The First Empress - Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Sealing
The man nodded. Huiqi reached out to hold Linglong’s hand and said, “Do you want to keep it?” Linglong shook her head. Huiqi knew that Linglong was worried, but she nodded and said, “Then keep it. You are with me.” The few of them nodded and left. Especially the figure of the person who left was slowly overlapping with the figure in their memories.

The Taotie light in his eyes was the same as when he saw the Imperial Seal three years ago. There was a kind of abnormal pleasure in greed. Linglong did not dare to imagine that if the truth was really like this, then who exactly was buried in the Eastern Mausoleum? Since when did Li Daipo bury another person inside? How could such a strange and negligent thing happen in the Great Hall of the People?

Linglong watched as the group of people gradually walked away. Only then did he withdraw his gaze from the strange flowers and stones in front of the screen. A shade of trees covered Linglong’s face from top to bottom. She wanted to discuss with Xie Yunxiao and applaud and laugh with Xie Yunxiao. Every time she saw Xie Yunxiao, Linglong felt that she could cut off the two of them with a single blade, and her worries would disappear completely. However, it was very difficult to walk into this kind of emptiness.

The green banana and yellow sunflower in front of the eaves were covered with stairs.

Huiqi coughed and said, “Previously, Zhen Xi mentioned something to me, saying that she wanted to chase after her mother, Concubine Mude, as Consort Rui Yi. I have already thought about it, and this matter is feasible or not.” After Huiqi finished speaking, he looked at Zhenxi and sighed with disappointment, “Zhenxi is now the princess of another country, so I naturally have to take care of Zhenxi. If I give you such a posthumous title and name like Mother, and I’m afraid that the officials and concubines of the court will not accept it, then it would be an ambiguous time.”

When Zhen Xi heard that the Emperor would mention her Mother, she couldn’t help but be shocked. She walked to Huiqi’s side in public and said, “Your Majesty, since it’s feasible, it can’t stop. Zhen Xi thinks that even if Mother’s sin is unforgivable, after all, death like a lamp extinguishes, it will be written off. It’s a virtue for us Western barbarians to respect the old and love the young. Why didn’t Dali Dynasty follow suit?” After Zhen Xi finished speaking, she smiled coldly. “Father Emperor still doesn’t have the slightest bit of love for Mother. Mother is already dead, and his death is like a lamp being extinguished. Father Emperor, please give face to the dead …”

Huiqi sat down for a long time and was unhappy when he heard these words. He frowned and said, “I have already considered what you said. I will let your mother live and die. I will bring everyone from the Ministry of Rites to do merits for you, Mother. Do you understand my good intentions? You have been here for a while, and it is almost time for you to go back.” Huiqi’s meaning was clear, It could even be said that the conditions were already clear. If she could agree to go back, the ceremony would be held. If she did not intend for Huiqi to be ambiguous, tears would suddenly fall from Zhen Xi’s face. “Zhen Xi thanks the Emperor. After the ceremony, Zhen Xi will leave Zihua Palace. From now on, she will never take half a step into the capital. The Emperor can rest assured.” Zhenxi was pulled up by Tuoba Rui. Linglong smiled and said, “Zhenxi has grown up after all. She knows how to think for her mother.” After she finished speaking, Zhenxi began to kowtow again. “Zhenxi wants the conferment ceremony to be held. Zhenxi is the number one person in the imperial palace who is outstanding. No matter what happens, she will not be able to defeat her. Zhenxi pleads with the Emperor …”

“Consort Yan–” Huiqi looked at Linglong. “Are you willing?”

Linglong couldn’t help but smile bitterly. So what if she said that she wasn’t willing? She had already reached such a stage. If the situation was stronger than others, how could she possibly dominate it? Linglong smiled and said, “This concubine is willing to preside over the Sealing Chasing Ceremony.” Zhenxi smiled and said, “I will definitely thank Imperial Consort Yan on behalf of the Queen Mother.”

“There’s no need for that. This palace was taken care of by your mother when she was alive. This palace will definitely not disappoint you. It’s just that your entire body is filled with a violent aura. This palace hopes that you can figure out the origin of this matter properly. When you, Mother, were alive, your teacher loved to flip through Buddhist scriptures, and I was also nurtured by your mother. Do you know that there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures called Bodhisattva’s fear of cause, mortal fear of fruit, what kind of cause and what kind of effect do you plant? ” After Linglong finished speaking, she looked at Zhenxi. Zhenxi licked her lips and said with a smile like a flower, “The world is hard to predict. The Buddhist scriptures are just used to justify those unacceptable things. The Empress is a smart person. As for the theory of karma, it’s just a joke.”

“You really think so?” Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that Zhenxi would never live peacefully with her in her heart.

Huiqi suddenly interrupted and said, “Your mother and empress committed many evil deeds in her lifetime. It is already a great honor for me to allow her to enter the ancestral hall like a temple. You cannot ask me again and again to continue what I have done. Everyone can see your evil appearance in Mother. Do you know it from everyone’s eyes?” The more Huiqi said, the angrier he became. He pointed at her and said, “You mustn’t slander a person indiscriminately.”

“Slander? Zhen Xi doesn’t know what slander is. Zhen Xi only knows …” As she spoke, a snow-white kitten walked over from behind her. Zhen Xi reached out to hug the kitten and said, “Zhen Xi only knows that Zhen Xi can’t be enemies with a kitten. Is the tragic death of Zhen Xi’s Emperor as tragic as Mother’s?”

The iron flute outside the window was broken, He let out several long howls, Linglong’s nerves contracted slightly. She suddenly remembered the scene when her cat punished Concubine Mude. It was a bloody dusk. Concubine Mude’s voice pierced through the last ray of light in the dusk, almost causing the osmanthus flowers on the laurel tree above her head to rustle down. That kind of pain was truly not something an ordinary person could endure.

“I will use whatever means I can to deal with anyone, You, Mother, are a cold woman, “I have blood dripping from my hands. You, Mother, will harm me in the end. This is what she has been saying all day. What karma and fatalism are nothing in my eyes. If a person learns it well, he will naturally be blessed by Huang Tian. If he does not learn it well, the heavens will not bless him.” After Huiqi finished speaking, there was a paternal light on his loving face. “You don’t have to follow the path of your Mother in the future. The matter of your Mother has come to an end. I don’t want to stop saying a single word about you, Mother.”

“Your Majesty, merits and demerits are in the hearts of the people. This is only an era where success is king and defeat is captive, isn’t it?” Zhenxi’s face was dripping with tears. After she finished speaking, she kowtowed on the ground. “Since the Emperor has already allowed Imperial Concubine Yan to be crowned as Empress Mother, I am overjoyed in my heart. As for what the Emperor said, it is merely the opinion of the Son of Heaven. I have my own decision in my heart.”

Linglong was always calm and unafraid of danger. The smile on the corner of her mouth made her face tense. At this moment, Linglong suddenly felt like a person, like a person who had been dead for a long time-Ji Zhuhua. It was said that she couldn’t feel the same way if the needle didn’t pierce her body. At first, Linglong didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence. Later, she gradually understood that Ji Zhuhua was as tired as she was now. She had to deal with unexpected tricks and tricks in her life. Living was really tiring.

“This palace will definitely take charge of the overall situation. You also understand the Emperor’s intentions. After all, Princess Zhenxi will gradually understand the Emperor’s good intentions when she is young. Alright, don’t be sad.” After Linglong finished speaking, she sighed coldly, “It’s already night. Does the Emperor still plan to be here?” Things didn’t go according to what she imagined. Linglong felt uncomfortable in her heart, and Huiqi felt a little lost in her heart. She stood up and said, “Let’s go back.”

The banquet finally came to an end, Not perfect, But it’s not as if the work that’s supposed to be done is basically done in one go, However, she did not use the fastest method to send them away. This was a thorn in Linglong’s heart. Leaving Zhenxi and Tuoba Rui behind was naturally endless trouble. Linglong did not want to really be enemies with Zhenxi. After all, Zhenxi was still young, and some things would slowly be understood after a long time.

After walking out of Qianyuan Palace, Linglong said goodbye to Huiqi. She thought that Huiqi would stay in Yunluan Palace for the night, but Huiqi was already exhausted after a night of torment. She said, “I want to stay alone, you can go back first.” Linglong nodded, “Your Majesty, take care to protect your body. Your concubine has returned.”

Qin’er walked over and supported Linglong. The two of them walked into the flower shadow in front of them. Linglong watched as Huiqi walked away and said, “Help me to the front …” Just as they reached the porch in front, Linglong couldn’t help but vomit. Qin’er hurriedly served Linglong and forced a smile. “Go away, I don’t want you to see the disgraceful side of this palace.” Qin’er did not intend to leave. “Your Highness has a lot to do. It’s getting harder and harder to survive in this palace. Why don’t you leave this place earlier?”

Linglong wiped the corners of her mouth and said, “You will gradually understand. There are still some things that have just begun, and it is impossible for me to leave now.” Qin’er nodded her head in confusion and helped Linglong up. The two of them walked in the direction of Yunluan Palace.

It was already late at night. Linglong thought about it in her heart. She didn’t know what she was thinking about the deed tax. The flowing years were gone, but seeing the flowers blooming in spring and falling in autumn, Linglong had already lived in Zihua City for seven years. It had already been seven years since she had arrived at this golden palace in the hidden mansion. The palace of Cuiying Veluriyam had changed so much.

The once ignorant girl was now a smart and wise woman. She had always believed that she could withstand betrayal and lose her life. However, she was the only one who knew why everyone in the inner courtyard wanted to take a shortcut in the end. Why did everyone want to harm others?

Ordinary people also have the happiness of ordinary people, only know that the sun rises, day in and day out. It wasn’t as difficult and dangerous as Linglong’s life. Linglong’s fingers were cold. Qin’er felt that Linglong’s stamina was exhausted, so she finally got someone to send her over to her shoulder. Only then did she carry Linglong into Yunluan Palace.

At this time, the last rain of late autumn fell …
