The First Empress - Chapter 310
Chapter 310 I’m Going Against the Wind
Seeing that the room was silent, Tuoba Rui patted his beloved wife’s shoulder and walked outside the hall, gently closing the palace door. The gate of Qianyuan Palace was about nine feet tall, Nine-foot Palace Gate, divided into 8,864 pieces of sandalwood, Each piece was carved with hollow carvings, The door of the palace was huge. After it was closed, the hall instantly darkened. The skinny woman in front of her seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Zhenxi sneered again. This cold laughter was as if it had been poured into her clothes bit by bit from above her head. Huiqi felt a chill all over her body.
“Your Majesty, Xi and the Crown Prince are my brothers and your sons. Nobody can change that. I have never seen anyone personally kill their own son.” Zhenxi’s lips shone brightly as she looked at Huiqi and restrained the cold laughter. “Your Majesty, Xi and the Crown Prince are my brothers and your sons.” Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that the king of all nations is inferior to the nothingness of China. Your Majesty, tiger poison doesn’t eat children. You actually killed your own son, your own son … ”
“Shut up, what qualifications do you have to say about me?” Huiqi was furious. Before he could finish dealing with the matter in the morning, there was such a thing again. Huiqi tightly gripped his sleeve and wrapped his arm. He slightly exerted force on his wrist and lifted it up. “Although I have killed without mercy in my life, I have always had my own purpose. I have never killed my relatives by mistake.” I’ve always wanted to tell you, What kind of person are you, Mother, “In the imperial court, I have always strictly observed the court rules and refused to allow you and your concubines to participate in the regime. Everyone who enters is deeply trapped in the mud. My heart is in chaos. I do not want all of you to die like this, but there will always be people who want to take advantage of the regime-”
As Huiqi spoke, he pointed out angrily. The sunlight inside the window lattice slanted in and landed on Zhen Xi. The fur was like a baby beast with plump autumn fat. Zhen Xi was like a leopard sucking blood from its teeth. Huiqi wanted to reach out and gently caress Zhen Xi’s head.
However, Huiqi’s hand was only an illusion as it grabbed onto the faint golden dawn flowing in the air. Inside the dust, Huiqi sighed, “I have killed you, Mother, and your family. I do not regret it. I have killed the Crown Prince of Xi He today, and I do not regret it either.” “Your Majesty, if you can’t kill someone, then all six of your relatives are thieves. Do you understand my hard work? You are only merciless and ruthless, but no one knows that I already have a scale in my heart-”
“Is there a scale in your heart?” Zhenxi’s delicate and plump lips shook slightly, as calm as a virgin’s. “If there’s a scale in your heart, then it’s my fault. I really don’t know when Your Majesty will protect Concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan will be able to turn the clouds upside down by himself, Your Majesty …”
Did Zhen Xi’s beautiful eyes fall over? She stared at Huiqi tightly. Huiqi coldly looked at Zhen Xi and couldn’t help but gritted his teeth. He said, “Take a step forward and let me take a good look at you. I haven’t looked at you for three years. I don’t know how much your life in the border has changed in the past three years.” When Zhen Xi heard this, she suddenly seemed to have the appearance of her loving father hugging her when she was young. The two of them laughed exceptionally brilliantly, and it was also in this kind of sunlight. However, the flowing light easily tossed people away. It was already a red cherry green banana. Time had changed not only the size of one’s footsteps, but also one’s heart.
Jenny walked in front of Huiqi. Huiqi looked at Zhenxi’s peerless face. Unlike Concubine Mude, Zhen Xi inherited more of her. Although her sentimental eyes were beautiful, they always contained an inexplicable slaughter. Perhaps this golden branch and jade leaf had been spoiled by her. Huiqi reached out and gently caressed Zhen Xi’s cheek before slapping her heavily on the face.
Zhenxi was caught off guard. Had been beaten into a daze, It was not easy to stabilize herself. Only then did she know that she had been pushed back two steps. Jenny found it hard to believe. Huiqi had never hit her since childhood. This slap fell on her face. Not only had she lost her tens of years of nurturing, but it had also destroyed Huiqi’s last bit of affection for her. Both of them were stunned. Huiqi clenched his fists.
The blood stains at the corner of Zhenxi’s mouth flowed down. Zhenxi had always been graceful and magnanimous. At this time, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. A pattern that looked like a faint golden morning sun bloomed on the ground.
“Do you know why I hit you?” Huiqi clenched his fists and sat in his seat. He didn’t feel guilty at all, but he felt conflicted and sad in his heart.
“Your Majesty, the Emperor wants to fight. I don’t want to think about the reason anymore. Your Majesty, I just want to say one thing. The Western barbarians and Your Majesty are at odds. When I return, I won’t let the Dali Dynasty be the sole ruler. Your Majesty …” Zhenxi got up from the ground and used her left cheek to create a half pear vortex.
“Then you don’t have to go back–”
As he spoke, Huiqi stretched out his hand. Blood droplets had already flown down from above his head. Almost no one knew that there was such an ambush in such a heavily guarded imperial palace. No one knew where these people were hiding. Only Huiqi knew that they were anywhere and anytime. Huiqi did not know where they were.
“Your Majesty, do you want me to be like my brother?” Zhenxi asked, He was not afraid of the Emperor’s gaze. Huiqi’s expression was sullen. She closed her eyes unhappily, “I just wanted to tell you, Do not speak nonsense in front of me, I never need a reason to take a person’s life. You are my daughter, and you are also the princess of the Western barbarians. You should know that the burden you shoulder is not only on your country, but also on the countless rivers and mountains of the Great Li Dynasty. There are countless people. Rather than letting you go back to recuperate to attack the Central Capital, what do you think your father would do? ”
Huiqi’s voice was filled with a kind of calm. This calm was like the waves on the surface of a lake. One could tell that Huiqi was willing to do anything.
“Your Majesty, please make your move earlier. Big brother and I also have a companion along the way.” Zhen Xi immediately pulled the clothes on her neck, revealing a large area of pure white skin. Huiqi said, “Get out of here. I don’t want to see you. If you want to fight, I’ll be waiting at any time.”
“Your Majesty, I won’t disappoint the Emperor,” Zhenxi coldly looked back at Huiqi. “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. It’ll take three to five months at most, and ten days at the very least. There will definitely be battle invitation. Your Majesty, station your troops properly. Otherwise, the Golden Sheng Palace’s Zihua Palace will be mine sooner or later.” He didn’t expect his son to want his life in the morning, and his daughter to want his life at noon. Huiqi felt that what he, the emperor, had done was a failure.
Looking at Zhenxi slowly walking away, Huiqi stretched out her hand and gently stroked Zhenxi’s back in the mottled room. She remembered how good the time had been when she was still an imperial concubine. At that time … she couldn’t go back. Nothing could go back. Her eyes were now filled with hatred. There were things that were aimed at her, and there were things that were aimed at Linglong.
Huiqi felt sad in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. After sitting helplessly for a while, Huiqi smiled. The palace door had already opened. The sun wasn’t very blazing. It landed on Huiqi’s body. Huiqi waved his hand and continued to sit quietly. After an unknown period of time, Huiqi heard Linglong’s voice in the inner hall. Linglong called out her name. Hui Qilian hurried into the inner hall.
‘”Your Majesty, this concubine is so uncomfortable, this concubine” Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and comforted, “There’s no need to feel uncomfortable. I felt even more uncomfortable in my heart. I almost killed Zhenxi today, almost.” Linglong was shocked. She looked at Huiqi and said, “Your Majesty, Zhen Xi is your daughter and now she is also the princess of the Western barbarians. Your Majesty can only endure the anger for a moment before Yun Kaiyue Ming, Your Majesty.” Huiqi’s hand was tightly wrapped by Linglong. Although Linglong’s hands weren’t very warm, But it was enough to hold Huiqi’s hand. Huiqi kissed Linglong’s hand and said, “The most unsuccessful thing in my life is that I don’t have a good son or daughter. I wish I could have one with you, but bad luck. Duke Yu Lai is still alive, and now he is also a four-year-old little girl.” After Huiqi finished speaking, she clearly saw Linglong’s face flash with pain. A heart-wrenching pain slowly fell from Linglong’s chest. Then, it turned into sparkling tears that flowed from her heart. That kind of sadness and bitterness, that kind of infatuation and pain, made Linglong unable to hold back any longer and tears began to flow out of her eyes.
How long had it been since Linglong cried? But this time, Linglong cried without restraint, and she cried heartily.
“I wish to confer upon you the title of Empress and summon the Six Palaces of Dawn.” Huiqi suddenly said something. Linglong was like a land that had experienced a long drought and rain. She didn’t know what kind of feeling she felt in her heart. To say that she was happy and lucky, it was more like a kind of joy. However, Linglong didn’t have the kind of feeling she should have.
“Your Majesty, this concubine cannot serve as a model for the six palaces. This concubine cannot.” Huiqi held Linglong’s hand. Linglong’s hand was as soft as a catkin, and was held by Huiqi. There was a bit of silent warmth flowing on her fingertips. Yan Rushun Hua raised her face and looked at Huiqi. “Your Majesty, have you already thought of it?”
“You can afford to be my queen.” Said Huiqi. A pale white color flashed across Linglong’s face. All of a sudden, he got what he had always wanted, Linglong felt that she wasn’t as happy as she had imagined. She wasn’t even as excited as she had imagined. She still felt that she shouldn’t be so shameless as to be happy if she used the death of a Crown Prince in exchange for her own selfishness from the chaos under the heavens. Linglong sighed angrily. She wanted to say something, but she still didn’t say it out loud.
“Seeing that your cheeks are flushed red, it seems that you’re almost done. You just need to rest properly. No one will disturb you.” Huiqi helped Linglong cover the quilt. Only then did Linglong notice that she was actually covering Huiqi’s Nine Dragons Quilt. The five-clawed golden dragons danced around like rain, bright yellow mixed with a little cinnabar red, making the painting look emperor-like.
