The First Empress - Chapter 277
Chapter 277 Change Of Temperament
After a while, Qin’er had already arrived. Linglong waved her hand to Linglong’s side. Linglong asked, “How is Empress Han Xiuyi?” Qin’er handed over the dagger that Linglong had sent over untouched. “Empress Han Xiuyi said that grief is greater than death. Please keep General Han’s belongings and let her feel sorry for her. She can’t cry anymore.” It seemed that Han Xiuyi knew about Han Qi’s relationship with Linglong. Linglong suppressed the pain in her heart when she heard this and said, “This palace will naturally be fine, but pity Han Xiuyi …”
Qin’er saw that Linglong’s expression was unpleasant, She hurriedly handed Linglong a cup of hot water for her to take a sip. But before Linglong could drink, a person walked in. That person was as handsome as pearls and jade. It turned out to be the Crown Prince of Xi He. Linglong had just finished washing up and stood up. The Crown Prince of Xi He came over to kneel on the ground and handed over the bird’s nest in his hand. Linglong said, “You all can go down. I and Xi He are fine.”
After all the maids left, Linglong walked in front of Xi He and the Crown Prince and helped him up. “This son greets Mother Concubine Bu.”
Linglong helped Xi He up and said, “There’s no need for such a big bow. Get up and talk.” Xi He looked at Ling Long’s inconvenience and said, “Your son dares to feed Mother Concubine. Is Mother Concubine okay?” Linglong was shocked. The Crown Prince of Xi He actually wanted to feed her?
Linglong forcefully suppressed her anger. “How can the Crown Prince’s golden body feed this palace? If the Crown Prince sits down, then this palace will naturally eat by itself. The Crown Prince should have a good chat with this palace.” Only then did the Crown Prince of Xi He put away his frivolous appearance and said, “Your Majesty’s return this time is full of dangers. Is Your Majesty willing to help Your Majesty realize what Your Majesty said in the beginning step by step?” Crown Prince Xi He knew how powerful Linglong was, so he said, “If you can’t …”
“There’s nothing you can’t do. I can give you a final shortcut. As for whether you will go or not, it’s your own business. I can’t do anything about it. Just remember this sentence.” After Linglong finished speaking, she patted Pai Xi and the Crown Prince and said, “Mother Concubine is your mother Concubine. Do you understand the reason why Mother Concubine can let you go to that high-ranking position? Naturally, she can also let you climb high and lose weight. Do you understand?” The Crown Prince of Xi He naturally understood. Linglong was so powerful that she naturally did not dare to act rashly. She repeatedly kowtowed on the ground. Linglong smiled and said, “It’s good that you understand. Now that you need to eradicate Lan Sou Yu, do you have any good methods?”
Xi He and the Crown Prince frowned and thought for a while. Looking at Linglong’s face, he said, “Your son has a shallow and crude knowledge, but there is no other way. Please, Mother, tell me two ways, so that your son can …”
Linglong knew that Xi He and the Crown Prince were still worried about her, so she said, “There’s no need to say for the time being. The Empress Mother needs to rest well these few days and then act like a perfect plan.” The Crown Prince of Xi He knew that Ling Long was giving the order to expel him, so he nodded and left. When Ling Long saw that Xi He had left, she said, “Qin’er, bring me some ink, ink, paper, and inkstone.”
Linglong waited. Qin’er brought over the four treasures of the study and grinded the ink. After that, she asked, “Does Your Highness want to write a letter or something? This servant can prepare papers for Your Highness.” Linglong’s beautiful face was a faint smile, but this smile was something that everyone could see. It was filled with exhaustion and unspeakable pain. After a long time, Linglong recovered from the wooden sculpture and said, “Bring over all the couplets and the paper of the letter.” Qin’er took these things over. Linglong first wrote a letter in Yang Hao’s small pen. The letter said that she would return to the palace safely. This was a letter to Xie Yunxiao. After Linglong finished writing, she said, “Take the flying pigeon to pass the letter.” Qin’er hurriedly left. Linglong separated the white paper and began to write a couplet.
This is the couplet that will be given to Xie Yunxiao tomorrow. “Feng Chen is good at sickness, and there is a green mountain lying on his pillow.”
It is said that the Dingling Mausoleum of Dingshan Mountain will not melt and melt ice all year round, After Linglong finished writing, a person behind her clapped her hands. Linglong was surprised. She hurriedly turned her head. Seeing that it was Huiqi, Huiqi looked at Linglong’s beautiful face with a surprised expression. She hurriedly patted Linglong’s shoulder. Linglong rebuked, “Why did the Emperor not greet her? It surprised this concubine a little.”
Huiqi’s sharp eyes could not be looked at. He first looked at Linglong, then at the couplet, and then smiled, “Only I can enter here. Is there anyone else? What do you have to be afraid of?” Linglong thought for a moment and frowned, “Yes, but I’m still scared.”
Huiqi smiled and held the couplet in his hand. He looked at it and said, “What a good illness. There is a green mountain lying on the pillow.”
Seeing that Huiqi was interested in couplets, Linglong said, “It’s just a couplet, okay? Next, it means it’s the best. I think General Han should also be more … more understanding of this palace’s suspense.” After saying that, Linglong sighed and Huiqi held Linglong’s hand. “Why are you sighing again?” The block in Linglong’s heart was like a knot in a knot, tightly clumped together, unable to be pulled off.
“There’s no reason. It’s just hurting the spring and sorrowing the autumn. Has the Emperor come over at this time and eaten something?” Linglong suddenly asked, and Hui Qi said, “I haven’t eaten.” “Linglong said,” Coincidentally, I haven’t eaten yet. How about the Emperor and I have a simple meal together? ” Huiqiong was naturally overjoyed. At this time, the Imperial Cuisine Room had already sent over dinner. Linglong wanted to take a look at the dinner in the kitchen, She stood beside a plate of delicacies, He took out the paper bag in his hand and said, Her fingers suddenly trembled. She didn’t know whether she should or shouldn’t. Her rationality told her that she should immediately sprinkle the medicinal powder left behind by Xi and the Crown Prince into Hui Qi’s food. However, there was an inexplicable tug on her emotions. In the end, Linglong sighed and put the medicinal powder away.
Huiqi had already begun to eat when he came out, Linglong accompanied him. After a while, Linglong looked at the sky and saw that it was already late. Knowing that Huiqi’s not leaving tonight, Thus, Qin’er tidied up the bed and sat down with Huiqi. Linglong was thinking of a perfect way to make Qin’er and her Li Dai stiff. Coincidentally, Qin’er was already under the quilt. Linglong took this opportunity to bring Huiqi to the inner hall and then extinguished the candles.
Huiqi went to bed, Qin’er closed her eyes. Because her voice was no different from Linglong’s, the Emperor didn’t notice anything different in the long run. Linglong was also uncomfortable. In fact, she was not willing to sacrifice anyone, but when it was necessary, anyone should be sacrificed. Linglong did not know what kind of person she had become, but she needed to walk such a thorny path of no return.
The next day, as usual, the Crown Prince went back to the exquisite Yunluan Palace. Linglong finally remembered what happened yesterday. Sure enough, the Crown Prince had already begun to ask. Linglong asked who had sent these medicines. Xi He said to the Crown Prince, “It is naturally Empress Han Xiuyi of the Shanggong Bureau who was able to make such odorless and tasteless medicines. Empress Han Xiuyi was also enraged because of General Han’s matter. This medicine was personally delivered by the Empress.” Linglong did not comment. The Crown Prince asked Linglong two or three times, but nodded vaguely.
As he spoke, Han Xiuyi actually went to Yunluan Palace. Linglong saw Han Xiuyi coming, His heart was filled with sorrow and joy, Sadly, when she saw Han Xiuyi, she naturally thought of Han Qi, Han Qi was about to be buried this afternoon when she saw Han Xiuyi’s uncomfortable heart, happy that Han Xiuyi still didn’t vent her anger on her, Linglong saw that Han Xiuyi was going to bow down, so she hurriedly supported her, Han Xiuyi couldn’t see whether her expression was sad or not, but her actions were so calm.
Linglong said, “I have done my best to deal with General Han. Life and death are destined to be rich and honorable. Please don’t be sad, Your Highness.” Han Xiuyi was slightly stunned. However, he quickly regained his usual expression. “This servant knows that my brother shouldn’t covet the Empress. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a thing. However, since it has already happened, this servant is not afraid. The medicine this servant gave to the Empress is diamond powder. This medicine …” Linglong vaguely heard of it there, but she couldn’t remember. She nodded and said, “This, I know.”
Han Xiuyi said, “It will be effective in about half a month. Your Highness, be careful not to eat it yourself during this half a month. Otherwise, even if Golden Immortal Daluo is alive, it will not be able to save Your Highness’ life.” Linglong nodded slightly, and Han Xiuyi left after saying something else.
The Crown Prince of Xi He was delighted and said, “Mother, let’s begin now. Make sure that the Emperor controls Bin Tian one day earlier. Then the world will be ours.” Linglong always felt that the matter of diamond powder was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a while, she finally remembered it and became alert.
What happened that time …
Seeing Linglong Xuanmei, Crown Prince Xi He said, “Mother, are you still hesitating?” Linglong looked at the Crown Prince and said indifferently, “Mother Concubine may have thought wrong, but Mother Concubine would rather think wrong. Mother Concubine will take care of this matter. You should go back early.” After Linglong finished speaking, she gently waved her wide-robed sleeve and left.
Just as Linglong was about to enter the inner hall, Qin’er had already handed over a snow-white pigeon. Linglong smiled happily. This must be Xie Yunxiao’s letter. After Linglong took the letter in her hand and read it, she hurriedly burned it. At this time, Qin’er walked over and laid down the blankets for Linglong.
“Your Highness seems to be different this time. Servant doesn’t know what’s wrong, but she always feels like a different person.”
“Right now, I can be said to be a person of two generations. As expected, I have changed. Only you can see that.” Linglong sighed and said, “Which direction did you see Maid Han coming from today?”
Qin’er frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, “This servant only saw that she came from the other side of the beehive bridge. I think-I think she came from the other side of the Changle Palace.” Linglong nodded in agreement.
