The First Empress - Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Unexpectedly

After Linglong could restrain herself, she could only embroider flowers of all colors under the sunlight. There were clumps of Golden Claw Chrysanthemums and clusters of tuberose jades. However, Linglong felt more and more bored. She couldn’t even get a person to relieve her boredom. Linglong tried several times to get Huiqi to agree to take a walk outside, but every time, Huiqi’s expression was not good. With this, Linglong completely stopped the wandering.

As the clouds rushed in, Mu Yufei and Linglong felt as if they were canaries in a cage, unable to fly out.

It was truly the high Tang of the Wu Gorge, Zhu Cui of the Suo Chu

Once upon a time, this place was also filled with red cheeks and drunken dancers. But now, everything was so dull that she didn’t have the slightest bit of intelligence. She had to tell Huiqi where she wanted to go in advance, and Huiqi would convey it layer upon layer so that she could eat whatever she wanted. This made Linglong feel that it was inconceivable. Although Linglong knew that she was different from others, she didn’t expect that she would be so different. Whether it was luck or misfortune, Linglong herself was in between. However, Linglong understood that this was the best way to protect herself. Other than this, there was no better way.

Du Yu’s voice rushed to dawn. Linglong looked at the lotus pond and fell asleep.

In the past few days, even her makeup was not tidied up. It was also easy to not wear makeup. Even the bun on her head was casually coiled. A white magnolia flower was pinned on it, giving people a sense of serenity.

Today was a good day. It was raining. The rain made Yunluan Palace feel miserable. The pomegranate blossoms were blooming in the clouds, giving off a sweet fragrance. Linglong was also looking at the scenery in the clouds. Qin’er helped Linglong hold the umbrella and the two of them stood in the atrium.

At this moment, Linglong looked especially steep and beautiful, as if she was the incarnation of a goddess.

In such a confused and somewhat distant courtyard, a voice suddenly sounded. Linglong hurriedly tidied herself up and went to meet the driver. It was Empress Ji Zhuhua who arrived. Ji Zhuhua calmly walked in from the rain.

Linglong was already six months pregnant, so she naturally couldn’t salute. Linglong was very nervous. Ji Zhuhua looked at Linglong and said, “I have always wronged you. This is what the inner court of the Deep Palace looks like. Those who are unfit to survive will be eliminated. This is also what the Emperor wants, and this is also what I want.”

As Linglong invited Ji Zhuhua inside, she smiled and said, “What grievances have you ever felt? It’s just that it’s a little boring after a long time.”

Today’s rain and Linglong’s all sorts of disappointment were actually very harmonious, Ji Zhuhua smiled and said, “This palace naturally knows that you’re bored, so I brought you something to relieve your boredom. This is a Kongming lock, and this is an Eighty-seven Divine Immortal Scroll. It’s said that you like danqing,” Ji Zhuhua said as he handed over a Kongming lock. Linglong took it and saw that it was indeed an ingenious lock. Ordinary people might not be able to unlock it even if they racked their brains, but when Linglong was seven years old, she had already unlocked all forms of the bore-clear lock. Naturally, she would not be unable to unlock it.

The clouds were thick, It was as if Ji Zhuhua’s voice was also strong. In the drizzling rain, there was a faint daylight. The dim sunlight made people feel even more sad and humid. Linglong took the ’87 Divine Immortal Scroll’, which was personally drawn by Wu Daozi. It could be copied for two or three days. Ji Zhuhua asked Pei Lan to take out a set of black and white jade chess pieces and kowtow to Linglong.

“I can play around for a few days now. It won’t be boring,” Ji Zhuhua said. “I will find some people to help you out in a few days. I won’t be able to do it today.” How could Linglong dare to make such a mistake? She was just a small fifth-grade Zhao Yi. He De, how could he let Li Yue come over and play for her? It was not good to spread this out, but the Empress could not disobey Linglong and could only obediently nod her head.

“Thank you, Empress.” Linglong said timidly. Ji Zhu Hua lowered his eyes to look at Linglong’s abdomen. He didn’t know if his eyes were filled with more envy or affection. However, whether it was affection or envy, Linglong felt that it was very good. At least, the centralized leaders in the palace wouldn’t inadvertently attack him. This way, he would be able to protect his baby.

After Linglong expressed her gratitude, she sent Ji Zhuhua to the Yimen. Ji Zhuhua looked at the drizzling rain in the sky and said, “Sister Zhaoyi, just stop. This palace will leave on its own. Sister Zhaoyi, just take care of your health at home and don’t make any mistakes.”

Linglong understood what Ji Zhuhua meant and waved goodbye to Ji Zhuhua. However, at this moment, a woman suddenly walked over. Behind her were two followers. One was a maidservant dressed in bright yellow clothes, while the other was dressed in black clothes. Linglong felt a strange feeling, but she did not realize where she came from.

Ji Zhuhua, on the other hand, hadn’t left yet. Linglong walked roughly two steps to Ji Zhuhua’s side. The three of them walked over. He paused for a moment. When Linglong looked again, it was Li Chongyuan who walked over. A few days had passed since Li Chongyuan appeared to be a little plump. There was even a little beauty and speed in her free and easy manner that she did not look like before. Even walking was a whistling wind. Linglong couldn’t help but glance at Li Chongyuan’s skirt. Under the crimson skirt was a pair of black satin shoes. Linglong looked at Li Chongyuan carefully, and the more she looked, the more frightened she felt.

However, Li Chongyuan stood in front of the two of them. The two maids behind him had already begun to salute. Li Chongyuan timidly said, “This concubine greets the Empress, and I greet Empress Zhao Yi.”

The Empress hadn’t seen her since she last saw her. It had been a year and a half since she was in a trance. Now that she saw Li Chongyuan, she couldn’t help but remember her name. However, she glanced at the two maids behind Li Chongyuan and asked coldly, “Are you paradoxical? Are there any maids dressed in black and bright yellow?” Ji Zhuhua pointed at the woman in front of him and said, “These are the colors that only the Son of Heaven can wear. Dali Dynasty has yet to have such an arrogant and presumptuous person. You can send the two girls to the Berserk Room and then go to the Emperor to greet them yourself.”

Linglong didn’t know why, However, she felt that something was wrong with Li Chongyuan in front of her. Since she was pregnant, Linglong had been more meticulous and suspicious. Therefore, she stared at Li Chongyuan in front of her. Li Chongyuan actually raised her head and looked at Linglong with a calm expression. Linglong tried her best to calm her eyes and asked, “Is that alright with you?” Come over today? ”

Li Chongyuan smiled faintly. “Nothing much. It’s just a mundane affair. I came here today to see the Empress.”

Linglong also felt that she had been separated by quite a bit. These two words made Linglong feel uncomfortable. She used to call herself “sister”.

Linglong remembered that day when she first met in the forest, this woman was like a lonely and proud plum blossom blooming on a chilly branch. She looked like she was bullying snow and frost. Now, she seemed to have changed a lot. Not only was her body much taller, but even her voice had become a little rough.

Linglong shook her head at the Empress. She was more and more confused about Li Chongyuan now. Even if you saved her in this palace, she would harm you in return. There were really countless of them. When Linglong remembered the white jade hairpin Li Chongyuan had given her, she couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear. However, it was hard to explain it in front of Ji Zhuhua and Li Chongyuan. She could only be vague.

Ji Zhuhua clearly saw Linglong’s plea, so he slowed down his voice and said, “Go back. Everyone here is avoiding suspicions. Now that you’re here, do you remember what I said just now?” Ji Zhuhua couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy when he saw that she didn’t carry out her orders at all. At this moment, Li Chongyuan waved her hand. Behind her, a guard had already come over to take the two palace maids away without saying a word.

Linglong looked at Li Chongyuan in front of her again. Li Chongyuan was also looking at Linglong. Linglong didn’t know why she seemed to see a dense killing intent in her beautiful eyes. She had seen this kind of expression before, The last time the official silver was issued, That little girl’s gaze was like this. Unless there was enmity between generations, there wouldn’t be such a vicious gaze. Linglong couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear in her heart. Ji Zhu Hua also sensed Li Chongyuan’s strange expression and said, “Go back. If you need the Emperor’s order in Yunluan Palace, just ask for it.”

Li Chongyuan was obviously unwilling to give up. She looked at Linglong and asked, “Your Highness, do you really not want me to go in because of my past love? It’s just a conversation. I have no other intentions.” Linglong wanted to say something else. Ji Zhuhua had already brought Linglong’s hand into the ritual hall. At this time, Ji Zhuhua clapped his hands. Linglong didn’t know why, but she was a little stunned. When the two of them stood in the gates, Li Chongyuan suddenly walked over and said, “Your Highness, can you take a look at my fingers?”

Before Linglong could say no, His hands were already stretched out. There seemed to be something wrong, but Linglong did not notice that the bottom of her wrists were turning over. The sharp armor on her hands had already pierced over. However, for some reason, she suddenly closed her hands slightly and handed over a fan pendant in her hand. “Lady Zhaoyi, please play with this. This is a concubine who respects Lady Zhaoyi.”

Linglong hurriedly caught it.

Li Chongyuan hurriedly said goodbye. When she arrived, she still staggered. When she returned, Linglong only felt that her footsteps were very vigorous. Ji Zhuhua clapped his hands again. Then, he heard the sound of the wind in the tree. Linglong asked, “Does Your Highness feel anything unusual?”

“The woman in the capital doesn’t have big feet, and she just tried to kill us.” Ji Zhuhua’s indifference caused Linglong to be respectful. Actually, Linglong also knew what she was going to do just now, but she didn’t know why she stopped. Those two hands could clearly harm the fetus in her abdomen by sending a little forward. However, there was still a little distance left before she let go of her hand and changed into a fan pendant.

Linglong also discovered that she was really scared now and asked, “Then what exactly should we do?”

“Don’t worry, no one will come in without the Emperor’s orders. Other than this palace and Chen Chongyi, it is impossible for the others to come in. The Emperor will not agree. It can be seen that the Emperor is very affectionate towards us. This palace will come here from time to time. Take care and don’t come out if nothing happens.”

Linglong listened to Ji Zhuhua’s instructions and nodded repeatedly. She did not expect that she would be almost killed by an assassin.
