Chapter 487 Want to see her
When Chu Linglong was dragged away, she felt hatred and fear in her heart, but she could not say anything and could only be dragged away. Wang Lu naturally would not let anyone die in Zhaohua Palace, so he took her back and let her stay in her own room to avoid any trouble. There were only a few ways to punish people in the palace, either with a knife, poison or white silk. If a knife was used, Wang Lu had no experience in this area. It was not convenient to take poison for no reason without reporting to the emperor, so the only option was white silk.
A white silk was hung right where Chu Linglong lived.
Chu Linglong looked at the white silk hanging down and shook her head desperately, and then she was tied up with her hands and hung up.
The moment the slave who was carrying her let go, she struggled subconsciously but could not get down. She only felt the pain of suffocation but did not die immediately. One would not die immediately if hanged. She was in so much pain that her consciousness became blurred, but at the same time, images flashed through her mind.
The scenes of her step by step from entering the palace to where she is now are extremely clear at this moment. Shen Qing said that the first time she gave birth prematurely, it was the Queen who did it, and the second time it was Concubine Zhou. In fact, she didn't dare to believe it just now, but she felt that Shen Qing didn't need to lie to her, but what did she do? She and Concubine Zhou have always been insincerely on good terms. Concubine Zhou came to comfort her after she lost her child. This vicious woman, did she blame her for accidentally causing her to lose her child? It was an accident, she didn't want it, poor her child, it has already happened, what can she do?
As for the Queen, she had never done anything wrong to the Emperor. When the Queen was deposed, she even deliberately asked someone to tell the Queen Mother that she could keep the Queen from being deposed.
It’s really ridiculous to think about it. What has she been through in her life?
Then Shen Qing's last words echoed in her mind, "Do you remember what you looked like before you entered the palace?"
After so many years in the palace, she was so sad that she almost died. This sentence reminded her of her childhood. Her parents doted on her. She was lively and even liked to dress up as a man when going out. She didn't want to enter the palace, so she went out to find out what the emperor liked and dressed up in a way that the emperor didn't like. But she still entered the palace.
After entering the palace, people gradually changed, especially with a pampered person like Shen Qing in front of them, how could people not look at her sideways? She was also raised by her parents and pampered, so how could she not want to make herself better? She wanted to compete for favor, but Shen Qing was too detached in the palace. She knew she couldn't compete, but she didn't want to be lost in the crowd.
She didn't want to live her life like this, so she became ambitious.
Chu Linglong originally told herself that it was not without benefit to the Chu family for her to make friends with King Huai, but when Shen Qing asked her if she had ever thought about implicating her family by doing so, her mind actually went blank for a moment.
Although she refuted it, she really didn't think much about it at the time. She even thought about what would happen if she was discovered, but she didn't think too much about her family. It was as if she subconsciously didn't think about it. Her family was so good to her and would spoil her unconditionally no matter what she did, so she was wasted for so long and only thought about herself.
Was it really for the Chu family that she befriended King Huai? Or was it to prevent herself from being lost in the harem and becoming like other unpopular concubines with no hope at all?
Chu Linglong suddenly burst into tears. She was not like this before. She really was not like this. She had endured too much hardship in this palace. She had lost two children. She wanted to live a better life. What was wrong with that? She thought of Chu Fuxin. Her brother treated her very well. He doted on her. Whenever she did something wrong, he would gently tell her that it was okay.
But this time it's different.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…
Chu Linglong regretted it. She should have been quiet and did nothing, just like the other obedient people in the harem. She missed her family, and then, she really saw her family. She saw her father coming to pick her up. She burst into tears and threw herself into her father's arms, just like when she was young and did something wrong and sought her father's comfort. And then, nothing happened.
Wang Lu watched Chu Linglong become motionless and followed Shen Qing's instructions to tell Concubine Shun the news of their death. Concubine Shun was so worried that she couldn't sleep at all. She was really scared when Wang Lu came to warn her, but fortunately, it was just a warning. She had some thoughts in her mind because of Chu Linglong's words. Knowing that Chu Linglong and her servant had been dealt with in such a short time, she didn't dare to have any more thoughts. It was so scary.
Wang Lu also punished the servants of the Qi Nian Palace with a stick as a warning. The servants of the Qi Nian Palace felt that they were unlucky for the rest of their lives. It was already bad enough to guard Concubine Shun, and now they had to deal with something like this. However, with the increase in the number of guards, they wouldn't be so busy in the future. And at least they were still alive. Wang Lu also asked someone to get them medicine, so it was a blessing in disguise.
It was already late at night when we finished dealing with these things.
The people around him had already been dealt with, so they didn't go looking for Zhao Hai that day.
On the second day, Wang Lu reported the matter to Zhao Hai, who felt really sick. He knew when Chu Linglong made friends with King Huai that she was restless. At this time, it was obvious that she felt that the emperor was dying, so she was planning to cause trouble. Zhao Hai despised such people to death. Now that Shen Qing was punishing someone, and on this day, he still thought that Shen Qing was wrong?
Now that the people have been dealt with, it is still necessary to let the emperor know, so Zhao Hai went to tell Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling's fever has subsided, but he is still listless, but he is much better than before. Hearing this, he felt sorry for Shen Qing who had been holding on these days, and he had to deal with such things: "Asshole, don't you know how to keep an eye on him?"
Zhao Hai hurriedly said: "The Queen must be worried that the Emperor has not recovered yet, and she doesn't want this matter to bother the Emperor, so she handled it herself and reported it."
Xuanyuan Ling felt relieved after hearing this. Yes, she was very considerate and handled it herself so as not to trouble him.
What else could Chu Linglong have wanted to do to Concubine Shun at this time? It was all for Prince Huai. What an ungrateful person. Did he know that if the news of his critical illness got out, what would be the consequences of such a thing happening on a day when the plague had not yet eased?
The court was turbulent and the people were uneasy. There might be unrest, which would cause great suffering to all. Shen Qing's harem was strictly managed and he acted decisively to prevent anyone from succeeding and preventing such a thing from happening. He did a really good job.
However: "I remember that I asked you to check on Chu Linglong that day. Do you think Chu Linglong looks well behaved?"
Zhao Hai broke out in a cold sweat, and he really hated Chu Linglong in his heart, this annoying thing.
"One year's salary deduction."
Zhao Hai: "...Thank you, Your Majesty qAq"
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Zhao Hai and said calmly: "I will allow you to recuperate for ten days, and then come back to work. I will give you a hundred taels of gold."
"?" Zhao Hai thought he had misheard, but then he found Xuanyuan Ling looking at him like that, and instantly he was about to burst into tears. The emperor was thinking about him and he was busy these days. He was very moved and wiped his tears: "I am not tired, as long as the emperor is fine, I am fine, thank the emperor for his grace."
Xuanyuan Ling curled his lips. He originally wanted to see Chen Qing, but he was still worried before she recovered. What if she was infected? It would have been fine if he hadn't heard from her, but now that he heard news about her, he missed her even more.
I miss seeing her, I miss her so much, I hope she will get well soon, then I can see her.
