Chapter 145: Can't Be Emotional
"As long as she's around, I, the concubines, will always be suppressed. Everyone in the harem knows how much our Majesty dotes on the Imperial Concubine... We've endured years of hardship, and even after giving birth to a child, we're only given the title of Imperial Concubine. If we make the slightest mistake, we'll be sent to hell... But Zhou Lingge, she's only pregnant, and she's already been named Imperial Concubine. If she gives birth to a child, won't she be crowned Imperial Concubine, the same rank as a Vice Empress?"
"What a irony... There's not a single woman in this harem who isn't jealous of the Imperial Concubine, and not a single one who doesn't wish her death. Before she entered the palace, the harem was harmonious, and His Majesty treated everyone equally. But as soon as she entered... she stole all the favor, stole His Majesty's heart. If she died, would everything return to normal? I, the concubine, wouldn't have to worry. His Majesty only loves the children she gave birth to, and neglects the eldest princess. What a pity! The Imperial Concubine is so lucky that she was able to escape danger like this..."
The Queen Mother looked at Li with disappointment. Her eyes were full of fatigue and she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Is that why you use such vicious methods to destroy innocent lives?"
Li promised to be fearless and looked at the Queen Mother: "Isn't this enough?"
"The root of all this trouble is Zhou Lingge... She is a demon woman who brings disaster to the country and the people."
Qin Feiling scolded coldly: "Shut up."
"If you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue."
Li agreed and laughed heartily, her eyes filled with madness. "Hahaha, Your Majesty... you look so cold and heartless now. Can you still remember how I looked when I first served you, and when I became pregnant with you and bore your child?"
"Even if you don't like me, I at least gave birth to your child... But for the Imperial Concubine, you ruthlessly belittled me and snatched the eldest princess away from me. Your Majesty, I hate the Imperial Concubine, but in fact, I hate you even more..."
Qin Feiling looked at Li Da Ying in a daze... He looked at her strange and crazy appearance that had lost her mind. He could hardly remember what she looked like when he first summoned Li Da Ying to sleep with him.
He couldn't even remember what it was like when Li agreed to get pregnant and give birth to his first child.
The Queen Mother looked at Qin Feiling's dazed look and could no longer hold back, saying, "As an emperor... you can pamper your concubines, but you can't love them. Emperor, do you understand the meaning of this sentence now?"
"The emperor's love...or hate, is not just about your personal feelings, but about the stability of the harem and the court, and the stability of the country."
Zhou Lingge entered the palace and was promoted from concubine to imperial concubine in just one month.
Such a rapid promotion, not to mention the concubines had some complaints... I guess by now the ministers have been dissatisfied for a long time.
Not to mention the maternal families behind these concubines.
A concubine who is favored by the emperor is enough to disrupt the stability and tranquility of the former dynasty and the harem.
The emperor's love...is sometimes a double-edged sword.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager finally understood why the late Emperor had repeatedly warned the Emperor not to fall in love with any woman.
Qin Feiling's heart suddenly sank.
He suddenly felt anxious.
No...no.
How could all this be his fault for doting on Ge'er?
How can this disaster be blamed on Ge'er?
Qin Feiling was in a daze when Chang Hui suddenly ran out: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has woken up... She has been crying non-stop... She refuses to cooperate with my treatment."
Chang Hui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Qin Feiling immediately rushed into the inner hall. Zhou Lingge was leaning on the couch, his breath weak and his face extremely pale.
She covered her belly with her hands, her eyes filled with tears.
"It hurts, it hurts so much, am I going to die?"
"Send me back... I want to go back. I don't want to stay here."
Qin Feiling grabbed her hand in panic: "Ge'er, let Doctor Chang continue to treat you first, and I will carry you back later, okay?"
Zhou Lingge seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, and her eyes could not see Qin Feiling at all.
She just cried hoarsely, "Go back, I want to go back. I don't want to stay here anymore..."
Qin Feiling was in a panic. He held Zhou Lingge in his arms. The cold body temperature made his heart tremble slightly.
"Okay, go back. I'll carry you back right away."
He turned his head and looked at Chang Hui: "Can we take her back to Yuanchen Palace now?"
Chang Hui nodded quickly, "Of course. I've already given Her Majesty acupuncture and performed some rescue measures... She's stable for now, but if Her Majesty becomes agitated and refuses to calm down, I'm afraid it will really endanger her health and the heir to the throne."
When Qin Feiling heard this, he no longer hesitated and immediately picked up Zhou Lingge and walked out quickly.
When the Queen Mother saw this scene, she immediately stood up and asked, "What happened?"
"I will let the imperial concubine go back to Yuanchen Palace first. The matters here will be left to my mother to handle." Qin Feiling didn't have time to say more. He wrapped his cloak tightly around Zhou Lingge and walked away quickly.
Chang Hui followed closely behind, carrying a medicine box.
Qiao'er supported the seriously injured Jinxin and left.
Qin Feiling held Zhou Lingge in his arms and sat on the dragon chariot, his forehead pressed tightly against hers.
His voice was trembling: "It's okay, I will never let anything happen to you and your son."
Zhou Lingge huddled in his arms, sobbing softly and murmuring, "Go back, go home."
Qin Feiling's eyes were full of heartache, and he hugged her tightly.
"Okay, we'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, I'm here, and I won't let anyone bully you anymore."
Zhou Lingge's eyes were unfocused. She seemed unable to hear what Qin Feiling said and was still immersed in her own world.
The dragon chariot was lifted up and rushed towards Yuanchen Palace at the fastest speed.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Feiling carried Zhou Lingge down from the dragon chariot, stepped into Yuanchen Palace, and entered the inner hall.
Zhou Lingge was still making a fuss: "Go back, I want to go home."
Qin Feiling quickly comforted her softly, "We're back. We're going back to Yuanchen Palace."
"Ge'er, look up... This is Yuanchen Palace, this is your palace."
Zhou Lingge was startled, then slowly raised his eyelids and looked around the hall.
Her eyes were hazy. "No, this is not my palace. This does not belong to me. This is certainly not my home."
"I want to go home...I want to leave here and go back to where I started."
Qin Feiling's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly realized something.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes.
It turns out that when she said go back, go home, she meant leaving the palace and returning to the Zhou family?
Has she never considered this palace as her home?
Qin Feiling felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.
He carefully placed her on the bed and soothed her softly, "Be good first and let the imperial physician treat you. When you're well again, I'll take you home, okay?"
