The First Empress - Chapter 184

Chapter 184 Love Coil

The exquisite and beautiful lotus feet also moved silently. They looked at Tuoba Rui aggressively. Tuoba Rui’s eyes dimmed for a moment and said, “This outer court official is also a prince. I can’t help but do these things, but this outer court official will definitely treat Zhen Xi well. After all, Zhen Xi is the princess of this dynasty, so this outer court official naturally will not be courting Qin Twilight.”

“Forget it, I will still help you.” A faint smile appeared in Linglong’s large obsidian-like eyes.

Linglong calmed herself down and asked Qin’er to come over and whisper something to Qin’er. Qin’er’s expression changed drastically, “Your Highness, this is a great crime. Has Your Highness thought about it clearly?”

Linglong’s eyes were charming and slightly hesitant, but after looking at Tuoba Rui, she was still firm and said, “Either you die or I die in this palace. It has already reached such a stage that I have no choice but to attack. I have no choice but to go. You just have to go.”

Tuoba Rui didn’t know what Linglong had arranged for Qin’er to do, She could only quietly wait. Linglong was also quietly waiting. She slowly sat on a huge ebony chair. It made her look even thinner like a piece of living rice paper. Her thoughts had long since flown into the clouds. Right now, there was only a walking corpse sitting here.

Whether this should be done or not, Actually, Linglong had thought of it from the beginning. It was just that she kept telling herself that she couldn’t let Zhenxi hate her too much. That was why she gave up on the plan. However, if it was like this, the final result wouldn’t be very good. Perhaps even Huiqi would let her marry Baoluo away. Didn’t all the plans she had used for half a month fail?

In any case, Concubine De had offended her. She had no way to resolve her past grudges, so she could only brave her way down.

“Master, Mother-” Qin’er handed over a small paper bag and called Linglong softly. Linglong finally put away her thoughts from the nine heavens. She looked at Qin’er and said, “Alright?”

Qin’er nodded, “Alright, that’s all. The weight is already large enough. Is Your Highness really going to die?”

There was a ruthlessness in Linglong’s watery eyes. She nodded and said, “I have no choice but to shoot the arrow on the sword.”

The corner of Tuoba Rui’s mouth curled up slightly as he looked at Linglong and asked, “Is Empress Jieyu doing a riddle? I don’t understand what Empress means. Does Empress want to help me or Princess Zhenxi?”

Linglong’s red lips parted slightly. “Of course I’m helping the prince. This paper bag–” Linglong pushed the paper bag down along the clean table to Tuoba Rui’s hand and said, “There’s a strange fragrance in this paper bag. It’s called ‘Mei Xiang’. As long as you sprinkle this fragrance on your boudoir, it will attract people’s attention. The prince shouldn’t be too late. If you really want to accomplish this, you can act now.” After Linglong finished speaking, she still felt a deep sense of guilt that almost threw her into the eighteen levels of hell. Her fingers trembled slightly, and her eyelids swayed. A tear fell down her cheeks. However, after she finished speaking, Linglong became even more determined in her beliefs and what she wanted to do.

This paper bag undoubtedly affected Tuoba Rui’s nerves. Tuoba Rui slowly opened the paper bag. Linglong was frightened and hurriedly reached out to cover the paper bag. “The prince can just take a look. It can’t be sucked into his heart. Otherwise, it will be hard to fill the gully and his face will turn red.”

Prince Tuoba smiled as he looked at Linglong and said, “This, but can it really make people seduce into their bones? Don’t be an imperial concubine playing tricks on outsiders?” Tuoba Rui was still suspicious. He pointed at the table and said, “The harem concubine is the best at making odd fragrances when she is free. Some of them are calm and some of them are for the sake of keeping her tender and loving. Do you know that?”

Tuoba Rui’s eyes were like clear water. “I know, but it’s not easy to enter Zhenxi’s room. At that time, it won’t be self-defeating.”

“Prince, please be at ease.” Linglong said and waved her hand. Qin’er had already walked over with small steps. A little while later, a little girl had already stood beside Linglong. Linglong said, “Prince, you can give Mei Xiang to this little palace maid. Lu’er is served by Princess Zhenxi. Does the Prince know?”

“Are you willing to help me?” Tuoba Rui’s eyes turned around Lu’er’s face for two weeks. ‘”Lu’er is willing to help the prince, but after the matter is settled …” Lu’er didn’t dare to make any request. She only looked at Linglong and said, “Lu’er’s life is bitter. She was sold into the palace when she was young. Naturally, she wanted to have food and clothing. Does the prince understand what Lu’er means?” Lu’er nodded her head repeatedly because she didn’t dare to look at Tuoba Rui.

Prince Tuoba smiled and said, “Naturally, I understand. Nobody needs to take any risks.” As she spoke, she handed over a golden ingot. Lu’er did not receive it, but caught the paper bag in Tuoba Rui’s hand. She timidly said, “We’ll talk about it after we succeed.”

Linglong pressed the corner of her forehead with her hand and said, “Qin’er, send Lu’er out of the small corner door. Don’t let anyone see her.”

Qin’er and Lu’er had already left. Tuoba Rui smiled happily, “Your Highness is used to mobilizing troops, even looking for a palace maid is so careful and sophisticated. Your Highness is indeed worthy of her reputation.” With that, Linglong cupped her hands. She only smiled and said faintly, “Spring Festival is too short. Tonight, I will find someone to lure Concubine De away. When the time comes, you can take advantage of the situation and enter. You must remember to treat Zhenxi well.”

With that said, Tuoba Rui could only take his leave. As he thanked her, Linglong anxiously asked Chen Chongyi, “Sister Chongyi, are you willing to help my sister?” Chen Chongyi heard Linglong finish these things, While secretly shocked, he also secretly admired Linglong’s iron wrist technique and said, “As long as it’s for Bao Luo, even my elder sister’s life can be discarded. Moreover, it’s such a small matter, I can rest assured. Tonight, my elder sister will definitely watch the lotus flowers with De Fei in the Tai Ye Lake. My elder sister will definitely politely plead with Concubine De.”

“That’s good.” Linglong nodded and instructed Chen Chongyi to return.

Linglong was afraid of losing. She found Chen Chongyi to lure Concubine De away tonight. This way, it would be convenient. Secondly, Concubine De would not arrive in Zhen Xi’s boudoir very quickly. Anyway, Linglong had already made such a big enemy of Concubine De, so she naturally didn’t care anymore.

With his body cut into pieces, he dared to pull the Emperor off his horse. The current Linglong was probably like this.

Tonight is a little stuffy. Why is it so stuffy before summer, or is it so embarrassing when you have something on your mind? Linglong was restless. After a while, she asked Qin’er to go outside and get some information, After a while, she looked at the palace gate outside. At night, she naturally did not dare to sleep. But at this time, the Emperor came over. Linglong felt even more guilty. What she had just done was a little too much. However, Linglong quickly discovered something even stranger and weirder. The incident just now did not make her feel much sadness.

“Your Majesty is auspicious.” Linglong greeted, Huiqi gently helped Linglong inside. Inside the inner hall, Looking at Huiqi’s expression, Huiqi could tell that she was angry. She said, “Tuoba Rui doesn’t plan to leave now. He mistook another place for his hometown. It’s really hateful. Linglong, you always have a little idea. Let’s see if you can make this prince retreat and leave the capital earlier. The stone in my heart will fall earlier.”

Linglong’s pearl-like eyes shone brightly as she looked at Huiqi and said, “Actually, there is a way. However, this concubine is only a little clever. The Emperor is a great wisdom. It is better for the Emperor to make a decision at the crucial moment.” Huiqi nodded and said, “Tell me.”

Linglong’s beautiful and translucent cold eyes had a faint warmth as she said, “We can only follow the previous plan. The best policy is naturally to kill her. The worst policy can only be to kiss the princess. The Emperor is naturally unwilling to do so.” After hearing that, Huiqi had a faint anger in his eyes. Actually, he had already thought about it. There were only two plans, either one or the other. However, he didn’t dare to kill Tuoba Rui in the slightest. Even if Tuoba Rui died silently, Tuoba Khan wouldn’t let them off.

In addition, there was no choice but to talk about marriage.

Linglong looked at Huiqi. Huiqi seemed to be in a fog of smoke and could not make up his mind. ‘”Actually, there’s another way. The Emperor has agreed to come and tell Prince Tuoba that he is willing to marry Princess Zhenxi to him. When the time comes, Shili Hongzhuang and the palanquin will be better protected, and Princess Baoluo will be inside. Your concubine has already discussed with Princess Baoluo, and she will agree …” Linglong smiled.

‘”You–” Huiqi’s eyebrows slightly trembled. “The Emperor is reluctant to part with Zhen Xi and Huiqi. Is it good to waste it like this now? “Baoluo is sensible. He has already reached such a stage. He naturally does not avoid axes and axes. At most, he is only missing his relatives in the barbarian lands. If the flames of war are to fly, I’m afraid that even his relatives will not be able to think about it in the end. Think about it, Your Majesty. Isn’t that right?”

Huiqi secretly nodded and said, “I have wronged you. I’m afraid that this is the best plan for today. The Linglong Fruit is my humerus minister.”

“Your Majesty is too praised–” A layer of blood was missing from her exquisite and beautiful skin, and it was as pale as a piece of white paper.

Hui Qi lightly nodded and held Linglong’s hand. Just as he was about to rest, a chaotic voice suddenly came from outside. Qin’er rushed in panicked. Linglong looked serious and looked at Qin’er. “But you’re confused. Is the Emperor here without any manners? What’s going on so panicked?”

Qin’er seemed to have seen Huiqi. She hurriedly kowtowed. Huiqi waved her hand and said, “Get up, you have always been careful and mature. Now, you are becoming more and more ungraceful. What do you want to say?”

Qin’er didn’t dare to speak. Her eyes stared at Linglong from beginning to end. Linglong said angrily, “Just speak. Could it be that there’s something big going on?”

Only then did Qin’er kowtow repeatedly and say, “Your Majesty, this servant is not panicking. There is something that this servant should not be panicking about. Just now, Empress Chen Chongyi arrived at Imperial Concubine De’s palace. It was only a blink of an eye. This Prince Tuoba … Prince …”

Linglong’s cold eyes were like black gemstones on a cold pool of clear water. “Don’t hesitate. Just tell me, what does Prince Tuoba want to do?”

“The prince took advantage of the void and entered. He has already … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Huiqi almost fell and his fingers trembled violently. “Eunuch Lu, take the prince into custody first. After finding out the truth, you can ask him to kill him. Do it now.” When Duke Lu was about to take a step forward, Linglong suddenly stretched out her hand and said, “Slow down.”

Huiqi looked at Linglong puzzled and said, “What does this mean?”

Linglong also knelt beside Qin’er and said, “You mustn’t reveal your family’s shame. Your Majesty, don’t you think so?”

“Yes.”

Linglong continued, “The Western barbarians are not to be fought. Your Majesty, do you think so?”

“Yes.”

After Linglong finished asking, she raised her head slightly and said, “I’ve finished asking my concubine’s question.”

Huiqi reached out and said, “Get up.” Linglong stood up. Huiqi thought for a moment and said, “Go to Concubine De’s place to take a look at the situation. This matter probably has some inside information. Come with me.” Linglong shook her head and said, “Right now, Concubine De is most afraid of outsiders coming over. I don’t want to go anymore.”

“Linglong, you are not an outsider.” As Huiqi spoke, he stood up. Eunuch Lu lit a palace lantern and left with a group of people.
