Chapter 131 If You Kill Him, You Will Die Too
Chapter 131 If You Kill Him, You Will Die Too
In the ninth year of Yuanfeng, at the end of the year, at midnight, everything was silent.
However, there was a tense and exciting atmosphere in the palace.
Ling Zir finally ushered in the important moment in her life - childbirth.
In this quiet night, time seemed to stand still. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the arrival of a new life.
Finally, at three quarters past midnight, a clear cry broke the silence of the night sky, and at this moment, the seven-star conjunction appeared in the sky, a rare phenomenon that only occurs once in a century.
Ling Zir successfully gave birth to the first little princess of the Yu Dynasty!
The news spread throughout the palace like a spring breeze, and even reached the ears of the people outside the palace.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Emperor Huo Yanchen was even more overjoyed. He gave the little princess a name on the spot - Huo Lingxiao, and conferred the title of Princess Qianming on her.
With the birth of the little princess, joy not only filled the palace, but also reached the hearts of every citizen.
In order to celebrate this event, the palace specially distributed a large amount of silver to the people. These gifts made people feel the emperor's great grace and also expressed blessings and love for the little princess.
For a time, the streets and alleys were filled with laughter and people loved the little princess very much.
They talked about her lovely appearance and looked forward to her happy future life.
The little princess became the focus of everyone's attention, and her every move touched people's hearts.
In the tenth year of Yuanfeng, the Year of the Dragon was auspicious, the new emperor got married, and the whole country celebrated. The ceremony of enthroning the queen was even more grand and extraordinary.
Early in the morning, Ling Zir was still asleep when Shu Zhu gently awakened her.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her who had been with her day and night for nearly half a year, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
The person in the mirror is beautiful, but his eyes reveal a hint of sadness.
Ling Zier asked softly: "Shuzhu, have you ever regretted choosing to follow me?"
Shu Zhu smiled slightly, picked up the comb and gently combed Ling Zier's silky hair, and replied: "How dare I fail to obey the imperial concubine's trust? From now on, you are the mother of this country, your status is extremely noble, and your words and actions must be in accordance with etiquette."
Hearing this, Ling Zier felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She knew that the "imperial concubine" was not herself, but Zhu Qing'an, her old friend, whose life and death were now uncertain...
After a long sigh, she said calmly: "When today's ceremony is over, I will let you leave the palace!"
When Shu Zhu heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip and asked with courage, "So...what about Imperial Physician Song? Can he leave with us?"
Seeing this, Ling Zier couldn't help but teased, "Of course, the two of you should stay away from the palace disputes and live a free and easy life! The farther you go, the better!"
After hearing this, Shuzhu's little face suddenly blushed and she nodded shyly in agreement.
……
The red carpet is spread out like a gorgeous scroll, seeming to extend into the endless distance.
The wizards cast mysterious and powerful magic to deliberately create a breathtaking scene of birds paying homage to the phoenix.
Flocks of birds fly in the sky, covered with colorful feathers, fluttering their wings and chirping melodiously, creating a magnificent and beautiful scene.
All of this makes people sigh, as if there is really a sacred atmosphere destined by God.
All the officials knelt on their knees and kowtowed to the emperor and empress in unison. Their voices resounded through the sky like thunder, majestic and stirring: "Your Highness, long live the emperor!"
"Greetings to the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Huo Yanchen was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking handsome and majestic; Ling Zir was dressed in a gorgeous dress, looking beautiful and charming.
The two of them stood side by side, arm in arm, showing their immense love and intimacy.
Huo Yanchen leaned forward slightly and said softly to everyone: "My dear ministers, please stand up!" His tone was calm and gentle, but it contained supreme majesty.
Ling Zir'er stared quietly at the person standing next to her, her eyes revealing endless sadness and sorrow.
Suddenly, a dazzling flash of fire streaked across the sky, as if tearing the blue sky apart.
Accompanied by a thrilling horse neighing, the Wangdu city gate was unexpectedly hit and collapsed.
As the dust flew, people were horrified to find that the woman sitting in the open carriage was none other than Zhu Qing'an, the "evil concubine who brought disaster to the country" who had been controversial and criticized by everyone not long ago.
And when people's eyes turned to the man on horseback beside her, they couldn't help but gasp and groan in their hearts - it turned out that this man was Ling Huaici, the Thousand Year Old Lord who was extremely powerful and feared by all!
In an instant, the once bustling streets became completely silent, as if time had frozen. The crowd began to stir, and retreated in fear, fearing that they would be implicated.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jiu immediately shouted loudly: "The imperial court is arresting the traitors, all outsiders please get out of the way! Do not hinder the officials from doing their work!" His voice resounded throughout the streets like thunder, making people terrified.
After hearing these words, the people woke up as if from a dream. They did not even bother to clean up their roadside stalls. Instead, they anxiously picked up their young children and rushed home like headless flies.
As they ran, they did not forget to lock the door tightly. Some families even locked the door several times in a row, as if this would make them feel a little more at ease.
Then, these panicked people began to pack their bags in a hurry, ready to flee this troubled place at any time...
*
The palace suddenly received the news, and the whole scene fell into chaos, almost out of control. Huo Yanchen's face was solemn, and he shouted loudly: "Zhu Wen!"
Upon hearing the emperor's call, Zhu Wen rushed in without hesitation and quickly led a group of guards to surround the officials present. He held a sharp sword and ordered majestically: "Don't move!"
Huo Yanchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a devilish smile: "My dear ministers, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think that my time is up and I won't live long?"
His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the crowd, causing every official whose eyes were touched to feel a chill in their hearts. No one dared to speak easily, for fear that saying the wrong thing would bring about a fatal disaster.
Faced with the emperor's questioning, all the officials bowed their heads in silence, trembling with fear, fearing that they would lose their heads if they were not careful.
At this time, Huo Yanchen turned his head to look at Ling Zier beside him, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "Zier, it is not advisable to stay here for long. I will send someone to escort you back to the palace first. Don't worry, everything will be properly handled."
However, unexpectedly, Ling Zir'er shook her head and responded with a firm look in her eyes: "No, Zir'er wants to accompany Your Majesty to face it together." She held Huo Yanchen's hand tightly, expressing her willingness to go through this difficult time with him.
Huo Yanchen was slightly stunned, but soon a relieved smile appeared on his face. He understood Ling Zier's feelings, and believed that he had the ability to protect her safety.
So he nodded and decided to keep Ling Zirro by his side.
Seeing this, Ye Qi smiled slightly and disappeared into the crowd...
Ling Huaici escorted the emperor, and Qing Han soon arrived in front of this palace that couldn't be more familiar, and said faintly: "Holy monk, how are you?"
Ling Zir'er was delighted to see that her good friend was safe and sound, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
Huo Yanchen had been staring at Ling Huaici the whole time. He only set his eyes on Qinghan after hearing what he said. He curled his lips and said, "You really didn't disappoint me."
Qing Han raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Really? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you now!"
Huo Yanchen noticed the way Ling Huaici looked at Qinghan. That look was exactly the same as the way he looked at Ling Zier. He said with interest, "Thank you, sir. You have a good eye!"
Hearing this, Ling Huaici gave him a look and said, "Yeah, I think so too."
Huo Yanchen continued: "If you two come here to congratulate me today, I will certainly welcome you very much. If you..."
Qing Han interrupted: "Hey, we really aren't here to congratulate you! We're here to mess things up!"
Huo Yanchen raised his lips: "Then don't blame me for being rude! Archers, get ready!"
Qing Han didn't take him seriously, he just pointed at Ling Huaici and said calmly: "Kill him... and you will die too!"
Huo Yanchen looked at her in confusion, and Qinghan kindly continued to explain: "Do you remember the time I applied medicine to you?"
Huo Yanchen thought about it carefully, and then he suddenly understood: "You! Despicable!"
"Hey, don't say that!" Qing Han stood up and stepped down from the sedan chair: "This is called 'All is fair in war'!"
Huo Yanchen drew his sword and rushed forward, but Ling Huaici blocked it for Qinghan. Ling Zier's hand, which she stretched out to block, missed before it even touched his arm, and she fell forward.
Qing Han immediately flew forward, hugged her around the waist, and whispered, "Be careful."
