The First Empress - Chapter 298

Chapter 298 A Gold Medal for Avoiding Death
Linglong held onto this life-saving gold medal. Han Xiuyi knew that she could not control her own life. She sacrificed her life to give the life-saving gold medal to Linglong in order to let Linglong avenge her. Linglong felt even more sad in her heart. So much so that the resentment towards Han Xiuyi had all turned into pity, and the indignation towards what Han Xiuyi had done had all turned into utter admiration. Although this person was a bit tactful, she believed in herself.

After getting through the horns, she wouldn’t be unable to extricate herself from it. Linglong knew what she should do. She held the gold medal in her hand and nodded heavily. “I know, I will do this. Don’t worry.” Han Xiuyi heard Linglong’s affirmative answer, Han Xiuyi looked at the heavy chains on her feet and couldn’t help but sigh, “Thank you for protecting me. I don’t think I can repay you. I just hope that our siblings will be reborn in exchange for their death. If you get revenge, you must remember to burn incense for our siblings. It would be good if you knew about it in the spring.”

Linglong nodded heavily, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. This palace will definitely help Your Highness take revenge. The Tian Clan is fortunate. This palace can only protect Your Highness until here. From today onwards, no one will approach Your Highness. Your Highness will definitely believe this palace.” Han Xiuyi nodded, her face ashen. “You … should go back, otherwise others will be suspicious.” Linglong raised her foot and looked at Han Xiuyi reluctantly. She could clearly feel that Han Xiuyi had the courage to look at death as if she were returning. She could also clearly feel Han Xiuyi’s attitude of not being afraid of life and death. “Empress, don’t think about it for now. This palace will think of a way to save her life within these ten days. Empress can rest assured.” Linglong could not guarantee that she would definitely save Han Xiuyi, but she knew the principle of repaying the kindness of the fountain. She understood who she was in Han Xiuyi’s eyes.

Han Xiuyi waved her hand and said, “Your Highness, go ahead. I will be fine, I will be fine.” Linglong had never broken her promise. She only prayed that Han Xiuyi would not break her promise. In this way, she still had time to think of a way.

Qin’er and Linglong walked out of the corridor one after another. Linglong told the jailer not to be rough with Han Xiuyi, so she hung down from above her head. A gloomy, stone-side grass root had already grown out of the crack in the brick. Linglong couldn’t help but feel disappointed as she looked at the shadow of the bridge in front of her. Over the past few years, Linglong had bitterly tasted it. She knew that the taste of the world was like chewing wax. She was afraid that Han Xiuyi would commit suicide if she couldn’t think of it. Her heart was extremely depressed.

Qin’er could see the doubts in Linglong’s heart, so she just said a few words beside Linglong, “Your Highness, your reputation depends on your feet, don’t look at it.” Seeing Linglong’s reluctance, Qin’er hurriedly reminded Linglong in a soft voice. Linglong nodded and took a step forward, saying, “Bring over the gold medal for me to take a look.” Qin’er handed the gold medal over. Linglong looked at it. On one side was the Emperor’s Grace, and on the other side was the Prosperity of All Lives. Linglong couldn’t help but put the gold medal close to her nose and sniff. Qin’er smiled and said, “What is Your Highness doing?” Linglong opened her eyes slightly. “You don’t know how much blood there is on this gold medal. It’s crafted from bones. How can I not feel particularly cherished?” After Linglong finished speaking, she put the gold medal into her sleeve and walked from the front of the vine to the vast place.

“Poor Han Xiuyi has always been the Shanggong Consort of the Shanggong Bureau. Her utensils must be refined and her food must be different. Now that she doesn’t want to suffer from the prison disaster, she can’t care about anything anymore.” Linglong sighed and said, “The struggle in the harem is very dangerous. Sometimes, I really feel that I am a bit ruthless. If I can leave this place at a certain point, I should eat fasting and chant Buddha for the rest of my life.” Qin’er chuckled and said, “Your Highness is used to joking. Bodhisattvas don’t have such a charming heart. If you want to talk about how ruthless and merciless Your Highness is, she is less than one thousandth of the Empress Ji Zhuhua, less than one thousandth of Concubine Mude, less than one percent of Lan Sou Yu, what kind of mercilessness is there?” After Qin’er finished speaking, she smiled and said, “It’s just the same. Qin’er will follow her wherever she goes. Qin’er doesn’t want to live in this palace courtyard.”

Linglong turned around and said, “Alright, as long as you are willing, I will bring you along.”

“Then thank you, Your Highness.” Qin’er smiled happily, and her eyes almost formed a seam. Linglong patted Qin’er and said, “Let’s go back.”

At Lin Quanzhi Hu, the wind blew ten thousand points. The master and servant walked to an alley in front of them. There was no sunlight anymore. Gradually, it was time for the frost to form a thousand grasses. The weather was chilly. Linglong was about to take a shortcut and go back early. Just as she walked to the front, she heard something moving in the partition wall beside her.

“What is it?” Linglong couldn’t help but ask. Qin’er stood beside Linglong. She heard the sound of the partition wall and carefully recognized it. Her face was a little pale. “Let’s go, Your Highness. Don’t be here anymore.” Seeing that Qin’er was unwilling to say anything, Linglong prepared to leave.

Floating clouds rose from the sky, decorating the sky. On such a beautiful day, Linglong’s mood was also joyful, but after a while, Linglong knew that there was someone who was ruining the scenery. There was a warm wind blowing in the Cloud Flying Pavilion in the sky, and Linglong stamped her feet.

“What is it again?” That subtle voice was still echoing endlessly, The green shadow flashed past their heads like a flash of light. Linglong didn’t leave anymore, Standing there waiting, Whoever deserves to come will always come, Fortune, misfortune, misfortune, unavoidable, Linglong could clearly feel herself walking on this side. Someone was also pressing against the partition wall step by step. If she stopped, the people on the other side would also stop. If the other side followed suit, there would be a ritual door in front of her. Linglong wanted to go inside to see who was playing tricks on her.

“Your Highness, take this side. We’ll be back soon. Don’t look anymore.” Qin’er had apparently sensed something, but Linglong did not. She had always been a cautious person. She knew the sound of such fine footsteps. It must be a woman, and it must be a very quiet woman. Linglong stopped there. On the other side of the partition wall, someone also stopped. Linglong opened her mouth to say something, but she knew what to say. She just stood there.

Before Linglong could react, An old black cat had already been chased down from the wall. Then, it landed on Linglong’s head. Even Qin’er was not in a hurry to save this unfortunate Dou Sheng. After Linglong was frightened, she passed by. The old cat had already fallen from her shoulder. Qin’er hurriedly walked over and pulled Linglong to a safe place. Just as she stood up, the ritual door on the other side opened with a “creak”.

Linglong looked over. After the ritual door opened, a pair of legs first stepped out, However, a woman walked out of her pink dress with a slight swing. Only then did Linglong see that it was Princess Zhenxi. Zhenxi hugged a cat in her arms. A cat lay on his shoulder, Someone carried a gunny sack and walked out from behind. There’s no need to think about it. It’s full of cats, She stroked the green silk on her head and looked up as if she had just seen Linglong. She hurriedly saluted, “This son greets Imperial Concubine Yan. Imperial Concubine Yan is auspicious.” The golden phoenix above Linglong’s head was already dressed properly. She looked at Zhenxi’s thin eyebrows and smiled. “When did you have the interest to raise a cat in the Imperial Palace?”

Zhenxi’s bright eyes stared at Linglong. He sighed and said, ‘”It’s just a sneak peek. Your Highness wants to know that cats are psychic creatures. I have raised so many of them, but none of them I really like. Take this one for example. Your Highness, look at this claw. It’s uncomfortable if it stabs into people’s bodies.” Linglong didn’t like to play with kittens ever since she was young. At this time, he saw her walk over and forcefully press down on her originally fleshy little foot. This little foot actually gave off a kind of abnormal sharpness. Every fingernail was incredibly long, making Linglong feel a little uncomfortable.

“Your Highness, this cat is called Apricot Eye, and I caught an old cat from the palace. This cat has no name yet-” The man placed the sack on the ground and opened his mouth. A group of cats of different colors walked out from the sack. Unspeakably strange, they were all screaming at the top of their lungs. Linglong frowned and said, “What exactly do you mean?”

“What’s the meaning of this foreign minister?” Zhen Xi gently stroked a cat and gently carried it over to Ling Long. “I just wanted to let Niang Niang see if there are a few cat Niang Niang who look familiar. Niang Niang is someone who can hear everything in the Six Ways of Eyes, so should these cat Niang Niang Niang …”

“You don’t need to say anything,” Linglong threw the cat in her hand to the ground. “Are you just messing around in the palace to intimidate me? How could I be such a cowardly person? You Mother … I don’t need to rely on my words alone. You can slowly investigate and secretly visit me when the time comes.”

“Zhen Xi only knows that there was once a Concubine Mude in the palace who was sentenced to cat punishment for offending a woman. The rest of Zhen Xi will not know and do not want to know. Isn’t that enough?” Zhenxi approached Linglong aggressively. Linglong was not afraid. She smiled and said, “You know too little. Someone has made you believe that I have never really hurt anyone in all these years.” Linglong pointed at the cat running away on the ground and said, “Actually, the cat is the same as the tiger. At first, both of them were docile. The tiger is a pushing cat, right? This palace has already been too patient. Please don’t push the cat too hard.” After Linglong finished speaking, she looked at Zhenxi leisurely. Zhenxi had a sachet hanging on her waist.

“The sachet is pretty good. Did you let the imperial physician take a look at the contents?” Linglong pointed at the sachet. After saying that, she prepared to leave. Zhenxi waited for Linglong’s back to leave. Then she took out the sachet and sniffed it. She said, “Go to the Grand Hospital and ask what kind of material it is. I didn’t pay attention to what Lan Jiumin gave me.”

This guy’s gone.
