit. She fell to her knees, her eyes filled with panic as she explained, "Empress Jia, please calm down. I was wrong... Please forgive me. I will never speak nonsense again..."

However, Concubine Sun straightened her back and refused to kneel down to Zhou Lingge.

She raised her eyes to look at Zhou Lingge and immediately sneered.

"Your Highness, Consort Jia is so arrogant... After all, we are all His Majesty's concubines. Yet you had your maidservant slap us in public. You clearly don't take His Majesty seriously."

Zhou Lingge raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that this Concubine Sun was so tough.

She was not as spineless as Yu Changzai, and she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

She was aloof and proud, her body standing straight...she exuded an attitude of preferring death to surrender.

They didn't say anything too extreme, so she didn't believe that Concubine Jia could kill her?

Haha... He's just a fool who's about to fall out of favor, what is she afraid of?

Zhou Lingge didn't get angry but smiled instead. Her exquisite and beautiful armor gently tapped the backrest of the sedan chair.

Her eyes, tinged with smiles, gazed at Concubine Sun calmly, "If you don't know how Concubine Liu was demoted... then you should also know how Concubine Luo died."

"Noble Lady Sun, I truly admire your courage."

Concubine Sun lowered her eyebrows, her voice full of contempt: "Your Highness, Concubine Jia, your praise is too much. I dare not."

"Your Majesty, you have punished us, but the Empress is still waiting for us to pay our respects. Your Majesty will not kill us just because we said something too much, right?"

She raised her eyes, her eyes full of provocation.

She concluded that Concubine Jia would not dare to punish her severely.

At this critical juncture, His Majesty favored Concubine Ling... This shows that His Majesty has long been tired of this idiot.

Concubine Jia is not as knowledgeable and interesting as Concubine Ling.

What else does she have besides a face?

Haha, Your Majesty is finally tired of playing.

She has the Sun family backing her up... What does Concubine Jia have?

The Queen now regards her as a thorn in her side and wants to kill her. How could the Zhou family possibly help Zhou Lingge?

As long as Zhou Lingge falls out of favor, she will soon die in this harem.

Would she be afraid of a concubine's daughter who had no foundation and had lost favor?

Concubine Sun turned around slowly, almost without waiting for Zhou Lingge to answer.

She then pulled Yu Changzai away.

Yu Changzai staggered to his feet and followed Concubine Sun.

Zhou Lingge narrowed her eyes and stared at the arrogant figure of Concubine Sun... She still remembered that what happened between her and Han Mubai in the side hall was not only the work of Zhang Da Ying, but also the work of Concubine Sun.

"Come here... Since Concubine Sun is so arrogant and unrepentant in her crimes... then I will give her fifty lashes as a warning to others."

"As for Concubine Yu, considering your sincere and positive attitude in admitting your mistakes, I will spare you the punishment."

Concubine Sun was furious. Her face turned pale and she turned to look at Zhou Lingge.

"I am a nobleman appointed by His Majesty himself, how dare you hit me?"

Zhou Lingge couldn't help but laugh in anger. "I'm Consort Jia, several ranks higher than you. How could I not dare to hit you? Think about it, when I and Noble Lady Liu were both concubines, I dared to deal with her maidservants, let alone a mere noble like you now?"

"Qiao'er, execute the sentence."

Qiao'er responded immediately and without saying a word asked two palace maids to control Concubine Sun. She held the wooden ruler without blinking, pressed down Concubine Sun's palm, and slapped it hard.

There was a snap.

Concubine Sun screamed in pain immediately.

"Ah... Concubine Jia, you are so audacious! I am still a concubine, your Majesty's woman, and you punish me like this in front of all these palace maids... You are clearly humiliating me!"

Zhou Lingge sneered, her eyes moving around, and she smiled with her lips pursed, not commenting.

"Yes...I am humiliating you."

"You only found out now!"

"Hit him, hit him hard, don't hold back, don't lose any of the fifty ruler rings."

-

The concubines of Fengluan Palace had already arrived, and they all paid their respects to Zhou Shiya.

Zhou Shiya was in a good mood, so her smile naturally became more genuine.

She gently asked everyone to excuse themselves.

After the concubines sat down, they looked at the still empty seats in the middle of the field.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but say, "Is Concubine Jia not coming again because she's not feeling well?"

"I remember that she didn't sleep with me last night."

Concubine Li couldn't help but curl her lips and smile: "Last night, it was Concubine Ling who served Your Majesty..."

As soon as the three words "Ling Guiren" came out, Concubine Shu's face darkened.

She gritted her teeth secretly, raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Shiya, her eyes full of sarcasm: "The Queen is really amazing. She gave His Majesty another sister."

Zhou Shiya's expression changed and she glanced at Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu curled her lips and her eyes were full of jealousy.

The emperor's favor is said to be great, and the empress often praises the newcomers and deliberately takes away their favor. How can she not hate them?

She was lost in thought when suddenly a palace maid came in hurriedly and reported, "Empress, Concubine Jia is punishing Concubine Sun. It seems she has given her a ruler."

Zhou Shiya's eyes were filled with excitement. She suppressed the emotions that were about to overflow and slowly stood up: "How could Concubine Jia be so unreasonable? How could she punish the concubine?"

"Come on, let's go take a look!"
