The First Empress - Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Blessing In Disguise
Hui Qi pressed forward step by step, his burning eyes stuck to Linglong’s face, and he asked, “Do you know your sin?”
Linglong did not retreat. At this time, she needed to take advantage of her own intelligence. She had enough information to send a dying person back to the heavens. There was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, the blood droplets sent by the Emperor had been destroyed by Xie Yunxiao. Other than her, no one else knew her whereabouts. Even Qin’er was sometimes covered in a drum, so she didn’t believe that there was a third pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.
Linglong’s eyes were like clear water as she looked at Huiqi and calmly said, “This concubine does not know that she is guilty.”
“Didn’t you know? This is the first major crime after delaying your return to the palace! Disobedience outside the palace is the second major crime! After returning to the palace, if you don’t tell the truth, this is the third major crime. Now that several crimes have been committed, I don’t know how to punish you!” After Huiqi finished speaking, he smiled brightly and said, “Alright, I was happy for a moment, but I was just playing with you.”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand. Linglong hesitantly stretched out her hand. To say that she was guilty in such a big way was merely a “joke”.
Heavenly Heart Ninth Layer, this is not the first time such a cold joke has happened. Linglong’s excitement just now is gone, and her heart is dead silent. If it weren’t for his request, he would definitely not have entered the palace. If he didn’t have a desire in his heart, who would be willing to go to the Dragon Pool Tiger’s den! ?
Tears had already flowed down Linglong’s beautiful face. Linglong did not reach out to wipe away her tears. She wanted to remember today, remember today’s “guilt”. Huiqi was also shocked. He held Linglong’s hand and hurriedly wiped away her tears. Then he said, “This time, you delayed your return to the palace and accomplished a big thing. I want to thank you.”
Huiqi scratched his head and said, “This–Second, your disobedience is the reason why you have achieved great things. I naturally will not punish you! Third, you are a wise, courageous, and calm person. Of course, I will reward you. Why are you crying now that you are well-behaved?” Linglong felt extremely sad. Huiqi was simply “flipping five badges, rolling his hands and killing people”! A single sentence could completely destroy a person, and a single sentence could completely save a person.
Linglong thought of the Bodhisattva in Baohua Temple. One hand was extended to all living beings to show acceptance, while the other hand was dragged to show forgiveness.
This person was a Bodhisattva, and his hands were even more powerful!
Linglong’s tears were wiped away by Hui Qi before she slowly raised her head.
Hui Qi held Linglong in his arms and walked into the bedroom hall. The two of them sat opposite each other. Linglong hadn’t recovered from the shock just now, but Hui Qi didn’t care. He teased, “Are you really scared?”
Linglong nodded her head repeatedly, “Ninth Heavenly Heart Stage, I don’t know if this concubine was really guilty or if the emperor was joking with my life, so I was stunned. Is the emperor happy now?”
Huiqi waved his hand, “No! No! I wanted to know that you would be scared to such an extent, so I decided not to play anymore. How could I have known that you would be so cowardly?” Cowardice? This was a person’s life, how could he not be cowardly?
Linglong was also afraid. After the horror just now, he summed up a truth and fact. The best thing now was that Huiqi did not know that he had met Xie Yunxiao and Mu Qianzhi outside. Naturally, he did not know that he had returned home and went to Minister Lan’s house. Therefore, the script for Capturing and Releasing Cao was also created by him. He did not know either.
Thinking of this, Linglong’s heart calmed down a little.
There was even a point where he began to miss Xie Yunxiao and be grateful to this person who had descended from the sky. If Xie Yunxiao hadn’t killed the blood droplet, he would have really committed several crimes if he had returned now. Not only did he need five horses to rip apart the corpse, he was afraid that even the people in his family would have died without a burial ground.
Thinking of this, Linglong felt afraid.
“Your Majesty, don’t make such a joke in the future.” Linglong pleaded.
Hui Qi waved his hand and said, “Jun Wu jokes, I will definitely not open it after I say I can’t open it. Alright, tell me, how do you handle things?”
Linglong hugged Huiqi and said, “How could this concubine do anything? It’s just that she accidentally broke into the Seventh Prince’s Mansion and accidentally heard something when she saw the time.”
‘”Good thing you’re not careful, you’re actually even more powerful than my Dragon Taboo Commandant. Even the Dragon Taboo Commandant praises you for your wisdom and courage. I have never seen you being so brave as to not let your eyebrows go. Now, speak properly and don’t touch on it with a single stroke!” At this point, Linglong held onto the green silk above Linglong’s head. Linglong listened to Hui Qi’s heartbeat and knew that Hui Qi would not blame her for being rash. She then said, “The Dragon Taboo Commandant is also relaxed. If it weren’t for the help of the Dragon Taboo Commandant, my concubine would have been alone.”
Linglong started with the incense stick, then prepared to come back, and was stopped from returning by the Dragon Forbidden Commandant. She had no choice but to disguise herself as a palace maid and go to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion to inquire about the situation.
Even though Huiqi was a man and was secretly shocked when he heard this, Linglong directly described the most dangerous situations as the least dangerous, but Huiqi was still secretly shocked and asked, “Aren’t you afraid at that time?”
Linglong smiled bitterly. “I have no time to be afraid. I just want to flee. Otherwise, if something like this happens, I won’t be able to come back and chat with the Emperor.”
Huiqi laughed loudly, “You are also a formidable character. I’m afraid only Liang Hongyu and Mu Guiying can compare with you in the past and present.”
Linglong continued to ask, “Did Minister Lan catch him?” Linglong was also more concerned about this issue. After all, she had already leaked the news. If Minister Lan was full of nonsense, not only Seventh Prince, but also herself would be implicated. It was impossible to say that she was not afraid.
‘”I’m still searching, and now I see something–” Huiqi did not want to talk about it, but smiled. “What else do you have? Tell me one by one.”
Linglong frowned and thought for a while. She called for Sheng to come in and take the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Linglong said, “This concubine has discovered something. Now, it can only be said that it is indescribable. This concubine is all written on this piece of paper. The Emperor can refer to it for a bit.” As he spoke, he went to the Seventh Prince’s Mansion and saw how the Seven King’s Emblem Ye was playing alone.
Huiqi said, “Write it out. These ministers all look alike. Who knows if their bellies are grassy or grassy? Now that you’ve discovered me, you naturally want to thank you properly.”
Linglong took the paper and soaked it in ink. According to her memories, she wrote down two pieces of paper. One was from Huiqi and the other was from Huiye. However, she did not write all of them out. On one piece of paper, there were more than ten names of people. These names were amazing.
When Hui Qi saw that Ling Long had finished writing, he asked, “Do you remember correctly?”
Linglong nodded. “I remember correctly. I have never forgotten this since I was a child. All the schools of thought have read it by heart, let alone some names. I don’t dare to write it down so easily. I still need you to take a good look at it now, Your Majesty.” Huiqi looked at the paper and was shocked. “There are actually so many double-dealers there. These two-faced and three-blade ambitious men! I will think of a way to get rid of these people soon!”
Linglong nodded. There was a gentle praise in Huiqi’s eyes. “You are truly my assistant minister. I am very happy …”
Linglong nodded and Huiqi hugged Linglong to sleep.
After about a week, the ministers above the black spots were either killed or exiled to the Ningu Pagoda. It was simply unbearable, and only Linglong knew about the entrance to the black spots. Even the Empress did not know when Huiqi’s divine eyes had reached such a state of lightning, and he had actually purged the Imperial Platform so bold all of a sudden.
On this day, Linglong met the leader of the Dragon Taboo Commandant again, and the two of them couldn’t help but nod in greeting.
“Greetings, Your Highness.” The Dragon Taboo Lieutenant greeted from afar.
Linglong smiled slowly and said, “Your Excellency’s golden and jade words have caused the Emperor to praise me endlessly. Thank you, Your Excellency.” Linglong deliberately said it tactfully. The so-called “endless praise” was so terrifying. First, she opened her eyes wide and questioned, then she praised. The gap between them was really too big.
Imperial Guard Long naturally didn’t know about these things, “Yes, yes!” The two of them smiled knowingly. Linglong felt that it was strange and asked, “Sir, this is …”
The Dragon Taboo Lieutenant looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said, “Your Highness doesn’t know anything. The Seven Kings have recruited new accomplices and brought a cold weapon and a fire-spear into the Labor City Camp.” When she said this, she lowered her voice and covered her lips with a smile. “This palace is a woman from the Deep Palace. I’m not very clear about these things, but thank you, Your Excellency, for finally treating this palace as one of our own.” Because Linglong did not hear the inside story clearly, the Dragon Taboo Lieutenant said after this sentence, “Perhaps Your Highness still does not know. The general who guarded Loulan back then has also plotted.”
“Could it be that they have formed an alliance with Seventh Prince?” Linglong looked sideways.
“What kind of smart person does Your Highness have to say with her subordinates?” Imperial Guard Long pointed at Qian He Palace and said, “This subordinate still needs to go inside to reply. Please help yourself, Your Highness.”
“Master, do as you please” Linglong waved her hand, as if she wanted to chase away all the strange thoughts in her mind. However, these strange thoughts were like a thread that slowly strangled Linglong’s head, like a magic spell, causing her brain to ache.
Linglong slowly climbed onto the stone bridge. Suddenly, Qin’er rushed over and said, “I finally found Master Consort. Master Consort, the Empress wants you to go to Kun De Palace.”
To Kunde Palace?
Why?
Linglong’s heart was in a state of turmoil, but after thinking for a while, she still had no idea what to do. “Did the Empress say why she wanted me to come to Kunde Palace? Is it urgent?” Qin’er thought for a while and said, “It’s just that Pei Lan came to pass on the message. Servant is not very clear about it.”
Linglong picked up a red pomegranate flower and entered Kunde Palace.
When Ji Zhuhua saw Linglong arrive at Kun De Palace, he smiled happily, “Jie Yu, you’re here. This palace is waiting for you.”
