The First Empress - Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Blessing In Disguise
Huiqi’s expression changed slightly. “Where are you going?”
Linglong said generously, “This concubine will go outside and stick to the courtesy of the monarchs and ministers, so that Prime minister will not think that His Majesty has given this concubine a hand.” When Lan Zhenglin heard this, his expression also became serious. It seemed that the air in the room had thinned out a lot. He tried his best to restrain his voice, “This lowly official didn’t mean that. It’s just …”
You just feel like you’re on the verge of extinction? Linglong sneered. Shouldn’t Lan Sou Yu come over from this position? Why did Linglong take it away? The more Linglong thought about it, the more she felt that Lan Zhenglin was a little loud-mouthed. Not only did he want to control the outer territories, even the inner court would not let go of him. Seeing such an opportunity, she didn’t know what to do.
Hui Qi smiled and said, “It’s just a small matter. Why does Lord Fuchen seem to be a bit reluctant? Lord Fuchen knows that I have always been very good at employing people, including the two generals recommended by Lord Fuchen, right?”
Seeing that Hui Qi was finally speaking up for her, Linglong said, His courage had also grown considerably, Just now, she was afraid that he wouldn’t help her, But now she completely understood, The two things shouldn’t be confused. Asking Lan Zhenglin’s trusted aides to guard the Sword Gate Pass and Jiayuguan Pass, Hui Qi definitely still had a top-notch skill in chess. He still couldn’t figure out what was going on here. However, Linglong gradually understood that it was impossible for him to disappear from the upper study.
Linglong looked at Lan Zhenglin. It was wrong to say that Lan Zhenglin was a good official no matter how he looked, but he had subverted the impression in Linglong’s heart time and time again.
This is a model of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Although every word he says is so careless, it can still have the effect of making you feel intentional. Once this concept is formed, hehe, he is also a super powerful official.
Linglong nodded and retreated to Hui Qi’s side. Hui Qi was sitting in the chair in front of him. Linglong said in a slow tone, “Does the corner of the Emperor’s eye hurt again? Can I help the Emperor massage it?” Hui Qi did not comment and closed his eyes slightly.
Linglong stood behind Hui Qi and slowly reached out to help him massage the acupoints at the corners of his eyes. After a while, Hui Qi’s face looked much redder than before. Lan Zhenglin had seen it, so he probably understood now that Linglong was truly a person with no moral integrity or talent, but she would pose a threat.
As for the words that Lan Sou Yu had described, he felt that Lan Sou Yu had exaggerated the image of her imaginary enemy for no reason. Ling Long was not that powerful.
Linglong looked into Lan Zhenglin’s eyes and smiled, “Lord Zaifu, you’ve seen it now. Ever since Lord Zaifu arrived at the cabinet, I haven’t said a single word about politics. Lord Zaifu is much more relieved now? The Prime Minister said that the government was male, and the one who changed it was a woman. Unfortunately, this concubine did not have the courage and ability to do the things Xi Shi and Wang Qiang did. “” This concubine does not have the courage and ability to do the things that Xi Shi and Wang Qiang did. ”
Lan Zhenglin’s face turned red with a few sentences. He just felt that Linglong’s eloquence was not bad. Her tongue was bright and lotus-shaped, and she was unexpectedly organized. He lowered his head slightly. It seemed that haste made waste. This Bu Linglong still had to slowly understand. Slowly …
“This lowly official is just a kind reminder to the emperor. This is what this lowly official should do. This lowly official has no other intentions.” Lan Zhenglin said resentfully. After he finished speaking, he looked at Linglong and the Emperor. He could tell that the two of them had the same intentions, so he couldn’t even hide the look in their eyes.
Huiqi looked a little tired. He slightly opened his eyes and looked at Lan Zhenglin, saying, “I am tired today. Lord Assistant Minister, go back first and go to Changle Palace to take a look at Ling Ai. As for the imperial edict, Supervisor Li will come to the manor to read it in a short while. Also, let the two generals prepare to leave.”
Although it was a cold tone, Linglong could tell the coldness in her tone. She didn’t know what “on the road” meant. She had ulterior motives and even casually said it. However, these were not important anymore.
Lan Zhenglin stepped forward and prepared to leave. He then retreated. Huiqi smiled and said, “I almost forgot. Eunuch Lu, bring over the Tiger Talisman.”
Eunuch Lu took two white jade tigers from the box in the back hall. This tiger talisman was split into two. The two tigers quickly turned into four tigers. The other two tigers were given to Lan Zhenglin, and the remaining ones to Huiqi.
When Lan Zhenglin saw that his goal had been achieved, he left like the soles of his feet were greased with oil. When Lan Zhenglin left, Linglong’s hand that was pressing down on the acupoints slowly stopped. What happened just now caused Linglong’s fingers to feel slightly cold. Huiqi held Linglong’s cold hands and said, “What, are you scared?”
Linglong finally saw these old officials and said, “He looks like an honest official, but there is a rebellion in his bones. I don’t know what to say, but I can feel an invisible pressure coming from him.” Huiqi smiled and said, “It’s good to see it. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see it.”
Linglong complained, “Since the Emperor clearly understands why the Emperor gave the Tiger Talisman to Lan Zaifu, isn’t the Emperor afraid that Lan Zaifu will send the Emperor’s army? This person can see that there are two sides to it. Besides, the two generals are his son-in-law and his students, and they will become even more uncontrollable at that time.”
Huiqi smiled when he heard this. “You said you wouldn’t interfere in politics.”
Only then did Linglong know that she had repeatedly knelt down, “This concubine is not meddling in politics. She is merely complaining to the men at the border. She thinks that the heroic men of the Dali Dynasty are all heaven hunters outside Juyan City, and the white grass is burning fiercely in the wilderness.” Landing in the hands of such a person, It was really a secret vote, “Your Majesty” Linglong sighed, but Huiqi laughed heartily. After laughing, he said sinisterly, “The sword gate is easy to defend but difficult to attack, Outside Jiayuguan is the Great Wall, there is a sneak attack, when the time comes, I will arrange a team to disguise as the huns outside Jiayuguan, the other half disguise as Rou Ran, and then … “Huiqi smiled and held Linglong’s wrist.
Linglong felt that the Emperor was indeed formidable. He smiled and said, “Then let the two teams wrap around the two generals. The two armies didn’t have eyes when they fought. I don’t know who killed the general by accident, so when the time comes, the frontier soldiers will fight with their enemies in order to avenge the general. As a result, they will fight even harder, won’t they, Your Majesty?”
Hui Qi was also secretly shocked when he heard this. Linglong’s thoughts were exactly the same as his own. This was a woman. If it wasn’t for a woman, it was simply unimaginable.
“However,” Linglong was a little worried, “Your Majesty must know that you must have an elite teacher, and that you must grasp the time properly.”
Huiqi smiled faintly as if he was reminiscing. Linglong could see the mockery contained in that smile, “Commander Jiang and Imperial Guard Long split up. Do you think you can win a big victory?” Besides, the soldiers of the border are all united. Who doesn’t know who the new general is? The two teams are obviously two teams, and the other team is secretly one. Their goal is another … ”
Thinking of this, Linglong smiled faintly. “The Emperor is indeed the Emperor. He is truly an outstanding genius. I’m afraid Elder Lan will not understand until the end. The White Jade Tiger is just a toy.”
Huiqi’s smile was as beautiful as a jar of wine. “Sometimes, in front of power, everything is a toy, including people.”
Linglong naturally understood that these toys also included her, but what could she do?
“In the future,” Hui Qi said indifferently, “you don ‘t have to care, “It’s fine here. What others say is someone else’s business. I am the son of heaven. Without me, no one can let you leave the inner court. They all have their own plans. Lan Zaifu is right. You are a smart person, so when you are able to help me, you must speak freely. From today onwards, I will forgive you for saying that you are innocent.”
“But,” Ling Long’s heart was moved and her throat shook slightly. “However, this concubine is a woman. The women of the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics. Your Majesty, you also understand.”
Huiqi looked at Linglong. Her troubled eyes shook slightly. Linglong could feel Huiqi’s feelings for her. She lowered her eyes slightly. Huiqi said, “Sometimes, what you said is good. If you were right, it would be helpful.” The ones who messed up the politics were Bao Si and King You of Zhou, the dukes of the Fire Beacon Play, and King Zhou and Da Ji of the Jiuchi Flesh Forest. You, Linglong, you are not that kind of woman at all. “Speaking of which, I am not such a monarch, so it would be false to say that I am in chaos.”
Linglong was even more touched. Looking at Huiqi, an indescribable warm current flowed through her heart. It was like a spring spring breaking ice, gurgling and moistening her limbs and bones. A little tear almost flowed down her face. Her wish was about to come true. No matter what, she finally held onto the safety of the entire family.
“Does the Emperor really trust me so much?” Linglong was still a little worried. When Hui Qi heard Ling Long’s words, he smiled and said, “Of course I do. How can I be a fool? I will only accept your words if I feel that they are reasonable. On the other hand, I don’t care at all. I don’t want your superiority to be unable to display it. Your revenge is imprisoned. I am also a little reluctant to part with you.”
Linglong’s face unconsciously turned red, and she hurriedly turned her head. At this moment, Huiqi grasped Linglong’s wrist and said, “My forehead hurts. Help me knead it a little.”
Linglong was surprised. “This concubine doesn’t know how to massage. She was just messing around just now. As the saying goes, pain doesn’t hurt. But pain doesn’t make sense. If Your Majesty really has a headache, it would be better for Pei Minghai to come over and take a look. Your Majesty …”
“Although Pei Minghai’s medical skills are good, they aren’t as fast as yours. I’ll let you suppress them for now.” Huiqi seemed to be in a good mood. Linglong hurriedly pressed down on Huiqi’s temples.
