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

Qi Yitang has always been a person with a volatile and easily ignited personality.

I heard from Yunzhu that Ning Nishang had been waiting for Lu Linbai for most of the day, caught a cold and developed a fever. She was like a lit firecracker, her anger rising straight to the roof.

However, she wouldn't smash things when she was angry—mainly because the porcelain and various ornaments in her palace were precious gifts from Xie Ling, and she couldn't bear to part with them.

He then mistook a pillow for Lu Linbai and pounded it hard with a laundry mallet, yelling, "Lu Linbai, you've got guts!"

"Who do you think you are, refusing to go just like that? Do you think you can treat people like dogs toying with?"

He pounded on and on until the pillow was deformed and the embroidered fabric inside tore and fell apart.

"Someone like you will definitely be reborn as a worthless piece of trash in your next life!"

"Go to hell!"

She hit and cursed, spewing out all sorts of vicious words.

Yunzhu and Yunying were horrified and rushed forward, "Your Highness, Your Highness—please stop fighting! Be careful not to hurt yourself!"

Qi Yitang was blinded by anger. Didn't the comments say that Lu Linbai was a devoted and good man who remained chaste towards the female lead and would not marry anyone but her?

She thought he would be the exception, able to change the melodramatic plot of the original story and give the female lead a happy ending.

And the result—

Pure bullshit!

The comments section largely understood Qi Yitang's anger: "Why didn't Lu Linbai go? The female lead's appearance is practically identical to her childhood self; she's recognizable at a glance. Why shouldn't he go?"

In my opinion, he's not even as good as the male lead. At least the male lead is superficially hypocritical, while this guy doesn't even bother pretending.

Please don't compare one pile of shit to another, okay? Because these are two piles of shit.

[That shouldn't be the case. Little Fatty agreed readily yesterday and didn't seem reluctant at the time. Could there be some misunderstanding?]

It would be great if a full-view mode could be enabled, so I could switch between different perspectives at will.

The female lead is inherently a delicate, fragile, and easily hurt type, especially sensitive and prone to internal conflict. She'll be heartbroken!

Qi Yitang was even angrier after reading the comments. She was angry that they misled her and made her find Lu Linbai, such a lunatic, from the most obscure corners of the internet. She was also angry at herself for being too trusting of the comments.

She thought that since she had arranged everything, everything would fall into place and the female lead would live happily ever after.

As a result, she pooped a huge amount.

Ugh, I'm still so angry!

Qi Yitang grew angrier the more she thought about it, and threw the mallet in her hand out the door.

"His Majesty--"

Suddenly, a clanging and banging noise came from outside, mixed with a eunuch's startled cry, "Are you alright?"

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Qi Yitang was startled and quickly went out to check. She saw a group of people gathered at the bottom of the steps at the entrance, and Xie Ling was right in the middle.

The eunuchs looked terrified, unsure if the emperor had been hit.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing...?" Li Degui hesitated, wanting to ask if she was performing acrobatics.

Before His Majesty even entered the room, a club flew out from inside and smashed straight into his face.

If His Majesty hadn't reacted quickly and nimbly dodged, he would have gotten a big bump on his forehead.

"The inkstone..."

Seeing Xie Ling, Qi Yitang felt as if she had found her pillar of support. Her nose tingled and her eyes reddened. Lifting her skirt, she rushed straight into Xie Ling's arms. "You're finally here. Someone bullied me..."

Before Xie Ling could even feel elated by his wife's leaping attack, his expression turned serious.

"Who?"

His gaze swept over the palace servants, and the emperor's imposing presence terrified the eunuchs and maids, making them tremble in fear. Bullying the imperial concubine? In all honesty, they wouldn't dare!

Although she was supposed to be under house arrest, the Imperial Concubine actually lived a more comfortable life than the Empress Dowager. Who would dare to bully her?

Xie Ling also knew that there was probably someone else who could make Qi Yitang feel frustrated.

...It's Xie Jingyu again?

So your ghost is still haunting you, huh? Looks like you've been living too carefree.

"All of you, leave." Xie Ling waved everyone away, picked up Qi Yitang, and carried her towards the inner hall.

Li Degui, along with Yunzhu and Yunying, retreated to wait outside the hall.

When they reached the bedside, Xie Ling did not put her down. Instead, he sat down and held Qi Yitang in his arms, wiping away the tears that welled up in her eyes with his fingertips.

"Who bullied you? Tell me."

Qi Yitang said indignantly, "It's that despicable Prince Anning, and your good-for-nothing cousin!"

"What's wrong with him?"

Xie Ling's spies were all over Shengjing, so it could be said that no dirty business could be hidden from the emperor. However, he was usually very busy and had no interest in the trivial matters and family squabbles of the ministers.

As long as things don't go too far, they'll basically turn a blind eye.

If it weren't for Qi Yitang's enthusiasm for playing matchmaker, she wouldn't have cared about this king or that king at all.

Yesterday, after a brief exchange of pleasantries and arrangements for a meeting, Xie Ling didn't think much of it, but unexpectedly, things went wrong.

Qi Yitang rambled on, embellishing the story, "My cousin is already frail, and she developed a high fever after being caught in the rain. I don't know how long it will take for her to recover. Does Lu Linbai look down on me? That's why he humiliated my cousin like this. He must think I've fallen out of favor and wants to take this opportunity to teach me a lesson. His methods are extremely despicable!"

After ruthlessly belittling Lu Linbai, Qi Yitang reached out and shook Xie Ling's sleeve repeatedly.

"Yanzhi, can you help me teach him a lesson?"

Xie Ling indulged her unconditionally, asking, "How does Tangtang want to be disciplined?"

Qi Yitang liked this about Xie Ling; no matter how much she acted up or whether her requests were reasonable or not, he would never get impatient and would always speak gently to her.

It seems that everything else can be forgiven except for her changing her mind and falling for someone else.

He's a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Xie Jingyu!

After subtly putting her down, Qi Yitang returned to the main topic, "How should I teach her a lesson? Let me think..."

Lu Linbai is a junior but senior, and Xie Ling can't do anything to him openly, but who says you can't resort to underhanded tactics?

"I've got it!" Qi Yitang grinned maliciously. "When Lu Linbai leaves, we'll have someone tie him up, stuff him in a sack, and give him a good beating!"

How childish.

Xie Ling chuckled, but still agreed, "Alright, I'll have my guards put a sack over his head and beat him black and blue, the kind that will make you feel good."

Qi Yitang's eyes lit up. "That's right, that's exactly how it should be!"
