Chapter 279 Antidote
She drooped her head weakly...and her vision became blurred.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Qin Keqing fainted.
Qiao Er raised her eyebrows: "My Lady, Qin Keqing has fainted."
Zhou Lingge lazily raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Splash her with cold water to wake her up..."
Qiao'er responded and quickly ordered the jailer to bring a bucket of water.
The cold water splashed heavily on Qin Keqing's face.
Qin Keqing was excited, let out a low cry, and immediately opened her eyes.
She looked around in confusion.
The originally numb pain completely swept over her as she woke up.
She whimpered, and every part of her body was filled with severe pain.
Zhou Lingge had the cloth stuffed in her mouth pulled out.
"Can you talk to me now?"
Qin Keqing raised her head with difficulty and looked at Zhou Lingge.
Beneath that beautiful face lies a vicious heart. She knows she is no match for Zhou Lingge...
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhou Lingge sneered, "Why, are you still so stubborn?"
"In that case, I will leave a mark on a face as beautiful as a flower like yours."
As soon as she finished speaking, a jailer picked up a red-hot iron sheet and walked to Qin Keqing at an extremely fast speed.
Qin Keqing's eyes were full of fear.
Her scalp suddenly went numb, and she screamed: "No, don't."
"Your Highness, I... I know I was wrong. I overestimated my own abilities and thought too highly of myself. I beg you to forgive me. I... I will never dare to go against you again."
"Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you..."
She couldn't stand it anymore.
She really couldn't bear such torture.
How could she, a modern person from thousands of years in the future, have suffered such pain?
She was completely frightened by Zhou Lingge's torture.
Now, let alone seeing Zhou Lingge's beautiful face, even hearing her name and her voice made her feel creepy and her hair stood on end.
The anger that had been accumulating in Zhou Lingge's heart was completely released.
She smiled as she looked at Qin Keqing who was beaten subdued.
"If you had known how to appreciate this earlier, you wouldn't have suffered this great punishment."
"People are sometimes really not very obedient. You said you were so smart, so how could you be so confused about such an important matter?"
Qin Keqing couldn't help but burst into tears.
Her psychological defenses were completely broken by Zhou Lingge.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life... I will never dare to do it again!"
A smile appeared in Zhou Lingge's eyes, and he looked at Qin Keqing with a very gentle smile.
"Tell me, Your Majesty, is your illness poisoned or caused by an epidemic?"
Qin Keqing sobbed, not daring to hide anything anymore. She quickly replied, "Your Majesty, he was poisoned, not infected with the plague."
Zhou Lingge couldn't help but sneer: "As expected...where is the antidote?"
Qin Keqing didn't dare to hesitate at all and quickly told the hiding place of the antidote.
"I... I hid the antidote in the cold palace..."
Zhou Lingge breathed a sigh of relief. The most urgent thing was to quickly detoxify Qin Feiling.
She didn't have time to continue chatting with Qin Keqing.
She ordered Qin Keqing to be taken away.
After Qin Feiling is fine, she will make time to dig out the secrets of Qin Keqing.
Zhou Lingge immediately asked someone to notify Eunuch Liu and asked him to go to the cold palace to find the antidote.
Eunuch Liu acted quickly and immediately found the antidote in the cold palace.
When Zhou Lingge rushed back to Yuanchen Palace, Eunuch Liu just happened to arrive with the antidote.
Eunuch Liu was extremely excited and respectfully handed the antidote to Zhou Lingge: "Your Majesty, this is the antidote found in the cold palace..."
Zhou Lingge took the porcelain bottle.
She walked into the Yuanchen Palace, but suddenly a palace servant blocked her way.
"The Imperial Concubine... The Empress Dowager has ordered that no one is allowed to set foot in Yuanchen Palace without her order."
Zhou Lingge knew that the Queen Mother had a deep prejudice against her. No matter what explanation she made at this time, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would not listen.
She didn't want to waste her time dealing with the Queen Mother.
Zhou Lingge turned to look at Eunuch Liu: "Eunuch Liu, if I contradicted the Queen Mother today, do you think His Majesty would support me when he wakes up, or would he uphold the Queen Mother's dignity?"
Eunuch Liu understands Your Majesty's thoughts better than anyone else.
In the heart of their majesty, the empress dowager is naturally not as important as the imperial concubine.
Although the Queen Mother is your Majesty's biological mother, the affection between them has been very weak since childhood. In order to protect her position as queen, the Queen Mother has tortured your Majesty many times over the years. Your Majesty has a grudge against the Queen Mother.
How could Your Majesty choose to blame the Imperial Concubine for the Empress Dowager?
Besides, this is to save His Majesty.
Your Majesty will definitely help the imperial concubine.
Eunuch Liu quickly replied with a smile, "Whatever the Imperial Concubine wants to do, feel free to do it. His Majesty will certainly not blame the Imperial Concubine..."
Zhou Lingge adjusted the hairpins in her hair and looked towards the gate of the Yuanchen Palace... This was her territory, and there was absolutely no reason for her to let others make the decision!
She narrowed her eyes slightly and gave the order directly.
"Come here, pass on this imperial decree... All the palace servants brought by the Empress Dowager are to be detained. No one is allowed to let them leave without this order..."
At her command, Qiao'er seemed to be energized.
She immediately perked up and shouted towards Yuanchen Palace: "The Imperial Concubine has ordered that anyone who dares to disobey will be beaten to death."
The next moment, the palace servants of Yuanchen Palace rushed out one after another.
The palace servants brought by the Empress Dowager who were guarding the palace gate were filled with fear and said, "Your Highness, are you going to disobey the Empress Dowager's order?"
With a slap, Qiao'er slapped him hard.
"This is Yuanchen Palace... not Cining Palace. Naturally, our Imperial Concubine has the final say..."
The palace servant was completely stunned by the slap.
She staggered backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
The next moment, palace servants restrained her hands and feet.
However, in an instant, the palace maids of Yuanchen Palace quickly took control of all the palace maids brought by the empress dowager.
Jin Xin respectfully supported Zhou Lingge and slowly walked into the palace gate and entered Yuanchen Palace.
The Queen Mother was originally sitting in the main hall when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Her expression changed and she immediately looked at Aunt Zhao: "What happened outside? What's all the commotion?"
Nanny Zhao had been guarding the hall and had no idea what was happening outside.
She quickly shook her head and wanted to go out to take a look. The next moment, the door of the hall opened and Zhou Lingge was supported by someone and walked in from outside the hall with great grace.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with astonishment. She stood up suddenly and said, "Didn't I just issue an imperial decree forbidding Concubine Yu from entering Yuanchen Palace again?"
"Aijia's imperial decree... do you dare to disobey?"
