Tang Xia looked into the distance scornfully with a sneer and went to the altar with Lyuyou.
When Tang Xia arrived at the bottom of the altar, people called as expected, "Here comes the empress!"
Then almost everyone fixed their eyes on Tang Xia angrily as if they lost the baby, instead of Lengmei.
"She is the empress! What a beauty!"
"So what? She is so vicious."
"Right!"
"The empress must be a malicious woman as she has done such a cruel thing!"
"Agree! It will bring bad fortune to a family with such a cruel hostess."
"So His Majesty..."
"His Majesty is enchanted by her beauty!"
"Right, no one is perfect!"
Common people discussed when they saw Tang Xia. Then favorable statements were for Lengmei as expected while Tang Xia was universally condemned.
Looking at those who were ignorant of the truth, Tang Xia sighed in
The sudden death of Lengmei surprised everyone in the room. Watching she fall from the high platform made everyone feel shocked. There were many doubts about her death since she committed suicide before the emperor could give an order. Although Lengmei looked very desperate on the altar, how could she admit defeat with her sinister character? Even if Chu Tiankuo ordered to execute her, she would undoubtedly strive for mercy. Lengmei was unyielding, so she would rather be wronged at this time, obeying and begging for mercy, and then revenge in the future. She would never dig a grave and jump into it. Every time she got into trouble, Lengmei would try everything to escape from the dilemma. With her wisdom, she could surely frame somebody and then retreat perfectly. But obviously, this time, something had gone wrong. When people saw Lengmei fall heavily to the ground from the high platform, they were scared, screaming without warn
Upon hearing this, Tang Xia glared at him and then turned around in his faint smile with a red face. Suddenly she turned back and sneered. She said stubbornly, "It was a rare moment that you, a piece of wood, were touched. If I don't keep it in mind, I will lack a reason to deal with your concubines." Chu Tiankuo suddenly laughed. Was she going to say that she remembered these things because she was on guard to keep this to ridicule him? It was ridiculous. "Really? Then you don't have enough reasons in your hand!" Tang Xia looked up and found Chu Tiankuo's eyes were ironic with some disdain. "It's all my business and none of your business! I am happy with that." Tang Xia raised her hand and slammed on the table, raising her head and looking at him. "Yes, you are happy, but you have to know. Talking to me like this, you can be decapitated." Chu Tiankuo suddenly approached her ear, and sa
"Your Grace, the imperial concubine is coming." Lyuyou came in and said. "Imperial concubine?" At this time, Tang Xia thought of Lengmei. "It's me." Zui Linglong walked in lightly. She smiled and made a salute. "Greetings, Your Grace." "Please sit down." When Tang Xia saw Zui Linglong, she became extremely cautious. After saying that, she told people to serve tea. "Why do you come to see me?" Seeing Zui Linglong, she couldn't help thinking of a lot of words, such as smiling face tigers, honey-mouthed and dagger-hearted, hiding a dagger in a smile, and so on. Although she had seen many people and had a lot of experience, she would be exhausted to deal with this kind of femme fatale. If she could, she really wanted to send the guest away and said goodbye to Zui Linglong immediately. "What are you talking about? Do you mean that if I don't have anything, I cannot come to see you?" Zui Linglong glanced a
In the next early morning, the sun was shining brightly. Tang Xia lay on the bed lazily with her eyebrows knitted, stretching her limbs out. As warm sunlight cast on Tang Xia's face through the mist of early morning, her face was bathed in golden light. Tang Xia in the sleep raised her hand up subconsciously to cover her eyes as if she felt uncomfortable because of the sunlight. Then she felt that her nose itched as if something that was fluffy kept on teasing her. Tang Xia shook her head subconsciously. However, that thing kept on teasing her until Tang Xia woke up. After she opened up her eyes slowly, Tang Xia waved her hands when she got fully adapted to the sunlight and shook her head. When she saw the magnified face in front of her, Tang Xia opened her eyes suddenly and shouted after taking a deep breath. "Ah!!!" A sharp and scared shout belched into the sky. Chu Tiankuo froze for a while as he
Although it was a sunny day, Tang Xia was in a gloomy mood. She held the fiction that she had read many times in both hands idly and sighed, sitting on the couch. "Damned Chu Tiankuo! He fooled with me completely! He swaggered off after enjoying a night with me." "And he planned all these!" Tang Xia slapped the fiction in hands and turned over, lying on the couch angrily. Lyuyou looked at Tang Xia's back worriedly and sighed quietly. What she had looked forward to was that the emperor and the empress could live a happy life and treat each other courtesy. Her worry was of no use as their relationship could not progress. Finally, the emperor who was drunk came to the empress's palace and had a pleasant night with Tang Xia... Lyuyou still remembered that she left happily with other palace maids. However, the emperor was 'threw' out by the empress the next morning. Lyuyou worried so much for Tang Xia as
As Lyuyou looked at Tang Xia, Tang Xia also gazed at that palace maid, not planning to take the soup. The palace maid lowered her head, noticing that Tang Xia did not believe her. Then she hurried to say, "Your Grace, please take it. If I go back with the soup, my master will beat me to death." As the palace maid said so, she knelt on the ground plaintively and kowtowed continuously, "My master has been locked up by His Majesty. She is truly sorry. Please take the soup, Your Grace!" Tang Xia and Lyuyou were both frightened by palace maid's reaction and looked at each other. Then Lyuyou came to help that palace maid up. "All right, stop crying. You will definitely be punished without accomplishing your task." Tang Xia sighed, "Now that she is sorry for what she has done, I don't blame her anymore. Leave the soup." "Thanks, Your Grace! Thank you!" That palace maid was moved to tears of gratitude and gave the hamper
Standing before the door of Concubine Lan's chamber and hearing the cries from inside, Tang Xia's face turned gloomy. Her face was a little pale, and doubts arose in her mind. "What? Concubine Lan is dead?" Tang Xia stood still, aghast, murmuring to herself. It was herself that was meant to be poisoned. How come Concubine Lan was dead? She felt it was very weird and decided to go inside to check Concubine Lan's corpse. At right that moment, several concubines walked outside of the chamber. They were close to Concubine Lan before she was dead. After seeing Tang Xia standing outside the door, their faces turned dark at the thought of Concubine Lan's innocent death. They were thinking about themselves ending up with the same fate. After seeing that Tang Xia was about to enter the chamber, they spoke one after another to stop Tang Xia at the door. "Well! Isn't it the empress? What're you doing here?" sai
"What? Concubine Orchid is dead?" Just as Tang Xia heard about the news, Chu Tiankuo also heard about it from his servants. "I want to know who is so bold to commit murder in my harem! Let's go to Concubine Orchid's place!" Chu Tiankuo said as he rushed to the scene with his servants. When Chu Tiankuo arrived, Tang Xia arrived too. "Your Majesty, did you come here to see Concubine Orchid too?" asked Tang Xia even though she already figured it out from Chu Tiankuo's look. "Yeah! I want to know who is provoking me in secret!" And then Chu Tiankuo and Tang Xia walked in together. There was only Concubine Orchid in the chamber. She was lying on the bed without anyone beside her bed. Tang Xia and Chu Tiankuo walked over and checked her appearance. Her face was deadly pale, and her lips were partly purple with bloodstains at the corners. Her eyes were gaping and fixed at the ceiling.
