Chapter 281 strangle to death
When Chang Hui said this, he looked at Concubine Wan with a gloomy expression.
Concubine Wan's face turned pale in an instant.
After listening to the conversation between Chang Hui and the imperial concubine, Nanny Lin finally came to her senses.
She immediately realized that something might be wrong.
She quickly grabbed the sleeve of the empress dowager who was still cursing the imperial concubine.
"Empress Dowager, something seems amiss... Imperial Physician Chang says His Majesty has been poisoned, not the disease that Concubine Wan claimed."
No matter how stupid the Queen Mother was, she naturally noticed something strange at this moment.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment: "What, the emperor was poisoned?"
Concubine Wan quickly lowered her head, hardly daring to look at the empress dowager.
Zhou Lingge handed the porcelain bottle to Chang Hui and asked him to check the medicine in the bottle.
She looked at the guilty Concubine Wan and sneered, "I didn't expect that you, Concubine Wan, who usually looks clear-headed, would lose your mind at the critical moment and be used as a pawn."
She had to admit that Qin Keqing's means of bewitching people were extremely powerful.
Chang Hui quickly checked the pills in the porcelain bottle.
"Your Highness, this pill can completely cure the poison in His Majesty's body..."
Zhou Lingge breathed a sigh of relief and asked Chang Hui to feed the pill into Qin Feiling's mouth.
The Queen Mother calmed down now and gradually realized that something was wrong.
She rushed to Concubine Wan and slapped her in the face: "You...why did you lie? Why did you deliberately say that the emperor was infected with the disease?"
"Concubine Wan, I trust you so much, how dare you lie to me?"
Concubine Wan didn't expect that the matter would be exposed like this.
She was extremely panicked.
She quickly cried and explained to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to lie... I just love Your Majesty so much, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time alone with Your Majesty."
"I have not done anything detrimental to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"I love Your Majesty deeply, so I will never hurt you..."
Zhou Lingge stared at Concubine Wan's tear-stained cheeks and asked word by word, "What was the effect of the medicine you just gave His Majesty?"
Concubine Wan's eyes were a little evasive.
She whispered back, "It's...it's medicine for treating colds."
"You already knew that His Majesty was not infected with the epidemic, so why did you feed him medicine for the cold? Ye Wanxi, you are lying!" Zhou Lingge sneered, his eyes as sharp as knives.
"Someone... pull out all her fingernails for me."
The fingers are connected to the heart... She just doesn't believe that Concubine Wan is not telling the truth.
When Zhou Lingge gave this order, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Concubine Wan's face was filled with fear, and she quickly begged for mercy from the Empress Dowager.
"Queen Mother, please spare my life."
"I didn't lie. I didn't dare to harm Your Majesty. I just fed Your Majesty some nourishing medicine..."
She cried so pitifully that the Queen Mother couldn't bear it.
She couldn't help but frown and look at Zhou Lingge: "What's the matter? Can't you just talk it out calmly? Do you have to use such vicious methods to torture me?"
Zhou Lingge's eyes were full of coldness, and she did not give the empress dowager any face at all.
"The Queen Mother misjudges people and has brought disaster upon Your Majesty. If anything were to happen to Your Majesty today, you, Your Majesty, would be held responsible. Are you sure you want to disregard Your Majesty's safety for such a sinister person?"
"Empress Dowager, don't forget that Concubine Wan lied to you before, saying that His Majesty was infected with the plague. In short, I don't believe anything Concubine Wan said..."
"Someone, pull out her nails..."
Qiao'er responded immediately, and she called two maids and approached Concubine Wan with pliers.
Concubine Wan was so frightened that her face was full of horror.
"Ah, no, don't come near me."
"I am His Majesty's Consort Wan... Without His Majesty's order, you cannot touch me."
Unfortunately, her ghostly howling roar had no deterrent effect at all.
In the entire inner palace, not only Concubine Wan, but even the Empress Dowager had no right to say no. How could she, a mere person harboring evil intentions towards the emperor, suppress these servants with just a few cries?
The two maids grabbed Concubine Wan's hands, held the pliers, and exerted force suddenly.
Ah... Concubine Wan's screams of pain resounded throughout the inner hall.
"Ah, don't pull it out. I'm telling you... I'm telling you. That's a drug that causes His Majesty's memory to fade... I just want His Majesty to forget you and fall in love with me. If His Majesty had seen me first and gotten to know me, he definitely wouldn't have fallen in love with you."
"I like him so much, but he doesn't even look at me... How can I accept this?"
"I gave up my freedom and willingly entered the palace. I don't ask for his heart to be filled with me, but at least I can leave a place in his heart. However... his heart and eyes are filled with you, Zhou Lingge... He can't see anyone else at all. I really can't accept this."
She just wanted to give herself some hope.
What's wrong with her?
Concubine Wan looked at Zhou Lingge with tears in her eyes. At the end of her speech, she couldn't help but look up and laugh.
"This time, I can finally compete with you fairly..."
"Zhou Lingge, tell me, if His Majesty lost his memory, would he still love you again... would he still be so obsessed with you?"
Zhou Lingge's heart suddenly tightened.
There was a hint of bloodlust in her eyes.
She stood up and walked step by step to Concubine Wan: "You actually gave him amnesia drugs?"
"How dare you?"
At this moment, she was extremely panicked.
Qin Feiling would forget her, and he would forget everything that had happened between them before.
It took her a lot of effort to make him fall in love with her.
But Ye Wanxi actually messed up all her plans.
Ye Wanxi deserves to die!
There was murderous intent in Zhou Lingge's eyes.
She raised her hand and grabbed Concubine Wan's neck.
"You're so damned good."
Concubine Wan didn't expect Zhou Lingge to be so strong.
She struggled desperately.
But she couldn't break free from Zhou Lingge's grip at all.
She was strangled and couldn't breathe, and her face gradually turned blue and purple.
Her fingers pinched the back of Zhou Lingge's hand fiercely.
The back of Zhou Lingge's originally delicate hand was scratched with blood marks.
But she didn't seem to feel any pain.
She kept exerting force with her hands.
The murderous intent surging in her heart made her lose her mind.
She just wanted to kill someone to calm the hatred surging in her body.
Ye Wanxi deserves to die.
She must die!
Ye Wanxi's eyes were filled with despair, her pupils gradually blurred, and the fingers that were originally digging into Zhou Ling's back gradually lost their strength.
Her arms fell limply.
Her head also drooped.
The Queen Mother was so frightened that her scalp went numb.
It was the first time she saw Zhou Lingge look so sinister and bloodthirsty.
It was like a demon crawling out of hell.
She was so scared that she stepped back and almost fell down.
"Quick, stop the Imperial Concubine! Concubine Wan is about to be strangled to death by her..."
