The First Empress - Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Cross-legged; Cross-Legged
Now that winter was approaching the end, the snow on the road had been cleaned up. Today, the snow was falling and the sad wind was hovering. Li Chongyuan walked outside and looked at the fine weather. After saying a few words to the maid, the maid helped Li Chongyuan to the Empress.

Because yesterday, the Empress said that she still had the patterns of children’s clothes on hand. Originally, she wanted Perrin to send them over, but today, she didn’t. Li Chongyuan planned to go to Kunde Palace by herself.

One was to relax, and the other was to take a walk. It was naturally good to kill two birds with one stone.

Snow fell from the branches one after another. Li Chongyuan dodged while covering her abdomen. Because she was pregnant, she walked carefully this time. Normally, she did not like to be followed. Today, she followed a large area behind her.

A mature aunt sent Mrs. Tang over. Li Chongyuan caught it and held it in her hand. Also, the female servant hurriedly followed behind and took a green umbrella. Although Li Chongyuan did not have any promotion, she could not speak the same words as usual. Even if she wanted to walk alone, she could not. All of these were orders from the Emperor that she could only reluctantly agree.

“I’ll do it myself. You’re so tired.” Li Chongyuan was about to snatch the umbrella when the maidservant teared up. “Little Lord, let this servant come. If this servant can’t even do such a small thing, then what face does this servant have to live in Zihua City?”

Li Chongyuan naturally knew what she meant when she heard this female servant say that she was scared. If she didn’t carry an umbrella, she would naturally have a divine ability to inform the Emperor. At that time, it wouldn’t be as simple as cutting off one’s hands and feet. Li Chongyuan understood that Guan Qiao had also let go.

As she walked forward, she happened to meet Linglong. Linglong nodded her head and said, “Are you going to the Empress Palace as well? Did you taste the bird’s nest I gave you yesterday?”

As soon as Li Chongyuan left, she hooked a bowl of the bird’s nest with honey and nodded. “Big sister, you have a good bird’s nest.”

Linglong’s eyebrows were filled with anxiety. She held Li Chongyuan’s hand and the two walked slowly. “You really are. You’ve already shown yourself. You’re still walking around like this. Just open your mouth and ask for anything. If anything goes wrong in this way, it’s not a joke.” Li Chongyuan nodded and said, “Sister is worried. Sister is just taking a casual walk. She probably wants to get some air out of her heart. Yesterday, I heard the Empress say that she has flowers on her side, so I came over to take a look.”

Linglong looked at the many palace maids behind Li Chongyuan. She was also stunned. It was indeed like this that would drive people crazy. It was impossible for them to do anything for a long time. Because Linglong wanted to talk to Li Chongyuan for a while, so she naturally took the green umbrella. “I’ll just take the umbrella for my sister. You guys slow down.”

Everyone followed slowly, but their eyes were fixed on Li Chongyuan’s stomach. Li Chongyuan sneered repeatedly.

There were even two capable eunuchs walking in front, one with a backward coal ash and the other with a shovel. As a result, there was no snow on the road ahead. Linglong secretly envied, “You’re lucky. Now, there’s no red carpet left for you. What do you think now?”

Li Chongyuan smiled and lifted her lips. “Anyway, it’s unnatural. What’s wrong? I just feel very sad.”

“That’s right. It’s not easy to sit in the Bu Chuai Hall.” Linglong said a few more words to Li Chongyuan. Li Chongyuan also knew that Linglong wanted to speak for Paulo, so she came to the Empress and naturally agreed.

Seeing Li Chongyuan enter, Ji Zhuhua didn’t dare to let Li Chongyuan greet him. He held Li Chongyuan’s hand while letting Li Chongyuan sit beside his own.

“Sister Chongyuan, you can see it now. You still have to be careful. Don’t be careless.” As she spoke, she handed the prepared flowers to the servant behind her. Li Chongyuan nodded and said, “Today is a neat day. Is it a day?”

“It’s not a great day. It’s just the last day of the cold weather. The people call it” dispelling the cold. “Everyone needs to get together to celebrate this day.” At this point, Li Chongyuan couldn’t help but be interested. Li Chongyuan reached out and touched the hazy pearl above her head. She looked at Linglong and said, “Sister Bu, it’s good now. This is the first time this festival has been celebrated.”

Ji Zhuhua smiled and stood up, “Probably just going to the garden to commemorate the Snow God. It’s nothing special. Besides, you’re a person with a body, so it’s not convenient to walk around. Forget it, it’s fine.”

Before Li Chongyuan could say anything, He Shufei said coldly, “Is there anything special about having a body that can’t even walk?”

This sentence was very interesting. Linglong was slightly dissatisfied and said, “Imperial Concubine Shu, you don’t need to speak like this. It can be seen that pregnancy is still the same as your own cultivation. Otherwise, you can’t do it. Imperial Concubine Shu is tactful and shouldn’t talk about this here.”

Ji Zhuhua smiled coldly as if he didn’t hear anything.

The Ningguta clan laughed fiercely and nodded, “This is also the good fortune of Imperial Concubine Shu. I’m afraid she can’t do without the saying,” If you can’t eat grapes, you can say that grapes are sour. ”

After she finished speaking, she burst into laughter. Imperial Concubine He Shu was no longer as normal as usual, so she could only swallow this breath.

Ji Zhuhua stood up and said, “The banquet is ready. Let’s go to the back.”

Everyone stood up, and a dress sounded.

After a while, they arrived at the back garden of Kunde Palace. It was as if spring had arrived ahead of time. Because there were more bamboo and pine trees planted, they looked green and pleasing to the eye.

In front of him was a nine-curve corridor. The two sides of the corridor were already separated by bead curtains, and the earth dragons were burning inside. It was very warm.

Ji Zhu Hua held Li Chongyuan’s hand and walked at the front. Behind him were He Shu Fei and Ling Long, and Lan Sou Yu came down. He Shu Fei often turned around to talk to Lan Sou Yu, but it seemed that Lan Sou Yu did not want to talk anymore. This little sister was very good at making a wall grass. In order to show her hidden abilities, Lan Sou Yu also wanted to show that she wasn’t with this stupid He Shu Fei in front of the Empress. Behind them were Ning Guta’s Yun Ya, Tong Jia’s Tai Lan, De Fei, Chen Chong Yi at the end of Shun Fei, and so on.

The ground was wet when she arrived at the Hand-plagiarizing Corridor. Because it was not dried yet, it was very slippery when she walked on it. The Empress was afraid of falling, so she naturally walked to the front first. She turned around and asked Pei Lan to put the red carpet on.

At this time, it was unknown who pushed who, Before he could react, Li Chongyuan had already been pushed in front of the Empress. The Empress was caught off guard and landed on the ground. Linglong was standing in the second row. It was too late to save her. She threw herself onto the ground horizontally. Li Chongyuan was shocked and fell on the pillar with a green face. She landed softly on Linglong and fainted.

Only then did the Empress react. Panicked, he hurriedly helped Li Chongyuan up. Ning Guta walked to the front, She also came to help, but there was no one to help Linglong who was at the bottom. Linglong stretched out her hand and felt wet. At first, she did not feel anything. When she looked carefully, her hands were covered in bright red blood. She felt bad and did not have time to wipe them off. She helped Li Chongyuan into the warm corridor. “Hurry up and invite Hu Zongnan and Pei Minghai over!”

The Empress also widened her eyes and looked at the crowd with uncontrollable anger. “What exactly is going on? Who can tell who stretched out the claw of Mount Lu? This vicious little whore, this palace will definitely not let go!”

The wind in her eyes swept across everyone in front of her. Some people’s faces were calm, some people were gloating over their misfortune, and there were naturally some who didn’t care. Linglong carefully placed Li Chongyuan’s head on her knee. Li Chongyuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at Linglong and said, “Sister, are you alright?”

Linglong choked, “Big sister is fine, I’m just bitter for you.”

Li Chongyuan only felt a stomachache, but there wasn’t much movement. He tried his best to get up, but Ji Zhuhua hurriedly pressed down on her. “What do you think? The imperial physician is coming soon, so you have to give it to this palace.” The Empress said softly. Although Li Chongyuan had never experienced this before, she probably knew what had happened to her.

He lowered his head and saw the red bloodstains on his trousers. “What, what happened to me?”

Ji Zhu Hua was slightly stunned. “Let the imperial physician come over and take a look before we know what’s going on.”

Not long after, Li Chongyuan knitted her brows, “It hurts, Empress, it hurts.” This was no joke. Li Chongyuan fainted in pain. A series of cold sweats covered her forehead. Linglong held Li Chongyuan’s hand and prayed silently in her heart while waiting anxiously.

Ji Zhuhua’s eyes widened as he swept his gaze over the concubines behind him. “You guys are too bold. You’ve all knelt down before this palace!”

Everyone was kneeling trembling. Concubine De was also kneeling. However, she still said, “Your Highness, it’s not time to delay. Investigate now.”

Ji Zhuhua’s eyes widened as he walked to the side of the crowd. They knelt neatly. Ji Zhuhua stood in the rows that were as clear as the lines. As he walked slightly, he paused in front of Concubine Heshu. He then walked in front of Ning Guta. He paused for a moment and finally walked in front of Lan Sou Yu.

“This concubine is wronged, not this concubine. Your Highness’ divine eyes are like lightning. How could this concubine dare to do something like this in broad daylight? This concubine definitely would not dare!” Lan Sou Yu raised her head and couldn’t help but be frightened. After all, if the murder of the dragon descendants was caught on the head, the calamity of the nine races would be small, and they would naturally tremble with fear.

“This palace naturally knows that it’s not you!”

The Empress walked to the fifth row and then came back. She wanted to see the people in the first few rows. If she wanted to say that the people in the last few rows were weak, even if she wanted to do something bad, it was not so accurate. Then, it could only be someone in the first five rows or someone else who had used a trick.

The Empress looked at the people crawling on the ground, their sleeves trembling slightly. Ji Zhuhua nodded and looked at them, then waved his hand. Pei Lan helped De Fei up.

“Little sister De Fei, take a look. Which one of these people is the real murderer?”
