The First Empress - Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Linglong In Distress
Linglong bit her lips. Hugging Qin’er, she slowly retreated, Fortunately, this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Therefore, he was able to take advantage of this opportunity for a while, Although there were many people on the other side, they were all mobs. They were not the opponents of these capable generals. Suddenly, a group of people joined them. Now, they were completely surrounded by Gaixin. Mu Qianzhi approached Linglong and said, “We can go to the inn in one step. I’ll send you in.”

Linglong nodded and said heavily, “Hurry up, I’m afraid Qin’er won’t be able to hold on any longer.” Beads of sweat had already dripped down Qin’er’s forehead. Linglong reached out to help Qin’er wipe the sweat off her forehead. Her mind was a little flustered now. What happened just now had mixed feelings in her heart. These two little girls were doing this for her. One was dead and the other was injured. How could she be virtuous?

Linglong looked around. It was already a mess. Before she could feel sad, she took a step back to the inn.

Unexpectedly, a group of machetemen had already laid in ambush inside the inn. Linglong heard the cold wind behind her head and quickly dodged. Almost the sharp axe had scratched her scalp. Linglong could even feel the cold light of the axe making her scalp tighten slightly.

Mu Qianzhi immediately greeted the enemy. After three or five moves, this person was already at a disadvantage. Who would have thought that another macheteman would chop at him? Because Linglong was hugging Qin’er, it was even more difficult for her to dodge. Mu Qianzhi had helped Linglong escape several times, One of Mu Qian’s men fought against the other, Very quickly, they saw Mu Qianzhi’s flaws. The two of them tried their best to separate Mu Qianzhi from Linglong. Linglong dodged left and right. Every time, she used all her strength. The tables, chairs, and stools in the inn had been cut into pieces by random knives. The ground was a mess. Linglong’s skirt hooked onto the edge of a table. Seeing that the man’s axe had already been cut off from the sky, Linglong closed her eyes slightly.

They were all ghostly dark elves in the palace, However, because the other party was overcrowded, they didn’t dare to look down on the other party’s strength so easily. So, they were almost captured by the other party several times. At this time, it was even more dangerous. Mu Qianzhi stabbed with his sword and jumped over, but it was still too late …

Who knew that at the most critical moment, A purple figure flew over like lightning. Linglong could only feel the slight warmth on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the macheteman’s eyes were filled with disbelief. Her eyes were deathly silent, and the blood on her chest fell like a column of water. Linglong could only feel the hot turbulence at the tip of her nose. Only then did she dodge hurriedly. The tall figure landed on the ground with a “bang”.

Linglong stared. Behind her was Xie Yunxiao. Xie Yunxiao calmly looked at Linglong and Mu Qianzhi. Mu Qianzhi had just finished off the macheteman. Xie Yunxiao just lifted his lips and said, “Your Highness is shocked. I’m too late to save you.”

Linglong seemed to have thought of something. This voice seemed to have been heard in the palace …

Only then did Linglong regain her composure and look at Xie Yunxiao, saying, “Help me send Qin’er to the guest room. Qin’er is about to die.” Mu Qianzhi also walked over, looked at Qin’er and said, “Not bad.”

Xie Yunxiao carried Qin’er into the guest room. With the help of Xie Yunxiao and Mu Qianzhi, Linglong pulled out the arrow from Qin’er’s chest. It was obvious that Qin’er was in such pain that she had lost her head. With a’hum ‘, Xie Yunxiao sprinkled the medicine on Qin’er’s wound.

At this time, Linglong regained her composure and looked at Xie Yunxiao, “Big Brother Yunxiao, why are you here?” Linglong didn’t know why, but she suddenly called out the title at that time. Not only was it him, even Mu Qianzhi, who was beside her, was a little surprised.

Mu Qianzhi asked, “Do you know Xie Yunxiao?”

Linglong regretted calling her Xie Yunxiao so intimately just now. After all, she was the emperor’s concubine now, and there were still some women’s rules and regulations to abide by. She said embarrassedly, “I only met you when I was young. I haven’t seen you for a long time. Are you still in Seventh Prince’s mansion?”

Xie Yunxiao glanced at Mu Qianzhi beside him and said, “This lowly official has known Your Highness for a lot longer than this lowly official has known Your Highness. Therefore, this lowly official wants to talk to Your Highness for a while. Is it convenient for you to avoid this?”

Mu Qianzhi’s expression was very ugly. He had never bowed in front of anyone like this before. Even in the palace, Hui Qi was courteous to him. First, he was Hui Qi’s murderer. Second, he was De Fei’s brother. Naturally, he was superior to others. At this time, he patted his forehead and said, “This lowly official would like to hear what you want to say.”

Linglong looked at Mu Qianzhi and said, “You know that although he is from Seventh Prince, he won’t hurt me. You go out first.”

“But Your Highness-” Mu Qian’s heart was filled with jealousy. He didn’t know what to say and waited anxiously for Linglong to stay. However, Linglong didn’t go along with the flow and continued to speak in an accentuated tone, “You go out, there’s no buts.”

Mu Qianzhi stared at Xie Yunxiao with eyes as red as a rabbit’s. He walked out reluctantly and closed the door.

Because Linglong was already a Heavenly Clan woman, she had been greatly respected by the Empress, Concubine De, and the others. Naturally, she had a different kind of dignity. She was not as young as before. Seeing that Mu Qianzhi had already left, Xie Yunxiao looked at Linglong and said, “Sister Bu, are you alright now?”

Hearing an old friend’s question, Linglong couldn’t help but feel sad. Neither good nor bad, It was nothing more than embroidered clothes. If it wasn’t good enough, it was simply impossible to say anything. The current Mo Shang youth was still romantic. Unfortunately, it was different from the past. Linglong didn’t want to expose her current living conditions. She just nodded and quickly brought the topic from her parents to reality.

“Tell me, do you really have something to tell me?” Linglong looked at him doubtfully. Xie Yunxiao knew that Linglong did not want to talk nonsense with him. After all, the two of them had a huge disparity in status. They were completely different opposites. Of course, there were some things that could not be said and some things that could not be expressed.

Xie Yunxiao sighed slightly and looked at Linglong, trying his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart. “This subject is not sent by the Seven Kings. The Seven Kings are not prepared to harm you at this time.”

Linglong looked at Xie Yunxiao. It seemed that Xie Yunxiao’s expression was serious. She was not joking, so she nodded and asked, “So, today’s person was sent by Lan Zaifu?”

He did not comment, because he did not know whether it was Prime Minister Lan or someone else. He just nodded and said, “Your Highness, if Seventh Prince really hurt Your Highness, would anyone think that Seventh Prince was a good prince after the incident?” Linglong nodded. He continued, “Today’s matter is not over. I will continue to investigate. Don’t worry, the matter will come to light very soon.”

“I hope so.” Linglong did not hold any hope, but the mess was getting harder and harder to clean up. She was in a dilemma now.

Xie Yunxiao looked at Qin’er and placed a small porcelain bottle in his arms on the table. “White inner garment, yellow outer garment. It’ll be fine in three to five days.” After saying that, Longevity Jade stood up and cupped her hands, saying, “I’m going to take my leave.”

He needed to avoid suspicion now, so he left immediately after he finished speaking.

After a while, Mu Qianzhi knocked on the door and walked in. Her face was as usual. Mu Qianzhi smiled bitterly, “Although I don’t know what he said to Your Highness, I feel that Your Highness has already believed her. I have no other intentions. I just want to remind Your Highness not to listen to one-sided words.”

Suddenly, Linglong thought of something. She completely ignored Mu Qianzhi, who was standing in front of her. Instead, she stood up and ran downstairs three steps at the same time. Seeing that Xie Yunxiao hadn’t left yet, Linglong adjusted her breathing and stood beside Xie Yunxiao.

“Is there anything else, Your Highness?” Xie Yunxiao stared at Linglong.

She had been in the palace for a long time, so long that she could only recall that the royal painting house flew towards the sky, as well as the royal pearl curtain twilight scroll. The past that was like the shadows of the idle cloud lake had changed, and it had already been several autumns since the change of stars. However, one day, her memories still lingered in her mind. If she remembered correctly at that time, she had clearly heard such a voice outside the Emperor’s Kunde Palace.

“In Cao Ying’s heart, are you doing things for His Majesty?” After all, Linglong still asked. Xie Yunxiao smiled faintly. There was no trace of sorrow or joy at the corner of his mouth. He pondered for a long time and said, “Your Highness, don’t think nonsense. Please go back.”

Linglong stared at Xie Yunxiao in front of her unyielding eyes and continued to repeat those words. Xie Yunxiao smiled and looked at the stairs behind him, saying, “Someone is waiting for Your Highness. Your Highness, please go ahead.”

Linglong hurriedly turned her head, wanting to see if it was Mu Qianzhi behind her. However, the stairs behind her were empty. Linglong looked back and found that her tall and handsome body had disappeared at the end of her gaze.

She could only smile bitterly as she went upstairs.

Now she didn’t know, Who is the mastermind behind this matter, Xie Yunxiao confidently told himself that he was not the Seven Kings, which meant that the Seven Kings were definitely excluded. It was not an easy task to summon so many loose soldiers to wander around. Moreover, they seemed to know their own itinerary like the back of their fingers, so there was only one person left-Lan Zhenglin?

Linglong clenched her fists and went up to the second floor.
