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

Zhou Lingge curled his lips indifferently.

Does Concubine Shu think that these words can make her angry and furious?

Too bad she doesn't buy it.

She stared at Concubine Shu's once heroic eyes, now twisted beyond recognition by jealousy. "Look at what Concubine Shu is saying... it sounds like she's trying to sow discord. The Empress, after all, is the mother of a nation. She's pregnant and had a miscarriage... Isn't it only natural for Your Majesty to be more considerate of her?"

"If Your Majesty turns a blind eye to his wife and children, wouldn't that be extremely cold-blooded and heartless? Your Majesty and the Queen have been married for many years. Isn't it normal for him to care about the child in his eldest sister's belly?"

Concubine Shu sneered: "I hope you think so in your heart... You are just a tool for the Queen to consolidate the power of your Zhou family. Oh, it's really pitiful when you think about it."

Zhou Lingge smiled very gently.

He replied unwillingly.

"Sister Shufei should have served His Majesty for about the same amount of time as the Empress, right? The Empress is already pregnant, so why hasn't Sister Shufei made any move yet?"

"Oh, by the way, I think I heard someone say that Sister Shufei was once pregnant, but unfortunately, the baby was already formed when the fetal heartbeat suddenly stopped... From then on, Sister could no longer get pregnant and give birth to a child. Alas, if we talk about pity, Sister is still the more pitiful."

"Fertility is so important to a woman... If you can't have children, what kind of woman are you?"

Shufei's eyes were filled with resentment. She was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge didn't stop her, but instead put her cheek in front of her and said, "Hit me, hit me hard... If you hit me, I can go to His Majesty and complain."

"Now that my sister is in the emperor's favor, I wonder... who will His Majesty favor when the time comes?"

Concubine Shu's chest heaved violently with anger.

She gritted her teeth secretly and resisted the urge to swing her hand.

Of course, she couldn't hit Concubine Jia in public.

Otherwise, His Majesty would definitely vent his anger on her.

She couldn't let His Majesty become alienated from her any longer.

She would not fall for Concubine Jia's trick of provoking her.

"Hmph, I want to see how long you can keep your arrogance. Zhou Lingge, we'll see!"

After Shufei finished speaking harshly, she left angrily.

Zhou Lingge leaned back on the sedan chair, staring at Concubine Shu's departing figure. She curled her lips and smiled faintly.

How long will this arrogance last?

Haha, she will naturally be arrogant to the very end!

She will become the most unshakable figure in the harem, reaching a height that no one else can look up to.

When Concubine Shu left, Concubine Sun endured the pain in her hands, quickly got up from the ground, and planned to leave quietly.

She is bound to suffer the loss today.

She didn't dare to confront Concubine Jia head-on again.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lingge laughed and said, "Lady Sun, our feud is not over yet, why are you leaving?"

Concubine Sun's body stiffened, and she looked at Zhou Lingge in a daze with fear in her eyes.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Zhou Lingge slowly stood up and finally got off the sedan chair.

She approached Concubine Sun step by step.

Concubine Sun was frightened after being beaten, and she is now extremely afraid of Zhou Lingge.

She stumbled back.

Every time Zhou Lingge took a step closer, she took several steps back.

Qiao'er sneered, blocked her way and pushed her towards Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge raised her hand, grasped her arm tightly, and spoke word by word, "Lady Sun, at the palace banquet yesterday, Zhang promised to have an affair with a guard, but the palace servants guarding the side halls said that I and Young Master Han were there... Tell me, is this a setup to harm me?"

Concubine Sun's scalp suddenly felt numb.

Why did Concubine Jia bring up what happened at the palace banquet yesterday?

Did Concubine Jia find out something?

No, it's impossible.

She thought she had done it perfectly, Zhang promised not to betray her, and Concubine Jia would never know that what happened in the side hall yesterday was related to her.

Concubine Sun's voice was choked with sobs, and she cried with great grievance, "I...I don't know what you mean, Concubine Jia. What happened in the side hall yesterday has nothing to do with me..."

Zhou Lingge curled his lips and chuckled: "Really?"

"It really has nothing to do with you? What if Zhang agrees to testify against you?"

Concubine Sun's eyes were filled with fear: "I am innocent, Concubine Jia, you can't blame all the mistakes on me without any evidence."

"I did offend you today, but you hit me anyway... My hands are practically broken. Are you still angry and unwilling to forgive me?"

"Don't tell me, you have to let me die before you can calm down?"

Zhou Lingge couldn't help but sneer.

"You're being stubborn... Are you so sure that Zhang promised not to betray you?"

"I hate it most when someone plots against me... Yesterday, I was smart and luckily escaped that disaster. If I hadn't, I'm afraid I would have been banished to the cold palace and executed without anyone noticing."

There was a bloodthirsty gleam in her eyes.

All day and night, she was thinking about how to pry open the mouths of Zhang Da Ying and Sun Gui Ren.

All those who want to harm her and plot against her will go to hell.

She said that she would kill anyone who dared to bully her.

Zhou Lingge let go of Concubine Sun and wiped her palms with a handkerchief: "Go away, cherish this last moment of your life today."

Concubine Sun's face turned pale. "You...what do you want to do?"

Zhou Lingge raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of hostility and coldness.

"Of course, there are grievances to be repaid and revenge to be exacted."

"Each of you...no one can escape."

She shook her sleeves, turned around, and sat back on the sedan chair.

Qiao'er asked the palace maids to lift the sedan chair.

Zhou Lingge leaned on it, looking down at Concubine Sun with a bit of contempt. She sneered and walked away.

Concubine Sun felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. The look in Zhou Lingge's eyes when he looked at her just now was truly terrifying.

It was like Yama who wanted to take her life.

Concubine Jia knew... knew about what happened in the side palace, and knew that she was involved!

Concubine Sun was shaking like a sieve and stumbled away.

Zhou Lingge returned to Yuanchen Palace in a sedan chair.

Qiao Er asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, the Queen is having a miscarriage, and all the harem are in Fengluan Palace. Is it really okay for us not to go with them?"

Zhou Lingge sighed and leaned lazily on the beauty couch.

She held a round fan in her hand, smiled and said, "The Queen has had a miscarriage... I have also caught a cold. I am so ill that I can't get up..."

As she spoke, she began to cough.

"This cold I have is contagious. If I go to see the Queen and pass it on to her, I'll be committing a sin."

Qiao'er's eyes flickered, and she immediately understood what Concubine Jia meant.

"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant move. If His Majesty knew you had caught a cold, he would definitely come to see you."
