Chapter 236 Conspiracy
The bright flash of the knife startled Jin Xin and she cried out, "Someone, come quickly... Protect the Imperial Concubine."
She protected Zhou Lingge behind her.
The palace servants quickly gathered around and separated Ling Da Ying and Zhou Lingge.
Ling promised that he had no intention of hurting Zhou Lingge.
She gripped the hilt of the knife and smiled sadly at Zhou Lingge, "Some say... if I can die for love in this life, then in the next life... I will definitely live a happy and fulfilling life with my lover."
"Your Majesty... I hope that one day you can become as brave as I am."
She gripped the hilt of the knife and stabbed it hard into her stomach.
Zhou Lingge's expression froze, "Stop her..."
The lurking guards had been keeping a close eye on Ling Da Ying for a long time, so as soon as Zhou Lingge finished speaking, they rushed to Ling Da Ying like arrows from a bow, and kicked the dagger in her hand away with extremely fast movements.
Ling Da Ying was caught off guard. Just as the tip of the knife pierced through her clothes and stabbed her flesh, a huge force kicked her wrist and broke it. She screamed in pain and cried while covering her wrist.
"what……"
The piercing pain made her face pale and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.
The palace maids rushed forward and controlled her hands and feet.
Ling Da Ying's face was filled with pain, and he struggled violently: "Let me go... Why are you stopping me? Let me die... Don't I even have the right to die now?"
She struggled for a long time, but the palace servants did not let her go.
She raised her head, her eyes crimson as she looked at Zhou Lingge: "My Lady, why are you stopping me? Why don't you let me die?"
She looked at Zhou Lingge with resentment.
Her eyes were burning with fire, as if Zhou Lingge was her greatest enemy in this life!
Zhou Lingge can't stand such ignorant people the most.
Her eyes were extremely cold, and she immediately pushed Jin Xin away.
She walked up to Ling Da Ying, raised her hand and slapped her hard.
"Idiot...if you die...I'm afraid I won't be able to clear myself completely."
"The person behind the scenes instigated you... to commit suicide in front of me. She told you to die, and you went ahead with it? Is your brain a mess? You just do whatever she says?"
Ling Da Ying's head was buzzing from being fanned.
Her mind went blank, and before she could explain, she said, "I..."
Zhou Lingge slapped her again: "You are stupid and ignorant. If you want to die, then go and die far away. But you have to get involved with me before you die?"
She grabbed Ling Da's hair, her eyes full of sinister intent: "Stupid, do you know? You messed with the wrong person!"
Ling Da Ying looked at Zhou Lingge with dull eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her spine.
What a look.
There was no warmth in the darkness, as if there was a knife hidden in it... The knife would shave off the flesh and blood from her body piece by piece, making her live a life worse than death and in excruciating pain.
Ling Da Ying's body trembled suddenly, and some panic gradually filled her eyes.
Zhou Lingge sneered and pushed Ling Da Ying away fiercely.
She slowly rubbed her numb palms.
She looked down at Ling Ying with contempt in her eyes, "You're throwing your life away so casually for the most worthless love in this world. Are you worthy of your parents who gave birth to you, and are you worthy of those who love you?"
"How foolish... Since you don't care about your life, I will fulfill your wish. Come, drag her away."
The palace maid obeyed the order, quickly covered Ling Da's mouth, and dragged her away.
The whole process... was quick, silent, and extremely fast.
Zhou Lingge was breathing heavily and couldn't help but smile faintly.
"The person behind the scenes is quite scheming and actually planned this."
"At first, I couldn't guess what her purpose was. Now it seems as if everything has been answered."
Jin Xin scratched the back of her head in confusion: "My Queen, what should we do next?"
Zhou Lingge straightened her clothes and glanced around.
"Block the news."
"Don't let anyone know that Ling agreed to commit suicide in front of me. From now on, let's just pretend that nothing happened..."
Before she finished her words, she heard a palace servant say, "Your Majesty, someone..."
Zhou Lingge's eyes turned cold: "Catch him. No matter if he's dead or alive..."
The palace servant immediately responded and hurried to chase the fleeing person.
Jin Xin waited nervously.
"Your Majesty... who on earth planned all this? What is her purpose? She's truly too bold. Could it be that all this is aimed at you, Your Majesty?"
Zhou Lingge nodded without comment.
In the past, most of the concubines' tactics against her were overt schemes, where they openly and head-on confronted her. In the end, they all failed and ended up being shattered to pieces.
This time, this person seemed to have learned from the experiences of previous concubines, so he came up with a conspiracy that was linked together.
Oh, noble lady died of poisoning in Yuanchen Palace.
If Ling promised to commit suicide in front of her again... as soon as Ling promised to die, the people behind the scenes would use these two things to spread rumors to destroy her.
What kind of evil concubine is this, a concubine who brings disaster to the country, a concubine who kills people without paying for their lives... Even if she didn't do these things, the final blame will all fall on her.
First, destroy her reputation and make her notorious. The reputation of a demon concubine since ancient times will quickly make things ferment. Even if it is found out that these things have nothing to do with her, I am afraid that the subjects of Dajin will not believe it.
They would only say that Qin Feiling found someone else to take the blame in order to protect her, the evil concubine.
By then, I'm afraid that the deaths of Zhao Jingxue and those concubines who were dealt with before will be blamed on her, the evil concubine.
If Qin Feiling did anything to protect her and try to keep her, he would be labeled as a tyrant who couldn't distinguish between good and evil, loyalty and treachery, and had his mind bewitched by the evil concubine.
If Qin Feiling wants to stabilize his regime, he will definitely be forced by the people of the world to personally deal with this evil concubine in order to stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate his regime.
Zhou Lingge narrowed his eyes and smiled.
I have to admit that this move is indeed extremely brilliant.
Smart... He had fooled her from the beginning.
Jin Xin looked at the palace servants escorting a palace maid over, and her eyes lit up.
"My lady, the man has been caught."
Zhou Lingge raised his eyes and looked at the palace maid who was brought over.
"Send someone to find out which palace she works for..."
"Send someone to interrogate her and see if we can dig something out of her."
Jin Xin immediately nodded in response.
But she was not very experienced in this area, so she tentatively said, "Why not let Sister Qiaoer handle this?"
Zhou Lingge tucked the hair behind her ears and looked at the uneasy Jin Xin.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing and poked her forehead with her armor: "Are you testing me, girl?"
