The First Empress - Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Buried Heart’s Pain
Linglong knew that Concubine De was quite upright, but there was a kind of evil in this uprightness. Linglong didn’t want to talk too much with Concubine De, so she couldn’t let a person who had already recognized that she wasn’t good suddenly change his view. Although it was heartache, she could only call out helplessly.

Linglong accused the Empress and prepared to go to the back hall to take care of Princess Yu Lai. Ji Zhuhua looked at Linglong with his clear and deep eyes and nodded, “You can go yourself. This palace is here to take care of you. After all, it’s important for you to be a child.” Linglong received all kinds of gifts and went. The back hall was cold, and Zhan Yun was far away. A dark shadow descended and enveloped the entire back hall.

The wind moved the flower branches, and a faint sweet fragrance rushed over from the air. Her exquisite clothes were like a shadow in the middle of the moon, and Qing Shuxuan was able to lift them into the back hall.

Qin’er and Ah Wen were also in the back hall, Linglong thought for a while because the scenery in the corridor was quiet and the air was cool. When they reached the back hall, Seeing a panicked woman walking over from over there, The woman was dressed plainly, She was dressed in a bunch of clothes, She looked to be in her forties, but her hands and feet moved swiftly past the hanging flower gate in three or two steps. Linglong looked in the darkness of the ritual gate and only heard this woman “Aiyo” and hurriedly cover her lips. Linglong wondered why this woman came from the direction of the rear hall. Ordinary people in Yunluan Palace’s rear hall were not allowed to enter at will.

Those dark and deep eyes couldn’t help but be slightly more delicate. This palace maid was obviously the granny of that palace. However, for some reason, Linglong deliberately didn’t come out of the darkness when she arrived at the back hall of Yunluan Palace. When the old granny walked a distance away, Linglong arrived at the place where she was standing. Suddenly, she saw something falling from the ground. This was a hairpin for a woman. The things in the palace were naturally different from other places. This hairpin was actually engraved with the word “Mu”. Linglong’s heart was even more shocked. At the same time, her chest was beating like a rabbit. She didn’t dare to imagine whether there was a reason or a shocking conspiracy inside, so she quickly walked into the back hall.

The pavilion was dark and green, and the breeze was thin. Linglong felt that the hot wind was also cold, He didn’t know what had happened in the inner hall, Three or two steps into the inner hall, Only then did he realize that the window was open, Linglong hurriedly walked into the hall. The hall was in a mess. A ball of red blood condensed on the golden carpet. Linglong ran onto the cloud bed. Beside Princess Yu Lai’s hand was a porcelain bowl. There was a little scarlet medicine residue emitting a kind of white and red smoke. Linglong reached out to pick Princess Yu Lai up and rushed to the front.

“Pass on the imperial physician, quickly send someone to this palace to pass on the imperial physician-” Linglong held Princess Yu Lai in her arms. She stumbled over and looked at Qin’er on the ground. It was obvious that the stick behind her was a lethal weapon. Linglong did not know why she was so calm, so calm that even she could not believe it. She stretched out her hand and gently tried on Qin’er’s nose. Fortunately, although the scar was shocking, Qin’er did not have any life worries.

Linglong was about to shout, Ah Wen leapt in from the outside. His heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene. Putong immediately knelt on the ground, She kowtowed repeatedly, ‘”Concubine, servant heard someone outside just now. Just as she walked out, she saw an old granny walk over. She chased after Qin’er in three or two steps, and she was alone in the hall watching the little princess. She didn’t expect … she didn’t expect … she actually …” Ah Gun had always been calm. She didn’t expect that today would also become panicked.

Linglong clenched her hands tightly. The armor pierced into her white skin. A bright red blood pearl immediately oozed out from her translucent skin. “Send it to the imperial physician! Send it to the imperial physician!” Linglong’s voice was almost hoarse. The people outside had already reached her layer by layer. She was just waiting for Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan. Could it be that neither of them were here today?

Linglong stumbled to her feet. Ah Wen hurriedly hugged Princess Yu Lai, He tried, but he still had a body temperature, Ah Xue hurriedly channeled her true energy into Princess Yu Lai’s small wrist. Linglong saw Princess Yu Lai’s expression slowly recovering. She quickly reached out and hugged Princess Yu Lai in her arms. It was as if she had lost a treasure and kissed Princess Yu Lai’s pink and jade-like cheek.

At this moment, Princess Yu Lai looked like an ordinary person had fallen asleep. Linglong gently patted Princess Yu Lai. She glanced at the porcelain bowl in front of her and knew what was inside. However, she didn’t dare to think about the worst. Ah Sheng stomped her feet three or two steps before rushing outside. Then, she left. She wanted to capture Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan and see if Princess Yu Lai could still be saved.

Just now, he had only sent a little bit of True Qi to help Princess Yu Lai extend her life. If …

Linglong tried her best to calm herself down, You must not be in a state of chaos, She hugged Princess Yu Lai and sat on an official hat chair. There was a mirror on the chair inlaid with Hundred Treasures, which made Linglong’s thin face even thinner. Linglong had been working hard for Princess Yu Lai for a long time. She had watched Princess Yu Lai live peacefully for three months. Did she not expect that the heavens would not fulfill her wish?

Linglong didn’t dare to imagine, He could only press down heavily on his palm with his armor, Looking at her pale white knuckles, Linglong gritted her teeth. Although her teeth were clenched, they were still trembling, so much so that Linglong had to put her lips under her teeth. In this way, her teeth trembled and her lips were broken. As a result, fine blood slowly fainted down her lips, forming a miserable peach blossom.

“Here … This palace … Summon the imperial physician …” Linglong called out like a cub. The little girl in the inner hall had already arrived. She was busy in groups of three or five. At this time, someone pinched Qin’er. Only then did Qin’er wake up faintly. Someone quickly covered Qin’er’s forehead with ash, and Qin’er struggled to get up.

Looking at the fact that there was no Princess Yu Lai on the cloud couch, he couldn’t help but turn around.

When Linglong saw Qin’er wake up, her lifeless eyes suddenly shone brightly. Qin’er didn’t dare to look at her. She just crawled over on her knees and said, “Master … Your Highness …”

Qin’er didn’t have the strength to finish her sentence. After saying just two words, she felt a heart-wrenching pain overhead. After a while, blood flowed down again. Linglong sat absent-mindedly. Qin’er finally stumbled over and hugged Linglong. A huge tear fell from her eyes. This tear was like a comet falling from the nine heavens, carrying a sparkling light.

“Your Highness, it’s Qin’er who didn’t take good care of the little princess. Qin’er deserves to die … Qin’er …” Qin’er saw a corner of the table and was about to rush over. Linglong suddenly regained her senses and grabbed Qin’er’s back, threatening, “Are you also confused?” Yu Lai is still in good shape now. Besides, the enemy didn’t catch you and killed you in such an unclear way. I… I also feel sorry for you… “Hearing this, Qin’er suddenly turned her head around with a cold expression. She didn’t expect the Empress to be here at this time.

Seeing this scene, the Empress was naturally shocked. She hurriedly walked over. Linglong did not have time to bow. Ji Zhuhua had already slightly supported Linglong. Because the wedding banquet outside was over, Ji Zhuhua came in alone, and because the matter was not yet under control, Ji Zhuhua could only walk in alone.

Linglong held the dying baby in her hands, her face seemingly frozen.

“Are you all dead? Hurry up and go to the Imperial Hospital and find the Imperial Physician for this palace …” Ji Zhuhua’s elegant demeanor was no longer there. He shouted at the crowd behind him. Linglong looked at Ji Zhuhua for a long time and said, “Your Highness, you have already left. Your Highness, please be at ease.”

Qin’er bandaged her head and stood up reluctantly to pour a cup of tea for Ji Zhuhua. Ji Zhuhua’s hand trembled slightly, and the water in the tea cup could not help but be spilled everywhere.

Ji Zhu Hua looked much sadder than Ling Long. “Tell me the truth, what happened just now? You incompetent slave …” After all, the dragon descendant was no small matter. She was also responsible and risky. Ji Zhu Hua’s fingers trembled like bamboo leaves fluttering in the wind and rain. His face was covered with a layer of killing intent that he had never felt before. With a slap, five red scars immediately appeared on Qin’er’s face.

Qin’er actually didn’t feel any pain. Linglong hurriedly hugged Qin’er in her arms. “Your Highness is lacking. It’s not the time for Your Highness to send Qin’er down. Qin’er has already done her best to have a clear conscience. Your Highness can’t do this.” Qin’er’s eyes were filled with tears, and she cried out with a “wow” sound.

At this time, Linglong suddenly lowered her head and said, Seeing Princess Yu Lai’s eyes open, But very quickly, her eyes became dull. The light on her iris gradually disappeared. Linglong shook Princess Yu Lai vigorously. Princess Yu Lai suddenly cried out loudly. Fortunately, she could cry out loud and her voice was hoarse like this. This showed that everything was fine and Linglong’s heart was much calmer.

However, Princess Yu Lai’s crying soon became strange. In a moment, she became distracted. She was like a broken kite. She was forcefully torn apart by something in the air that was less than 90,000 kilometers away. Princess Yu Lai twitched twice and no longer made a sound. Linglong hugged Princess Yu Lai tightly.

‘”No, it won’t–” Linglong didn’t want to believe the truth in front of her. A few days ago, she dreamt that Princess Yu Lai had grown up bit by bit, becoming 28 beauties bit by bit. She was getting old bit by bit. She wouldn’t.

When Linglong thought of Princess Yu Lai’s words in her dream, “Mother Concubine, I’ll be leaving first.” Her heart couldn’t help but beat violently. Could it be that her words in her dream had already depressed Chen Cheng in reality? Exactly where are we going now?

Child, mother can’t send you away. You are mother’s first child. You must be strong and wait for the arrival of the imperial physician …
