The First Empress - Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Biographies Of Assassins

In order to welcome them at any time, Linglong dressed elegantly and did her best not to look simple. After all, there were more and more beautiful women in the palace now. After getting pregnant, Linglong’s face was covered in freckles. Naturally, she needed to take good care of it.

Spring Breeze of Beiyuan, Fang Gui said, Linglong only stood in front of the embroidered flower shelf and embroidered her own peony and tuberose every day. And Huiqi came here once in a long time. It was as if the blood droplet was really powerful. Linglong didn’t feel anything abnormal in her hall at all. It was completely the same as before. There wasn’t a trace of the blood droplet. She couldn’t even find anyone.

Linglong believed that Huiqi had already arranged it for her, so she didn’t seem to care about it.

Recently, Huiqi had been very busy. Naturally, they rarely came to Yunluan Palace, Linglong’s plan to look forward to the stars and the moon was frustrated every day, Linglong could only comfort herself, On this day, Linglong changed another piece of silk on the embroidered flower shelf. He began to prepare to embroider the Eighty-Seven Immortal Scrolls, Just now, she accidentally pierced her finger. The sunlight outside was also hot. Qin’er saw that Linglong had pierced her finger. She hurriedly came over to help Linglong breathe and brought the lotus seed soup over. Linglong drank and said, “It’s been a long time since the Emperor came. This place looks even more lonely.”

Qin’er had originally suggested that Linglong play chess with her, but yesterday, she and Linglong had actually won nine out of ten chess matches. It was obviously meaningless to continue like this. She couldn’t help but smile and said, “Your Highness is also getting irritated now. It can be seen that when a person is pregnant, it is different. It is the temperament of two people.”

“Ah, you’re begging for a beating.” Linglong couldn’t help but smile. Qin’er didn’t dodge. She walked over and held Linglong’s hand, saying, “As long as the Empress is happy in her heart, she will beg for a beating. This servant will also accept it.”

Linglong could only stretch out her hand to stroke Qin’er’s face and ask, “What are we playing with today?” Qin’er had already thought about it and said, “Does the Empress like fishing? Let’s go fishing in the water corridor behind us. The water corridor servant was already prepared yesterday. As long as you sit inside, water will fall from the sky. It’s cool and safe.”

Linglong nodded and said, “Go get the fishing rod.”

Qin’er said, “This is all here. Let’s go.”

At this moment, Linglong suddenly stood up. He only felt a faint odor coming from his nose. However, this kind of spice seemed to smell very good. Linglong followed the fragrance and took two steps. Suddenly, she felt her feet go soft and fell on the sandalwood chair behind her. Qin’er went to get the fishing rod. Just as she walked over and held it in her hand, she smelled the odor. Suddenly, she sucked in two more mouthfuls and fell unconscious on the ground.

Suddenly, someone broke through the window. A knife in her hand had already been rolled over on the spot. It was obvious that the purpose was not Qin’er. She rolled directly to Linglong’s side. Linglong could hear the sound, but it was as if she could not wake up without any strength in the smoke. As expected, she was now like a knife in a fish’s flesh. Linglong’s consciousness gradually dissipated.

The saber had already stabbed towards Linglong. Don’t look at that assassin as a little girl, However, his technique was completely smooth and skillful, The bayonet had already reached out through his heart. Linglong’s head was covered in cold sweat. The assassin suddenly smiled coldly. She stabbed the knife into Linglong’s abdomen. That’s good, After a hundred bangs, But when there was still a little distance between her and Linglong’s belly, A piece of silver flew over. Straight on the assassin’s wrist, Before the assassin could sense danger, She had already lost her knife with a numb sensation in her arm. She knew that there were experts here, but before she could walk away, a cage-like object had already been covered by a hood. Before she could react, the cage had already taken away the head. She was so weak that she fell to the ground. Soon, the corpse had already been transported away by someone before the fresh blood came out.

When she died, she didn’t know who had killed her. Blood droplets had always been like this, and there was an inexplicable chill in them.

Beiyuan Spring Breeze, Fang Gui Yuan Bi.

Not long after, Huiqi walked over. Huiqi reached out and handed a small porcelain bottle to Linglong’s nose. She hugged Linglong lovingly in her arms. Linglong woke up after a while. Linglong opened her eyes and saw that it was Huiqi. She was still worried. She hurriedly reached out and wiped her abdomen. Fortunately, the child was still there.

Linglong suddenly cried. This was the first time Linglong had revealed her weakest appearance in the palace. Her heart was not only sad, but also filled with unending fear and disappointment. Huiqi waved his hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. My blood will protect you.”

Linglong nodded and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty. If it wasn’t for Your Majesty, there would probably be danger now. Dragon descendant-” Linglong stroked her lower abdomen and said, “Dragon descendant is no longer here.”

“Why are you saying these depressing words?” Huiqi waved his hand and said, “Last time, I said that I would find you someone who can stay with you forever. Now that I have it, can you take a look at this woman?” Huiqi clapped his hands. After a while, Eunuch Lu brought a little girl in. Linglong looked at the woman who walked in. It was a slightly older woman, It was probably the kind of resolute and stubborn person that Confucius had mentioned. Although Linglong liked the more lively people, the lively people often had a fatal weakness. That was, the lively people were unguarded when dealing with people and objects. However, the imperial palace could not be unguarded. Otherwise, it would be unclear how they died.

“What’s your name?” Linglong asked.

The palace maid took a step forward and bowed slightly before saying, “servant is called Ah Ao. She entered the palace when she was seven years old. She learned medicine when she was young. Now, she is following Pei Minghai to the Grand Hospital to consider prescriptions. Sometimes, she also follows Blooddrop to secretly protect the Emperor. Now, she is here to serve Concubine.” Linglong heard that although she didn’t say much, she was clear and organized. After a few words, she made it clear that Linglong liked this kind of person the most. She was also a person who knew medicine and martial arts. Naturally, she could protect herself. After Linglong gave a few instructions, Qin’er had already left with Ah Guo.

Just as Ah Xing walked away, Linglong started to tremble for some reason. After a while, her calf started to cramp. Huiqi was also a little anxious. The surprise just now made Linglong a little afraid. Her legs slightly trembled. Linglong forcefully suppressed the pain and sour. She said, “Your Majesty, I’ve lost my manners. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

How could Huiqi not know the reaction that a pregnant woman should have? He couldn’t help but frown and hug Linglong’s bag onto the cloud couch. He helped Linglong take off her shoes while summoning Ah Wen over. After Ah Shen came over, Ah Wen took a look and said, “It’s just a cramp. It’s fine for servant to come.” As she spoke, she began to rub her calves and thighs. After a while, Linglong felt completely comfortable. It was an indescribable enjoyment. Then, she slowly withdrew her hand and said, “Is Your Highness feeling better?”

Linglong nodded and said, “You know how to do things. This palace feels much better. From now on, you should serve this palace well in the inner hall.”

Ah Wen nodded and expressionlessly retreated. Huiqi comforted Ah Wen a few more times, and Ah Wen remembered them one by one before standing beside him.

Because Huiqi was busy, Hua went back after she finished speaking. Linglong’s heart was even more settled. With such a guard, there was nothing to be afraid of. That night, even her sleep was much better. In the past, she didn’t dare to sleep obediently. Now, she wasn’t afraid at all. As soon as she put her head on the pillow, she fell asleep.

At night, Ah Wen was on duty in Linglong’s inner hall. Qin’er and Li Sheng are asleep, Linglong also went to bed early, But only Ah Wen was completely sober, Ah Zheng did not feel the slightest bit aggrieved. She was sipping tea in the darkness alone. The tea was a good tribute tea. It came from Fujian quickly. Ah Zheng’s eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky. She looked at the darkness without blinking. No one knew what was going on in this little woman’s heart.

Tea can relieve drunkenness, refresh the mind, and even relieve worries. However, in Ah Guo’s place, tea was tea that could make her feel refreshed. By midnight, Linglong was already in a deep dream and in the black sweet fragrance. However, Ah Guo did not look sleepy at all. At this time, Ah Guo gently walked to Linglong’s bedside and stretched out her hand.

Linglong instinctively woke up, “You, what are you doing?”

Linglong was naturally scared when she saw those hands stretching out. He was afraid that this person would harm him, Then there really is no place to die, However, Ah Wen only gestured for Linglong to remain silent. She then sent a pill to Linglong’s mouth and said, “Forget about the antidote pill. Your Highness will eat it. Now, someone will immediately give Yunluan Palace an incense stick. Servant already has a plan in mind. Your Highness will wait for good news in the Incense Pavilion in the water corridor. Servant will definitely bring a few of them over to Your Highness. Please move.”

As he spoke, Qin’er and Li Sheng also cried out, He gave one antidote to each of the other two, He had also eaten one, Only then did the three of them go, Linglong was still puzzled. However, she also smelled the strange fragrance of flowers that she smelled during the day. When she smelled this fragrance, she felt powerless. Linglong naturally didn’t feel anything because she had eaten the antidote pill. She and Qin’er and Li Sheng went to the incense pavilion in front of her. The three of them looked worriedly in front of her. There was no light in the room, it was just pitch black.

“This Ah Wen has some background. Your Highness, don’t worry.” Qin’er and Li Sheng surrounded Linglong. Linglong draped a crane robe over her shoulders and clenched her fists while looking at the scenery in the water corridor. “This palace will definitely not indulge these assassins lightly. It’s fine if I can’t catch them again and again. Now that I can catch them, I won’t let them go easily.” Linglong gritted her teeth and stood up. Qin’er was frightened, “What is Your Highness doing?”

“This palace will go ahead and take a look.”

Qin’er pleaded bitterly, but Linglong didn’t listen at all. The three of them slowly walked into the front hall with their cats on their hips. The front hall was still dark, and the entire Yunluan Palace was dark. It was as if they had sunk into a long nightmare. It was unknown when this dream would awaken.

Linglong came to the front. She could see the saber light and sword shadows in the room through a window lattice. She could only hear the ping ping pong sound. Linglong felt that there was already a mess of voices in front of her. A slightly hoarse voice said, “This is Huang Ming.”

The other voice was undoubtedly Ah Xing’s voice. Ah Xing said, “No, these servants want to stay behind for Bu Zhaoyi. Empress Zhaoyi must want to ask about the reason. Please excuse me.”

“Actually, these people are asking in vain. They are already dead.” The hoarse male voice disappeared, As if there had never been one, Ah Guo walked to the front and lit the candles in the candlestick with flint. Only then did Linglong see that there were five people tied to the two pillars in the room. Together, there were ten people. They looked like a group. They could be sent out as assassins at one time, so it was considered a huge sum of money.

Just as Linglong was about to walk in, Ah Wen suddenly opened the window and door with a smile and said, “Your Highness has already come. Please come in. These people are for Your Highness. You just need to ask.”

Linglong tried not to make herself angry, She didn’t want to find out how many blood drops and Ah Guo had tied these people to the pillars. Qin’er walked to the first person and Linglong said, “Answer me tonight and let you go. Do you want to go anywhere? I’ll just trap you. Who sent you here?”

The corners of that person’s mouth salivated. She was already dead. Her tongue fell out of her mouth. Linglong was calm and composed. She wasn’t as alarmed as Qin’er. When she arrived at the second person, Linglong said the same thing. That person said, “Your Highness, don’t ask anymore. Take money and calamity away from others. Right now, you’re only going to die. Don’t bother Your Highness anymore.” After saying that, he bit his tongue and killed himself again, Linglong knew that even if these people were tortured severely, there was nothing she could do. She could only remove the walnuts from their mouths one by one. As a result, all of them died neatly. No one would believe Linglong’s words. They knew that the death penalty for assassinating their concubines was that they would not leave the capital safely when they were outside.
