The First Empress - Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Chain
Lan Shuyu was disheartened. Since when did she become a heartbreak herb? She still vaguely remembered the day before yesterday when the two of them were together. She had said a lot of things about life and death, about being happy with Zi Chengyue. Today, it was actually so fast …

This was the first time she understood the Tian Clan’s fortune.

Linglong looked at the two of them and only smiled slightly. She had already finished half of what she wanted to do today, and the remaining half was already brewing in her heart. When the time was ripe, she would say it out loud.

“Sister Jieyu has never been to your Changle Palace. Even if you were to search the palace, you shouldn’t have gone to Bu Jieyu’s place, right?” The Empress’s aggressive and kind expression had already disappeared, replaced by a hatred for steel. After she finished speaking, she looked at Huiqi. Huiqi’s expression did not change because of anything, and she hugged Linglong in her arms.

Linglong resisted slightly, but Huiqi patted Linglong’s hand gently, as if to comfort her. However, it was more like comfort. Linglong seemed to think that Huiqi was hinting at letting Lan Sou Yu go. However, Linglong did not want to let Lan Sou Yu go this time. Instead, she wanted to let Lan Sou Yu understand something completely. She would never be able to provoke her.

“This concubine is wrong. This concubine only remembered that she did not think of the feelings of others. This concubine is wrong. There will definitely be no next time!” Lan Sou Yu apologized repeatedly. Ji Zhu Hua’s expression softened slightly. “Whether next time or not, I will take care of it this time. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people will follow in your footsteps in the future. Therefore, even if I make you unhappy, you will still take the blame this time. Do you understand?”

‘”This concubine understands–” Lan Sou Yu did not even dare to raise her head.

Ji Zhuhua said, “Your Majesty, what do you think?”

Huiqi seemed to be worried and said, “Take off your hairpin and apologize.”

“But is it a bit lighter? It still doesn’t have the effect of deterring others. You should know that the harem is the same as the previous dynasty.” Ji Zhuhua’s tone was as if he was really thinking about something. Of course, Huiqi knew that it was light, but he couldn’t take it seriously. Now was an extraordinary moment, and Ji Zhuhua understood.

Ji Zhu Hua glanced at Ling Long. Originally, it was a matter of one move and two moves. This matter was handled well. First, it could suppress Lan Sou Yu’s arrogance. Second, it could make Ling Long feel comfortable in her heart. However, just taking off her hairpin to apologize still made Ji Zhu Hua feel that it was impossible.

“I asked Perrin to go to the Shanggong Bureau a few days ago to get some things. I heard in a trance that the personal maidservant of Lan Zhaoyuan Palace, Sha Ling, Dao Shanggong Bureau, wants three feet two inches of red cotton thread. This cotton thread reminds me of something.” Ji Zhuhua’s expression slightly changed as he asked Perrin beside him, “What is the number of three feet two inches? Why can’t I remember it?”

It wasn’t that he couldn’t remember, but it was hard to say.

“Your Highness, this must be used for something. There is a saying that this size is used to worship the Red-Line Guanyin.” As Pei Lan spoke, he glanced at Ji Zhuhua and quickly knelt on the ground. “This servant deserves to die. This servant is talking nonsense. This servant really deserves to die!” Ji Zhu Hua said, “Get up, what is there to die for? It’s just a question and answer between this palace and you, not your advice.”

Linglong was secretly shocked. Don’t look at it. No one knows, Who would have thought that the Empress would already know, Moreover, she had already begun to investigate. Linglong had always known that the Queen’s mansion was deep, but she never thought that the courtyard would be a little deeper. It was actually to such a perverted extent. She clearly remembered that only Lan Sou Yu and herself knew about the Red Line Guan Yin at that time. It seemed that nothing could be concealed from the Queen.

“Lan Zhaoyuan, tell me, what sin is it to win in the palace?”

Lan Shuyu knew that she had no choice but to retreat today. She could only admit to asking for leniency. “Your Highness, I don’t know what it means to suppress victory. This was all told to me by others. This concubine is just doing it. This concubine has always been destined to have no children, so this concubine has made such a bad decision. This concubine, this concubine is also, and this concubine has no choice but to do so.”

Ji Zhu Hua didn’t care if she was wronged or not, was she forced to do something helpless? He just sneered and said, “Now that you know, you will be punished for both crimes, Your Majesty, what do you think?”

Because with the Emperor here, even though he didn’t say a word, he was the main character. Ji Zhuhua had to ask the Emperor every time he made a verdict. The Emperor only asked Xuan Yu, “Punish Lan Zhaoyuan for two months of monthly silver. Don’t do so much for me in the future. Today, I forgave you for the Empress’s sake.”

This sentence was odd, but the Empress also understood. Huiqi’s words were unmistakable, and it was difficult to take back his fate. Ji Zhu Hua kowtowed repeatedly, “This concubine thanked the Emperor on behalf of Lan Zhaoyuan.”

“You are wronged. If you encounter such a thing in the future, it’s good that you are beaten up. Don’t let others bully you all the time.” Huiqi said to Linglong.

Linglong only felt that the punishment was too light. It was as if there was no punishment. She smiled and nodded. Only then did Lan Sou Yu get up and was helped by Sha Ling. She was extremely grateful. Hui Qi looked at the time and stood up. “I’m not here anymore. You don’t have to come over today, just stay with the Empress in Kun De Palace and talk.”

Linglong nodded.

After Huiqi left, Ji Zhu Hua arrived beside Ling Long and said, “It’s not that the Emperor appeased Lan Sou Yu. You also know that the Emperor is still useful to her. Otherwise, just winning would be enough to kill the entire Lan Sou Yu family.”

Linglong naturally understood and nodded, “Your Majesty has His Majesty’s intentions.”

“It’s good that you can think of this. Come, come and talk to me.” Ji Zhuhua reached out and held Linglong’s delicate hand. Linglong instinctively resisted. Ji Zhuhua’s hand was really slender and pure white, but even this pair of slender and pure white hands had killed countless people. Linglong was also afraid.

“If only you had sent someone over last night. At that time, the Emperor would have seen you lonely and helpless. However, everything is different now that it’s dawn.” Ji Zhuhua guided her in an orderly manner, as if she was talking to her classmates about what was good or bad, and Linglong nodded and secretly remembered it in her heart.

Ji Zhuhua saw that Linglong did not seem to want to have a long talk, so he said, “You should let the imperial physician take a good look. Did he catch a cold last night? He is not in a good mood at all.”

Linglong nodded repeatedly. The Empress was still worried. After Linglong left, Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan prepared something to follow Linglong.

Linglong walked out of Kun De Palace. The rain had already stopped. There was no feeling of a new rain in Zi Hua City, but a continuous drizzle was quite good. After looting the killing and depression that had been going on for days, Linglong walked into the sunshine and felt her body lighter.

Just as she took a few steps forward, she heard Lan Sou Yu’s voice behind her. Ling Long hurriedly turned her head back.

There were ears on the wall. Linglong didn’t want to talk to Lan Sou Yu outside Kun De Palace, so she quickened her pace. Lan Sou Yu obviously understood Ling Long’s meaning. When Ling Long arrived at a place in front of her, Lan Sou Yu stood beside Ling Long and said, “I’m sorry for what happened last night.”

Linglong smiled faintly. “The Emperor has already said that this will not happen again. This palace knows that elder sister will definitely take care of herself, so there is nothing wrong with saying that I’m sorry.”

Lan Sou Yu heard Ling Long say this, She thought that Linglong didn’t have any grudges, She smiled and said, “Sister Jieyu, I don’t know if you’ve considered what I said. To be honest, you saw it today. The Emperor and the Empress are also cowards. This palace naturally knows why they are so lenient. It’s not because I have a father in Prime Minister, so sister Jieyu, you have to see the situation clearly.”

Linglong smiled lightly. “The situation is stronger than others. I can’t help but feel helpless. Let’s muddle along in Jianghu. This palace is very tired today. I want to go back.”

Seeing that Ling Long didn’t want to talk, Lan Sou Yu grabbed Ling Long’s wrist and said, “Little sister Jie Yu, do you really need to consider it?”

Linglong held onto Lan Suyu’s wrist, which was like a pair of iron pincers. She struggled slightly to free herself. “It’s really not that you don’t think about it. Evil is unrighteous. I believe you know better than anyone else. Why bother deceiving yourself? Besides, things in the previous dynasty are more changeable than in the harem. This palace is just afraid that there won’t be any eggs left under the nest. Therefore, this palace is grateful for your kindness.”

‘”Don’t tell me this palace doesn’t know how to stand alone? But little sister, you also saw that this harem is full of tricks. Do you really think that there’s no point in the Empress helping you? The Empress only takes what she needs, and the Empress still puts her own interests first. Could it be that you really don’t see through it?” Lan Sou Yu struggled for the last time. This sentence was like a steel needle stabbing into Ling Long’s chest. After many things proved, Ling Long was only sure that what Lan Sou Yu said was true.

Then he turned his head and looked at Lan Sou Yu and said, “There are some things that everyone knows very well. Why bother to say it out loud? What do you think, Sister Lan Zhao Yuan?”

Lan Sou Yu sighed, “Good birds choose to live on trees. This palace is still the same. The palace gate of this palace’s Changle Palace will always be open to the Empress. This palace’s Empress can also carry forward the past and make an exception. In this harem, only this palace and Sister Jieyu can form an alliance to resist anyone. Of course, this includes the Empress.”

Linglong pretended not to hear, waved her hand and said, “Farewell, let’s talk about these things in the future.”
