The First Empress - Chapter 203
Chapter 203 So Stimulate
Linglong knew Huiqi’s methods. She knew that once such a thing really started, she would be the only one to win because she was one with Huiqi.
No one dared to brazenly fight against Huang Quan. Even Lan Sou Yu and Concubine Mude were red-skinned after much thought.
Linglong was grateful to Huiqi. She had been tired for several days and had actually fainted. Huiqi was shocked and asked Pei Minghai to come over and help Linglong lie on the bed.
After a while, even Ji Zhuhua was alarmed. Ji Zhuhua saw that Huiqi had already begun to deal with these matters. She had already understood that Linglong was indeed a virgin when she was in the palace. As for the messy remarks of others, they were obviously fabricated by Lan Sou Yu and Concubine Mude. For a time, the city was filled with storms. Sometimes, the best way to kill someone was to borrow a knife to kill someone. Ji Zhu Hua also understood these things clearly.
As soon as the other side attacked, On this side, Ji Zhuhua also began to suppress them. Not long after, someone was sent to the berserk room. This was because Commander Jiang had pleaded with Linglong about the gold medal last time. This time, seeing that these people were all slandering Linglong, they were naturally even more vicious. After coming out of the berserk room, their tongues were pulled out and they became mute.
After an unknown amount of time, Linglong opened her eyes slightly. Seeing Huiqi and Ji Zhuhua sitting one by one, she panicked. She hurriedly got up and saluted. Ji Zhuhua waved her hand and said, “Don’t move. Be careful of the child.” Linglong bowed a little, but she was still forcefully suppressed by Huiqi. She lay on the cloud couch. Huiqi said, “There are no more rumors now. It’s good that you’re asleep. I’m in a good mood to see you wake up.”
Ji Zhuhua said earnestly, “It’s all my fault that I didn’t take good care of you properly. I shouldn’t have sent that slave to the Berserk Room at this time. Please apologize, Your Majesty.”
‘”There’s no need to offend me. You just have to be careful in the future. This kind of thing is really your fault. You are the model of the harem. One person is above ten thousand people, but you don’t have to talk about your own matters. This is not good.” Huiqi’s thin lips twitched as Ji Zhuhua nodded his head and left embarrassedly.
“Rest well,” said Huiqi. “In the future, the Empress will be in charge of these matters.” As he spoke, he glared fiercely at the Empress.
Linglong slept peacefully this night, But things that no one expected started to brew again, I just quelled the rumors, There was another rumor, Some people said that Linglong had committed too many sins in her previous life, It’s the only time in my life that I’ve had nightmares so much that I’ve got vipers in bed, Linglong was also secretly shocked when she heard this. They were very good at tricks. Seeing that a plan couldn’t be promoted by another level, Linglong didn’t believe in karma. However, there were some things that she couldn’t explain clearly. Because there was time, Linglong was only tired of copying the Yin Zhi Wen of Emperor Wenchang in the inner hall. She raised her eyes and saw Huiqi walking over. Linglong hurriedly stood up.
“Don’t bow,” said Huiqi. “Just stand there and talk.” After two words, Huiqi suddenly asked, “Why did you copy this?”
‘”It is said that this concubine is sinful. This concubine is also half-believing and half-doubtful. Nothing is more than passing the light of day. I heard that copying Buddhist scriptures is both immeasurable and knowing, so I began to copy one or two scriptures.” At this point, Linglong deliberately slowed down her speech. Huiqi’s expression was not good. She said, “This must be the method of Concubine De and Lan Sou Yu again. It is a lie to say that there are too many copies of Buddhist scriptures. Concubine De has copied countless Buddhist scriptures, but she is still a vicious person.”
Seeing that the topic had already been brought to that point, Linglong said, “The Empress has already helped me suppress those people who talk nonsense. If you want to talk about sinfulness, I will be doubtful.” As she spoke, Linglong walked back to her seat. Just as she was about to copy, Huiqi took the paper away with a stretch of his hand. “Small letters aren’t bad, but you can’t waste them. There’s no need to copy any Yin Zhi characters. You can just copy Elaine’s Say.”
Linglong nodded and said, “This concubine understands.”
“To say that you are sinful, but I don’t know who is not sinful, you went out to distribute official silver twice to die to beg for life is not easy to come over, its heart can learn from the sun and moon, worthy of the ancestral imperial examination, worthy of the common people what sinful, it can be seen that others are behind the rumors slander. “You also went to Baohua Temple to pray for blessings. These things were done knowingly. Why didn’t anyone see your righteousness and sacrifice your life at that time? Yet, Qiao Zhang’s actions in this peaceful year made me really angry!”
Linglong heard that the Ancestor Emperor had taken an examination of Li Min’s life, Suddenly, he felt that the Emperor still remembered what he had done, so he almost shed tears. Huiqi stretched out his hand and hugged Linglong, saying, “It’s not that I don’t make decisions for you. You really can’t act rashly. Now that Lan Zhenglin is in the limelight, and Royal Teacher Mu is eyeing him covetously, the Imperial Court has to guard against internal and external troubles. We can’t lose big things because of small, do you understand?”
“This concubine understands. As long as the Emperor knows what this concubine is thinking, it’s good. Everyone else can say what they want to say. It doesn’t matter. This concubine will just treat it as the autumn breeze.” Linglong nodded and said, ‘”This concubine remembered the two words” Elaine said. “Zhongtong is not easy to deal with, but from afar Huiqi laughed loudly and said,” What are you saying? I see that you are untainted by mud. It is highly self-labeled. Just copy this properly. As for the rest, it’s fine. You can avoid it. You’re just lying. ”
Linglong nodded repeatedly.
After Huiqi left, Sure enough, Linglong started copying “Elaine Said” without smiling. When he first copied the book, “Out of the mud without staining”, Qin’er walked in. Linglong stared at Qin’er sideways. She didn’t know why she looked a little pale. “You know what happened. What made you lose your composure? It’s just a rumor. This time, I don’t know what they arranged for me. Tell me, are you kidding me?”
Qin’er didn’t have such an elegant mood. She said, “Your Highness, Concubine De just asked someone to let you have time to go to her place. She has prepared the Evening Temple to wait for Your Highness to come over. As for what she said and did, she doesn’t say. What exactly does Your Highness want to see?” Linglong put away the pen and washed her hands with water. Qin’er wiped Linglong’s hands. Linglong smiled and said, “There’s a new move so quickly. Do you want to go to this palace or not?”
“Logically speaking, it’s better not to go,” Qin’er added, “but Concubine De is a high-ranking person. If you don’t go, it will inevitably cause people to say that you have lost your dignity, so this servant feels that you still have to go. However, Concubine De is also very clear about this person. Sometimes, she has a bit of ruthless methods. If she does, wouldn’t she be worried?”
“Since you both know that you have to go, then naturally you have to go. You and Li Sheng will follow me and leave Xiao Zhuozi to serve outside the hall. If there is any problem, ask Xiao Zhuozi to go outside and recruit Commander Jiang.” After Linglong finished her arrangements, she said, “You should freshen up for me. Don’t put on heavy makeup.”
After a while, Linglong was already dressed up. The few of them walked towards Concubine De’s palace. Concubine De had already waited. She said that she had only prepared a vegetarian house. As expected, it was all vegetarian food. Seeing this, it was also gratifying. Concubine De smiled and invited Linglong to her seat. She said, “Today, I just asked Your Highness to come over and talk casually. Last time, I didn’t have a good talk with Your Highness.”
‘”How can Linglong not be reasonable?” Linglong glanced at Qin’er angrily. “It’s just that the little girl isn’t awake. She thought that this palace really had an awkward affair with Linglong. There’s nothing wrong with that.” As Linglong said this, she left her seat and said, “There’s no need for Ramadan. Your Highness likes to talk, so it’s better to have a good chat.”
Imperial Concubine De saw that Linglong wasn’t grateful, so she knew that Linglong still had some misgivings. She looked at Qin’er behind Linglong and said, “Your Highness must be careful with her diet. This Palace naturally understands this as well. These are silver needles. This Palace can help Your Highness give it a try.” As she spoke, she inserted the silver needle into each plate. In the end, she tried it in the wine. Sure enough, there was nothing unusual about it. Even the surroundings did not smell strange. Linglong was wondering. Imperial Concubine De had already started to eat. “Since Imperial Concubine is still worried, why can’t I eat Imperial Concubine one by one?”
Linglong’s thin lips smiled and her watery eyes looked at De Fei and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to eat it, I really can’t eat it.” As she spoke, she ordered some bamboo shoots. Qin’er quickly picked up the bamboo shoots with her silver chopsticks and placed them on the plate beside Linglong’s hand. Linglong took two silent bites before De Fei became happy.
However, the happy expression was replaced not long after, and he said, “Actually, before Zhenxi left, she liked to eat bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots were the son of the bamboo, the Lord of the Longevity Stage.” “However, this palace does not know whether Princess Zhenxi of this palace can or cannot live forever. This palace wants to let Zhenxi live in Chang’an for the rest of her life, but it just so happens that … Ah, things that don’t go according to expectations are often eight to nine. This is also the Buddhist theory of karma, right?”
“Karma?” Linglong frowned and placed the silver chopsticks on the plate. After a long time, Concubine De seemed to sigh and said, “The blessings of the previous life are the same as the blessings of the next life. If there is no blessings in the previous life, then there is such a step in life. It is impossible not to leave.”
Hearing this, Linglong blushed a little. She was still a little sad about what happened to Zhenxi. Zhenxi’s words before she left were still in her ears. “The Empress and Zhenxi will see each other again. At that time, it will definitely not be like today.”
When Linglong thought of this, she became restless. Concubine De seemed to be very satisfied, He sighed and said, The Buddhist school said that in her previous life, she had to constantly do good deeds. Only then would she be blessed in this life. If she had truly committed evil deeds in her previous life, her life would naturally be filled with misfortune, suffering all sorts of injuries and slander. So now, the Empress had to stand firmly on her feet. Don’t let these things cause the Empress to have a grudge. Imperial Concubine De sighed again. “This palace has thought about it. Zhenxi’s life is mine. The person who left has already left. We still need to work together. After all, it’s good to have three posts in the palace. I wonder if you, Your Highness …”
Linglong’s bright and clear eyes were a little obscure. “Your Highness must not speak nonsense. I believe that Zhen Xi will revive the phoenix. At that time, Your Highness will know that the so-called fate is in her hands. The Buddha said that there is no self and no form. It is probably at this time that you will reach the highest realm, not believe in fatalism before there is a disaster. I do not believe it.”
De Fei hurriedly said, “The Buddhist scriptures are like seven lotus flowers. If you do something bad, the lotus flowers will be damaged. Naturally, it’s not good to damage it. Zhenxi is indeed that kind of life, and I don’t care about her anymore. However, the Buddhist scriptures of the Empress also say that there will be many calamities in the future, so you should pay attention.”
Linglong smiled faintly, “I don’t understand what Concubine De is saying today.”
