The First Empress - Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Fear And Dream

Sophora green low window dark, pomegranate red light bright eyes, exquisite after extinguishing the light went to sleep. At night, she didn’t know what was going on, but Linglong felt bored. She tossed and turned and found it hard to fall asleep. She couldn’t help but feel a little melancholy. A bright moon in the Heavenly Heart sprinkled the light on the clouds, and it also sprinkled the light on the Cloud Phoenix Palace. Linglong looked at the cloud couch and suddenly felt chilly.

Was it already this cold in July or August?

Linglong suddenly saw a living creature wriggling on the quilt. Because it was dark, Linglong could not see it clearly, but she instinctively lifted the quilt and stood up. Qin’er naturally walked in and lit the candle. Just as the two were about to speak, Qin’er suddenly saw a silver snake wriggling on the quilt.

Fortunately, Linglong did not see it clearly. Qin’er hurriedly helped Linglong outside. She had already found two quick-witted Royal servant to catch the snake in the inner hall. Only then did Qin’er say, “Your Highness, I caught a silver-ringed snake in the bedroom hall.”

Linglong’s voice was fierce, “Snake?”

Qin’er nodded and kowtowed, “It’s this servant’s fault. This servant did not check when she got into the quilt. This servant’s eyes are clumsy. The Empress wants to punish her only after the birth of the baby. This servant does not dare to suffer any injuries now. These servants who slept last night actually slept like dead people.”

Linglong said softly, “It’s just a poisonous snake. Just place a water tank outside the wall. Don’t panic.”

Perhaps no one expected Hui Qi to come at this time. Everyone looked at Hui Qi with complicated expressions. Xiao Zhuozi knelt down and hid the poisonous snake in his sleeve. Coincidentally, the poisonous snake was uneasy at this time and twisted its tail. Hui Qi saw something strange and said, “What are you doing here without sleeping for most of the night?”

“Your Majesty, it’s just that there’s something unclean in the bedroom hall. Someone has come to capture it.” Linglong’s expression was gentle, as if the poisonous snake didn’t exist just now. However, her voice was still as hoarse and trembling as expected. Huiqi had already seen the snake tail in Xiao Zhuozi’s sleeve and asked, “What is it in his hand?”

Xiao Zhuozi did not dare to bully the Sovereign. He hurriedly said, “Huiqi heard the whole story and said,” The trees of the Qixia Palace were originally gloomy, and there were more snakes, insects, rats, and ants. You slaves who only care about sleeping can’t understand the hatred in my heart even if you beat them randomly. ” When Linglong heard this, she couldn’t help but be anxious and said, “Don’t blame them. This poisonous snake only came from this concubine. This concubine needs to think about it slowly. The Emperor can’t be angry, let alone vent his anger. They are all very cautious, for fear of losing, but …”

“But what?” Hui Qi was a little angry. He looked at this slave and said, “Why don’t you quickly thank your master, Your Highness? You should remember your head and not make any mistakes in the future. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished for both crimes. Do you understand?”

A few servants hurriedly arrived at the outer hall. Eunuch Lu said, “Are they all legless crabs? Are they going to be lazy outside? Quickly put the water tank outside the hall and put it more. If you are not careful, be careful and lose your head.” Eunuch Lu arranged for people to go outside while pointing fingers.

Linglong was worried. She looked at Huiqi and said, “What does the Emperor think is the reason?”

Hui Qi went to the courtyard outside to take a look. Under the moonlight, there were a few large rats hiding in the potted plants. Seeing someone coming, he blinked his bean eyes and fled. Hui Qi smiled for a long time and said, “Probably it was this Begonia tree that attracted the rats, and the rats attracted the poisonous snakes. It was here for a reason.”

Linglong hurriedly looked at the thousand low-branched crabapple flowers. Although the flowers were blooming, they were already at the end of the flowering period and would probably soon lose. After looking at them, she called Qin’er over and said, “Who sent these crabapple trees from the Western Palace? Why are they blooming at this time?”

Something abnormal must have a demon–

Begonia has long since run out of flowers this season, Only a few sporadic fruits were normal, However, the blooming period was still in full bloom, Qin’er thought for a moment and said, “These were sent by Concubine De a few days ago. It was because of Hua’er that I ordered people to put them in the courtyard. It was originally some small potted plants. It was my fault. It was my servant. In fact, Qin’er was afraid that there was something wrong with the soil.” Begonia trees were already blooming when they were sent over. Now, they were even more flourishing. That was why she felt that it was a little strange. She was afraid that Concubine De would tamper with the soil, so she placed them in the courtyard.

Hui Qi listened quietly. He sighed for a long time and said, “Concubine De is also old and foolish. It can be seen that she has ill intentions to give such a tricky thing to someone with rare antiques!”

Linglong did not defend Concubine De. She did not feel that she owed Concubine De anything right now. She had already paid back what she owed, so she did not owe Concubine De anything.

“Fortunately, you left the potted flowers outside. Otherwise, I would have been bitten to death by a poisonous snake. In the future, none of these things will be allowed to enter the inner hall.” Linglong looked at Qin’er, and Qin’er nodded repeatedly.

Huiqi looked around the crowd. After arranging some things, she and Linglong entered the inner hall. Qin’er had already changed the blanket. Linglong looked at the window lattice and still didn’t dare to sleep. Huiqi lit a Benzoin, which enveloped Linglong’s thoughts. Only then did they fall asleep. Who knew that Linglong had a nightmare in the middle of the night and cried out loudly.

Huiqi hugged Linglong and comforted, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Linglong dreamed of the poisonous snake, of the people who had died in the palace before, and for some reason, she dreamed of the immature boy, Imperial Concubine He Shu and Li Chongyuan. “This concubine frightened the Holy Jia, this concubine is terrified.” Linglong’s shoulders trembled violently as she waved her hands.

“Lan Sou Yu, have you been here?” Hui Qi didn’t know why he asked this, but Linglong hugged Hui Qi tightly and shook her head.

Huiqi stroked Linglong’s forehead and felt that sweat was still flowing slowly. He wiped Linglong with a brocade handkerchief and sighed slightly, “Who else has been here these past few days? Has someone poisoned her diet? There is a poison in Fusang Island that can disrupt people’s minds-”

Linglong felt that her mind was not messed up. She shook her head and said, “Everything was done by the personal maidservant beside this concubine. No one would be able to take advantage of it. It was probably caused by the fear of the poisonous snake.”

Huiqi nodded and said, “That’s good. Go to sleep.”

Not long after she fell asleep, Linglong cried out again. Huiqi didn’t even fall asleep. Linglong’s eyes were a little strange in the darkness. Looking at Huiqi, Huiqi was even more certain that Linglong had been struck by an illusion. She reached out and pinched heavily under Linglong’s fingernails. Only then did Linglong wake up a lot.

‘”There are many vengeful souls in the harem. Probably because of the illusion of Fusang Island. Don’t worry, I will have the people from the Imperial Heavenly Church come over tomorrow to show you. I guarantee that the medicine will be cured. Just sleep well tonight,” Huiqi asked. “What exactly did you dream of?”

Linglong trembled. This is rare, Linglong did not expose her pitiful appearance to anyone. But this time, she could not disguise herself. The primitive fear made her want to protect the fetus well. Her hands caressed her lower abdomen tightly. Huiqi reached out to look for Linglong’s hand, but accidentally touched Linglong’s stomach. Linglong was shocked. “Snake, there’s a poisonous snake. Someone,” she said.

Huiqi stood up in her clothes. Linglong took a look and realized that she had always been the one to scare herself. There was no poisonous snake at all.

Just like this, the two of them either lay down or slept, or looked at the stars. It was already dawn in the east. The rooster crow, and Huiqi stood up. Eunuch Lu hurriedly greeted them. Huiqi said, “Let the Imperial Chancellor come over and take a look.”

Linglong hurriedly cleaned herself up with Qin’er’s help. However, the thick black circles of her eyes could not be covered with rouge. Her eyes were also red as if they were made of madder grass. After a while, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor had already arrived. Mu Qianzhi also followed her into Yunluan Palace. Because the monarch and his subjects had other reasons, they just watched from afar.

The Imperial Chancellor looked at it for a while and said, “The south belongs to trees, and the empress’ bed is in the south, while the north belongs to gold, and Jinkemu.” “The empress has many strange dreams at night. This …” The Imperial Heaven Monitor didn’t know whether to say it or not. After pondering for a while, he said, “Perhaps it’s because of the dreams that I have every day and night. Sometimes, dreams are illogical. You can just sleep peacefully. Don’t think nonsense. The demonic outsiders naturally won’t fall into dreams easily.”

Imperial Concubine De didn’t expect that Imperial Concubine De would also come. Imperial Concubine De held a Diamond Sutra in her hand and saw that Hui Qi was also here. After saluting, she sent over the Diamond Sutra in Sanskrit and said, “I heard that you had nightmares. This Diamond Sutra was handed down from Tibet. I don’t dare to hide anything. I give it to you.” Read it every day and put it under your pillow at night to avoid being attacked by demons. ”

Linglong did not dare to receive the Diamond Sutra. Concubine De is a Buddhist cultivator, It seemed that there was some truth in what he said, However, it seemed to be a bit far-fetched. It was clear that the snake was lured over by the mouse. Linglong did not make a sound. Qin’er hurriedly caught the Diamond Sutra. De Fei smiled coldly and released her hand. She did not expect that there would be a large area on the inner page. Because it was Sanskrit, Linglong could not understand it, but these Sanskrit characters were like some long, short, winding poisonous snakes.

“What are you looking at?” Concubine De helped pass over the Diamond Sutra. “This is the second grade of the supreme Prajna Sutra. Does the Sanskrit look like snakes to Your Highness? Actually, I also feel like–”

Linglong suddenly heard the word “snake” and felt a lingering fear in her heart. However, she still tightly clutched onto this volume of the Diamond Sutra. She wanted to see what Concubine De was going to do. It was just a knock on the mountain to shake the tiger. She did not know that she would be defeated so quickly. Huiqi came over to help sort out the missing scriptures and suddenly paused for a moment before asking, “What exactly is going on with this?”

When the Imperial Chancellor saw that he was asking him, he hurriedly said, “It would be best to move.”

Linglong suddenly felt that the Imperial Heavenly Monitor had been bribed. She said coldly, “Zi Buyu blamed the power of the Chaos God. Although I am a woman, I have probably read two volumes of the Analects of Confucius. I am not ashamed of being afraid of these demonic outsiders. I do not care about Jin Kemu or anything else.” Immortal Qin retreated embarrassedly. Huiqi comforted Linglong earnestly. Linglong said indifferently, “Has the Emperor ever thought that if this continues, there will still be people who will take advantage of the situation? It’s just a small matter. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of myself.”

Huiqi nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, you can handle these matters yourself. I will come back tonight.”

As he spoke, Huiqi had already left.

Imperial Concubine De did not leave. Seeing that everyone was busy, Imperial Concubine De did not know what she had said in Linglong’s ear. Linglong’s expression changed greatly. After saying that, Imperial Concubine De had already pulled away and left.

Linglong stayed where she was, like thunder. Mu Qianzhi came over and said, “Your Highness, please rest. Today, this lowly official will help Your Highness escape this calamity.”

Linglong nodded and went with Mu Qianzhi to the outside of the hall. The inside was in a state of chaos. Qin’er did not dare to neglect it. As Linglong also went outside, the grey fragrance melted into the everday sky. The vines on the grape shelves were beautiful, and the leaves were full of shade.

Linglong walked to the front. The Western Palace Begonia in the small flower pots still hadn’t been defeated. Linglong was puzzled. She looked at the pots one after another and suddenly saw a hole in the back. A poisonous snake actually crawled out of the hole. When Linglong saw a snake, she was naturally frightened.

Mu Qianzhi walked over in three or two steps. He raised his sword and wanted to split the poisonous snake into two. Linglong quickly stopped him.

“Slow–”

“Your Highness,” Mu Qianzhi turned his head and said, “you must not let go of the poisonous snake. You must raise the tiger to survive.”

Linglong stretched out her hand. Mu Qianzhi handed over the treasured sword in his hand. Linglong saw that the poisonous snake hadn’t crawled away yet. She couldn’t help but take two cold steps. Qin’er prepared to come over to support Linglong. She didn’t expect Linglong’s eyes to be very resolute. Even the hand holding the sword was so sure. “Lord Mu said that he would come here today to help me out of this mess. I won’t have to help you.” As he spoke, he already sliced off the poisonous snake with his sword.

Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. She took two steps back, but her eyes were still looking at the limbs that were wriggling on the ground …
