The First Empress - Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Meet an Old Friend on a Moonlit Night
Lan Shuyu retreated, “Sister knows. This favor is considered to be owed to you by Sister. Don’t worry, I will give it back to you.” Linglong smiled faintly and waved her hand, “It’s just a simple matter of raising her hand. What’s the point?”

“It’s easy for you, sister, but it’s no different from the quan yin decree for me. I’ll go back first. I’ll ask Shaling to send you a gift later. You must accept it with a smile.” Lan Sou Yu’s heart was filled with anxiety. Now, she was truly restless. Linglong’s goal was to make Lan Zhenglin’s people mess up. She didn’t have any other intentions and nodded in satisfaction when she saw this.

“There’s no need for a gift. If you really want to thank me, why don’t you have the Prime Minister’s Mansion make a mouthful of porridge for the victims as well?” Linglong didn’t dare to take the gold, silver, jewelry and jewelry from Changle Palace. Although Linglong was a wealthy passerby, there was still resistance in Linglong’s heart. Last time, Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan had already told Linglong that there was something wrong with everything in Changle Palace.

Lan Shuyu nodded and said, “I know what to do. Thank you for your kind words.”

“It’s just a casual remark. If sister feels that it’s not feasible, don’t act rashly. Little sister is talented and shallow. These are just her insights.” Linglong Ke Qian looked at Lan Sou Yu with her precious eyes. Lan Sou Yu suddenly stopped and said, “Sister’s golden and jade advice will definitely be followed. Don’t worry.”

What else could Linglong say, she could only nod slightly.

Seeing that Lan Sou Yu’s figure was gradually moving away, the concubines ridiculed, “She will do as she pleases. I’m afraid Concubine Jieyu doesn’t know who Lan Zhaoyuan is. It’s clearly a basin of fire and a knife. Please be careful of this woman. She is a snake and scorpion woman.”

Linglong smiled and said, “This time, she has to do it.”

The imperial concubines were surprised. Shun Fei asked, “What did the Empress order? Look at her smiling face.”

Linglong clenched her fists and opened them. “I just told her to tell Elder Lan Zhenglin not to clench her hands too tightly. Some things are like sand. The tighter she clenches, the easier it will be to lose them. In the end, there won’t be a single drop left, will there?”

“Could it be that you asked her to tell her father to open his warehouse to relieve the disaster? Isn’t this the first time in thousands of years?” Chen Chongyi asked. Linglong smiled and nodded, “Big sister is a smart person. I can tell with a glance.”

Chen Chongyi simply did not have any adjectives for Lan Sou Yu. There was one thing about Lan Sou Yu’s ruthlessness. There was no doubt that Lan Zhao Yuan would do as she pleaded. She also pointed out that the rest of her words needed to be considered slowly by Ling Long.

Linglong just waved her hand and said, “Sometimes rabbits are scared when they don’t have any grass around them, aren’t they?”

“So you ate her shit?” Chen Chongyi blinked her beautiful eyes.

Linglong continued, “It’s not me. I don’t have that much ability. When it comes to harboring grasses, only the Prime Minister himself can eat his own harboring grasses. It’s just delicious and difficult to digest.” Everyone else knew the meaning behind this sentence, and the smile dissipated.

Because Linglong drank a little wine, she was a little tired of it. Her head was also dizzy. Seeing that Chen Chongyi had something to say, Linglong hurriedly stood up and said, “I’ll send you off.”

“Little sister, stay–” Shun Fei said, stopping her footsteps. “Little sister is tired of traveling, and she has to deal with the victims and us. That’s impossible. Stay.” Linglong could only stop there. The concubines walked out of Yunluan Palace one by one. Linglong looked at Chen Chongyi and said, “Sister, I’ll send you to your side.”

Chen Chongyi knew that Linglong had something to say, so she nodded slightly and said, “Let’s go outside.”

Linglong first asked about the situation of Lan Sou Yu and De Fei while she was away, After that, Chen Chongyi was still a little puzzled when she said, “Looking at how confident you are, you’ve probably already caught Elder Lan’s hand. It’s just that it’s better to not do anything with the skin of a tiger. After all, we’re women, not men. Do you understand?” Chen Chongyi said earnestly and reached out to scratch Linglong’s nose.

With a slight movement of her nose and wings, Linglong reached out to hold Chen Chongyi’s hand and said, “Sister, do you think she will do as I say?”

“Definitely. Do you still need to say that?” Chen Chongyi said and asked, “Concubine De has already thrown out an olive branch for you. I wonder what you think. Could it be that you always refuse? Don’t look at Concubine De as if she doesn’t have any influence. In fact, dogs that can bite people usually don’t have teeth. Do you understand the power and the key?”

Linglong nodded. “Naturally, I understand. Imperial Concubine De’s actions are completely different from ordinary people’s. Sister can’t refuse now, but she can’t agree either. Since she has already worked with the Empress, how can she have the reason to be in Cao Ying’s heart?”

Chen Chongyi smiled and said, “That’s true. It’s just that it’s easy to know and difficult to do. Don’t make your own decisions in the future. Talk to me more. Elder sister’s opinion is actually very pertinent. Do you understand?”

“Thank you.”

Linglong bowed slightly.

Chen Chongyi only smiled and looked at Linglong dotingly, “If only Baoluo was half as smart as you.” Linglong grabbed Chen Chongyi’s hand and said, “Sister, what do you want to do? The boat will naturally reach the bridge, won’t it?” Chen Chongyi nodded and said, “Big sister has left. You will also go, right? Let’s take a look and see if the world has fallen into frost.”

Linglong watched as Chen Chongyi walked further and further away. Then, she reached out to stroke her cheek. The flush on her cheek had already been dispersed by the cold wind, and the wine was more than half awake.

Suddenly, she heard someone playing the leaves not far away. When she was young, she often thanked Yunxiao for playing the leaves. Linglong was naturally blessed, and she felt intimate when she heard this. However, there was no one in the palace who dared to play blatantly. Thus, she paused slightly.

She followed the voice and walked to the front. It was the voice coming from the other side of the Spring Wave Bridge. Linglong frowned and looked at the opposite side.

The person on the other side seemed to be waiting for him, and he didn’t seem to have any thoughts or distractions at all. He was just playing with the leaves. Linglong reached out and picked one of the leaves and slowly placed it on her cherry lips. Very quickly, there was a clear and sharp sound coming from the interaction between her lips and teeth.

That person seemed to have noticed Linglong. He turned around and smiled faintly. Then, the three of them had already landed on the Spring Wave Bridge. Just as Linglong’s eyes saw three faint ripples spreading out on the water surface, that person had already turned around.

Idle clouds, wild cranes, anger more than the Xiaohan.

As expected, it was Xie Yunxiao.

His eyebrows parted horizontally, and his green temples were densely dyed with spring smoke. This person had a Spiritual Qi that was like the clouds of a Magical Mountain. Linglong walked over and whispered, “Go inside Yunluan Palace. It’s not good for you to be seen here.”

“Is it bad for you, Your Highness, or for this lowly official?” The first thing he said was to ask back. Linglong threw the leaf in her hand into the lake and said, “It’s not good for both of us. You are from the Seven Kings, so there is naturally a reason for you to come here. If the Emperor sees me chatting with another man, wouldn’t it be messing with the harem’s system? So we are both bad, aren’t we?”

Linglong felt a slight pain in her heart. She originally thought that she could speak so carelessly. When she saw her, Linglong felt as if she had a spiritual pillar. For a long time, she really wanted Xie Yunxiao to come over and see her. She still remembered what happened when she was six years old. However, times had changed. The two of them were becoming more and more estranged and unable to get close. This feeling made Linglong feel a little too embarrassed and heartless all of a sudden.

Is it a fallen life I love? It’s the mistake of Fate above.

Xie Yunxiao also looked back at Linglong. The young girl in her memories was now a generous woman. Her delicate and delicate face was glowing with a beautiful light under the moonlight. Her face was more alluring than Hua Jiao’s. However, it was impossible for the two of them to be together without caring about chatting for a long time.

However, Linglong’s smile was still moving.

“Then we’ll go to Yunluan Palace.” As he spoke, he pulled back his steps. Linglong followed Xie Yunxiao to Yunluan Palace. Because Sheng and Qin’er had seen Xie Yunxiao before, they naturally extended their invitation to the inner hall. Sheng waited on the side. Qin’er went outside to guard the wind, so that no one would be able to explain it clearly.

Xie Yunxiao said, “The matter is still under investigation, but I can tell you for sure for the last time that it has nothing to do with the Seven Kings.”

Linglong had already guessed this. She nodded and said, “According to the Emperor’s wishes, there will probably be another time when I leave the palace. At that time, I still want to …”

“You want more?” Xie Yunxiao frowned, his eyebrows furrowed. He looked extremely scared. Linglong deliberately ignored Xie Yunxiao’s sinister appearance and the look on her face that she was about to kill angrily. Instead, she said indifferently, “The emperor’s fate cannot be violated. When the time comes, can we set up a plan to prepare for a rainy day?”

“That’s fine,” Xie Yunxiao smiled and said, “What do you think of the arrangement?”

Linglong placed the chess pieces beside her on the chessboard. She stretched out her white jade-like fingers and waved them in the air. Then, she placed all the white pieces and black pieces on the chessboard. “This is the Prime Minister’s Mansion. This is the place for disaster relief in Dongcheng. Although it’s not far away, it can still come over in a while. We can do this …”

Linglong’s hand slowly put away the white piece. Then, he slowly gathered to the disaster relief area in Dongcheng and said, “Surround them, and then continue to arrange people behind them” His fingers moved slightly, and another white mass swarmed over. Seeing this, Xie Yunxiao was also frightened. Although it was just a piece of paper, there was still an inexplicable killing intent in it.

Linglong stopped and said, “Have you found any clues now?”

Xie Yunxiao looked at the black spots that had been completely wrapped around Gaixin and said, “I’m afraid that when the time comes, the victims will have some strange movements. Isn’t it a reverse type of dog to draw tigers?”

Linglong smiled gently and lightly tapped the white piece on the chessboard below. “Do you really think I would use Yu Lin Lang?” She said. “I will tell the emperor that all the victims will be our people by that day. These people are mixed, but they must be fully armed. These people seem to be on the verge of death, but they can still deal a fatal blow to the enemy.”

“Are you saying that we will be the ones to arrange for the victims?” Xie Yunxiao secretly admired Linglong’s boldness. Linglong only smiled slightly and said, “Actually, I’ve arranged it like this since last time. It’s just that I didn’t implement it.”

Xie Yunxiao was secretly shocked and said, “Although this arrangement is unexpected and unfavorable, you will be in danger. Have you ever thought about it?” The care and worry in her eyes were almost spoilt. Linglong felt slightly unnatural and said, “I naturally know, so I still need you and Imperial Guard Long to protect me at that time. But the most important thing is to take people. We can’t let the previous incident repeat itself. We can’t afford to lose.”

Linglong said calmly and looked at Xie Yunxiao.
