The First Empress - Chapter 189

Chapter 189 Poisonous Arrow Wood and Wine

They sing, they drain their cups of jade, they strum on horseback their guitars.

Linglong raised her glass and placed it on her lips. At this time, Chen Chongyi suddenly rushed in. Chen Chongyi had always been a hairpin of the Luo dress. Today, she looked crazy. After walking in, she directly held the wine cup in Linglong’s hand and threw it heavily on the ground.

Before Linglong could react, she could only hear a “piercing” sound from the ground. The brocade carpet had been burnt. Linglong was secretly shocked. Fortunately, she did not drink. Otherwise, she would have really pierced through her intestines and died.

Facing Concubine De Caixiu’s attentive jade bell, Linglong could only fight for Zui Yanhong. However, Linglong did not expect that such a brazen thing could be done by someone as respected as Imperial Concubine De. Linglong was puzzled and frowned slightly at Imperial Concubine De. Imperial Concubine De was furious. She looked at Chen Chongyi and said, “Chen Chongyi is so bold. Is this also the place where you randomly dashed around? It can be seen that it is becoming more and more indecent.”

Chen Chongyi walked over and grabbed the blue and white porcelain wine jug. Then, he threw it on the ground with a giggle. The wine jug immediately scattered into pieces. Chen Chongyi was like a butterfly wearing flowers, jumping about like a butterfly. She looked completely different from an ordinary person.

Linglong was shocked and quickly grabbed Chen Chongyi. “Sister Chongyi, what’s wrong with you?”

Chen Chongyi only smiled foolishly. It was insane and ridiculous to the extreme, After witnessing it, it felt strange and bitter. When did such a palace concubine lose her mind? However, this was clearly not the first time. The first time Chen Chongyi lost her mind was when Li Chongyuan gave birth. However, it was really better since then. Whether she was intentionally doing it today or returning to her previous state was not clear to Linglong. Imperial Concubine De was also unclear. It seemed that only the middle-aged Chen Chongyi understood.

Imperial Concubine De’s enraged eyes fell over and she slapped Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi actually dodged. Linglong exerted strength on her wrist and tightened her grip on Imperial Concubine De’s wrist. Imperial Concubine De’s wrist was as stiff as a blue field jade carving. Linglong said coldly, “Imperial Concubine De, haven’t you played enough yet?” This palace did not expect Your Highness to be so respectful. Princess Zhen Xi did not go to “courtesy” for long, but Your Highness’s heart itched impatiently. Yes! “This palace is the one who contributed to the trouble in Zhejiang Province, but Your Highness, from the beginning, I never thought of harming you and Princess Zhenxi. If this palace really wants to harm you and Princess Zhenxi, there will be more chances.” That pair of stiff palms slightly broke free from Linglong’s wrists and independently emitted a powerful arrogance that looked down on heaven and earth.

“Do you really think this palace will not harm you?” Imperial Concubine De’s voice trembled as she looked at Linglong and said in a hoarse voice, “If you don’t need to worry, would Zhenxi leave this palace so soon?” Imperial Concubine De coughed. Linglong wanted to give Imperial Concubine De a pat on the back, but Imperial Concubine De refused. “It’s all because of you. You ruined Zhen Xi’s reputation and everything about Zhen Xi.”

“Don’t touch me, don’t come over. This palace is afraid that you will secretly plot against me. What evil tricks do you have to harm this palace with?” De Fei said as she retreated repeatedly, a ripple in Linglong’s eyes. “Didn’t Your Highness hear that a woman would not be allowed to stay, nor did she smell half of a son-in-law?” This was something that people were talking about. Could it be that the Empress still didn’t understand that the Emperor would marry Zhen Xi out sooner or later in order to protect the people of the Realm of Peace? Now, she was letting the Western barbarians off the hook. Do you want to give the huns and gentle to kiss? Don’t you know that Rou Ran and Xiong Nu are very cruel? ”

Chen Chongyi was still giggling. The corner of her mouth was salivating. Not only did it look like she was losing her mind, but she was also acting rudely. Qin’er hurriedly came over to help Linglong support Chen Chongyi. Linglong knew that she couldn’t analyze too much for Concubine De today. Otherwise, Concubine De wouldn’t be able to remember it.

Thus, she gave the order to expel the guests, but Ji Zhu Hua had just arrived at the Cloud Phoenix Hall. Even if Chen Chong Yi lost her mind, she was forced by Qin ‘Er Niu to press her head in salute. The Empress did not look at the disheveled cups and plates in the room. She only looked at Chen Chong Yi’s disheveled temples and her exquisite celadon porcelain like water, and her beautiful eyes fell on Concubine De.

Ji Zhu Hua’s face was as clear as a sculpture. He looked around and landed on a chair inlaid with ebony gold. He heavily patted the armrest of the chair. “How dare you make such a scene? If this palace can’t come, I don’t know how it will get out of hand! Did you look at this palace in the eyes, Concubine De-”

Ji Zhuhua’s sharp face was covered with a layer of murderous aura. The peach blossom-like smile on his face that kept his beauty at all times had long since disappeared. “You are the head of the Fourth Concubine. You have helped this palace manage the six palaces for many years. I never expected that you would actually do this today …”

Ji Zhuhua didn’t know what to say, but he just pointed at a pile of broken porcelain on the ground. “How can you be like this? Innuendo in the harem is already a big crime. How dare you …”

‘”There’s nothing I don’t dare to do now. Since Your Highness has said so many words, why don’t you take this opportunity to release me? It’s also good to knock the mountain and shake the tiger so that all the concubines know that no one can shake Bu Jieyu’s foundation with Your Highness’s support. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?” De Fei coldly glanced at Ji Zhuhua. “Your Highness has long regarded me as a thorn in the side. Actually, I don’t like you either. I originally thought that I would be able to protect myself if I didn’t ask for anything. Who knew that you wouldn’t let me go just like that? I naturally want to fight back.”

Linglong did not expect Concubine De to clash with Ji Zhuhua like this. She looked at Qin’er with her eyes. Qin’er hurriedly went over and closed the palace door. At this moment, Linglong helped Chen Chongyi to the Empress’ side. “Your Highness, please calm down. Let’s find the imperial physician to check on Chen Chongyi first. Is it alright?” Big Sister Chongyi was frightened last time, but now, she’s always like this … ”

“Go down” Ji Zhuhua threatened, even Linglong was shocked. Ji Zhuhua’s face softened when he saw Linglong being intimidated. “I know, just let her go. You stay here, I want to talk to you and Concubine De properly,” he said with a slight nod. Ji Zhu Hua’s eyes inadvertently emitted a light that no one dared to underestimate, and she raised her head neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Imperial Concubine De commanded, completely fearful of anyone. She looked at Ji Zhuhua and said, “Empress, perhaps there was also Empress’ help in those tricks at that time. Empress has long sleeves and good dancing skills. I admire her.”

“You-” No matter how good Ji Zhuhua’s cultivation was, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear when he encountered such a scene. Imperial Concubine De was not afraid of anything now.

Linglong raised her eyes and looked at the Empress. The two willow-leaf eyebrows also rippled softly. “Your Highness, stop it. If this continues, it will be no different. Today, it is only my fault for not drinking. If Concubine De really wants to let this concubine drink, this concubine will naturally be overjoyed.”

Imperial Concubine De’s eyes seemed to have a smile all the time. “You are indeed very talkative. This palace will naturally treat you to a drink. Could it be that you really think that this palace is treating you to a drink? Even if you drink wine, you will not be sad.” “Have you ever thought about this palace? This palace’s wine has turned into tears, and you have joined hands to send my daughter to a foreign country. Her heart can be executed. You … As long as this palace still has one breath left, I will fight against you. Wait until the end.”

Ji Zhuhua’s eyebrows curved, and the strange smile at the corner of his mouth made people think that she was strange and quiet. “Then say this–” Ji Zhuhua sneered, “This palace will keep your life and fight against this palace properly. This palace will also let you know what long sleeves and good dancing are, and what is exquisite on all sides, so that you won’t die in peace.”

Imperial Concubine De looked at Ji Zhuhua with disappointment and said, “Your Highness, don’t be too conceited. Your Highness has done unreasonable things in the past. When the time comes, your concubines will naturally investigate it and play it on the Emperor one by one. If Your Highness finds out that Your Highness has been wearing a cuckold on him all these years, I wonder if Your Highness will be overjoyed or exterminated.” Concubine De’s voice was like a thin knife that shattered the stagnant air around her.

Linglong’s heart was beating abnormally. She knew Ji Zhuhua’s shady relationship with Seventh Prince Hui Ye, He didn’t expect that there was a more thought-provoking inside story. It would be great if he knew about this secret now. He could even threaten the Empress if necessary. Imperial Concubine Piande’s words came to an abrupt halt. There was no further to follow. Linglong looked at Ji Zhuhua. Ji Zhuhua was still smiling gracefully and moved to Imperial Concubine De’s side.

Linglong looked at Ji Zhuhua’s face slowly approaching Concubine De’s. Her fair skin set off her pink lips. It was extremely strange. She said, “If you say it out loud, someone must believe it. If no one believes it, it will still be a delusion.”

Concubine De smiled faintly like a mist. “Is it true that this palace will naturally give everyone an explanation? Could it be that this palace is really stupid to such an extent?”

Ji Zhuhua’s cherry blossom-like lips spat out a thin sentence, “This palace is really going to release you now.”

Imperial Concubine De only nodded her head, “Forgive me, but it’s just a small matter. Your Highness does not dare to send out concubines. Your Highness’ father and elder brother are also a little peer-excluded from your elder brother and Seventh Prince. When the time comes …”

Ji Zhu Hua’s delicate skin trembled imperceptibly. “Don’t talk nonsense with this palace. Go down and copy the [Female Ring] and [Palace Rules] twenty times. This palace will temporarily put an end to what happened today. If you are still unyielding, this palace will make you shatter like that porcelain bottle.”

Imperial Concubine De looked at Ji Zhuhua quietly and said, “Your Majesty, is there a reason why Imperial Concubine Bu Jieyu doesn’t punish me? Does Imperial Concubine really think that just punishing me can be justified?”

Ji Zhuhua raised his eyebrows and looked at Linglong’s simple and slightly gorgeous makeup. He said, “This palace has allowed Jieyu to be grounded for a month from today onwards. During this period, apart from this palace personally summoning him, other than coming to school for the Emperor’s son every day to answer the imperial edict, you are not allowed to take a single step out of Yunluan Palace. Are you satisfied now?”

Linglong felt wronged in her heart, but she was somewhat indescribably grateful. In this way, Concubine De would not treat her much for at least a month. After all, this kind of corporal punishment was helping her from another aspect.

Imperial Concubine De rolled her eyes and said, “This concubine will copy the female ring now. Don’t worry, Your Highness. This concubine will definitely copy it properly.”

Ji Zhuhua’s eyes were deep and divine. “What’s the use of just copying? It’s a waste of time if you don’t comprehend it a hundred times. It’s only proper to chase after it with admiration. Do you understand?”

Imperial Concubine De’s eyebrows are as long as willows. “This concubine understands. Naturally, she will understand.”
