Chapter 161 Covered in Blood
He turned his head and saw a dagger stuck in Concubine Shu's belly.
Her body softened and she slowly fell to the ground.
Her eyes were filled with tears. Seeing that Qin Feiling was unharmed, a smile appeared on her lips: "Fortunately, your majesty is fine."
Qin Feiling's heart suddenly shook, and he looked at Concubine Shu lying in a pool of blood in disbelief.
He never imagined that Concubine Shu would risk her own life to block the knife for him.
Zhou Lingge looked at Concubine Shu who was covered in blood, her eyes narrowed slightly... Concubine Shu had invested a lot of money this time.
This trick of inflicting pain on one's own flesh is truly brilliant!
Everyone in the hall was in chaos.
Because all this happened so quickly and suddenly, many people didn't react.
The moment Concubine Shu fell to the ground, the guards with swords rushed in and quickly clamped down on the eunuch.
The eunuch's hair fell down... and he slowly raised his head, which had been lowered.
Her eyes were filled with madness, and she screamed hysterically: "Die, all of you die."
"All of you will be buried with me..."
Zhou Shiya looked at the crazy eunuch, her eyes filled with astonishment: "Xie...Xie Huilan? Why is it you?"
She just felt cold all over.
How could Xie Huilan appear here?
Shouldn't Xie Huilan be dead by this time?
What exactly is going on?
The Empress Dowager did not expect that Concubine Shu would take the knife for the Emperor.
She was so moved that she immediately ordered the palace maids to call the imperial physician.
She walked up to Concubine Shu and held her hand tightly: "Good child...thanks to you for saving the emperor."
Otherwise, that knife strike just now would have taken the emperor's life.
Concubine Shu turned her head to look at Qin Feiling, tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty... I hope you are alright."
After she said this, her vision went dark and she passed out.
Qin Feiling let go of Zhou Lingge, immediately picked up Concubine Shu and carried her to the bed in the inner hall.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and treated Concubine Shu quickly.
The Queen Mother then noticed that Qin Feiling was also injured, and she quickly asked the imperial physician to bandage Qin Feiling's wound.
Qin Feiling shifted her gaze from Concubine Shu to look at Zhou Lingge, whose face was pale.
He walked to her side and held her slightly cold little hand.
"Are you scared?"
Zhou Lingge was stunned. She thought that his mind would be completely occupied by Concubine Shu at this moment.
I didn't expect that he could still pay attention to her situation at this time?
Zhou Lingge slowly shook her head: "I am fine, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Qin Feiling first asked the imperial physician to take Zhou Lingge's pulse.
"First, check on the imperial concubine to see if she has a miscarriage."
As soon as he said this, the Queen Mother objected vehemently: "She was held in your arms, unharmed... What could have happened to her? You are the Son of Heaven, and your health is most important... Emperor, don't you know what's more important?"
Qin Feiling pursed her lips and looked at the Queen Mother: "For me, the safety of the concubine and the child... is the top priority."
"Mother, do you understand what I mean? If you don't take her pulse first, I will not cooperate with bandaging the wound."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth secretly. She was very angry, but she also knew that she could not prevail against the Emperor.
She sighed helplessly and had to let the imperial physician take Zhou Lingge's pulse first.
Zhou Lingge stared at Qin Feiling's still bleeding hand, and she couldn't help but frown.
She looked away, trying to make herself not care, trying to make herself cruel.
But her gaze always fell on his bloody palm, intentionally or unintentionally.
He seems to think she is very important now?
It is so important that it seems to be more important than his own life!
When the knife stabbed towards her, he stood in front of her without hesitation.
Zhou Lingge is not a heartless person, how could she not be moved?
The imperial physician quickly checked Zhou Lingge's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The Imperial Concubine and the Emperor are both in good health. There is nothing wrong with them."
After hearing this, Qin Feiling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only after learning that Zhou Lingge was fine did he ask the imperial physician to bandage his wounds.
The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest heaved violently.
The emperor is so foolish that he regards the imperial concubine as more important than his own life?
The late emperor told him not to be emotional and not to fall in love with anyone.
Has he forgotten everything?
After Qin Feiling bandaged the wound on his hand, he looked up at Xie, who was pinned to the ground with a somewhat crazy look on her face.
His eyes were filled with coldness as he asked word by word, "Xie, you are truly bold. You dared to assassinate me and the imperial concubine. What crime will you be punished for?"
Xie Huilan's eyes were unfocused as she heard Qin Feiling questioning her.
She couldn't help but feel in a trance.
Her body was shaking... her mind was in chaos.
Is that your Majesty's voice?
Your Majesty...It's Your Majesty!
Xie Huilan couldn't control her tears.
She unconsciously spoke out some secrets hidden in her heart word by word.
"Your Majesty... I didn't do those things willingly. Someone ordered me to do them. If I didn't do as she said, she wouldn't let me off easily... I feel so wronged. Why can she escape unscathed while I can only go to hell and be executed?"
Zhou Shiya's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Her eyes were full of surprise and she looked at Xie Huilan with a frown.
Is Xie crazy?
Is she going to betray her and exonerate herself?
Doesn't she care about her family anymore?
Zhou Shiya clenched her fists tightly and frequently cast warning glances at Xie Huilan.
But Xie Huilan never looked back at her from beginning to end.
She seemed to completely ignore her and didn't care about her warning at all...
Something is wrong. Something is wrong with Xie Huilan.
The Queen Mother also noticed something strange, and her eyes were full of confusion: "What on earth is Xie talking about?"
"She said she was wronged? Also, who is the 'she' she's referring to?"
As soon as she finished her questioning words, Xie Huilan's voice rang out again.
Her eyes suddenly became clear, and she looked in Zhou Shiya's direction with great excitement.
"It was her...it was she who ordered me to do all that. Yes...yes, I remembered...the death of Concubine Shu's child and the death of Concubine Luo, it seemed like they were all related to her."
"I know her secret, so she won't let me live. She won't save me, won't help me fake my own death... She wishes I would die immediately so no one could uncover the evil things I've done."
Zhou Shiya's head buzzed and completely exploded.
She looked at Xie Huilan in disbelief.
This bitch, doesn't she want to live anymore?
How dare you drag her into this?
She stood up suddenly and immediately retorted: "Xie, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"You actually want to falsely accuse me of something you have no evidence for?"
"You failed to frame the imperial concubine before, and now that you see yourself about to die, you want to drag me down with you? You really have a vicious heart..."
