"I promise I will never hurt anyone again! If I do it again, may I be struck by lightning!"
Wang Jieyu found such words utterly ridiculous.
"Do you even believe that yourself? You've been with someone like the former empress for so long, you probably don't even know which of your words are true and which are false, do you?"
"You say you'll never hurt anyone again, but being struck by lightning is such a rare thing! How much sincerity can you have when you make such a hypocritical oath?"
Consort Qi: "I...I really mean it!"
"Is that so?" Consort Xu asked coldly.
"So what are these things?"
Zhao Haizhi quickly brought something up.
It is a box.
After seeing the box.
Consort Qi was greatly alarmed!
Inside this box.
It contained musk.
Everyone in the harem knew exactly what musk was used for.
"Consort Qi! You have prepared so much musk in your palace! I would like to ask you about it."
"What do you intend to do with these harmful things? Don't tell me you know nothing, and don't tell me you were just confused for a moment!"
"Even the dogs in the palace wouldn't believe that!"
Consort Qi's eyes darted around.
"This, this is something the former Empress gave me, wanting me to use this musk to harm Consort Jin!"
"Your Majesty, it was a pang of conscience that made me not want to hurt the little princess! So I did not do it."
Consort Xu laughed as if she were listening to a joke!
"I'm so angry I could laugh! Consort Qi! When you're making excuses, can't you at least come up with something plausible?"
"What I said is true!"
Even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't negate what you've done!
"Consort Qi! I don't want to hear any of this! The poisoned wine is already placed in front of you! Drink it now!"
Consort Qi shook her head.
"No! I won't drink it! I won't drink it!"
Consort Xu frowned.
"I have already shown you great courtesy! You are dragging your feet like this! Are you treating the favor I have bestowed upon you as a joke and slapping me in the face?"
Consort Xu glanced at Zhao Haizhi.
Zhao Haizhi immediately picked up the poisoned wine and was about to force it down Qi Zhaoyi's throat!
Consort Qi forcefully knocked the wine away!
"I won't drink! I won't drink! Even if someone is to be punished, it should be the Emperor who issues the decree! I want the Emperor to order my death! I don't want to die here!"
"Xu Qingzhi! You vile woman! Who do you think you are! You're nothing but a concubine! So what if you manage the six palaces? You still can't become empress! If you're so capable, then get the emperor to make you empress, otherwise, compared to the former empress, your status is still far inferior!"
"The Emperor is currently favoring Consort Jin! It won't be long before the Empress's position is hers! You, who can never bear children, will never become the Empress."
"Hahaha! I'll just wait and see! When Consort Jin becomes Empress and surpasses you, will you still treat her as well as you do now!"
"The methods you use to poison her and the little princess will likely be far more terrifying than mine!"
Consort Xu knew that Consort Qi was now going to fight to the death.
They've completely broken off all pretense of civility.
Consort Xu was too lazy to say much to her.
He glanced at Zhao Haizhong.
Consort Qi was quickly dragged away.
...
Inside the torture chamber.
Facing the three essentials of suicide.
Consort Qi shook her head vigorously.
"I will not die! I will not die!"
Zhao Haizhi looked at her coldly.
"I've never seen anyone in this palace who dares to disobey the Imperial Concubine's orders after making a mistake. Only the Eldest Princess has the Emperor's protection."
"The reason why Consort Qi is in such a bad mood is that you are not someone the Emperor cares about."
"I will not die without the Emperor's decree!"
"Oh, how dare Consort Qi demand the Emperor's decree before she'll die! Hold her down!"
The two eunuchs immediately restrained Consort Qi.
Zhao Haizhi picked up the rope.
It strangled Consort Qi!
"Cough cough cough!"
Consort Qi immediately felt breathless!
Zhao Haizhi showed her no mercy.
He used all his strength directly.
They strangled Consort Qi's neck!
In Huafeng Palace.
Consort Xu did not dismiss the crowd.
She wanted everyone to hear the news of Consort Qi's death.
At the beginning.
Zhao Haizhi deliberately came back to give a reply.
"Your Highness, Consort Qi refuses to commit suicide, so this servant has no choice but to do it myself."
Consort Xu said coldly.
"I offered her face, but she refused. She has so blatantly betrayed my good intentions. She is truly humiliating me."
"In that case, let's strangle her with a rope and let her experience what it's like to suffocate and die step by step."
"yes!"
Zhao Haizhi was waiting for Consort Xu to say those words.
Naturally, he acted decisively and ruthlessly afterward.
After Consort Qi died.
Then come back and report.
Consort Xu asked deliberately.
"Tell me and all my sisters about the wretched woman's miserable state."
"Your Majesty, after Qi's neck was broken, it tilted to one side, and I have already ordered her to be thrown into a mass grave."
"Yes!" Consort Xu nodded.
"This is the result I wanted."
This statement has two meanings.
The first meaning is that this was the way to execute Consort Qi.
The second meaning is to use the death of Consort Qi as a warning to others.
Let the women in the harem see what happens when you dare to harm others.
