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

Don't be angry, don't be anxious.

She wouldn't care about this momentary impulse.

The one who laughs last is the biggest winner!

Zhou Shiya curled her lips and smiled gently: "It's okay, then I won't have to kneel down to pay my respects."

After she said that, she bowed to Qin Feiling again.

Concubine Liu followed closely behind and bowed.

Qin Feiling asked them to stand up and gave seats to the Queen and Concubine Liu.

Zhou Shiya sat down slowly, her smile dignified and elegant, completely unconcerned about Zhou Lingge who was sitting side by side with Qin Feiling.

With a serious look in her eyes, she looked at Concubine Li and asked, "I heard that you found a pregnant rag doll in Yuanchen Palace?"

Concubine Li seemed to have found her backbone, and she immediately replied: "Yes, a rag doll that looks especially like Concubine Liu."

"The rag doll is pierced with silver needles..."

After she said that, she asked someone to bring the rag doll to Zhou Shiya.

The rag doll had a bulging belly that was pierced with silver needles, and there was even a drop of blood in the middle of its belly.

The rag doll looks particularly shocking and creepy.

Concubine Liu's face was pale and her eyes were full of fear.

She couldn't help but burst into tears out of fear: "Wuwu... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

She shrugged her shoulders fragilely and covered her slightly bulging belly tightly.

With a pitiful face, he looked at Qin Feiling helplessly and fearfully.

Zhou Shiya frowned and took a look, then she covered her lips and nose with a handkerchief. Her face turned pale, and she looked at Qin Feiling anxiously, her voice trembling.

"Your Majesty... I am deeply apprehensive... Evil practices have always been strictly prohibited in the Great Jin. The person behind this is truly wicked. They are planning to kill both Concubine Liu and Lady Liu without even realizing it."

Concubine Li glanced at Zhou Lingge and said pointedly, "No wonder Concubine Liu suddenly had a miscarriage without any warning... Someone must have used witchcraft on her. Now, this rag doll was found in Yuanchen Palace. Does Concubine Jia have anything to say?"

As soon as Concubine Li finished speaking, everyone in the palace looked at Zhou Lingge.

A hint of smile flashed across Zhou Lingge's eyes.

I guess the person behind this plan must have put a lot of effort into it.

If she doesn't play the role well with him, wouldn't it be a waste of the other person's efforts?

Zhou Lingge immediately held the handkerchief, covered the corner of her lips, stood up, and knelt in front of Qin Feiling.

Her eyes were full of panic, and she hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty...I didn't, it wasn't me."

When Qin Feiling saw her like this, he knew that she was scared.

He frowned and quickly grabbed her hand, helping her up: "Get up, don't be afraid, with me here, no one dares to slander you."

Zhou Lingge's eyes suddenly turned red.

She looked at the doll with its scary big belly.

"But... this rag doll was found in Yuanchen Palace... I have no excuse."

"Your Majesty, what should I do? If anything happens to Lady Liu's child, is it all related to me?"

"I really didn't touch these evil things. I was wrongly accused. Woo woo...

After she said that, she started crying in fear and panic.

Qin Feiling felt a little distressed. He held her in his arms and coaxed her softly.

"Don't cry. I believe you are innocent. It must be that vicious person who buried this thing in Yuanchen Palace to harm you."

Concubine Li, Concubine Rou and others all gasped.

Your Majesty is too protective of Concubine Jia.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, Your Majesty actually wants to exonerate Concubine Jia?

Concubine Li looked at Zhou Shiya with some indignation.

Zhou Shiya looked at this dazzling scene, she clenched her fists tightly, her fingers turning white.

She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself.

"Your Majesty's doubts are not impossible. The discovery of this rag doll in Yuanchen Palace doesn't really prove anything."

"There is indeed a high possibility that someone has framed Concubine Jia. Your Majesty, please give Concubine Li some more time to continue the investigation. Perhaps she will find something different."

Qin Feiling was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the queen would agree with her idea.

He said that just to appease Concubine Jia.

In fact, the rag doll was dug out from Yuanchen Palace, and Concubine Jia is now the biggest suspect.

Putting aside the question of whether Concubine Liu's miscarriage was related to the witchcraft, the mere fact that this evil object was found in Yuanchen Palace is enough to convict Concubine Jia.

However, he knew in his heart that Concubine Jia was definitely innocent in this matter.

She has a simple and straightforward nature and would never do such a sinister and vicious thing.

Qin Feiling was very satisfied with Zhou Shiya's response, and he immediately asked Concubine Li to continue the investigation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Qingying rushed in from outside the hall.

She looked extremely haggard, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were dirty.

She broke through the palace maids' obstruction, rushed into the hall, and knelt down in front of everyone with a plop.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhou Shiya's eyes were filled with astonishment, and she looked at Qingying in disbelief: "Qingying, how did you become like this?"

Qingying's eyes were red, full of grievance: "Your Majesty...I thought that even if I died, I would never see you again."

"Woo woo, Queen, please save me. I don't want to stay in the palace anymore. I want to leave. If I don't leave, sooner or later, my girl will kill me..."

When she said this, her eyes were filled with fear. She immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhou Lingge anxiously.

Then, she kowtowed to Zhou Lingge and begged for mercy as if she had seen a ghost.

"Miss, Lady Jiafei... please spare this servant. Please, for the sake of the master-servant relationship we've shared for so many years, give this servant a chance to live and let her leave the palace."

"Please, I beg you."

She kowtowed as she spoke.

The skin on his forehead was soon broken and a lot of blood came out.

Zhou Shiya looked at this scene in disbelief, and she quickly asked Nanny Zhou to stop Qingying.

"Madame Zhou, please stop her from knocking her head. If she keeps knocking her head like this, she'll die."

Nanny Zhou had red eyes and squatted in front of Qingying, hugging her tightly.

"Qingying, my dear child, how did you become like this?"

"Is someone abusing you in Yuanchen Palace?"

As Nanny Zhou spoke, she slowly rolled up Qingying's sleeves, and the next moment the purple whip marks oozing with blood came into view.

Concubine Li couldn't bear it any longer and exclaimed, "Oh, how could he be injured so badly?"

"Is this how many lashes he received?"

Roupin's eyes were full of sympathy: "How pitiful!"

Zhou Shiya frowned and looked at Zhou Lingge helplessly.

"Empress Jia, you and Qingying have been master and servant for many years. I sent Qingying to your palace because of your close relationship. What on earth is the reason that makes you abuse Qingying like this?"
