The First Empress - Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Huiqi Was Furious

This matter wasn’t small or big, but Linglong had forgotten about it first. Someone was helping Linglong remember it.

Hui Qi was sincere. After knowing about this matter, he asked the Dragon Taboo Commandant to help him investigate.

“It’s good today. It’s good to stay in the palace and wait for the melon to ripen. Don’t act rashly.” When Hui Qi arrived at Yunluan Hall, the first thing he said when he saw Linglong was this. Linglong nodded her head and said, “Naturally, she was sleepy and faint. However, I was afraid that if I didn’t move around often, there would be a mishap. It was related to the royal descendants, so there must be no discomfort. I would like to rest and not forget to exercise at the same time.”

Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and said, “The matter has been investigated. Now that you are here, I will help you resolve this headless case.” Huiqi’s expression was as cold as a cold spring as he said, “Bring it up–”

Linglong didn’t know what had happened. Please, The white jade hairpin above her head was still shaking slightly. It was already clamorous outside. Linglong followed the sound and looked over. It was Eunuch Lu who had forked in a disheveled concubine. Linglong did not understand who the person was. Linglong took a step forward to help her up, but her footsteps could be stopped in front of the concubine.

The man raised his head slightly and greeted the two of them. Then, he looked at Huiqi in a daze, “Your Majesty, why did you bring this concubine here late at night?”

Huiqi’s face was as clear as a sculpture. His thick eyebrows were raised high as he stood up. “Bastard, you dare to show off your coincidence here. Are you looking at me, the blind man or the monk who blocked my way? Did you reject the harmful thing you sent me last time?”

Huiqi had a ferocious expression on his angular face. The evil eyebrows slightly shook. Linglong ignored Li Chongyuan and sat down on a sandalwood chair. Because she was close to Huiqi, she stretched out her hand and patted Huiqi’s wrist in relief. Her room had already begun to interrogate him. “I helped you last time. You forgot so quickly, that’s all.” Linglong sighed coldly, “But I didn’t expect you to harm me with someone else. This kind of thing isn’t something you can do. Are you really threatened by someone else or are you really harmful to my heart?”

“Humans don’t hurt tigers’ hearts, tigers hurt people’s feelings!” Hui Qi’s face was extremely hard to see. “Just admit it. It’s impossible to frame it now. I have already investigated it. Quickly say it.” The light in Hui Qi’s eyes was so bright that no one dared to underestimate it.

Li Chongyuan didn’t know anything at all. Linglong whispered to Qin’er, Hearing this, Qin’er handed the white jade hairpin over. Li Chongyuan held the hairpin and looked at it. Suddenly, he discovered the secret, His face couldn’t help but turn ashen. “Your Majesty, this concubine really doesn’t know that there are so many mysteries in this hairpin. This concubine is … yes …” Hui Qi couldn’t help but be anxious when he saw Li Chongyuan hesitate. He pulled out a Blue Sword from the wall to Li Chongyuan’s side and said, “You slut who doesn’t have three or four virtues, you can clearly work together with others to earn my prince’s life!” ‘”Your Majesty, I can see that she has something to say. I believe that she won’t hurt me. It may be a temporary mistake. Please spare me, Your Majesty.”

Linglong’s bright eyes were filled with emotion and helplessness, causing people to fall if they were not careful. Huiqi put away the sword and said, “You must not hesitate to speak nonsense. If it weren’t for Zhao Yi pleading for mercy, I would definitely have let you be torn into pieces.” Huiqi was furious, and his body was still trembling slightly. Linglong brought over a cup of calming tea and said, “Your Majesty has always been impatient. You mustn’t act too hastily on this matter. You can just sit on the sidelines and let your concubines interrogate you properly.”

Huiqi’s fingertips trembled and he lowered weakly, “Go interrogate this vicious woman. I’ll just watch.”

Seeing that Hui Qi had already calmed down, Linglong couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Tell me the truth, where did this hairpin come from? If there is anything that is not true, the Emperor and this palace will not let you go.”

Li Chongyuan slowly raised her head. “Ever since I gave birth to my concubine last time, “Your Majesty is not old enough to enter the Concubine Palace. Your Majesty has already found her elbow. I can’t do anything about it even if I go to the South Heaven Gate with a somersault cloud. Empress Zhao Yi naturally helped my concubine within five years. Others are fine with it. Empress Zhao Yi’s concubine who is pregnant naturally needs to give her a gift.” Li Chongyuan looked at the white jade hairpin in her hand. She gently shook it. A piece of white medicinal powder flowed out from the white jade hairpin, and she couldn’t help but feel fear.

“This hairpin was given to me by Empress Zhao Yuan when I met Lan Sou Yu in Shanglin Garden a few days ago. She also told me that this hairpin is of great use. If I wear it in the long run, not only will I be able to refresh my mind, it will also have the effect of prolonging my life. I have already seen that this hairpin is green jade from the South China Sea, but …”

“But … but this concubine really doesn’t know about this … There is such a poison in this hairpin,” Li Chongyuan said as she looked at Hui Qi and Linglong sadly. Linglong looked at Hui Qi noncommittally, and Hui Qi heaved a sigh of relief. “Sure enough, it’s not a lie? It’s not what you mean?”

Li Chongyuan’s red lips trembled slightly, “This concubine would rather die than Xie Zhaoyi. It was this concubine’s lard that stuffed my heart and almost killed her. This concubine died!” Li Chongyuan kowtowed repeatedly and Hui Qi’s expression changed as he looked at Linglong. “However, I beg the Emperor to believe what I said. Everything I said is true. If there is anything untrue, the Emperor can ask Lan Souyu. In this way, I will die in peace.”

Linglong’s lips curled into a smile, “What does the Emperor think?”

‘”Naturally, it’s only a temporary pause. Lan Sou Yu has always been domineering. At this time, Li Chongyuan is weak and there is no witness. I’m afraid it won’t be beneficial to you if this matter gets out. Why don’t you just sit back and watch the situation change and we’ll talk about it then?” Lan Sou Yu said. As Huiqi spoke, he pointed at Li Chongyuan and said, “It’s you. I will give you a good hand.”

“This concubine is willing to be punished for her sins.” Linglong looked at Li Chongyuan. Li Chongyuan was no longer afraid of death. In fact, if the concubine’s self-determination would not affect her family’s conviction, she would have already walked a path. Today, Huiqi did not look like she would let Li Chongyuan live. She was also a person who had lost her vitality long ago, so it was appropriate for her to do so.

Linglong turned her head to look at Huiqi. Her long and slightly curled eyelashes covered a dark shadow. “I beg the Emperor to forgive Sister Chongyuan. First, Sister Chongyuan did a bad thing with good intentions. Second, Sister Chongyuan knows her mistakes and can change them now. She doesn’t hide her selfishness …”

Huiqi looked into Linglong’s clear eyes and said, “You have a kind heart. How could you know that everyone treats you like this? Now that you ask for her help, I will let Li Chongyuan go and Li Chongyuan get up.”

Li Chongyuan looked at Linglong gratefully. Because he had knelt for a long time, his knees were a little sore, so he couldn’t stand up immediately. Linglong helped Li Chongyuan stand up and said, “There’s no need for you to live like an ant. You only have the right to speak when you’re alive in the future. I’m really grateful for you, but don’t marry someone else.”

Li Chongyuan nodded her head in understanding. “This concubine thanked the Empress for her kindness. In the future, she will naturally have more attention. If the Empress does not abandon her, this concubine would like to visit the Empress more often.”

Linglong’s petal-like smile was pink and tender. She said, “Naturally, you can’t see the outside world. You always come here. The sisters have to walk well before you don’t salute them. You have to understand that this palace is often unable to move because of the mundane affairs.”

“The Sovereign of Myriad Emperors naturally cannot act rashly. Even if this concubine has a hundred heads, she dares not act recklessly now. She will definitely take good care of her-”

The smile on Linglong’s pink lips deepened and she said, “That’s good.”

Huiqi coughed slightly. Only then did Linglong know that she was dictatorship. She quickly lowered her head. Huiqi earned money and looked at Linglong Jade Li Chongyuan, saying, “The heavens and earth know that you all know about this. You must not let the news out. I still need to investigate Lan Sou Yu.”

The two women nodded repeatedly. Hui Qi was in a much better mood and said, “Forget it, there are some things that I didn’t expect. Linglong, now that you don’t have anything else, don’t run around. Go to the study room and relieve yourself of your duties. You can only stay in Yunluan Palace.”

Linglong did not know why, but when she heard this, it was as if she had lost her consort’s position. She felt a little disappointed in her heart and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassionate care.”

Huiqi only smiled faintly and said, “I’m just following the time. You should rest properly. I still have something to complete, so I’m going.”

“This concubine respectfully bade farewell to the Emperor” Linglong and Li Chongyuan knelt down.

Huiqi arrived at the Heart Restoration Hall. There were many palaces and darkness. Inside the darkness, there was a figure standing upright like a green bamboo. His black clothes were almost integrated with the darkness. Huiqi asked, “Did you find out?”

“We’ve investigated.” Blood Drop said, “Your Majesty, please be at ease. The Dragon Taboo Commandant has already arrived at the Seven Kings’ mansion. Of the five gold medals, three are missing and two are still missing. One is in Imperial Concubine Mu’s father’s hands and the other is in Lan Zhenglin’s.”

‘”It’s very troublesome. You can be a gentleman, or steal or snatch it just for the sake of achieving your goal. Don’t let anyone know that you are acting for the sake of the gold medal. As long as I have a goal, I can also kill my closest relatives, let alone those who have already harbored evil intentions.”

Blood Droplet nodded heavily in the darkness before retreating.

At the same time, Hui Ye also inquired about the whereabouts of the gold medal in detail in his palace. He already held two gold medals in his hand, and the yellow light was a little extravagant in the candlelight. “There are five in total, but there are still three left. Do you know where the other three are?”

The purple-clothed man cupped his hands and said, “One was originally in the Treasure House of the Imperial Palace. The other two were in the hands of my father and the other was in the hands of Elder Blue Pavilion. At that time, the Seven Kings of my father would naturally need them. Now, there are two more that are impossible to obtain. They need to be schemed.”

“Understood, you should retreat.”

Xie Yunxiao walked down slowly, a sinister smile appearing on the corners of that person’s lips.
