Chapter 232 Death from Poison
Everyone's eyes turned to Gao Wen.
Gao Wen felt like she was falling into an icy cave, one crisis after another... Her face was pale, and she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I just accidentally fell..."
Qin Feiling was really annoyed with Gao Wen.
"why is it you again?"
In order to deal with the Queen Mother, he just casually pointed at someone to please her. He didn't expect that his unintentional act would make this noble man so arrogant?
Humiliating Concubine Lin and smashing cups in Yuanchen Palace?
Who gave her the courage to be so presumptuous?
Qin Feiling's eyes were filled with anger. He waved his hand and said, "Come here, drag her away."
"I never want to see her again. Daring to smash a teacup in the Imperial Concubine's Palace... Ha, how audacious! I'll banish her directly to the cold palace."
Gao Wen's head buzzed and she looked at Qin Feiling with a dull look.
She thought she heard wrongly.
She cried and said, "Your Majesty, I am the first concubine you have chosen, and the first concubine among this group of newcomers to serve you in the bed. You must like me. Woo woo, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will never dare to be presumptuous in front of the Imperial Concubine again..."
She thought she was the new favorite, and that sooner or later this new favorite would surpass the imperial concubine and replace her.
So she didn't have many scruples, and even wanted to test the imperial concubine's attitude, so she smashed the cup directly under the pretext of humiliating Lin Yan.
But unexpectedly, this became a reason for His Majesty to punish her?
Gao Wen regrets it so much now.
She did not hesitate to bring up all the preferential treatments and exceptions Qin Feiling had given her before.
Qin Feiling's eyes were full of disgust, and he ruthlessly shattered all of Gao Wen's fantasies.
"I personally selected the concubines to appease the Queen Mother. I just picked them randomly. Do you think I'm interested in you?"
"I didn't even see what you looked like at the time... Then I flipped over the green cards, and your name was on the first one. I was too lazy to look, so I just flipped over the cards... And just by relying on these coincidences, you were able to show off your power in front of the Imperial Concubine?"
Gao Wen's face turned pale.
Her mind went blank.
It’s fake. All the exceptions His Majesty made to her before were just coincidences?
No, she doesn't believe it!
She is born charming, attractive and sexy like a beauty. Which man would not be excited and crazy about her when he sees her?
The palace maids clamped Gao Wen's hands and feet and dragged her out with force.
Gao Wen's eyes were filled with panic: "Ah, that's not the case. Your Majesty, you like me, so you pay attention to me..."
Qin Feiling's eyes were extremely cold: "Shut her mouth, she's really noisy."
He hated this kind of spoiled woman the most. He hadn't even doted on her much, and yet she was stirring up trouble like this...
It can be said that everything Gao Wen did violated his taboos.
The palace maid immediately covered Gao Wen's mouth.
Drag her away.
Who knew... when Gao Wen was dragged to the door of the palace, she suddenly vomited black blood.
The palace maid was startled and quickly let her go.
Gao Wen's body twitched and she fell to the ground, her whole body convulsing.
Mouthfuls of black blood gushed out of her mouth.
She raised her arm in pain and stretched it towards Qin Feiling.
"Your Majesty, please save me."
The faces of the concubines in the hall were all filled with fear.
"This...what happened to the noble man?"
"Why did you vomit black blood?"
"Poison, she's been poisoned."
Qin Feiling's face changed, and he quickly asked the palace servants to check on Gao Wen's condition.
He walked to Zhou Lingge and held her hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid."
Zhou Lingge frowned as he looked at Gao Wen, whose body was curled up. She was already dying, at the end of her strength.
Out of the blue, he was poisoned in her Yuanchen Palace?
Concubine Wan hurried over to check on Gao Wen.
The poison was too strong, and before she could take any rescue measures, Gao Wen had already bled from all seven orifices and died.
"Your Majesty, the noble man is dead."
"The poison she was poisoned with was too strong... in just a moment..."
The concubines in the palace were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Gao Wen suddenly died of poisoning, without giving them any chance to react.
The poison is so strong... Who on earth wants to harm her?
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhou Lingge.
What happened to Noble Lady Gao was in Yuanchen Palace, and the Imperial Concubine could not escape responsibility in any way.
Gao Wen's personal maid Rui'er fell to her knees, crawled to Gao Wen's side, and sobbed.
"Wow, my lady, how could this happen? Our lady's death was so unjust. How could she die like this without knowing the reason?"
"I beg Your Majesty to send someone to thoroughly investigate the poisoning of our noble lady so that we can seek justice for her. Our noble lady's death was so unjust."
"Your Majesty, although our noble lady is arrogant and domineering by nature, she has done nothing wrong. Her crime does not deserve death. Your Majesty, please find the murderer and give our noble lady justice."
Concubine Wan's eyes were red, and she looked at Gao Wen, who died with her eyes open, with great pity.
"The noble man is truly pitiful..."
"If we don't get to the bottom of something like this happening in the palace, not only will we be unable to silence the gossips, but the Imperial Concubine will probably be implicated as well."
"Your Majesty, please send someone to conduct a thorough investigation."
In fact, this group of new concubines entering the palace did not like Gao Wen very much.
She is domineering and arrogant, and no one likes to approach or talk to her.
But she died suddenly of poisoning without any warning.
They just felt that if the murderer was not found, they would be the next to die.
So all the concubines in the hall also prostrated themselves.
"Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate the death of this noble man..."
Qin Feiling didn't expect that Gao Wen suddenly died of poisoning.
This matter is too serious, and he must get to the bottom of it.
If the murderer behind the scenes is not found out, he is afraid that the imperial concubine's life will be in danger.
He won't be able to rest in peace until the murderer is found.
So Qin Feiling said with a gloomy face: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Now that the harem is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Concubine, let the Imperial Concubine investigate this matter..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, he was immediately opposed by Li Kui and Li Changzai: "Your Majesty, the noble lady died of poisoning in Yuanchen Palace. Logically speaking, the imperial concubine is now highly suspected. If you let the imperial concubine take charge of this matter again, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate..."
As soon as Li Kui's words came out, they were immediately echoed by the concubines.
"Yes, what Li Changzai said makes sense. The incident happened to Noble Lady Gao in Yuanchen Palace. Who knows...whether Noble Consort was involved in this?"
"If the matter were to be handed over to the Imperial Concubine to investigate, no matter what the results were, I'm afraid they would not be convincing to the public."
"Your Majesty, please find someone else to conduct a thorough investigation."
"Concubine Wan used to help the Queen Mother and took care of all the affairs in the harem. She has experience...why not let her take charge of this matter?"
"Yes, Concubine Wan is the most suitable candidate."
Everyone pushed Concubine Wan out.
Concubine Wan glanced at Qin Feiling with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, I will follow your instructions..."
Qin Feiling did not respond to Concubine Wan, but instead looked coldly at the concubines who had just been talking.
"What you just meant to say is that the death of the noble lady... was caused by the imperial concubine?"
