The First Empress - Chapter 238
Chapter 238 Eternal Concubine
In the previous dynasties, this had happened several times. Everyone raised their eyes to look at Linglong. Linglong seemed to have not noticed the strange gazes of everyone behind her. She pursed her lips and smiled hesitantly, “Your Majesty, are you thirsty? This is An Xi’s tea for peace of mind. Your Majesty can drink this cup full.” Huiqi slowly opened the celadon lid bowl in his hand. Originally, he thought that it was a cup of tea with a curling fragrance, but there was nothing inside. After Huiqi made a gesture of drinking heavily, he placed the lid bowl beside his hand.
Linglong leaned closer to Huiqi and said, “Your Majesty, Commander Jiang and General Ji Feihong are already outside.”
“It’s because of my good intentions. These unruly officials and thieves are simply giving me a headache.” After Huiqi finished speaking, she stared at Linglong. Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed when she was looked at. She covered her lips and said, “This concubine did something wrong with good intentions. This concubine came here to atone for her sins. Please give this concubine a chance to atone for her sins.” Linglong nodded and said, “Alright, I understand what you want to do. You mean what I mean.”
Linglong smiled faintly. It really made Hundred Flowers lose their color in an instant. That beautiful face was a smile. The corners of their lips were tightly pursed, making people look not only unattainable, but also inviolable. “This palace came to deliver peace tea to the Emperor. Everyone, take it as if you didn’t see this palace.” Linglong, if you’ll excuse me, looked down from Dou Yanshan’s old face, puzzled. Dou Yanshan just raised his head, and the two’s gazes met slightly. Dou Yanshan couldn’t help but gasp for a breath of cold air.
“This palace doesn’t understand what you are doing. Could it be that the Emperor is dealing with internal affairs on a daily basis? You are the three elders beside the Emperor who are supposed to help the emperor’s country, but you are here to count the white daoists and yellow daoists. Is this the quality a human subject should possess?” After Linglong finished speaking, she slightly closed her eyes. After a while, the clear and clear voice slowly said, “This is the worst of all evil. Actually, it’s the same as Seventh Prince Hui Ye. If you don’t plead for mercy, you will still do the opposite. There probably won’t be any good results.” Linglong hinted, Standing beside Dou Yanshan, “Lord Xiuzhuan has just said that Seventh Prince will return to the court in good condition, but even if Seventh Prince Hui Ye gets the amnesty decree, he will not return. He is a cautious person. Rather than letting him go free, he will naturally capture him and put him under his nose. Lord Xiuzhuan is right.”
‘”You’re calling a deer a horse” so quickly?
Dou Yanshan meant to let Hui Ye come back, and according to the position of superiority and inferiority, he arranged Hui Ye well, but after hearing Linglong’s meaning, not only would Hui Ye not have any chance to become an official, but he would also ruthlessly bruise Hui Ye. This was not what Dou Yanshan wanted, it was completely a misunderstanding of Dou Yanshan’s meaning.
“Your Highness, I don’t mean that. I mean …”
“You don’t have to say it. This palace naturally knows what you mean. You want to grant Huiye amnesty and push him to the front of the Imperial Court at any time. However, the Emperor’s intention is to let him die in the outside world. As a result, there was a disagreement. Your concubine also requested that Seventh Prince Hui Ye be recalled to the capital. Your Majesty …” I didn’t expect Linglong to kneel down. This was something that Huiqi could never have imagined, but Linglong had already thought of. The only way to get rid of Ji Zhuhua was to poke at Ji Zhuhua’s weak spots. However, she knew more than anyone else where Ji Zhuhua’s weak spots were.
Linglong slightly kowtowed, only to hear the sound of a ring of jade kowtowing. Her clear and joyful voice crashed slightly below the golden step and then reached Huiqi’s ears. “Your Majesty, this concubine also means that.”
Huiqi didn’t know what Linglong meant. He walked over and stood beside her. Linglong looked at the pair of sleeves slowly stretching towards him. Soon, Linglong was supported up. Huiqi said, “I still don’t understand what you mean …”
Linglong only glanced outside. Although Huiqi didn’t know what was going on inside, she already understood that he had to be Huairou today. Thus, she said, “Outside …”
Linglong nodded unhurriedly and smiled elegantly, “Commander Ji Feihong and Commander Jiang are ready.”
Huiqi suddenly let go of Linglong’s hand and walked up to the golden stage. Then, he sat down firmly in the dragon chair and said, “I will allow Lord Dou Yanshan to return to the capital safely. I will let bygones be bygones. However, Lord Xiuzhuan is old after all, so it would be better for him to go into seclusion.” After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, “There are a few fire monks lacking in Baohua Temple right now. Your Excellency, let’s go there …”
“I, I … I’m not old enough to be useless. I still have to help the Emperor.” Dou Yanshan tried his best to kowtow on the golden brick.
Suddenly, Huiqi said, “General Ji, Commander Jiang, aren’t you coming in? This is to make me abdicate. What’s the use of leaving such an unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust subject?” Huiqi waved his hand and the folds in front of him were all over the floor. Everyone knew that Huiqi was really angry this time, and Linglong had already told these Yu Lin Lang that it was just a little lighter thunder coming today.
Ji Feihong and Commander Jiang arrived at the Golden Hall in a few steps. Just as Ji Feihong was about to catch Dou Yanshan, Dou Yanshan suddenly rushed forward one after another and crashed into the pillar. Linglong couldn’t help but change color. Huiqi looked at Linglong. She didn’t want to see this kind of thing that forced her to be loyal, nor did Huiqi want it to happen.
Linglong’s jade-like face was filled with inquiry. Huiqi looked into Linglong’s eyes and sighed for a long time. He pointed at his corpse and said, “Lord Xiuzhuan is very old and virtuous. What you said is true. I will definitely protect Huiye well. No matter where Seventh Prince is, I will call him back safely. It can be considered as giving the old official an explanation. All of you should disperse.” Seeing that the perpetrator had been shattered, Since ancient times, generosity has always been easy to die. As a result, the rest of the people scattered. Huiqi Xuan Mei looked at Ling Long. He now understood all of Ling Long’s intentions. Ling Long originally wanted Ji Feihong and Commander Jiang to suppress the old officials. Originally, it was enough to intimidate them, but he didn’t expect that Dou Yanshan would actually …
However, he had already killed two birds with one stone. First, he had allowed Seventh Prince Hui Ye to enter the capital “safely”. On the one hand, suppression had also played a certain role. Huiqi looked at Linglong happily. Linglong smiled and gradually retired.
After Linglong left, Ji Feihong and Commander Jiang also dragged Dou Yanshan’s corpse. Linglong stopped Ji Feihong outside and said, “Don’t forget to send a message to Your Highness. Just say that Dou Yanshan died in the country. He is the first person in this dynasty who has loyalty and righteousness. Even though it was a death warning, it succeeded. Let Your Highness wait for him for another 30 to 50 days. At the very least, Seventh Prince will be back in half a month.”
The two of them hurriedly left.
At night, Huiqi arrived in Linglong’s Yunluan Palace. Linglong was removing the pearl from her head. Huiqi walked over and grabbed the two strands that Linglong had just placed on the table. He said, “Thanks to you, you are the strongest person beside me today. I will treat you well, but you can’t be too obedient now.” Linglong’s face carried a graceful and slightly relaxed smile. “that emperor is good, Just as he had helped, he shouted at his concubine, It must be known that this concubine had considered it for a long time before she made her move. “This way, people will know that my lord is wise. He won’t change his mind just by saying a few words of’death advice ‘. Secondly, people will know what the emperor means. The emperor sympathizes with the ministers. Thirdly, the emperor will think about it carefully. If he really puts Seventh Prince under his nose, it would be great.”
Huiqi smiled and said, “I knew you had your own reasons every time. You are a formidable person. I understand what you are thinking. However, every time you do something new, even I cannot catch up with you.” Linglong smiled. No matter what Huiqi said, Linglong was the same exquisite, celadon like water, neither humble nor arrogant.
“Your Majesty, have you decided to let Seventh Prince come back earlier?” Linglong leaned against Huiqi’s shoulder and asked softly.
Huiqi patted the back of Linglong’s head and said, “Naturally, I want Seventh Prince to come back earlier. After coming back, I will naturally have a way to deal with him. However, staying outside makes me feel worried. It is better for these people to be under my eyelids.” Linglong leisurely stretched out her hand and helped down a piece of fallen flower on Huiqi’s shoulder. She said, “Your Majesty, you must thank your concubine properly in the future. Last time, it was your concubine who helped your Majesty assassinate Hui Ye, but Hui Ye escaped. If I have the chance, I will not let Hui Ye go.” After Linglong finished speaking, she smiled faintly and said, “Will the Emperor be able to hand the Empress over to my concubines in the end?”
‘”You have already checked the last time. The Empress is indeed Princess Yu Lai’s culprit. I will definitely not let such a wicked woman occupy a high position in the harem. However, I still need to earn Hui Ye back now. This is an urgent matter, and it is also an urgent matter. After this matter, what you want to do will not matter, right? You are a capable woman. I believe in what you have done.” After Huiqi finished speaking, she gently patted Linglong’s shoulder. Linglong felt a lot more comfortable, and the nervousness and sense of crisis she had felt over the past few days had completely disappeared.
Huiqi said, “Will Seventh Prince really come back?”
Linglong looked at the floating crystal curtain in front of her and looked at Huiqi with rapt attention. She said, “We’ll see in half a month. Your Majesty can’t forget to eat or fight this time. You must go all out. The rest of Hui Ye’s faction is not ten to twenty people, but a large group of fresh troops. Your Majesty can’t be careless, okay?” Hearing Linglong’s concern, Huiqi immediately felt in a good mood. He patted Linglong’s shoulder and said, “Then thank you. I will satisfy you at that time. If you want the Empress, I will give it to you.”
Linglong nodded her head secretly. The intention in her heart was even deeper. She did not want to stay here anymore. The loss of their lives was her own precursor. Linglong was afraid that someone like this would replace her in the future. At that time, she did not have any place to stand.
