I am favored by the tyrant, so what if I am vicious?

Chapter 208 Rod Punishment

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I will not do anything absurd or jealous because of such a thing. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will not care about the selection of concubines. Now, I just want to protect our child well and let him grow up healthy and safe..."

Her eyes and eyebrows gently caressed the slightly protruding belly, and a faint trace of maternal instinct flashed in her.

On the surface, she looked calm, but inwardly she was disdainful.

I even felt like laughing.

Qin Feiling's childish question made her realize that this man was already in her hands.

She won't stop the draft though.

However, she would show no mercy to any concubine who infringed upon her interests or wanted to compete with her for the emperor's favor.

The current harem is too quiet and boring. She would feel excited if some fresh blood could come in.

No matter how many beautiful women come in, no one can cover up her radiance.

Since you have entered the palace, you have to compete for favor.

Since she is vying for favor, she must become the emperor's favorite, above everyone else.

She deliberately acted as if she didn't care in front of Qin Feiling. Only in this way could Qin Feiling worry about her, unable to guess what was in her mind, and thus feel uneasy... A little bit of stimulation would bring out the affection hidden deep in his heart.

She had said that she would make sure that this emperor would become a puppet in her hands completely.

She must grab all of his love so that she can have the leverage to make him her weapon to reach the top of the mountain.

Concubine Shu has been very active these days, and she has already prepared to face the enemy. She really wants to know what tactics Concubine Shu will use to deal with her?

She is really looking forward to it!

Qin Feiling should be happy to see Zhou Lingge, who is so gentle... and understanding.

But... for some reason, he just felt a little uncomfortable.

She still doesn't like herself, right?

Otherwise, how could she be so nonchalant and magnanimous?

Qin Feiling frowned and left Yuanchen Palace with a heavy heart to attend court.

He even forgot the morning kiss.

Zhou Lingge didn't care. She curled her lips and smiled, staring at the man's distraught figure leaving. There was a hint of cunning in her eyes.

She tidied her messy hair and lay back in the soft and warm bed.

She lay on the bed and took a nap for a while.

Suddenly she seemed to think of something unusual, she opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

She opened the curtain and said, "Qiao'er, come in for a moment."

Qiao'er responded quickly and walked in from outside the hall.

She hung up the curtains and knelt before the bed.

"My lady, you don't want to continue sleeping?"

Zhou Lingge looked at Qiao'er with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Qiao'er, are you hiding something from me?"

Qiao'er was startled. She looked at Zhou Lingge with confusion in her eyes: "My Lady, I have nothing to hide from you."

Zhou Lingge narrowed her eyes slightly: "Really?"

"I'll give you one more chance... Qiao'er, don't let me down."

Qiao'er's heart trembled slightly. She seemed to have thought of something, but she hesitated and did not speak.

Zhou Lingge's eyes were filled with coldness. She grabbed the teacup at hand and smashed it hard on Qiao'er's forehead.

"You won't tell me? Okay, someone come here..."

"Drag Qiao'er out and give him thirty lashes of the cane."

Qiao'er's eyes were full of panic: "My Lady."

Zhou Lingge's eyes were filled with frost: "Qiao'er, didn't I tell you before that you are not allowed to lie to me?"

"But today, you committed a big taboo."

Qiao Er kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant did not mean to hide anything from you..."

Zhou Lingge raised her hand and interrupted Qiao'er: "I don't want to hear any of your excuses now. You concealed it, and that's it."

Jin Xin led the palace maids into the inner hall.

When she saw the situation in the palace, she couldn't help but be startled: "My Lady, what happened to Sister Qiao'er?"

Zhou Lingge's face showed no sign of mercy. "Drag her away and cane her immediately."

Qiao Er couldn't help sobbing and started crying: "My Lady, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

The palace servants dragged Qiao'er away, and soon the sound of caning was heard outside.

Jin Xin nervously helped Zhou Lingge wash and change clothes.

Zhou Lingge's expression was indifferent from beginning to end.

Qiao'er's screams could be heard from outside from time to time.

Jin Xin was very nervous and helped Zhou Lingge put on clothes.

Zhou Lingge glanced at Jin Xin and asked word by word, "Do you think I'm particularly cold-blooded and heartless?"

Jin Xin quickly shook her head: "No, I don't think so. Qiao'er deceived the queen, so she was wrong..."

Zhou Lingge said nothing more.

After she washed up, she had a simple breakfast.

After breakfast, Qiao'er's caning was over.

Zhou Lingge stood up and left the hall.

She stood on the steps at the entrance of the palace, looking down at Qiao'er who was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

"Do you know where you went wrong?"

Qiao Er was dying. She replied in a hoarse voice, "I know I was wrong. I was wrong in hiding anything from the Majesty."

Zhou Lingge glanced past Qiao'er and at the other palace maids in Yuanchen Palace: "If anyone deceives me again, their fate will be even more severe than Qiao'er's. Although I am usually generous and unconcerned with small matters when it comes to you, my bottom line is that you cannot deceive me in any way."

"If I discover this, I will punish her severely. Come, take Qiao'er away and lock her up temporarily. Do not allow her to come near to serve me again."

Qiao'er was dragged away sobbing and crying.

All the palace servants in Yuanchen Palace knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to breathe.

Sister Qiao'er was so favored, but now she was beaten mercilessly by the Imperial Concubine. It can be seen that the Imperial Concubine is a person who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.

Although no one knew what Qiao'er had hidden from the imperial concubine.

But the news of Qiao'er's punishment spread quickly throughout the harem. Concubine Shu's reaction was huge, with a dark glint of excitement in her eyes.

"Okay, God is helping me."

"Did Zhou Lingge personally hand a knife to me? Yan'er, find a way to contact Qiao'er."

Yan'er immediately nodded in agreement.

Ever since Qiao'er was beaten with twenty boards, she was left alone in the house. No one helped her to find a doctor, and no one made medicine for her to treat her injuries.

She had offended the Imperial Concubine, so naturally, other people did not dare to care about Qiao'er in order to avoid suspicion.

At this moment, Qiaoer felt the cruelty of human nature thoroughly.

She lay on the bed, crying in pain.

Is the Queen completely disgusted with her?

She is really stupid. The queen is so smart, why did she lose her mind and choose to deceive the queen just because she felt sorry for Master Han?
