The First Empress - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Bump Into Ghosts
For a moment, the needle tip faced Mai Mang.

Linglong sneered in her heart. Originally, she was still alone. She didn’t expect that there would be two high-ranking people helping her at this time. Although she was sorry for Concubine De just now, Concubine De was still reasonable. In other words, Concubine De did not forget the incident of “accidentally pouring tea” just now and started to fight back so quickly. This made Linglong feel happy and ridiculous.

“This concubine naturally agrees with the Empress.” Linglong nodded her head neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Lan Zhaoyuan had nothing else to say. Seeing that the situation was better than others, she could only nod her head. “The Empress and Concubine De are right. There are reasons for that, but this concubine feels …”

“I don’t need you to disturb my Holy Judge. All of you, stand up.” Only then did Linglong and De Fei stand up, but Lan Sou Yu still refused to let go, “Your Majesty …”

“Do you dare not listen to me?” Hui Qi raised his eyebrows angrily, and Lan Sou Yu hurriedly shook her head, not daring to speak.

Lan Sou Yu also stood up.

A few people walked outside. The maidservant hurriedly supported Chen Chongyi in the direction of the Cloud Phoenix Palace. Linglong stood in the wind and said to Concubine De, “Your Highness is righteous. Your concubine thanked Your Highness. However, today’s matter is not for your concubine to make Bao Luo into an uproar …”

Imperial Concubine De did not show any expression, “This palace is not helping you completely.”

Linglong stuck out her tongue.

At this time, Lan Sou Yu walked over. Ling Long looked at Lan Sou Yu and said, “This matter is of great importance. This palace will investigate this matter clearly. However, this palace does not know why you are so aggressive. If this palace finds anything, I will definitely not be soft-hearted.”

Lan Sou Yu said coldly, “I’m sitting upright. I just don’t know if Empress Chen Chong Yi ran into any evil spirits or ghosts. She’s actually scared to such an extent. If you have time to worry about me, why don’t you worry about Chen Chong Yi properly?”

Linglong sneered and walked to the front.

It was already midnight when she returned to Cloud Phoenix Hall. Linglong walked to the front. The current Treasure Pavilion was heavily guarded. The outer and inner floors were like iron barrels. There was a tall banana tree beneath the corner tower. The banana leaves were huge. Linglong suddenly stopped there.

He frowned slightly. At this time, he happened to see Commander Jiang patrolling the night. He waved his hand repeatedly and Commander Jiang walked over. “This subordinate knows what Your Highness wants to ask. Just now, this subordinate had already asked that it was indeed Empress Chen Chongyi who was found behind this banana tree. Her Highness is a delicate person. Please leave this matter to Your Highness.”

Linglong stood there. From this angle, she could see the scenery above the corner tower. The figures on the platform could be seen, and the lantern beads could be seen in a bustling scene. ‘”What do you think, Commander?” Linglong smiled.

Dropping these words, Linglong returned to Cloud Phoenix Hall.

The maid arranged for Chen Chongyi to sleep on the couch. At this time, Pei Minghai came over. After seeing the pulse, she prescribed two medicines and left. Linglong sighed slightly before going to sleep.

Chen Chongyi began to dream. That dream was so terrifying–

“No, don’t come over, don’t,” Chen Chongyi suddenly shouted, sweating profusely.

Linglong hurriedly asked Qin’er to light a candle and put on her clothes to stand beside Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi’s head was covered in sweat and she looked weak.

Linglong placed the candlestick on the table. Only then did Chen Chongyi see clearly that it was Linglong. This was Linglong’s Cloud Phoenix Hall. “Ghost, ghost.”

What the hell? Although Linglong was afraid, she still tried her best to calm herself down. Qin’er had already handed over the pickled plum soup that had surged in the ice. Chen Chongyi drank the water, and it was only then that she became much quieter.

“Sister is delirious. She died like a lamp. What’s the matter?” Linglong held onto Chen Chongyi’s hand. Chen Chongyi trembled with fear. She looked out of the window as if there was a ghost there. Linglong followed Chen Chongyi’s line of sight. Outside the window was only a tall fig tree. There was nothing else.

“Sister, what are you looking at?” Linglong asked.

The corner of Chen Chongyi’s mouth stiffened, “I’m scared.”

This was the first time Linglong had taken care of such a person. Chen Chongyi was more than twelve years older than him, yet she was actually frightened to such an extent. Linglong felt that it was a little funny. She hugged Chen Chongyi and said earnestly, “What the hell is going on? Sister, don’t talk nonsense.” Chen Chongyi stabilized a little, but a gust of wind suddenly blew through the window. The leaves rustled and Chen Chongyi shouted, “There’s a ghost.”

Linglong was also slightly afraid and asked, “What did big sister see? Tell me, could it be that you still don’t trust little sister?”

“I…” Chen Chongyi hesitated. Could she really tell Linglong what she saw just now? This was an extraordinary moment. He couldn’t get involved in anything. Chen Chongyi thought of this and swept her drooping hair over her forehead to examine Linglong again.

But for a long time, she still told herself that she couldn’t tell what she saw and waved her hand.

Linglong naturally knew that Chen Chongyi had something to hide, so she didn’t ask anymore. “I’ve already asked the Emperor and the Empress for orders. I have to find out about this matter. Perhaps you don’t want to tell me what you saw right now, but for the sake of sister’s safety, sister must tell you. If you see this, then you will see it.”

Chen Chongyi naturally knew that his evil appearance had already been criticized in the eyes of the Empress and the other concubines.

Chen Chongyi lowered her eyebrows and nodded.

Linglong held Chen Chongyi’s hand and secretly exerted force. “Sister, if you don’t want to say anything now, you have to say it at a certain time. If I hadn’t tried my best to dissuade you, Sister wouldn’t be here at this time.”

Chen Chongyi naturally knew that Linglong’s words were true. She looked around and saw that there was no Treasure Luo around. She couldn’t help but be shocked, “Where’s Treasure Luo, my Treasure Luo?”

“You said you saw a ghost just now. I told you to come here. Baoluo has someone in your palace to take care of him.” As Linglong spoke, she looked at Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi stroked the messy hair on her forehead and nodded. She was relieved. Linglong knew that Chen Chongyi didn’t want to say anything for the time being, so she could only leave the candlestick beside Chen Chongyi and go to another cloud bed to rest.

Chen Chongyi blew out the candle in order not to disturb Linglong’s rest.

However, the memories just now were so haunting that the scenes that were vivid in his eyes instantly became vivid, and they even entered Chen Chongyi’s dream.

Chen Chongyi and Bao Luo walked out of Zhulian Hall. She let Xian Baoluo go back. Originally, she wanted to wait for Linglong to come over to say a few words of thanks, but before she could, she stood on the path that she had to take. Behind this road was the Treasure Hidden Building. Normally, no one else was allowed to get close to it. However, she didn’t know if it was her luck or bad luck that caused her to bump into a shocking secret.

Chen Chongyi waited there. Suddenly, he heard the two of them talking behind him. A low and hoarse eunuch said, “Now please. Who knows, the Emperor and Empress are both in Zhulian Hall.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Eunuch.”

Chen Chongyi recognized the voice of a woman. She even recognized who that woman was. She did not want to touch these things and instinctively wanted to leave. However, the location here was really difficult to act. If she left, the two of them might discover her. At that time, she would be suspected of eavesdropping.

Chen Chongyi’s mind turned lightning fast. After pondering for a moment, he stood behind the banana tree. He happened to see an inner manager leading the way, followed by a woman dressed in purple. Chen Chongyi was secretly shocked. What exactly were the two of them going to do?

She even saw the two of them giving and receiving each other privately, The eunuch may have accepted the woman’s money, and then the two of them came to the corner with a smile. The breeze blew over every word they talked about. Chen Chongyi only heard about the “gold medal” and “what” the guards had been sent away by our family. It was good that the Empress had rushed in here. There was no need to be afraid of “thank you, father-in-law.” In the future, she would definitely reward them.

Chen Chongyi didn’t dare to move. Although this banana tree was huge, it wasn’t enough to cover her. Thus, she leaned over and looked ahead. As expected, it was the person she had imagined. However, she wasn’t sure about the distance.

The two of them arrived at the corner of the tower one after the other. From here, they could still vaguely hear their fragmentary voices and even more fragmentary words. The words “gold medals” and the like resembled the voices of ghosts, and they could faintly be heard.

Chen Chongyi wanted to go out, He was afraid that the two of them would see him. If he kills and silences his own Baoluo, no one will take care of him, There was no weapon to defend himself and no maidservant beside him. There was also the Taiye Lake in front of him. It was said that the lake water in the Taiye Lake was connected to the outside of the palace. All he needed to do was push himself down from here. He definitely did not know that he was dead. The more Chen Chongyi thought about it, the more afraid she became. However, Chen Chongyi did not know that the two of them had already reached a deal and went downstairs on the other side of the corner.

She was still waiting on this side, waiting for the two of them to pass by her before she could return quietly.

Unfortunately, someone had already shouted “Stolen” at this time.

Chen Chongyi hurriedly turned around and prepared to flee the place of trouble earlier. At this time, she finally understood what the two of them were doing. Perhaps the purpose of private gifts was to open a convenient door so that they could steal some important treasures from it. It was said that all the treasures in the building were in the Treasure Hall. Naturally, it would be great to steal them this time.

Before he could dodge, a Royal servant behind him had already grabbed Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi was speechless, so she could only tear her hair and lie about seeing a ghost in her haste.

She still felt a lingering fear in her heart when she remembered this. If she hadn’t been in a hurry and had been taken to the emperor and empress, her opponent would have retorted. Her status and rank were all above hers. Naturally, she would have been slightly untrustworthy if she had spoken lightly. At that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable …

Chen Chongyi woke up from her dream again. She gritted her teeth tightly and could not let this secret spread so quickly. She had to guard against it when she was not able to take down this person. Even in front of Linglong, Chen Chongyi intended to keep her mouth shut.
