The First Empress - Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Fluctuation
Li Chongyuan nodded repeatedly, “Help me thank Concubine De. I have to rely more on Concubine De for my matters.”

The two of them walked to the front. The snow was wet and slippery. Li Chongyuan wanted to see what was inside the envelope. Was this a brilliant trick that could be done by them?

There was a secret letter hidden in Linglong’s sleeve as she supported Li Chongyuan. After all, Xiao Chang’s body could not be so anxious and worried.

After arriving at Li Chongyuan’s palace with great difficulty, Linglong opened the envelope and held the mica note in her hand. When she saw the contents inside, she couldn’t help but feel a little hesitant. What did Concubine De mean?

Most of the envelopes were left blank. There was only one word in the middle, “Wait.” This letter had a quiet scent of sandalwood. Linglong only felt warm like the warm sun, but this word made Linglong feel uneasy in her heart. The Empress would definitely ask herself. It was naturally impossible for her to keep pushing things back. On the other hand, Concubine De’s attitude made things even more difficult for her.

“Sister, what is written on the letter?” Li Chongyuan suddenly stretched out her hand. Only then did Linglong recover from her shock and grasped the letter. “Little sister, it’s good that you trust big sister. It’s better for you not to read it for the time being.”

To Li Chongyuan, the contents of this book were akin to a catastrophe. Whether she saw it or not was between two choices. However, Linglong still felt that Li Chongyuan should not be allowed to see it anymore, so as to prevent her from becoming even more anxious.

Li Chongyuan believed in Linglong’s intentions. Moreover, she couldn’t interfere with this matter. She nodded and retreated. “Sister, eat tea, eat tea-” However, her mind floated into the distant sky. Linglong held the cup of water and looked at the sky while thinking about these things.

Suddenly, Qin’er rushed over and said, “The Empress is indeed here. The Empress is summoning the Empress.”

Linglong’s heart tightened as she asked, “When?”

“Immediately.”

Linglong hurriedly stood up, put away the letter, handed it to Qin’er, and said goodbye to Li Chongyuan before walking outside.

“It’s like burning eyebrows, but what’s the matter?” Linglong asked. Qin’er didn’t know what was going on. She just described the movements of the messenger eunuch. Linglong nodded and went to the carriage.

After arriving at Kun De Palace and sending a message from the second door, the Empress finally let Ling Long enter the inner hall.

Ji Zhu Hua was still dressed in a bright and gorgeous manner. Ping Ting was like a camellia. She asked, “How is little sister Chong Yuan recently?”

“Thanks to Empress Hong Fu, it’s much better.” Linglong could only adapt to the situation. Sometimes, she was afraid of the Empress. But sometimes, when she saw the Empress’s Xi Ning smile, it was as if she was bathed in spring breeze. The Empress gave people a feeling of kindness with dignity and care with a little reproach. It was as if Linglong was still not doing a good job.

“That’s good. I was going to take a look, but I can’t move because of the sudden change in the wind.” At this point, he turned around and said, “What’s going on? Do you have any clues?”

Linglong knew what the Empress meant. Her eyes were staring at her. She was fearless and fearless. She nodded and said, “It’s about time. However, you can’t use a rat-catching weapon. You still need to testify. We’re investigating.”

“That’s good. You understand. I won’t say anything more.” Ji Zhuhua’s phoenix eyes turned and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Sometimes, the most precious thing is the heat. It’s like fried chestnuts with sugar, and you’re satisfied with this jade.” Wide-robed and wide-sleeved unconsciously touched the jade ruyi that was placed at the corner of the table. Linglong thought to herself that it was not good. Before she could hug the jade ruyi, she saw the bright light flickering in the air and falling straight to the ground.

Just as he was about to touch the ground in midair, Ji Zhuhua actually managed to catch him.

Linglong felt that it was really terrifying. Ji Zhuhua looked like a weak woman. She didn’t expect that she would be so fast. She couldn’t help but be secretly speechless.

“This is the heat. Does Sister Jieyu understand?” Yu Ruyi slowly handed it over with her hands.

“This concubine understands. This concubine is taught.”

“That’s good,” Ji Zhuhua nodded his chin. “It’s best that you understand. If you want to have a mind of your own, you have to make a move when you need to. Anyway, I’m behind you. Just let go of it.”

“This concubine, this concubine understands.” Linglong suddenly felt a little afraid.

Ji Zhu Hua did not have the slightest fluctuation in his expression as he sent the jade ruyi over. “Take this little thing back. It’s a gift from this palace,” said Ji Zhu Hua.

Linglong hurriedly walked out with Yu Ruyi in her arms.

Ruyi, Ruyi, Ruyi?

However, what happened today was just the beginning. There was still a series of things waiting for Linglong.

Just as she returned to the Cloud Phoenix Palace and placed Yu Ruyi on the table, Qin’er came over in a panic. “Which palace is looking for me? My avatar is really useless.” Linglong was unhappy. Qin’er stopped in front of Linglong and said, “It’s Little Lord Chongyuan who greets you. Also …”

“What else?” Linglong raised her eyebrows.

“And Imperial Concubine Rou.”

“Alright, I understand.” As she spoke, Linglong stood up. Not long after, she had already arrived at Li Chongyuan’s inner hall. She only saw a few palace maids looking outside. Some eunuchs were busy entering and leaving, and Linglong walked into the inner hall.

Seeing Li Chongyuan and Rou Fei sitting opposite each other, Rou Fei did not feel anything. Seeing Ling Long coming over, she only nodded slightly. Ling Long walked to Li Chongyuan’s side with a salute and looked at the mess on the floor. Only then did she reach out and the little supervisor outside dare to come in to clean up the mess.

“What’s going on? Little sister is not in good health. If this ruckus reaches the Empress’ ears, I’ll be a fool again.” Linglong affectionately scratched Li Chongyuan’s nose. Li Chongyuan’s face was already crying, and a soft rouge was hanging on her face as if tears were falling down her cheeks. It was filled with killing intent.

Linglong hurriedly brought a handkerchief over to wipe Li Chongyuan’s tears. Li Chongyuan took the handkerchief and looked at Linglong with a trembling voice, “Big sister, can you help little sister?”

“Naturally, it’s up to you,” Linglong looked sideways. “Just what …”

Li Chongyuan tightly held onto Linglong’s hand. Linglong felt that both of her hands were like vines wrapped around her palm. It was cold. “Since you’re in charge,” she said, clenching her hands tightly.

“Then, big sister, listen to what Imperial Concubine Rou witnessed that day. After listening to it, it’s self-evident. Little sister, I…” Li Chongyuan had already started crying. Soon, she could not stop crying. Linglong removed the armor from her hand and helped Li Chongyuan wipe away her tears.

“Sister, it’s important to listen to Imperial Concubine Rou’s words. Sister is just sad. Tears will always run out. Sister, don’t worry about me.” He snatched the handkerchief.

Linglong looked at Imperial Concubine Rou and said seriously, “What did Imperial Concubine Rou see? If the facts are reliable, then please ask Imperial Concubine Rou to go to Imperial Concubine De and Empress Rou. I alone may not be able to speak lightly.”

Linglong was afraid of cheating, so she could only say this.

Imperial concubine Rou was cowardly, He nodded, “I saw us in the corridor that day, At that wet, slippery front, Imperial concubine He Shu suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed little sister Chong Yuan. Little sister Chong Yuan fell down. The reason why I didn’t know about it was because I was afraid of Imperial concubine He Shu. She sat on equal footing with the fourth imperial concubine of this palace. On the one hand, I thought that there was no need to involve her. On the other hand, I naturally wouldn’t be enemies with little sister Chong Yuan, so I ended up dying myself today. ”

Linglong secretly sighed, “Your Highness is confused. It’s best to testify earlier. It’s not easy to do things now. I can’t decide for myself. Let’s go to the Empress now.”

Hearing this, Concubine Rou’s timid expression became even more obvious. He shrank back and said, “I really cannot go. If Imperial Concubine He Shu cleverly deceives me this time, then Imperial Concubine He Shu will not let me go in the future.”

Linglong sneered in her heart, but her face was like a spring breeze. “So the Empress reported it anonymously and did not intend to testify?”

Imperial Concubine Rou nodded her head, “Everyone has a sky above their heads. Sister can’t understand how good it is.”

Li Chongyuan complained, “Is the Empress really not helping my sister?”

Imperial concubine Rou didn’t know what to say, but she hurriedly wiped her face with a handkerchief. “It’s not that I didn’t help you. Although I’m ranked fourth imperial concubine, you don’t know that I don’t have much wealth like the Ningguta clan. It’s just that I lost my favor today because of my face at that time,” said Imperial concubine Rou. At this point, the implication was self-evident, and Linglong sat silently.

Li Chongyuan stomped her feet repeatedly, looking restless.

“Anyway, if you see it, then you see it. Don’t you believe what I said?” Concubine Rou asked.

Linglong nodded, “Of course I do, but this is not the first time my sister has heard of this. Someone reported it a few days ago, saying that it is …”

Li Chongyuan hurriedly grabbed Linglong’s wrist. This was the first time she had reported anything. Why was Linglong …

Linglong used her gaze to stop Li Chongyuan and said, “The previous time someone reported it, it didn’t seem to be the same person as what the Empress said, so this matter is still in the exam, so she can’t do anything to anyone for the time being.”

Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Rou was secretly anxious, “Sister, do you not believe this palace?”

“Of course I do. However, I don’t have much evidence in my hands. I still need to slowly search for it.” Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Rou felt relieved and said a few words casually.

When Li Chongyuan saw Concubine Rou leave, he scolded Linglong slightly, “Sister, are you really going to stand by and watch?”

Linglong sneered, “At that time, you will naturally know that elder sister will never stand by idly. Elder sister will always stand behind younger sister.”

Hearing this, Li Chongyuan nodded her head. However, her heart was still burning with ignorance. She could no longer hold back any longer. She picked a chrysanthemum hairpin from above her head. The hairpin was exceptionally sharp. She slowly stood up. Linglong looked strange and hurriedly pressed down on Li Chongyuan’s shoulder. “Sister, what are you doing?”

“I want revenge, I want revenge for my child.” As he spoke, he stood up, as cold as an ice sculpture.

Linglong hurriedly pressed down on Li Chongyuan’s shoulder and said, “Sister, can you take revenge just like this?”

Li Chongyuan was slightly alert and looked back at Linglong. “Sister, what do you mean?”

“Wait and see what happens.” ‘”Sister, take a look at Concubine De’s meaning. It’s good not to cripple her words because of others, but you have to hold back. Don’t make a raft for others. At that time, not only will you be my sister, but even I won’t be able to get off the stage,” Linglong said as she handed over the note written by Concubine De from her sleeve.

Li Chongyuan grabbed the paper and trembled violently. “According to sister’s intentions, it would be too complacent for the person behind me to be silent all of a sudden. No, I can’t swallow this breath.”

“Even if you can’t swallow it, you still have to swallow it. If you’re wrong this time, you won’t have a chance. You’ve also seen the methods of the women in the palace. Moreover, Concubine Rou has already indicated that she won’t show up. At that time, it won’t be beautiful to sit on wax.” Linglong whispered softly. Li Chongyuan also heard a lot and nodded, “I know what to do.”

“It’s good to know.” Linglong nodded, “It’s not that we don’t want revenge, it’s just that we don’t have enough power right now.”

Imperial Concubine Rou had already walked out at this time. The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon. Suddenly, a person rushed over and blocked Imperial Concubine Rou’s path.

“Greetings, Your Highness. We’re still waiting for news, Your Highness.” The one speaking was a little eunuch.

Imperial concubine Rou was originally thinking about something, but she was so scared that she was stopped by such a person that she hurriedly stroked her chest. “Tell her, tell her that I have already said what I should say. As for whether Bu Jieyu will do this or not is Bu Jieyu’s matter, I have already done my best.”

The little eunuch nodded and walked away.
