The First Empress - Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Huiqi’s Flames Of Rage

It was already the Little Yang Spring, and the Lunar New Year was already the beginning of February. It was already the season when a hundred flowers bloomed. However, Linglong’s heart was withered. She was like a red lotus that had fallen from a violent storm, carrying heavy loads on the surface of the water.

Before Qin’er could reply, Linglong couldn’t wait any longer. Of course, these things should be done sooner rather than later. He hurriedly crossed the beehip bridge and headed towards the study room. As he was anxious, he felt that the flower garden beneath his feet was also filled with deep suspicion. After walking for a long time, he arrived at the study room. Under the green screen window, he could roughly see Hui Qi’s figure. Qin’er ran out and said, “Here he is.”

Linglong nodded slightly, adjusted her facial expression, and said, “I see. If I don’t have any good news here, you can go to the Kunde Palace to invite the Empress over. Remember?”

After Linglong finished speaking, she supported the door frame and turned around slightly. Qin’er looked at Linglong Yu Fu Rong’s face with a completely uncertain expression. She couldn’t help but feel a little sad. “Master, what’s the point of this? Now that the Emperor is angry, Master, Master …”

Linglong asked indifferently, “Do you remember what I said just now?”

Qin’er could only nod her head and wait outside anxiously. She knew that Linglong would not refuse others, but she did not expect that she would sacrifice her life for such an irrelevant matter. It was truly unexpected and reasonable. She watched Linglong slowly enter the inner hall …

Ambergris burned in the inner hall. It was faint and faint. Linglong stepped on the golden carpet. Her heart was much more stable. She was very skillful in speaking, so she naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to go straight into the hall. When Linglong saw Hui Qi standing by the window, she lowered her voice slightly and asked, “What is the Emperor looking at? Is she willow-colored in front of Mo?”

Huiqi was slightly stunned. He turned his head and said, “However, spring has begun. Spring and scenery are bright. Everywhere I look, there is full of vitality. I feel that it is very pleasing to the eye. Therefore, I went up and looked at it for a while longer.”

Linglong smiled and said, “Spring is naturally better than autumn, but Your Majesty …”

Even though Linglong had skillfully avoided going straight into it, However, he was still captured by Huiqi, intentionally or unintentionally, Huiqi smiled helplessly and looked at Linglong. His voice was a little cold. “I know what you’re doing here. I can only tell you that there are some things that I have no choice but to do. This is all I have to say. It’s easy for you to think about it. I’m not a stony-hearted father. You also know that it’s not good for a woman to provoke a war.”

Linglong’s voice was softer than the gentlest nephrite. “Naturally, it’s not good. However, Your Majesty, this concubine did not come to plead for mercy for Princess Baoluo. Instead, I beg Your Majesty to make Shili Hongzhuang more lively when she gets married.”

Linglong knew that the most taboo thing in Huiqi’s heart was for others to fight against her head on, Therefore, Linglong agreed to Huiqi first, and then slowly thought of a way to change the situation. Huiqi’s expression changed slightly. He smiled exaggeratedly and sat in the armchair, saying, “I didn’t expect that you would actually come here to plead for mercy for Chen Chongyi. I thought you came here to plead for mercy for Chen Chongyi.”

“Elder sister Chong Yi is the mother of humans, so she naturally thought carefully. I heard that elder sister Chong Yi knelt outside school for the Emperor’s son for two hours without the Emperor noticing or asking?” As Linglong spoke, she took out a small glass of wine and poured water for Huiqi.

Huiqi’s lips tightened as he said, “Chen Chongyi is also an old fool. Could it be that if she kneels down like this, she will change? She is really unconscious. What I hate the most is being threatened. Since she likes to kneel down, let her kneel down. Perhaps she will only wake up if she kneels down!” Huiqi said loudly, Then, she turned her eyes to Linglong and said, “Don’t I know that Chen Chongyi must have asked you to come over and say something nice to me? However, Linglong, you also know that the Great Emperor has no choice but to plan everything out. It is impossible to fight a war, and the consequences of offending the Concubine Mude Clan are unimaginable.”

The corners of Linglong’s mouth always contained a faint gentle smile as she said, “Your Majesty, drink tea.”

Huiqi handed a small cup of tea in his hand to Huiqi. Huiqi held the wine cup and was slightly enraged. “Are you also unconscious? You don’t need to put a good cup of tea, but you use the wine cup to pour tea?”

Linglong hurriedly knelt down and said, “Does Your Majesty also know what Qi Dafei means?” Linglong was afraid that Huiqi would expel her if she could not finish her sentence, so she calmed down and said, “The Emperor thinks that Princess Baoluo is unparalleled in intelligence, doesn’t he?” Actually, I only wanted to say that I was the one who contributed to the banquet the last few times. Could it be that the Emperor doesn’t know? Although Princess Baoluo was old enough to marry, the Emperor thought carefully. It was not that Baoluo could not marry, but that Baoluo did not have any real talent. Wasn’t the Emperor afraid that Baoluo would be ridiculed by others when he went to the uncivilized place of the Western barbarians? ” Linglong was about to finish her sentence in one breath before looking at Huiqi with her beautiful eyes that were even more beautiful than the clearest crystal.

Huiqi waved his hand and said, “I naturally know, but I cannot take risks. Do you understand?”

Linglong smiled and said, “The Emperor naturally will not take risks, but the Western barbarians are also a small country that needs restraint, right? If a talented and virtuous woman comes to the Western barbarians, then not only can she not restrain the Western barbarians, but she will also be humiliated and bullied by the Western barbarians. Does the Emperor think it is very good?”

Huiqi tightly gripped the glass in his hand and said, “This is what you are going to say today. I remember that you said that you are not here to plead for Princess Baoluo. What are you doing?” Huiqi’s voice grew louder and louder. Almost everyone outside could hear Qin’er clearly. Qin’er was about to look for the Empress, but at this moment, Linglong said indifferently, “This is just my humble opinion. The Emperor will naturally decide which is more important. The Emperor is the True Dragon Son of Heaven’s Divine Eyes, so he is naturally more far-sighted than me, isn’t he?”

“You–” Huiqi pointed at Linglong with trembling fingers, and said after a long time, “You get up first.”

Linglong obediently stood up. She knew Huiqi better, Huiqi would not be threatened by anyone. Linglong was naturally not someone who looked down on herself, so she knelt down and stood up. After standing up, she walked to Huiqi with her slender waist and took the wine cup in Huiqi’s hand and said, “Your Majesty, let me pour you a cup of tea. After all, this is the true response, isn’t it?” As he spoke, Cheng Hao poured out the tea with his wrist. Huiqi took it in his hand and said, “What you said is not without reason. You go out first. I will consider it carefully.”

Linglong Yan did not dare to say anything else. If she really angered the Emperor, Linglong would understand. Not only would she be unlucky, even the Bu Manor would probably be full of slaughter. Thus, she smiled faintly and walked out. Her heart was much more at ease now. She had just walked out and saw Qin’er anxiously looking in the direction of the door. Hence, she smiled with spring water in her eyes and said, “Let’s go back.”

Linglong smiled and said, “What are you thinking? Go back.” Her pair of clear eyes looked at Qin’er in front of her. Qin’er was dumbfounded, and for a moment, she felt something in her heart.

Qin’er hurriedly stretched out her hand and walked over. Just as she walked out, Linglong suddenly felt that she should let Ji Zhuhua help her. She changed her direction and said, “Let’s go to Kun De Palace.” Qin’er did not say anything. She only supported Linglong. Not far away, she saw Concubine Mude and Princess Zhenxi walking over. Concubine De’s face was expressionless. Princess Zhenxi nodded slightly and missed Linglong and Qin’er.

Imperial Concubine De suddenly didn’t know what to say to Zhenxi. Zhenxi then turned her head and said, “Empress Jieyu, Zhenxi wants to talk to Empress Jieyu for a moment.”

Linglong looked back at Zhenxi. Zhenxi’s mouth was like a vermilion pill. Every smile moved her heart and soul. Linglong smiled and said, “Long time no see, you’re getting more and more neat. Come over and talk.” Zhenxi went to Linglong’s side and said, “Where is Your Highness going?”

Imperial Concubine De also walked over at this time. Linglong thought of Chen Chongyi the moment she saw Imperial Concubine De protecting her calf. She felt a little unhappy, but she still asked, “Is Concubine De going to school for the Emperor’s son? Right now, the Emperor is reviewing the memorials from the Western barbarians. I’m afraid he doesn’t have time. It would be bad to reject Imperial Concubine De’s face.”

Imperial Concubine De nodded slightly and stretched out her hand to straighten her hair. She could tell that Imperial Concubine De was also faintly sweeping her eyebrows today, which surprised Linglong slightly.

Zhen Xi looked at Ling Long with a smile on her face and said, “Jie Yu is joking. They say that she has undergone eighteen transformations. Her concubines are not old enough to change.” After saying that, she lowered her head tamely. Seeing this, Linglong couldn’t help but smile, “You go ahead and I’ll have a word with your mother and imperial concubine.”

Zhenxi knew that she couldn’t be disturbed, so she left.

Linglong looked at Concubine De carefully and said, “Your Highness is also dressed up today. Does Your Highness really want Baoluo to go to the Western barbarians?” Although Concubine De was old, because of the combination of makeup and clothes, her skin looked as moist as warm jade. Her hands caressed her cheeks intentionally or unintentionally and said, “Could it be that I still want my daughter to go to the Western barbarians?”

“Actually, Xi Yi can also control the Central Plains. Could it be that Concubine De can’t see it? I’m here only to ask Your Highness to protect Princess Baoluo. For the rest, Your Highness is a smart person, so she naturally puts the overall situation first.” Linglong knew that Taifu Mu was also a recruiter in private. The reason why most people recruit people is simply because they want to conspire to usurp the throne, The army of the Western barbarians was actually overcrowded. If they could let their children have a place in the centralized power, then the final war would not be without small benefits. Linglong had no way to convince Concubine De. She could only lure her in order to let Concubine De understand the importance of the matter.

Imperial Concubine De still had that wooden face and said coldly, “No one would not even give up their own daughters for these things. Tiger poison doesn’t eat children. This palace is not a tiger.”

Linglong nodded and said, “Perhaps Concubine De hasn’t figured it out yet. There is no such thing as’tiger poison does not eat son ‘. It is actually very simple for Concubine De to fight from afar. Sun Zi has the art of war, soldier, and tricks! In fact, he probably doesn’t understand Zui Xishi in the Wu Palace. There are some things that can change him, right?”

Imperial Concubine De’s expression slightly changed when she heard this and said, “You’re just trying to make me let Baoluo off.” Imperial Concubine De was a person who worshipped Buddha all year round, so naturally, her emotions did not change much. Linglong disguised herself as an indifferent expression and said, “These are on the one hand, but most importantly, they are still on the other hand of the Empress, aren’t they?”

Concubine De stretched out her hand to straighten out her temples, saying, “This palace will not be tricked. Xi Yi, this palace’s Zhen Xi will not go. It would be more appropriate for Baoluo to go.” There was a faint smile on Linglong’s cherry lips. “Your Highness, don’t you hear it? If you can’t bear it, then you’ll make a mess. It’s not that you won’t be able to live forever, it’s just that you’re temporarily giving up on it. I know what your Highness wants to do. Your Highness, you just have to do it.”

Imperial Concubine De looked at Linglong’s beautiful red lips and said, “You are indeed smart. Even pleading for mercy is so brilliant. However, this palace will not be fooled. If you let Baoluo beg for fortune, this palace will not let Zhen Xi go to the Wilderness.”

A red tide slowly appeared on Linglong’s cheeks and she said, “Your Highness is very far-sighted. Everyone should also ask for your blessings.”
