The First Empress - Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Rumors Stop at the Wise
“That’s just a bad fate. Little Taohong is telling the truth. The so-called inner divine ability and outer ghost, isn’t it? If there were more good things to do in normal days, it might be good. I heard that Concubine Heshu’s death was also caused by this Bu Zhaoyi.” The palace maid was even more bitter. After saying those two words, she heard a Royal servant say, “Don’t you know that I also served Empress Zhao Yi when I was in the hidden mansion? At that time, people began to say that her body was not clean. Such a woman would not let go of even the first imperial concubine. She was merely chasing after her soul for her life.”

“Pursue your soul for your life?” The woman who spoke sneered, “Little laurel can speak, she is used to being funny.”

“Perhaps the Emperor is also feeling bad inside. Last time, I saw this Empress and Mu Qianzhi together. Speaking of which, she went outside the palace to distribute official silver two or three times. Who doesn’t know? She’s just going out for a date, but the men in the palace are useless. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone outside.” After he finished speaking, he started to chuckle. Royal servant felt embarrassed and changed the topic in a few seconds.

Although she had only spoken a few words and had already outlined the image of a slut, Linglong did not expect that she would be described as such by someone behind her. She felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, but she knew that she definitely could not feel uncomfortable. These rumors were all spread by Lan Sou Yu and Concubine De. Such a method was actually the best.

To kill a man, Sometimes thousands of people die of illness, It’s that simple, Moreover, in the palace, Zhen Ri Wu Xin Zhen Ri Xian, She was not afraid that nothing would happen. As long as there was a slight matter, it would be spread like wildfire. Her grade had always been low. According to what they had said privately, if Linglong did not have a bit of talent to help the world, she would probably not have been reused, let alone possessed a dragon descendant.

Qin’er was furious and said, “Does Your Highness still have the patience? You must know that if these people are not eliminated, the rumors will not end for a day. Why don’t you let this servant send this woman to the berserk room and have Commander Jiang pull out her tongue one by one?” This was even more so in Linglong’s heart. It could be said that she hated him deeply. Those dirty words just now reminded her that she must not take them to heart. Once she took them seriously, she would be fooled.

However, a few words were like a magic curse, making Linglong unable to forget them.

She smiled quietly and charmingly. She raised her head and looked at Qin’er and said, “This isn’t the first time you’ve heard it, right? Why didn’t you say it earlier?” Qin’er stuttered, “This servant … This servant …”

“I know that you didn’t reveal a single word for Ben Gong’s sake, but your eyes betrayed you. You should have heard these cliches. The reason why Ben Gong didn’t do anything to these people is to see how long these rumors have been spread and how many people have already known about them.” Qin’er also knew Linglong’s temperament, so she was not completely confident that Linglong would not make a move.

Seeing that Qin’er was still furious, Linglong sighed and said, “Come over and support me.”

Qin’er supported Linglong. At this time, Linglong suddenly said, “Do you see the flowers in front of you?”

Deep in the courtyard, there were pieces of flowering crabapple flowers. Qin’er naturally saw them. Linglong said, “It will always be beautiful if you don’t make a move on such a good flower. If you gently touch it with your hand-” As Linglong said, she gently reached out. As expected, a large piece of flowers had already fallen. Linglong said, “Then all of them will fall.” “This palace does not deal with these people. There is a reason for this palace. Have you ever thought about the consequences if this palace killed these people just now?”

Qin’er suddenly became a little anxious and said, “Then people might say that the Empress is trying to silence her. This way, it would be a lie.”

‘”There will be people stirring up trouble. The Sage once said that rumors stop at the wise. This palace will be a wise man this time. If this palace doesn’t return the favor, this palace would like to see who else treats these rumors as a matter. This palace’s body is clean and the Emperor understands it clearly. This palace doesn’t want to say too much.” Linglong smiled.

Qin’er suddenly felt even more admiration for Linglong. It was actually the best choice to wait and see what happened. If she had been captured just now, wouldn’t she have been silenced to cover up those so-called evil deeds? If that was the case, wouldn’t it have fallen into the hands of others?

However, he did not expect that the rumor was really 800 miles more urgent. “I went to the Shanggong Bureau to get the Empress’ sachet today, but many servants were chatting there. Fortunately, they weren’t sent to the berserk room by me one by one. How irritating. Aren’t these people afraid of going to hell if they say something without any background?” Said Xiao Zhuozi angrily.

Qin’er was also furious. “What do these people know? It would be better to kill them early. Xiao Zhuozi, remember their names. We’ll deal with them slowly.”

Xiao Zhuozi nodded and said, “I’ve already remembered.”

Just as the two of them were talking, Linglong walked out of the inner hall and stood in front of them with elegant demeanor. “Do you believe this palace or outsiders?” She said.

“Naturally, I believe the Empress. These rumors were only created by Lan Sou Yu and De Fei. Although the servants are blind, they can still see through such a small trick.” Xiao Zhuozi said. After listening, Linglong was in a good mood. She said, “If you hear it, pretend you didn’t hear it. Do you understand? They want us to go berserk. We have to treat them calmly. Do you understand the meaning of this palace? Killing people doesn’t take place in an hour and a half?”

Qin’er nodded and said, “Of course I know. Your Highness is a smart person, and this servant can also learn from Your Highness.”

Ji Zhu Hua was talking when the Empress of the carriage actually came. Linglong had no way of saluting because she was pregnant. Ji Zhu Hua smiled comprehensively and followed Linglong into the inner hall.

Little Rain’s slender breeze was thin and thin, within the Wan Clan’s willow and green smoke.

Ji Zhuhua’s expression darkened the moment he walked into the inner hall. “You already know?” He said.

Linglong nodded calmly. “Naturally, I know. Even you, Your Highness, were alarmed. It can be seen that everything has been taken care of long ago, so this concubine feels that they should stop.”

Ji Zhuhua’s thin lips twitched, “How can I see it?”

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Linglong’s exquisite and beautiful features. “It’s like treating a wooden man,” she said with a self-deprecating smile. “Gradually, I’m no longer interested.”

“Why don’t you explain?” Ji Zhuhua was a little anxious. Linglong only smiled faintly and said, “Explain? Your Highness thinks that how to deal with such a matter is the best way. Is it to explain or not to say a word?” Linglong’s eyes shone like black crystals as she stared at Ji Zhuhua.

Ji Zhuhua lowered his eyelashes. “that rumor stop at the wise, “If this palace encounters such a thing, it will naturally not say a word. The truth is the truth, and it is impossible to twist it forcefully. Let the Emperor listen carefully to these words. The Emperor probably does not have time to listen to these dirty words. Rumors are naturally spread. It is not difficult for this person to know. What do you think?”

When Linglong received Ji Zhuhua’s hint, she also had a plan in her heart. She nodded and said, “This concubine knows. Thank you, Your Highness. This concubine will definitely let the Emperor know how the people in the harem slander this concubine.”

“It’s good that you know-” Ji Zhuhua reached out and grabbed Linglong’s wrist. “This palace will always stand on your side. It’s good that you don’t disappoint this palace. Otherwise, this palace will handle things impartially and will never hide anything.”

Ji Zhuhua’s words were both carrot and stick. Linglong had always known that Ji Zhuhua was an auspicious person, but she didn’t expect that Ji Zhuhua would be ready to part ways so quickly. Linglong couldn’t help but feel bitter in her heart, but she still smiled slightly and said, “Your concubine will definitely not disappoint you, Your Highness.”

Linglong knew that she would not hit him when he fell. She wanted to keep herself to fight with Concubine De and Lan Sou Yu, so she would definitely protect herself for the time being.

Ji Zhuhua’s efficiency was quite fast. In just a few hours, Huiqi had already arrived at Cloud Phoenix Hall. Huiqi thought that Linglong’s side was already making a fuss, but he didn’t expect that Linglong’s side was as if nothing had happened. What should be done or what should be done? Even Xiao Zhuozi still wore that smile.

Huiqi stepped into the inner hall and said, “Zhao Yi, didn’t you sleep peacefully?”

“This concubine greets the Emperor.” Linglong hurriedly came out. Her heart was much more at ease now. It seemed that Ji Zhuhua had already told Huiqi what to say. She was just playing another role. “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”

Huiqi looked at Linglong. He thought that Linglong would cry and shed tears when she saw him. He was even afraid that he would not explain it clearly and would snatch the floor with his head. However, he didn’t expect Linglong to be completely ignorant of the rumors and messages outside.

His eyes were as clear as crystal. He looked at Huiqi from the corner of his eyes. Huiqi asked, “You can just treat those words as the autumn wind passing by your ears. Don’t pursue them or get angry. I will uphold justice for you.”

Only then did Linglong break into a smile and said, “The Emperor is talking about Royal servant and the palace maid saying that the concubines are dirty?”

The wind in Huiqi’s eyes slightly rose as he nodded and said, “I know these things. When you were in the hidden residence …”

Linglong’s pure pupils looked at Huiqi. Huiqi said, “You know that rumors stop at the wise. You can’t marry them. Sometimes they want to hurt you from the other side if they can’t hurt you. They want to completely shatter your body. Sometimes they really want you to die without any illness. I know what you want to say. You don’t have to say it. I already know it.”

Linglong nodded, but she only felt her blood surge. She forced a smile and said, “As long as the emperor trusts me, the emperor knows the inside story. As for the others, I disdain to explain it. It’s just that I’m Yiyi Qi. The more unhappy I am, the happier I will be, isn’t it?” “Since that’s the case, why would this concubine bother to let others be happy and let her die?”

Huiqi clapped his hands and said, “Alright, alright, I will make the decision for you.” Huiqi suddenly became indifferent and said, “Has it been dealt with?”

Eunuch Lu waved his fly and said, “It’s all dealt with. For the sake of cleanliness here, those who have said these words will not speak in the future.”

“Commander Jiang knows how to do things. It’s an art of the Ministry of Justice to be able to live after sticking out his tongue.” Huiqi’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at Linglong and said, “There won’t be anyone spouting nonsense now. You can rest assured.”
