The First Empress - Chapter 272
Chapter 272 Go Out of the East Gate
“Your words tell me that you were entangled by General Han this morning and almost died of misfortune. Could it be a nonsense?” Huiqi’s eyes widened as he looked at Lan Sou Yu. Lan Sou Yu’s shoulders trembled slightly like a butterfly in the wind. She had no choice but to rely on her left and right.
When Linglong wanted to speak, Han Qi signaled Linglong not to speak. Han Qi stepped forward and said, “Why did Your Highness go with me? Could it be because I took the soldiers from Square City for my own use?”
Four Directions City?
The soldiers here were Lan Zhenglin’s, but after reforming, they were all brought under Han Qi’s command. If it was because of this, Huiqi’s thick eyebrows trembled slightly, and his wrinkled eyebrows were like an old silkworm. Linglong looked at Huiqi and then walked forward. “This concubine also remembered in a trance. It is naturally unnecessary to say that this concubine had an affair. However, the Emperor can carefully recall this matter, or he can answer the Ninth Concubine Empress’ sudden attack today.”
Linglong’s gentle, jade-like eyes looked over, slightly shocked, “Your Majesty …”
Huiqi reached out and held Linglong’s hand. “I wronged you. Lan Sou Yu, did you come from the real deal? Why did you interfere in wronging General Linglong Yu Han?” Lan Sou Yu was speechless. He hadn’t expected that he would actually throw such a difficult and complicated illness at him. “Your Majesty, has this concubine ever lied? It was indeed General Han who flew down from above in the morning-” Linglong was afraid that something would change. Hurriedly hinted at Han Qi ending earlier, Han Qi knew what she meant, He knelt in front of Huiqi and said, “Your Majesty, now that I have suffered this unclear injustice, I feel indignant in my heart, please give me justice, I fear that the truth, Your Majesty-” Linglong saw that Han Qi has knelt down, On the other side, he also knelt down, His sparkling eyes looked at Huiqi. This time, there were no tears in his eyes. There was a faint infant blue and a sharp thirst. “Your Majesty, this concubine did not have anything to do with anyone. Your Majesty, since you are clear, please clear my grievances.”
Lan Shuyu’s expression instantly turned ashen. Kowtowing repeatedly, “Your Majesty, this concubine has truly met General Han. General Han did arrive here this morning. Even if this concubine had a hundred guts, she would not dare to act recklessly. Your Majesty-” Lan Sou Yu said out of breath. At the critical moment, her eyes suddenly closed. She pretended to be unconscious. What Linglong was not afraid of was that Lan Sou Yu was unconscious. In the morning, she had already hit Lan Sou Yu. Now, she could only do the same. Another slap landed on her face. Immediately, Lan Sou Yu woke up and turned around.
Linglong’s palm, which was as pure as sheep fat jade, had just fallen from Lan Sou Yu’s face. Lan Sou Yu grasped her hands and said, “Concubine Yan, Your Highness, this concubine did not–”
“I know you don’t. After all, you don’t dare to bully a monarch. Even if you don’t have ten guts, you don’t dare to act rashly. There must be someone behind you. Tell me-” Linglong looked at Lan Sou Yu with a cold and arrogant gaze. Lan Sou Yu read a sense of revenge and pleasure in her eyes, a sense of vicissitudes and an inexplicable sadness. She hurriedly knelt down and said to Huiqi, “Your Majesty, these things are not nonsense …”
“Impudent, unfounded things I don’t allow you to say a second time, I ask you again, in the morning is there really someone, general han came to you to threaten you. Say it–“This is Huiqi’s last question, There was no way to deal with Lan Sou Yu in the past, This was a rare opportunity. Everyone knew how to push down the wall. After a while, a few concubines were already secretly discussing with each other. The topic naturally revolved around Lan Sou Yu. Lan Sou Yu had always made countless enemies. This time, there was an even greater opportunity for people to take advantage of. The few concubines outside were chattering.
Linglong glanced at the autumn sky outside. A few wild geese flew past the sky in the midst of Min Tian’s bleak moan. Just as Linglong lowered her head, she heard a wailing sound from Lan Suiyu. However, after the wailing sound passed, a wailing sound came from outside. Everyone couldn’t help but be surprised and looked outside. The door outside had already been knocked open. The first to enter was a person who was tied up all over. Behind him were two people dressed in embroidered clothes and clothes. They escorted this person in one after the other.
After arriving here, the Royal Guards cupped their hands to greet the crowd. Then, they kicked the person kneeling on the ground. “Don’t you know how to salute the Emperor when you see him?” This person hurriedly bowed. Before everyone could react, Linglong’s heart had gradually sunk. It was as if she had fallen from the sky to the bottom of the valley. Bit by bit, she had fallen and disappeared.
“This is?” Huiqi looked at the few people.
Although the people escorted in front were unkempt, they could tell that the clothes they were wearing were the general’s clothes, but much worse, This person’s face looked a little like Han Qi in front of him. Han Qi calmly rolled her sleeves and looked at this person. This person’s gaze fell from Han Qi to Lan Su Yu, who was kneeling on the ground. Then, she kowtowed to Lan Su Yu and bowed. For a moment, she was full of ugliness. Seeing this, Ling Long felt anxious and asked, “Could it be an assassin?”
The embroidered guard said, “He was originally caught outside Changle Palace. I don’t know what he did to steal chickens from dogs. Seeing that the clothes he was wearing were the color of a general, but the nameplate was a small school. This subordinate couldn’t understand why he pulled him in.” This person shouted at Huiqi wrongly. After he finished shouting, he looked at Lan Sou Yu. Lan Sou Yu did not say anything and walked over directly. She looked at the person in front of her doubtfully, and then gently stroked his face, as if he was a loving father stroking his son. Ling Long said, “Do you know this person, the Ninth Concubine Empress?” ”
Lan Sou Yu withdrew her hand. This person seemed to have taken a kind of tranquilizer medicine and no longer argued. Lan Sou Yu said, “This person looks like General Han Qi, doesn’t he?” After such a reminder, Huiqi nodded deeply and said, “This person is the one who impersonated Han Qi and flew down from the roof to assassinate you, isn’t he?” ‘”Your Majesty, you finally believe this concubine. This concubine is not lying. Your Majesty-this person flew down from the eaves in the morning to hurt this concubine, Your Majesty-” Lan Sou Yu cried out, wanting to cry first. Lan Sou Yu was different from Ling Long. Lan Sou Yu had tears in her eyes and cried out, “Your Majesty, you finally believe this concubine. I’m not lying.”
Linglong saw Lan Sou Yu’s subordinates consciously stretch out over her head and hold a hairpin. Before she could go forward, she saw Lan Sou Yu stab this person. It was right in her chest. This person twitched on the ground for a while before he died.
Huiqi said, “Why did you kill this person without asking? Why did you pretend to be General Han Qi, and why did you assassinate you? Since it was an assassination, there will definitely be no return, but why did you catch him?” ‘”Your Majesty, this concubine is furious, this concubine has lost her rationality for a moment. What the Emperor is worried about is that this concubine is too late.” Lan Sou Yu felt that she had made a mistake and turned around to wipe away her sorrowful tears.
Linglong smiled softly and said, “It’s not that it’s too late, right? The Ninth Concubine Empress should also pay attention to the most important question. Why did this person assassinate the Empress in the morning and only get caught at this time? Wasn’t he really afraid of wandering around in the clothes of a First Grade general?” Lan Shuyu did not expect so many things. She glanced at that person at this time and shouted in panic, “Call the imperial physician. Hurry up and call the imperial physician. Why are you all standing there in a daze?”
Shaling and the girls beside him hurriedly called the imperial physician.
Huiqi said, “Since you have failed, Calling the imperial physician was also a waste of time in drawing water from bamboo baskets. Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, I now understand the cause and effect. This person came here to assassinate you with makeup. As for why he didn’t assassinate you but fed you a piece of gold, I will hand it over to Imperial Guard Long to investigate. Please apologize to General Linglong Yuhan. Today’s matter will be written off. You can just stay calm in the future. ”
Lan Sou Yu hurriedly walked over and approached Ling Long’s side, “Your Highness, please forgive me. After all, I am a little younger, and my knowledge is extremely crude.” Linglong looked at Lan Shuyu and smiled, “Well said, well said, seeing without seeing is naturally like seeing lightning for a long time. However, you can’t indiscriminately take the wrong as the right, can you?” Lan Shuyu was embarrassed and hurriedly said, “Your Highness has taught me the right thing. I will definitely use this as a lesson in the future. In the future, I will not dare to stir up waves without any wind.”
Then she walked to Han Qi’s side. Han Qi had already turned around before she could speak. She did not care about Lan Su Yu’s apology at all. Lan Su Yu saw that she could only walk around Han Qi in three or two steps. Han Qi could not help but frown slightly, “What does the Empress want to do?”
Han Qi sneered, “Lord General Han, don’t forget this lowly person’s mistakes. Please forgive me.” “I don’t dare to trouble you, Your Highness. Your Highness has golden branches and jade leaves. I can’t.”
At this time, Eunuch Lu walked in from outside and approached the Emperor’s ear. After saying something, Huiqi’s expression changed slightly and he asked, “Is it true?”
Eunuch Lu nodded and Huiqi said seriously, “Follow me to the outside to talk.” Just as he took a step out, he turned his head and said, “General Han and Concubine Yan, please excuse me for a moment. The Ninth Concubine Empress has been thinking about this for a while.” After he finished speaking, he already dragged his feet and walked away. Linglong looked fiercely at Lan Sou Yu. Lan Shuyu also glared back fiercely. Linglong said, “Your Highness, it’s best not to attack first. This palace has never been the one to suffer the consequences. This palace believes that the best of times and the best of the earth have gathered around this palace. I hope Your Highness will be fine these few days so that the concubines will not fall into a trap. At that time, it won’t be my fault.” After giving the order, he stomped his feet and walked out.
Huiqi walked faster. Naturally, she didn’t hear Linglong’s fierce low curse. Seeing that Huiqi was in a hurry, Linglong and Han Qi knew that something unexpected had happened. They hurriedly followed Huiqi to the upper study. When Huiqi arrived at the upper study, they said, “Speak slowly and don’t alarm anyone.”
Eunuch Lu stretched out his hand and a few small inspectors came over to put down the gauze tent. Then he said, “Lan Zaifu has transported a large amount of firearms from Damascus. They are now placed in Baohua Alley outside. However, not a single person in Baohua Alley is a knowledgeable old horse. All of them will never return, Your Majesty.”
“Is this news true?” Huiqi asked. Eunuch Lu nodded his head and said, “It’s news from Imperial Guard Long. The leader of Imperial Guard Long probably won’t say something like that. What does the Emperor think is good?” Before Eunuch Lu could grow old, his eyebrows had already turned slightly pale. His entire body seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life after a long period of nodding and bowing. Huiqi said, “General Han, you should go to Baohua Alley tomorrow. You must find the firearms and then bring them out of the city to ignite them. Wherever you go, there will be no offense against the people. Do you understand?”
‘”Linglong, you went to Baohua Alley last time. Do you know the terrain? You also traveled with me–” she asked after she finished speaking.
Linglong’s heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley. After all, Huiqi was the Emperor. The ninth level of the Heavenly Heart was where the so-called Emperor’s heart was unfathomable. Linglong nodded and said, “This concubine is willing to go.”
Huiqi glanced at Han Qi and Linglong and said, “You can go tomorrow.” Han Qi nodded and retreated with Linglong. Linglong had just walked to the horizon where the clouds had already closed. There were stars in the sky that were clearly extinguished. Linglong looked at the stars that were clearly extinguished, as if she had seen her own future. It was unknown whether her life or death was in the depths of her beard to return.
