Chapter 227 Damn it
Zhao Jingxue inhaled a lot of white powder, and she felt severe pain in her internal organs.
She only knew that it was a deadly poison, but she didn't expect it to be so strong.
Zhou Lingge was so cunning that she actually guessed her intentions in advance...
She wanted to drag her down with her, but ended up hurting herself!
Zhao Jingxue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zhou Lingge was right, she was really stupid.
Black blood kept gushing out of her mouth. She trembled with her arms and said to Madam Zhao at the door of the palace: "Mother... Mother. I... I am an unfilial daughter..."
"Mother...daughter, it hurts."
Madam Zhao cried bitterly. She struggled to break free from the palace maids' grip and wanted to rush in to save Zhao Jingxue.
The palace maids held her tightly and prevented her from entering.
Zhou Lingge was so frightened that her body kept shaking in Qin Feiling's arms.
She spoke intermittently.
"Originally, I was having a pleasant conversation with Concubine Zhao, but she suddenly said, 'It is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace...' She then reached into her bosom, pulled out a porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and poured it towards me."
"I was always on guard against Concubine Zhao, so I reacted in time and swung my sleeve to smash the porcelain bottle onto the bedside. I quickly ran out... I don't know if I inhaled the powder..."
As she was speaking, she suddenly moaned, closed her eyes and passed out.
Qin Feiling was startled, his face pale as he quickly picked her up and placed her on the couch, then asked Concubine Wan to take Zhou Lingge's pulse.
Concubine Wan quickly agreed and took the pulse with her trembling arm.
She didn't feel anything unusual, so she looked at Zhou Lingge's face again.
She looked at Qin Feiling hesitantly, "Your Highness, she should be fine. She might have been frightened."
Qin Feiling breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Zhou Lingge tightly in his arms.
His eyes were filled with rage as he looked coldly at Zhao Jingxue who was spitting black blood in the inner hall.
"Zhao Jingxue...you really deserve to die."
"I shouldn't have given you the opportunity to harm the Imperial Concubine. Do you intend to blatantly poison the Imperial Concubine and harm my heir, regardless of the hundreds of people in your Zhao family?"
Zhao Jingxue couldn't even scream in pain.
She looked at Qin Feiling with tearful eyes, tears streaming down her face.
She opened her mouth.
Countless blood gushed out of her mouth.
Her eyes were filled with despair and pain.
She raised her arm unwillingly and touched Qin Feiling's cold facial features.
She thought back to the first time she met him.
He was dressed in a navy blue brocade robe and waving a folding fan, like a handsome and romantic young man. With a smile on his lips, he gently asked her name under the dazzling lanterns.
The girl's heart fell completely at that moment, and there was no way back.
Later, she found out that he was the Crown Prince.
She ignored the opposition of her father and brother, gave up her position as the mistress of a noble family, and insisted on entering the Eastern Palace to become his concubine.
Over the years, he has been in her heart and eyes.
She loved him obsessively, intoxicated by his love! But she could never get his heart, which was as hard as stone. He was always distant and indifferent to her.
No matter how much warmth she used, she couldn't warm his heart.
She thought that a cold-hearted man like him would never fall in love with any woman in his life.
But when Zhou Lingge appeared, she realized she was wrong.
She saw clearly that the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Lingge was no longer dead... His eyes would glow, and ripples would appear in them. Those ripples would eventually overflow into waves, swallowing up all his rationality and coldness.
Over the years, she tried everything but failed to get into his heart.
Zhou Lingge easily won his love without any effort.
How could she not hate it, how could she be willing to accept it?
She loves madly, to the extreme...if she is provoked a little, she will go completely crazy.
So, she made the stupidest decision of her life.
Zhao Jingxue cried and looked at her mother who was wailing in pain.
She regretted it.
But... there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Because of her obsession, she not only harmed herself but also her loved ones.
Zhao Jingxue finally closed her eyes slowly in regret and unwillingness.
Her cries of pain gradually faded away, and her raised arm fell down and hit the blood-soaked bedding.
Qin Feiling looked at Zhao Jingxue who was gradually dying, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He hugged Zhou Lingge tightly... and quickly asked someone to clean up the white powder, and asked everyone in the Imperial Hospital to check what the poison was.
Chang Hui and others responded and hurried into the inner hall to clean up the white powder.
Madam Zhao struggled desperately to break free from the palace maids, crying in pain and crawling over step by step.
"Xue'er, my daughter."
She watched her daughter die in agony right in front of her.
This is the most cruel punishment in the world.
Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
She didn't know who she should hate.
She witnessed with her own eyes that it was her daughter who wanted to harm the imperial concubine... All of this was her daughter's own fault.
Who can she blame?
Mrs. Zhao hugged Zhao Jingxue's cold body tightly.
Her originally black and shiny hair changed color in an instant.
His hair was black... covered with a layer of white snow.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.
As a mother, she naturally understood that the cruelest thing in the world was to watch her child die tragically in front of her eyes.
She turned her head to look at the scene where Qin Feiling was holding Zhou Lingge carefully.
There was a hint of sorrow in her eyes: "The love of an emperor... ultimately harms others and oneself. Emperor, don't you understand now?"
Qin Feiling's heart suddenly trembled, and he looked up to meet the Queen Mother's gaze.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer.
Those eyes were filled with stubbornness and mockery: "The emperor is also a human being... How can he not have seven emotions and six desires?"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, her heart filled with fatigue and sorrow.
"It has always been difficult to have both the country and the beauty."
"If you really want Concubine Yu's best interest, you shouldn't be so blatant. If you continue like this, she will suffer the consequences..."
Qin Feiling hugged Zhou Lingge tightly.
His eyes were dark.
"I want both the kingdom and the beauty. The more you say I can't have both, the more I insist on having them both..."
"As long as I am here, no one can hurt her in the slightest!"
He didn't waste any more words talking to the Queen Mother. He immediately picked up Zhou Lingge and left Fenghe Palace with firm steps.
Half an hour later, he issued the imperial edict.
Driven by jealousy, Zhao Jingxue attempted to poison the imperial concubine and her unborn son, but failed, so she committed suicide out of fear of punishment. While her entire clan should have been exterminated as a warning to others, due to the Zhao family's unwavering loyalty to the Jin Dynasty and their dedication to their country, Zhao Jingxue was pardoned from all her crimes, retaining her position as a concubine and arranging her funeral as a consort.
Mrs. Zhao led the Zhao family and accepted the imperial edict with tears of gratitude. The people of Kyoto praised the emperor for his benevolence and kindness.
Border military camp.
When the Zhao family father and son heard the sad news of Zhao Jingxue's death, General Zhao Che knocked over the teacup beside him and couldn't help but tear up.
"Xue'er..."
