The First Empress - Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Last Count
Eagle Dragon Boat slowly moved to the center of the Taiye Lake. The rose-colored lake surface was pierced bit by bit, like an icebreaker piercing through a sparkling piece of hard ice.

Linglong’s fingers trembled as she grasped the imperial edict.

After carefully looking at it, he put it away.

“Your Majesty has a kind heart. It is already an extrajudicial kindness for you to allow me to leave the palace. However, I am not alone. I still need your Majesty to open the golden noodles. After I leave the Golden Sheng Palace, I hope that you will at least look after my father. Other than that, I have nothing else to ask for.” Linglong turned around slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with longing. Huiqi nodded, “It’s good that you go. Your father has never arrogated his duty in his life, nor did he do anything harmful to the heavens to usurp the throne. I will not harm your father just like this.”

Only then did Linglong nod her head. Huiqi said, “When the time comes, you can hand over the five gold medals and the battle results to me. I will not leave any difficulties.” Linglong nodded and said, “It’s night. I’m going back. Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty. Don’t be greedy.” After Linglong finished speaking, Lotus Steps Shanshan walked to the front. Eunuch Lu had already paddled over a small speedboat, and Linglong jumped onto the speedboat …

After walking for a long time, Huiqi still looked in the direction where Linglong had left. After reminding Huiqi two or three times that she was still indifferent, Eunuch Lu sighed slightly. Huiqi said, “Those who have insight should be here. Now that they have left Zihua Palace, even if they are cold and worried, they must not feel lonely and regretful.” “I am lonely and regretful, but I am the king of a country. My shoulders are too heavy, so I must not let Wu Shan Yun Yu break his heart.” Huiqi seemed to be comforting others, but in fact, he was comforting himself.

Qin’er was waiting for Linglong at the edge of the Linglian Pond. She thought that Linglong was gone and never came back, like a yellow crane. Seeing that Linglong’s expression was not very good, she hurriedly walked over to Linglong’s side with rags. She wanted to cry first, “Your Highness, you’re back.” Linglong nodded and reached out to wipe the tears off Qin’er’s cheeks. Then she said, “Why are you doing this? This palace is a person who knows how to protect himself. Even if this palace can’t protect itself, it will make everyone retreat. You can’t cry like this in the future.”

Qin’er nodded, but at this time, Linglong’s eyes were moist, and against the light breeze, the eyes of Linglian and Jianjia Linglong were filled with sadness. “This palace’s heart has not moved, its love has not sprouted, and these years, I am even more experienced in the world. So this palace is not sad. The emotions in this world are dense and unpleasant. I am not tired of it. It is the path of enduring for a long time.” As Linglong spoke, she walked to a clean place in front of her and Xie Yunxiao walked over with his sword in hand. Linglong could feel the killing intent and hostility on Xie Yunxiao’s body, and she frowned slightly.

Half a crescent moon had several bamboo sticks, and the breeze blew gently. The bamboo leaves swayed and shattered the mottled flower shadows on Linglong’s body. She stood in the dense tree shadows, like an unreachable dream. Xie Yunxiao walked over. Linglong looked at Xie Yunxiao. Xie Yunxiao’s face was ashen and her lips were pale. Seeing Linglong walk to her side, she smiled faintly. Linglong also smiled. Suddenly, tears appeared in their eyes.

“If the Emperor doesn’t let you leave, I will prepare to assassinate the Emperor.” As Xie Yunxiao spoke, he put the Blue Sharp Sword into its sheath. A cold light flashed across Long Tunkui’s sheath. Linglong said, “For my sake, it’s not worth it. The Golden Sheng Palace guards Senyang. Blood droplets appear and disappear. They can easily kill people. Are you really … worth it?”

“If it’s love, then don’t ask if it’s worth it.” After Xie Yunxiao finished speaking, she gently hugged Linglong’s shoulder. Linglong nodded, and the two of them followed the flower shadow in front of them to the front.

The untied boat was still swaying in the Taiye Lake, passing through a grass bridge on the sand bank, and the breeze dissipated the heat and the moonlight reflected the clouds. Huiqi’s hands were trembling. Her hands that were holding the wine glass were trembling nonstop. Linglong finally had to leave. She was actually a tool that she had nurtured. Do things carefully, Good plan, Over the years, Linglong had already been refined into a pure jade. Her entire body carried an indestructible power. That power was like a ball of fire that could instantly burn everything around her. Huiqi did not expect that he would play with fire and burn himself. Finally, one day, the flames he lit began to burn to his fingers in a prairie fire. His hand trembled slightly. Rika Bai’s wine stains dripped along the Kui Dragon Mark’s sleeves, becoming an arrogant and domineering style. Huiqi raised his glass. Taking a light sip at the moonlight, and began to talk to himself, “It’s been ten years since you went from the Hidden Mansion to the Golden Sheng Palace. You were so tall back then-” Huiqi stretched out his hand in front of the Dragon Case and gently competed. Then he said, “It’s been a few years. It’s time for you to leave. You’ve done good deeds and accomplished good deeds. I naturally can’t keep you anymore. Once you weren’t fully fledged, having me give you an imperial edict now is naturally like adding wings to a tiger’s wings. But Linglong” Huiqi suddenly covered his chest with his hand, as if it was very painful. That kind of pain almost annihilated a person.

“But Linglong, you didn’t expect … I … with you …” Huiqi drank another mouthful of wine, and those words were cut off forcefully. He wasn’t willing to say a word, not even a single word. After a long time, Huiqi sighed, “How long has it been?”

Eunuch Lu hurriedly ran over and said, “It’s already time to return to the Emperor.”

“Zizheng, go back.” Huiqi waved his hand and the Dragon Condor swayed on the mirror-like surface of the water. It quickly and nimbly entered a hole bridge. After a while, it arrived at Fengliu in front of it. Eunuch Lu turned the bow of the boat. After a while, the boat had already arrived at Qianyuan Palace.

Linglong knew that this might be her last night in Zihua Palace, so she needed to make good arrangements. At night, Linglong had already thought of what to do when she met the enemy. By the next morning, Linglong got up early. The imperial concubines in the pitiful harem did not know that they were going to come out of the wheel of fate of the Samsara of Life and Death. One after another, Ying Ying, Yan Yan, and Yan Yan, dressed in red and green, greeted Linglong. Linglong, who was also ordinary, invited these people into the inner hall.

In the past, Linglong used to say, “Take more of your jealousy into the palace and clean up. Don’t fall into the city.” But now, every time Linglong dressed up, she would definitely fall into the city. Her beautiful eyes were slanted to the side and her drawing was sharp and narrow. The rouge powder was heavy. Her face was cold and unapproachable. All the concubines bowed in unison. Linglong waited until everyone had knelt down before lightly tapping the golden armor on the table. She said in a loud voice, “Stand up.”

The imperial concubines sat down according to their grades. Linglong looked at the crowd indifferently and said, “Today, we came neatly.” The concubines naturally came neatly. This was Eunuch Lu’s message from early in the morning. Linglong naturally knew the background of the matter, but she didn’t say anything. “Since you’ve come, I will tell you some things as well.”

“Chen Chongyi-” Linglong called Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi hurriedly stood up and said, “You have seen many storms in the past few years. This palace will let you be conferred the title of Consort Yi and assist the six palaces. Can you do it well?” Chen Chongyi was shocked and looked at Linglong. He De said, “Your Highness …”

“Big sister Chongyi, are you going to say that you are not someone you entrust to? But big sister has a heavy responsibility in her eyes. Does big sister nod or shake her head?” Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong’s face with all her might. She wanted to see something from Linglong’s face, However, there wasn’t any change in expression on that water-like azure porcelain face. Chen Chongyi nodded slightly. Chen Chongyi knew that Linglong had something to hide from her, However, he did not know what the crux of the problem was, She could only stare at Linglong with her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation. Linglong sighed coldly and said, “Assistant manager, as for this palace, it may be after today … Forget it, the matter is still undecided. In short, this palace is still considered the head of the palace and the Empress. Therefore, you will still obey every word and deed of this palace, won’t you?”

Everyone nodded. Linglong glanced at Concubine Guyi and said, “This palace has not done a good job with the Crown Prince and the West. This palace is truly guilty now. I would like to ask Imperial Concubine Yi to take a look at the beginning and end of this matter from her strengths. This palace has no choice but to do so. Moreover, it is as military as a mountain. This palace has no way to go against the decree.” “I only hope that Imperial Concubine Yi can still treat anyone as usual.” Concubine Guyi nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, the few capable generals beside him were all awarded rank one by one. Only then was Linglong satisfied. What Chen Chongyi wanted to say was stopped by a gesture from Linglong.

“Go back. It doesn’t matter what you hear, you can just keep the door shut. This time is not peaceful. This palace will ask the Emperor to hand over the golden book to all the concubines and concubines as soon as possible. Please take care of it carefully.” After Linglong finished her instructions, she ignored everyone’s wide-eyed gazes and shook her dress slightly. She had already entered the inner hall. Even the few people who were hooked up to get some clues from Linglong were unable to leave, so they could only return slowly.

Fortunately, it was only within a day. Otherwise, the palace would naturally be filled with speculation and gossip.

“Your Highness, they’re all gone. This concubine seems to want to know why Your Highness dismissed them like this.” Qin’er said with a playful tone, “As long as you’re obedient, everything will be fine. It’s like a full moon and a basin of water.” “The concubines should have known this earlier. This palace only wants to prevent them from panicking, so that when the time comes, everyone will be busy, anxious like a stray dog, confused like a fish that has escaped the net.” As Linglong spoke, she pointed at the golden phoenix above her head and said, “Help me remove it. Even my clothes shouldn’t be like this.” Qin’er hurriedly came over and changed Ling Long into another dress that wasn’t so luxurious. The cloud bun above her head was also broken and tied into a beautiful bun. Ling Long smiled and looked at herself in the mirror. A sincere smile appeared at the corner of her eyebrows.

Linglong reached out and gently stroked her wrinkles. “This palace is already twenty-eight years old. It should be time for wrinkles,” she said. Qin’er smiled and took the bundle over. Linglong smiled and turned around. “Someone will come to help you when you arrive at the Chonghua Sect. Wait outside properly. This palace will come at midnight. You can pack up a clean place for this palace to stay. Hurry up and go.”

Qin’er held Linglong’s hand reluctantly, “Empress, you won’t lie to Qin’er?”

‘”The Empress naturally lied a lot. I can’t help but say that. From now on, I’m just your eldest sister. Whose eldest sister would deceive her? We’ve been together for ten years. We’re brothers and sisters. If you’re willing, just call me elder sister.” As Linglong spoke, Qin’er hurriedly kowtowed to Linglong. Linglong helped Qin’er up and said, “Hurry up and leave. I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave if you want to.” Qin’er told Linglong to “take care” and then left.

Linglong waited for Qin’er to leave before she smiled and said, “That’s like me.”
