Chapter 1735 This Is the Price of Being a Bitch, Are You Convinced?

Late at night in Shangqing's palace, Rong Ting was awakened by a nightmare.

He was sweating profusely and sitting in the middle of the dragon couch, with the quilt on his body being pulled open.

The great eunuch who was guarding outside the palace heard the sound and quickly led people in. Seeing the new emperor's appearance, the great eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Rong Ting's body was chaotic at first, and his body had not been healthy for a long time. He was covered in golden clothes and was skinny. His eyes were full of black and blue. His hands were holding on to the sheets on the dragon bed, and his nails were dug in.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" the great eunuch called twice.

Rong Ting seemed to have come back to his senses now. He looked at the hazy outside. The young eunuchs lit a few candles one after another, and there was some light around him.

"What time is it?" Rong Ting asked.

The chief eunuch replied: "It's time to be ugly."

Rong Ting reached out and touched his eyebrows, but what he touched was his moist forehead.

Only then did he realize that he was covered in cold sweat.

But his physical strength was not enough to support him in bathing again in the middle of the night. He fell back on the bed, and the eunuch quickly covered him with quilts.

At this time, Rong Ting opened his eyes again, looked at the eunuch intently, and asked, "Concubine Qin, are you asleep?"

The eldest eunuch paused for a moment and replied: "Maybe you are not asleep, but you want to invite the imperial concubine to sleep with you? I will make arrangements now."

It is said that he is serving the bed, but the emperor is not capable of such things. When he recruits people, he can only accompany An Anxin. When Qin Guifei was in the prince's house, she was in charge of the backyard. The prince at that time, now In front of the emperor, he is very proud.

It was already late, so Qin Zi must have fallen asleep. After Rong Ting asked this question, he already knew the answer. He didn't want to start a fight in the middle of the night.

But the scene in his dream just now made it hard for him to let go. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"Recruit Concubine Qin to sleep with you."

The chief eunuch then went out to give orders.

On the other side, Qin Zi was awakened by the palace maid. After briefly freshening up, he rushed to Shangqing Hall.

When Qin Zi arrived, Rong Ting had already fallen asleep again. The eunuch asked the concubine to keep her voice down and opened the door for her.

Qin Zi walked into the inner hall and heard the shallow breathing on the dragon couch, and she slowly approached.

When she walked to the bed, Rong Ting, who thought he was sleeping peacefully, opened his eyes again.

Qin Zi didn't say hello. She took off her robe, got on the bed, and naturally slept next to Rong Ting, level with him.

Rong Ting was silent for a moment, tilted his head and looked at the woman beside him.

Qin Zi sensed this and turned to look at him. Their eyes met. Qin Zi reached out and held Rong Ting's withered hand.

Her hand was warm, while Rong Ting's was cold. One was cold and the other was hot. Rong Ting greedily squeezed her tightly, a little too hard.

Qin Zi sighed: "Did you dream of him again?"

Rong Ting closed his eyes hard, his whole face was gloomy: "He asked me, is it comfortable to sit on this throne?"

Qin Zi turned sideways, slowly approached Rong Ting, and finally hugged him, touching his shoulder comfortingly: "Then tell him that it's difficult to sit down if he's not comfortable."

Rong Ting laughed and remained silent.

Qin Zi added: "But it doesn't matter if it's difficult. Your Majesty is a man of great talent. If this country is in your hands, you will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties, right?"

Rong Ting didn't answer, he just looked at the curtain on the top of the bed, lost in thought.

Qin Zi hugged Rong Ting tighter and said, "Go to sleep."

Rong Ting slowly closed his eyes and his breathing gradually became calmer.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Zi felt that Rong Ting had fallen asleep. She wanted to let go of him, but as soon as she moved, Rong Ting frowned, so Qin Zi had to give up and continue to hold him.

The night passed like this. In the early morning of the next day, the eunuchs woke up the new emperor who was not sleeping peacefully. Qin Zi got up first, prepared Rong Ting to wash up, and helped him change clothes. When Rong Ting was fully dressed, he drank three bowls of medicine. , Qin Zicai personally sent him to the door of Shangqing Palace.

Seeing that Long Zhu left with a large number of palace guards, Qin Zi entered the inner hall, cleaned up, and returned to his palace.

After she returned to her dormitory, she met Rong Jindong who had been waiting for her for a long time.

As the eldest prince, Rong Jindong also lived in the palace, and his bedroom was quite far away. Qin Zi looked at the time and guessed that Rong Jindong probably got up earlier than Rong Ting.

"He asked you to stay with him last night?" Rong Jindong asked straight to the point.

Qin Zi knew what he wanted to ask, smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is fine."

Rong Jindong breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little anxious: "I received a message from the Seventh Uncle last night. The Third Emperor and my master have arrived in Beijing, but they don't seem to want to join us..."

Qin Zi obviously hasn't received the news yet. She paused and said, "They probably have other considerations."

Rong Jindong was very worried: "Will it affect our plan?"

"You're so uncool." Qin Zi pointed out Jindong's fault: "What are you worried about? What are you afraid of? Jindong, if you continue to look so happy, you will expose us."

Rong Jindong quickly lowered his head, wiped his face, and gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry, I just... think things are a little off track."

"You mean the Queen Mother?" Qin Zi also pondered: "I haven't figured out what is going on with her yet, but from the look of your father last night, he is still the same as before. I can do this Sure."

"So, when do you think we can take action at the earliest?" Rong Jindong asked cautiously.

Qin Zi made an estimate and said: "Why, we have to wait for a month..."

Before she could finish her words, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the palace.

Rong Jindong subconsciously hid in the corner.

A little maid came in. The little maid was from Shangqing Palace. She reported breathlessly: "Mother, Queen, the emperor was on the way to the morning court, and he fell ill... Now, the imperial physician is rushing to Shangqing Palace, but the emperor's condition this time seems to be more serious than before, Queen..."

Qin Zi stood up from the chair suddenly, and seemed very worried. She waved away the little maid and sat back on the chair.

Rong Jindong came out from the corner and looked at Qin Zi. Qin Zi met his eyes and suddenly said: "No need to wait, we can start today."

Rong Jindong was greatly encouraged, nodded heavily, and said: "I will go and prepare now!"

When Qin Zi arrived at Shangqing Palace, the other concubines had arrived. The person sitting at the top of the outer hall was the former Crown Princess and now the Queen.

Qin Zi greeted the Queen.

The Queen looked at her indifferently, suddenly stood up, and slowly walked down the steps.

The concubines around were watching this scene with sympathy. Qin Zi still lowered her head, somewhat puzzled.

The queen walked in front of her, and suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped her!

The concubines were as quiet as cicadas, the palace maids in Shangqing Palace took a breath, and the whole hall was silent.

Qin Zi looked up at the queen, her expression seemed aggrieved.

The queen couldn't stand her look, and said viciously: "I heard that you slept with the emperor last night? You are really shameless. The emperor is not in good health, and you use such a despicable means to win favor! The loss of essence and energy will shorten people's lifespan. If the emperor has any problems, I can sentence you to death today!"

Qin Zi explained: "The emperor had a nightmare, and the concubine was just serving by his side, not..."

"Pa!"

Another slap!

Qin Zi's face was slapped to the side, and her cheeks were red with finger marks.

She closed her eyes and said nothing.

"Pa!"

The third slap!

"Pa!"

The fourth slap!

...

After 10 consecutive slaps, the queen rubbed her sore palms, looked at Qin Zi, whose cheeks were swollen and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and sneered: "This is the price of being a slut, do you accept it?"

Qin Zi fell to her knees and kowtowed: "I accept it."

The queen laughed loudly, turned to look at the concubines around, and asked: "What did she say? I didn't hear it clearly."

The concubines looked around, and after a while, someone responded awkwardly: "Qin, Concubine Qin said that she accepts, accepts you, the queen..."

One person said, and the others followed suit. The queen sat back on the high seat. She looked arrogant, as if the whole world was under her gaze.
