Chapter 235 Flying Out of the Palace Wall
Chapter 235 Flying Out of the Palace Wall
She glared at Qin Feiling unhappily, then turned over and ignored him.
She really wasn't jealous, but this dog emperor insisted that she was jealous. She was really angry!
After that, no matter how Qin Feiling coaxed her, she closed her eyes and did not respond to him.
Qin Feiling was extremely helpless, and in the end he had to soften his attitude and say all the nice things to coax her.
"Okay, it's all my fault. I misunderstood you. You're not jealous. You don't care at all that I favor other concubines."
"My concubine is the most tolerant, generous, gentle and virtuous concubine in this harem."
Qin Feiling almost lost his temper.
His hand gently caressed her slightly bulging belly: "Don't be angry if you're pregnant... You should always keep your body happy."
"This is all my fault."
Zhou Lingge's mood improved a little.
She still ignored Qin Feiling, but Qin Feiling whispered to her, "I went to Qixia Palace to find Concubine Lin, not because I fell in love with her... I went to see her because I had other matters to discuss."
Zhou Lingge was aroused by curiosity: "What's the matter?"
Qin Feiling's eyes flickered, and he touched his nose: "I can't tell you now...it's a secret for now."
He wanted to prepare a surprise for the imperial concubine.
How could I possibly tell her in advance?
If she knew about this, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain and there would be no surprise at all?
Zhou Lingge saw that he was hesitant to speak and was hiding.
She felt a little unhappy again.
She couldn't help but sneer: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Anyway, I don't want to know."
That night, she didn't give him a good look.
If he wasn't the emperor, she would have kicked him under the bed long ago.
Qin Feiling continued to coax Zhou Lingge.
Although I am tired, I am very happy in my heart.
Ge'er rarely loses her temper with him... Is this a sign that she is gradually getting closer to him and slowly showing her true self?
He likes her being so real and vivid!
As long as he is with her, he will be happy no matter whether it is bitter or sweet.
At noon the next day, Concubine Wan sent someone to inform Qin Feiling that she had completed the investigation into the poisoning of noble lady Gao.
Qin Feiling asked all the concubines in the harem to gather in the Wolong Palace.
Zhou Lingge received the news and left Yuanchen Palace with Jinxin, heading towards Wolong Palace. Who knew that on the way, she would meet a new concubine who had just entered the palace.
The young lady was fair and clean, with an oval face...her appearance was very cute and lovely. Her first impression was harmless and impossible to be on guard against.
She bowed respectfully to Zhou Lingge and said, "I agree to meet the Imperial Concubine Ling."
Zhou Lingge sat on the sedan chair and nodded lightly to let her don't bother with the formalities.
Ling agreed and stood up carefully, looking up at Zhou Lingge.
A hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help but flatter him, "Your Majesty is a goddess... I am truly honored to have the privilege of meeting you."
Zhou Lingge didn't like to develop any sisterly relationship with the concubines in the harem.
She reacted very indifferently and asked the palace servants to lift the sedan chair and continue moving forward.
Unexpectedly, Ling agreed but seemed not to see Zhou Lingge's resistance. She followed beside him in a familiar manner and started talking to herself.
"Over the years, I have always heard of the Imperial Concubine's great name, but I have never seen her. Now that I have the honor of seeing her face, I feel very satisfied."
"By the way, Your Majesty, you probably don't know that I also live in Kyoto. The difference is that I come from a humble background, and my father is just a small editor in the Hanlin Academy. This time, I was selected into the harem by accident. Alas, if I could choose, I really don't want to enter the palace as a concubine..."
"Actually, to be honest, Your Majesty, I already had someone in my heart before I entered the palace. Unfortunately, I will never have the chance to be with that person in this lifetime."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel sad and tears fell down her face.
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief as if no one was around, not realizing how outrageous her words were.
Jin Xin frowned, there was something wrong with this Ling Da Ying.
Anyone with a brain would never say such a heretical and disrespectful statement.
She immediately became wary and couldn't help but scold Ling Yida, "Ling Yida, this is your own private matter. Do you think it's appropriate for you to talk about such private matters so recklessly?"
"Also, you are now His Majesty's concubine. If people knew that you had someone else in your heart, would you rather die than live, or would you rather drag your entire Ling family down with you?"
Ling Da Ying's eyes were filled with sorrow, and tears rolled down his eyes.
She ignored Jin Xin's scolding and just stared at Zhou Lingge with tearful eyes filled with pain.
"Your Majesty... Ever since my father forced me into the palace, my heart has been dead."
"I can't live happily in this life, and I don't want to... just be trapped in this cowardly, painful and hopeless high wall..."
Zhou Lingge stared at Ling Ying with a dark look in her eyes. She couldn't help but sneer and asked, "So, what do you want to do?"
Ling Yingda looked up at the azure, cloudless sky and said, "I want to fly freely like a bird... I want to fly out of this high wall and go find my lover."
"Your Majesty, I know... In fact, every day you are trapped in this harem must be very painful. Don't you want to spread your wings like a bird, fly out of the palace walls... and live a different kind of life?"
"I can't be with the one I love... What's the point of living like this? Even if I hold a high position and enjoy endless wealth and glory, will I truly be happy and content?"
She had no idea how outrageous and ridiculous what she said was.
She seemed to be immersed in her own world.
Jin Xin's face turned pale, and she looked at Zhou Lingge nervously: "My Lady, is Ling Da Ying crazy?"
"How could she say such outrageous words? I'll call someone over to subdue her and hand her over to the Emperor for punishment, shall I?"
Such a madman suddenly rushed in front of the imperial concubine and said such incomprehensible words.
Any normal person would sense that something was wrong.
Zhou Lingge stared at Ling Da Ying, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.
She knew that today would not be peaceful, so she had already arranged people around here.
She curled her fingers and tapped the armrest of the sedan chair: "Oh, what a good show..."
She winked at Jin Xin.
Jin Xin nodded calmly... Her eyes turned to the guards who had been lurking not far away for a long time.
Ling Da Ying came back to his senses, and his tearful eyes fell on Zhou Lingge again.
"Your Highness, I hope you don't misunderstand me... I'm just speaking from my heart. In fact, I've long heard about your past with Young Master Han before you entered the palace. I feel that you and I share a common affliction. You must have experienced the pain and despair in my heart countless times..."
"That's why I had the audacity to rush before the Imperial Concubine and say these outrageous words. Please calm down, Your Majesty... I have no other intentions... I just want to live by my heart..."
After she said that, she took out a dagger from her bosom.
