The First Empress - Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Compassion-2
“What should I tell your father?” Linglong’s curved eyebrows trembled.

“Tell father to stay away from the court. It’s best to go to the border. This place is in danger.” Imperial Concubine He Shu suddenly spoke fluently. All of the evil shapes and forms that she had just displayed seemed to have disappeared. It even made Linglong feel that Imperial Concubine He Shu was a thousand-faced Rakshasa, and a mask would appear later.

The trembling he felt when he first arrived turned into a kind of respectful front and back, and then turned from a respectful front and back into the current wagging of his tail and begging for mercy. Just which one of them was the real He Shufei? Even Imperial Concubine He Shu could clearly see that the situation had fallen into this kind of ripple. It could be seen how turbulent the sea was right now.

“Just one sentence?” Linglong looked sideways.

“There will be a series of calamities. I’m afraid it won’t be long before the Imperial Capital changes and wants to leave. Just take out the jade pendant and tell my father. He will believe you.” Concubine Heshu said as he clenched his trembling fists.

Linglong nodded, “Why should I help you?”

“You … are you unwilling?” Concubine Heshu’s excitement just now was gone. Forget it, as long as she could save her father, even if she had to give up her life, there was nothing more important than this.

The worst was about to happen, and she had nothing to fear.

He Shufei’s lips curled into a graceful smile that resembled Youtan’s. “I won’t let you help me in vain. Just rest assured. Have you ever heard of the Chaozhong Heavy Weapons Immortal Gold Medal?” She smiled faintly.

Linglong’s heart skipped a beat. She had heard her father say that this dynasty had forged a gold medal for avoiding death since Emperor Taizu was young. The gold medal was inscribed with the words “Emperor’s grace is vast and immortal longevity is eternal.” However, after Emperor Taizu gave the gold medal to the several elders in the dynasty, it no longer existed in the future. Who would have thought that it would be brought up at this time?

“As long as you can help my father escape successfully, my father will give you the gold medal. Do you think that’s fair?” Concubine Heshu looked at Linglong with dissatisfaction and said, “You will always be useful in the end, won’t you? Although your father is just an imperial edict from the Academy, you know that sometimes small things can involve any person’s head falling to the ground, so you will help me.”

Linglong nodded, “I’m not helping you because I have to make this deal, but because I suddenly feel sad that things hurt like rabbits and foxes.”

He Shufei disagreed, “Go, I’ll wait for your good news.”

“The next time I come in, it won’t be so easy. I don’t dare to risk sending a letter to you. That would be too dangerous.” Linglong thought of the jailer who had delivered the letter just now, and now she was a little worried.

Imperial Concubine He Shu’s face was filled with sadness. “As long as I can save my father, none of this matters anymore. I’m sure someone will tell me about such a big matter,” said Imperial Concubine He Shu.

“Alright, I’m leaving.” Linglong pulled back her steps and said, “If you tell others about these things, I will have a way to make the Shangshu Manor instantly disappear. Do you believe me?”

Imperial concubine He Shu nodded her head, “I completely believe in Your Highness. Please save my father. My father is too pitiful.”

“Alright.”

Linglong and Qin’er walked out.

He Shufei was like a sandalwood, lying on the ground, her fingers still twitching. Just now, she had used up all her energy.

Linglong’s money was also wasted. Just as she left, a wolf-like jailer began to punish Concubine Heshu. “It’s time for a bitter bamboo stick, Imperial Concubine Shu.”

He Shufei’s face turned pale, “No, no!”

However, the jailer had already walked over with a sinister smile. One of them controlled He Shufei’s escape, and the other nailed the bamboo sticks to He Shufei’s fingernails. He Shufei started to cry and howl.

Qin’er suddenly paused, “Why do I feel like someone is crying?”

Linglong smiled. “Naturally, someone is crying here. Could it be that someone is still roaring towards the sky?”

Qin’er also felt that the boss was boring, so she smiled embarrassedly and walked out.

Just as the two of them walked out, an oleander patch outside suddenly trembled. It was obvious that someone was following them, but it was hard to say if this person had yet to arrive inside. Qin’er also frowned.

“Is it Eunuch Huang?”

Qin’er nodded, “Probably.”

The two of them were speechless. When they arrived at the Cloud Phoenix Hall, Linglong took out the letter written by He Shufei and the jade pendant and put them in a box. Then, she locked them in the room. Because she was afraid that she would forget them, she put them under her best friend’s cloud bed.

“Keep the key. Don’t lose it.” After Linglong finished everything, she gave the key to Qin’er.

Qin’er didn’t dare to neglect her. She put on the key and hung it on her neck. She couldn’t help but feel nervous, “Does Your Highness not intend to help Concubine Heshu?”

He Shufei’s path is not our path in the future. Since she said that she would give me a gold medal for avoiding death, then I naturally need it … for my father’s sake.

“Then what does Your Highness mean?” Qin’er looked at the box.

Linglong smiled and said, “Now is not the time to leave. Have you forgotten the two words Concubine De sent over?”

“Wait! Stable?” Qin’er smiled and Linglong nodded. “It’s good to remember. Today’s matter concerns our lives. Don’t let anyone know, remember?”

“Qin’er understands.”

Seeing that it was still early, Linglong said, “Let’s go and see Li Chongyuan.”

Outside the window, the grass was shallow and spring was like bentgrass.

When the two of them arrived at Li Chongyuan’s palace, Li Chongyuan hurriedly welcomed them.

“Sister hasn’t been here for a long time. Sister really misses you.” Li Chongyuan held Linglong’s hand. The hall was quiet. Only two swallows were flying on the golden beam with mud in their hands. The dust from their wings fell everywhere, but no one came to clean it.

“I also want to come over, but I can’t leave.” Linglong looked inside the room. “Where have all the maids gone? How filthy are they?”

“Maid?” Li Chongyuan sneered, “Today is different from the past. No one will curry favor with me anymore. Naturally, the Emperor will not come here. This slave is used to humiliating people, so he should leave now to avoid getting upset.”

Linglong was stunned. “They actually didn’t even care about you? You should know that even if you weren’t, you would still be giving birth. Who knows when you won’t get pregnant again? These servants!”

“Stop talking about them. What are you doing here today?” Li Chongyuan was getting more and more cautious lately.

Linglong said coldly, “Originally, I was here to take a walk, but now I have something to do.”

Li Chongyuan had a smile on her face, “What is big sister doing?”

Linglong just nodded and said something in Qin’er’s ear. Qin’er trotted away and ran back after a while. She said next to the two of them, “Alright.”

Linglong held onto Li Chongyuan’s hand and forced herself to sit in the upper seat. Li Chongyuan did not know what Linglong was going to do, but her expression did not look good.

“Find all the servants, eunuchs, servants, and ladies here and kneel down with me!” Linglong rarely got angry. Now that her eyes bulged, Li Chongyuan felt a little scared. She repeatedly waved her hand and said, “I can’t use it!”

Linglong ignored, “What are you still doing? Find them all.”

Linglong shouted to the only servant. Royal servant hurriedly left. Soon, everyone came over. Wu Guang knelt on the ground. Linglong secretly counted more than thirty people. She raised her chin slightly and looked at the kneeling person. No one dared to speak, which made him angry and strange. He could only hear the sound of swallows cutting their tails from the golden beam.

“Good, very good!” Linglong coldly raised her voice. Everyone naturally knew that no one dared to raise their heads when Linglong was favored. Linglong’s fingers that held the corner of the table trembled slightly. “This palace has already asked for the Empress’ Phoenix Oracle. All the servants here will be beaten to death!”

Hearing everyone’s cries, the room immediately became a mess. In fact, Linglong had only asked for a sentence to deal with the lazy palace people. It was still impossible to say “Luan Gun beating him to death”.

Linglong was unmoved. Facing the cries of “Your Highness spare me, Your Highness spare me”, she seemed to turn a deaf ear to them.

After a while, I lazily raised my hand and pointed at the filth in the room. “This palace thought that Sister Chongyuan’s servant girl here had died, but it’s unexpected. The azure sky and the white sun are all not here. This palace can only give you light orders according to the Empress’ Phoenix Orders. Let this palace think about how to deal with you!” Linglong Zhiyi looked at these servants like she was watching a puppet show.

Li Chongyuan had never seen such a formation before, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Sister, it’s fine. These servants have a good memory.”

Linglong said coldly, “It’s my sister’s face to plead for mercy. Originally, it was your people that you dealt with. However, your people are all disobedient, so I have to do it for you.”

Linglong said as she waved her hand. Qin’er had already taken out a horse whip. ‘”I can’t rub the sand in my eyes,” she said, pointing at the little inspector kneeling in front of her. “You whip the man behind you, and the man behind you continues. I want to hear every sound that comes from the beginning, but it can only be heavy and not light. Otherwise, I’ll start from scratch!”

Royal servant’s hand trembled as he received the whip. Then, a whip landed on the second person’s body. The second person raised the whip. and so on, Linglong was satisfied when she heard the ghosts crying and wolves howling in the room. After seeing that it had already taken two turns, she smiled and said, “Today is only the Little Punishment Commandment. It’s good that you guys stay alert. Sister Chongyuan is just a small proprietor. How can you know that there won’t be a comeback day? If this palace comes tomorrow and sees her like this again, we will follow the Empress’ Phoenix’s instructions.”

After she finished speaking, she walked past the people with Qin’er’s help and didn’t even turn her head. Although Li Chongyuan was grateful to Linglong, she was still a little afraid. An inexplicable feeling floated in her heart …

It wasn’t even time to eat when they returned to the Cloud Phoenix Palace. The Empress was in a hurry to find Li Chongyuan’s palace. Huang Quan went over and said that Linglong had already arrived at the Cloud Phoenix Palace. Only then did he send a message to the Cloud Phoenix Palace.

“Your Highness wants me to go over?” Linglong knew that it wasn’t good, so she tried to think of a way. What happened just now was undoubtedly a dog taking a mouse and meddling in other people’s business. If the Empress wanted to deal with her in this matter, she could only accept it.

Qin’er was also afraid, so she changed Linglong’s sapphire blue robe before she helped her to Kunde Palace.

Upon arriving at Kun De Palace, the Empress did not look at Ling Long, but at the golden brick floor. Ling Long hurriedly bowed. Only then did Ji Zhuhua regain his senses and look at Linglong, “Just now …”

“Just now is the concubine’s fault, was to Chongyuan sister to see her, don’t want to let concubine bumped into that scene. There was no one in the room. Even if she passed on the message, she was too lazy to come. Everywhere was covered in dust. I really couldn’t see it … “As she spoke, she twisted her nose and sobbed. Ji Zhuhua extended his hand and patted Linglong’s shoulder lovingly.” Sister, you really are. I was just about to say that you did a good job! ”

Only then did Linglong put down her handkerchief, “Your Highness, did this concubine really do well?”

“What’s wrong? Those servants should have been well controlled long ago. Li Chongyuan’s temperament is good and she needs help to be cautious!” Ji Zhu Hua’s face also had a cold expression. Only then did the stone in Ling Long’s heart fall to the ground.

Linglong sat down with the Empress and leisurely replied. Ji Zhuhua moved the incense burner and said, “Qian’er, you went to see Shu Fei. Did Shu Fei say anything to slander me or Li Chongyuan?”
