Chapter 239 "Flower Meat Pie"
Zhaopin was shocked and her eyes widened in horror, "What did you say!"
Su Nanqing waved her bare hands, her wide sleeves caressing the air like flowing clouds. She sat comfortably on the table, her pure eyes blinking slightly: "Didn't you taste it?"
"This rose jam is mixed with your wet nurse's brain, and this puff pastry is mixed with her broken bones."
After saying this, she leaned close to Zhaopin's frightened face, with crazy tenderness surging in the depths of her pupils.
"Click...click...what a beautiful sound..."
"Ah...ah..." Zhaopin screamed miserably, covering her ears with her hands and stepping back repeatedly.
Su Nanqing leaned forward and raised her lips gently: "What are you afraid of?"
"Isn't she your wet nurse? What are you afraid of?"
Zhaopin felt dizzy and her whole body was twitching for a moment, and she vomited all the cakes she had eaten.
Su Nanqing exclaimed, "Ah!" "Why did you vomit? Is it possible that the old man's meat is not tasty?"
Zhaopin raised her tear-stained pale face and glared at Su Nanqing with hatred: "You...why are you so cruel?"
Su Nanqing raised her hand to stroke the hibiscus hairpin on her temples, tilted her head and revealed a hazy smile: "Cruel? My Lady Concubine Zhao, how can this be called cruel?"
"She fed you milk back then, and now you eat her flesh, how perfect..."
"I only...think of your Majesty's longing for her mother, so I asked Madam Kong to stay by your side forever."
As she spoke, her nail-dyed hands slowly picked up a piece of flower cake, and her voice was as gentle as coaxing a child: "Come, let me feed the queen."
"Every piece of this dessert is a token of Madam Kong's love. Your Majesty, please don't waste it."
She stuffed the snack into Zhaopin's mouth.
Zhaopin closed her lips tightly. The moment her lips touched the pastry crust, her stomach churned violently and she retched several times in grief.
Su Nanqing narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Vomiting?"
"I'll put everything you spit out back into your mouth!"
“Give it to me!”
She pinched Zhaopin's jaw, crushed the flower cake and stuffed it into Zhaopin's mouth.
Zhaopin struggled desperately, but she had not eaten for two days and was weak all over. She was no match for Su Nanqing at all.
She could only eat the snacks while crying and vomiting.
Looking at Zhaopin's miserable appearance with sweat and tears, Su Nanqing felt extremely happy and pushed her hard onto the table.
Zhaopin coughed several times with a trembling heart and lungs, staring at Su Nanqing with tears in her eyes: "You...you are crazy."
"Yes! I'm crazy!"
Su Nanqing opened his arms, his eyes flushed crimson: "You guys drove me crazy!"
"Ever since you killed my aunt, I've gone crazy!"
"Now, it's your turn to feel this way! I must take back the pain I've endured from you, a hundredfold and a thousandfold!"
Zhaopin gasped weakly: "I never thought of harming you and the child in your belly..."
"You dare to quibble!" Su Nanqing interrupted her, scarlet blood spreading wildly in the whites of his eyes.
"Even if your hands are clean, you are still a murderer! It was you who allowed Madam Kong to harm my aunt and my unborn child!"
Upon hearing this, Zhaopin stopped explaining and just laughed out loud with her head raised.
Su Nanqing's eyes flashed: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhaopin put away her smile, looked at Su Nanqing and said, "I laughed at you, but you took revenge on the wrong person!"
"The real murderer is neither Madam Kong nor me!"
Su Nanqing froze, and the madness in his eyes was instantly replaced by astonishment: "Who is it! Tell me clearly!"
Zhaopin stared at her and said word by word, "It's you! It's Concubine Xi."
Su Nanqing sneered when he heard this.
"I know you and Concubine Xi are good sisters! But when has she ever treated you as a sister?"
"You have no family background, no status, why would Madam Kong want to harm your unborn child? It's because of Concubine Xi..."
Su Nanqing was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
Zhaopin continued, "At that time, rumors were rife in the six palaces, saying that you were carrying a prince, and that after the birth, he would be raised by Concubine Xi's side, and that Concubine Xi would naturally ascend to the throne of consort!"
"Since Concubine Xi entered the palace, she has been greatly favored. How could the six palaces allow her to have a child? Even if it weren't for Madam Kong, someone else would have harmed her! If you hadn't given the Fourth Prince to Concubine Xi to raise, Madam Kong wouldn't have thought of harming him, and your aunt wouldn't have heard anything she shouldn't have! She wouldn't have..."
With a "slap", Su Nanqing interrupted Zhaopin's words with a slap.
"Even now, you are still stubborn and want to sow discord between Concubine Xi and me?"
Zhaopin raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and chuckled softly, "Some things don't require me to stir up trouble. Can't you understand them yourself?"
"Ever since you became pregnant, you've been saying you'd give the child to Concubine Xi to raise. But what about her? That day, the Queen Mother ordered a caesarian section to be performed, and she didn't even plead. Maybe she's just waiting for you to die so she can leave the child behind and raise the Fourth Prince legitimately. For her, that would be a wonderful thing."
Seeing Su Nanqing's face becoming increasingly ugly, Zhaopin's smile widened a bit: "In this palace, there is no such thing as sisterly love..."
"You only care about her, but has she ever thought about you? Has she ever taken pity on you being alone and helpless in the palace, and given her unborn child to you to raise?"
"I can't possibly raise Concubine Xi's child!" Su Nanqing raised his poisonous eyes, as if he was going to devour Concubine Zhao in the next moment.
"People like you, with such a vicious heart, will never have a good sister in your life! And don't even think about sowing discord between Concubine Xi and me!"
Zhaopin was stunned, then sneered coldly.
"Huh?" Su Nanqing raised her eyebrows sinisterly: "What are you drinking?"
"Would you like some bone broth?"
Before Zhaopin could react, Su Nanqing's hands grabbed her throat tightly and she was pushed down on the couch in an instant.
Su Nanqing's face twisted, and she picked up the bone soup on the table and poured it into Zhaopin's throat.
"Then drink! Drink as much as you can!"
"This is the broth that took four hours to make from your wet nurse's bones!"
Zhaopin opened her eyes wide instantly and struggled frantically with her limbs, but no matter how she pinched Su Nanqing with her hands, Su Nanqing still held her chin tightly and did not let go at all.
"Mmmm..." Zhaopin's eyes were full of despair and fear, as if she was begging for mercy.
"Are you scared now? It's too late! My Lady Concubine Zhao, I will make you live in agony."
Watching the bowl of soup gradually empty, Su Nanqing finally let go of Zhaopin's jaw.
Zhaopin immediately collapsed on the Luohan bed, letting out a broken whimper from her throat, like a trapped beast on the verge of death.
Su Nanqing picked up the tea beside her and washed her hands slowly and carefully. After making sure that there was no dirt on her hands, she picked up the handkerchief beside her and carefully wiped the water stains on her hands.
After her hands were clean, she lowered her eyes to look at Zhao Bin and threw the handkerchief at Zhao Bin's face.
"Empress Zhaopin, see you next time!"
Zhaopin did not move, letting the wet handkerchief cover her face until Su Nanqing's footsteps faded away, and then the heart-wrenching cry was heard in the palace.
