Chapter 212 Cruel
Chapter 212 Cruel
She was personally selected by His Majesty, so she naturally has an advantage among all the beautiful ladies.
In addition, she was conferred the title of noble lady before she even entered the emperor's bedchamber. If she had been favored, wouldn't she have been directly conferred the title of concubine?
Gao Wen was excited, with a bright dark light flashing in her eyes.
Her bright future is about to come.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Keqing with a hint of pride, waiting for her to gain favor and be made a concubine.
See if she doesn't punish this little bitch.
The other concubines were also extremely excited.
Since the Queen Mother had spoken, they naturally had to find ways to win her favor.
If they could successfully serve the emperor in bed or become pregnant with the emperor's heir, they would soar to the sky and climb completely to the top of the family.
Everyone who participated in the selection knew that His Majesty had few royal heirs.
If she is pregnant with an imperial heir, will the Queen Mother still be stingy with her generous rewards?
The Queen Mother looked at the bright eyes of the beauties and smiled with satisfaction.
After struggling for most of the day, she was exhausted and tired.
She didn't have the energy to deal with the remaining matters, so she let Concubine Wan handle them all.
Concubine Wan smiled bitterly. She had been in the palace for almost two months, but she hadn't even touched the corner of His Majesty's clothes. His Majesty was such a cold-hearted person. She didn't believe that except Concubine Yu, there could be any other woman who could catch His Majesty's eye.
She politely saw the empress dowager off.
He also arranged accommodation for the concubines gently and elegantly.
-
The draft matter has come to a temporary end.
That night, Qin Feiling did not stay in any palace.
He kept Zhou Lingge in Wolong Palace for dinner before reluctantly letting her return to the palace.
Zhou Lingge returned to Yuanchen Palace, and Qiaoer knelt in front of her.
"My Lady, I truly know I was wrong."
Her eyes were full of pleading, and she looked at Zhou Lingge with red eyes.
Jin Xin felt a little reluctant and opened her mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty, Sister Qiao'er has really realized her mistakes these days. Please forgive her. She will definitely never dare to do it again..."
There was a cold look between Zhou Lingge's eyebrows and eyes.
She walked past Qiao'er and entered the inner hall: "Get out and kneel down. I don't want to see you now."
Qiao'er's face was full of sadness.
She sobbed and got up from the ground, step by step out of the hall.
Jin Xin was a little at a loss, and helped Zhou Lingge wash and change clothes with great trepidation.
"My lady..."
Zhou Lingge rubbed his brows, his eyes full of impatience to interrupt her: "If you plead for Qiao'er again, you get out too."
Jin Xin's body trembled, her face turned pale with fear, and she didn't dare to say another word.
About an hour later, it started to drizzle outside.
Zhou Lingge leaned on the couch and turned to look at the raindrops floating outside the window.
Jin Xin bravely said, "Sister Qiao'er is still kneeling outside. Her wounds have only just scabbed over... If she gets caught in the rain, won't the wounds get inflamed again?"
Zhou Lingge frowned and looked at Jin Xin coldly: "Do you feel sorry for her?"
"If you feel bad for her, why not stay with her?"
Jin Xin knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will never say anything more."
"Back off." Zhou Lingge got angry and shouted coldly.
Jin Xin's body trembled, and she quickly agreed. She immediately got up from the ground with sobs and carefully walked out of the inner hall step by step.
Xiao Qiao, who was guarding the temple gate, saw it all.
Her eyes flickered and she smiled faintly with her lips pursed.
This Imperial Concubine Yu is so cold-blooded and heartless that she beats and scolds her trusted maidservant. Can loyalty be bought with money alone?
Oh, such a heartless person will never be able to gain the loyalty of a loyal servant.
Qiao'er knelt outside the hall for half the night.
She was soaked in a lot of rain, and the cold rain seeped through her clothes and soaked her wounds that had finally scabbed over.
The wound gradually began to ache, and my body felt hot and cold.
Qiao'er's body was shaking and her face was pale. Not long after, her eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.
Jin Xin reported this to Zhou Lingge crying.
Zhou Lingge then showed mercy and had Qiao'er carried away.
Xiao Qiao stayed by Qiao'er's side all night. She took care of Qiao'er meticulously and treated her injuries.
Qiao'er was dizzy from the fever and was about to die.
She held Xiao Qiao's hand tightly and cried sadly, "My Lady, why... why are you so cruel to me?"
"I just hid a small thing from you, how could you...how could you be so heartless?"
Xiaoqiao took a wet handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Qiaoer's forehead.
She couldn't help but sigh.
She took care of Qiao'er meticulously for a whole day and night.
In the evening of the next day, Qiaoer finally woke up.
Qiao'er's eyes were filled with confusion as she stared at Xiao Qiao in a daze: "This time, you saved my life again?"
Xiao Qiao said indignantly, "Sister Qiao'er, if you continue like this, you will die."
"The Imperial Concubine is so cruel. How could she do this to you? Sister, are you sure you still want to follow her?"
Qiao'er closed her eyes, and lines of tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Qiao wiped her tears distressedly: "Sister Qiao'er, I really feel sorry for you."
"Since the Imperial Concubine doesn't care about your life, why do you continue to be loyal to her? The Imperial Concubine is so much better than the Imperial Concubine... The medicine that my sister drank at night was secretly sent to her by the Imperial Concubine. Otherwise, my sister's life would be in jeopardy."
Qiao'er was filled with gratitude.
She was somewhat flattered: "Madam Shufei is so kind... I can never repay you for saving my life... I... I..."
There was excitement in Xiaoqiao's eyes, and she thought that the opportunity had finally come.
Now is a good time.
So she immediately leaned close to Qiao'er and whispered in a low voice.
Qiao'er didn't refuse after hearing this, but nodded slowly after hesitation.
After hearing Qiao'er's promise, Xiao Qiao was so excited that she immediately sent someone to convey the message to Concubine Shu.
When Concubine Shu received the news, she was ecstatic.
She couldn't help but pat the table, and looked at Yan'er with burning eyes: "The opportunity has come! Qiao'er finally decided to help us... It's really God's help."
"Yan'er, get ready... I will definitely make Zhou Lingge suffer an irreparable fate."
"Once I've dealt with Zhou Lingge, it will be easy for me to deal with those newly arrived concubines. Haha... I want to see who else dares to compete with me for His Majesty's favor."
"Your Majesty belongs to me alone."
She has loved His Majesty for many years.
She would never allow any woman to take away his love.
Even if His Majesty does not love her, she will not allow His Majesty to fall in love with other women.
In the next few days, Qin Feiling did not come to Yuanchen Palace.
Every day, the Queen Mother would ask the people from the Jingshifang to bring the green card to Qin Feiling early in the morning and ask him to turn over the card.
In order to deal with it perfunctorily, Qin Feiling simply said that he was busy with government affairs and had no time to go to the harem.
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, and she asked the Jingshifang to go there every day without fail.
