The First Empress - Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Humiliate

Linglong was helpless. She could only follow Hui Qi to Concubine De’s palace. This place was already in a mess. Concubine De’s face was ashen after this incident. Chen Chongyi came over crying and reported, “Concubine De is talking with her concubines outside. Hearing this news, Concubine De has already fainted. Pei Minghai just sniffed Concubine De with shameful salt. Concubine De opened her eyes and fainted again.”

Huiqi looked at Chen Chongyi and couldn’t help but get angry. He kicked him, “You also have a princess. You must know that a princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. How can you talk to Concubine De outside? If it weren’t for you, there probably wouldn’t be such a thing. You should reflect on yourself.”

Chen Chongyi’s tears rippled down her cheeks. He knelt down and said, He knocked his head on the ground, Linglong couldn’t bear it. She wanted to help Chen Chongyi, but she was still able to endure. At this moment, Concubine De woke up and looked at Linglong. Her eyes were filled with wisdom and insight. She said in a weak voice, “The Emperor must not blame Chen Chongyi. She was talking to her concubine with good intentions. Moreover, she was in a big situation, so there were many people in the palace. Only then did she go outside.”

“You’re really foolish,” Huiqi’s eyes made people dare not stare at him. “You clearly know that Prince Tuoba wants to take Zhen Xi for himself several times, but you are good enough to give him an opportunity to take advantage of it.” Huiqi waved his bright yellow dragon robe and walked into the inner hall in three or two steps.

Zhenxi fell asleep. There was a faint smell of vanilla in the room, Huiqi covered his nose. Prince Tuoba had already put on his clothes and was standing on his feet. Because he was so passionate, his cheeks were flushed. Concubine De weakly pulled out a sword and was about to fight Tuoba Rui to the death. Tuoba Rui bowed to Huiqi. Although Huiqi was furious, there was nothing he could do about it. He asked, “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

“Didn’t the Emperor already see it?” Tuoba Rui said confidently, Because success made him happy, Linglong looked at Tuoba Rui, She then turned her gaze to the woman on the bed. Zhenxi’s long hair poured down. covering his skin, However, a suspicious crimson color could still be seen on the exposed skin, Linglong Ziyun quickly walked to Princess Zhenxi’s side and covered her quilt. Zhenxi extended her hand gratefully and weakly. She held Linglong’s hand. Linglong felt Zhenxi tremble. She could not bear to look into Zhenxi’s eyes, but she comforted Zhenxi with soft words.

That beautiful and elegant face was an expression that only those who were extremely frightened would have. The corners of their lips were tense, and Linglong repeatedly comforted them, “It’s fine. With the Emperor here, I’ll give you an explanation.”

Hui Qi looked at the bed. The damned muddy white color was mixed with a crimson blood stain. He didn’t need to look to know what was going on. Hui Qi coldly pointed at Tuoba Rui and said, “What are you doing? Are you not afraid that I will kill you completely? Someone will send Tuoba Rui to the Heavenly Prison!” Then, his noble and extraordinary face was twisted.

Linglong was shocked. She was afraid that she would confess if she was tortured severely. She was just about to let go of Huiqi and comfort her. She didn’t expect that Huiqi’s words would be cut down by Concubine De’s waist. Concubine De sighed weakly and said, “Your Majesty, I would rather marry Princess Zhenxi to a foreign country.”

Huiqi said gently, “Married to the Western barbarians, I can’t come back four times a year. I haven’t considered this matter clearly. Did you help me, Saint Adjudicator?”

“This concubine dares not dictate, but I feel that since Princess Zhenxi and Prince Tuoba are happy, we have already had the words of the matchmaker. Now, it is better to become a beauty. What does the Emperor think?” Imperial Concubine De had obviously begged the Emperor. Huiqi did not know where the “two loves” came from. However, the best way now was this. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Imperial Concubine De and said, “You get up first.”

Concubine De regarded honor as ten times more important than life, but she refused to stand up. “Your Majesty, I beg you to agree to this concubine. Your Majesty should be blessed by your sons and grandsons.”

Huiqi was naturally extremely disgusted with “matchless sex”. He looked at Linglong and said, “Linglong, what do you think?”

Linglong’s sparkling and translucent eyes looked over, “My parents are here, so I don’t want to travel far, but the Emperor has not discovered it. Since this is not as good as becoming a beauty, Prince Tuoba seems to be in love with Princess Zhenxi. The Emperor probably needs to be his father-in-law,” said De Fei with a glance at Hui Qi.

Huiqi held a piece of sheep fat jade in his hand and said, “Zhen Xi, I want to ask you a question. Do you agree or not?”

Zhen Xi’s face, which was even whiter than pure white flawless jade, was so pale that there was no trace of blood on it. Lian Liang trembled. “I don’t want to. I would rather die than surrender. I only hope that my father will grant me a death. Once I die, I will save my reputation. I really don’t have any feelings for Prince Tuoba. I don’t …” But Zhenxi’s cheeks are also red. She was also uninvolved. She just felt strange about what happened just now. Why did she become so ape-minded? She couldn’t control herself in a moment. Now, it was much better. She was very clear.

Prince Tuoba cupped his hands and said, “Then, does the Emperor think that this foreign minister has used force on the princess?”

‘”No–” Hui Qi was a little embarrassed. He had clearly broken his teeth and swallowed them into his stomach. It was as if Hui Qi had eaten ten thousand flies.

Seeing that there was a stalemate, Linglong asked Concubine De, “Sister De Concubine is really willing to betroth Princess Zhen Xi to Prince Tuoba?” Imperial Concubine De raised her head and did not conceal the coldness and ruthlessness in her eyes. She smiled bitterly with contempt and said, “This palace is naturally willing. I’m afraid this is also Sister Jieyu’s idea. This palace also asks Sister Jieyu to be a peacemaker. Don’t let this matter get away with it.”

“Princess Zhenxi and Prince Tuoba have long been deeply rooted in love. Why didn’t the Emperor choose an auspicious day to accomplish their good deeds?” Linglong’s gentle hand gently pressed down on Zhen Xi, which was even warmer than the gentlest nephrite.

Before he could finish his sentence, Tuoba Rui was already overjoyed. She scratched her cheeks happily, ‘”If the emperor feels that things need to be waited for slowly, it’s actually not bad. Since this matter has already been settled between husband and wife, then please give them the name of husband and wife. Please sympathize with the common people. Linglong is here to thank the emperor for his kindness.” Linglong gestured to him. As she spoke, Linglong had already bowed and knelt on the ground. She kowtowed heavily to Huiqi. Huiqi was helpless and could only sigh heavily

He looked at Prince Tuoba and said, “Will you treat Zhen Xi well? Zhen Xi is my second princess and has been spoiled since childhood. You must take good care of Zhen Xi and not let Zhen Xi feel wronged. Do you understand these things?”

“Of course I understand,” Tuoba Rui’s sparkling eyes looked at Linglong and then at Hui Qilian kowtowing, “I thank father for his kindness.” After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to Huiqi gloomily. Linglong only felt that what she did today was a little too much. Today, she seemed to have become even colder-blooded.

Seeing this scene, Linglong forced a smile. Her delicate lips, which were even more delicate than the most beautiful rose petals, suddenly opened and said, “Your Majesty is naturally in a good mood after obtaining this good son-in-law. Why don’t you go ahead and have a good look? Leave this place to your concubines.”

“Prince Tuoba is also obedient. His Majesty should be happy to know that he has changed his tune so quickly.” Linglong was helpless. She could only think of a way to comfort Huiqi. Huiqi already knew that it was a foregone conclusion. There was no turning back. She could only bitterly smile and say, “Prince Tuoba, let’s go to the front hall. You are now my East Bed’s belly. Go out and eat wine.”

“Alright, I thank Father Emperor.” The two of them walked away with discord between their faces and hearts.

Imperial Concubine De had already stood up. Linglong only felt that after De Fei stood up, her body gradually became tall and sturdy. Qin’er was already standing in front of Linglong. Afraid that Concubine De would hurt Linglong, Linglong still held Zhenxi’s hand with one hand. Zhenxi’s tears rolled down her cheeks. Concubine De walked over step by step, “Bu Linglong, you’re so ruthless. This palace has only seen your wolf ambitions now. Fortunately, you’re a woman. If you were a man, you would probably be surnamed Bu, right?”

Linglong replied calmly, “Your Highness is lacking. Your Highness agreed to this matter. Your Highness asked me to be the mediator. Is your Highness satisfied with what I did?” Zhen Xi already knew about Linglong Yu De Fei’s tit-for-tat confrontation. Unfortunately, Zhen Xi did not know why De Fei had such a strong feeling of conflict with her. She still held Linglong’s wrist tightly.

Linglong’s pupils, which were even more beautiful than the clearest crystal, looked at Zhen Xi and said, “Every woman will one day be like this. As a woman of the emperor’s general, she probably will not be able to avoid such a fate. You should take care of yourself and not commit suicide. Do you understand?”

Princess Zhenxi humiliated herself and lowered her head. “Zhenxi understands that Zhenxi will not commit suicide. Zhenxi will not.”

Linglong stood up. Her body was slender and beautiful. She let go of Zhenxi’s hand and said, “You’re a smart child. You need to know how to protect yourself, okay?”

Zhen Xi nodded in understanding.

Linglong stood up and walked to Concubine De without hesitation. Concubine De looked at Linglong unwillingly. Linglong’s soul-stirring eyes also looked at Concubine De. Concubine De said, “Everything … is you, right?”

Linglong did not deny it. She did not admit it and did not deny it. A faintly cold smile appeared on her thin lips. She said, “There are some things that you and I don’t want to see if birds die for food, but you and I have to watch them, and we have to open our eyes wide, right?”

Imperial Concubine De sighed angrily and said, “I’ve finally lost. I didn’t expect that I would lose to a young girl. You, Bu Linglong, this palace will remember that you and I are enemies and not friends from now on. It’s good that you understand.”

Linglong used her charming and boneless hands to gently remove the strands of hair from her face. “This palace understands the Empress’ painstaking efforts, but this palace will also repay her kindness. Your Highness helped this palace. I, Ben Mingban V, do not dare to forget that Your Highness will definitely go through fire and water to help her out of her predicament. Your Highness can rest assured.”

Imperial Concubine De waved her hand coldly and said, “This palace is completely benevolent and righteous to you. What kind of conflict of interest does it have? Impossible, you don’t need to repay it.”

“This palace is only helping you, it’s just that Tree Origin has no heart to bear seeds. Don’t think too much about it.” Concubine De slowly walked to Princess Zhen Xi’s beard and extended her hand.
