The First Empress - Chapter 314

Chapter 314 After Empress
Huiqi nodded and Linglong said, “Your Majesty, it’s better to find someone to follow Lan Shuyu.” After she finished speaking, Linglong’s clear eyes looked at Huiqi. “Your Majesty, is Lan Zhenglin already done?”

Huiqi nodded and said, “You are as clear as me in both the court and the public. You will probably be able to cut off Lan Zhenglin’s party members soon. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about Lan Sou Yu. Usually, you are afraid of catching a mouse, but now you don’t need to.” After Huiqi finished speaking, she looked at Linglong. Linglong felt that her hand was tightly gripped. She could only nod her head. Huiqi’s meaning had yet to be comprehended by Linglong.

Everyone finished their lunch. Today’s conferment ceremony was considered a success. Seeing that Huiqi had left, Linglong heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking carefully, There were a lot of people in the palace who were now subservient to him, Basically, there weren’t many people beside Lan Sou Yu. Ling Long knew what she should do. It was as if she was walking on a steel cable. She didn’t have any room to turn around, so she naturally couldn’t turn around. Otherwise, she would fall into the abyss and into the dark rivers and lakes. She would never crawl out.

“This palace relies on the support of our sisters to make it today. I am here to drink tea instead of wine. Here’s to all sisters.” Linglong held the cup in her hand. Everyone drank it all in one gulp and hurriedly held the wine cup. After drinking it, Linglong wiped the corner of her mouth and said, “Now, I would like to ask you sisters to help me out. Now that I have finally come to this day, I believe all the sisters know that there is a thorn in my heart. I hope you can help me remove this thorn.” After Linglong finished speaking, she couldn’t help but smile. Her smile was peerlessly beautiful, but it was infinitely close to being cold and thin.

Everyone nodded. Linglong saw that a lot of people were starting to show impatience and said, “Scatter, don’t be here.”

Everyone dispersed and Linglong was dumbfounded. After an unknown amount of time, Qin’er gently patted Linglong. Linglong suddenly trembled and was shocked by Qin’er. Qin’er did not expect that she would frighten Linglong. She immediately apologized. Linglong’s gaze was very gentle and she pulled Qin’er up. “Are you wrong? What are you apologizing for? This palace is just thinking that this palace has actually become the Empress.”

Li Sheng walked over. She draped a five-colored gauze embroidered with gold and silver threads over her thin shoulders. “Your Highness, the throne is not easy to sit on. Only three of the seventeen Empress of the Dali Dynasty died. The rest either died young or were banished or slaughtered. All of them are like the previous Empress. Now that Your Highness has reached this stage, she needs to walk carefully.”

Linglong nodded. She looked at Qin’er and Li Sheng and said, “You guys help me properly. When the time comes …” Li Sheng nodded and said, “Your Highness, there’s no need to say anything. As long as servant is within their means, even throwing their heads and spilling hot blood can help Your Highness.”

Linglong tightened the clothes she had just worn on her body and said, “Let the Royal servant come over and clean it carefully. Let’s go back.” Linglong stood up. The three of them arrived in front of her. Royal servant nodded and bowed as she watched Linglong leave. Linglong felt that it was a little ridiculous. Identity conversion often triggered a series of ironies, but Linglong had never thought that it would be so fast and fun.

After walking out of Qianyuan Palace, there were already drifting and sprinkling snowflakes outside. It was winter solstice, and the weather was dry and cold. The wind in the air was like a knife cutting people’s faces. Linglong reached out and gently covered her cheeks. She was already scared, afraid that she would grow old, and Xie Yunxiao would not want her.

Just as she was thinking about this, a group of people had already arrived outside the Cloud Phoenix Hall. Linglong looked at the Cloud Phoenix Hall where she lived and couldn’t help but feel that she still had a sense of accomplishment. She was just a small genius. After so long, she was now a perfect Empress, the Empress? When Linglong thought of this, she didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. There were a total of seventeen empress in the Dali Dynasty. Naturally, two or three of them were assisting the country. The rest of the troubled palaces didn’t deserve to die. Linglong took this as a lesson, so she became even more cautious.

After arriving at the Cloud Phoenix Palace, Linglong heaved a sigh of relief. She had just arrived at the inner hall and asked Qin’er and Li Sheng to help remove her makeup. She was also in a hurry. She had just wiped away the rouge powder on one side. A purple cloud floated outside the palace gate, mixed with snow. Linglong knew that Xie Yunxiao was coming, so she quickly closed the palace gate. Qin’er and Li Sheng went outside to see people. Linglong turned around.

Xie Yunxiao looked at Linglong. Linglong looked at herself in the mirror again. Half of her makeup was thick. This Linglong was fake. Half of it was real, the other half was real and exquisite. She really didn’t know which half of her face she would use to treat Xie Yunxiao well and was stunned.

Xie Yunxiao said, “We have already made a plan. When Lan Zhenglin revolts, we will take advantage of the chaos to usurp the throne.”

Linglong hurriedly buried her cheeks in the water. After washing her face clean, she looked at Xie Yunxiao straightforwardly, “Big Brother Yunxiao, have you thought about it?”

Xie Yunxiao nodded. “There are already many hidden artifacts left. Today, let’s see if Shi Jun is the first to write about the Golden Hall or the annihilation of the entire army. We have never been afraid of failure since the beginning of our alliance with Seventh Prince. Only a person who has experienced failure can feel success, right?” Xie Yunxiao’s expression was serious. Linglong nodded when she heard this and said, “Wait for me, wait for me! You must wait for me.” Xie Yunxiao hugged Linglong and smelled the faint fragrance coming from Linglong’s body. He couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat as he lightly patted Linglong’s back. “I’ll wait for you. Let’s leave this place together. Let’s leave together …”

At this moment, Suddenly, Qin’er and Li Sheng’s signals came from outside. Linglong didn’t know well. Could it be that Huiqi had already discovered Xie Yunxiao’s footprints? After Linglong removed her makeup, she was about to take a bath. The bath water behind the screen was already prepared. Speaking of which, Linglong quickly brought Xie Yunxiao to the back. After a short while, Huiqi had already walked in.

The sound of water rang out in the room. Linglong poked her head out of the ripples of the rose petals. Huiqi went to the screen from the front and said, “Bold Lan Sou Yu, if you really collude with the thieves, I didn’t know there would be so many people in this palace-”

“With so many people fighting against me, I just feel that it is not safe to go anywhere.” ‘”Your Majesty, don’t be too angry. We should think of a way to eradicate the treacherous minister Lan Zhenglin and throw Lan Sou Yu into the dungeon of the Heavenly Net. These concubines will make good plans.” Ling Long’s expression became even more spring-like because she was bathing. She slightly shook her cherry lips.

The dues reached out and pulled out Linglong’s hairpin. Her temples fell like clouds. Linglong was not surprised. Three thousand strands of azure silk fell on her shoulders like brocade. After entering the water, her hair was wet. Linglong drilled out of the water and said, “Your Majesty, go to the inner hall. I’ll tell you what method you can use to kill two birds with one stone.” Huiqi’s eyes darkened for a moment. He looked into the water, but before he could see it clearly, Linglong had already grabbed his hand and brought it to the back hall.

“What kind of method is there to kill two birds with one stone?” Asked Huiqi.

Linglong’s eyebrows curved like crescent moons as she smiled, “Your Majesty is a smart person. Has Your Majesty ever thought about the crime of weaving? It’s the same as the crime of weaving for their concubines. Only in this way can you kill them all. Your Majesty, don’t forget the former Grand Master Mu. Didn’t Grand Master Mu die for nothing in his entire life?” Linglong tried to keep Huiqi’s attention on him, so that Huiqi wouldn’t hear the sound of water dripping outside. It was too dangerous just now. Xie Yunxiao was still hiding in the water.

It was even more dangerous than the last time. The last time, Xie Yunxiao suddenly disappeared from the Qianyuan Palace. In fact, he spent the entire night on the beam above his head.

Huiqi sighed and said, “What do you mean?”

Linglong corrected Huiqi’s face and asked, “Is Royal Teacher Mu going to rebel?”

“There is a situation, but there is no real action–” said Huiqi, ‘”However, I already know that every move he makes is to seek to usurp the throne. I have already made preparations. Sooner or later, their affairs will end in disaster. I have already dealt with more than half of his troops. Now that General Baoluo and Li Chen are helping me, I am also like a tiger adding wings. I’m just afraid that Jie Xi Yi will also be mobilizing troops at that time. That would not be good.”

Linglong was naturally worried about this. Zhenxi had said that she would post a battle invitation as soon as she returned to the Western barbarians. If the two things happened together, there was really no way she could change the situation. Linglong frowned slightly when she thought of this and said, “What does the Emperor mean?”

‘”Don’t boil a frog in warm water. I mean, hurry up and do it. The sooner the better. Help me–” Huiqi held Linglong’s hand tightly. Huiqi’s eyebrows were stained with doubt. “Now it’s so cold, you’ll bathe and change as soon as you come back?” Linglong smiled, “It’s just a habit of this concubine.” Huiqi turned his attention to look at the butterfly on Linglong’s collarbone and gently touched it. “I told you to stay in bed for the first night and wonder why you have a butterfly here.”

‘”Probably I can fly,” Linglong smiled faintly. “I can fly–” Actually, Linglong wanted to say that she could fly away and would never stay here. However, after thinking about it, she could forget it. She knew that Huiqi’s temper was not very good and there was no need to joke with Huiqi.

Huiqi’s eyes were pitch-black, as if nothing had happened in an ancient well. “There are some things I will teach you. You won’t disappoint me, will you?” At this time, Huiqi glanced at Linglong. The corner of Linglong’s eyes lifted slightly and she smiled at Huiqi. “Actually, Royal Teacher Mu is not as smart as Lan Zhenglin. Lan Zhenglin is a prime minister. His brain is much smarter. The Emperor should pay attention.”

“I don’t know how many gold medals he has in his hand. I’m afraid …” Linglong was still smiling. Hearing about the gold medal, she couldn’t help but put on a puzzled expression. “Hasn’t the Emperor gathered all the gold medals?”

“There are a total of five of them. How can I, He De, just gather enough for one?” Linglong laughed. The last time she went out of the palace, Concubine Heshu gave her one. When Han Qi died, she gave her one. When Han Xiuyi died, she gave her one. Now, Linglong had three in her hand.

There was only one side in Huiqi’s hand, and the other side was undoubtedly in Lan Zhenglin’s. Lan Zhenglin was an old fox, so an old fox like him should have left a trail for him. Moreover, since ancient times, there would not be only one trail left in the cunning rabbits’ caves.

Huiqi’s fierce eyes were as charming as the night. Looking at Linglong’s eyelashes, “Help me. I have already made a five-sided team that can avoid death. I will not admit the decree of the previous emperor. No one can stop you. No one can-” Linglong saw Huiqi’s unfriendly expression. ‘”Since the Emperor knows how to win the gold medal, they will definitely do the same. Since it’s all fake, then the Emperor doesn’t have to care. The Emperor should punish him for these things,” he said calmly. Huiqi nodded. Linglong nodded, “Your Majesty, let this concubine do it. Lan Sou Yu’s father is a court beetle, and Lan Sou Yu is the murderer who killed Yu Lai. This concubine will definitely not indulge him lightly.”

‘”Alright, this is what we are waiting for–” After Huiqi finished speaking, he gripped Linglong’s wrist heavily.
