Wind and Rain Empire

The palace people had been busy all night, and they cleaned up the Hall of Renming

The sacrificial coffin was placed in the middle of the mourning hall, the emperor and Princess Yongping stood beside the coffin, and the concubines entered the hall one after another

Dressed in mourning clothes, Zi Linglong brought two maidservants in, and walked in front of the emperor and Princess Yongping.

The emperor's eyes were red, and Princess Yongping continued to cry

Zi Linglong stepped forward to comfort her

"Officials, princess, people cannot be resurrected after death, please don't be too sad, your body is important"

Princess Yongping choked up

"Sister Linglong, the queen mother has suffered all her life, and since the death of brother Yichen, the queen mother has not had a good time, and now she has also met with brother Yichen (sigh) Hey, what is the reason for this person's death? What's the matter?"

Zi Linglong stood beside Yongping, and whispered to her

"Linglong thinks this way. This person's body is attached to the spirit, so it can move. When the body suffers a lot and is no longer controlled by the spirit, the spirit will leave."

Princess Yongping looked at Zi Linglong curiously with tears in her eyes

"Where did that man's spirit go?"

Zi Linglong choked up

"I went to a place where the water is clear, the sky is blue, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is no more pain and dispute."

"Did the queen mother just go there to enjoy her blessings?"

Zi Linglong nodded, with a soothing tone

"yes……"

"Then can Yongping go?"

Zi Linglong smiles lightly

"Whether you like it or not, everyone is going"

Princess Yongping continued to ask

"Then what's the difference between going earlier and going later?"

"If a person can't bear the suffering of this world, he can go, but if he thinks this world is still beautiful, and you can still get happiness and joy from it, then he can live forever (looks at Yongping) Yongping , you and your father are the happiest people in the world, so you will live with your father until you are very old."

"What about you, Sister Linglong?"

Zi Linglong maintained a calm smile

"Who knows, but Linglong really doesn't care."

The emperor hugged Zi Linglong

"Don't talk nonsense! I want to finish this life with you"

Zi Linglong didn't speak, just smiled

Lan Xueyi entered the mourning hall wearing black and white mourning clothes, and saw that many people had already arrived in the mourning hall

Concubine Shu standing by the side of the mourning hall pushed Concubine De next to her

"Hey, look, the woman wants to be pretty in a filial piety, it's the first time I've seen this woman wear a filial piety so handsomely."

Concubine De beat Concubine Shu

"What do you say? Shut up!"

Lan Xueyi looked at the coffin in front of her and was speechless. Yongping ran over to hug her, and Zi Linglong just stared blankly.

"Meet the foster father"

"Xueyi, you don't need to salute today."

"Yes, foster father"

Lan Xueyi turned to ask Zi Linglong, puzzled

"Linglong, hasn't the stepmother recovered after taking the pill you gave me? How could she still..."

Zi Linglong didn't expect that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the greeting was actually this sentence. She felt a little disappointed, so she just shook her head and confessed

"I don't know the reason. Normally, after taking it, it will recover after careful nursing."

Princess Yongping hugged Lan Xueyi and kept crying

Lan Xueyi pats Yongping

"Yongping, be good, don't cry, your mother will feel distressed when she sees it"

Princess Yongping sobbing

"Sister Xueyi, Yongping is so uncomfortable."

Lan Xueyi turned his gaze to the emperor

"Father, mother has gone, you have to mourn"

the emperor shook his head

"I owe too much to the queen. Now that she is gone, I am exhausted. This harem..."

Seeing that it was useless to talk to the two father and daughter, Lan Xueyi had no choice but to say to Zi Linglong.

"Linglong, help the official family back, it's getting late"

Just as Zi Linglong was about to step forward to help the emperor, the emperor waved his hands and straightened up

"I don't want to go back yet"

As soon as the words fell, he saw him holding his head with his hands, shaking his body twice, and fainted on the ground

Princess Yongping turned around to help her up, calling

"Father, father!"

At this time, a group of people rushed up to help the emperor with a "wow", but they were stopped by Lan Xueyi, who calmly commanded and ordered two little eunuchs

"The two of you go to the imperial physician! Eunuch Wu, Linglong, and Yongping help your adoptive father go back to the palace."

"Yes, General"

The two little eunuchs quickly ran away from the mourning hall

The emperor was supported to leave the Hall of Renming

The concubine Xian who stood aside for a long time educated all the concubines

"See, this is someone who has experienced things. Don't be alarmed when things change, seek order in the chaos, as women, we concubines should also learn a little bit."

Although Concubine De and Concubine Shu didn't say anything, they both thought of something in their hearts

"Is she still a woman?"

Funing Hall Emperor's Bedroom

Inside and outside the house, eunuchs, maids, and physicians are busy running around, carrying bowls and water for a while.

Zi Linglong and Lan Xueyi stood in the inner hall waiting, Zi Linglong reached out to hold Lan Xueyi's hand, Lan Xueyi was afraid of being seen, so she turned her hand away

This move greeted Zi Linglong's dissatisfied eyes

At this time, Doctor Zhang came to the two of them.

"Your Majesty, General, I don't know when the official family will wake up. It's getting late, and we will take care of the official family. You two can go back at ease."

Lan Xueyi was about to say something to the imperial physician, but Zi Linglong stopped her and shook her head

Zi Linglong vs Dr. Zhang

"Anyway, we can't help you here, so the two of us will not bother you, the imperial physician, and come to visit the official's house tomorrow morning."

Lan Xueyi surrendered to Imperial Physician Zhang, Zi Linglong pulled Lan Xueyi away

After walking for a long time before returning to Ziyun Pavilion, Zi Linglong dragged Lan Xueyi along the way.

After entering the door, Zi Linglong let go

Lan Xueyi asked puzzledly

"Linglong, what are you doing?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long and you haven't even said a word of greeting to me"

"Now is not the time to talk about this?"

Zi Linglong looked at Lan Xueyi with sullen eyes

"Well, what should we say now? Do you want to tell the imperial doctor that I still have a life-saving pill here?"

"yes"

Zi Linglong got angry and pouted

"I won't give it!"

Lan Xueyi stepped forward

"Sister Linglong, that's my adoptive father, you see him haggard like that, and he likes you so much, don't you want to save him?"

"It was your adoptive mother before, and now it's your adoptive father. Do I have to save everyone who is related to you? Besides, he just passed out and woke up after an hour or two. , I don’t need my life-saving pill.”

Lan Xueyi was also angry

"Since you say so, don't use it, don't use it (turn around and prepare to leave)"

Zi Linglong grabs Lan Xueyi

"Sister Xueyi, don't be angry, it's not that I don't want to give it to the officials, but... (pause) I'm worried that you will need to use it when you go back to the camp"

Lan Xueyi was startled, turned her head

"Aren't you the only one? You kept it for me?"

Zi Linglong took out a small bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Lan Xueyi

"Yeah, this is the only one. It's reserved for you. I don't want to use it for anyone but you. Of course, since I've already given it to you, whoever you want to use it for is yourself." I have made my own choice, even if you feed it to the officials now, I have nothing to say."

She turned her back with a dark face, not looking at Lan Xueyi.

Lan Xueyi looked at Zi Linglong, feeling warm in her heart, hugged Zi Linglong from behind, held her hand

"Linglong, I misunderstood you, you miss me so much, I am the luckiest in my life to have such a good sister like you"

"Now you are willing to touch my hand again, and you didn't respond to me when I went to hold you before."

"I also want to explain this to you. You are now the concubine of your adoptive father. Even if we are both women, we still have to be polite. It doesn't matter how much you mess around with the door closed in your own room. You still have to do it when you are outside." Courtesy is thoughtful”

"Okay, I know what you mean." Zi Linglong smiled at Lan Xueyi, "is the door closed now?"

Lan Xueyi turned around, "Linglong..."

"I knew you would dislike me after I entered the palace!"

"I don't dislike you, on the contrary, I am very grateful to you, but..."

Zi Linglong also knew that Lan Xueyi had a problem with her current identity, so she gave up the idea of ​​arguing with her

"Forget it, you and I are sisters, regardless of each other, what else do we need to say to thank you?"

blue snowsuit holding a bottle

"I have accepted this medicine, and I will never use it unless it is absolutely necessary. It's getting late, and I'm going back home."

Zi Linglong stays

"It will be dawn in two hours, you can spend the night with me"

Lan Xueyi shook his head

"You and I have different identities. If I come to you in the middle of the night, those unreasonable people can talk about it for several months after dinner. If you stay another night, it will be even worse for your reputation."

"Don't you all say that I have no reputation, why mention it now?"

Lan Xueyi patted Zi Linglong on the shoulder

"That's just what you know and what I know...Okay, let's not talk, I'm leaving"

Lan Xueyi strode out the door

A Zi Linglong who was full of thoughts was left behind, she looked at the empty door

"What should I do..."

It just so happened that the little maid came in with a smile on her face

Zi Linglong sat on the chair and asked with a straight face

"Where did you go just now, you are alone in this palace and you still run around?"

The little maid hurriedly bowed

"Your Majesty, when you went to the Hall of Renming, the servants saw that the tea in the palace was finished, so they thought you would want to drink it when you came back, so they went to Concubine Shu's Palace to borrow some."

"Then why were you laughing just now? It's the day when the empress is on a grand tour. If you are going to be seen, people will say that I am not good at discipline."

"The servant knew it was wrong"

"Then why are you laughing?"

"The servant girl is afraid that the empress will be angry, so she dare not say..."

Zi Linglong was very curious about what a court lady could do to make her angry, so she said

"If you don't tell me, I will be really angry."

"It's General Lan..."

Zi Linglong regained her spirit

"What's up with her?"

"The servant accidentally scattered the tea bags on the ground on the way back with the tea in her arms. It was hard to pick up too much. When I was worried, General Lan helped me."

"Just for this?"

"General, she also said..."

"If you have anything to say, say it all at once!"

"She also said that the servant's hand is like the mother's hand, it feels delicate and smooth..."

Zi Linglong stood up abruptly, feeling like she had knocked over a five-flavored bottle, complaining dissatisfiedly in her heart

"Sister Xueyi, what are you doing! It makes sense to teach me a lesson, and she's messing around outside, even a little maid!"

The maid stared blankly at Zi Linglong, wondering what she was going to do

Zi Linglong walked up to the maid, but she just gave her a blank look, and then walked out of the door of Ziyun Pavilion

"Ma'am, where are you going so late?"

"I'm going to take care of the official family!"

Xiao Hua: I didn't expect you to be such a Lan Xueyi!It looks like I misjudged you before

Lan Xueyi: ...
