The First Empress - Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Willow Blossom and Willow Blossom

Lan Sou Yu had been busy raising them these past few days. She was too weak to deal with the matters of the previous dynasty. Only then did Shaling say that the imperial concubines of the previous dynasty had gathered together. Lan Sou Yu was already furious. “Why did everyone come here to participate? It was originally a competition between this palace and Bu Zhao Yi. Could it be that these people didn’t care about their lives?” At this point, his chest slightly rose and fell, Shaling’s expression turned ugly. After consoling her for a while, she hurriedly delivered the soup and medicine. “Please calm down, Your Highness. These things were originally planned by Bu Linglong. Even if Concubine Guyi was bold, he wouldn’t dare to shock the Holy Chariot. Moreover, the sharpness of his words was revealed. When did Concubine Guyi become so aggressive? It was only Bu Linglong who instigated it.”

Lan Shuyu tightened her grip on a handkerchief beside her hand and said, “You can ask Concubine Guyi to come here, and I will take a look.”

“I heard that Chen Chongyi is also planning to move into Kun De Palace. Kun De Palace is the former Empress’ place. This woman seems to want a piece of the pie as well.” Shaling added. Lan Sou Yu sat upright in anger and coughed twice. “Don’t tell me these concubines don’t want to die anymore? What kind of manners do they all have? Go and send another letter to your father to see what his father says.”

Shaling agreed.

On this side, Linglong was talking to a few concubines. Everyone said happily. Linglong then smiled and said, “Sister Chongyi is the first to attack. With Kun De Palace, which is not easy to deal with, even Lan Sou Yu looks at her differently. No matter who the queen is, with so many sisters helping each other, at least she will not be left alone and lonely.” As she spoke, she smiled and looked at Concubine Guyi, saying, “Imperial Concubine Yi is kind and righteous. Now, she wants to be the Empress.”

Concubine Guyi smiled and said, “The Empress doesn’t want to do it, but she can’t swallow the breath in her heart.”

Last time, Li Chongyuan was almost implicated because of the matter with the white hairpin. Linglong opened one eye and closed the other. This time, Li Chongyuan heard that Linglong Ji was in urgent need of help. ‘”This concubine doesn’t know anything. She only knows how to compete for favor. In the past, she used to blame this concubine for being too honest. Concubine Heshu died unjustly. This concubine’s main culprit was Lan Sou Yu. This concubine has served the Emperor well these past few days. It’s not like she hasn’t been to the Emperor for several days.”

Seeing that Li Chongyuan’s expression was much better, Linglong was in a good mood. She held onto Li Chongyuan’s hand and said, “This is what happened in the harem. It’s not too late for you to understand the survival of the fittest. I’ve reminded you several times before, but now you finally understand.” Li Chongyuan nodded gratefully, “Last time, the white jade hairpin …”

“The white jade hairpin is a myth. Sister Chongyuan, don’t worry. Could sister still hurt you?” Li Chongyuan nodded and said, “This concubine will serve the Emperor well with a few new concubines. This will definitely make the Emperor’s avatar useless.” Linglong nodded.

Someone outside said that they were looking for Concubine Guyi. Linglong smiled and said, “It’s already started. Everyone, take your places. Imperial Concubine Yi, you must be careful and not force yourself to stand out. Anyway, with this palace here, does Imperial Concubine understand what you are going to do? Just what you need to do, what you need to do is just to point it out.”

Concubine Guyi nodded his head repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. I still know what I can do and what I can’t do.”

As he spoke, Concubine Guyi arrived at Lan Sou Yu’s Changle Palace. First, she asked Lan Sou Yu’s good son in a fake and fussy manner, Only then did he walk to Lan Sou Yu’s side. Although Lan Shuyu was arrogant and domineering, But without Concubine Rou and Concubine De, Among the Fourth Concubine, Concubine Guyi was the only one who was afraid, so he called her “Big Sister Yi Fei”. Concubine Guyi smiled faintly. From an outsider’s point of view, their relationship was really good, but only two people knew that the feeling of tension would immediately become antagonistic …

“Your Highness is very healthy. This palace has come to take a look at Your Highness. I heard that Your Highness has been having trouble sleeping and eating for the Empress recently. How can this continue?” Concubine Guyi earnestly warned Lan Sou Yu, and then said, “Actually, the Empress lives in a place where virtue resides. You can do it, I can do it, Chen Chong Yi can do it, everyone can do it, isn’t the Empress right?” Originally, Lan Shuyu had been bedridden, because she had been frightened by ghosts for days. She was even more trembling. After hearing Concubine Guyi’s words, her expression turned ugly. “What does Imperial Concubine Yi mean? Could it be that this palace’s aura is narrow and intolerant?”

“This concubine does not have that intention. She is merely warning the Empress not to be biased towards the Tiger Mountain. The Empress is a person of great virtue. I’m afraid that the Empress’s position will not fall to the Empress. Why would the Empress marry someone like this?” As Lan Sou Yu spoke, she sent over a box of golden baht. Concubine Guyi pushed it softly and said, “What is Your Highness doing?”

“It’s just for you to go back and rest properly. The harem of the previous dynasty is exactly the same, affecting your entire body, isn’t it? Your Highness is a smart person, so you can’t waste your time thinking about unnecessary things. There’s no point in doing this. Your Highness can come back early.” After Lan Sou Yu sent the golden baht over, Concubine Guyi revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, “Are you telling me not to interfere in these matters?”

Lan Sou Yu nodded. Concubine Guyi thought for a while and said, “This palace loves money and has a way to take it. The Empress will not give up on this palace. Your Highness, please do your best. Who dares to take your things at this time?” Lan Sou Yu thought for a moment and immediately withdrew her hand. She smiled embarrassedly and gossiped with Concubine Guyi.

“I heard that Chen Chongyi is moving into Kunde Palace? That place is filled with dense Yin Qi. Chen Chongyi is already weak and sickly. Now, what does it mean for the Emperor to reconstruct Kunde Palace?” Lan Sou Yu asked. Concubine Guyi only smiled faintly and replied, “Do you know what it means to get ahead first? Chen Chong Yi is not an idiot.”

“She won’t help Bu Linglong?” Lan Sou Yu was very puzzled. She heard that Chen Chong Yi had a good relationship with Bu Ling Long. She had always been on the same level as Bu Ling Long. But now, she suddenly turned against him. Could it be because of an unreachable queen position?

Concubine Guyi nodded and said, “Actually, the people have gone crazy for this queen.”

“Even Li Chongyuan, Chen Chongyi, and Ning Guta are participating?” Her news was closed. At this time, the source was naturally asking Concubine Guyi. Concubine Guyi nodded and said, “The Emperor on Chen Chongyi’s side has already begun to agree. However, don’t worry, Your Highness. After all, this concubine is still biased towards Your Highness. As long as Your Highness has a good rest and recuperation, there is no need to worry about losing power.” Lan Sou Yu was in a good mood after saying a few words, “Li Chongyuan and the others?”

“But the mob, what’s so strange about Your Highness?”

“Then according to what Sister Yi Fei means, what should we do?” Lan Sou Yu asked. Concubine Guyi nodded and said, “How smart is Your Highness? Why are you saying this?” Lan Sou Yu nodded and looked at Concubine Guyi, “If this palace …”

“Your Highness, hurry up and wait for something. I’ll just wait for good news.” After Concubine Guyi finished speaking, he stood up and said, “Your Highness is not well. If those things happened, no one would doubt Your Highness, would they?” After he finished speaking, he smiled faintly.

Concubine Guyi walked out of Changle Palace. Qin’er had already walked over. The two of them found a secluded place to talk. After that, Qin’er nodded and left, arriving in Yunluan Palace.

“Master, Your Highness, you already have the letter. Lan Zhaoyuan will be unyielding for the position of Empress. It just so happens that she has fallen for Your Highness’ plan.” Qin’er said.

Linglong nodded and said, “Things have already started. I just hope that the concubines don’t drop their chains.”

Linglong went to bed early that night, The other concubines also went to bed early, Only Li Chongyuan had just crossed the beehip bridge. Originally, he was going to deliver lotus seed soup to the Emperor, but he was knocked unconscious by a person who rushed out. The Emperor waited left and right, but did not come. He was anxious and asked someone to summon him. However, he met Li Chongyuan on the way. The Emperor hurriedly asked the imperial physician to take a look at her injuries. After a few massages, Li Chongyuan had recovered. After she woke up faintly, she started crying.

“Did you see who hurt you?” Hui Qi asked.

Li Chongyuan had always been timid and muttered, “This concubine only pretends not to see or hear, right?” Hui Qi said angrily, “You are also so vague about the big matter of your life now. No wonder you didn’t take good care of the fetus in your stomach back then. Even your own life is not taken good care of, let alone the fetus in your stomach.” At this point, Li Chongyuan suddenly became furious and said, “Has this concubine said that the emperor will make the decision for this concubine? Just now, a martial artist stopped this concubine and knocked her maidservant unconscious. He then told her that it would be good if this concubine stayed away from the emperor. If not, it would be the same as a fetus in her stomach.”

“What are you talking about?” There were already two balls of flames in Hui Qi’s eyes.

“This concubine said, this concubine …”

“Hurry up and say–”

“Chenqie see is not a matter, hurriedly kneel to beg for mercy, as long as it is forgiving life, Chenqie is naturally far from the emperor. This person added, “Tell this concubine not to participate in the affairs of the empress. Otherwise, this concubine will die without a burial ground. This concubine is timid, but at that time, she still asked why?” The man said that if his concubine did not let go, Lan Zhaoyuan would still take his concubine’s life, just like how he had taken the life of a fetus in his concubine’s stomach back then. After he finished speaking, he began to cry. Huiqi walked over and comforted her gently, “Don’t worry, I will investigate the matter of the fetus.”

After Li Chongyuan cried for a while, it was fine. Huiqi couldn’t bear to look at Li Chongyuan’s crying expression and said, “Back then …”

‘”It’s not Concubine Heshu. Concubine Heshu is only going to die for the Empress and Lan Sou Yu. If such a person becomes the Empress, I’m afraid that his concubines and concubines will fall to their deaths for no reason in the future. His concubines are scared, his concubines are scared …” Li Chongyuan looked really scared. Not only did that fear manifest itself in body language, even tears began to fall down from his eyes.
