The First Empress - Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Kill Two Birds with One Stone
When she arrived at Changle Palace, Linglong deliberately or unconsciously slowed down her pace, lest Lan Shuyu think that she was a fox pretending to be a tiger and a dog defending her position.

Lan Sou Yu was bedridden. After the news spread, the Empress did not wait for Lan Sou Yu’s approval and permission. She had already taken three to five steps into the inner hall. The curtain was blown by the wind, as if it was a movable signboard with a medicinal smell. There was half a bowl of unfinished brown rice porridge on the table. Linglong unconsciously frowned. This rough food was hard for Lan Sou Yu to swallow.

However, she had no choice but to break her teeth and swallow her blood.

Shaling whispered something in Lan Sou Yu’s ear. Lan Sou Yu jumped up as if she was frightened.

Seeing the Empress’s successive salutes, Linglong felt that Lan Sou Yu was a little pitiful to some extent. However, Linglong was still heartless. She could not pity anyone here.

Lan Sou Yu did not spit out her words. Ji Zhu Hua had already helped Lan Sou Yu up. Lan Sou Yu said angrily, “Thank you so much for coming to see me. I am very happy.”

The Empress was graceful and graceful. She stretched out her slender and plain hand to hold Lan Sou Yu’s slightly pale hand and said, “You and I are harem sisters, so we naturally need to help each other. Furthermore, you are just a concubine, so you naturally can’t take good care of each other.”

Linglong looked at Ji Zhuhua. In her eyes, Ji Zhuhua was always like this. This was the best example of a two-faced man. Linglong went to Lan Shuyu’s bedside and looked at her. She asked, “Sister Zhaoyuan, are you feeling much better now?”

Lan Shuyu hurriedly looked over. Seeing that it was Linglong, her eyes seemed to be calm. “Much better. I’m very happy that you came to see me.”

Linglong looked at Lan Sou Yu again. Lan Sou Yu only felt that she had also learned the trick behind the scenes. The two of them were like ghosts, making people feel that they didn’t know which one was true or which one was fake. Ji Zhuhua’s eyes looked over like the silent waves behind a river and asked, “Brown rice porridge is the best medicinal ingredient. First, it can replenish blood. Second, it can beautify your face. You need to eat more.”

Linglong smiled bitterly in her heart. This was all a messy excuse.

She wanted to laugh, but she still felt that it was inappropriate. She could only slightly bury her head and tilt her eyes at Lan Sou Yu and the Empress. The Empress turned around and looked at Ling Long and said, “Come over and feed Lan Zhaoyuan some brown rice porridge. She is in poor health and has no way to eat.”

Linglong bitterly smiled as she walked to Lan Sou Yu’s bedside. He then picked up the porcelain spoon and said, Lan Sou Yu reluctantly drank two mouthfuls and looked at Ling Long, not to mention how wronged and sad she was. Ling Long knew that she had quickly packed up the bowls and chopsticks. Lan Sou Yu smiled ingeniously, “Since that’s the case, I won’t force the Empress and Bu Jieyu to stay. I really don’t want to accompany the Empress and Concubine Jieyu anymore.”

At this time, Ji Zhuhua revealed his true colors. “If you are in poor health, you should rest properly. Seeing that your body needs to be properly nurtured, don’t run around anymore. Lest the old injuries are not healed, there will be new injuries. In the end, you will understand the old and new injuries.”

Naturally, Linglong could hear what she meant, so she could only smile coldly and nod her head repeatedly.

“Your Highness is right. I know these principles. Thank you, Your Highness.”

Linglong turned around and looked at Lan Sou Yu for the last time. Although Lan Sou Yu was still bedridden, she could tell that Lan Sou Yu probably had her own plans. She did not speak so quickly and instead climbed down the pole and said, “Wherever you go, it’s where you go.”

The fragrant wind blew and Zhu Yulin Lang and the two of them had already walked out of Changle Palace. Linglong asked, “Is Your Highness like this?”

Ji Zhuhua turned around and said coldly, “Isn’t this too cheap, Lan Sou Yu? If she doesn’t move, I naturally won’t move. If she uses that damn crooked brain, I can only be as calm as the wind.” Linglong could tell what the Empress meant. The Empress was currently quietly observing the changes. If Lan Sou Yu did not make a move, the Empress would probably still be lenient.

“Looks like Lan Zhaoyuan is currently under house arrest. Is she really staying at home?” Linglong asked.

“You can see that as well?” Ji Zhuhua looked ahead and said faintly, “This palace naturally has a way to punish this lowly person. This is only the beginning. Everything is just the beginning. As long as Lan Sou Yu doesn’t jump over the wall, the rest is easy to say.”

Linglong was about to say goodbye to the Empress, but before she could leave, Zhu Qing, who was beside the Empress, had already arrived. Zhu Qing looked very anxious, “What’s the matter?”

Linglong also thought of that matter, but she didn’t expect the Empress’s intelligence to be so fast.

Thus, he stood in the wind and waited for information from Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing trembled and finally adjusted his voice. He said, “Eunuch Huang Quan just came over and said that the previous dynasty had already begun impeaching the Empress, and there was also Concubine Jieyu. What should we do now?”

“Where’s Huang Quan?” Ji Zhuhua asked as he walked, Linglong saw that this matter involved her, Naturally, he couldn’t stay out of this, Thus, he followed Ji Zhu Hua in the direction of Kun De Palace. The two walked in flowers and willows. Linglong also listened to Zhu Qing’s words. It turned out that this was the case. It was indeed the memorial memorial that she had suppressed yesterday that worked today. When Linglong thought of the bright yellow memorial memorial that she had cut with silver scissors yesterday, she couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. That kind of fear was something she had never felt before. She didn’t know why she was so confused and involved in such a thing.

Moreover, it was a small pebble at the center of the storm.

“Is Lan Zhenglin impeaching this palace alone, or is Lan Zhenglin representing the others secretly discussing this matter?” Inside Kun De Palace, Ji Zhu Hua saw Huang Quan and asked. Huang Quan could naturally go to the previous dynasty, so he gave a rough idea. Ji Zhu Hua’s eyebrows trembled slightly. This matter was still going on, and Ling Long was even more frightened. She looked at Ji Zhu Hua and said, “What does Your Highness think?”

Ji Zhuhua didn’t know what to say, but he only sighed for a long time. “Don’t be afraid, there’s still this big man around.” Linglong wasn’t afraid that it was fake. This kind of thing could be big or small. If the Empress only said that she was the one who forced herself to come to school for the Emperor’s son when it was necessary, wouldn’t that be the end of the fight?

She didn’t feel that Linglong was already covered in cold sweat. Linglong thought of this festival and knelt down repeatedly. “Your Highness, at least you want to save my life. Right now, your Highness and concubines can’t be said to be soft-spoken. Your Highness …”

“Get up!”

Ji Zhuhua was like a heavenly deity. Her hands were firm like a piece of fine ice-cold jade. Linglong held onto those hands and stood up. She was very good at acting. When the time came, she had to be emotional. She had to be sympathetic. These were compulsory lessons. Linglong could say that she had already forged a few masks.

“Your Highness” Linglong looked panicked and helpless, a little afraid before the heavy rain came.

“Didn’t you hear that Lan Zhenglin’s goal is this palace? You just brought it with you. What are you afraid of? Didn’t Huang Quan go to inquire about it? He is nothing more than a savior.” Ji Zhu Hua said coldly. Linglong’s mind turned lightning fast. This sentence could prove that the Empress was not afraid of this subordinate. All these years, the relationship between the Empress’s family and the Seven Kings Emblem Ye had allowed the Empress to stand in an invincible position. Thinking about this, Linglong felt much more at ease.

On this side, Huang Quan had already rushed to the Divine Advancement Palace. The early dynasties here were filled with invisible nervousness. It was as if a first-rate swordsman was fighting. However, it was invisible. No one knew who was the winner. Of course, no one knew exactly what the opponent’s moves were.

Lan Zhenglin kowtowed heavily on the ground and said firmly, “This lowly official thinks that the harem cannot be in chaos. Your Majesty, think twice.” As he spoke, he handed over a memorial. Hui Qi’s expression was as calm as water. He looked at Lan Zhenglin, who was snatching the ground with his head and said, “I only asked a concubine to serve me in school for the Emperor’s son. I did not ask her to do anything.”

Lan Zhenglin burst into tears, “Your Majesty, for the sake of the country and the country, I can only give you unpleasant advice, Your Majesty! I-”

“Elder, there’s no need to say anything. I know the truth of Young Chicken Chen. Could it be that you still want to help me with the Holy Judgment?” Huiqi’s expression was extremely ugly. At this moment, Lan Zhenglin gave General Huben a look. General Huben walked out and held onto the white jade scepter. “This old minister also agreed. The harem is indeed not allowed to interfere in politics. Think about Da Ji, Xi Shi, the past is all a blood-sparkling dagger, Your Majesty!”

Not long after, there was a large mob behind Lan Zhenglin. Some of them were third-grade officials, and some were fifth-grade and sixth-grade officials. Huiqi’s eyebrows twitched violently. “What is this? Do you all want to help me with the Holy Judge?”

At this point, Huang Quan nervously entered the Kun De Palace and imitated Ji Zhu Hua. Ji Zhu Hua’s cold eyes became even colder when he heard this. They were cold and hard without any warmth at all.

“Empress, this concubine has a way. Do you want to make it or not?” Linglong was in a hurry. Ji Zhuhua was also slightly anxious. A person’s words were meaningless, but if ten people and a hundred people rebelled against him and said that they were messing with politics, it would not be good.

This was what everyone meant by dying without illness.

Ji Zhuhua calmed down and asked, “What can I do?”

Linglong tightly clenched her handkerchief and looked at Ji Zhuhua, “Your Highness, are there two ministers in this dynasty who are both prime ministers?”

“Yes.” Ji Zhuhua also knew what Linglong meant.

Linglong continued, “There is another Wang Ruquan. May I restrain Lan Zaifu?”

Ji Zhuhua hurriedly asked, “Is there a supreme court today?”

Zhu Qing said, “Eunuch Huang said that there is no king.”

Linglong said, “How about letting this concubine go to Prince Zaifu’s mansion to invite Prince Zaifu? Even if we can’t restrain her, it’s still good to stabilize the situation for the time being.”

Ji Zhuhua’s heart slightly calmed down as she said this. Linglong looked at Ji Zhuhua and said, “Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince, will you help us?”

Ji Zhuhua didn’t comment, but he still looked as profound as ever. He said calmly, “He will.”

Only then did Linglong feel relieved and asked, “Your Highness, can I leave the palace for half an hour?”

“Right now, there is no other way. This palace is covering for you. If anyone comes looking for you, hurry up and let Wang Prime Minister go to the previous dynasty.” After Ji Zhuhua finished speaking, he slightly closed his eyes. Linglong followed Zhu Qing and dressed up slightly. She changed into a coarse cloth dress for a girl. The two of them walked out of Zihua City with the Empress’ gold medal.
