The First Empress - Chapter 59
Chapter 59 There Is a Clear Lotus in My Heart
It’s easy, but can a dying person still be relied on? He Shufei probably didn’t know. If those things were really done by He Shufei, there would naturally be a result of the disorderly dismemberment of the corpses. In this harem, every single one of the ten torture was scary. It was said that some of the concubines were already scared to death before they were executed. There were even some who were directly scared to death.
According to the customs of the previous dynasty, such things could be done for needles, cats, and toilets.
These criminal laws were simply a kind of art, literally impossible to see, only after seeing them face to face would one know how formidable they were.
Linglong was also a little scared. She must not have any relationship with He Shufei. Otherwise, if He Shufei got stuck in the mud this time, it would be bad to pull someone.
As he thought about it, he had already arrived at his own palace. The Yunluan Palace was already very busy. It was already the 25th day of the New Year, and the Spring Festival was in five days. However, it was indescribably lively.
The lively scene lasted until this time. When Qin’er saw Linglong returning to the palace, she hurriedly supported her.
“Master’s expression is not good. What’s going on?”
“It’s fine. Go inside.” As she spoke, she held Qin’er’s hand. Qin’er could not ask questions. She followed Linglong to the inner hall. It was as warm as spring, but Linglong still felt that her body was extremely cold. Her fingers had also turned into ice sculptures.
“Bring over the earthdragon and the furnace, Ben Gong-Leng.” As Linglong spoke, her lips couldn’t help but tremble. The trembling frequency frightened Qin’er, and she quickly brought the Earth Dragon over. Linglong stepped on it with her feet.
Qin’er put the stove in Linglong’s hand again, which made Linglong feel much warmer.
“What’s wrong with Concubine? Do you want Pei Minghai to come over and take a look?” Qin ‘Er’s face was full of worry. After she finished asking, she saw that her master was still stupid. Only then did she become even more frightened.
At this time, there was actually a small kitchen that came to ask for help. Looking at this, she was also shocked. Qin’er hurriedly arranged for a simple meal. Only then did she ask again, “Master, do you need Pei Minghai to come over to take a look? Perhaps you’ve caught a cold?”
Linglong wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. She felt the warmth of the stove in her hand. She hugged it tightly and said, “It’s fine.” There was an impeccable smile at the corner of her mouth. “It was just that she had encountered something unpleasant. Now that she had thought about it clearly, there was nothing else.”
Only then did Qin’er smile, “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. Master is tired, so you should rest early after eating.”
After passing on the food, the room was lively. Linglong held the silver book and did not eat much. She was also disappointed and did not have an appetite.
Qin’er couldn’t ask any more questions. She could only serve Linglong to rest. However, winter thunder rolled around. At this time, it began to thunder. Outside the window, it began to rain and snow. Linglong was scared awake. In the darkness, the shadows of trees were dancing. In the wind, she was like a monster with teeth and claws. Linglong hurriedly hugged her knees and sat in a corner.
After a while, he fell asleep again. He was unable to sleep peacefully for so many times …
It was as if a woman who had been tortured to death by the criminal law was always asking for her life. Regarding what she was going to do in a few days, Linglong was becoming more and more hesitant. Should she …
Wearily closing his eyes, Dong Fengwan turned into the bend room and gave Xiaoyuan Hundred Flowers Fragrance. However, in Linglong’s dream, there was even more fear. A person’s cold hands slowly stretched out, slowly …
“Ah–”
Linglong quickly widened her eyes.
The candles had already been lit in the room. It was not dark. It was actually Huiqi who was sitting at the head of the bed. He was so scared that he quickly knelt on the bed. “Your Majesty has arrived. Your concubines are too far away to welcome you. Damn it!”
Huiqi stretched out his hand and hugged Linglong. He looked at Linglong affectionately, “What the hell? It’s just that I didn’t send a message. It’s like you’re having a nightmare. I don’t know why you’re so scared.” As Huiqi spoke, he wiped Linglong’s forehead with his handkerchief. This bright yellow handkerchief smelled a faint fragrance. Linglong couldn’t help but feel a lot more at ease.
Huiqi smiled faintly. “Did you have a nightmare?”
“This concubine dreamed that she was in the water and no one could help her, but she was scared.” As he spoke, he leaned into the Emperor’s embrace. He felt that this embrace was so warm and tranquil, as if he wanted to stay in this embrace forever. However, this embrace was so distant and unpredictable that it would never be his embrace alone.
Huiqi gently patted Linglong’s shoulder. “Dream of falling into the water. I think Duke Zhou interpreted your dreams as saying that you have something on your mind recently and are alone. But has that matter come to light?”
‘”If I do find out, will the Emperor stand beside me?” Linglong said vaguely.
Huiqi said coldly, “The Son of Heaven has broken the law and committed the same crime as the commoners. The concubines are all of good quality, but at that time, it will be up to you and the Empress to decide. Understood?” Only then did Linglong settle down a lot. She nodded and held the Emperor’s hand. “The Emperor is coming now. Is it cold outside?”
As he helped take off the Emperor’s clothes, Huiqi got into Linglong’s bed and said coldly, “This harem is just like the previous dynasty. I remember saying something like this that matches you the best.”
“What?” With Ji Zhuhua’s instructions, Linglong had naturally learned the art of charm. However, if she did it just right, no one would notice that she was a little pretentious.
“Everyone in the harem has a bitter and sweet expression. Only you, Qing Shui comes out of Fu Rong and naturally goes to carve it. It’s like a green lotus in a pond, beautiful and untainted by mud.” Huiqi couldn’t help but laugh as he spoke, “What do you think?”
“Your Majesty is used to teasing me. I’m just a useless concubine, so I don’t have much thought. Speaking of the Green Lotus, it would ruin its nobility.” Linglong said humbly and was interrupted by Huiqi. “You don’t know, harem girl. There are some people who are ruthless and ruthless. The most poisonous woman’s words are not bad.” Back then, when I was in the hidden residence, there was actually a concubine who used red flowers to kill one of my side Fujin. I can’t even understand this matter now. As the Ninth Five-Year-Old Sovereign, I am not someone’s husband alone! “Why does a woman seem to want to take me for herself? It’s not naive.”
Linglong complained to herself. Who didn’t want to sleep with the person she liked every day? Wouldn’t it be good if she waited from the dark to the daytime?
Linglong didn’t dare to say anything, so she could only tame Hui Qi and lean on his shoulder like a kitten.
Hui Qi continued, “You are the only one who is like a green lotus. The green lotus is upright and unyielding. The fragrance is far and clear, and the pavilion is pure. How wonderful!”
“Your Majesty praises me absurdly. This concubine’s heart is nothing more than a fool, right?” Linglong hurriedly smiled.
Huiqi laughed loudly, “You are whatever I say you are. Could it be that you have just resisted the decree?”
Linglong did not dare, so she could only nod her head, “Then this concubine must be Green Lotus, beautiful Green Lotus.” Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and said, “The woman I like has always been lofty and clean. You can do it, so I want you to keep it forever. Can you do it?”
Linglong nodded her head repeatedly, “This concubine will naturally do her best.”
“That’s good,” Huiqi flipped over. “I’ll be a lotus with you now.”
The next day, after a night of rolling clouds and rain, Linglong felt that her entire body did not have the slightest bit of strength and was soft.
Just as she got up to freshen up, Qin’er walked over with a smile and placed a piece of paper in front of Linglong. Linglong asked, “What is this?”
Qin’er covered her lips and smiled, “This servant can’t recognize it. I only know that it was written by the Emperor this morning.”
“You know how to lie,” Linglong smiled. “Since you said that you can’t recognize the way you smile, I believe you do. Later on, I’ll send out your little hoof. Take it over and I’ll take a look.” Linglong took the paper and looked at the poem on it. It was indeed written by Huiqi before he left. It was all in tiny letters. However, although the fonts were very small, it could be seen that the Imperial Clan was maneuvering like thousands of horses. She couldn’t help but chant, “Gaudy Golden Pavilion Maiden, her heart is like jade green lotus. Return your kindness to me. You Fantian.”
Huiqi was very good at deceiving people, saying, “Return your favor to Lang Yan with your background. You Fantian will be in the future.” It seemed like she was just daydreaming, but Linglong still smiled sweetly. “Your Majesty is capable of literature and martial arts. Naturally, it is a shocking feat. However, this poem is written too beautifully.” Her fingers trembled slightly as she thought of the paper inside the birch tube. She couldn’t help but feel a little inexplicable as if she had climbed into her heart.
The one who should come is still going to come in the end …
“Keep it. I heard the Emperor rarely writes poetry.” Linglong handed the letter to Qin’er. After she put it away, she turned around and continued to help Linglong sort out the green silk on her head.
At this time, Huang Quan, a capable father-in-law beside the Empress, came over and said, “Little Lord Jieyu, the Empress has ordered this old servant to inform the Empress and ask her to come to the Kunde Palace to talk later.”
Although Linglong was already prepared, she didn’t expect that these things would come faster than she had imagined. She couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
“I see. You can go back first.”
Only then did Huang Quan go. Linglong stood up. Qin’er did not dare to neglect her. She carried He Shang in her arms and walked outside. The 26th day of the New Year was approaching. Lanterns and colorful lights were decorated all over the place. However, Kun De Palace did not seem to be celebrating in the slightest, and even the Vermillion Lacquer Couplets seemed to have lost much of their color.
Linglong was waiting at the second door. Without a communication in Kun De Palace, concubines could not enter the room. Linglong knew that no matter how anxious the Empress was to see her, she did not dare to go overboard.
This place was like the White Tiger Festival Hall. It needed to pay attention to its words and actions at all times. Otherwise, there would definitely be unimaginable dangers.
When Ji Zhuhua saw Linglong coming, he arrived a moment earlier than he had imagined. He hurriedly greeted her and said, “Sister Jieyu came early.”
Linglong hurriedly nodded her head, “It’s better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry. This concubine pays her respects.”
Ji Zhu Hua slightly supported Ling Long and then said, “Have you considered the matter of the day before yesterday?”
Linglong nodded, not saying anything.
The Empress looked at Linglong’s expression and knew that the matter had already been compromised. She didn’t ask much. She had only asked Linglong to come here today to understand these things. Now that her goal had probably been achieved, she wasn’t afraid of tomorrow’s matter.
Ji Zhuhua’s brows twitched as she looked at Linglong and said, “Tomorrow, Bu Jieyu, what do you think?” Although it was an inquiry, there was no need for Linglong to say anything definite. Linglong raised her bright eyes and looked at Ji Zhuhua, nodding her head.
Ji Zhu Hua’s lips curled into a smile. “Since this is the case, I can be at ease. This matter has been dragging on for so long. It’s time to resolve it.”
“Yes!” The golden step on Linglong’s head trembled.
Empress Ji Zhu Hua stroked the bright moon beside her ear, and the bead ring lightly and crisply sounded, “You know these things, and I know them too. You’re still not enough. Take your time and experience them.” It sounded a little disappointed. Linglong could understand Ji Zhuhua and nodded repeatedly. “This concubine knows. Thank you, Your Highness.”
