The First Empress - Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Devil’s Stunned
Changle Palace.
Lan Shuyu placed rows of letters and checked the handwriting. After reading it, she fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shaling helped him in time and was not injured. Lan Sou Yu’s eyes darkened. “Go and find Concubine Heshu. I’m fine here.”
Lan Shuyu looked at the paper while trembling. Tears began to gather in her eyes, and all of them suddenly flowed out.
Sha Ling still did not understand what was going on, but she knew that the matter was very important, so she hurriedly went outside to look for He Shufei.
Lan Sou Yu tamed a few carrier pigeons in order to communicate with her family. Every time there was a big or small matter in the family, it was this snow-white carrier pigeon that sent the news. However, today’s news was no different from a disaster. Lan Sou Yu was a little disappointed. From seeing the exact same handwriting, she was certain that it was only a short while ago.
How could these big things happen so quickly?
After a while, Sha Ling and He Shufei walked in.
Lan Sou Yu tidied up the rest of the messy letters while holding the one in her hand. He Shu Fei did not understand what was going on, and when she walked into Chang Le Palace, she noticed the strange atmosphere.
He Shufei asked, “Is there anything wrong with my sister?”
“What is it? Could it be that elder sister doesn’t know?” As he spoke, Lan Sou Yu handed the paper over. After reading it, Concubine Heshu felt his hands and feet turn cold and fell to the ground. Shaling hurriedly helped him sit up.
Lan Sou Yu had already accepted the reality after experiencing such a calamity. As she nodded, she said, “I have already recognized the handwriting. It was entirely written by my brother. However, I did not expect that one day in the mountains, the world has been for a thousand years. Big sister, you must take care of yourself.”
He Shufei said coldly, “Three years ago, the Qing Prefecture had a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. Everyone was planting for personal gain. My father was just plucking the feathers of a wild goose. Nothing will happen to him. It’s just that his uncle’s matter. Is his uncle alright?”
Originally, Lan Sou Yu wanted to be right. She could just say something that was critical, but who knew that this elm bump was completely unaware of Lan Sou Yu’s intentions, as if it was Lan Sou Yu’s father who was even more dangerous.
“Elder sister, corruption is a capital crime in the Dali Dynasty, could it be that sister of the Nine Tribes doesn’t know? Now that it says on the stationery, Big sister should be careful. For the sake of her sister’s good words, it would be good if big sister didn’t hit him when he was down. This news was also sent by little sister, big sister … “Lan Sou Yu revealed a pair of pleading eyes. Although Concubine Heshu was jealous of her ability, she was still able to get along well with Lan Sou Yu.
She held Lan Shuyu’s wrist and said, “What did little sister say? If Daddy breaks down, big sister will also help Daddy get off the hook. She will not implicate little sister because of herself. Moreover, the letter is still ambiguous. Even if there is a big loophole, Daddy will find a way to make up for it in a short period of time.”
Lan Sou Yu was satisfied when she heard this. No matter what, she had already reached this point. There was nothing left to say.
As long as things were exposed, it was good that she did not implicate her reputation. She was also very afraid of things when she carried Chen Zaifu in the harem.
As for Lan Zhenglin’s illness, she had long since heard about it. At first, it was tuberculosis, but then it became more and more intense. Her mouth was like jealousy, her heart swelled, and her feet floated. However, after the doctor saw it, he said that everything was fine. It seemed that most of them didn’t have any life-threatening dangers.
It’s just that uncle’s matter is naturally very dangerous …
“Big sister, go back. Hurry up and think of a way. Don’t let the Emperor make a mistake.” As he spoke, Lan Su Yu pressed down on her temples. Shaling hurriedly walked over and supported Lan Su Yu. “Master, you too. Don’t think too much. Look at the pain in your head again.”
Lan Sou Yu weakly waved her hand. “The imperial physician said that you can’t blow the wind. I think I’d better not go out in the future. Just chant Buddha incense and pray for Daddy here …”
Concubine Heshu stood up and walked outside. The world was extremely cold. She had long since understood, but she did not expect the coldness in her heart to reach this extent. The coldness of the ice and snow almost made her sick. The two sisters who were inseparable from each other in the past had actually become estranged from each other now. It was true that they were fake and refused to leave a thousand miles away, wasn’t it?
When Concubine Heshu walked away, Lan Sou Yu leapt up from the chair. There was no sign of any headwind. She pointed at Shaling and said, “You know your own business. Bring my body box over.”
Shaling hurriedly ran to the inner room and took the box. It was drenched in a large amount of golden beads and precious jades. Lan Sou Yu immediately grabbed a large handful of them and delivered them to Shaling without looking. “You have to be more careful in the future. Whether you can handle this matter well or not is your business. I’m in a bad mood. Let’s rely on you to dismantle the fish head.”
Shaling accepted the reward and nodded in ecstasy. “Servant knows what to do. This isn’t something the Empress should have done.”
Imperial Concubine He Shu has been here several times since this day, There were two occasions when they were welcomed in, It was only Sha Ling who said a few words, She was still comforting him. Later, the wind blew and the grass started to stir. She didn’t dare to let He Shufei in openly. He Shufei came over earnestly with a bag of medicinal herbs in her hand. Sha Ling only received it through the crack in the door. “Thank you, Your Highness. It’s just that Master, Your Highness, can’t see anyone now. It looks very bad.”
“Little sister is very bad. Can you let me take a look inside?” He Shufei planned to say a few more words.
Shaling had already closed the door and said, “Your Highness is ignorant. Logically speaking, I should have let Your Highness come in to take a look. However, a headache is also a fatal illness. Sometimes, if someone bumps into you, you won’t be able to recover. Your status is now half unbounded. You are truly wronged Your Highness.” This time, it was clear. Concubine Heshu sighed slightly and left after standing outside for a while.
“Have you left yet?” The voice in the inner hall was like a ghost. Shaling smiled and walked into the inner hall. He looked at Lan Sou Yu and said, “This time, she will probably never come. In the past, she still felt that she had not declined. Now, it seems that everyone in the palaces is afraid of not being able to avoid her. How could anyone dare to interact with someone who is about to die?”
‘”That’s right,” Lan Sou Yu leisurely stroked the earth dragon beneath her feet. As she flew away, she sighed, “There are some things that must be done like this. This palace has never been indecisive, and only those who are resolute will probably be able to win!” As he spoke, he patted the table.
Imperial Concubine He Shu only felt a cold breeze blowing from her soul. She was like a straw that would fly against the wind very quickly. She touched Liang Jin Jin’s arm and coldly arrived at Kun De Palace. Now, there was no way to say that she still had to risk being chased out to ask the Empress for help.
After all, Ji Zhuhua was still able to move around freely. Imperial Concubine He Shu instantly walked there and knelt at the designated position. As expected, she took off her hairpin to apologize.
Dali Dynasty’s imperial concubine would have to take off her hairpin to apologize for her rudeness. Her entire head of pearls had been dismantled, and her dark green hair was like stars that filled the sky, still flickering with a faint light.
“Imperial Concubine Shu said so.” As Pei Lan spoke, he stretched out his hand. Ji Zhu Hua stood up and placed his hand on the back of her hand. “This palace’s words are a prophecy. It can be seen that it is a heavenly phenomenon. It is probably impossible to do anything that deceives one’s heart.”
Ji Zhuhua was like a tuberose standing in the wind. He stood in the hall and looked for a while before walking to Concubine Heshu in shock. Then, he stretched out his hand and prepared to support him. It was as if he had encountered snakes, insects, rats, and ants. He stopped in mid-air and didn’t move forward.
“Isn’t this Sister Shu Fei? What’s going on in Kun De Palace? She’s actually kneeling here.”
“This concubine is wrong. I hope that elder sister will let bygones be bygones and drag this concubine along. This concubine is willing to help elder sister in the future …” As he spoke, he kowtowed. His forehead was already blue and purple, and his forehead was already dirty. The dust mixed with blood made Concubine Heshu’s entire face look like a demon.
Ji Zhu Hua maintained Xi Ning’s smile as he watched Concubine Heshu kowtow. Concubine Heshu thought that this was tacit consent. Even if he could not keep the entire family safe, it was still good for him to be able to keep himself safe. Thus, he kowtowed even more attentively. The Empress only smiled slightly and looked at him with picturesque brows.
The weather outside became colder and colder. Pei Lan brought the Earth Dragon to the Empress’ feet. Concubine Heshu was still holding a sacred mass. “Your Highness has a kind heart and will definitely save my concubines. I have no way to repay you. Just these 1,000 heads. If Your Highness cares about the past …”
This was already the 500th time, and Pei Lan suddenly supported He Shu Fei.
Ji Zhuhua’s eyes widened as he looked at He Shufei, “Has this palace ever said that it will help you?”
Imperial Concubine He Shu almost fell down. She forcefully suppressed her anger and tightly gripped the futon in front of her. “Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine, you can’t just sit there and watch your death, Imperial Concubine.”
