The First Empress - Chapter 271

Chapter 271 There Is Nothing Worse Than Apathy

Han Qi knelt down and approached Linglong before she raised her head. “I came a little late. Please apologize, Your Majesty.” Huiqi remained motionless. He looked at the screen in front of him. The ten thousand galloping horses carved on the screen were like the feelings in Huiqi’s heart at this moment. However, the ten thousand arrows fired at the same time were not accurate. He sighed and Huiqi turned around.

“Where were you this morning? Don’t you know what I asked you to do?” Han Qi’s noble and vulgar eyes fell over and locked them on her body. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “Where were you this morning? Do you not know what I asked you to do?” Huiqi’s tone became sharper and sharper. Han Qi looked at Huiqi and smiled calmly. “Does the Emperor want a glass of wine to release his military power? Or does he have ulterior motives? I’m just a small general. There’s no need for the Emperor to do this. If there’s anything I don’t do well, I just need to drag this subject to the noon gate to behead him. Why bother to mobilize the crowd?” Hearing this, Huiqi’s half-narrowed eyes suddenly opened. With a flick of his sleeve, he helped the jade goblet on the table to the ground. The wine bottle shattered as soon as it touched the ground, The wine splashed onto Lan Sou Yu’s cheeks. A shattered piece of jade slanted across Linglong’s cheek. As a result, a trace of red blood slowly oozed out from Linglong’s cheeks. Linglong seemed to be completely undecided and didn’t reach out to wipe it off. Huiqi sighed indifferently. Lan Sou Yu cried out in alarm. In an instant, the people outside heard her. The girls who entered were all stopped outside by Eunuch Lu.

Han Qi’s eyes were filled with pity. She held the hilt of the sword and said, “What does the Emperor mean?”

“The people you march with naturally know the truth. Tell me what you were doing in the morning.” Huiqi was enraged. His bell-like eyes were filled with burning flames. Han Qi finally understood what he meant and said, “This minister discussed Zihua Palace’s defenses with the Nine Gates Governor Yang this morning. Now, the Nine Gates Governor and Commander Jiang of the Ministry of Justice are testifying. If the Emperor doesn’t believe me, he can ask questions one by one.” Hearing this, Linglong’s heart stabilized a lot, so she reached out and gently wiped the blood stains off her cheeks.

Lan Sou Yu wanted to explode, but she resisted and said, “Wasn’t the general lying? In the morning, the general clearly-”

“This minister was in the Military Affairs Office this morning. Everyone can prove that this pavilion minister, Wang Ruquan, was also a witness. Your Majesty, if you listen to me, won’t it make me feel cold? Your Majesty will have all these people come over and ask about it, won’t you?” Han Qi argued hard. After a while, these people really came over. Commander Jiang and the others spoke in unison and told the Emperor what they were talking about in the morning. After hearing this, Huiqi said, “Do you know how to punish the crime of bullying the emperor?”

Lord Li of the Ministry of Justice was naturally clear. He said, “I’m just killing my head.”

Huiqi said seriously, “Aren’t you afraid?” Lord Li smiled faintly and said, “I’m not afraid. I’m not bullying you. Instead, I’m bullying you. She’s not afraid that you have anything to fear.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Lan Sou Yu who was kneeling on the ground. Lan Sou Yu’s face turned pale. She moved to Huiqi’s side and reached out to touch Huiqi’s dragon robe. “Your Majesty, I’m wronged. I didn’t bully you. I didn’t-”

Huiqi did not say anything. He gently pulled his sleeve and Lan Sou Yu rolled away. Ling Long glanced at Lan Sou Yu and then looked at Han Qi. Han Qi did not look at Ling Long, but Ling Long could notice that Han Qi’s afterglow was always looking at her. What exactly happened this morning …

Huiqi waved his hand, “Let Lord Li, Commander Jiang, and Wang Elder all be outside the hall. We will give you a good order.” After saying that, a few people followed suit. Han Qi knelt firmly like a big tree. Huiqi asked, “General Han, you are a general promoted by Concubine Yan. Now, someone has told me that you guys have an affair behind the Taihu Lake Stone. Do you have anything to say?” Han Qi looks at Huiqi, Lang Ran laughs loudly, “If you want to add a crime, there’s no need to worry. Since the Emperor has already believed it, don’t be a subject. Even if there are a hundred subjects, there’s no need to argue. It’s better to ambush them.”

Lan Sou Yu became complacent, and Huiqi said, “Alright, drag it down-decapitate-”

Han Qi only smiled faintly, She quietly kicked something beside her feet to Linglong’s hand. Linglong caught herself off guard and grabbed it. It turned out to be a knife. Linglong hid the small dagger in her sleeve and knelt quietly. These movements were done the moment Huiqi turned around, so Huiqi didn’t notice.

A few people walked over to Han Qi’s shoulders and was about to go outside, Han Qi did not explain at all, dragged to the door, Linglong suddenly licked her lips, want to stand up, but eager to try or kneel. Seeing Linglong like this, Huiqi asked, “What does Concubine Yan have to say?”

Linglong looked at Huiqi and said, “There’s nothing to say.”

Huiqi seemed to be very satisfied as he said, “Since there is nothing to say, even Concubine Yan dragged him out to behead him.” Eunuch Lu, who was beside him, was startled. He was completely stunned and looked at Linglong without knowing how to advance or retreat. Linglong merely smiled and closed her eyes.

On the other side, Han Qi did not say a word. The two of them looked at each other from afar. After a glance, Linglong lowered her head. Huiqi waved his hand, several people have dragged Han Qi out, exquisite this side is still no one dare to move, exquisite only feel calf numbness, stood up, and then prepared to approach Huiqi.

A man cried out miserably due to the pain from outside. Her exquisite eyes blinked, forcefully suppressing the pain and tears that were about to fall out of her eyes.

“The matter of General Han dying is over. I don’t care if you have an affair or not. From now on, I don’t want to hear anything about you betraying the Lord. Do you understand?” Linglong nodded. Originally, she wanted to explain, but she didn’t. She needed an opportunity now. This opportunity must be 100% capable of heavily injuring Huiqi. However, she could tell that an opportunity could be encountered but could not be sought. It was far from arriving.

“Why didn’t you save General Han just now?” Huiqi asked.

Linglong said indifferently, “If you want me to die, I have no choice but to die. General Han didn’t say a word of rebellion before he died. It can be seen that the emperor really made a mistake. The emperor killed General Han indiscriminately. He didn’t expect to die. He originally thought that he died on the battlefield, but he died under the emperor’s sword.”

Huiqi walked to Linglong’s side and looked at her. He reached out and pulled out a hairpin that had saved up beads from Linglong’s head. Then, he reached out and pulled out the other one that was weighed. He said, “Don’t wear these accessories in the future. I know that I have wronged you. I will compensate you. From tomorrow onwards, you can wear the Phoenix.” Linglong was not happy, but she still bowed slightly. “Thank you, Your Majesty.” .

“Thank you for your help. Look outside and you’ll know.” Linglong raised her eyes and looked out. It was actually Han Qi, Han Qi walked in from outside, His head was still on top of his head. Linglong was slightly surprised and calmed down. He already knew Huiqi’s character. He was treacherous. If he had stopped Han Qi earlier, he would have been killed together with Han Qi. Although this result was not expected, it was not unexpected to be honest.

“Do you still look unhappy?” Huiqi asked, “I was just joking with you. Don’t I know that my Linglong is wholeheartedly assisting my Dragon Court? As for that fornication, it’s just unnecessary.” After saying that, Huiqi looked at Linglong and asked, “Do you know that you are all very outstanding? You are both my right and left arms. How fortunate am I?”

“This concubine has already said that this concubine is a man who keeps his own peace. This concubine did not do anything harmful to the heavens, let alone do it. It is good that the Emperor knows what this concubine is thinking.” Linglong gritted her teeth and forced a smile. Even if she wasn’t happy, it was useless. She couldn’t help but pretend. Huiqi pointed at Han Qi and said, “I know you two have a friendship, but it’s not an affair. It seems like someone is spouting nonsense. I will appoint General Han to do something new tomorrow. General Han can leave first.” This sentence was a blatant expulsion order, But Han Qi didn’t take a step, Even his expression didn’t change at all. A joke just now almost killed two people. Han Qi said, “I dare to ask where the rumor maker is now, but he has been arrested or escaped. I didn’t touch Concubine Yan, so I naturally want to give justice to Concubine Yan.”

“Your Majesty, this concubine doesn’t want to speak too much, right? The Clear One will be clearer, right? Your Majesty, please make up your mind for this concubine. The Ninth Concubine Lan is just fabricating it out of thin air. This is slander, Your Majesty …” Linglong said with tears in her eyes as she glanced coldly at Lan Sou Yu’s body.

‘”What I saw with my own eyes is not slander. Your Majesty, please make the decision for me–” Lan Sou Yu was already crying as she spoke. Huiqi coldly said, “It’s slander to build a car behind closed doors. Did you see that? Even this kind of thing is casual nonsense. Do you still hope to be the Empress in the future? The throne of the Empress is still pending. My heart is in turmoil. I originally thought highly of you, but you really disappointed me. After saying that, Huiqi pointed to the front and said, “Even if I want to make peace with you this time, General Han won’t, will he?” You need to give General Han and Concubine Yan a reasonable explanation! ”

Linglong looked at Lan Sou Yu without any anger or pride, but she didn’t say a word. Lan Sou Yu’s face was inexplicably pale, as if a layer of snow was slowly pressing down on her face. “Your Majesty, I’m not lying. How dare I bully you?”
