The First Empress - Chapter 255
Chapter 255 It’s Just A Joke
That face was ice-clear. It was clearly Concubine Heshu’s face. Her hair was drenched in lacquer and her hair was like a waterfall. When she saw such a face, Lan Sou Yu was very surprised. However, she could not utter a single word of bitterness. Concubine Heshu’s face slowly approached Lan Sou Yu’s. Ruo Lan gently stroked Lan Sou Yu’s face with her fingers. “Isn’t little sister useful?” If you want to be the queen, you should let sister come, Elder sister died wrongly, “What a wrongful death–” said Concubine Heshu, crying bitterly in sorrow. It was a long time before his watery gaze descended, as if he could not find his target. After looking empty in the air for a while, he said, “For the sake of being the Queen, “In order for your sister to be ruthless and ruthless, she died because of these things. She died unjustly. Do you want to see her face?”
Lan Sou Yu’s entire body trembled uncontrollably.
The densely embroidered sleeve had already stroked over and gently stroked Lan Sou Yu. Just now, her entire body was as beautiful as a green peach that was smiling in the spring breeze. After gently stroking her face with both hands, her face was already extremely sinister, and a ball of jewelry no longer existed. Instead, it was replaced by a rotten dirty cheek. The dense white bones were also exposed, and those pair of strange eyes looked over coldly. “Sister is a good empress. Sister will naturally come over to visit me frequently. We have a deep affection for each other, so we should take a good walk from top to bottom.”
“Up and down–”
After a while, Lan Sou Yu struggled to wake up. Her maidservant, Shaling, hurriedly rushed in and said, “What happened to the Empress?”
Lan Sou Yu’s cheeks flushed red and her entire body was drenched in sweat. The sweat was still dripping down her head. Shaling hurriedly poured some tea for Lan Sou Yu. Lan Sou Yu’s hand that was holding the cup trembled slightly and the tea splashed out bit by bit. Shaling asked, “What’s wrong, Your Highness?” Naturally, Lan Shuyu was unwilling to reveal the matter. She only said, “Take out the incense burner and light a stick of agarwood chips.”
Lan Sou Yu was relieved when Shaling was confused and quickly helped to fix it.
It was already the second half of the night. The lights in Yunluan Palace were still brightly lit. The roof tiles moved slightly, and the people on the roof had already fallen. Linglong said, “It’s hard for you. It’s late at night to pretend to be a ghost and scare people. Hurry up and come over.” So it was a maid, The maidservant walked over in panic. Linglong asked Qin’er to help remove her makeup. After the maidservant told them everything, everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Linglong smiled and said, “If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of a ghost knocking on the door. The queen’s position can only be taken directly. You can’t ask for it in a curve. But Lan Suyu goes against the heavens, causing the heavens to be angry.”
Qin’er smiled and said, “Your Highness, it’s almost midnight. It’s time to rest.”
Linglong nodded. Qin’er waited on Linglong and went to sleep.
The next day, she didn’t want Lan Sou Yu’s body to be so useless. I’m sick, Linglong arrived at Lan Sou Yu’s Changle Palace. The palaces could only welcome Linglong in. Linglong’s entire body exuded a youthful and lively aura, which formed a sharp contrast with Lan Shuyu’s sickly expression. Lan Shuyu tilted on the couch, her pair of drunken eyes looking at Linglong and Linglong looked at Lan Shuyu softly. After a long time, the two smiled bitterly.
“Are you coming to see if I’m all right? To be honest, what’s the good of fighting between us for the throne of the Empress, Now that I’m sick, it’s your fortune, You can catch up, However, “Lan Shuyu said,” if you do this queen, Naturally, The Empress must know that a high position of power has its disadvantages, “Don’t fall too high–” Lan Sou Yu chattered endlessly. After Ling Long finished listening, a cynical smile appeared on her lips. “This palace naturally knows the reason why things don’t go according to plan.” “The so-called climbing and falling weight is always a bit more gratifying than crawling on the ground. Besides, if I become the Empress, I will naturally take care of those women who have harmed me before and look through those old cases.”
‘”If there is no noble family, the empress would be chewing on the wax if she did it. I advise you to take a back seat. If I become the empress, I will leave you with a noble consort. You can rest assured.” After Lan Sou Yu finished speaking, she coughed slightly. Linglong kindly patted Lan Sou Yu on the shoulder. Lan Shuyu was out of breath trying to say something. Linglong’s smile deepened. “If I were a princess, I wouldn’t even know how I died, “Therefore, even if this throne of the Empress is chewed, I still want to do it properly. After all, your companion is like a tiger accompanying a tiger, and there are people like you who want my life at any time. If I don’t become the Empress in this lifetime, I will naturally be killed. I am unwilling to be the one who slaughters without explicitly drawing my neck. That is why I want to be a Queen and be a good Empress.”
‘”You–” Lan Shuyu’s skin glowed brighter than snow, her features were picturesque, but when she was angry, she seemed to be greatly diminished. “You’re a sickly beauty. Take a good rest. During this period of time–” Linglong smiled quietly. “This palace will take good action. I’m afraid it will catch you off guard, so I’ll let you know beforehand so as not to dwarf you.”
“If you want to catch this palace off guard, I’m afraid that you have more than enough strength. This palace will find a way to be this queen. This palace will.”
Linglong’s eyebrows were long and slender. Xuan Yixuan frowned slightly and said, “Then this palace will wait. It is proper not to disappoint this palace.”
After Linglong said goodbye, the two of them glared at each other angrily. Thinking about Princess Yu Lai’s death and Lan Sou Yu’s relationship, Linglong reminded herself that she could not be careless, nor could she be kind to women, nor could she not be the queen. Even if she was a puppet queen, even if she had Guan Wu Lu, Linglong still wanted to be a queen.
At dawn the next day, The concubines all arrived at Qianyuan Palace, After the civil servants and generals finished their discussion, the concubines led by Concubine Guyi lined up like a long line into the Qianyuan Palace. The first person was Concubine Guyi, followed by Chen Chongyi, and then Ning Yanliu and the Ningguta clan. A few people came down to the inner palace like flowers. Hui Qi said, “Are you free? Come here in such a neat manner?”
Concubine Guyi bowed to his concubines, and Concubine Guyi said, “Your concubine will not come until I hear that there is a queen to be chosen.”
“It’s just a matter of selecting the Empress. I don’t need to trouble you to stir up trouble.” Hui Qi glanced at them as he spoke. He didn’t know what this mighty dragon was up to, but it was good that the group of dragons had a head. He looked at Concubine Guyi, who was in the lead, and said, “You are also an old man in the palace. Could it be that you came here to let me consider you as well?”
Concubine Guyi actually nodded his head and said, “The throne of the Empress is occupied by virtuous people. Although the Emperor thinks highly of Lan Zhaoyuan and Bu Zhaoyi, he only chose from the two of them. It would be better to let everyone participate in the grand ceremony together.” As soon as he finished speaking, a minister had already started to coax. Huiqi waved his hand slightly and said, “What do you mean?”
“It’s not just me,” Concubine Guyi Ying Ying bowed down. “It’s me and the other concubines. Even if someone were to stand out and become the Empress, everyone would still be convinced. What does the Emperor think?” Huiqi nodded his head, “Alright, I was thinking the same way. I will ask the Internal Affairs Department to redraft your names and think about it carefully.”
The concubines behind him also broke out in cold sweat. “Thank you, my lord, for your kindness.”
Huiqi’s expression was unfriendly as he said, “Retreat. The previous dynasty is not the harem. You are not afraid of being laughed at even if you make a move like this.”
Concubine Guyi was obedient and had a response long ago. He said calmly, “This concubine and I are afraid that the throne of the empress will be taken over by that unkind and unjust woman. This is why we want to rise to prominence. It is not because of selfishness. Otherwise, this concubine is afraid of losing her head.” Hearing this, Huiqi couldn’t help but smile, “There are two steps of Zhao Yi’s style. Alright, step down.” The imperial concubines saw that Huiqi’s complexion was slightly dark and hurriedly retreated. The reason why it was too late was very clear.
After the concubines left, they arrived at Linglong’s Yunluan Palace. Linglong heard that the concubines had already done as she instructed. Her beautiful face instantly lit up. She smiled and said, “It’s not just this palace fighting with Lan Sou Yu. Let’s see how Lan Sou Yu handles it. It’s more fun.”
“Your Highness, what other plans do you have? Where you can find your concubines, you just have to open your mouth. Although your concubines are not talented, there is no problem fighting. If Lan Sou Yu becomes the Empress, I don’t know how I will die.” Said Concubine Guyi, feeling a little sad. Linglong held Concubine Guyi’s hand. “It’s good to stand firm at this time, Lan Shuyu was an impetuous person. It’s fine if we let her make a little more mistakes during this period of time, “If the snowballs are getting bigger and bigger, then you can’t be a queen. The queen has always been a venerable person. Even without the age limit, you need someone with both ability and virtue to be able to do so. Since that’s the case, we won’t be able to make Lan Sou Yu have both ability and virtue. It’s the right path to lose everything.” Everyone approached Linglong, Linglong said something to the concubines, and the few of them left with smiles on their faces.
“Your Highness has sent so many people to the previous dynasty to cause trouble. What if they are careless?” After Qin’er saw everyone leave, she angrily brought over a cup of tea. Linglong took a sip and said softly, “Since it was done, it will be of use to me. Since you have never seen me before, you can do whatever you want. So you should take a look slowly.”
Qin’er nodded, “Your Highness wants Lan Sou Yu to be in a mess. However, Lan Sou Yu is also an old fox, so she might not necessarily fall for it. Your Highness may need other methods.” Linglong knew what Qin’er meant. She looked at Qin’er with bright eyes and said, “Naturally, the other methods are one after another. Just watch carefully. When has this palace ever done anything casually?” Hearing this, Qin’er’s expression became lively. She wanted to say something, but Linglong smiled faintly and said, “The wall has ears, you can’t say it.”
Qin’er smiled and said, “Your Highness is a smart person. I’m afraid only Your Highness can think of these things.”
“Thinking about it is one thing. Whether you can do it or not is the most important thing. Since you have already decided, you must act properly. Choice is more important than effort. You must also remember that it is the most important thing.” After saying that, she smiled, and Qin’er smiled as well.
