The First Empress - Chapter 93
Chapter 93 Feng Yun
Linglong suddenly heard the sound of a cacophony behind her. With a clever smile, Lan Shuyu arrived in front of her.
“Concubine Jieyu, long time no see. Does Your Highness have the leisure to watch the scenery here?” Linglong turned around and saw Lan Sou Yu standing in the wind. Lan Sou Yu’s purple clothes flew in the wind like a purple cloud.
Linglong held the paper in her hand and smiled quietly, “It’s just to see the scenery. It doesn’t seem like some people are more miserable than anything without the scenery.”
Lan Shuyu felt her chest become depressed and stamped her feet as she walked away.
Linglong hurriedly went to Qianhe Palace and handed over the words she saw and De Fei wrote to Huiqi. Huiqi was overjoyed and smiled. “Indeed, she is the best Crown Prince of this dynasty. She is as honorable as your father.”
“Master, preaching to clear up doubts, this concubine also thinks that Lord Taifu will definitely not associate with the seven kings with his clean sleeves.” Linglong paused for a moment, “But I didn’t expect Imperial Concubine De to have already written this word and wait there.”
Hui Qi’s deep, ocean-like eyes flashed, and his eyes shone brightly. “Concubine De has been nurtured by Bodhisattva. Naturally, she knows a lot about Heavenly Secrets. Those who approach the Heavenly Will have no desire or desire. Just like Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor Mu is a good gentleman. I will reward him heavily.”
Hearing this, Linglong pursed her lips and smiled, “Your Majesty’s words are wrong. Since Your Majesty already knows that the Grand Master has no desire and no desire, why bother to give him golden pearls and precious jades? Ah Dongwu will not accept it, right?” Huiqi sighed resentfully and said, “You’re right. I want him to know that I appreciate him very much.”
Linglong and Huiqi sat chatting. Linglong felt that Concubine De was very knowledgeable. She didn’t know if she was talented or expected. She unconsciously felt a little envious. Or, as the Emperor had said, the closer one was to the Bodhisattva, the greater the probability of approaching the Heavenly Secrets?
However, whether it was Concubine De, Huiqi, or Linglong, they didn’t expect anything.
At this moment, this matter was brought up while he was enjoying himself.
Seventh Prince’s Mansion, Calyx Pavilion.
Within the Calyx Pavilion, the Flying Pavilion was as straight as hair, and it had bird windows all day long.
“The old general is well-built and worthy of being called the Tiger General. Unfortunately, the old general has made great contributions to the Dao Li Faction. The Emperor of the Da Li Faction did not give the old general half of his strength. What a pity! What a pity!” Hui Ye lifted a glass of wine and personally delivered it to General Chen Kaixuan. Old General Chen laughed, “I dare not speak rashly, but I am worthy of the credit for Iron Blood.” After he finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his hand, his face brimming with excitement. When he thought of the horses’ corpses on the battlefield and his own life, Old General Chen couldn’t help but feel a little conceited.
“Why don’t you work with me? When the time comes, you and I can rest easy. What do you want this king to give you? What do you think?” Old General Chen’s words were very warm in his heart. Huiqi had always been arrogant and domineering. He had talked to Old General Chen like this several times, so Old General Chen immediately went back on his word.
“This general treats other matters as if they had passed by. There is no need for me to have a false reputation. However, this is an era of false reputation! Therefore, this general still wants to rise to prominence.” Although Old General Chen had already passed the 50-year-old threshold, Hui Ye still took a deep breath when the lion spoke up.
However, these promises would not be given to Old General Chen after a long time. He was only a trusted aide, so he agreed first. At that time, the enemy would destroy his advisor and perish. The first one to be killed would definitely be Old General Chen.
A green light flashed in Hui Ye’s eyes, like the color of an old wolf.
Fortunately, Old General Chen did not notice, and the two of them said two more words that were neither salty nor insipid.
Old General Chen suddenly said, “Actually, you have another way to justify yourself, don’t you?”
“There is a way? Hui Ye did not believe that there was a second way to go. Recruitment was the proper shortcut. As for assassinations, he had already tried it. In Zi Hua City, there were iron walls, and Hui Qi was even more self-respecting. Not only did he have Yu Lin Lang and the Royal Guards, but they were also low-ranking and ghostly Dragon Taboo Lieutenants.
Most importantly, there was an assassination organization, Blood Droplets.
Huiqi had already suffered a loss, so he had given up on assassination.
Old General Chen sneered, “Could it be that the Seven Kings are joking? How could the Seven Kings not know about such a thing?”
Hui Ye really doesn’t know, “The old general is knowledgeable. Please don’t hesitate to give me some advice so that this king can see the light of day.”
Old General Chen sneered, “Does His Highness the Seventh Prince know the story of the gold medal for avoiding death?”
There was a ripple in Hui Ye’s eyes, but it was still calm. “What is a gold medal for avoiding death?”
“Ah!” Old General Chen drank a mouthful of wine and sneered, “His Highness the Seventh King is indeed ignorant. When the previous emperor was alive, he used gold to forge five gold medals …” Old General Chen said the creation of the gold medals and the words engraved on the gold medals. Of course, he also said what the five gold medals could do together.
Hearing this, Hui Ye couldn’t help but feel his heart throb. He looked at Old General Chen and said, “Old General, are you kidding me? Why does this king never know about the gold medal for avoiding death, let alone the fact that the gold medal for avoiding death can be combined into one?”
Old General Chen continued to sneer. The muscles on his face were as stiff as stones. “This was the previous dynasty. Everyone above the third rank knew about it. However, over time, everyone had forgotten about it.”
“Then,” Hui Ye was almost overjoyed. “Where are the five gold medals?”
“Heaven’s End, Earth’s Horn, this is something I don’t know.” After saying that, Old General Chen stood up and said, “But as long as you have a heart, you will find it, won’t you? It depends on whether your highness has a heart.”
Seventh Prince Hui Ye laughed loudly, “This king will naturally look for a gold medal for avoiding death. There is actually such a thing. Separation can avoid death, and combination can stop you, haha!” The green light in Hui Ye’s eyes was like a sword that had been tempered with venom, sparkling.
After Old General Chen left, Hui Ye was still so happy that he laughed heartily.
On this side, Linglong asked, “What exactly is missing from the Treasure Hidden Building? It seems that the Emperor is not willing to reveal it, but he is not willing to let go of it.” Linglong naturally knew that she had crossed the line. However, if she asked casually, it was fine if Huiqi wanted to say it or not. She originally did not intend to hear the answer.
However, beyond Linglong’s expectations, Hui Qi’s gaze was deep as he looked at the point in front of him, as if he didn’t have a focal length. “He lost a gold medal for avoiding death!”
Huiqi’s tone was heavy, and Linglong’s heart was beating abruptly. Wasn’t there a gold medal in her hand? Fortunately, he hadn’t said anything to ask the Emperor to allow him to give a portion of the items to Bu Hanlin. Wasn’t that self-defeating? He had become a thief. One had to know that there were many things that had to be checked before they could go outside the palace. Linglong was secretly shocked.
“Avoid death–Gold medal?”
“The first emperor used it to save me from death. I’m just afraid that I will fall into the hands of the rebels. There are some people who will bring disaster to the country and the people. I don’t want such a person to survive.” As Huiqi spoke, his eyebrows slightly trembled, and the corners of his mouth also trembled.
It was fine that other people didn’t know this secret, but Linglong knew everything.
Moreover, it was a person who had let Linglong know at the cost of death, and Linglong did not doubt the importance of the gold medal of avoiding death.
“Could it be that this is the one missing from the Treasure Hidden Building?” Linglong pretended not to know and asked.
“Exactly,” Huiqi nodded. “So I must capture this person. I must!”
Linglong calmed down a lot. She remembered He Shufei who was in the dungeon with her hair disheveled. He Shufei stretched out her hand like a ghost and told her that as long as she could gather five gold medals, she would be fine. She didn’t expect that there would actually be one in the Treasure Pavilion, and she also had one in her hand.
The Emperor did not expect these two …
“So,” Linglong lifted her lips, “the emperor has already thought of a way, or the emperor already has a way to find this one together with the remaining four?”
Huiqi’s deep sea-like eyes flashed, “I will naturally find a way to find it, but the time is not ripe yet.”
Linglong nodded, “When the emperor needs a concubine, this concubine will be the first to help him.”
Hui Qi took over Linglong and said, “I knew you were my Spoken Language Flower. Recently, you should have a good rest. Regardless of any rumors in the future, you should not care about anything else. Do you understand?”
Linglong nodded. Once the Emperor’s words were spoken, even if she wanted to protest, it was impossible. “I understand.”
Huiqi smiled and said, “It’s good that you understand. Therefore, I am thinking of a way to find an opportunity to find all the death-saving gold medals created by the previous emperors and melt them.” Huiqi slapped the table coldly, and almost all the teacups on the table jumped twice.
Seeing that Hui Qi’s anger had been extinguished, Linglong’s plan to come over this time had all been aborted. Linglong was very sad. After saying goodbye, she walked out of Qianhe Palace.
Although she didn’t know what plan Huiqi had, she already knew that part of this plan was unfavorable to her. However, there was no way. It was difficult to seek good fortune and avoid evil. She could only wait now.
At night, Linglong already knew Huiqi’s plan. So Eunuch Lu came over and said that Linglong wasn’t surprised when the Emperor wasn’t staying here tonight. Originally, it was him who flipped the green-headed card, but it wasn’t Huiqi’s impulse to change his mind. Instead, he wanted someone to know that he was much more important than Linglong.
Linglong felt a little bitter in her heart. She waved her hand and Eunuch Lu retreated.
Qin’er was dissatisfied, “Didn’t you say that you were in Cloud Phoenix Hall just now?”
There was a beautiful smile on the corner of Linglong’s mouth, but it was faint and graceful, almost undetectable. “This was just to make Lan Sou Yu feel that she was more important than me.”
Qin’er glanced at her, “But the one who is most favored in the harem now is you, Your Highness. Why did you let her crush us?”
Linglong had already figured out what was going on in this matter, but she was not an outsider. She couldn’t tell anyone, including Qin’er, so quickly.
“It’s just the Emperor’s intention. How can you and I guess at the ninth level of the Heavenly Heart? Go to bed earlier.” After Linglong finished speaking, she had already entered the bedroom hall on her own. Qin’er thought that Linglong was unhappy, so she embarrassedly went inside to make a bed for Linglong.
“No matter what outsiders say, we are us. As long as we remain unmoved, do you understand?” The corner of Linglong’s mouth moved.
Although Qin’er did not know what Linglong meant, she understood that Linglong had a plan. She could only nod her head, “This servant knows, but …”
“No, just … do you understand?” Linglong slowly lay on the bed. She felt that it was chilly outside. Qin’er went over and closed the window. The room was much quieter. Only the treetops were blown away by the strong wind. Linglong suddenly felt a little afraid.
She felt that her life was like the treetops under the clouds after a violent wind, extremely dangerous.
