Now at both extremes, One is that the enemy will not move and I will not move, One is that the enemy is openly secretive, Huiqi’s heart was racing like two horses, After Lan Zhenglin’s army left, Huiqi had already made several preparations. Not only had Li Chen been dispatched, but there were also many guards in Zihua Palace. The current Zihua Palace was still Jin Ouwu Wuque in the eyes of everyone. However, Linglong knew that no one dared to imagine the great changes that had taken place in this inch of land.

Imperial concubines were still living a good life without the slightest fear. Unlike willow catkins rising due to the wind, the days continued to flow smoothly and quietly. No one knew that the palace was already empty. There was no defense left. Except for Imperial Guard Long, this place was already empty.

The imperial concubines couldn’t feel it. Linglong tried her best to stop at the city walls and Baoluo every day, hoping that a pair of strong troops would suddenly appear from the setting sun. However, three months had passed without any improvement. Fortunately, Li Chen’s letter had already arrived.

Li Chen disguised himself as a dealer and went to the country of the Western barbarians. The two countries were stirred up like fire and water. Naturally, a war had begun. Li Chen’s entire body was far away. He himself had made a military order. It was a man’s promise not to break Loulan’s promise. Therefore, Linglong Jade Baoluo had no other choice but to wait.

On this day, the weather had cleared up and the old calendar New Year had passed. It was already the time for the green willow to turn yellow. Linglong looked at the opening of the city gate. Commander Jiang brought people to transport the grain bit by bit outside the Black Tortoise Sect. Linglong walked to Commander Jiang’s side and asked, “Is it a success ahead? The Commander is busy, but he also knows the current situation of the battle.”

Commander Jiang’s lips were purple and cracked. Linglong could see that he had been made powerful by the running back and forth. He looked like he was at the end of his rope. If it wasn’t for the strong willpower of the soldiers, they would have suffered a heavy blow of death. He licked his dry lips and looked at the city gate. “I don’t know,” he said.

At this time, Linglong was puzzled. Not every time she sent so much food to the troops of the Western barbarians, why didn’t she know? Seeing that Commander Jiang was leaving, Linglong quickly grabbed Commander Jiang. The two of them arrived under the eaves of the wind. Linglong’s eyes, which were as moist as warm jade, fell over. “This food wasn’t sent to the Western barbarians, was it?”

Linglong had always been a smart person, Commander Chiang kowtowed, This time, Linglong guessed it clearly. He couldn’t help but feel even more admiration. Looking around, Commander Jiang said, “The food was delivered to Baohua Alley’s official hat street, not to the Western barbarians. Since the dispatch of troops three months ago, not a single grain has been delivered to the Western barbarians. Right now, the Emperor’s troops have already returned. As for Lan Zhenglin’s loose troops, they have probably completely collapsed.”

Linglong unconsciously reached out and touched her soft cheeks. She did not expect the Emperor to have so many secrets. Furthermore, he had never told her anything. The Emperor would not believe anyone. This was certain. Linglong’s resentment was also idle. Immediately, she asked, “So much grain is in Official Hat Street?”

Commander Jiang patted the sack and said, “There is a tunnel in the official hat street. It is full of grain.”

Linglong nodded, “Why?”

“I don’t know.”

Linglong smiled bitterly. Even Commander Jiang didn’t know why. He probably made this group of people act independently. Huiqi was much more cautious than she had imagined. Linglong didn’t feel disappointed nor sad. She knew Huiqi’s character.

“Go, this palace will only ask you one last thing. You should know about this matter. Is Li Chen still alive? This palace has heard …” Linglong had long heard of Li Chen’s death, but she had never received any confirmation. At this time, Commander Jiang said, “He is still alive.” Linglong could not help but feel relieved.

Commander Jiang went. Linglong didn’t know what other plans Huiqi had in mind. She suddenly felt that Huiqi was very self-preserving. This was already the most dangerous place. The most dangerous place was the safest place. The so-called hidden place was in the market. Even grain was there. Hidden in the crowded Treasure Flower Alley, no one would think of it.

The imperial palace was much more depressed now. Although it was already spring, nothing had changed. Linglong simply did not dare to imagine how the people on the frontlines were desperate.

After a few days, the weather became warmer. The scarlet golden sunlight outside was filled with a gentle warmth. Linglong was visiting the garden with Huiqi when someone outside asked to see her. When Huiqi saw that it was Li Chen, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He asked, “Is Lan Zhenglin alright now?”

Li Chen knelt down and replied, “Your Majesty is clever. Naturally, there is no way to avoid Lan Zhenglin’s schemes. Now that Lan Zhenglin no longer has any influence, it will probably not be easy for him to return safely. From now on, Your Majesty can rest assured.” Hearing this, Linglong said, Looking at Li Chen, Li Chen’s face was slowly filled with a lingering expression of wind and frost. The red battle robe that had begun to fade had already dimmed down. The light on the armor was also gentle. “Princess Huiqi–” Baoluo knew that a long farewell was better than a new marriage. Linglong was also happy to give Li Chen such a favor, but she didn’t expect Huiqi to say, “Huiqi is with Chen Chongyi. You don’t need to go there for the time being. I still have something to arrange for you.” After he finished speaking, he could clearly feel Li Chen clenching his fists. Linglong shook her head, indicating that Li Chen should not act rashly. Perhaps Li Chen saw Linglong’s hint and sighed slightly. “Understood, Your Majesty, then this official will leave.”

Eunuch Lu was already leading the way with his fly whisk. Li Chen was taken to a side hall. The distance between Chen Chongyi and Bao Luo was really nine twists and eighteen turns. Looks like coming back alive with great difficulty doesn’t do any good, Li Chen’s expression hardened when he arrived at the empty hall. His cold eyebrows suddenly trembled. Eunuch Lu, who hadn’t even had time to run out, was already caught, thrown onto the ground, and stomped on his chest. “Tell me honestly, has Baoluo been killed by the Emperor?” If you say it, I will forgive you. If you don’t say it, I will make your life worse than death. ”

“Baoluo … Baoluo … Very good …” Eunuch Lu resisted the urge to spit out blood. “Our family is just a dog by the emperor’s side. Our life is not worth much. Please forgive us, general.” Li Chen moved his foot from his chest and just as he walked away, Eunuch Lu struggled to stand up. Li Chen turned his head and kicked Eunuch Lu’s chin again. “Tell me the truth, what did the emperor want me to do here?”

“It’s … it’s … it’s against Seventh Prince Hui Ye …”

Eunuch Lu was already frightened. Li Chen smelled a coquettish smell and immediately frowned. “They say that you shameless people are not clean in the water. Get out of here.” Before he could get out of the way, He was caught again, Eunuch Lu was also unlucky today, ‘”I didn’t expect that the first-grade father-in-law of the Western Bureau would be tortured like this. Miles tore his battle robe off his shoulder and handed it over to Eunuch Lu.” Please give this scarred robe to Baoluo. If you hadn’t handed it over to Baoluo, I would have known that I would have killed you. ”

“Yes, yes. General, you can rest assured.” As Eunuch Lu spoke, he nodded and bowed. The scarlet robe had not been cleaned for an unknown period of time, and it was covered in bloodstains and scars left behind by saber-light and sword-shadows.

“Your Majesty, is there anything else you want Li Chen to stay in Zhaoyang Palace?” Linglong did not understand Huiqi any more. Huiqi’s cold eyebrows slightly trembled and he said, “His mission is not over. He, Commander Imperial Guard Long Jiang, and Blood Droplet are staying behind to deal with Hui Ye.” Speaking of which, Huiqi’s expression relaxed slightly. “Did you find Hui Ye’s whereabouts?” Linglong asked.

“No, I’m just in the palace.” Huiqi was not afraid. Actually, Hui Ye and Xie Yunxiao had already left the palace long ago. The two of them were looking for someone to steal a portion of the food Huiqi had hoarded. Huiqi himself did not know.

After saying goodbye to Huiqi, Ling Long saw Eunuch Lu outside the door. Eunuch Lu handed over the crimson battle robe that was covered in destruction. Ling Long caught it and said, “You don’t have to worry about this matter. This palace will naturally think of a way.” Linglong looked at the battle robe and felt an inexplicable sharp pain in her heart. This kind of person had already lost his life for the sake of the royal family. Not only did he not exchange any rewards, did he even need to keep working even harder? People are not tools, how can they be used without maintenance? Linglong didn’t know how ruthless Huiqi was, but Linglong still had to tell Baoluo about Li Chen’s return. Regardless of whether they met or disappeared, Li Chen was the best gift for Baoluo.

At night, Linglong Ping retreated from the servants outside Zhaoyang Hall. Under the cover of the night, Baoluo and Li Chen hugged each other and cried. However, the reunion was always brief. After the two of them confirmed that the other party was safe and sound, Linglong hurriedly took Baoluo away. This matter had already risked the world’s condemnation. Linglong was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future, so she could only help her to this point.

The two of them walked into the moonlight in spring. The tears on Baoluo’s face had just dried up. Linglong said, “Right now, we have to deal with a more powerful person. We should all pay attention.”

Baoluo naturally knew and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Linglong walked alone and couldn’t help but turn around. “Stop hiding your head and show your tail. Come out.” The masked man flashed. Linglong leaned against a Taihu Lake stone and said, “You still have some responsibility. Once you come out, you will make a difference. This palace will not tell the Emperor that this palace has seen you. You just have to be fine.”

“Are you threatening me?” Hui Ye’s voice was trembling and arduous. The fire was actually quite powerful. After it completely burned, it had already changed a person. From the outside to the inside, it had changed a person. Hui Ye suddenly pulled out his sword and waved it at Linglong. Linglong had no fear on her face. Just as the sword was about to touch Linglong’s eyebrows, Linglong suddenly spoke.

“Revenge?”

“Are you taking revenge? For the Empress?”

The sword subtly stopped in mid-air. The edge of the sword was a little cold in the moonlight. There was a kind of coolness in it. Hui Ye said, “Why is it you? You shouldn’t have killed her.”

“Why isn’t it me? You don’t hate me. You can kill me now. Why aren’t you attacking?” Linglong’s beautiful red lips trembled slightly. “For Xie Yunxiao’s sake, isn’t it? You owe him what you owe him. You should return it. Or you can just kill me ungrateful. This is such a good opportunity.” Linglong smiled apathetically as if she was talking to herself.

Hui Ye had already put away his sword. Looking into Linglong’s eyes, He retreated like he was in a difficult situation, Perhaps killing an innocent person that had nothing to do with her was a path that everyone was afraid of. Linglong gently brushed the two strands of hair that had just slipped off her cheeks above her head and walked over. The entire process of threatening her was neither humble nor arrogant nor fearful. Only after walking out did she feel her hands tremble slightly.
