The First Empress - Chapter 113
Chapter 113 Meet By Narrow Road
Linglong watched as Pei Minghai was busy. She pursed her lips slightly and wanted to laugh. Finally, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Master, is everything alright here?”
Pei Minghai smiled calmly and patted the immortal crane’s makeup. “I heard that the empress was the one who helped me. Sure enough, there are no such things here.”
“Master, have you looked carefully?” Linglong asked.
Pei Minghai nodded his head firmly. “Naturally, it was extremely detailed.” Linglong was filled with melancholy when she heard this, but why did she have no children? When it came to gambling in the harem, it was usually the dragon descendants, but she had never had the good luck to make a sound of thunder.
Back then, when Li Chongyuan was pregnant, Linglong was so happy. When she saw Li Chongyuan’s belly growing taller and taller day by day, she was so proud. She knew that there was a tender little life slowly growing up inside, and it was going to be separated from her mother’s body in the end.
However, he didn’t expect that even if he was pregnant, he wouldn’t be able to ripen it.
There were simply too many variables in the harem.
Pei Minghai naturally noticed Linglong’s worries and smiled, “Your Lady has her own good fortune. Sometimes, these things need to be waited for. What do you think?” Linglong could only reproach herself and nod her head. “I know, but I still want to be a mother.”
Pei Minghai continued to laugh, “Your Highness is in good health. However, the time has not yet come, so why is Your Highness in such a hurry?”
Linglong recognized the meaning behind Pei Minghai’s words, nodded, and rewarded him. Pei Minghai thanked him for his kindness.
Linglong waited for Pei Minghai to leave. He was still uneasy in his heart, No matter what, she could not keep these things. Not only could she not keep them, she could not give them to others. She was already frightened by what she heard just now. The dust on any plate was also poisonous, the candles were also poisonous, the lotus flowers in the fish tank were also poisonous, and the feathers on the feather duster were also poisonous.
Isn’t that a bit too tragic? Even the string of black pearls on Lan Sou Yu’s neck had the fragrance of musk. She was truly scared.
Linglong let Qin’er and Li Sheng tidy up all the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion before letting out a sigh of relief.
“Master, can you be at ease now?” Qin’er smiled.
Linglong did not have the spirit to laugh apologetically. She nodded her head and said, “You must be on guard. Did you not hear me believe that Pei Minghai was not alarmist? What he said is reasonable.”
Qin’er chuckled, “I heard that there is a local method in the folk that is to give offspring to the goddess of mercy. Why don’t you give it a try, Your Highness?”
“Damn it!” Linglong slightly complained and glanced over at her beautiful eyes. “You should remember to hit me. I grew up reading the Book of Sages. I’ve never seen anyone who was pregnant because of praying to the gods and worshipping Buddha. I don’t believe it. I told you in the harem …”
Linglong was full of worries, but she didn’t believe it. But why did she feel a little restless?
Sheng saw through Linglong’s thoughts and smiled. She walked to Linglong’s side. “Your Highness, it’s fine to give it a try. I recall that the mother of the Seven Kings Hui Ye was unable to conceive. It’s said that she was pregnant because she gave birth to the Seven Kings. Also, Imperial Concubine Wu Gui and Imperial Concubine Liang from the previous dynasty, how could she know that there was no such a thing in this world?”
“The more you say it, the more outrageous it is.” Linglong looked at Qin’er and Li Sheng with resentment. “Rest early. Stop talking nonsense. This palace is also tired.”
Li Sheng smiled and said, “I was joking. Your Highness, don’t worry about it. However, the Zi Hua Temple in the Upper Forest Garden is quite effective …” Li Sheng was still talking nonstop. Linglong had already gone to the bedroom hall without tiring herself. She didn’t know whose green-haired card the Emperor had flipped through tonight. Linglong waited for a while before she fell asleep.
Tonight, Hui Qi was still in Lan Sou Yu’s Changle Palace. ‘”Your Majesty, I asked Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan to visit me today. They said that I was inadequate when I was young, and that I was too weak to get pregnant. I left a lot of prescriptions for me to boil eight bowls of water into half a bowl of water before I can recuperate.” Lan Shuyu looked at Hui Qi with some dissatisfaction.
Hui Qi slightly closed his eyes, looking tired. “The imperial physician is naturally right. Just do as he says. Don’t report these words to me in the future. If you want anything from the Shanggong Bureau, the Internal Affairs Department has plenty. Just go and get it.”
Lan Sou Yu smiled. “I heard that the Song Zi Guan Yin in Zi Hua Temple is quite effective. The Seven Kings back then were his mother’s imperial concubines …” Hearing this, Hui Qi’s expression changed. “Who did you hear?”
“This concubine–” Lan Sou Yu forced a smile. “This concubine also forgot. I only heard that Zi Hua Temple–”
Huiqi interrupted her coldly, “Who exactly did you hear that from? Don’t mess around, I’m not that easy to mess around with!”
Lan Sou Yu kowtowed repeatedly, “It was said by a palace maid.”
Hearing this, Huiqi felt relieved and nodded his head. “Probably. Just go to bed early. Your body is yours. Just do as the imperial physician says. I understand your communication and difficulties.”
Lan Sou Yu hurriedly wiped away her tears, “Your Majesty, it’s good that you understand.”
Huiqi smiled and said, “If you want to go to Zi Hua Temple to beg for a son, just go.” The imperial concubines in the harem would often do something messy. Huiqi didn’t care at all, and his tone was somewhat cold.
Lan Sou Yu thanked him repeatedly.
The next morning, Lan Sou Yu arrived at the Upper Forest Garden. It was not fun in autumn. Fortunately, Lan Sou Yu did not come to see the scenery. After walking for a while, she arrived at the Buddhist shrine where Song Zi Guan Yin was sent. Facing him, Lan Sou Yu dully chanted those prayers. After that, she smiled.
Zi Hua Temple was one of the temples in the capital. Concubines here would not come when they were idle. After Lan Sou Yu worshipped Guan Yin, she did not know whether it was because of her psychological function or because she believed in the wonderful legend of Guan Yin giving her son away. She happily walked out of Zi Hua Temple.
Early in the morning, Linglong was also preparing to come to the temple to see her son. Linglong firmly believed that she would not believe in the strange power of the Chaotic God. However, there were some facts that made Linglong believe that Linglong could not move forward when she reached the temple’s entrance. She wanted to enter, but she could not move a step.
Just as they were about to enter the valley, the door of the temple opened slightly. Lan Sou Yu and Shaling walked out, and Ling Long could not avoid but nod her head. Lan Sou Yu was in a good mood today. She saw Ling Long walking over with a smile, “Sister Jieyu, are you coming too?”
Linglong said indifferently, “I just came to take a look at the scenery. I forgot about the hour and arrived here.”
‘”Don’t be duplicitous,” Lan Sou Yu smiled. “Isn’t Sister Jie Yu thinking the same as me? I just want to have a dragon descendant.”
Linglong had never thought that Lan Sou Yu would talk to her like this. However, Linglong already had a stereotypical impression of Lan Sou Yu in her heart. Lan Sou Yu was not such a person. She had already experienced both sides of the saber. If it wasn’t for Lan Sou Yu interfering with her, Imperial Concubine He Shu wouldn’t have died so early, and she would have died silently.
Without Lan Sou Yu’s help, Li Chong Yuan would not have given birth.
If it weren’t for Lan Sou Yu’s provocation, Concubine De wouldn’t have had a relationship with the Empress like a fire cooking oil.
Linglong thought a lot, For a moment, his mind turned lightning. The clever Lan Sou Yu continued to approach Ling Long. She almost grabbed Ling Long’s hand. Ling Long hastily dodged Lu Shan’s claw and smiled, “Sister Jieyu, don’t be afraid. It used to be me. Now I only want to maintain a good relationship with my sister. I wonder what Sister Jieyu means.”
Linglong thought for a moment and said without hesitation, “No need. Sister and sister are not on the same path. It is the best choice to be polar opposite. We are enemies but not friends. I will not forgive you for Li Chongyuan’s matter.”
“Li Chongyuan?” Lan Shuyu raised her eyebrows, as if she had completely forgotten about this woman. She finally thought of the skinny woman behind this name and smiled embarrassedly. “Sister Jieyu is lacking, Li Chongyuan was accidentally pushed down by Concubine Heshu back then. If it wasn’t for Concubine Heshu …”
Linglong’s eyes were like lightning as she glanced over. Lan Sou Yu slightly avoided the cold gaze that was sharper than a knife. “Do you really think no one knows?”
‘”Little sister, you–” Lan Sou Yu sighed repeatedly. “You really misunderstood. That day, it was indeed Concubine Heshu who pushed down Li Chongyuan. It has nothing to do with this palace?”
Linglong smiled bitterly. “It doesn’t matter. It’s been so long.” Linglong looked at Lan Sou Yu’s expression. She could tell that Lan Sou Yu’s expression was not very good-looking and slightly trembled. “However, I will never forget it!” Linglong suddenly pulled up Lan Sou Yu’s wrist. Ding Lin, the accessory on her wrist, clanked. Lan Sou Yu was shocked, and she kept shrinking her hand.
‘”Don’t think that no one saw you, don’t think that a dead person can’t speak, you’re wrong.” Linglong coldly held the pair of arms that resisted her, “Don’t think that no one saw you, don’t think that a dead person can’t speak, you’re wrong.”
“You–” Lan Sou Yu retreated repeatedly, “what do you want?”
Linglong laughed, what else could she do? Could it be that he still wanted to defend He Shufei against injustice? He had already helped He Shufei without any guilt.
Linglong looked at Lan Sou Yu with contempt and said, “This is the difference between the Dao and the plan. You should do it yourself.” After saying that, he turned his head and walked to the front.
Linglong looked at the road ahead and felt that everything was so rugged. She only felt that everyone’s hearts were becoming more and more elusive. Their thoughts were a little too deep.
It was like a gem buried deep in the sea, needing to be carefully wiped to see the light.
Linglong didn’t know that making friends with Lan Sou Yu was also beneficial. At the very least, the two of them could get what they wanted, but Ling Long didn’t dare to associate with it, so the two of them didn’t have a chance to talk. Lan Sou Yu stamped her feet slightly as she watched Ling Long walk away. Linglong turned around, looked at Lan Sou Yu, and sighed slightly.
Actually, what the Empress and Chen Chongyi had always warned him of was not wrong. If he could find a way to take a step back, or if he could satisfy any of their acquaintances, things would probably be easier.
However, Linglong did not like to flirt with these people and did things that were not sincere. Linglong hated things like that. She was even more afraid that she would one day become such an unfamiliar face. Linglong’s father had taught her that she had to be honorable since she was young. It was actually good that her father would be blameless for the rest of his life. Linglong walked out of the Upper Forest Garden thinking about what was on her mind.
In order to prevent others from noticing that her expression was abnormal, Linglong even washed her face in the Taiye Lake before returning to Qixia Palace.
Before they could reach the palace gate, Sha Ling had already walked over reluctantly. Linglong looked sideways, and Sha Ling stopped beside Linglong breathlessly. “Master-Master, this is something you lost, isn’t it?”
Linglong touched her waist. Indeed, there was a sachet missing, so she couldn’t help but nod her head.
“My master let me send to the empress, whether master and empress are enemies or friends, the empress or hope you can think twice. After all, everyone in the harem is fiercer than tigers. No one knows what anyone is going to do … “Hearing Shaling’s words, Linglong smiled and took the sachet.” It’s hard for you to carry it. Go tell your master that I, Bu Linglong, don’t think about it. I’m going the right way. ”
Shaling walked away with a bitter face.
Only then did Linglong reach the Qixia Palace. Before she could reach the Cloud Phoenix Palace, she had already thrown the incense sachet in her hand into the turbulent lake water. A few of the exquisite incense sachets had already sunk to the bottom of the lake. Linglong sighed slightly, “How can I have the guts to take what your master sent me?”
