The First Empress - Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Seek Advice
Linglong’s heart was in turmoil. She felt like a rock being pushed into a torrent. She could only seek an invincible position in the turbulence. She felt like a skylark sent into a hurricane. She could only use her wings to fight against the shadowless dark forces. It was already the first time she had left the door. The golden wind had sent her shadow over.

On the ground, there was a dark black shadow that looked like a ghost, but his shadow startled him.

The next day, without Ji Zhuhua’s message, Linglong was naturally much more relaxed. As she was preparing the New Year’s peach talisman in the palace, Chen Chongyi and Princess Baoluo had already walked in one after another. Linglong had been busy taking care of Li Chongyuan recently, so she rarely went to Chen Chongyi’s place. Today, she saw that Baoluo was as lively as a butterfly, so she smiled.

“Forget it, you’re worried about me.” As Linglong said this, she slightly turned her eyes to Bao Luo and smiled. “Bao Luo naturally knew that Big Sister Bu was worried. However, Big Sister Bu has indeed made great strides in the past few days. She probably won’t pay attention to me anymore, so I came here to pay my respects to Big Sister Bu personally today.”

“Look at you, Flag in the Wind is like a fish in a wave. It really is great.” Linglong held Baoluo’s hand. Chen Chongyi bent down slightly, so that she could clearly see Linglong’s facial features. Linglong avoided Chen Chongyi’s pair of beautiful eyes filled with exploration. “What are you looking at, sister?”

Chen Chongyi’s pitch-black pupils were like an ancient well. Although it was indistinguishable between sorrow and joy, it could be seen that a kind of insightful light was slowly forming. “Everyone said that others, look at you as well. You must be tired recently.”

Linglong felt a touch of emotion surge out from her chest and stomach. Even the humiliation she felt in the open and in the dark for the past few days was stirred up. “There are some things that I originally couldn’t do, but unfortunately, the desire to stay calm is endless. Now that I’m sitting in this high position, I can’t do anything big with the corpse meal. This is a shame.”

Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong’s side face and saw a gentle and elegant line outlining Linglong’s face along her smooth cheeks. In the end, she felt that Linglong was too soft and not sharp.

The pair of shrewd and deep eyes flashed for a moment before he said, “To stand here steadily, you need some little intelligence.”

Linglong naturally knew that Chen Chongyi had a self-defense technique. Otherwise, she would have been killed by someone in the dark all these years ago. Such a woman had no merit and had never done anything, not even the slightest bit of right and wrong. It was really rare in the inner court of the Deep Palace.

Linglong also wanted to ask about the way to behave in the harem recently. When she heard this, she immediately lowered her eyes and asked, “Can elder sister teach me a lesson or two? It’s better than younger sister being like a fly on her brows. Now, elder sister has also seen it. There are people in He Palace who are unconvinced of me, and there are people who make trouble when they fall …”

Her intuition, whether it was Ying Baotai, concealing one’s strength, or protecting one’s health, was not effective. To learn something, one naturally needed to slowly teach it in front of them. This was good.

Although the woman in front of her seemed weak, this person did not have any arrogance, but there was a kind of arrogance. Linglong really wanted to know something about her.

Chen Chongyi had always been calm and expressionless, especially when she was outside. There was another advantage, that was, she didn’t say anything. She shook her head and didn’t know. Linglong thought of this and secretly remembered.

Seeing Chen Chongyi’s slightly excited expression, he stared at Linglong, “Do you really want to hear it?”

Chen Chongyi stared at Linglong with a fierce gaze. Linglong actually felt that the woman who had always been indifferent to the world had such a sharp side. She couldn’t help but be secretly speechless. “Sister, listen carefully. Sister, can you say it out loud?”

Chen Chongyi’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Back then, I was actually very rejected in the hidden mansion. I’m sure you’ve heard of it …”

Linglong nodded.

“At that time, the hidden residence was different from the current imperial city. At that time, the competition for favor was conducted secretly. But then again, it was just a competition between Fu Jin and his concubine. Originally, it was not worth mentioning, but I really wanted to tell you.” Chen Chongyi was a little hesitant to say anything, and Linglong’s encouraging gaze fell. Only then did Chen Chongyi look at Linglong, “You also know that elder sister, I don’t have the right or power. If you want to ascend, you can only think of a way to apply powder every day and dress up so beautifully.” However, there are many women in the hidden mansion. Everyone can’t find Yao Yaoyan anymore. I changed another way. It’s like doing business. “No one has me, no one has me, no one has me, no one has me.” So what do you think sister should do then? ”

Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong with a trace of deep thought in her eyes.

“Elder sister was naturally dressed plainly at that time. The plainer the better, right?”

Chen Chongyi nodded. ‘”You guessed it from the beginning, but this is only the beginning-” Linglong felt that there was a heavy aura in the air for no reason. The gradually darkening night seemed to be filled with haze, as if countless venomous snakes and ferocious beasts were about to move. Her eyes did not leave Chen Chongyi’s eyes for a moment, and her heart was filled with curiosity.

Chen Chongyi’s gaze shot over, as if it could pierce through the essence of any human soul. He looked at Linglong and said, “To compete for favor, one must not only have brains, but also be ruthless.”

Linglong’s expression immediately sank, “What is ruthlessness?”

“Back then, I was pregnant with Princess Baoluo. I wasn’t proud of my favor. At that time, there was also a side lucky advancement.” Chen Chongyi’s gaze darkened. “Back then, Xiang Fujin was pregnant with a child. In the end, the baby in his stomach was knocked off by a bowl of safflower for no reason. He said that he drank the safflower before he was knocked off. Actually, my sister doesn’t know anything about it. I did this.”

“Ah?” Linglong simply couldn’t believe that Chen Chongyi would do such a vicious thing. Chen Chongyi naturally saw Linglong’s unwillingness, but she forcefully suppressed the pain in her heart and said, “At that time, I used a long distance and close combat method. There was also a woman who had just been favored. She was originally the maid who cleaned the teahouse. I knew that this woman wanted to ascend to the throne, and she hated me as much as Xiang Fujin.” Once the two of them give birth to a child, they will naturally be doted on. One day, I found this woman and pretended to unite with her. I said that I would get rid of this Xian Fujin first. ”

Linglong had already thought about it. This woman was naturally reluctant. However, Chen Chongyi, who was pregnant, was naturally not forbidden in front of her. With a shield and the ability to get rid of a person, she could not wait for it. Thus, he formulated a series of plans until one day he removed the fetus from the woman’s stomach. However, what he saw was Chen Chongyi, who was about to give birth in October, kneeling in front of Huiqi with tears streaming down her cheeks. As she testified, she was arrested and killed when she shouted that she was wrongly accused.

After listening to Linglong’s words, she was almost frightened by Chen Chongyi’s attitude of decorating the peace. She asked, “You mean to let me join forces with other people’s forces, and then …”

Chen Chongyi raised her chin and said, “Could it be that you want to be like me, old and weak, weak and fond of traveling, and never see the Emperor again?”

“No, I don’t seem to be able to do such a thing. Isn’t it a shame to be so pampered?” Linglong didn’t know what was going on, but her heart was in a mess.

After Chen Chongyi heard this, he smiled indifferently. “You are nearly fifteen years younger than sister. You have never encountered such things before. However, sister still wishes to remind you that you cannot trust all people. Also, you can only have everything if you are blessed. Otherwise, it would be useless.”

‘”Could it be that one day I will really become so dangerous and terrifying?” Linglong thought thoughtfully.

Chen Chongyi sneered, “The situation is better than others. Sometimes, it’s impossible to say that you have to do two things that you don’t want to do.”

“Then, what happened to elder sister?”

“Afterwards, I gave birth to Princess Baoluo smoothly, and then I seldom competed for favor. My sister and I are probably different. We don’t have the same fate. I want to live a good life. Even if I marry a trafficker, I definitely don’t want to marry into the Tian Clan. The lack of freedom and suffering here are nothing to outsiders.”

Chen Chongyi held Linglong’s hand and said, “Did you ever hear of a story when your sister was a child?”

Linglong gathered her spirits and nodded, “Sister, tell me.”

“It’s just a crow and a fox. If the fox hadn’t concealed its true colors, would it have never eaten that piece of jerky?” Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong. Linglong nodded, “Even so, I always feel that there are some things that I can’t do unless I have no choice but to. Is this still me with my hands full of slaughter and bloodshed?”

“Crow singing or crow? Little sister, you should know that sometimes you can deceive others. Although little sister doesn’t dote on the Six Palaces, little sister is already a great celebrity. As long as you do something that doesn’t pay off, many people will help little sister in secret. However, little sister is as simple-minded as a person. Naturally, she hates this kind of sermon. ” Chen Chongyi sighed slightly, “Originally, I shouldn’t have said so much, but I don’t know what to say, but I can’t help but endure it.”

Linglong nodded in gratification. “Big sister is someone who has been here before, so she naturally has some weight in her words. Little sister will consider it.”

Chen Chongyi was afraid that Linglong Li wouldn’t be able to catch her, so she hurriedly said, “Sometimes, we have to do that clever fox. It’s not something that can be done overnight to overcome difficulties here. Sister is prepared for a protracted battle, so Sister is relieved.”

‘”Sister, just rest assured. Sister knows all about these things by analogy. I will definitely cite a few examples. However, Sister still feels that if someone doesn’t offend me, I won’t offend them. What you have said is very reasonable. However, Sister, I still don’t know what to do for the time being.” After Linglong finished her ambiguous words, she looked at Chen Chongyi. Obviously, she was asking Chen Chongyi for advice on how to behave. Chen Chongyi smiled and said, “In short, there must be two masks. There must be a heart of harm and a heart of prevention.”

Thinking that every time Chen Chongyi came over, Bao Luo would have to try using silver needles before she could eat, Linglong nodded her head.

“Don’t worry, this sister. Linglong will naturally remember.” Linglong nodded. “According to sister, you must be ruthless. Maybe sister can’t do this for the time being. Why are you in such a hurry to fry each other with your own roots?”

Chen Chongyi tightly held onto Linglong’s hand. Those hands didn’t have any temperature, just like a pair of scissors. It even made Linglong feel a slight pain. “You treat others like mountains and rivers meeting a close friend. How do you know who you are in other people’s eyes?”

Linglong looked at Chen Chongyi with a sly gaze. “Big sister, you mean that even the Empress has the Empress’ purpose? Is that why you helped me?”

“Sister didn’t say that!” Chen Chongyi hurriedly lowered her head. Linglong’s mind was indeed exquisite. Chen Chongyi could smell the meaning behind this sentence. “If I let you sit in a high position, on the one hand, I can kidnap other concubines. On the other hand, my sister’s family is exactly the same as my sister’s. I don’t think it’s good for such a person to be a pet concubine or a pet concubine with a lot of money.”

After pondering for a moment, Linglong said, “Naturally, it would be best for someone with talent and virtue to sit here.”

At this point, Chen Chongyi smiled and intended to end the topic. “Now that my sister understands, I’m relieved.”

Linglong nodded her head. According to Chen Chongyi, she still needed to attack from afar at a certain time.

Chen Chongyi looked at the sky and said, “I also want to go back. I wish my sister a happy New Year in advance.”

Linglong gave Bao Luo a portion of the food she ate and waved her hand to send the two away after earnestly saying “Happy New Year”.

The two figures slowly disappeared in front of her. Only then did Linglong sit on the chair and slowly think. After a long time, she felt a layer of chestnuts on her body. This harem was truly incredibly volatile. A place where one couldn’t see the smoke of gunpowder was often an Asura Ground.

Her fingernails slowly embedded into her tender white skin and flesh. Linglong did not feel any pain, but only frowned.
