The First Empress - Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Why Should the Pearl Comfort Loneliness

Linglong reached out to cover Han Qi’s eyes. She suddenly felt very weak. It was as if her entire body had been sucked away by someone. However, she still carried Han Qi’s corpse onto the horse’s back. It was said that it was deathly heavy, but Linglong did not feel heavy, nor did she feel any pain.

Under the setting sun tree, Shanyue Jiangyan, Linglong led the green horse out of Baohua Alley. She stood upright. Yan Yan was as independent as a lone pine. When she walked outside, she leaned closer to Han Qi’s ear. “This palace searched for a long time last night but couldn’t find the general. If I could come back again, this palace would agree to stay with the general. It’s fine if I don’t avenge him. But now, this palace will avenge the general. General, rest in peace.”

Linglong knew that this world was full of open and secret battles, full of deceit. To be a man, he had to bear a stiff bowel, and to be a woman, he had to bear a stiff bowel. Otherwise, he would have to be hardworking. If she wanted to live well, there were already too many needless bloodshed and sacrifices. Linglong did not want to see more life and death parting. For the sake of a great battle, Linglong had already decided to seal all of her worries in an unknown corner. She wanted to retaliate, she had to retaliate constantly …

Linglong returned to the palace. Before they could reach the palace, A large group of people had already greeted Linglong from Xuanwu Sect to Wu’an Sect, Linglong walked to the front in a standard that was similar to the etiquette of a son of heaven. Linglong’s entire body seemed to be carrying a kind of light spiritual energy. Her skin was tender and tender as she faced the morning sun. He had a leisurely look on his face. Her beautiful eyes looked forward to a resolute wave, Without looking around, He walked straight to the front, Huiqi and his concubines greeted Linglong at the Yellow Gate. Seeing Huiqi, Linglong immediately bowed to Huiqi with a smile on her cheeks. After everyone saw each other, Huiqi said, “Yesterday, I heard that the sound of the cannons in Baohua Alley shook the heavens and the earth. It was the start of a thunderclap. I was delighted to hear it. Last time, I said I would give you a golden phoenix. This time, I will never go back on my word.” Linglong didn’t say anything but sighed slightly. She couldn’t tell from Linglong’s face that she was overjoyed for the rest of her life. It was as if what had happened yesterday was nothing more than a blur. Everything had gradually faded away. Her heart was as firm as a rock. Linglong was as angry as an orchid. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Huiqi stretched out his hand and lifted a tray of Hundred Treasures in Eunuch Lu’s hand. Then, he slowly brought it to Huiqi’s hand. Huiqi held the golden phoenix inside and decorated it with the exquisite green silk. Linglong smiled and her cheeks were indescribably gentle and lovely.

Her skin was better than snow, This golden phoenix was even more lifelike, It was as if he was going to fly up to the nine heavens, Huiqi looked at Linglong. I just feel that it’s incredibly beautiful, Linglong reached out and stroked the golden phoenix. This golden phoenix is a symbol of power and honor, Baizhan wore golden armor, Once his merits were reduced to ten thousand bones, Linglong was the only one who had returned, No matter how sad she was, she couldn’t show it. Linglong’s eyes were like clear water as she looked at Huiqi’s face. ‘”Thank you, Your Majesty. It’s just that General Han and General Han’s followers were completely annihilated in this battle. Please take good care of the families of the deceased. In the past, Your Majesty used to say that this dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Now that it’s time to admire them, Your Majesty must not disappoint the families of these people.”

After Linglong finished speaking, Half kneeling, As Huiqi looked around, he discovered the wound on Linglong’s hand. This was the wound that Linglong had pulled out when she forcefully pulled back the reins of her horse. Linglong herself did not notice that it had already been pulled to such a state. When the concubines saw Linglong’s injuries, they looked at each other. Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and said, “Let the imperial physician take a good look. Concubine Yan’s hand injuries are so serious that he needs to be even more diligent in the future.”

‘”Your Majesty, General Han’s corpse is still on the back of a green horse outside the Xuanwu Sect. Please, Your Majesty, bury the general–” Linglong did not disobey Huiqi’s wishes. She followed everyone inside the Yunluan Palace one after another and said, “Your Majesty, General Han’s corpse is still on the back of a green horse outside the Xuanwu Sect.”

Hearing this, Huiqi relaxed his eyebrows and said, “I will bury General Han in the Dingling Mausoleum. Don’t think about other people. Look at your own palm.” This was the first time Linglong had looked at her palm since she came back. He didn’t expect that he would be covered in wounds like this, Lei Lei’s red blood beads had already scabbed up one by one. Linglong didn’t feel any pain. At this time, the imperial physician had already arrived. A few people rushed over to apply medicine to Linglong, Linglong said softly, “It’s not painful. It’s already a great fortune to be able to come back. General Han was in a state of war. I didn’t expect that in the end, there would still be a man who came and went naked. I hope the Emperor will take good care of General Han’s future affairs. This concubine and concubine also feel much better.” After saying that, Linglong smiled slightly. Huiqi said, “I know what you are thinking. I also know that there are some things that I have no choice but to do. I will take care of them properly. Don’t worry about that.”

Linglong nodded. She had just wrapped her hands around the sand belt. At this time, Lai Xi and the Crown Prince walked in. “Xi He kowtowed to Bu Mother. Bu Mother, don’t do anything to her. I will take good care of Mother so that I can do my best.” The Crown Prince of Xi He had a bird’s nest in his hand. Linglong smiled and said, “The Crown Prince has grown up.”

Xi He and the Crown Prince’s eyes fell. The two of them laughed at the same time. Linglong took a bite of the bird’s nest that Xi He and the Crown Prince handed over and said, “Mother Concubine will remember that you have mastered the Dao of Man and Child in front of Mother Concubine. From now on, you will come to Yunluan Palace often.”

Seeing how sensible Xi He was, Huiqi was naturally overjoyed. He said, “Xi He and the Crown Prince have talked about it every day and said that he is willing to send troops to suppress the Chaotic Party. I only managed to persuade Xi He a few times. Since you have returned, this is the best thing that can happen.”

Linglong nodded and said with a smile, “The Crown Prince has grown up.”

“Go out first,” said Huiqi. “I have something to say to you, Mother.” When the Crown Prince and Xi He heard this, they hurriedly retreated. Linglong leaned against Huiqi and said, “I almost thought I wouldn’t be able to return. In the future, I would like to take good care of the Emperor …” Huiqi grabbed the green silk hanging from Linglong’s shoulder and said, “It’s good to be able to return. It means General Han has done his best to protect you. I’m very relieved.” Linglong smiled and looked at Fang’s cold and arrogant eyes, saying, “When General Han is in his funeral, this concubine wants to go over and take a look.”

Huiqi’s eyes clearly flashed with displeasure. Linglong quickly changed her words, “This concubine is just taking a look. After all, General Han died young to protect the country and his concubines. This concubine is worried.” Huiqi looked at Linglong. Linglong’s eyes seemed to possess a soul-captivating state, and people couldn’t help but be confused. Even if the request she made was wrong, Huiqi would still agree to it.

“Alright, then I also want to take a look.” Linglong shook her tongue, forcefully suppressing the bitterness and said, “This concubine thanks the Emperor on behalf of General Han.” Huiqi gently patted Linglong’s shoulder and listened to her spit out words like pearls.

Linglong’s voice was soft and crisp, “When will the Emperor hold a funeral for the general?” “Tomorrow,” said Huiqi. “Today, I will let Supervisor Li decide on a good location.”

Linglong looked at Huiqi carefully and said, “Alright.” Huiqi would see Linglong looking at him innocently. He did not understand why Linglong would still reveal such a pure smile that was indifferent to the world. Her delicate and naughty cheeks quickly flushed red.

“Why is the Emperor looking at this concubine?” Huiqi smiled and said, “I just think you look better.” Linglong hated Huiqi so much that she gnashed her teeth. However, her face was still watertight. She gently stroked the Coiling Dragon Embroidery on Huiqi’s shoulder. “This concubine feels that the Emperor’s disappearance every day is like three autumn.” Huiqi smiled and said, “Take a good rest and change into a new dress. I will come over at night.” Linglong could only send Huiqi away with a smile, revealing a look of leaning against the door and looking back. Looking at Linglong’s beautiful face, Huiqi couldn’t help but smile and say, “I’ll be here tonight. You should have a good rest.” Linglong gracefully blessed, “Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off.”

Huiqi left.

Qin’er and Li Sheng walked over. Linglong’s expression also changed drastically. After Linglong asked them to find a slightly brighter dress for her, Linglong put on her makeup in front of the mirror. Hongyan flicked her fingers, but Linglong did not see the changes she had undergone in the past seven years from the mirror. There was a saying among the people called “Seven Years Itch”, which meant that the two people who had a good relationship stuttered after seven years. Linglong did not expect that she and Huiqi would be so seemingly divorced, and each of them would have their own misfortune.

“Your Highness is so happy to be able to come back safely. This servant thought that Your Highness-Your Highness would not be able to come back.” Qin’er helped Linglong dress up, Linglong held Qin’er’s hand. “This palace can come back all relying on general han qi han, If General Han hadn’t died to help this palace, This palace has long since turned into mud, How could I have such good luck to talk to you? This saber is the last thing in front of General Han. Please give it to Empress Han Xiuyi and say, “Linglong gently stroked the blood stains on the saber while saying,” I’m sorry, General Han. I don’t have any unforgettable kindness towards General Han-”

Qin’er couldn’t figure out why Linglong spoke like this. She lowered her body slightly and sighed after a long time. “You just go. Imperial Concubine Han Xiuyi will understand.” Qin’er was about to leave, but Linglong stopped her and said, “The Emperor will come tonight. You know what to do, don’t you?” Qin’er nodded and disappeared at the door.

Li Sheng walked over to help Qin’er comb her hair. Qin’er said, “Fallen horse bun.” Li Sheng hurriedly pulled Linglong’s green silk up above her head-she put on a Fallen Horse Trent bun. Linglong nodded in satisfaction and reached out to hold Li Sheng’s hand. “You are the person beside the former Empress. It is truly a blessing for me to be able to serve this palace so faithfully-”

Li Sheng only smiled, “Your Highness, you are different from the previous Empress. It is servant’s fortune to be able to serve you.” Linglong shook her head and said, “Lan Sou Yu–”

Li Sheng had already secretly paid attention and said, “Lan Sou Yu has been grounded by the Emperor for the past few days and hasn’t left the house for a long time. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with her.” Linglong nodded.
