The First Empress - Chapter 343
Chapter 343 Cut And Cut
The thick darkness covered them layer upon layer, and wisps of smoke flew over. Xie Yunxiao and Linglong did not move for a long time. Suddenly, Xie Yunxiao took out his Tao Xun from his sleeve, placed it beside his mouth, and blew it. Linglong took out the jade flute as well, and tears began to fall down her cheeks. It sounded like a crane jittery and babbling.
“Let’s go. We should go now. Qin’er is in a hurry.” Xie Yunxiao said warmly, Linglong looked at the sky. Just now, both of them had turned the joy in their hearts into music. All of a sudden, the egrets in the sky flew over and circled around Linglong Yu Xie Yunxiao. Linglong smiled and said, “This scene shouldn’t be wasted. Take a good look at them. This is the so-called Idle Cloud Wild Crane, right?” Xie Yunxiao hugged Linglong.
On this side, Huiqi had already begun executing Hui Ye, Hui Ye was tied up and sent to a high platform. The view here was pretty good. Huiqi was holding the token in his hand, but he couldn’t bear it for a while. The worried look on his face showed that Huiqi was worried. He threw away the token in his hand and landed on the ground. Fortunately, Eunuch Lu was attentive and handed the token to Huiqi.
“Your Majesty, the Supervisory Officer is ready. Commander Jiang is also ready. Please send a message, Your Majesty.” It was already dusk and the palace lanterns were lit up. Huiqi looked at Hui Ye on the stage. Hui Ye’s face had long since turned pale and he scolded endlessly. Huiqi said, “Pull out Hui Ye’s teeth for me first. It’s really too troublesome. It’s too noisy.” After saying that, he threw the token down and said, “One hundred and fifty slashes is too late. No more slashes, no less slashes.” Commander Jiang was the boss of the executioners, so he naturally went on stage with his own hands and punched Hui Ye’s chest. This way, there wouldn’t be a backflow of blood and qi, so he could slow down his death a bit. Then, a knife started to cut him, and Hui Ye shouted at the top of his lungs.
Huiqi’s eyes suddenly became wet. For some unknown reason, Huiqi seemed to see Linglong Yuxie Yunxiao arrive at a place where there was no water flowing in the mountains and it was extremely cold. In the future, the two of them would have children together and live a good life together, Linglong even smiled brightly. These years, Huiqi knew that she had wronged Linglong. She only treated Linglong as a weapon to take revenge on anyone. She had never considered Linglong’s true feelings. It was reasonable for Linglong to leave her. The people on stage shouted loudly, but Huiqi ignored her.
Eunuch Lu was beside him, and Huiqi said, “Give Linglong a hundred taels of gold. Just say that I am thanking her. She has made me look at her differently today. Naturally, a heroine should be rewarded.” After saying that, he said, “Just look at the things you gave her and make sure that Linglong keeps them all. Unless you can’t, you must always let Linglong carry them with you. Do you understand?” Eunuch Lu knew how powerful the Depressed Soldier in Huiqi’s heart was today, so he nodded repeatedly and walked away.
Linglong and Xie Yunxiao were already prepared to go outside. He had already mounted a rouge stepping horse from Zhong Hua Men, The two of them walked one after the other. They were bumping about on horseback. Just as they arrived at the Chong Hua Sect, Eunuch Lu stopped them. Eunuch Lu walked out of the darkness and bowed as he handed over a plate of gold. Linglong said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. You don’t need to take the gold if you want to die. I’m not someone from Yun Kong. Do you understand?” Eunuch Lu naturally understood, but Linglong also knew that the emperor’s fate could not be violated. After thinking for a while, she could only choose one of the top gold ingots and hold it in her hand. “Tell the emperor that Xie Yunxiao and I have remembered the emperor’s good life. You can go back.”
After Linglong finished speaking, Eunuch Lu slipped away and went back.
Huiqi was supervising the beheading. Seeing that Eunuch Lu had returned with a happy expression, he knew that things weren’t that bad. After Eunuch Lu parroted everything Linglong had said, Huiqi’s hand that was holding the wine cup trembled even more. “Did Linglong say where she went?” This Eunuch Lu naturally knew that Linglong wouldn’t answer and didn’t say anything. Huiqi smiled disappointedly and said, “I knew it … she hated me …”
The deathbed on the stage was not over yet. It was still going on. Huiqi had already turned around and fell to the ground. Eunuch Lu was frightened. He hurriedly found a few Royal servant to bring Huiqi to the Divine Advancement Palace. The imperial physician came over and brought Mai Xingxi to him. However, Huiqi was unhappy.
Linglong and Xie Yunxiao went outside. Qin’er welcomed them and was extremely happy. She said, “Everything has been arranged. We will leave tomorrow morning, afraid that you won’t come out. This servant’s heart will be in turmoil.” When Linglong heard that Qin’er still called her by her usual name, she was a little unaccustomed and said, “In the future, don’t call her queen. Just call her sister.”
“Got it, Your Highness-” Qin’er couldn’t change it for a while, and Linglong didn’t force Qin’er to change it.
Outside, Mi Zhu Yi Yun said, Changlin covered the sun, The dark moonlight shrouded his head, Linglong looked at the gradually clear sky in front of her and said, “I’ve finally walked out of the palace. It’s been ten years. I’ve been fighting against each other in the jade pile for ten years, and I can finally walk out. I never thought that I would leave there by myself one day. I want to come down and take a walk.” Linglong stepped on the ground from the back of her horse. Looking at the beautiful flower buds blooming in the dark night, she couldn’t help but smile slightly. Qian Cuijiaoqingyan looked extremely cute when she got wet.
Xie Yunxiao smiled and walked beside Linglong. “Tonight, you should rest well. Tomorrow, I will take you to the middle of the river. That place has already been settled. There is a stream of flowing water that can be washed and flowed. There is also a bamboo hut. From now on, we will never come out.” Linglong nodded, and then she arrived at the inn. Qin’er had already hired the carriage, and she could leave this place at five o’clock.
Linglong found it hard to believe that she could leave unscathed. Linglong also knew that it was impossible to say that she was as intact as before. But at least Linglong knew that she could already live a good life. Although this experience of harvesting love was rather rough, Linglong still harvested love and embarked on her own path. Whether it was a path full of flowers or thorns, Linglong was not afraid. All of this Linglong was not afraid.
After sleeping in the inn, Linglong closed her eyes and dreamed of the saber light and sword shadows of the day, causing a nightmare to appear. Xie Yunxiao patted Linglong gently. Linglong always thought that she hadn’t walked out of Zihua Palace, so she felt uneasy in her heart. Perhaps it was because she had dreams every day and night. The images in Linglong’s eyes slowly changed. After a while, she dreamed of Princess Yu Lai. Princess Yu Lai looked at her with a smile. Her beautiful smile was like a flowing spring, flowing into Linglong’s heart, comfortable and healthy.
Linglong opened her eyes and saw Xie Yunxiao. “Big Brother Yunxiao, I…”
“There’s no need to speak. I know. I know everything. Linglong, you should rest properly for a while now. In the future, you’ll be fine. We’ll slowly forget about these memories.” Linglong nodded and gently rubbed Xie Yunxiao’s body. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, Qin’er had already called the carriage over. Linglong, Xie Yunxiao, and Qin’er got into the carriage. Then, the carriage slowly moved forward. They did not notice the group of people behind them. Of course, the leader of the group was the Emperor. Huiqi was a little sick. He coughed slightly and pointed at the carriage that was going far away.
Eunuch Lu hurriedly said, “Does the Emperor want this old servant to stop the carriage?” Huiqi shook his head and Eunuch Lu said, “Then just ask them where they went.”
‘No-‘ Huiqi suddenly turned around. ‘Let’s go back.’ Eunuch Lu was a little puzzled. He hadn’t rested well last night. Did he really come here so early to watch a person leave? Drops of fine sweat oozed out of Huiqi’s forehead. Eunuch Lu hurriedly sent Huiqi to a carriage. After that, he drove the carriage in the direction of Zihua Palace, Huiqi said in the carriage, “Let the historian write it down when you get back. Although you won’t be able to keep it in the end, no one can erase Linglong’s great achievements. You can specify what Linglong did on a certain date, but you can’t write it down in the end, understand?” Eunuch Lu nodded his head repeatedly. The two carriages were completely different. After a while, Huiqi arrived in Zihua Palace and stood outside Xuan Kuo’s Zihua Palace. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He pointed at the tall city gate of Zihua Palace and said, “Don’t open the Chong Hua Gate and Xuan Wu Gate again. No one is allowed to go out without my permission.”
Eunuch Lu nodded.
Linglong was also bumping about in the carriage. The so-called eight thousand kilometers of clouds and moon had only arrived in the middle of the river on the fourth day. When they arrived at the place Xie Yunxiao had mentioned, the three of them got off the carriage. Linglong arrived at the place that Xie Yunxiao had already arranged. Qin’er also looked at the surrounding scenery, because it was autumn, and it was quite pleasing to the eye. The sky was filled with clouds and sunshine, and in front of her lowered head was Shi Chu Liu Zi. The violent winds and winds had turned the air flow between the beautiful mountain mist into a large area of beautiful and smelly air. Linglong entered the house with them.
Drenched in rain, The house is still a little leaky, Linglong and Qin’er hugged the banana leaves they picked from the courtyard and tied them up on the roof. After a while, Xie Yunxiao let Linglong down. Linglong hurriedly walked down from the roof. Looking at this somewhat crude place, Linglong suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes. Xie Yunxiao thought that Linglong was crying because she felt that the living conditions were not good. He hurriedly comforted Linglong. Linglong was crying with joy. “Sister Bu felt the warmth of home, not sadness, not sadness.”
After Qin’er finished speaking, Linglong nodded. He said, “This is home. I have never been happy in the palace. Every day I have to face a sudden scheme. I am exhausted. I never thought that I would be able to live a good life on a small bridge in my life. Such a day is ordinary, but there is naturally a kind of beauty in it. This is steadiness.”
