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

Thinking of Xiao'er.

Pain flashed in her eyes. This time, she would not lose him. She would give birth to him, raise him well... and be a qualified mother.

That evening, a disturbance arose at Concubine Liu's place.

Qiao Er walked in from outside with a grim expression: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu seems to have a sudden stomachache and has even seen blood."

"The Queen sent for the Imperial Physician to diagnose Consort Liu, and he said she was frightened and her miscarriage was disturbed. But after a long investigation, they couldn't find out what exactly caused Concubine Liu's miscarriage."

"The Empress handed this matter over to Concubine Shu and Concubine Li to investigate. Concubine Shu and Concubine Li suggested searching all the palaces..."

After hearing this, Zhou Lingge couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer.

It takes such a great deal of trouble to search the palace.

They must be absolutely sure that they can find something unusual.

Zhou Lingge curled her lips and chuckled softly: "So, this is their card."

If her guess was correct, then her Yuanchen Palace must be unclean.

Zhou Lingge waved at Qiao'er and whispered something to her.

Qiao'er's eyes were full of disbelief.

But she didn't say much, and immediately began to secretly search the entire Yuanchen Palace.

Unexpectedly, she actually found some clean things.

Qiao'er's eyes were full of indignation as she held a rag doll with a big belly in front of Zhou Lingge.

"My Lady, I never thought that such evil things would be found."

"The birth date and time above are those of Concubine Liu. Someone is trying to frame you, Your Majesty... Normally, our Yuanchen Palace is extremely well-guarded, and few can get in. Yet, someone managed to bury the doll in the courtyard of Yuanchen Palace without anyone noticing... Your Majesty, I suspect there's a traitor within our palace."

Zhou Lingge took the rag doll.

The doll has a bulging belly...and some birth data are written on the back.

It is obvious that this is a curse on Concubine Liu and the child.

As long as Concubine Shu sends someone to dig out the rag doll from Yuanchen Palace, Zhou Lingge will be charged with practicing evil magic in the palace.

Throughout history, evil arts have been explicitly prohibited.

Anyone who touches upon such shady methods will not be forgiven and will be executed immediately if discovered.

No matter if they were people in the palace or common people, once they were contaminated by witchcraft, it was equivalent to offending public opinion and touching upon the feng shui and structure of the court.

This is a major event that concerns the country, the people, and the feng shui of the country.

Zhou Lingge's eyes flashed with a cold light: "This killing move is quite cruel."

This is to force her to death and not give her any chance to escape.

Without any hesitation, she tore off Concubine Liu's birth date and wrote her own birth date on it.

Qiao'er was startled and quickly stopped her: "My Lady, what are you doing?"

This kind of sorcery is sometimes very strange.

It can be said that he kills people without shedding blood.

Don't touch this thing.

Zhou Lingge pushed Qiao'er away, her eyes full of tenacity: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I only believe in myself!"

Although her rebirth is full of confusion.

But she had such a miserable end in her previous life. If there really were ghosts and gods in this world, how could those compassionate Bodhisattvas watch her suffer and die miserably?

In this life, she doesn't believe in anyone, including ghosts and gods, she only believes in herself!

Zhou Lingge wrote down his birth date and asked Qiao'er to put it back in its place.

"They want to harm me... but they must also bear the consequences of the consequences."

She dropped her brush and wiped her long, white fingers with a handkerchief.

"Put it back quickly. It won't be long before Concubine Shu brings people to search Yuanchen Palace. We're almost running out of time..."

Qiao'er immediately nodded in agreement.

It was late at night. She tiptoed out of the inner hall, walked to a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and secretly put the rag doll back to its original place.

In order to avoid suspicion, she took some old soil and covered it on top, stepped on it hard with her feet, and moved some weeds on top.

Qingying saw everything that Qiao'er did.

She huddled in a corner, watching everything silently.

About half a minute later, someone knocked on the gate of Yuanchen Palace.

Concubine Li stood at the palace gate with the palace maids and looked at Zhou Lingge with a smile: "Sister, it's so late, I'm really sorry to bother you."

"It's actually Concubine Liu's pregnancy, which the Empress Dowager values ​​very much. She suddenly lost her pregnancy for no apparent reason, and the Empress Dowager is very anxious. The Empress Dowager sent a message saying that she will return to the palace tomorrow morning. But before she returns, she must find out who is trying to harm Concubine Liu..."

"The Empress has now handed over the affairs of the harem to me and Consort Shu. This palace has no choice but to search all six palaces to uncover the truth... Before coming to Yuanchen Palace, I had already searched Fenghe Palace and Luanfeng Palace, and the Empress and Consort Shu were extremely cooperative..."

Zhou Lingge curled her lips and chuckled, "Could it be that Concubine Li has searched all the palaces in the harem, and now only my palace is left to be searched?"

Concubine Li pursed her lips and explained in a gentle voice, "My sister is now the most favored by His Majesty. She is His Majesty's favorite. I dare not offend her, so... I searched all the other palaces before coming here to search my sister."

"Sister, you should understand... I don't want to be your enemy, right?"

She intended to please Zhou Lingge.

It seems like he is trying to please her.

Zhou Lingge frowned and stood there without moving.

Concubine Shu came over from behind and couldn't help but say, "We've searched the other sisters' palaces. Now the only thing left is Concubine Jia's Yuanchen Palace. But Concubine Jia is so hesitant and secretive. Is she afraid to let us in because she feels guilty?"

Nowadays, the concubines in the harem are either dead or banished to the cold palace.

Now only the Shufei, Lifei, Roupin, Liu Guiren, Xiao Changzai and Yu Chang are left.

Huh... a lot of people died in just one month.

These are all her achievements!

Zhou Lingge suddenly felt a little proud.

As for the rest...their good days are probably coming to an end soon.

So who's next?

Zhou Lingge's gaze wandered between Concubine Shu, Concubine Life, and the two or three concubines standing sparsely behind them.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why didn't the Empress come? With all this excitement, she should have seen it. And His Majesty, for such a big event as the palace search, His Majesty was not present..."

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and replied, "His Majesty has agreed to the palace search. Don't think you can escape the palace search by moving His Majesty out... Concubine Jia, your cover-up is truly guilty. I can't help but wonder if you're hiding something shameful in the palace."

Xiao Changzai immediately agreed, "We've searched our entire palace, and even the Empress has been extremely cooperative. Only Concubine Jia has endless excuses... She's not guilty, so what's she doing?"

"Qiao'er, slap your face." Zhou Lingge sneered, and his eyes swept towards Xiao Changzai like a sharp sword.

How dare a mere maid follow Concubine Shu and laugh at her?

Qiao'er rushed over like lightning, and before anyone could react, she slapped Xiao Changzai hard in the face.

"Yes, that's the strength."

"Keep fighting for me. It's not the place for a mere maid to interfere in my affairs!"
