Chapter 160 Blocking the Knife
Zhou Lingge pretended not to notice the sullen look on the Queen Mother's face. She smiled and asked softly, "I wonder...what are the Queen Mother and the sisters discussing?"
The Queen Mother stared at Zhou Lingge's beautiful face, and she suppressed the depression in her heart.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that it's time for His Majesty to select his harem. I have already issued an imperial decree to allow the concubines to enter the palace in ten days and begin the selection process."
"Noble Consort Yu, this is a matter of great importance to our family, our country, and the world. I hope you won't be jealous and act in a sour way, lest you lose the dignity and honor of being a noble concubine."
She still couldn't help but warn Zhou Lingge.
Zhou Lingge couldn't help but chuckle. She raised an eyebrow and looked at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will get jealous and cause trouble for Your Majesty?"
"Then you have misunderstood me. In fact, these days, Your Majesty has been staying in my palace every night, and I have been advising Your Majesty every day to treat everyone equally and not neglect the other sisters."
"But His Majesty refuses to listen. He insists on favoring me and coming to my palace. What can I do? I can't just drive His Majesty away and refuse his favor, can I? Your Majesty, rest assured. If His Majesty is truly willing to transfer his attention to other concubines, I would be more than happy to do so."
"Ever since I became pregnant, I've been feeling particularly lazy and I'm really not up to the task of serving Your Majesty."
After hearing these words, Zhou Shiya's face became more and more ugly.
Zhou Lingge is so proud and arrogant!
What did she mean by this? Was this a blatant show-off?
Not only was she showing off, she even had the intention of belittling His Majesty?
How dare Zhou Lingge!
Zhou Shiya's eyes were almost spitting fire.
When the day of the audition comes, she wants to see how Zhou Lingge can still smile.
She will definitely help His Majesty choose a woman who is more beautiful than Zhou Lingge.
Your Majesty likes Zhou Lingge, isn't it because of her charming and alluring face?
The world is so big, she doesn't believe that she can't find someone more beautiful than Zhou Lingge?
Zhou Shiya clenched her fists tightly and secretly made up her mind to search the entire Dajin for a woman more beautiful than Zhou Lingge!
The Queen Mother's eyebrows twitched when she heard this.
She couldn't help but scold Zhou Lingge: "Noble Concubine Yu, the emperor favors you, that is your blessing...not something you can use to show off or mock others."
Zhou Lingge glanced at Zhou Shiya's ugly face, and she felt relieved.
As long as Zhou Shiya is unhappy, I will be happy every day.
She hadn't said that Qin Feiling had been carefully trying to please her and win her favor these days. If she said this, Zhou Shiya would probably be even more unacceptable.
Oh, where are we going now?
Zhou Lingge played with her handkerchief and replied lazily, "But what I said is the truth, right? How could I be showing off?"
The Queen Mother couldn't stand the Imperial Concubine's arrogant attitude. She was so angry that she was about to continue scolding her... but Qin Feiling stepped in from outside.
"Mother, the Imperial Concubine is young and can't keep secrets. She speaks whatever comes to her mind. She has a straightforward personality. Please don't argue with her."
There was some concern in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Lingge.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He walked up to Zhou Lingge and saw that her clothes were a little thin, so he took the cloak that was draped over his elbows and wrapped it around her.
"The temperature has cooled down in the past few days. You're pregnant, so you should keep warm."
"Are you feeling unwell? I guess you haven't had a miscarriage, have you?"
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zhou Shiya's expression became increasingly ugly.
Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Could it be that he came here specifically to protect Zhou Lingge?
He thought that all of them were jackals, tigers and leopards, and that they would devour Zhou Lingge as long as he couldn't see them?
Zhou Lingge is pregnant with the royal heir, so does that mean she isn’t pregnant?
She is still his original wife.
But he simply ignored her and treated Zhou Lingge as if her wife didn't exist, caring for her meticulously.
Zhou Shiya's eyes turned red with anger. She stared at Qin Feiling and almost cried out loud.
The Queen Mother could hardly bear to watch Qin Feiling defending Zhou Lingge.
She gasped and gritted her teeth.
"Emperor...just protect her. She's already domineering enough...you...you actually..."
"Forget it, if you're really worried about her, take her away immediately. Don't stay here and make me upset."
Zhou Lingge leaned softly into Qin Feiling's arms. She tugged at his sleeve and pouted a little aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Queen Mother really dislikes me..."
"I am so frightened... I am so grateful to Your Majesty for loving and protecting me..."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she pointed at Zhou Lingge with shaking arms... What a green tea flower.
It was obvious that Zhou Lingge came here today just to make her unhappy, right?
The Queen Mother was so angry that her head was dizzy. She was swaying and trembling. Zhao Ma immediately supported her arm and said, "Queen Mother, are you okay?"
Qin Feiling naturally knew that Zhou Lingge was acting. He smiled helplessly, and then he saw that the empress dowager's face was pale and she was holding her chest and staggering. His expression changed and he wanted to go forward to check on the empress dowager's condition.
"Mother, don't be angry..."
The incident happened at this moment. Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside and headed straight towards Zhou Lingge: "It's all you who harmed me... I'm going to kill you."
"If we're going to die, let's die together. I'm going to drag you down to hell with me."
A thin man in eunuch's clothes, holding a sharp dagger, stabbed Zhou Lingge's stomach with a ferocious look on his face.
Because it happened so suddenly, Qin Feiling had no time to react.
He quickly turned back and stretched out his hand to block it, but the sharp knife cut a long line on the back of his hand.
He kicked the eunuch away and held Zhou Lingge tightly in his arms.
The smell of blood wafted into Zhou Lingge's nose. He lowered his head and stared blankly at the bloody mark on Qin Feiling's hand.
The bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with fear, and she quickly called for people to come in and protect her.
The eunuch was kicked away, he staggered a step, and stabbed again with the dagger.
Qin Feiling had no time to resist, so he had to hold Zhou Lingge tightly in his arms and use his body to block the knife.
Zhou Lingge's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He just protected her without hesitation?
Does he want his life?
The next moment, there was a "puff" sound... The pain Qin Feiling expected did not come.
A soft and warm body fell on his back.
Then it slid down softly again.
A faint voice sounded: "Your Majesty, be careful."
Qin Feiling's body stiffened. Someone blocked the knife for him?
