The First Empress - Chapter 278
Chapter 278 Do Not Teach Humadu Yin Mountain
Linglong passed through grace and went to Dingshan. Here, flowers and trees were everywhere, and the mountains and rivers were swaying with heavy frost. It was already late autumn and the season of all things withering away.
Not only Linglong, Even Huiqi came here personally, Just buried yesterday, On the back of Ding Ling Mountain was Rou Ran, on the other side was the huns, Ling Long knew what Huiqi meant. Huiqi buried Han Qi here on the one hand to intimidate the khan and the leader of their country, on the other hand, to prevent people from stealing. Since ancient times, there had always been graves that hadn’t been buried. Huiqi was also afraid of doing bad things out of kindness, so he chose to bury Han Qi here.
Linglong saw the tall wall of the tomb outlining her own couplet with mud. Feng Chen was good at illness, and there was a green mountain lying on the pillow. Years passed and thousands of white snows appeared in the sun. These words looked cold and fierce, just like steel. There was an inexplicable chill in them.
At this time, Linglong seemed to hear Han Qi’s voice. Han Qi said, “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.” Han Qi’s words were filled with pleading and helplessness, but Linglong did not agree to Han Qi at that time. She only wanted to agree to Han Qi later, but it was already too late. Life was often like this. One second before she could say anything, the next second after she said it, it was already too late–
It’s too late.
Huiqi walked over and pointed at the huge tomb wall in front of him. “General Han was personally promoted by you. The scholar-bureaucrats love money and the scent of books turns into a stench of bronze. I don’t like the scholar-bureaucrats the most. Only General Han dares to look at me angrily. I didn’t expect General Han to die so young.” Linglong looked at the tomb wall and clenched her fingers. Her fingernails were almost embedded in her palm. There was a tall mulberry tree in front of the tomb. He suddenly supported the mulberry tree and said, “General Han died well. Your Majesty, don’t blame yourself.” Huiqi nodded and sighed, “It’s windy outside. Why don’t we go back first?” Linglong raised her glass and said, “Since she has already come, the tea and wine ceremony is still indispensable. This concubine drinks a cup of wine for the general.” As they spoke, they already spilled the wine in their hands on the ground in front of them. After Linglong finished drinking, Huiqi also poured wine for Han Qi. The two of them were about to leave when they suddenly saw Han Xiuyi and her family dressed in filial piety.
Originally, Han Qi had a younger sister, and her family walked over with such a mighty manner. It was truly not to be underestimated. They came like a python pressing down on the ground. They came to the side of the Emperor and Linglong, bowed to Linglong and the Emperor, and then left. Linglong’s heart was filled with bitterness. If it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t be such a thing happening. Seeing Han Xiuyi crying sadly, Linglong hurriedly walked over and supported Han Xiuyi. “Your Highness can’t be revived. Don’t cry until you’re dead. Your Highness must be more open-minded.”
A little girl kneeling on the ground looked at Linglong with a malicious look in her eyes. Linglong raised her eyes slightly and said, “Everyone, don’t cry. After all, a person can’t be resurrected after death.” Han Xiuyi nodded and said, “This servant will definitely not let the criminals go unpunished for the rest of her life. This servant’s heart is extremely sad because my younger brother died before he died.” After comforting her for a while, Linglong left on her own.
At this time, there seemed to be a black murderous aura in the western sky. At first, Linglong thought it was a dark cloud. She didn’t care at all. Not long after Linglong returned to the palace, she realized that it wasn’t a dark cloud at all. Instead …
These things happened without the slightest warning, so much so that there was no beginning in the entire palace.
The pine winds curled up, and flowers began to rain one after another.
After finishing the last flower, there were no more petals left to fall, Linglong stared at the last flower falling from the trees in the atrium. At this time, a loud noise came from outside. Linglong was puzzled. A group of people had already walked in. The first person was not wearing the same clothes as her dynasty. When Linglong stared, it was Prince Tuoba Rui of the Western barbarians.
I haven’t seen you in four years, The prince looked a little better now, She was wearing a piece of golden armor. The gemstones on the armor were dazzling in the sunlight. Linglong followed the dazzling armor and saw the feet. A pair of golden shoes on her feet had already walked into the inner courtyard. Linglong smiled and looked at Tuoba Rui. “The Prince came all the way here. It’s my fault for not being able to meet him.”
“Fortunately, but I don’t dare to do so. Your Highness is the body of a golden branch and jade leaf. Now, she is promoted to Concubine Yan. This official greets Your Highness.” As she spoke, she immediately knelt on the ground. Linglong smiled and helped Tuoba Rui up. Because the marriage between the two of them was handled by Linglong, Linglong was even more sympathetic to Tuoba Rui, even a little friendly.
As for why Tuoba Rui had only returned once after so many years of kissing, Linglong had naturally reminded him. Linglong told Tuoba Rui that if he wasn’t careful of Concubine De, he would be ruined. Therefore, Tuoba Rui didn’t dare to forget it.
Linglong was about to ask where Princess Zhenxi was now, Princess Zhenxi had already walked out from behind. The current Princess Zhenxi was already a half-grown woman. Her pair of agile eyes looked at Linglong slyly. Linglong felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly remembered that when Princess Zhenxi left, she fiercely told herself that she would come back to take revenge. Linglong did not expect to face Princess Zhenxi now.
Princess Zhenxi was no longer what she used to be, She was wearing a light green long skirt that was covered in the color of wind and dust. It was not easy to pass it all the way from the desert to Guanshan. Even the pale blue purple-gold flowers embroidered on the sleeves of her clothes were covered in dust. After four years of living in the desert, Princess Zhenxi’s face had already turned red-yellow.
Princess Zhenxi wore a tassel on her head casually. She walked in front of Linglong and bowed down. “This official daughter, Zhen Xi, has seen Imperial Concubine Yan. I don’t want to see that Imperial Concubine Yan has become so powerful in a few years. This official daughter hasn’t returned for several years. I don’t know what happened, but this official daughter’s mother has already turned into a pile of bones in the wilderness. Now, this official daughter has a national disaster to return to and a family.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but cry, But Zhenxi was a strong person, She forcefully held back her tears, Linglong Lianang took out her handkerchief and wiped Zhenxi’s eyes. Zhenxi looked at Linglong and said, “I didn’t expect that Imperial Concubine Yan would become younger and more beautiful after not seeing her for a few years. Not only was she young and promising, she also won over the heart of the Sovereign. Even the people living in Kunde Palace were replaced by Empress Chen Chongyi. It can be seen how intelligent Imperial Concubine Yan is-”
Linglong ignored Princess Zhenxi’s ridicule. He said, “It’s good that you can come back. Quickly go and see your father. Your father often mentions you. In the past, he wanted to see you. However, it was naturally not easy for Guan Shan to pass your father to be the Sovereign of Myriad Creeds. Therefore, it was delayed. Now that you have returned, you should go over and talk about the past with him.”
Zhenxi did not stop Linglong from moving. Linglong gently wiped the tears off Zhenxi’s face. She hated Concubine Mude more because Concubine Mude had killed her several times. However, Princess Zhenxi felt a little heartache and regret in her heart. Princess Zhenxi could have stayed in the palace and she regretted it. However, she couldn’t go back to the past. What was the use of thinking about it?
Princess Zhen Xi looked at the golden phoenix above Ling Long’s head and said, “Your Highness is about to become the Empress. Fortunately, Zhen Xi came back in time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to see the Empress’ coronation ceremony.” Ci’er Linglong could feel it in her words. She only forced a smile and said, “The throne of the Empress is not mine. Don’t mention these words in front of your father.”
Zhen Xi glanced at Linglong. It had been four years since she last saw her. Her skin was still moist, and she seemed to be even more luxurious than four years ago. Could it be that time hadn’t hurt Linglong in the slightest?
Princess Zhenxi smiled and wiped away the last tear, saying, “Fortunately, this subject and daughter have returned. In this way, this subject and daughter can avenge Mother Concubine and will not let Mother Concubine die unknowingly.” Linglong ignored Zhenxi’s words. At that time, when Concubine De died, the Empress was still here. In terms of the cause and outcome of the matter, the Empress was probably the real culprit, while Linglong was just a spectator.
But there are people in this world who mistakenly treat a bystander as a bystander, Zhenxi smiled and said, ‘”Father is in school for the Emperor’s son. Your Highness also knows what kind of secret place school for the Emperor’s son is. There’s nothing you can’t go to. So, I came to Kunde Palace first. I originally wanted to see Your Highness the Empress, but who knew that she was actually Chen Chongyi?” Congratulations, Your Highness. It’s already Concubine Yan. ”
Linglong ignored Zhenxi’s mockery. “it ‘s good that you’ re back, There are some things that I have long wanted to tell you, However, there was nothing she could do. Right now … “Linglong originally wanted to tell her about Mu Tai Fu, but Linglong suddenly felt that she was a little funny when she said that. Even if she said it like this, she would not let Zhen Xi believe it. She pursed her lips and smiled.” Let’s go and see your father first. Let’s talk about this matter slowly in the future. ” Zhenxi smiled as she brought in the earth instrument outside. Linglong had Qin’er arrange for it to be put away, so she said a few words of thanks.
Zhenxi and Tuoba Rui went to the Qian Qing Palace to wait for this. When Linglong saw Zhenxi leave, she sighed slightly. Qin’er also knew why Linglong sighed and comforted Linglong, “Zhenxi is a reasonable person. Now, she has grown up a lot. The Empress just needs to properly reason with Zhenxi.”
Linglong stretched out her hand to tidy up the pearl earrings in her ears and said, “You don’t know that this palace and Zhenxi will never be friends in this lifetime. Not only did this palace send Zhenxi away, but this palace also sent the lives of the entire Zhenxi family. No matter how reasonable Zhenxi is, she still can’t understand.”
‘”But, Your Highness–” Qin’er sighed and said, “Zhenxi is doing very well now, isn’t she? Tuoba Rui has only had such a princess for four years. She should be grateful to Your Highness. After all, every princess in the palace may not have such good luck.”
Linglong sighed and said, “The people in the situation are confused. I’m afraid they’re confused and even more confused.” As Linglong spoke, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Have you investigated the matter that Ben Gong sent you to do?”
Qin’er remembered another thing that Linglong had told her. She quickly said seriously, “Your Highness, if you don’t ask me, I won’t be able to remember. I’ve already investigated it-“
