Chapter 280: Holding Concubine Wan
Zhou Lingge ignored the Queen Mother's anger and didn't even bother to respond to her.
She wanted to deliver the antidote so that Qin Feiling could wake up earlier.
She headed straight towards the inner hall.
The Queen Mother was shocked to see Zhou Lingge ignoring her like this.
Her face was livid with anger, and she quickly stepped forward to block Zhou Lingge's way: "Empress Yu, didn't you hear what I said?"
"Are you openly defying my will?"
Zhou Lingge then set his eyes on the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, this is Yuanchen Palace, not Cining Palace..."
The Queen Mother sneered repeatedly, her eyes full of mockery: "What a shame! It's not the Cining Palace... Are you openly challenging me?"
"How dare you? You're just a noble concubine appointed by the Emperor. Even the Empress doesn't dare disrespect me... How dare you treat me like this?"
Zhou Lingge paused, raised her eyes and stared at the Queen Mother calmly: "This matter is urgent. I need to go in and save His Majesty. Queen Mother, are you sure you want to delay the time to save His Majesty?"
The Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed: "What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? You said you wanted to save His Majesty?"
Zhou Lingge winked at Qiao'er, "Of course... Now, no one can save Your Majesty except me."
The Queen Mother simply found it ridiculous. She thought Zhou Lingge must be crazy and arrogant.
She didn't believe a word she said.
"Just now, Concubine Wan said the emperor's illness was contagious, and you ran faster than a rabbit. Now, Concubine Wan is about to develop an antidote, and you say... you are the only one who can save the emperor? Absurd, you are absolutely shameless."
"Zhou Lingge... you used to take advantage of the Emperor's affection for you and do whatever you wanted... you were arrogant and domineering. Because I was concerned for the Emperor, I repeatedly gave in and didn't argue with you. But your behavior today is truly too much. This time, no matter what, I will not tolerate your mischief any longer."
"Anyone can enter this inner hall, except you. Without my order, I want to see who dares to let you in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao'er ordered several maids to surround the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother's eyes were full of surprise, and the strong maids pushed her away from Zhou Lingge.
She staggered and took a few steps back... and almost fell.
Nanny Zhao was startled and quickly supported the empress dowager.
She looked at the women, her face filled with anger: "You...what are you doing? You are so bold..."
Those old women all knelt down in fear and apologized.
"Queen Mother, calm down."
"The servants didn't mean it..."
"Her Majesty, spare my life."
The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at Zhou Lingge, who was already walking towards the inner hall at a very fast pace.
She was so angry that she felt dizzy.
"Rebellion, a real rebellion..."
She is the queen mother of a country, but she can't stop a concubine?
Everyone in Yuanchen Palace disobeyed her and did not follow her orders as the Empress Dowager.
Her heart ached and her face turned very pale.
Zhou Lingge ignored the Queen Mother's angry roar and quickly stepped into the inner hall.
Concubine Wan was sitting beside the bed, about to feed the medicine into Qin Feiling's mouth.
Zhou Lingge's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and knocked over the bowl of soup in Concubine Wan's hand.
"What medicine did you give His Majesty?"
Concubine Wan was startled and the medicine in her hand fell to the ground.
She looked at Zhou Lingge in astonishment: "Noble Concubine? How did you come in? Don't you know that His Majesty's disease is contagious? Noble Concubine, you'd better get out quickly..."
Zhou Lingge sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Whether it's an epidemic or not, you know best."
"Concubine Wan, I thought you were a quiet person compared to others, but I didn't expect you to have the audacity to lie about His Majesty's illness."
She turned her head to look at Chang Hui, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Her eyes became even colder.
"What did you do to Doctor Chang?"
Concubine Wan's eyes were filled with panic. "Doctor Chang was too tired. He just fell asleep."
Zhou Lingge raised his hand and slapped Concubine Wan. "Your Majesty's condition is critical. How could Doctor Chang sleep at this time? You really are a liar..."
"Tell me, what medicine did you just give His Majesty?"
Concubine Wan didn't expect that the imperial concubine would hit her.
She fell to the ground, covering her cheeks with her hands, and looked at Zhou Lingge with red eyes: "I just gave Your Majesty some medicine..."
"It's about medicine to cure the epidemic... I've already developed the formula... I just made the decoction, but who knew the Imperial Concubine would ruin it with a slap."
"My Lady, you don't want to see His Majesty wake up. Do you want His Majesty to die?"
The Queen Mother rushed over breathlessly. She looked at the beaten Concubine Wan, her eyes filled with rage: "Concubine Yu, you really want to rebel."
"Someone, hurry up and call the imperial guards to come and protect the emperor. Concubine Yu is planning a rebellion and is plotting to murder the emperor..."
The palace was in chaos and the palace servants didn't know who to listen to.
The Queen Mother's men wanted to go out to pass on the message, but Qiao'er immediately had them blocked.
The Queen Mother stamped her feet in anger and said, "What a rebellion! What a rebellion!"
Unfortunately, all the palace maids she brought with her were controlled by Zhou Lingge's men.
Her orders were like farts, no one listened to them, let alone obeyed them.
When Concubine Wan saw this situation, her eyes were full of surprise.
She slowly got up from the ground and wanted to walk to the Queen Mother. Zhou Lingge sneered and asked someone to control Concubine Wan.
"Hold down Concubine Wan."
Qiao'er acted quickly and immediately ordered two maids to rush over and restrain Concubine Wan's hands and feet.
Concubine Wan looked at the Empress Dowager and cried for help: "Empress Dowager, please save me. Everything I did was to save Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother was also entangled by several maids, and she was too busy to take care of herself. In this inner palace, she had no say at all.
She kept roaring and yelling at Zhou Lingge.
Zhou Lingge never even glanced at the empress dowager from beginning to end.
She slowly sat down beside the bed and looked at the sleeping Qin Feiling.
Jin Xin walked up to Chang Hui and gently shook his arm: "Doctor Chang, wake up..."
In order to reduce her suspicion, Concubine Wan did not use a large dose of drugs when she tried to knock Imperial Physician Chang unconscious. So when Jin Xin shook his arm, he opened his eyes in a daze.
He looked at the chaotic situation in the hall and calmed down for a while.
"Your Highness, this is..."
Zhou Lingge took out the porcelain bottle and looked at Chang Hui: "Don't worry about anything else for now, let's check the contents of this porcelain bottle to see if it can remove the poison from His Majesty's body."
Chang Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh, appearing extremely excited. "Yes, I think Your Majesty might have been poisoned, not the epidemic that Concubine Wan said."
"Just now, I expressed my suspicions, but who would have thought... the next moment, I lost consciousness and fell over..."
