Chapter 226 Vomiting Black Blood
After Zhou Lingge's consolation and persuasion, Qin Feiling finally relented.
"I'll be waiting outside the palace. If anything unexpected happens, call me immediately and I'll rush in immediately..."
Zhou Lingge nodded.
Zhao Jingxue's eyes were full of mockery. She smiled rather hurtfully, "Your Majesty is really worried about the Concubine. How could I, a dying man, still have the energy to hurt her?"
"Your Majesty... They say that an emperor shouldn't be emotionally attached. Yet, you have been... Karma is a cycle, Your Majesty, believe it or not... one day you too will experience the feeling of unrequited love."
"No, it's not just Your Majesty, it's also Concubine Yu... She will also experience this."
Zhou Lingge curled his lips and smiled faintly.
Can't love it?
What's so scary about this?
Didn't she experience this feeling in her previous life?
Everyone in the hall left.
The heavy palace door slowly closed, blocking out all the noisy sounds and people.
Zhao Jingxue leaned against the head of the bed, smiling as she stared quietly at Zhou Lingge's face.
"The most beautiful woman in the world, captivating the whole city, the whole nation, and everyone's heart... Oh, Zhou Lingge, with this stunning beauty, you have won the love that every woman in the world desires..."
"But when I look at you, I feel like you're not happy."
Zhou Lingge slowly walked in front of Zhao Jingxue.
She sat down slowly.
She flicked her sleeves gracefully, curled her lips and smiled faintly at Zhao Jingxue: "Tell me, what exactly was your plan when you hanged yourself this time?"
"You trapped me and yourself in this inner hall in this way. What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhao Jingxue's eyes trembled slightly.
Her fingers gripped the quilt tightly.
"Someone told me... that the Zhao family is about to be destroyed... and I am the only one who can save the Zhao family."
"If I die, I can help the Zhao family out of their predicament and save hundreds of my Zhao family members."
Zhou Lingge frowned and looked at Zhao Jingxue with a serious look.
"Someone?"
"Who is that person?"
"Even when you were demoted to a concubine yesterday, you couldn't even entertain the thought of hanging yourself. Why did you change your mind in just one night? Zhao Jingxue...don't be foolish. Don't let a simple word from someone else lead you to a dead end."
Zhao Jingxue's eyes turned red and she looked at Zhou Lingge in surprise.
"From the sound of your voice, you don't want me to die?"
"How is this possible? You've never been kind to anyone in this harem. You've exploited the emperor's favor to eliminate one annoying person after another. You wouldn't even let the Empress go... And now, you're actually saying these words to give me a warning?"
"Zhou Lingge, what kind of person are you?"
Zhou Lingge chuckled, and the light in her eyes gradually disappeared.
She stared into the void, her face filled with desolation: "I don't know what kind of person I am."
"But I know... the Zhao family is a family of loyal emperors. They shouldn't be drawn into any conspiracy or intrigue. Your father and your brothers sacrificed their lives for the Great Jin... They are the shield and armor that protects the Great Jin. Only when your Zhao family is safe can the Great Jin be safe... Only when the Great Jin is safe can my child's future be secure..."
Zhou Lingge said this, raising her hand and gently stroking her belly.
Zhao Jingxue's eyes were a little dazed, and she looked at Zhou Lingge in a daze.
She didn't get along well with Zhou Lingge on weekdays, but this time, she seemed to see another face of Zhou Lingge.
Now she is gentle and soft, and the aura of motherhood surrounds her.
Zhao Jingxue couldn't help but laugh foolishly: "There's no one else here, why are you pretending to be so hypocritical in front of me?"
"Zhou Lingge, you wish I were dead immediately, you wish the entire Zhao family would be destroyed..."
Zhou Lingge felt like he was really talking to a cow.
She couldn't imagine that a family of generals would have a daughter as stupid as Zhao Jingxue.
She concealed the tenderness in her eyes, raised her hand and pinched Zhao Jingxue's jaw fiercely.
A hint of success flashed across Zhao Jingxue's eyes, and she quietly reached into her arms.
Zhou Lingge narrowed her eyes slightly, and she smiled coldly, taking in all her little movements.
As expected... it is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace.
Did this idiot Zhao Jingxue intend to die together with her?
Zhou Lingge sneered.
She grabbed Zhao Jingxue's wrist and slapped her in the face.
“Idiot…you want to drag the Zhao family to die with you?”
"Zhao Jingxue, you're truly foolish. You can seek death if you want... but don't ruin this for me. Do you want to create the illusion that I've harmed you, so your father and brother can avenge you?"
"Or are you planning to take advantage of this rare opportunity of our being alone together to harm my unborn royal heir? Zhao Jingxue, no matter what scheme you use, I have seen through your conspiracy, and all your plans will ultimately fail."
"I won't give you any chance to play chess..."
Zhao Jingxue's head was buzzing from the hit she received. Before she could react, Zhou Lingge quickly tore open her clothes and held a carved porcelain vase in his palm.
Zhao Jingxue looked at Zhou Lingge with a dazed mind, her pupils trembling slightly, "You...you..."
Zhou Lingge took a step back and shouted outside the palace: "Your Majesty... quickly summon the imperial physician."
After she said that, she pulled open the cork of the bottle and smashed it hard against the head of the bed.
With a snap, the porcelain bottle shattered and a thick powdery white mist emerged.
Zhao Jingxue was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth and nose, but the broken part of the porcelain bottle was very close to her, so she inevitably inhaled some powder.
She couldn't help coughing softly.
Zhou Lingge covered his mouth and nose and retreated out of the hall.
When Qin Feiling heard the noise inside, his eyes were full of anxiety and he quickly pushed open the door of the hall.
Zhou Lingge crashed into his arms.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked up at Qin Feiling in panic and helplessness: "Your Majesty, don't go over there."
"Immediately have someone seal off Fenghe Palace and send the imperial physician over. Quickly, we must do it quickly."
Qin Feiling was startled. He quickly hugged Zhou Lingge in his arms and did not dare to take another step forward.
Mrs. Zhao didn't understand what was going on and wanted to rush into the hall, but Zhou Lingge immediately had someone stop her.
The Empress Dowager was also extremely shocked... Concubine Wan supported the Empress Dowager and looked towards the inner hall frequently.
Her nose was very sensitive and she suddenly smelled an unusual smell.
"This smell... seems like a very toxic powder."
"No one, please don't come near... don't enter."
Qin Feiling hurriedly checked on Zhou Lingge, he was extremely panicked.
"Ge'er, did you smell the powder?"
Zhou Lingge quickly shook her head: "Fortunately, I dodged quickly, otherwise, I would have been killed by now."
Qin Feiling's face turned pale.
Mrs. Zhao suddenly saw Zhao Jingxue spitting out black blood. She fell to her knees and burst into tears: "Xue'er, someone come, hurry up and save my daughter."
