Chapter 204 A standout
Zhou Shiya held Mrs. Zhou's body in her arms for a long time without moving.
The jailer who was bribed by her, seeing that time was almost up, hurriedly urged her to leave.
Zhou Shiya wiped her tears and carefully placed Mrs. Zhou's body on the ground.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Mrs. Zhou, as a way of completing the relationship between them as mother and daughter in this life.
She took one last look at Mrs. Zhou's face in her tearful dream.
Then she gritted her teeth, got up from the ground, and left without looking back.
After returning to Fengluan Palace, Zhou Shiya used up a little mental strength to write a letter about what she saw tonight and sent it to the Song family.
Prime Minister Song looked at it, his eyes filled with anger.
He raised his hand and overturned the teacup on the coffee table: "What a Zhou Yi! I didn't expect him to be so cruel. He actually strangled my daughter to death with his own hands..."
Mrs. Song cried hysterically. The loss of her beloved daughter was like someone stabbing her heart with a knife.
She wanted to pick up a knife and kill Zhou Yi immediately.
"Back then, I didn't agree to let our daughter marry him, but that girl was so stubborn that she insisted on marrying him. And you tried your best to bring them together, and now, he has actually killed our daughter with his own hands."
"Oh my God, my daughter is dead. How can I live like this?"
Prime Minister Song walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
"That's too much. I don't care about our daughter, but I don't want her to die like this. I've already thought about it, arranged a substitute, and will find the right time to replace our daughter. Who would have thought that Zhou Yi would do this and all my plans would be wasted."
"This ungrateful beast... the pain of killing a daughter... is irreconcilable, and I will not let it go. Zhou Yi, since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous."
Over the years, the Song family and the Zhou family have had intertwined interests because of their marriage relationship.
If they fall apart... the consequences are unacceptable to anyone.
In short, from this day on, the two families that were once closely related had irreconcilable rifts and estrangements.
Zhou Lingge smiled faintly at the dim sky. She silently thought to herself, "Mother, did you see that? That vicious woman, Song, was beaten to death by Zhou Yi. Oh, didn't she deserve it? Mother, don't worry. Zhou Yi will come to apologize to you soon!"
Zhou Shiya fell ill that night.
And the condition is severe.
She almost didn't make it.
Nanny Qian exhausted all her life's knowledge and put in a lot of effort to barely save Zhou Shiya's life.
Aunt Qian's eyes were red. She knelt in front of the bed and held Zhou Shiya's hand tightly: "My Queen, please hold on. You haven't lost yet. We still have a chance..."
"You have a baby in your belly that's been in the womb for four months. No matter what, we can't give up halfway. Old slave, use the silver needles to create the illusion that your Majesty is pregnant. During this entire process, no one will be suspicious..."
She is from the witch tribe in the Western Regions and can use silver needles to fake the symptoms of pregnancy.
No one except the Wu clan can master this unique skill.
"Your belly is gradually bulging... In another month, you may experience false fetal movements... Except for the lack of a baby in your belly, everything else is exactly the same as a pregnant woman. I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problems. Now, your Majesty, you must rest assured and take care of your baby. You must not participate in any palace intrigues..."
Zhou Shiya had been ill, and her current mood was very different from before.
She was very silent, as if she had suddenly lost all her sorrow and joy.
There was nothing in her heart except hatred.
Along with his love for Qin Feiling, everything disappeared completely.
She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked her bulging belly.
"Okay, I understand."
"I will take good care of the baby and win back the child that belongs to me."
From that day on, Zhou Shiya became more and more low-key. On the day when she went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, she paid her respects quietly and sat there without saying a word, like a walking corpse without a soul.
Even when faced with Concubine Shu's provocation and picking on her, she endured it silently, pretending not to hear or see it.
She seemed like a different person.
She stayed at home every day and rarely went out. Apart from paying her respects to the empress dowager, she never set foot in Fengluan Palace, let alone compete with others for the emperor's favor.
These days, Zhou Lingge is the most outstanding person in the entire harem.
No one can hide her charm.
Qin Feiling never went anywhere else except her Yuanchen Palace.
To a certain extent, it can be considered as the exclusive favor.
But Zhou Lingge never let his guard down.
She knew Zhou Shiya. After experiencing the pain of losing Mother Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Shiya must have hated herself. All her calmness now was just a pretense before the storm.
Zhou Lingge raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but chuckle.
She just wanted to force Zhou Shiya to go crazy and collapse step by step... Now, she seemed to be half successful.
But this is far from enough.
Zhou Shiya is a very scheming person and is also very patient. She will definitely continue to think about having children through surrogacy in order to achieve her ultimate goal.
The reason why Zhou Lingge did not expose her fake pregnancy was that she also wanted to use this opportunity to completely pull Zhou Shiya down from her position.
When her child is born, he cannot be born as a concubine's prince... She must take the position of queen before the child is born.
Zhou Lingge's eyes flickered, and there was a strong ambition in his eyes.
Back position!
It must be hers!

Shufei was silent for a while. She missed the child who was killed by the amulet day and night.
Suddenly one day, she had a dream. She dreamed of a delicate and pretty child who was smiling sweetly at her.
Concubine Shu was a little excited. Just as she was about to reach out to hug the child, she stepped on empty air and woke up with her eyes open.
She lay on the bed, her eyes dazed.
Her voice was hoarse as she turned to look at Yan'er who had walked in from outside: "Yan'er, I dreamed of that child. He actually smiled at me. Do you think... does he still want to be my child?"
Yan'er helped her change clothes and wash up.
Concubine Shu sat in front of the dressing table. She looked at her skin which was no longer so delicate, her eyes full of sadness.
"Yan'er, am I getting old?"
Yan'er secretly hid a white hair and shook her head: "What are you talking about, Madam? You are only in your twenties, it is really a beautiful time."
Concubine Shu's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "Golden years? Haha...after all, you are still old."
"How can I compare to the sixteen-year-old, charming young lady, the Imperial Concubine? I heard that His Majesty has been staying overnight at Yuanchen Palace every day during this period."
"He seems to have forgotten all the other concubines in the harem, right?"
Yan'er gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you grieve every day over the young master's death... and you're completely devastated. Even when His Majesty comes to see you, you can't muster up any energy... Not to mention the Empress. Ever since Madam Zhou committed suicide by poisoning herself in the Heavenly Prison, the Empress has been bedridden and has completely given up on competing for favor."
"Concubine Wan is too timid and cowardly to compete for favor. The harem is almost empty. If His Majesty doesn't go to the Imperial Concubine's palace, where else can he go?"
