The First Empress - Chapter 289
Chapter 289 Each Harboring A Ghost
The ten-mile platform was leaning against the verdant sky, and the cuckoos in the depths of
It was already autumn, and it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival. The weather was getting colder and colder. Linglong’s heart was still in a mess. She had finally calmed down one thing. She didn’t expect that she would have another hot potato in her hands so soon. It wasn’t something that could be prepared overnight. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival in two or three days.
Linglong thought for a while and could not find a perfect solution. She wanted to send Zhen Xi away quietly, and she also wanted to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet like a raging fire. When she was thinking about things, her footsteps slowed down. Suddenly, a few people walked over and knelt down to Linglong. Linglong couldn’t dodge, so she quickly stood firmly on her feet.
It turned out that Chen Chongyi had brought two rookies over. Linglong was shocked. He stopped and looked at Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi saw that Linglong’s expression was not right. “Sister, there’s no need to thank you like this. It’s just a simple matter of doing something. Right now, there’s still a bigger headache ahead.” After letting Baoluo and Li Chen kowtow, Chen Chongyi held Linglong’s hand. Her gratitude for Linglong was simply indescribable. Linglong’s hand was extremely cold. She knew that Linglong had encountered something she could not solve.
“One is a good princess who has behaved properly since she was young, the other is a beautiful youth with a golden whip. Has she succeeded now?” Linglong asked softly. Chen Chongyi nodded her head repeatedly, “This is all thanks to you. I can’t blame the Emperor for liking you for neglecting all the concubines. If everyone is like you, everyone will naturally dote on you.” Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong’s expression and said, “It’s just one thing. You can’t work like this. Look at your pale face. It’s like you’ve been powdered with snow. It makes people look a little scared.” Linglong did not feel anything unnatural about her expression. She reached out and gently stroked her. “The emperor asked my sister to use the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet as a cover to send Princess Zhenxi away. I’m afraid that my sister can’t do it, but the emperor’s order cannot be violated. That’s why I’m in a dilemma.”
Chen Chongyi was also secretly shocked. Such a big matter would be left to a female genius, If it was done well, everyone would naturally be happy. If there was a slight mistake, otherwise, the hustle and bustle of the war would make Linglong lose her footing. She really didn’t know what Huiqi was thinking. Chen Chongyi held Linglong’s hand and sat on the Taihu Lake Stone in front of her. The two of them looked at the falling red leaves in front of them with sadness in their stomachs.
The clouds were shadowing the yarrow, Jin was nourished in autumn chrysanthemum. Wild flowers flew down and landed under their feet one by one. Chen Chongyi gently fiddled with the petals beneath her feet. Linglong sighed slightly and stood up. “Let’s talk about it then. This is something a woman might not be able to do well. I’ll do my best.” Chen Chongyi held Linglong’s hand and said, “When the time comes, just tell big sister what you want to do. Now that the matter with Baoluo has been settled, big sister will not hesitate to take big sister’s life even if she has nothing to worry about.”
Linglong quickly covered Chen Chongyi’s mouth and said, “You really make people laugh and cry. My sister has never failed again. Just trust me and I won’t take your life.” Chen Chongyi sighed softly. “I can’t help you anymore. If I can help you, I want to help you well.”
“Why can’t elder sister help me? I have something to ask elder sister for. Elder sister will help younger sister do it today.” Linglong handed a paper bag in her sleeve to Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong coldly and said, “Poison the Emperor?”
“Big sister is thinking nonsense, how can you poison the emperor, this is west and the crown prince from Han Xiuyi get poison, said is diamond powder, can unknowingly kill a person, was let younger sister plot against the emperor, younger sister still have compassion. “Take this back and give it a try. Whether you can poison something or not, three days should be enough. Whether it’s a mouse or a crane, just give it a try.” After Linglong finished speaking, she handed the small parcel to Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi caught it and hurriedly put it in her hand.
Linglong dispersed from Chen Chongyi in front of him. The two of them were completely different. Linglong didn’t dare to neglect the details of the family banquet in Yunluan Palace. The royal banquet was nothing more than entertainment, Everything has to be done in a clean window, But it was all a matter of people having their own plans, and everyone was talking differently, such a banquet is not a good one, Linglong was afraid that she would miss something. After the list was drawn up, it was sent to the Qianyuan Palace in Huiqi. After carefully looking at it, Huiqi added one or two more pieces of paper. Linglong held the paper in her hand and said to Huiqi, “What kind of method does the Emperor think it would take to send them away? It would not only save face, but also be generous and maintain friendly relations with them.”
Huiqi stood up and walked to the window lattice. He pushed open the window lattice as if he had pushed away Princess Zhenxi and Tuoba Rui. Outside, the Stone Room Flower Pavilion looked as cold and solemn as the light in Huiqi’s eyes. It was filled with a kind of hostility. A wind blew past, and in an instant, a group of pines and cypresses roared.
Linglong followed Huiqi to the window. Looking around, Outside, the rattan scenery flowed around the house, a row of beautiful scenery in late autumn, Linglong couldn’t help but be stunned. There was even the eaves of the Flying Springs that were suffused with hazy clouds, Suddenly, Huiqi closed the window. The forest outside no longer existed. Linglong was stunned. Huiqi said, “Left is just a casual excuse. It’s good that you know what I mean. I don’t want to sleep too long. I’m not afraid of the war at the border. It’s best that I don’t have to be bloodless.” After all, Zhen Xi is my daughter. If I can’t maintain a good relationship with Zhen Xi, I’m afraid that the people of the ordinary world will not let me sit in the Dragon Court properly. ”
Linglong knew that the banquet was just an identical banquet, On the left, it was just a song on the lake. This season was suitable for lotus picking and drunkenness. However, even if the program was arranged, there was no way to send them away. Even they would not be willing to send them away without a trace. However, Huiqi had already arranged for them to do so. This was the only thing they could do.
“I have never been disappointed in you before. You have a spirit pill in your chest that can help you transform the world. You are a smart person. I won’t misjudge you. Just do it properly.” After Huiqi finished speaking, he pondered for a bit and finally sighed heavily. “If there really was a last resort, I would not be afraid of the flames of war flying. My army is strong and I have the intention of annexing them long ago. However, before the Lan Sou Yu Chaotic Party can calm down, I have already begun to invade in large numbers.” Linglong knew these things better than anyone else, so she could only smile bitterly.
Huiqi was calm and composed. Only Linglong felt that things were really difficult to handle in the face of danger. However, there was no way to refuse. After all, the Emperor’s orders could not be violated. His Majesty’s hopes for him were so great that he could only force himself to start planning slowly.
It was true that now that Hugh was gone, he would be gone, if he could find no time.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the third autumn. Linglong had already arranged the banquet. Royal servant and the palace maids had already prepared everything. Linglong, as an important figure, had also appeared on the stage. Naturally, Huiqi would come tonight. However, before Huiqi came, everyone else had to be present. No one could be absent.
Linglong counted the number of people, cups, plates, cups, cups, and other utensils. Basically, all the people who could come were here.
Zhenxi and Tuoba Rui also arrived. Zhenxi walked to Linglong’s side. He couldn’t help but sneer, ‘”Your Highness is really exquisite everywhere. No wonder her name is also exquisite. Your Highness is a careful person. However, no matter how careful and meticulous your Highness is tonight, I’m afraid she won’t be able to count as something that will happen in a while.” After receiving the hint, Linglong couldn’t help but be shocked and said, “What exactly is it?”
Zhenxi smiled and said, “The Empress wants to send Zhenxi away, but has the Empress ever thought that the Empress is about to die? It’s better for the Empress to take care of herself at this time. It would be extremely embarrassing if no one takes care of the Empress’ corpse later.” Linglong was confused, but she still raised her chest and said, “Let’s talk about it then. Since I’m doing a good job, there won’t be any calamity. You guys should prepare well. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The so-called full moon is the eclipse. Once things reach perfection, they will have to be separated again, won’t they?”
Zhenxi walked away fiercely. Linglong did not want to quarrel with such a little girl. After saying a few words, she walked away. At this time, the concubines had already appeared one after another. Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, everyone did not declare that they were the masters. Although they were dressed gorgeously, they did not cover up Linglong’s brilliance.
Linglong looked around. After almost everyone had come, she said to a girl beside her, “Go and call the emperor. The emperor should be here by now.”
The little girl hurriedly went, Only then did Linglong relax, When they arrived beside Concubine Guyi and Chen Chongyi, Chen Chongyi hurriedly held Linglong’s hand. He lowered his voice and said, ‘”That diamond powder has already eaten the immortal crane in my sister’s palace to death. I only ate a little. The rest is here. What exactly is my sister going to do? Please make it clear, so that my sister can help me at that time.” The Crown Prince and Xi walked over before Linglong could say anything. “Greetings, son, to Bu Mother.”
Linglong lovingly touched his head and said, “Get up, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Drink less wine.” Linglong’s implication was that there was a good show tonight. Don’t get drunk. Xi He looked at Linglong and suddenly came over to say something. Because of the public, he could only retreat. “Can Imperial Concubine Mother and my son go to a place where they can talk?”
Linglong shook her head vigilantly and said, “We’ll talk about it later. The Emperor is coming soon.”
