The First Empress - Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Impeachment Of Empress Begins
After a few days, Little Pei came back and replied, “Now that Lan Sou Yu has already reached the perfection of her virtue, she looks like she has lost a lot of weight, making people feel even more haggard.”

Hearing this, Linglong’s heart was not calm. Instead, she was a little shocked. It was time to go to the study room. After Linglong accompanied Pei for a few words, she hurriedly went to the study room.

The weather gradually became cold. Linglong wore thick clothes and accompanied Qin’er to school for the Emperor’s son’s place. The frost and precipitation traces were retracted and the light green scales were dewed on the distant continent. Linglong stood outside and waited for Eunuch Lu’s reply. Eunuch Lu had already come out after a while. He took a deep breath and said, “Go inside the Empress Dao. The Emperor is waiting inside.”

Linglong went into school for the Emperor’s son. Huiqi worriedly held up the cinnabar pen and bowed to Huiqi. After that, she stood aside and helped Huiqi grind the pine smoke ink. Huiqi accidentally raised his head and threw the cinnabar pen to the side. “How presumptuous. It’s getting more and more outrageous. Isn’t it going to take a little time to impeach me?”

Linglong didn’t know why, so she looked at Huiqi and asked, “Why is the Emperor angry?”

Huiqi handed over the bright yellow memorial. Linglong tested her body slightly and smiled, “Your Majesty, stop joking. Your concubines are not allowed to see these things.” Linglong didn’t want people to know that she had read the memorial. As long as she read it once a day, she would have endless pages waiting for her. Therefore, Linglong didn’t want to look at it and said, “Your Majesty, what exactly does that mean?”

Huiqi’s hand was like a tall branch rising from the crown of a tree, The memorial in Huiqi’s hand was like a fallen leaf that was about to fall. Linglong did not want to catch the fallen leaf, nor did she frown. Huiqi said, “I won’t let you see anything else if you want to see me. Now this one has something to do with you. If you don’t look at it, it won’t make sense.”

“Your Majesty is used to teasing me. I’m just a woman from the palace. Who would mention me in a memorial?” Although Linglong said this, her heart was still beating slightly. She had already understood these things, and her investigation was indeed appropriate.

Huiqi’s expression was like a rigid stone. He looked at Linglong and said, “You should take a look. I order you to take a look at this memorial.”

Linglong took it and threw the ink ingot in her hand to the side. “Fu Wei, this concubine is not allowed to enter or leave the study room. The study room is the high pavilion of this country, and concubines are not allowed to enter or leave. However, the Emperor actually allowed the concubine to enter the study room. Furthermore, this official has investigated it clearly. This official pleads with the Emperor to punish her severely …”

Before Linglong could finish reading the memorial, it landed on the table. She saw that Huiqi gritted his teeth and said, “What does the Emperor think?”

Huiqi smiled faintly. He looked at Linglong and secretly clenched his fists. He nodded and said, “There are some things that are not as simple as you think. I will temporarily suppress this matter. However, if I do not disobey my expectations, if I do not reply here tomorrow, this topic will immediately appear on the front page.”

“This is a crime that you want to commit. Your Majesty, there is no excuse for you to commit such a crime. Your Majesty must be prepared.” Linglong looked at Huiqi sadly. Huiqi’s tense lips curved into a gentle arc and smiled. “You know you want to add insult to injury. Are you scared?”

Linglong nodded and hurriedly shook her head. “This concubine is not afraid. With the Emperor and the Empress as the masters of this concubine, this concubine is not afraid.”

This was what Huiqi liked about Linglong, Before things happened, he was usually calm. After things happened, he would think about it very clearly. Huiqi threw the memorial to the side and handed over the silver scissors to cut the candle wick from the pen container. He said, “It’s good to use the scissors to cut the memorial in anger. I will give you justice. You can rest assured.”

Linglong took the silver scissors and felt that it was inappropriate. This was not the duke of the Fire Beacon Drama. The memorial represented Huang Quan. Even if there were no substantive comments, it would be a blasphemy if this thing was cut into pieces. Thus, she threw away the silver scissors and said, “Your concubine, please don’t look at it. Just treat it as if you didn’t see it. You won’t cut the sacred object.”

It was obvious that Huiqi was slightly dissatisfied with Linglong’s performance. He said, “Are you still afraid? I told you that I would help you. I will always stand on the side of the Empress and you, but I have to personally take care of such a trivial matter. Linglong, ah, Linglong!” Seeing that Huiqi was a little angry, Linglong complained, “Your Majesty, this concubine is going to start shredding memorials. However, you can’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, people will make fun of your concubine.”

Actually, she was teasing the “Emperor”. However, Linglong knew the wind and had a lot of wisdom to speak. Huiqi smiled when he saw that Yishu had turned into a pile of messy waste paper. “This is not fear of power. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. Remember what happened today. If someone wants to bully you, you have to stand up. Otherwise, this person will bully you for the rest of your life!”

Linglong remembered, and Huiqi said, “Rather than sitting and getting beaten up, why don’t you stand up and hit someone? Do you understand?”

“I understand.” Linglong timidly stood back in the distance and helped Huiqi continue grinding. Huiqi smiled and said, “There’s enough ink today. You can go back.” Linglong smiled and said, “I’m leaving. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Actually, Linglong no longer had any memories in her heart. After tomorrow’s morning court, everything might turn upside down. Lan Zhenglin already knew about his daughter drinking brown rice. How could he let Linglong and Ji Zhuhua off so easily? Tomorrow’s memorial must be a great sinner. Some of them were missing.

“Tomorrow, just continue to come, no matter what others say.” As Huiqi spoke, she held Linglong’s wrist. Linglong looked at Huiqi and said, “Tomorrow, will this concubine really come over?”

Huiqi sneered, “Lord, you just have to come. I will not alienate you just because of a minister’s words, and I will not listen to slander and keep you away from me forever. I know what to do, do you know?” Linglong secretly gritted her teeth. Since that was the case, of course she knew. “Even if someone were to use a knife to slaughter my throat, I would still come to school for the Emperor’s son at this time tomorrow. Don’t worry, Your Majesty.”

Hearing this, Huiqi felt much more relieved. He looked at Linglong and said, “Leave.”

Linglong left. No matter what happened today, Linglong had already made up her mind to go to the study tomorrow.

Qin’er greeted Linglong. Linglong asked, “Did Little Pei come over and say something?”

Qin’er thought for a while and said, “Nothing. However, it seems that Lan Sou Yu is really not free to move now. The Empress has gone to Lan Sou Yu’s place again, and once again has allowed Lan Sou Yu to recover peacefully. I’m afraid she has guessed it.”

Linglong nodded and said, “I didn’t guess. It has already begun. I can’t go back now. Let’s go to Kun De Palace and ask for the Empress’ words first. Once the Empress finds out about the news, it will be easy for her to make plans.”

When Linglong arrived at Kun De Palace, Ji Zhuhua didn’t seem to mind at all. Seeing Linglong come in, he asked, “Did you just come from the upper study?”

Linglong nodded and sat down.

Ji Zhuhua said, “Let this palace guess. The Emperor has already told you that someone publicly impeached this palace in the court. He said that this palace’s intentions are not right. Placing-your purpose in school for the Emperor’s son is obvious. This palace’s Sima Zhaozhi’s heart is well known to everyone, but is that so?” Although Ji Zhuhua was saying this, he didn’t grind his teeth. It was still the same smile as before. This made Linglong feel very strange. He was obviously angry, but his eyebrows didn’t even shake at all.

Linglong nodded, “It’s not that serious. It’s just a matter of courtesy before military action. The emperor said that someone went on a memorial service. There was indeed a mention of the empress and her concubines. She said that the empress appeased her concubines and deliberately let her go to school for the Emperor’s son to mess up politics!” “This concubine is just a concubine who is underestimated. I don’t have that much ability to be a concubine in chaotic politics. Besides, my lord is wise. Is it possible for a group of concubines to dominate their actions?”

Ji Zhuhua sneered, “Your Majesty, what do you say? This matter is your Majesty’s family matter. All we need to do is look at your Majesty’s intentions. Even if the ministers outside make a ruckus, it will be in vain.”

Linglong also thought the same way. “The Emperor only said one thing.”

Ji Zhuhua naturally looked forward to the Emperor’s reply and asked, “What did the Emperor say?”

Linglong said, “The Emperor said that he would let me continue to the study room tomorrow morning, completely ignoring what I said. I also said something.”

Ji Zhuhua smiled and looked at Linglong, “What did you say?”

“This concubine said that even if there were knives, spears, swords, halberds, sky, red rain, and up and down knives tomorrow morning, this concubine would still be the same as before. This concubine would not be able to bear Yang Guozhong’s accusation!” As Linglong spoke, she almost cried out in grievance. Ji Zhuhua comforted, “Don’t be like this. Anyway, this palace is leading the way. They want to impeach this palace first. Have you seen any empress who was unable to sit down because of the minister’s few words?” This was something that had never happened before. Linglong smiled faintly and said, “I have never seen it before.”

Ji Zhuhua said, “Because the empress is the empress, not even dogs and cats can be qualified for the priesthood. Lan Zhenglin really thinks that he can be the empress without me, Lan Sou Yu. What a fantasy.”

Linglong also admired Empress Ji Zhuhua’s iron wrist technique. She smiled and nodded her head, saying, “The Empress has a high opinion. This concubine is beyond my reach. I only wish to chase after the Empress and walk with her staff. In the future, I will learn more and more. I will not let the Empress down.”

Ji Zhuhua said, “You are a smart person. You immediately understand some of the things that you said. When it comes to Lan Sou Yu, she is in danger. Don’t be afraid that Lan Sou Yu, a tiger with her teeth pulled out, will bite you. Let’s go and accompany Ben Gong to see how this tiger is now.”

Once the tit-for-tat battle had reached the stage, it was always on the verge of exploding. Ji Zhu Hua had now completely begun to suppress Lan Sou Yu. In the past, he had been afraid that the Emperor would be restrained, but now, even the Empress had acquiesced. It was best not to do so.

“She will be the second Concubine Heshu, she will.” Ji Zhuhua didn’t know if he was talking to Linglong or to himself. This sentence suddenly floated in the wind, but it was quickly dispersed by the wind and shattered into pieces in the air.

The two of them arrived at Changle Palace one after the other. Linglong looked at this place. Everything was the same as before. However, there were many seals on the corner door and the side door. It was as if a magical event was going on here.
