The First Empress - Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Seize the Opportunity to Cause Trouble
Ji Zhu Hua slightly shook Ya Qing’s eyelids and said, “This concubine does not dare to say that the Emperor can let the Shadow Guards investigate slowly. There is no need to worry that they will not be able to find out.” Hearing this, Huiqi glanced at the misty green smoke in front of him and said, “If you leave first, I naturally have a way. Forgive me.”

Only then did Ji Zhuhua retreat.

Just as he left, Eunuch Lu walked in with Fuchen. “Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lan wishes to see you.”

Hui Qi’s face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were like a cold spring. “What is he doing here? He has already left the court long ago. Is there anything that a servant doesn’t know when he leaves work early? Go back and say that I am busy reviewing the memorials, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Eunuch Lu went. Huiqi closed his eyes and sat in the bright sunshine. He felt a huge conspiracy coming. Huiqi’s mind was spinning like a rolling wheel. It didn’t stop for a moment. After a while, he seemed to understand. He opened his big eyes and said, “Eunuch Lu, where are you?”

Eunuch Lu hurriedly entered, “What orders does the Emperor have?”

“Has Elder Ge left yet?”

“Lan Zaifu said that if the Emperor did not summon him, he would not be able to kneel up for a long time. Now, he is kneeling outside the study room.” The curve at the corner of Hui Qi’s mouth gradually deepened. He waved his hand and said, “Let Zaifu come in and reply. Don’t kneel. The cold outside is heavy.” After a while, Lan Zhenglin had already arrived in the inner hall. Qiu Yang shone a bright beam of light on Hui Qi’s brocade dragon robe. Hui Qi opened his cold eyes slightly.

Lan Zhenglin hurriedly knelt down and said, “I kowtow to the Emperor.”

“Pavilion Elder, flatten yourself.” Hui Qi smiled faintly. Lan Zhenglin stood up calmly. Hui Qi smiled strangely and strangely. Lan Zhenglin couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of fear and helplessness in his heart. Hui Qi sat in the bright light and dusted off his clothes with his hands. He said, “What’s the matter with Elder Ge?”

Lan Zhenglin bowed slightly and sank into the darkness. His entire body was enveloped in darkness.

‘”Of course I have something to do. The Emperor must have heard about the violence outside the palace. I think it’s better not to let Empress Jie Yu stay outside. After all, there are many dangers outside. Besides, it’s really a bit bad for the harem concubine to go outside to relieve the disaster. This is something that the ancestral system does not have.” Saying this, he secretly observed Huiqi’s expression. Huiqi couldn’t see any emotional fluctuations, so much so that Lan Zhenglin wasn’t sure if he should spit it out quickly or not.

Hui Qi finally had a smile on his face. He said, “I will spare no effort in investigating the violence. Don’t think too much about the matter of the harem concubine. The so-called’will be outside and the military order will not be accepted ‘is Bu Jieyu’s own business. She will naturally come back in three days. Besides, Bu Jieyu represents the face of this dynasty, how can she avoid it?”

At this point, Lan Zhenglin’s old face slightly changed color and he kowtowed to the ground. “Your Majesty, this matter started because of the Empress. As long as this old official gives the Emperor a head-on reprimand, the Empress will not be able to hold back her evil intentions now.”

“Impudent, are you the one who discussed the Empress?”

Huiqi’s expression changed drastically. He stepped into the darkness from the bright light. His voice was ethereal like a ghost. “Besides, the Empress did not make any mistakes. It’s a bit too much to say after being crippled. I will spare you for the time being because you are an elder of the Three Dynasties and entered the seclusion with a dragon. Don’t forget to say it next time!” Huiqi’s expression was as cold as ice. Lan Zhenglin knelt on the ground, his sleeves slowly trembling. Huiqi could see the hesitation in Lan Zhenglin’s heart and said, “Go down. There are some things you don’t want to say.”

As a result, Huiqi kept kowtowing on the ground and coldly looked at Lan Zhenglin. “This old minister thinks that the Emperor must be crippled”. “Could it be that Prime minister, as the prime minister of this country, does not know the system of this dynasty?” “If you want to cripple the Empress, you must be at fault. Right now, the Empress’ fault is to let her concubine help the victims outside. Is this a blessing or a calamity for the Dali Dynasty? Could it be that the Prime Minister is still unclear?”

“This old official only feels that this is suspicious of Young Chicken. The Emperor must not be deceived by beauty, let alone listen to the woman’s words. Otherwise, the Dali Dynasty will be in danger, the country will be in danger, and even the Emperor and this old official will be in danger!” After he finished speaking, he showed an even more resolute attitude. It seemed that it was impossible for him not to investigate the Empress today.

Huiqi smiled proudly and said, “Elder is not a remonstrant. Let’s go down now. I forgive your innocence. After all, Elder is very old and virtuous. It’s good that you don’t do anything out of line.” Lan Zhenglin wanted to say something and looked at Huiqi. However, Huiqi didn’t want to listen to Lan Zhenglin at all. He waved his hand and said, “Eunuch Lu, Elder is tired. Help him down.”

‘”I–” Lan Zaifu made one last effort, but today’s goal had not reached half of it, so he could not go back like this. Otherwise, it would be bad for Ji Zhuhua to hear about these things, “Your Majesty …”

“Down!”

Huiqi’s voice became colder and colder. Lan Zhenglin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at Huiqi reluctantly and said, “I’m leaving.”

Hui Qi watched as Lan Zhenglin left before extending his hand. The Dragon Taboo Commandant behind him had already walked out and asked, “Your Majesty means …”

Huiqi nodded coldly and said, “Take a group of people outside to follow Lan Zhenglin. About eighty to ninth of the victims were involved in the disturbance last time. Do you understand what you’re doing?”

“I understand.”

“Let’s go down.” After Hui Qi finished speaking, he sat on the cloud couch again. He was like a clay sculpture, expressionless.

On the other side, they nervously and busily began to spread the silver taels and thin porridge. The few of them were so tired that their avatars were powerless. At this time, Linglong suddenly saw Xie Yunxiao. Xie Yunxiao’s words last night were still in her ears. She should be here to secretly protect herself today. Linglong had a soldier come over to spread the silver taels and waved Xie Yunxiao over.

He walked steadily and nimbly. After a while, he arrived beside Linglong. Linglong said, “Here you are. Help me analyze the situation. Your opinion yesterday was correct. Those people are not from the Seven Kings.”

Xie Yunxiao said, “This is not the place to talk. Can you take a step to talk?”

Linglong followed Xie Yunxiao to the second floor of the inn and sat down in a secluded place. Xie Yunxiao did not answer this question. Instead, he turned his starry eyes and looked at Linglong and asked, “You’ve already asked Lord Mu to start investigating, haven’t you?”

“You met?” Linglong smiled. If the two swords merged together, it would naturally be very good. Unfortunately, the two of them had a bit of a tit-for-tat intention. If the two of them didn’t cooperate tacitly, it would be useless. She could only laugh bitterly.

But unexpectedly, Xie Yunxiao said, “The bandit leader who gathered the crowd to cause trouble has already been brought to justice by this official and Lord Mu. He will be brought here shortly, and then the Empress can ask him anything she wants.”

Thinking of Qin’er who was still on the verge of death, Linglong was angry and rushed out, “What did you say and ask?” This palace only wants to kill this person. Not only did he kill that little girl, but Qin’er was also injured. If Qin’er hadn’t protected her, this palace would have been the undead under the arrow by now. What kind of excuse did you say? This palace doesn’t have such good bearing. ”

As Linglong spoke, her eyes lit up. Xie Yunxiao only smiled faintly. Not long after, Mu Qianzhi’s voice came from outside. When Mu Qianzhi saw that Xie Yunxiao had arrived, he explained the cause and effect of the matter.

The two of them had already investigated this person’s background, After following Lan Zhenglin, he was indeed Lan Zhenglin’s man. Now that his hair was disheveled, Linglong was furious. Xie Yunxiao softly nodded. She did not know what was going on with him, but she immediately knelt on the ground. Linglong widened her eyes and adjusted her voice as much as possible. “This palace asks you, who exactly ordered you to harm this palace?”

The man laughed loudly and said, “The moment a man dies, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if he dies, I will not tell you.” But Xie Yunxiao only smiled and said, “Your surname is Lan, isn’t it Lan Minghai? Housekeeper Hai?”

When Lan Minghai heard that he had revealed his identity, he was a little surprised and said, “Indeed, they are the people beside the Emperor. All of them are very powerful.”

Linglong was not angry. The person who was least afraid of death was her. She smiled and said, “Since ancient times, it has been difficult for her to die. Do you know how this palace will deal with you?”

“I don’t want to know. Do whatever you want.”

“Have you ever heard of a human zhan? Slowly chop a person’s arms, limbs, and limbs into pieces, then put them in a wine tank and slowly soak them in it. With the addition of caustic soda and salt water, I will definitely not let you die too quickly at that time,” he said with a sidelong gaze. He wanted to see some clues from this person’s body. “There are even more criminal laws that you would not expect. If you enter the palace, I’m afraid you’ll have to leave horizontally as well. Why don’t you cooperate with this palace a little to avoid the pain of your skin and flesh?”

“Are men afraid of the pain of skin and flesh?” Lan Minghai’s mouth was very stiff. Linglong didn’t mind, “You should have heard of it before. The executioners in the palace always do what the emperor wants. They feed you the thousand-year-old ginseng while cutting your body slowly with a knife. They say it’s five thousand knives. It definitely won’t be four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. You won’t have such a hard tooth when the time comes. Think carefully.”

This person’s face was pale from fear. He had naturally heard of the death penalty in the Great House. It was simply an art. Killing could produce an art, he believed.

Linglong asked, “You don’t want to answer? Then this palace asks you, as long as it is, you nod. No, you shake your head. Perhaps this palace will let you live. This palace’s enemy is not a cat or dog like you, do you know?” Having said that, Xie Yunxiao glanced at the person kneeling on the ground and walked to his side on guard, lest the person should hurt him violently.

His face was deathly gray, and he knew that the situation was over. Now, he could only nod or shake his head.

Linglong asked, “You were sent by Lan Zhenglin?”

The answer was a nod.
