Chapter 82 It Is Time (2/2)

In fact, Lengmei wondered why the imperial physician chose to help her with the diagnosis even if she had not come to an agreement with him.

It was quite creepy if she pondered on it. And Lengmei had a faint idea that it was relevant to Zui Linglong.

As she thought so, Lengmei raised her head and looked at Zui Linglong, ”Tell me, did you play the trick?” If Zui Linglong did it, Lengmei would become so relieved.

Zui Linglong ignored Lengmei's doubtful look and answered after giving loud laughter, ”It doesn't matter whether it was me or not; no one finds out your false pregnancy. It is enough.”

After hearing what Zui Linglong had said, Lengmei became a little bit anxious and tapped on the table, ”Make it clear, Zui Linglong. If my false pregnancy is found out, we will both be punished.” Lengmei thought that she could threaten Zui Linglong in this way.

Unexpectedly, Zui Linglong picked up the cup and took a sip from it slowly as if she did not care about it at all.

”I can do nothing about it!” Lengmei turned her head around impatiently.

Lengmei just wanted to know what it was about. How could she not be worried as she padded her belly?

As Zui Linglong noticed that Lengmei was quite anxious, she wore a faint smile, ”Take care of yourself, Your Grace. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore.”

Zui Linglong's words somewhat set Lengmei's mind at rest. Then Lengmei heaved a sigh of relief and became surer of her conjecture.

Now that Zui Linglong had assured that she did not need to worry about it, Lengmei thought that they would both be punished at the worst. As she thought so, Lengmei felt quite relieved.

”In this case, I won't force you to admit it.” Lengmei wore her usual calm look.

As it was getting dark, the tea became cold. So Lengmei shouted the old maid waiting outside the room.

A maid served them a pot of freshly brewed tea after a while.

As Lengmei looked at the tender tea leaves floating on the surface, Lengmei pondered that Zui Linglong was not an ordinary person, she might as well...

”Would you do me a favor?” Lengmei asked with a smile.

”It is my pleasure, Your Grace.” Zui Linglong replied obediently.

Lengmei felt quite pleased as she needed someone to help her implement the following plans. It would be best for her that Zui Linglong could help.

Then Lengmei told everything about her plan to Zui Linglong in a few minutes.

When she finished her sentence, Lengmei asked, ”What do you think?”

Zui Linglong nodded, looking at Lengmei's cold eyes.

”Good! I appreciate the brave woman just like you.” Lengmei clapped her hands and began to praise Zui Linglong, not caring whether Zui Linglong was listening to her.

As Lengmei praised her too much, Zui Linglong regarded Lengmei as hypocritical and said, ”I'm flattered. I'll always be at your service, Your Grace.”

Zui Linglong waved her hands impatiently and was ready to hear what Lengmei's good plan was.

At the same time, Lengmei thought that she was talking too much nonsense and stopped her compliment. Then Lengmei got close to Zui Linglong, she said after hesitating for a moment.

”There will be riots in the border area a few days later. Several wars will be inevitable then.”

”What do you mean, Your Grace?” Zui Linglong pretended to wear a frustrating look, thinking that Lengmei was not that stupid as she knew that she should implement her plan during the special period.

Lengmei was quite satisfied with Zui Linglong's reaction and said after pondering for a while, ”Compared to the military of the border area, ours is not weak. Besides, we own brave and battlewise generals and soldiers. After several wars, their soldiers must be greatly reduced.”

After hearing Lengmei's clear and logical analysis, Zui Linglong nodded her head with some doubts.

”Even if their soldiers are reduced, how will it be helpful to your plan, Your Grace?”

Lengmei replied to Zui Linglong grumpily, ”What we lack is a good opportunity. When the wars take a heavy toll of lives from the border area, our good opportunity will come.”

Then Lengmei wore a quite coquettish smile. Apparently, 'war' was not cruel any more for two of them.

In a sense, Lengmei was just waiting for an appropriate time. And the following war between her country and the border area was the right time.

Lengmei knew clearly that she could not wait for too long, neither should she be too hurried. It would be so pathetic to mess it up if she was too impatient.

As Lengmei wanted to win, she must be quite careful and consolidate at every step.

”What you mean...” Zui Linglong understood what Lengmei meant.

”As long as the wars take a heavy toll of lives from the border area, the minister will be sent here to sue for peace.” Lengmei clenched her fist, ”By then, we can implement our plan.”

Zui Linglong nodded her head, ”So we need to get well prepared, Your Grace.”

”Of course we do.” This matter allowed no errors.

Lengmei felt refreshed and was in a good mood.

After Zui Linglong left, Lengmei said to herself, ”It is time.”
