The First Empress - Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Prestige Of Unperturbed
“Is this acceptable, Zhaoyuan?”

Ji Zhuhua squinted his eyes slightly, staring coldly at Lan Zhaoyuan, who was still on the couch. He pointed at the Bogu shelf in front of him and said, “Which antique on this shelf isn’t around 10,000 taels, yet it doesn’t pull out a single hair like this?”

Lan Sou Yu waved her hand repeatedly, “Your Highness, this item was rewarded by the Emperor, gifted by my elder brother, and brought over from the southern border by my father. I really can’t do without these items.”

Ji Zhuhua sneered. The curves of his lips were always tense, and he could see that the slightly raised eyebrows had the curves of a ghost hanging on them.

“However, which of the women in the palace did not receive a gift from everyone? Everyone, let’s exchange it with each other.” Ji Zhu Hua looked at the Bogu shelf arrogantly. Suddenly, he reached out and took down the jade wall and handed it to Ling Long. “Let Royal servant in. It’s useless for Blue Zhaoyuan to keep these things. Let’s count them all.” Linglong smiled bitterly, but she was only a runner, so she just watched coldly. She could not interfere, but Lan Sou Yu was beaten to seven inches.

‘”It’s you, isn’t it? It’s you. It must be you. You …” Xie Mei smiled sinisterly and looked at Linglong.

Before Linglong could understand what was going on, the Empress had already turned around and prepared to leave. “I’ll go to Concubine De’s palace for a while. I’ll leave this place to you.”

Linglong’s heart skipped a beat. As expected, she sat on the wax. Even if Lan Sou Yu didn’t donate these things, it was impossible. After the Empress left, Lan Sou Yu finally jumped up and approached Linglong. She stared at Linglong with her sinister and ruthless eyes. “Bu Ling Long, is it you who made the Empress fight me?”

Linglong and Mei smiled. She deliberately kept a little distance from Lan Sou Yu. ‘”Don’t say these words. It’s not a day or two since you offended the Empress. You are in the limelight, and I can only tell you that the Empress will not let go of what she wants to do if she fails to achieve her goal. If these rare antiques are not delivered to the Inner Palace, you will know the result.” Lan Souyu nodded slightly.

“Don’t bring out the Empress to suppress me!” Lan Sou Yu hurriedly used her thin back to protect the huge ancient shelf behind her. It seemed a little funny. Ling Long smiled at Lan Sou Yu and said, “Actually, everyone knows that you are more terrifying than the Empress. You are much more powerful than the Empress!” No one else can see it, no one else can guess. This palace already knows what a queen is. She’s just an old woman. Only you … ”

Linglong looked around and smiled, “Is that so? Do you really think so?”

‘”Of course, this palace understands that the most difficult person to deal with in the palace is not the Empress. This palace wants to tell the concubines that you are the one who harbors evil intentions and that you are the one who has two sides.” Lan Shuyu said as she clung to the Bo Guarding Rack behind her, “Of course, this palace understands that the most difficult person in the palace is not the Empress.”

Linglong felt bitter layer after layer in her heart freeze up like ice. Her fingers were also chilly, as if they had just been taken out of the water of the cold winter and the twelfth month of the twelfth month of the twelfth month of the twelfth month of the twelfth month of the twelfth month.

“You’re wrong. I just want to protect myself. I just want to shine. I just want to live in my own place.” Her eyes were also strange and ferocious. She had only seen such an expression on Lan Sou Yu’s face before, but she never expected her expression to be so rich and ferocious for a moment.

“But you forced me to do everything. I don’t want to be enemies, you know, Lan Sou Yu.” Linglong’s tone was very bad. Lan Sou Yu did not laugh angrily instead, “So, you want to be the first to take down this palace, so you want to step on this palace’s corpse and ascend to a high position. Don’t think, this palace tells you, you can’t imagine that this palace is now in an invincible position, this palace will not be defeated by anyone!” “This palace’s father is the supreme Elder, and this palace is also someone in the emperor’s heart.”

The more Lan Sou Yu said, the more excited she became. Ling Long did not know where Lan Sou Yu’s confidence came from, but she looked at Lan Sou Yu coldly. Lan Sou Yu coughed slightly, “The Emperor loves this palace. The Emperor needs this palace, this palace …”

Linglong grabbed onto Lan Sou Yu’s wrist and said, “Lan Sou Yu, wake up! Look at this world where the weak eat the strong. Do you really think the Emperor loves you? Let me tell you, the Emperor has always been a lucky man of the Tian Clan. Do it yourself!” With a slight force, Lan Sou Yu was pushed back by Ling Long. Lan Sou Yu struggled to stand beside the shelf in front of her.

However, his feet were still as soft as mud, and he was exhausted.

A silk flower also fell from his head. Lan Shuyu reached out and held the flower with a disappointed smile. “You will be lonely too. You are all heartless. I advise you not to dream anymore. You said that I am not sober, but I feel that you are also in a five-mile fog. I, Concubine Jieyu and 50-step Smile Hundred Steps. It would be better for the two of you to defend against the enemy together as an alliance. What do you think?”

Lan Sou Yu began to discuss this matter again. Ling Long wasn’t completely unmoved. She even felt that she had been bewitched into Lan Sou Yu’s encirclement. Gradually, her feet sank deep into the mud. It was as if she had stepped into a mire. Slowly …

“No!” Linglong remembered He Shufei’s disheveled hair in the dungeon and suddenly smiled sinisterly, “This palace will not believe you. You can dream of being your own Qin Qiu. Come, take all the gold, silver and jewelry away from this palace. Don’t miss any of them.” Linglong gritted her teeth and looked at Lan Sou Yu, only to see clear tears flowing out of her watery eyes.

Tears washed away the thick powder on Lan Sou Yu’s face. Lan Sou Yu randomly wiped her face twice. The powder was also unknowingly wiped off a lot. The original beauty and grace no longer existed. Now, Lan Sou Yu had some more sunshine and childishness. This face was Lan Sou Yu’s real face.

Just like Linglong, a person only had one face, but every day he had to play a different role and wear a different mask.

Unknowingly, Linglong also realized that her eyes had turned blurry. Was she going to shed tears? Linglong couldn’t figure out why she was shedding tears. Was the rabbit dead and the fox sad? Still feeling a little sympathetic for Lan Sou Yu’s situation, it seemed that none of them were true. Ling Long left behind a sentence, “Take an inventory. This palace is waiting outside.” He moved away.

When she turned around, she still saw Lan Sou Yu sitting on the ground. Lan Shuyu’s cries were endless and noisy. Linglong raised her head to look at the sky. Above the azure dome was a silk-white cloud. Linglong could not go out yet. She had to suppress the throbbing and disappointment in her chest. She had to wait until the count was complete before she could go back.

But at this moment, it was as if a year had passed. Linglong felt that she was about to take root on the ground. Only then did she hear Huang Quan’s hoarse voice, “Your Highness, there’s a total of 50,000 taels.”

Linglong stared at the piles of gold and silver jade on the ground, avoiding Lan Sou Yu and coldly said, “Since the inventory is complete, put it away.”

It was as if everything had been looted. Lan Sou Yu was like a woman who had suddenly returned home from the army. She was still holding the broken silk flower in her hand. Ling Long walked to Lan Sou Yu’s side and broke into a smile. “This jade wall was given to you by your brother. I won’t take it. You can rest assured.”

Lan Sou Yu held the jade wall in her hand and slowly placed it on her chest. Ling Long couldn’t bear to see Lan Sou Yu’s soul loss. She quickly restrained her compassion and turned around. “Let’s go, go to the palace in front of her.”

Linglong reminded herself that she shouldn’t be a little timid and hesitant in front of Lan Sou Yu. She shouldn’t let herself become helpless and panicked. She shouldn’t … She shouldn’t be able to show all of them. In the eyes of others, no matter what, Linglong had to be like this.

Not far away, the jade wall had already rolled over at her feet. Linglong smiled bitterly, “Could it be that sometimes you really have to kill them all so that no one would have a chance to catch their breath for a moment?”

“Huang Quan, put away the jade wall.” Linglong instructed, Huang Quan waved his horseshoe sleeve and put away the jade wall on the ground. The group of people arrived in front of them. The Empress had just walked out of Kunde Palace. She thought that Linglong would fail, but she didn’t expect that Linglong would return with her full load. She couldn’t help but laugh and say, “This palace likes you more and more. No wonder the Emperor has been talking about you like this all day. You are very good.”

Linglong Lianren said, “This concubine is just being cautious and obedient. Your Highness is overpraising me.”

Ji Zhuhua pointed at the palace in front of him and said, “Let’s go ahead.”

The group of people walked into the palace in front of them like a well-organized army. For a moment, the harem was already in turmoil. Most of them dared to be angry and not speak. Only after the Empress and Linglong left did they bitterly say a few sarcastic words.

In one day’s time, she had already gathered six to seven million taels of official private equity. Linglong naturally smiled. The Empress also felt that she had done an unprecedented restorative event. She could not help but laugh and say, “Tell the Emperor tomorrow, the Emperor might be very happy.” Linglong nodded her head repeatedly, not disobeying the Empress’ intentions.

She didn’t care about the abuse and provocation of the concubines. As long as she could protect herself, she didn’t care about anything.

At night, Linglong was already exhausted. The full moon of the Heavenly Heart illuminated a palace lamp in the Cloud Phoenix Palace. It was ethereal and warm. After Linglong finished washing up, she slept on the cloud couch and prayed silently in her heart for the smooth sailing of tomorrow
