The First Empress - Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Return And Resignation
In three days, he was as fast as a bird, and had already reached the end of the day.

Linglong knew that she had to go back, but the matter was still in the middle of investigating and collecting evidence. Qin’er’s injuries were much better.

Afterwards, they prepared to return to the palace.

But on a fine day, there was a faint sound of thunder. This thunder was the last wave of thunder at the end of summer. It rained lightly on the thunder pond outside the willow, and the sound of rain crushing the lotus droplets. Linglong got into the carriage and softly put down the pride curtain.

‘”Let Qin’er come up as well, Qin’er-” Ling Long said to Imperial Guard Long. Qin’er knew that her identity was different, so she naturally didn’t dare to dodge early. Ling Long was unwilling to forgive her. “Look at the muddy outside. Are you weak again? Do you think you can hold on to Zihua Palace like this?” Qin’er could not hold on, so she could only stop pushing and blocking the carriage.

Outside, the wind was warm and the flowers were heavy. It started to rain. Originally, the weather was warm, but there was a slight chill. Linglong Zhiyi was also shaking along with the carriage. Qin’er was also worried when she heard the rain outside. After a long time, Linglong sighed with worry and said with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

Qin’er sighed, “Three days have passed very quickly. However, this servant feels that this matter will not end so quickly.”

‘”Eh–” Linglong pretended to be slightly surprised. “Smart, you’re getting smarter and smarter.”

‘”It’s not that this servant is smart or not, but that this servant always feels that something isn’t done well. There are still some things …” Qin’er pondered bitterly. Because of her injury, her brain was half a beat slower. Linglong bitterly smiled and looked at Qin’er, saying, “Thinking carefully, the distant water can’t quench her thirst, and the victims still haven’t received all the relief.” “In addition, the matter is still covered with clouds and mist, so we still need to investigate it thoroughly.”

Qin’er nodded and asked, “Master, what are you going to do?”

A sincere smile appeared on Linglong’s face as she said, “When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. There are some things that I have yet to see clearly. It will be fine once I see it clearly.”

After another walk, he had already walked from the small path to the pipeline. The smoke in the courtyard was collected, and Yang Wu was trapped. She could only push the golden strands helplessly. Everything looked listless in the autumn rain. Linglong lifted the pride curtain and looked at Mu Qianzhi. She whispered, “Be careful of an ambush here.”

Mu Qianzhi and the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant protected the sedan chair one after the other, and occasionally looked around. They finally managed to cross the most dangerous part of the road before whispering, “It’s finally safe.”

They didn’t expect that no one would hurt them. Linglong was now even more certain that these people weren’t here for her, but to disrupt Huiqi’s plans. Otherwise, they would have definitely killed her by now.

Sunset Grass, Light Smoke Rain.

Their small carriage had already arrived at Xuanwu Sect. Linglong had originally planned to get off the carriage because there was a plaque here that said, “All officials, get off the carriage and get off the horse.”

Mu Qianzhi looked at Linglong and said, “Sit down. After all, we are the heroes.” Linglong didn’t dare to be self-absorbed, but after thinking for a while, she still sat inside. No matter what aspect she looked at, she had returned triumphantly. Only then did she gain confidence. After a while, Vermillion Bird Gate had already opened wide. After passing through this gate, it would be considered completely safe. Linglong couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

“Fortunately, I’ll let the little girl take care of you when we get back. You’ll be better soon.” Linglong said softly to Qin’er, “No, this servant is just a little rough messenger girl, how can she …”

“Don’t worry, this is what I meant. This is the Imperial Palace. What I said is still true.” After saying that, before Qin’er could reply, the carriage had already stopped. It was still raining. Mu Qianzhi went to the inner court to report. After a while, Li Sheng, the Empress and the others had already arrived.

The pavilion was dark and green, and the breeze was thin. Linglong got out of the carriage. Qin’er followed Linglong out of the carriage. The Empress was already here. She looked at Linglong and said impatiently, “It’s good that you’re back. I heard that you were in danger outside. I’m also worried.” Linglong blessed herself on the spot and smiled, “It’s all thanks to Empress Hong Fu. There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s just frightened.” Linglong deliberately avoided the important points and casually chatted.

Ji Zhuhua looked at Linglong with distress and said, “Let’s see if you’re afraid of the cold or not.” As he spoke, he took off his cloak and covered Linglong’s body. Linglong was slightly stunned. This cloak was the Empress’ most complacent dress. There were twelve large and small golden phoenixes on it. Linglong did not dare to wear the Empress’ clothes in such a flagrant manner. She said, “No, Your Highness must not indulge in concubines. Your Highness’ cloak concubines do not dare to wear them.”

Linglong’s half-cage of nephrite-body slowly took off her cloak, but her hands behind her had already steadily draped the cloak over Linglong and said, “A song in front of the bottle. Thousand Insights in the song, it’s good that you’re back.” Eunuch Lu had already poured a glass of wine and sent it over. Huiqi smiled and handed it to Linglong. “No matter what, it’s not enough this time.”

Linglong could only put on her crane clothes and raised the wine glass in Huiqi’s hand. “Then, this concubine would be disrespectful.” After Linglong finished her wine, she looked around. There was no one who looked at her mockingly, only Lan Sou Yu who looked down on her.

Linglong did not mind and said, “I am tired of traveling. If there is nothing else, what does the Emperor think I will go back?”

Frost Heaven Autumn Dawn, Purple Cage Fortress, Yellow Cloud Decay Grass.

After Linglong finished her sentence, Huiqi smiled and said, “Go back. Just let Pei Minghai take a look at it at night. Is it uncomfortable?” As he spoke, he looked at Qin’er who was beside Linglong. “I heard that Qin’er’s protector was injured. This kind of servant is good. Let the Internal Affairs Department reward him.” Qin’er thanked her repeatedly, and Linglong was able to escape.

The two of them finally returned to Yunluan Palace. Linglong was still worried. The outside world was exactly the same as she had imagined. It was still the hiss of a hamster, Bian Hong calling out for the moon, and Iron-clothed Han Zao. However, there was no clue in Zihua Palace. It was still extravagant and wasteful, Cui Ying Liu-Li.

After Li Sheng asked Qin’er about the situation for the past few days, he took her downstairs. After a while, Pei Minghai really came over. Linglong only inferred that she was in good health and asked Pei Minghai to show Qin’er. After giving Qin’er a prescription, she left.

“Right now, it can also be said that the Holy Lord is worried. Wei Huaiyayuan. However, the Empress has almost encountered something in the past few days. This servant is always worried about her.” Qin’er said earnestly. Linglong reached out to hold Qin’er’s hand and said, “Don’t be afraid that someone will harm me. When did someone really plot against me?”

“But it’s different now–” said Li Sheng, telling Qin’er what had happened in the inner court these past few days. Lest Qin’er suddenly get into a mess, Qin’er only smiles when she hears this. “This palace has already guessed that no one is willing to do this difficult thing. After this palace does it, there will naturally be people who are happy and worried. Perhaps there are still some people who are hoping that this palace will never come back.”

As he spoke, Linglong’s expression changed. Li Sheng hurriedly changed the topic and said, “I heard that Lan Zhenglin had some complaints about you in the previous dynasty. Now that you have returned triumphantly, you will naturally cause a sensation. Be careful. The reason why Lan Zhenglin did not come back is probably because you did not come back. Now that you are at the Ice and Fire Dimension, Your Highness should have planned ahead.”

After being reminded by Li Sheng, Linglong nodded and sneered, “This palace has already made plans. Not to mention Lan Zhenglin, even if others come to this palace, they are not afraid.”

As she had just returned to the palace, the weather was cold and rainy. Linglong went to bed early, so many concubines did not come. The next day, the imperial concubines had already arrived in groups of three or five. After a while, an endless stream of imperial concubines surrounded Linglong’s Yunluan Palace. Linglong felt a little sad. Many of these people had never known each other before, and after this incident, there seemed to be no hatred between them.

Chen Chongyi said, “It’s better for you to come back safely than anything else. However, you should also be careful when you come back. The people who shoot cold arrows outside the palace are probably arrogant and domineering in the palace. Sister, you should be careful.”

“It’s fine-” Ning Yanliu smiled and said, “I have knives and spears here. Just give them to Qin’er. Don’t let this servant think that we don’t have any hearts.” Linglong hurriedly caught it. She didn’t expect Ning Yanliu to be trembling now. She probably fell back when she wasn’t around.

Imperial Concubine Shun said earnestly, “This time, it’s no good to be back. It’s just that Lan Sou Yu complains about you every time. You have to be on guard and not let Lan Sou Yu have an opportunity to take advantage of it.”

At this point, Linglong remembered that Lan Sou Yu’s color yesterday was not very good. She asked, “Why does she look unhappy now?” Shun Fei covered her lips and smiled, “Isn’t that so? Copying the Diamond Scripture and the Spirit Soaring Scripture all day is probably unhappy.”

Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly, “Did she offend the Empress?”

Chen Chongyi and Shun Fei said in unison, “No, I have offended you.”

Linglong was even more puzzled. She had only just returned to the palace. Was it because of her that someone had started to imprison her and grounded her feet so quickly? “This is Lan Shuyu’s fault. After all, this palace represents the Dali Dynasty. It’s not good to criticize this palace like this.” Linglong’s expression did not show the slightest sign of being offended, but it was a little unusually calm.

Actually, it wasn’t an exception.

Linglong already knew in her heart that this matter would not end so quickly. According to Lan Zhenglin’s policy, she would definitely find a way to continue impeaching her. A person who even the Empress dared to impeach would naturally not let a concubine like her go. Linglong clenched her fists when she thought of this.

Thunder faintly flashed through the window. Sometimes, a white light flashed, and Linglong’s expression became even more sculptured. At this time, Eunuch Lu came to the Cloud Phoenix Palace and looked at the concubines. Greetings.

“Hello, Lady Lord.”

Then, he went straight to Linglong’s side and said, “The Emperor told the Empress to take care of the Heart Nurturing Hall.”

Linglong quickly tidied up and said goodbye to the sisters. She followed Eunuch Lu to the Heart Nurturing Hall.
