The First Empress - Chapter 292

Chapter 292 Unexpected
Linglong hadn’t expected such a change. Linglong hadn’t even figured out what Huiqi was up to. She was pushing back and making things difficult. It was clear that Huiqi was willing to let the two of them live together subconsciously, but her words and behavior were hard for Linglong to figure out. Linglong suddenly felt that the Emperor’s unfathomable heart was truly unfathomable. He was far more powerful than she had imagined.

He smiled bitterly and looked at Linglong. Linglong nodded, but before she could say anything, Concubine Yan had already pounced over. “Please protect Princess Baoluo in the future. Only Concubine Yan treats Baoluo as if he had come out. I don’t have any virtue to take care of Baoluo for the rest of my life, Lady Concubine Yan …” ,

No one expected such a weak woman, who normally didn’t go out two doors, to have such explosive power. Li Chen hugged Li Chen tightly like a tree wrapped around a vine. Looking at the beautiful Baoluo, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “You shouldn’t have been sad about the way you dressed today. Forget about me later. You shouldn’t have overstepped your etiquette in front of the Son of Heaven.”

Baoluo sneered. Huiqi had already disappointed Baoluo many times. A person’s heart always fell to a certain point. Even if someone wanted to warm up, it would still take time. Moreover, it was already cold and there was no temperature in the heart.

The smile on Lan Sou Yu’s face deepened. Since they were both injured, she could just accept such a result. In fact, she had never thought of having the best of both worlds.

Huiqi actually laughed out loud, “I often don’t like to joke. Today, I played a trick on General Li and the apple of my eye. If you two agree like this, I will grant you a marriage today. General Li Chen will marry Princess Baoluo on another day.”

Li Chen couldn’t believe it and put Baoluo back on the ground. “So, Your Majesty, what did I drink?”

“It’s just a glass of pear blossom white. If the poison wine seals your throat with blood, how can you have such a long period of love?” After Huiqi finished speaking, he looked at Li Chen and Baoluo and said, “After you two get married, don’t forget the promise you made to me. I want Yan Yunzhou to not only pay tribute every year, but also forbid evil people from entering Zihua Palace every year. Do you understand?”

The two of them nodded heavily.

Lan Sou Yu’s face suddenly turned ashen. ‘”Your Majesty, my father once entered the Pass with the dragon and made great contributions to the battle. Even though he is old, he has many generals with outstanding talents. Your Majesty …” Lan Sou Yu pleaded bitterly. Huiqi had already made up her mind and smiled, “I have already made up her mind. You should treat this as a gift. Isn’t it quick to give them such a great opportunity?” Lan Sou Yu could only nod in embarrassment, “Your Majesty is right, but Your Majesty, Yan Yun Zhou is a land of four battles, where war has been raging for many years. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for their newlywed Yan’er to go over there. Your concubine’s father …”

“Your father is old, just take good care of him. I don’t want your father to work too hard on Jiao Si, do you understand?” After Huiqi finished speaking, he ignored Lan Sou Yu. No matter how much Lan Sou Yu pleaded, Huiqi ignored her.

Linglong felt her heart brighten up a lot. The stone finally landed on the ground. She smiled and said, “Let’s go down.”

The two of them thanked each other and retreated.

At this time, someone was already looking over to give gifts. The gifts at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet were naturally like flowing water. However, Linglong’s heart was heavy. The things she had promised Huiqi had not been done. The difficulty of sending Tuoba Rui and Princess Zhenxi away was simply unimaginable. She needed to extend the banquet indefinitely.

Linglong also gave her gifts. Looking at the gifts given by others, she could see that the entire hall was filled with dazzling pearls and agates. The precious light was filled with gold and white jade. The antiques were filled with artifacts. There was even a group of women dressed like Ying Ying Ying and Yan Yan who had also been sent over by someone else.

At this time, even the idle people outside also came over, This is a good opportunity to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix, Everyone who walked on the official stage swayed around like a tightrope. In the palace, where the east was overwhelming and the west was overwhelming, only by recognizing General Chang Sheng would they be able to remain safe. Not only did everyone send gifts to Huiqi, the giver gradually shifted their target to Linglong and Lan Sou Yu. There were even a few white-purposed people who gave the gifts to Princess Zhenxi and Tuoba Rui. Linglong could not help but laugh.

At this time, an unexpected thing was happening. This matter had obviously been planned for a long time, so that the development of the matter was beyond imagination. Linglong watched as the matter became more and more intense, but she stood at the side and did not have a single word to say.

A pair of beautiful lotus feet slowly and silently walked in from outside the hall. Linglong looked at the woman who walked in. She glanced enchantingly at the crowd and went straight to the red carpet in front of the emperor. Her beautiful eyes looked at Linglong. Linglong could hardly believe that this person was actually Han Xiuyi. Han Xiuyi was the Empress of the Shanggong Bureau, so she naturally dressed herself in a short and close manner. Even her eyebrows had been carefully trimmed, and her head was even more surrounded by beads, causing everyone’s gazes to wander.

Huiqi placed the wine glass in his hand on the wine table and looked at Han Xiuyi, who was slowly walking down the stage. He said, “Maid Han also came to give gifts. I didn’t expect that.”

Linglong looked sideways at Han Xiuyi. Han Xiuyi did not look at herself. Her pair of eyes were fixed on Huiqi. Huiqi could not understand any change in her emotions from Han Xiuyi’s face.

Han Xiuyi glanced at Linglong. Soft eyes suddenly turned cold. Her sharp eyes looked at Tuoba Rui and Princess Zhenxi who were sitting in front of her and whispering. Then, she shifted her gaze to Huiqi’s face.

The pot of mulberry water covered his eyes with a hint of clarity. Just like the bright moon in the sky, it was so cold that it made people shiver. Linglong had never seen anyone with such a violent aura. This aura almost penetrated the surroundings, causing everyone to gather their gazes in confusion, causing a silent scene to appear in an instant.

“Empress Han Xiuyi’s gift is definitely extraordinary. I wonder what it is” Concubine Guyi was the one who spoke. After Concubine Guyi finished speaking, he clearly knew that he had made a fool of himself and no one paid attention to him. He couldn’t help but lower his head in embarrassment.

‘”You’re here to give me a gift. If I don’t know you, I’ll have the guards send you out now. Your gaze reminds me of someone–” Huiqi’s expression became uneasy. He shook his head slightly on the dragon chair and pointed at her. “I remember Han Qi–”

“Han Qi–”

Linglong couldn’t help but feel her heart pounding. This eye was clearly Han Qi’s pirated version, The two pairs of fierce eyes looked exactly the same. There was no difference in the tension between the two of them. No different want to kill people, once exquisite is almost indulged in such a beautiful pair of eyes, but times have changed, past generals have returned to the dust, exquisite never forget is in front of the people sent Han Qi into such a dangerous environment to let Han Qi die, never forget.

“Your Majesty, don’t doubt me. I came here to give you a gift. Your Majesty should have received this gift long ago. However, I only took it out at this time. I’m also afraid of someone.” When he saw Linglong, he froze for a moment, as if a young beast was about to prey on a ferocious beast, and dodged.

The corner of Huiqi’s mouth curled up slightly. “Tell me, exactly who are you afraid of here?”

Linglong looked at her. His heart became even more puzzled. Her eyes looked over from time to time. There was clearly a hint of hostility in her eyes. Linglong didn’t need to interpret her gaze to know that she was targeting him this time. Linglong only felt that the world was beginning to turn upside down. Fortunately, she had already begun to be on guard. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be that she didn’t even know how she had died at this time?

The air was a little tense, and Linglong’s cheeks were also a little tense. It was as if she had smeared her cheeks with egg white. Everyone had a mask, and even Han Xiuyi, whom she had always trusted, had a mask. What exactly was going on in the palace?

“Subordinate Concubine–” Han Xiuyi’s red lips slightly opened as she dodged repeatedly, as if she was facing a poisonous beast. “Subordinate Concubine is afraid of Imperial Concubine Yan–”

‘”What’s there to be afraid of, Huiqi? You didn’t come here to give gifts for what Concubine Yan owes you. Besides, Yan Gui has always said that she would give you anything she takes from the Quasi-Shang Palace Bureau, right?” Concubine Yan smiled and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? You didn’t come here to give gifts for what Concubine Yan owes you, did you?” After Huiqi finished speaking, he looked at Han Xiuyi and said, At the same time, he looked at everyone’s expressions. The pair of dragon eyes stopped on Linglong’s face. There was a hint of enduring dissatisfaction, Linglong smiled faintly and explained, “Your Majesty, it’s probably because I took something from Empress Han Xiuyi in the palace and haven’t returned it for a long time. I’ll go back and ask after Jiulan Ge is over, so that I can teach those servants who have no manners to return it back to the Empress, so that she won’t be afraid of this palace.” Seeing that Huiqi was joking, Linglong naturally laughed.

But Han Xiuyi did not let Linglong off, “Your Highness, do you still want to pretend?”

Linglong was suddenly shocked. She had already given Han Xiuyi a chance, Why did everyone in the palace have to be unforgiving, Han Xiuyi was no exception. The world gave Linglong another heavy knife to her chest. Linglong shook her head slightly, signaling that Han Xiuyi could stop. However, Han Xiuyi had already made up her mind that she would not fail halfway. She pointed at Linglong and said, “Your Majesty, the person I fear the most is Imperial Concubine Yan. Imperial Concubine Yan is now extremely knowledgeable and bold. Your Majesty …”

‘”Just tell me what you have to say, as if Concubine Yan and you are sworn enemies-” Huiqi explained to Linglong. “The matter with General Han is settled. A general should know from the very beginning that a general dies in a hundred battles. If you still hold these things in mind, I will not let you off lightly.”

After Han Xiuyi finished speaking, she said, “Your Majesty knows better than anyone else that your concubines are reasonable people.” He lifted a tray in his hand to Huiqi’s side. Huiqi did not know what was inside. Through the thick scarlet veil, he could see a faint light flowing inside. There was an inexplicably dazzling luster inside. Linglong did not know what this was, so she gazed over.

All of a sudden, everyone started to talk. Linglong did not explain. The storm was coming, so just let it come. Linglong could bear the betrayal.
