The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Qin Zhenxiong is dead.

He still colluded with the Northern Rong, intending to usurp the throne, but was killed by his own daughter in a show of righteousness.

This affair is even more astonishing than Consort Li's affair with Prince Gong and her pregnancy with an illegitimate child.

This also raises the question: Could there be something wrong with the Qin family's ancestral graves?

However, Qin Zhenxiong killed the Northern Rong King Tuoba Jun before his death, which was the last good deed he did. The rest was left to be handled by his deputy generals Zhang Zhuo and Song Xinghe, and the remaining Northern Rong forces would be wiped out soon.

The Northwest is finally at peace.

At the same time, a list of Qin Zhenxiong's crimes was made public—embezzling military funds, condoning his subordinates to seize farmland, torture and kill surrendered soldiers, and even using living people as bait...

Each and every one of these incidents is too numerous to recount.

Previously, all the court officials who had sided with Qin Zhenxiong had been dealt with, and the remaining officials had basically reached a consensus.

If the emperor breaks the law, he shall be punished the same as the common people; his property shall be confiscated, his title stripped, and he shall be exiled three thousand li away.

This was only because the Qin family was the maternal clan of the emperor; otherwise, all the men and women would have been slaughtered.

The emperor granted the request and, with great leniency, allowed the seventy-year-old Duke Cheng'en and his wife to remain in the capital to enjoy their retirement, instead of being exiled. After all, the two elderly people were old and frail, and this was considered a final act of affection.

However, that very night, the elderly couple, Cheng'en Gong and his wife, hanged themselves.

Their son rebelled, their granddaughter lived a life of illicit affairs; they failed to raise their children properly and have no face to live in this world.

The emperor was deeply saddened and gave him a grand funeral.

……

During this period, the Qin family experienced a complete upheaval.

First, Qin Lianyue's affair and pregnancy were exposed, causing panic throughout the Chengen Duke's mansion.

Although the emperor did not punish the Qin family, the Scorpion Guards surrounded the mansion layer by layer, and not even a fly could get out.

After her initial panic, Yang Lanru managed to remain calm. As long as her husband returned to the capital, Xie Ling wouldn't dare to do anything to Yue'er.

But all of this was shattered when news of Qin Zhenxiong's death arrived.

"Dead? How could it be... how could it be..." Yang Lanru's face was covered in tears, and she kept repeating this sentence over and over.

For a long time, the Qin family has been able to act with impunity in the capital, relying on the fact that the Duke of Chengen's mansion was the maternal grandfather of the emperor and Qin Zhenxiong was the emperor's maternal uncle. Even princesses and princes had to give way to them.

But as soon as the tree fell, the monkeys scattered, and before they could even mourn, the old couple hanged themselves one after the other.

The entire mansion was filled with wailing and howling.

Qin Shaoxuan was too young to accept these successive blows.

He locked himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink, muttering to himself, "How could this be? How could Father rebel... What will we do if Father dies?"

Yang Lanru cried all day long, cursing everyone but Qin Jiangli, "It's all your father's fault for raising such an ingrate! That slut clearly had ill intentions, but your father wouldn't believe it! And look what happened, he even brought her along to the war, and now everything's ruined..."

Qin Yuanchao was extremely flustered. "Mother, stop talking."

Just then, the Marquis of Yongchang and his wife arrived at the door, bringing with them a divorce agreement.

It's true that Qin Zhenxiong has wolfish ambitions, but their daughter has only been married into the Qin family for less than half a year, has no children, and is completely unaware of the situation. Of course, they can't just stand by and watch their daughter be implicated.

Lady Yongchang specially sought the favor of Consort Qi, who granted them permission to divorce.

From now on, men and women will not interfere with each other's marriages.

Seeing Qin Yuanchao sign the divorce papers without any hesitation, Liang Yun gave a self-deprecating smile.

That's true. He's never even looked at her properly. This marriage isn't even one-sided. How could she be reluctant to give it up?

The Liang family had just taken the person away when the imperial edict arrived from the palace.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Qin Zhenxiong's plot to rebel is true and his crime is unforgivable. However, considering his meritorious service in suppressing the Northern Rong during his lifetime... the Qin family's property is confiscated, and the entire household is exiled three thousand li to Lingnan, never to return to the capital..."

Once the imperial edict was issued, not only Qin Zhenxiong's lineage, but also his brother's lineage was implicated.

The entire Qin family is now ruined.

After the imperial edict was read aloud, the eunuch swept his gaze across the faces—some filled with fear, some with despair, and some with numbness—and asked in a shrill voice, "Who is Qin Xinxi?"

Qin Xinxi trembled, her small face turning deathly pale. "It is...my daughter."

The eunuch looked her up and down, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. "Prince Anning specifically requested that you serve him. Pack your things and come with me."

Qin Xinxi was stunned for a moment, her mind went blank, Prince Anning?

She had acted rashly and impersonated Ning Nishang, but later regretted it—regretted not impersonating her completely and missing the opportunity.

She had considered seeking help from Prince Anning, after all, he was the emperor's uncle, holding a high position and great power. They had met once before, and he had smiled at her with affection.

But when the message couldn't be sent out, Qin Xinxi was filled with despair and gave up hope. Unexpectedly... things took a turn for the better.

Her parents and brothers beside her had ashen faces and their eyes were filled with despair at the impending exile. Although Qin Xinxi felt the same way, she was also secretly overjoyed to have escaped this ordeal.

Little did she know that what awaited her was something far more terrifying than exile.

……

After the Qin family fell from power, Bai Ruichu, who had previously fawned over Qin Lianyue, completely quieted down.

Not long after the Qin family was exiled, news came from prison—

Qin Lianyue is dead.

She committed suicide by cutting her wrists with a broken bowl, resulting in the deaths of both herself and her unborn child.

Whether it was because too many people had died recently or because of the chilly autumn rain, Qi Yitang suddenly felt that the palace was desolate and lonely.

Qin Lianyue wasn't that good, but in the original story, she was also a vicious female supporting character who did all sorts of bad things.

She became insane and vicious because she was jealous of the female lead taking away her family's affection and became obsessed with the male lead. Qin Lianyue was similar.

They were just cannon fodder in other people's stories.

Not everyone gets a second chance. Without the comments... her fate would have been to be forced into prostitution, a hundred times more tragic than Qin Lianyue's.

Moreover, there have been fewer and fewer bullet comments during this period.

Qi Yitang is sometimes afraid—afraid that this is all a dream.

If she wakes up from the dream and is still that stupid and wicked supporting female character, what should she do? What should Xie Ling do?

He wouldn't have died if he hadn't loved himself so much.

That day, Xie Ling returned to Yaotang Palace after finishing his official duties and found Qi Yitang lying listlessly in bed.

I asked the palace maid and found out that she hadn't even eaten dinner and seemed to be in a bad mood because she had a nightmare.

Xie Ling frowned. The Qin family had left behind a lot of trouble these days, and the Empress Dowager in the harem had also fallen ill. He was so busy attending court every day that he barely had time to rest.

Xie Ling reflected that it was his fault; he had forgotten that she couldn't take care of herself at all.

"Tangtang." He personally went to the small kitchen to cook a bowl of hot porridge and brought it back, calling softly, "You'll be hungry if you don't eat dinner. Come, let me feed you."

With the food in front of her mouth, Qi Yitang opened her mouth and took two bites, then shook her head.

"I have no appetite, I don't want to eat..."

"Where do you feel unwell?" Xie Ling reached out and touched her forehead. She didn't have a fever. "Or is something on your mind?"

Qi Yitang's eyes were slightly red, and she nuzzled his full chest with her nose, her voice sounding wet and nasal, "Yanzhi."

"Um?"

Qi Yitang suddenly asked, "If I were a very wicked person, would you still be so good to me?"

"Who upset you?" Xie Ling frowned. "Is it because I haven't been able to keep you company these past two days that you're unhappy?"

Qi Yitang's nose stung with tears. "No, I had a dream. I dreamt that I was very, very bad... I killed you."
