The First Empress - Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Find Firearms

Linglong naturally didn’t want to sleep that night. She sat by the window at night, and it was already dark outside. The darkness entered the tall building. A bright candle lit in Linglong’s room wasn’t dark either. Beauty had her charm, and famous flowers had their beauty. It was like looking at a beauty under the moon.

A lamp was like a bean, and the exquisite figure landed on the window lattice, looking inexplicably beautiful.

Qiu Yue’s breeze was cold and her figure was uneven. Han Qi walked over from another room and said, “Hasn’t Your Highness slept yet?” Hearing Han Qi’s late-night visit, Linglong quickly blew out the candle and said, “This palace has already fallen asleep. If the general has something to do, just come tomorrow morning. If there is a difference between this palace and the general, then there is no need to leave the general behind.” After Linglong finished speaking, she sighed. The birds outside the window sounded intermittent. Han Qi sighed slightly and said, “Your Highness, I …”

“Impudent. Don’t be rude. What are you doing here?” As she spoke, Han Qi had already walked in. Linglong was a little afraid. She didn’t know why she was afraid. Han Qi walked in and slowly approached Linglong. “Your Highness, why don’t we go back? Let’s find a peach blossom garden. I’ll go into the mountains to pick herbs and fish in the water. You sweep the rocks and play the zither and roll up the curtains to see the cranes. Isn’t it good to be in the depths of the white clouds? Why should we go back?” “Your Highness, these are all words from the bottom of my heart. Your Highness should also be able to tell that the Emperor has set his heart on killing us this time. I’m guessing that I and Your Highness won’t be able to escape quickly. If you want to leave tomorrow, you’ll be dreaming. Your Highness is a smart person, you have to think about it clearly.”

How could Linglong not be clear about these things? Going into the mountains to pick herbs, Fishing in the water, Sweeping stones and playing zither, She rolled up the curtain and looked at the crane. Being in the depths of the white clouds was naturally a good thing, But there was still hatred in Linglong’s heart, Such hatred is generally incomprehensible, Linglong was afraid that Han Qi wouldn’t understand her words, He sighed heavily, “general, This palace’s child was killed by Lan Sou Yu, This palace is going to take revenge for Princess Yu Lai. This palace cannot leave the inner courtyard of the imperial palace just like this with the general. There is hatred in this palace’s heart. This palace is already a person who lives for hatred. As for what the general said about picking herbs in the mountains, fishing in the water, sweeping rocks and playing zither, rolling up curtains to look at cranes, this palace does not dare to think about it … ”

“Why? The deceased is over. Even if the Empress wants to take revenge, she should be fine or go back. But now, the Emperor clearly doesn’t want me and the Empress to live well.” As Huiqi spoke, he couldn’t help but stomp his feet anxiously. Linglong looked outside. Sand Village Bamboo, The moon frost-white, A faint moonlight was applied to the exterior wall of the inn like glue used in painting, After the curtains fell, a sweet smell came from the pine moon. Linglong tightened her sleeves and said, “The wind is late. General, go back early. I know that the future will be dangerous in the future, but I will still be the same as before. Since I started doing this, I have never thought of retreating completely. At worst, I will die quickly in the end.”

Han Qi sighed and said, “For the sake of the Empress’ wish to be realized as soon as possible and the great enmity to be avenged as soon as possible, I am willing to serve you without hesitation. I am also willing to sacrifice my life.” Linglong frowned as she listened to Huiqi’s words, “This time, I will definitely find a girl to betroth to the general with Empress Han Xiuyi after we return. Does the general have anything else to say now?”

‘”How can a general be without a wife? It’s just that there are many women in the world, and there isn’t a single person like her.” Han Qi said as she looked at Linglong. Although Linglong wasn’t luxurious today, she still looked like a faint moon shining through the clouds. Apart from being surprised, there was also curiosity on her face. She looked at Han Qi and asked, “Sure enough, you’ve already thought it through?”

Han Qi had already thought of it and nodded.

Linglong said, “This palace is just the body of a crippled flower defeating a willow, so why bother you …” Suddenly, Linglong thought of Xie Yunxiao. She didn’t know where Xie Yunxiao was at this time. She also said that she wanted to take him out of the palace. He …

Linglong clenched her fists tightly, allowing her willpower to slowly rise. She could not agree to him just because of these words. No, absolutely not.

Han Qi walked forward and Linglong retreated slightly. “General, don’t come over again. This palace and General …”

“There’s a difference between men and women?” Han Qi said, Han Qi took two steps forward and said, “The saying that men and women are different makes us look like strangers. Whether the emperor has spies or the emperor has already wanted to kill me to silence me, I don’t care anymore. Being able to stay with the empress all night is already a great kindness for me. I’m very happy. I wonder if the empress is also as happy as I am.” She hugged Linglong. She looked up at Han Qi with such a flawless face and did not resist. Han Qi’s embrace was so firm that Linglong was almost addicted to it. Han Qi lightly kissed Linglong’s face, which was so beautiful that it could not eat people. “I am willing to shatter her bones for Your Highness, Your Highness …”

Han Qi’s hand had already begun to unbutton Linglong’s clothes. Linglong knew that it wasn’t good, She hurriedly pushed Han Qi away. Her red face was already pale white. This kind of white color was indescribably fierce. She shook her head and said, “General Han, our courtesy must not be lost. General is a wise man who can’t overstep his duty. Tomorrow, you will have to go with the general to find a good place to store firearms. General can’t make a mistake.” As Linglong spoke, she approached the corner of the room. Han Qi saw that Linglong was a little spoiled, and she felt even more impulsive. She hugged Linglong again and said, “Your Highness, I am willing to shatter my body for your pink bones. After tonight, I will definitely not leave this place alive with your Highness. Why won’t Your Highness let me …”

“Han Qi–” Linglong hurriedly retreated and grabbed a vase in her hand. “General Han, you can’t do this. This palace!”

“Your Highness, only I can take Your Highness out of the Longtan Tiger’s den. Your Highness is tired tonight, so I’ll take my leave first.” Han Qi said as she pulled her steps away and prepared to leave. Linglong looked at Han Qi’s back and walked away bit by bit. Only then did she sigh and gently put the vase on the table.

Linglong felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. There was no way to describe that feeling, After a long silence, Linglong reached out and wiped the vase. She was actually exactly the same as this Yaozhou porcelain vase. It looked so pure and perfect outside, but only she knew that she was already covered in scars and could not bear any burden.

Linglong stretched out her hand and buttoned up the button that Han Qi had just unbuttoned. She stared blankly at the red candle in front of her. The tears of the red candle had already burned more than half. She shrugged and fell into the silver plate below. Soon, a little candle tears gathered in the silver plate.

Linglong was looking at the candle when she suddenly heard a loud noise. It was likely that General Han had returned. Linglong hurriedly used her hand to protect her chest. “Who is it?”

A man walked over from the darkness. His figure changed from darkness to light. It was as if the sun had shone into the dawn from the morning sky. It was difficult not to see the dazzling light. “Yunxiao–Big Brother?”

Xie Yunxiao walked to Linglong’s side and said, “Sister Bu, you’ve suffered.”

Linglong had always thought that she was neither happy nor worried, nor hurried, and even her temper was neither scorched nor irritable. However, when she saw Xie Yunxiao, all of this suddenly disappeared. She rushed over and hugged Xie Yunxiao tightly, “Brother Yunxiao, it’s good that you’re here, Linglong is so scared.”

“With Big Brother Yun Xiao here, you don’t need to be afraid. Whether it’s the Dragon Pool Tiger’s den or the Blade Light Sword Shadow, I will stand in front of you. I will stand in front of you.” After Xie Yunxiao finished speaking, she gently hugged Linglong. Linglong’s stiff body became much softer and she threw herself into Xie Yunxiao’s embrace. The two of them were hugging each other like a side-by-side lotus flower.

Xie Yunxiao stretched out his hand to touch Linglong’s black and soft head. Linglong allowed Xie Yunxiao to touch it. After a long time, Xie Yunxiao said, “All the firearms are placed in the Wang Ji coffin shop not far from downstairs. The coffins in this coffin shop are full of firearms. You must go there and investigate them properly.” Linglong nodded her head with tears in her eyes. Xie Yunxiao said, “The Emperor is ready to take Han Qi’s life. You guys should take care of yourselves.” Hearing this, Linglong clenched Xie Yunxiao’s sleeves tightly. “Really?”

Xie Yunxiao patted Linglong and said, “Of course it’s true. I went to the palace the night before yesterday to hear the Emperor let Blood Drop kill Han Qi. However, you need to wait until Han Qi seals the firearm. Blood Drop, you know it. It definitely won’t be impossible for you to do such a small thing.”

“Is there any room for salvation?” Linglong’s slender eyebrows knitted slightly, and her pair of shiny black eyes flashed. Xie Yunxiao heavily sighed and said, “The Emperor means that if you protect Han Qi, you will be killed. You just have to do it yourself.”

Linglong’s eyes, which often shone brightly, suddenly dimmed. “Is there a way–”

After Xie Yunxiao finished speaking, he heavily sighed and said, “Sister Bu, aren’t you naive enough to see fewer open and secret battles over the years? The Emperor said that if you die at three o’clock, how can you keep people until five o’clock?”

Linglong’s delicate and elegant face suddenly turned a lot paler. She raised her head and said, “I’m going to tell General Han to be on guard.” After he finished speaking, he was about to walk away. Xie Yunxiao grabbed Linglong and said, “Do you think Han Qi wouldn’t show up to protect you if she knew that it was a stranger?” Linglong, I have to tell you this properly, From beginning to end, you may be the only one who is still in the dark. When I heard the news in the palace yesterday, the person standing beside me was General Han Qihan. The reason why he advised you to leave is … because the Emperor said that you can only return alive, alone … ”

Linglong felt as if she had heard a calamity. The golden phoenix on her head was so heavy that she almost couldn’t breathe. She felt that it was so heavy that she couldn’t breathe. Linglong looked at Xie Yunxiao and asked with certainty, “Does that mean General Han wants to die for me?”

“You can see Han Qi’s benevolence and righteousness. I’m afraid that the scene of the countryside that he spoke of will never come true in the future-” Xie Yunxiao said as he supported Linglong. Linglong almost fainted. She almost lost her life just because Han Qi had arrogated the etiquette. Linglong forcefully suppressed the dizziness and the pain in her chest that was about to come out of conflict. She said, “The Emperor actually doesn’t want to believe in concubines like this, Your Majesty!” “Your Majesty …” Linglong Tan’s mouth trembled slightly. Xie Yunxiao watched Linglong’s teeth bite down on her lips. The bright red light was as dazzling as the sun. Xie Yunxiao hurriedly patted Linglong, “You can cry. Your Majesty is already a heartless person. You should have known this long ago.”
