Chapter 225 The End of the Crossbow
Zhou Lingge was really shocked by Gao Guiren's actions.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She didn't expect that this noble man would be such a brainless person.
She was too lazy to complain.
She glanced at Gao Wen's tall and plump breasts... Haha, it really is true that big breasts mean no brains!
There was silence inside and outside the hall.
Many people watched this scene with gloating joy.
Gao Wen wanted to die.
She originally thought that His Majesty would let go of the imperial concubine, support her very gently, hold her in his arms, and ask her with concern if she was okay.
She never expected that His Majesty would kick her away.
This kick made her lose all face and she would never be able to live as a human being in the harem again.
Qin Feiling then saw clearly that it was Gao Wen, and his eyes were full of annoyance.
"Don't you realize what kind of occasion this is? You're so impulsive and reckless... How can this be considered proper?"
"Come here, drag the noble lady away and arrange for two maids to teach her the rules of the palace."
Gao Wen was so ashamed that she was dragged away crying.
Qin Keqing stood in the crowd, watching Gao Wen being dragged away, a dark light flashed in her eyes.
Qin Feiling was so angry that he hurried to check if Zhou Lingge was hurt.
Zhou Lingge shook his head slowly.
Qin Feiling finally breathed a sigh of relief... He carefully protected Zhou Lingge and found a place to sit.
All the concubines in the hall watched this scene with jealousy.
Your Majesty really dotes on Concubine Yu too much... Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating, what exactly is the difference between them?
Concubine Zhao was lying on the bed, staring at the scene in a daze. She couldn't help but smile miserably.
She was about to die, but His Majesty still only had Zhou Lingge in his eyes.
Over the years, she has been silently accompanying His Majesty. Who is she?
Has she never entered his heart?
Concubine Zhao's breathing gradually became heavier.
Concubine Wan frowned and quickly reminded her: "Princess Zhao, don't get excited. You must stay calm."
Concubine Zhao felt disheartened and slowly closed her eyes.
"I know the condition of my body very well."
"Concubine Wan, you don't need to take my pulse or save me."
Madam Zhao's eyes were red, and she choked with sobs as she said, "Xue'er, what are you talking about? As long as there's still a glimmer of hope, we can't give up. Mother, please, don't leave me, okay?"
Zhao Jingxue shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"I have no regrets or regrets for every step I took before."
"Mom, I'm really tired!"
She turned to look at Qin Feiling: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to the Imperial Concubine... This is my last request, I wonder if Your Majesty can fulfill it?"
Qin Feiling frowned, subconsciously refusing, "What can you and the Imperial Concubine discuss? Just tell me what you want to say. As long as your request is not too excessive, I will do my best to meet your request, considering our friendship over the years."
Zhao Jingxue looked at Qin Feiling with resentment in her eyes and a mocking smile: "Friendship? So these two words still exist between us? I thought... Your Majesty had forgotten it long ago."
She couldn't help coughing a few times.
Qin Feiling didn't care about her mockery and ridicule at all: "If you had behaved yourself, I wouldn't have been ruthless to you. Zhao Jingxue, it was you who, after all... stepped into a desperate situation step by step."
Zhao Jingxue seemed a little excited. She tried to stand up and looked at Qin Feiling with bloodshot eyes: "If Your Majesty is willing to show some love to me, how could I do something wrong out of jealousy?"
"Your Majesty, it is you who are cold-blooded and ruthless, forcing me to this point step by step."
The Queen Mother frowned and immediately asked all the outsiders to leave.
She didn't want this matter to create any rift between the emperor and the Zhao family.
This is of no benefit to the country.
She sat by the bed and gently held Zhao Jingxue's hand. "Princess Zhao, I remember the day you entered the Eastern Palace. I told you not to pray for the emperor's love. If you always want the emperor's love, it's like falling into an abyss..."
Zhao Jingxue was breathing heavily and she raised her hand to point at Zhou Lingge.
"What about her?"
"How could she, a latecomer, receive all the favor from His Majesty?"
Mrs. Zhao was extremely shocked. Her daughter's words and actions were undoubtedly disrespectful.
She quickly stopped him: "Xue'er, I think you are sick and confused..."
Zhao Jingxue's heart was filled with sadness, as if she had walked into a dead end.
She couldn't convince herself, nor could she find peace of mind.
She chuckled softly.
Tears gradually filled her eyes. She looked at Qin Feiling infatuatedly, and then looked at Zhou Lingge... At the end of her eyes, she fell on Zhou Shiya, who had been silent like a transparent person.
"Have you given up?"
Everyone in the hall didn't know who Zhao Jingxue was talking to.
Zhou Shiya's eyes, which had been drooping, slowly lifted up.
The next moment, Zhao Jingxue's gaze slowly turned towards her.
"If I lose to you, I will accept it wholeheartedly..."
"But how can I be willing to lose to a lowly concubine like her?"
"Oh, even if it means death... I would rather die in glory than live in disgrace."
Zhao Jingxue suddenly became very excited, as if she was crazy.
Mrs. Zhao was so scared that she started sobbing and crying.
She hugged Zhao Jingxue tightly: "Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Zhao Jingxue looked at Qin Feiling again.
Her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. "I only ask one last thing of you. I have some things I only want to say to Concubine Yu. Are you really so cruel as to not want to fulfill this last request of mine?"
Qin Feiling frowned. Madam Zhao knelt on the ground and began to beg Qin Feiling: "Your Majesty, please agree to Xue'er's request. She is dying now and doesn't even have the strength to lift her arms. There is no way she can hurt the imperial concubine..."
"Your Majesty, please consider the loyalty of the descendants of the Zhao family who have sacrificed their lives and blood to protect the Great Jin Dynasty for a hundred years. Please also agree to Xue'er's request."
She knew her daughter was doomed.
She didn't want her daughter to leave with any regrets.
Mrs. Zhao's motherly love made the empress dowager's eyes red.
But the Empress Dowager could no longer take care of the Emperor's affairs. She only sighed and looked at Concubine Wan.
Concubine Wan shook her head at the Empress Dowager.
Concubine Zhao was at the end of her strength.
She is beyond help.
Zhou Lingge didn't say anything the whole time. She was secretly observing the situation in the inner hall. Suddenly, she discovered something very strange. Yan'er, as Zhao Jingxue's close maid, was not here.
What does this mean?
Yan'er's identity has been suspected by Zhao Jingxue?
Was Zhao Jingxue's suicide a self-torture tactic?
But this self-torture trick was too realistic. It was obvious that Zhao Jingxue's physical condition was not fake.
She was really terminally ill and at the end of her rope.
While Qin Feiling was hesitating, Zhou Lingge spoke.
"Your Majesty, just agree to Concubine Zhao's request."
There was something strange about Zhao Jingxue's suicide. Maybe she could get some useful information out of her by talking to Zhao Jingxue!
Whatever Zhao Jingxue’s conspiracy is, just make your move!
She wanted to see what powerful move her final blow in her dying struggle would be!
