The First Empress - Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Devise A Strategy
The cigarette drifted slightly, Linglong sighed disappointedly. She gently inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner and then turned around. This time, she looked like a different person. Her face was like a Bodhisattva whose true appearance was covered by the clouds of the nine heavens. There was a kind of compassion in the soft light, but this kind of compassion did not bloom for everyone. Linglong knew.
Linglong wrote a note and said, “This must be spread to the people. At that time, everyone must know. The power to contact father must be known to all ages. I am worried about Ah Wen. It would be more appropriate for you to personally send it out.” Linglong looked at a piece of paper over and over again, then blew on the ink stain, and when it dried up, she sent it to Qin’er’s hand.
Qin’er prepared the paper and sent it out that night pretending to be a palace maid who was delivering excrement outside Everlane.
Linglong sat in Yunluan Palace. He pondered for a moment before replying, All these contradictions were directed at the Empress, Vain Linglong had trusted Ji Zhuhua like this ever since she was pregnant. Moreover, Ji Zhuhua had said with certainty that she would protect her fetus. Linglong actually believed everything. Now that she remembered Linglong, she felt that she was actually quite lucky. At the very least, she hadn’t been killed by Ji Zhuhua for no apparent reason.
On this day, Linglong went to the Kun De Palace to pay her respects. Ji Zhuhua looked at Da Linglong and said, “You’re in good health. You can’t work too hard. If you can’t come, then you can’t come. You and I are sisters. You can’t struggle like this in the future.” Linglong nodded. Tears of sincerity quickly gushed out of his eyes. The tears welled up in his eyes. Landing on the back of Linglong’s hand, Linglong knew that acting in front of Ji Zhuhua had to reach a certain level before she could be seen through. Therefore, Linglong put in more than 120,000 points of effort and said, “Thank you, Your Highness, for making the decision for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known how I would have been able to endure it. Now, I have asked Your Highness to make the decision and capture Concubine Mude in one fell swoop. Only then can I dispel the hatred in my heart.” Speaking of which, Linglong looked fiercely at Ji Zhuhua.
Ji Zhuhua sighed coldly and said, “The Concubine Mude family is wealthy, “You know that Royal Teacher Mu’s foundation is relatively stable now. If you want to avenge me, I only have one sentence. Please beg the Emperor. However, I will help you here. I have something from my brother. You can take a look. If necessary, it will be a good thing to settle down.” As he spoke, Pei Lan sent over a thick letter. Linglong opened it and looked at it. It was obvious that she had already prepared it long ago.
From beginning to end, everything was written about how to subvert the imperial power, When to recruit, What should we do when we have the reputation of being safe, There was also a plan to break through Zi Hua City, Linglong looked at the seal on it that contained Royal Teacher Mu’s letters. Naturally, it was impossible to forge it. Linglong kowtowed to the Empress gratefully. Ji Zhuhua said, “This matter should not be delayed. If you get these things, take your revenge earlier. This palace will definitely help you in the future. Don’t worry.” Naturally, Linglong understood the reason for this. She said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. When you need Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely let Your Highness help you. Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness thanks Your Highness in advance.” Ji Zhuhua nodded and said, “Go back. The Emperor will return to your place tonight. You know what to do when you get there.”
“Yes, thank you, Empress.” Linglong wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and put away her sorrowful expression. Even Ji Zhuhua said, “Your Majesty doesn’t like women like Li Chongyuan. Do you know how you pamper yourself?” Linglong nodded her head repeatedly. After a while, Linglong had already left the ritual gates. Linglong couldn’t wait for the Emperor to come at night. Naturally, the quicker she dealt with these matters, the better. Linglong walked outside the study room.
Eunuch Lu passed it on. Linglong had already arrived in the inner hall. The letter from last time must have been boiling outside. It was just that Linglong could not hear the bloodshed outside the palace. She disguised herself as innocent and harmless. She held the paper in her hand and walked into the study room.
Hui Qi sat upright, But it was obvious that his expression was extremely ugly, His usually calm hands were also trembling slightly. Linglong saw Hui Qi sitting cross-legged and walked to Hui Qi’s side. After saluting, Hui Qi saw Linglong. Linglong naturally understood that Hui Qi and her body and spirit had been destroyed. If it weren’t for the fact that it was not a very important matter, Hui Qi wouldn’t be so cold-faced if it weren’t for the extremely severe blow. She smiled and said, “Your Majesty, what is this?” “This morning, I was overjoyed. Last night, the lanterns exploded three times. It’s all good news. The Emperor doesn’t seem to be looking very good now. Why is that?”
When Hui Qi heard Linglong’s question, he said, “You are the women of the harem, “I shouldn’t have told you about the previous dynasty, but you have always been a smart and steady person. I will tell you, now that the mad rumor has it that Hui Ye has gathered hundreds of thousands of loose soldiers to prepare to break through my Royal Court in one go, I have not slept peacefully for several days because of this matter. Help me see what I should do.”
Hearing this, Linglong sighed slightly and said, “What does the Emperor want to do? Didn’t the Emperor hear that the blessings are unparalleled and misfortune never comes alone, but I will tell the Emperor that I don’t need to worry about these things at all.”
‘”Oh–” said Huiqi, a little puzzled. “You’re a smart man. I don’t know what you’re thinking. Just tell me and I’ll definitely reward you well.” Linglong didn’t want any rewards, “The emperor kept the reward to reward the victims, This concubine only had one sentence that she wanted the Emperor to decide for this concubine. “If the Emperor can make the decision for me, I will help him in everything. I promise that I will calm down the civil strife between Seventh Prince and Royal Teacher Mu within a month, help the Emperor get rid of the cancer of Royal Teacher Mu within half a year, and help the Emperor cut off Hui Ye’s loose troops within a year. Does the Emperor think it is possible?”
Huiqi didn’t know where Linglong’s confidence came from. Hearing Linglong’s words, he couldn’t help but say, “Tell me, what exactly do you want? Is it something that I can give you? As long as it’s something that I can give you, just say it.” Linglong tidied up her clothes. She knelt on the ground and said, “This concubine doesn’t need anything. This concubine only wants the Emperor to make the decision for this concubine. This concubine’s child was killed by Concubine De. This concubine won’t let Concubine De live so easily. Your Majesty,” Linglong kneeled beside Huiqi and said, “Please let Linglong personally execute Concubine De in the end.”
Huiqi’s eyebrows twitched as he said, “You are furious. Imperial Concubine De can’t move now …”
“Your Majesty, Jun Wu jokes, Your Majesty, please think twice, If the Emperor decides to agree with me, I will naturally help the Emperor, The time for this concubine to say it will surely come and disintegrate them. Your Majesty, everyone has weaknesses, Your Majesty … I want very little, Very few, just want a woman’s life, The grievances of Princess Yu Lai’s death, Your Majesty, please make your decision earlier, There’s no stopping it, “Your Majesty” Linglong’s tears flowed down her cheeks. After a while, she began to kowtow. Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and said, “I naturally know that Princess Yu Lai died unknowingly. “I will help you. Now, I’m telling you that I will leave Concubine De’s cheap life to you in the end. Now, stand up. I will naturally make the decision for Princess Yu Lai. Don’t worry.”
Linglong stood up and said, “Your Majesty … I thank Your Majesty.”
‘”There’s no need to thank me–” Huiqi waved his hand and said, “Tell me how to retreat now. Although you feel pain in your heart, you can’t mess around, can you? Besides, Concubine De can’t get rid of it so quickly now.” Huiqi looked worried, but Linglong was not the slightest bit dispirited. She said, “Your Majesty, you can rest assured that Huiqi’s army will find a way to withdraw in less than two days.”
Huiqi’s tall, straight nose trembled a little and he said, “What exactly are you planning to do to retreat? Is this powerful?” I didn’t expect it, Tell me, I actually wanted to kill Concubine De a long time ago, Concubine De killed Princess Yu Lai, The crocodile in my heart is in pain, “Linglong looked at Huiqi and smiled coldly. These things weren’t planned by them, but by Empress Ji Zhuhua. However, Huiqi didn’t know about them. Linglong said,” Your Majesty, this concubine came here to advise the Emperor. Your Majesty, let’s see what this is. ”
Huiqi took the things in Linglong’s hands and looked at them for a while before saying, “What are these?”
Linglong said, “Your Majesty, take a closer look. These are all plans to retreat from the enemy. After the Emperor sees my servants and concubines, he tells the Emperor why these are plans to retreat. Your Majesty, take a look.” Linglong said as she sat beside Huiqi. Huiqi’s expression was heavy. Upon hearing that it was a plan to retreat from the enemy, he naturally looked at it happily. These are all evidence of Royal Teacher Mu’s guilt, Everything had been analyzed. Although Huiqi did not know where these things came from, it was obvious that it had already been planned for many years. Linglong waited for Huiqi to finish reading them before looking at Huiqi quietly. Huiqi was enraged and smashed his fist on the table. “Has this Royal Teacher Mu planned for so many years?” She said. However, I didn’t pay attention to these things. I will definitely pay attention to these things. I just don’t know where these things came from. You can be considered a loyal official. You … ”
“Is the Emperor willing to protect my father? These were all things my father had mastered for five or six years, Your Majesty, “Linglong naturally left this matter on her. She naturally needed to give herself something great. This Ji Zhuhua could also be considered a very good gift for her.” Linglong continued, “Please protect my father’s life. My father is already very tired for His Majesty’s country. Can Your Majesty agree to my concubines?”
Huiqi nodded and said, “Your father is a loyal minister. I have seen him in my eyes. Now, I will tell you that no matter what happens in the future, I will protect your father. I will also give your father a promotion to be a noble and thorough strategist.” Hearing this, Linglong said, She nodded. In the past, Linglong did not want to become an official. However, seeing that the stronger she was, the better she could handle it. She could not help but nod and say, “The Emperor does not need to become an official. After all, father is from the Academy. It is meaningless to become an official. The Emperor only needs to let father be a guest of honor.”
