The First Empress - Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Threats
It was late at night.
Night is coming to an end, and time is not moving.
He Shufei was originally sent to Kun De Palace by Shen Chi to take off her hairpin to apologize, but He Shufei did not do so.
In front of Hui Qi, he had a look, and when he arrived at Empress Ji Zhu Hua’s Kun De Palace, he was naturally completely different from before.
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Zhuhua repeatedly sneered. Naturally, the one who spoke the most was Imperial Concubine He Shu. After Ji Zhuhua smiled, Leng Feng crushed out a sentence between his teeth like a blade. “You mean, this palace actually became a monk on the same boat with you this time? This palace doesn’t matter if you are a threat or anything else.” Ji Zhu Hua closed his eyes to He Shu Fei. He Shu Fei could almost see a black shadow cast on Ji Zhu Hua’s eyelids. The shadow slowly covered her cold skin with trembling. The remaining words that he didn’t utter were also spoken with anger like an orchid. “This palace naturally wouldn’t be afraid.”
When He Shufei heard that the handkerchief in her hand was twisted twice, Lin Lang smiled and said, “The Empress is naturally not afraid, but those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. Could concubines still be afraid of wearing shoes when they are barefoot?” “First, the empress and her brother Qixiang Wang Ji have a debt of hell outside. This is something the emperor does not know. Second,” the wind in his eyes swept over. “The empress and Lord Ji Yu Xinyanshu have never stopped. If there is a movement in their apertures, it is not difficult to imagine the contents-”
The incense candles in the hall burned. Ji Zhuhua’s heart suddenly tightened. He said coldly, “You are threatening this palace. You said that you are not afraid to wear shoes barefoot. When this palace is also barefoot, you will know that you are even more miserable. The thing that this palace hates the most is being threatened. Don’t you know?” After Ji Zhuhua finished speaking, he nodded his chin and said, “Get out.”
He Shufei pointed at the prayer mat and said, “It must be known that this prayer mat is not only for concubines to kneel on. In the future, the Empress may not bow down on it. Since the Empress has already said that she is irreconcilable with concubines, she will not help her concubines to overcome their misfortune at all.” Then concubines are better off begging for help than begging for help. When the time comes, laugh off whatever you say, regardless of fault. ”
After he finished speaking, his chest still rose and fell heavily. Ji Zhuhua sneered repeatedly, “Slow–”
He slowly pressed his fingers on his temples, “What exactly are you going to do?”
Imperial concubine He Shu saw that the opportunity had come and thought for a while before finally saying, “Concubine, what do you want? I’ve already told the Empress. Why would Empress pretend to be foolish with an understanding?” Hearing this, Ji Zhuhua nodded his head. His expression did not differentiate between sorrow and joy. Suddenly, he sneered, “There are some things that this palace cannot give you. This palace can only give you a chance. Do you understand?”
“Concubine naturally understands that opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared. Concubine thinks that she is prepared at all times.” Seeing that there was about eighty to ninety percent chance of success, Concubine Heshu hurriedly interrupted.
Ji Zhuhua nodded. Perrin had already stood there and pressed down on Ji Zhuhua’s temples. The Empress sat loftily and said indifferently, “It’s like massaging on Ji Zhuhua’s temples. There’s a need for relaxation and restraint. I don’t want to say anything else. I believe that you understand, Imperial Concubine Shu, so just wipe your eyes.”
Concubine Heshu walked in front of the Empress. She took lotus steps. The Empress could only smell the fragrant wind and cover her nose, “Forget it, I know what you want to say. You don’t have to say it. This time, it won’t be the case. If you still use this incident to stir up trouble next time, I will naturally make you disappear without a sound.”
He Shufei waved her wide-robed sleeves and said, “Concubine, I understand. I’ll wait for the good news from the Empress.”
That night, Huiqi arrived at the Empress’ Kunde Palace. After the Empress welcomed him, she went to the inner hall to chat with Huiqi.
It was night again, and it was snow-capped. It was a bit of a galactic nightmare. The snow waves overlapped mountains and buried the early red poetic intent. Hui Qi looked at the Empress and said, “Has Imperial Concubine He Shu come over today?”
The Empress nodded her head repeatedly. Xi Ning smiled and said, “I’ve already been here in the morning. So has the Emperor. He took off his hairpin to apologize. I wonder how many people have criticized Imperial Concubine He Shu this time.”
Huiqi looked at the Empress as if she was looking at a stranger. After a long time, she said coldly, “Do you know what Concubine Heshu said in front of me?”
The Empress nodded. “I heard some people say that my concubines are colluding with my elder brother, Yun Yun. The Emperor is a Saint Sovereign, so I know that this matter is probably made out of nothing, isn’t it?” Ji Zhuhua raised his eyebrows. Huiqi held Ji Zhuhua’s hand. “Of course not. It’s just–”
“It’s just that the flies don’t bite the seamless eggs. Perhaps, she let He Shufei know something?”
“This concubine has two sleeves. The Emperor can order people to look around to see if there are any hidden songs with his elder brother.” Ji Zhu Hua was already prepared to deal with Yu Ru completely. This made Huiqi very surprised. Seeing that the Empress did not look like she was lying, Huiqi nodded. “It’s just a woman’s opinion. Didn’t I know that you are my strongest person? About Concubine Heshu …”
Originally, he thought that Hui Qi was going to knock on the mountain to shake the tiger, but Ji Zhuhua was a little afraid. When he heard this, he laughed heartily, “This concubine thought that Imperial Concubine He Shufei had lost her favor for a long time. As long as the Emperor listened to this concubine’s words, there would naturally be no problem. I wonder if the Emperor not?”
Hui Qi said, “Tell me.”
“Concubine Heshu used to do these small gestures, not as good as the emperor to do a favor is also good, take advantage of when the green-headed card also flip her once or twice, if she knew that her stomach is useless, these things out of thin air. Ji Zhuhua slowly analyzed, “First, we can put an end to the leisurely mouth. Second, the Emperor doesn’t need to be afraid of the Minister of Rites and the others.”
After Hui Qi heard this, his expression turned slightly pale. “Forget it, let’s do as you said. After all, Imperial Concubine He Shu is also trying to compete for favor.”
“That’s it.” Ji Zhuhua helped the emperor change his clothes. “Your Majesty, you should rest early. Your concubines will help you change your clothes.”
Hui Qi seemed to be thinking about something. Just as the Empress reached out her hand, Hui Qi casually swept it into the air and said, “You don’t have to. I still have things to attend to tonight.”
“What’s the matter, Your Majesty?” Seeing this, Ji Zhuhua’s heart sank. Huiqi stood up and was about to leave. He called Eunuch Lu and said, “It’s not that I don’t linger here. I really have something to do tonight.”
Only then did the Empress’s fingers unfreeze, and she said indifferently, “Then the Emperor will go to work.”
Huiqi ignored Ji Zhuhua’s attitude and smiled ambiguously. He nodded and walked out.
It was ice and snow outside, reflecting bright yellow clothes and bright yellow lanterns. Huiqi changed his cloak and walked into the snowstorm. He felt as if the snow particles were going to drill into his nostrils, and the air was much fresher.
“Where is the Emperor going?” Eunuch Lu bent his belt and walked in front of the Emperor.
Hui Qi lightly tapped his temple with his hand and nodded after thinking for a while. “Let’s go to Li Chongyuan Palace to take a look first, and then to Yunluan Palace.”
After saying that, Eunuch Lu nodded and instructed Shoulder Yu to stand up. Only then did he lengthen his voice. “Get up–” After Huiqi left, a large number of footprints were left in the snow. Empress Ji Zhuhua walked out and looked at the footprints in a daze. “Did you go to Bu Linglong’s place?”
Perrin nodded, “I said I should go to Little Lord Chong Yuan’s place first, and then to Bu Jieyu’s place.”
The Empress’ nails were embedded in her palm. “I see. Let’s go down.”
Hong Mei nodded, spring approaching.
When the eunuch reported the Emperor’s arrival, Li Chongyuan hurriedly stood up, because he recalled that the Emperor did not need to salute him last time. This was good. To make Li Chongyuan look pretty, it was extremely awkward, and it was even worse not to salute him.
The Emperor had already walked in. Li Chongyuan bowed slightly and said, “Greetings to the Emperor.”
As he hurriedly reached out to help Huiqi take off his cloak, Huiqi patted his cloak and said indifferently, “I’ve already said that you don’t have to salute, but are you disobedient now?”
Li Chongyuan raised her head, her gaze like a warm stream of water, landing between Hui Qi’s eyebrows. “This concubine-this concubine doesn’t want to salute, but why does she have to salute so thoroughly when tortured by the fetus in her belly? If the Emperor wants to blame her, then blame her own child.”
“That won’t do. I can’t blame a child,” he said as he sat on the warm couch. “What did you eat today? What did you use today? Are you alright?”
Li Chongyuan nodded, as if he was announcing the dishes. Hui Qi patted his knee and nodded. In the blink of an eye, it had already been two months. Although he couldn’t see his body, Li Chongyuan also paid special attention to it.
Huiqi moved closer and stroked Li Chongyuan’s hand. Li Chongyuan quickly dodged, “This concubine, this concubine is not convenient to serve. I hope the Emperor will excuse me.” Only then did Huiqi withdraw his ape and nod his head, “I will go to your big sister Bu’s place later. However, there are many things today, and I am not willing to part with you, so I came over to see you.”
Li Chongyuan smiled and said, “Does the Emperor really think that He Shufei will be so easy to talk to? Will Cheng’en be even more benevolent in the future?”
Li Chongyuan was a very kind person and never attacked anyone. However, He Shufei’s stirring up trouble had secretly formed a cocoon in her heart. When she encountered him, she was naturally suppressed.
Hui Qi looked sideways and said, “You mean she would be proud of her favor?”
Li Chongyuan nodded. “The Emperor is wise and he naturally knows what to do. The Emperor has never seen Sister Shu Fei’s face in the harem. It’s just that you shouldn’t indulge in arrogance.”
Huiqi nodded slightly and said, “I was thinking the same way, but …” However, his heart was still a little restless.
After chatting for a while, she had already arrived at Bu Linglong’s Cloud Phoenix Palace. This was a rare sight for the Emperor to have not stayed overnight and instead set his final goal at Linglong. Linglong was naturally flattered.
Hui Qi naturally also talked about He Shufei, “Jie Yu, what do you think? You have always been a real language interpreter. Tell me about it.”
Linglong naturally had a wise and protective attitude. “That’s fine. This concubine thinks that this matter can be big or small. Nature is not good, or is it small. Then it’s up to the Emperor’s wisdom. This requires the Emperor to make his own decisions.”
“You can speak. You haven’t said anything for a while. Don’t be afraid of offending the Empress or Li Chongyuan. Just say it. After you say it, I’ll be in my left ear and out of my right.” Said Huiqi.
‘”Then the emperor’s left ear should go in and out of his right ear. This concubine thinks that we should do as little sister Chong Yuan says. Concubine He Shu doesn’t need to think about being proud because of her pet. The emperor is not a woman from the Deep Palace. Do you know that the woman from the Deep Palace has a keen sensation?” After Linglong finished speaking, she nodded and Hui Qi clenched his fists. “I understand. Even Chong Yuan and you have such attitudes. I naturally understand He Shufei’s character.”
Hearing this, Linglong was secretly shocked. She held the handkerchief to conceal the shock that flashed across her heart. She smiled back and said, “Your Majesty, are you tired? Why don’t you rest early?”
Only then did Huiqi feel as if he had returned from a night of running exhaustion. He nodded and said, “That’s good.”
