Chapter 296 Confession
"If Madam Qian didn't have this ability, the Song family wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to find the person and send her to the Empress. Madam Qian has actually been taking care of the Empress's pregnancy the entire time... Now, the Empress' pregnancy is becoming more and more stable, and her health is gradually improving."
Qin Feiling pondered for a while, he couldn't make up his mind.
After all, Zhou Shiya is about to be crippled now, and she must hate Ge'er to the core. How could she willingly let her confidant treat Ge'er?
Unexpectedly, he had not yet sent anyone to ask Zhou Shiya about this matter.
Zhou Shiya took Nanny Qian to visit the house.
She looked haggard, but in good spirits.
She respectfully greeted Qin Feiling and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from my father that Ge'er is in poor health and all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are helpless. I'm very worried after hearing this... Madam Qian is particularly good at treating various difficult and complicated illnesses for pregnant women. Why not let Madam Qian give it a try..."
Qin Feiling stared at Zhou Shiya's gentle features with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
He still remembered Zhou Shiya's upset and angry look a few days ago when he told her that she would be deposed in a month.
In just a few days, she seemed like a completely different person.
He couldn't help but blurt out, "Queen, don't you hate Ge'er for trying to take your throne now?"
Zhou Shiya sighed, her eyes filled with helplessness. "I was so emotional before because I couldn't accept it, so I was a little upset. But these past few days, I've thought about it carefully, and I realize that Your Majesty has been very tolerant of me... Zhao Jingxue's child was indeed killed by me, and the miscarriages of the other concubines were also caused by me."
"Even if I want to deny these incriminating evidences, they are irrefutable. As long as Your Majesty announces them to the world, I will definitely lose my position as Queen. At that time, I might even be cursed and condemned by the world. Your Majesty's handling of this matter in secret is actually a good thing for me, and I should be grateful."
Qin Feiling raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of surprise.
Has the Queen come to her senses?
Is she going to calmly accept the abolition of the queen's throne and plan to abdicate?
Zhou Shiya knelt in front of Qin Feiling. She admitted her mistake sincerely and even brought up the fact that she had deliberately brought Zhou Lingge into the palace to consolidate her favor as the queen, and therefore drugged her.
"As Ge'er's eldest sister, I did do something wrong."
"If it weren't for my selfish reasons, she wouldn't have been dragged into this vortex in the palace. Thinking carefully, I owe Ge'er after all. This time, let me make it up to Ge'er and regard it as an apology to her."
"I promise Your Majesty that I will never let Madam Qian do anything to harm Ge'er... Within three days, Ge'er will surely wake up. When that happens... I will ask to be deposed as Empress, and I will leave the palace and go to the Buddhist temple to accompany the Empress Dowager and recuperate."
After she said that, she slowly bent down and prostrated herself to kowtow.
She kept a very low profile, as if she really wanted to let go of all her obsessions and choose to let go!
Zhou Lingge was originally in a coma and she didn't know when she woke up. She looked at Zhou Shiya's posture and hurriedly pulled Qin Feiling's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, I have seen my elder sister's sincerity. Let's just trust her for once... I was just dreaming, and I vaguely remembered when I was a child, when I was starving to death, and it was my elder sister who stuffed a steamed bun into my mouth and saved my life."
"I will never forget this life-saving favor. My elder sister and I are blood sisters, so there's no such thing as overnight hatred... Since my elder sister has chosen to let it go, I will naturally forgive her for everything she did in the past."
Her voice was very weak, and she spoke incoherently, almost holding on to her breath.
Qin Feiling was so distressed that she couldn't refuse.
He quickly grabbed her hand and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Shiya hadn't expected that the now frail Zhou Lingge would be so soft-hearted. She lowered her stance a bit, and she actually forgave herself and relaxed her guard.
Zhou Lingge is still the same as before, easy to control... a fool who is fooled around by her.
After all, she overestimated her.
Zhou Shiya held the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was so moved that tears streamed down her face.
"I am truly touched that my sister is so understanding and willing to make peace with me."
She quickly asked Nanny Qian to come in and quickly take Zhou Lingge's pulse.
Nanny Qian lowered her brows and stepped into the inner hall cautiously.
She knelt beside the bed and began to carefully take Zhou Lingge's pulse.
Qin Feiling was watching the whole process from the side, he was really worried.
Fortunately, there were no accidents during the pulse diagnosis process.
After taking Zhou Lingge's pulse, Matron Qian said that evil wind had entered his body and ordinary cold medicine was useless.
If the medicine is not suitable for her condition, it will make her body even weaker.
She is proficient in rare and complicated diseases, and is particularly good at treating diseases related to pregnant women.
She gave Zhou Lingge a little acupuncture and prescribed a tranquilizing medicine, which should be able to cure the disease.
Only then did Qin Feiling feel completely relieved.
He was not very confident in Nanny Qian's treatment, so he sent Chang Hui to assist. If Nanny Qian dared to play any tricks, Chang Hui would definitely be able to see through it.
Fortunately, there were no accidents during the entire acupuncture process.
Nanny Qian held the silver needles and inserted them into various parts of Zhou Lingge's body.
Strangely enough, not long after the needles were inserted, Zhou Lingge felt stronger and no longer looked sick and tired.
After the acupuncture, Zhou Lingge's health gradually improved with the help of herbal medicine.
Chang Hui checked her pulse every day and she never showed any other symptoms.
Qin Feiling was relieved.
Now, he didn't go anywhere and just stayed in Yuanchen Palace, accompanying Zhou Lingge day and night to take care of her pregnancy.
Zhou Lingge's health gradually recovered and her complexion became much more rosy.
No one, whether in the harem or the former court, dared to interfere with Qin Feiling's exclusive favor for the Imperial Noble Consort.
Zhou Lingge naturally used this time to let Qiaoer control the inside and outside of the harem.
Now, no matter which palace, she has trusted spies planted there. Anyone who dares to stir up trouble will not be able to hide from Zhou Lingge's eyes.
Zhou Shiya also calmed down and no longer struggled or resisted because she was about to be deposed. She seemed to have really accepted this arrangement calmly.
Time flies, as fast as running water.
Soon a month passed.
Early that morning, Qin Feiling got up to go to court. Zhou Lingge was sleeping. Suddenly, Qiaoer walked in from outside the hall and gently woke Zhou Lingge up.
"Your Majesty, after His Majesty dismissed the court, the Empress removed her phoenix robe and crown, and wore only ordinary clothes... She knelt outside the Imperial Study. She said she wanted to apologize to His Majesty. She knew her sins were grave, and it was shameful for her to occupy the position of Empress. So, she held up her confession and tearfully begged His Majesty to depose her..."
