Chapter 68 Protection (1/2)
The woman only said this one sentence, and the whole scene was controlled and quieted down.
She was in a silver dress, standing there in such a quiet manner. She looked pure and clean and had a beautiful face which made people unable to violate her.
As if looking at her was an insult to her, this person turned out to be the famous female immortal Zui Linglong!
People were whispering and discussing her identity. Who was she? She actually dared to ask the imperial envoy to stop at the execution ground. Someone recognized her and shouted with amazement.
”Female immortal! The female immortal in here.”
As if a pot of boiling water had been poured in the crowd, they suddenly became noisy.
”Zui Linglong, the real female immortal!”
”I didn't expect that I finally saw the living female immortal!”
”Female immortal, please bless us!”
”Female immortal, please bless us!”
...
For a time, all the people were kneeling down on the ground, and they asked for blessing by kowtowing to Zui Linglong.
Zui Linglong slowly stepped onto the platform as if she were entering a temple instead of a penalty platform.
She went up and stood in the center of the penalty platform, looking at the imperial envoy sitting in the seat and slowly said,
”Let him go.” Her voice sounded as cold as her appearance, but it was her style.
The imperial envoy did not figure out the situation for a moment. First, the Empress asked to release Helian Jue with an imperial edict, and then Lengmei ran out to accuse the Empress's edict was false.
Now some female immortal showed up and asked him to release the criminal. The imperial envoy felt that his brain had been burned. He was shocked by the people who suddenly knelt, so he did not know how to respond to Zui Linglong.
Lengmei, who stopped tussling, was still angry and her wounds caused by Tang Xia hurt! She was pissed off when hearing that Zui Linglong asked to set the man free.
Immediately, she widened her eyes and put her hands into her waist, waving her hands toward Zui Linglong and yelling fiercely,
”Who the hell are you? You suddenly came here and terrified me! How dare you ask him to let go of the former emperor! Who do you think you are?
”How can you do that? Why do we have to release him as you said? Do you think you are the emperor? You are just a yellow-haired girl. How dare you!”
While she speaking, Lengmei pointed at Zui Linglong fiercely and continued to say, ”You quickly get out, or I will ask the soldiers to drag you down.”
Zui Linglong gave a faint look at Lengmei and did not respond to her or say anything, but these people who knelt beneath heard and saw Lengmei clearly.
They cursed Lengmei and said,
”You are a vicious woman. This is the female immortal! Quickly widen your eyes and kowtow to apologize!”
”Hey! She is too venomous and disqualified to kowtow to female immortal! I mean she is disrespectful to female immortal and she should die.”
”Right! Kill this mean woman!”
”She dares to say that female immortal is a bad person. I say Lengmei is the real evil!”
For a time, the people down were all moved up, and all of them were filled with indignation as if Lengmei insulted them instead of Zui Linglong.
Some people raised the leaves of the rotten vegetables and eggs that had been used to throw to Helian Jue and wanted to hit Lengmei.
Lengmei was really not aware of the identity of Zui Linglong, or she would not say such words!
When she saw the actions of the people below, she panicked at once. She was an imperial concubine!
She was going to make a Queen in the future! If the common people threw the rotten leaves and eggs at her, how would people see her?
It would be impossible for her to be a concubine quietly, not to mention her dream of beating Tang Xia and being a queen. Without any reputation, it would affect her whole life!
Since Tang Xia saw Zui Linglong, she had been shocked there, completely ignoring the wounds hit by Lengmei.
She couldn't figure out when Helian Jue had a relationship with Zui Linglong, and Zui Linglong offended Lengmei for him. As the saying went, people would rather offend an evildoer than a woman. Lengmei was both an evildoer and a woman.
However, when Tang Xia looked at the people who were under the platform, and Zui Linglong who looked like a beautiful fairy and the embarrassed Lengmei, she felt funny and admired Zui Linglong more.
”Zui Linglong is a smart woman. She is just standing there and does nothing and Lengmei is punished.”
Just when the people were so excited and wanted to throw something at Lengmei, a bright yellow carriage appeared in front of everyone. The driver was Little Orange and the emperor's mark was engraved on the carriage.
”This... this is...”
”The Emperor! It is the Emperor!”
