Chapter 85 Loss of Patience (1/2)

Zui Linglong knew that Lengmei must have not expected this when she saw Lengmei's overreaction. Lengmei was obviously unprepared for her sarcasm.

Zui Linglong was very satisfied with Lengmei's reaction at this time and Lengmei had begun to fall into tension. Seeing Lengmei's expression, Zui Linglong could not help hooking up the corners of her mouth and said with a sneer,

”Help, please be soberer. And please use your mind to think about that, Bai Bulun helped you today just because he sympathized the pitiful image you pretended in front of the emperor. He will never stand by you.”

”Compared with you, a humble imperial concubine who does not deserve mentioning, of course, Bai Bulun is more partial to Chu Tiankuo. At the very least, do you know the purpose of Bai Bulun's this visit?”

”Doesn't he come to negotiate for peace with us?” Lengmei was still very puzzled with Zui Linglong's previous foreshadowing and still answered her questions honestly.

”Bai Bulun is only a humble envoy of the frontier tribe. Negotiating for peace is the order from the frontier leader, so what can he do even if he is dissatisfied with the emperor? Negotiations will succeed eventually.”

”What's more, now both sides are still on the stage of the conflict, and our strength is far greater than the frontier's. Bai Bulun is a smart and understanding person, so he will surely know how important it is for them to negotiate for peace with us.”

”Now he stands up for you just because of his momentary impulse. The emperor has already shown him his determination to severely punish Tang Xia and his sincerity to the frontier areas. According to Bai Bulun's character, he will surely try his best to negotiate for peace with us in the future.”

”And you, there is no meaning to him at all. Maybe Bai Bulun will even nicer to Tang Xia after that.”

”Whether the people emperor loves or the people around Chu Tiankuo that can talk to him, the person who can help Bai Bulun negotiate for peace successfully will be her, Tang Xia, but not you. Therefore, you have no value for Bai Bulun.”

Hearing Zui Linglong's words, Lengmei really began to worry about her situation at this time. Although she could not fully understand what Zui Linglong really meant, she still knew that Bai Bulun would not stand up for her all the time.

Even if the negotiation was successful at the end, she might land herself in serious trouble after Bai Bulun knew her true colors. She thought she had found a backer, but actually, she found an enemy for herself again.

But according to Lengmei's haughty and obstinate character, how could she admit her failings to Zui Linglong, an enigmatic diviner? In order to keep her face and let others think that she won this ”war”, she bit the bullet and said,

”So what? Bai Bulun did say it today and he helped me exactly, at least he must be on my side!”

After Lengmei finished, she also glanced at Zui Linglong disdainfully. Zui Linglong exposed her plot in the name of visiting her and satirized her failure, which really made her lose face. Thus, she could only keep her neck up to show her how powerful she was.

Zui Linglong kept silence. She knew that Lengmei had already been scared when she saw panic in Lengmei's eyes with her eyes which were good at penetrating. Lengmei would then continue to plan her own road.

Zui Linglong came here in the name of visiting Lengmei. Now she had been in Lengmei's palace for a while and had already achieved her purpose.

Hence, she took up the cup of tea, which Lengmei ordered a servant to provide for her and place on the sandalwood table, and took a few sips. Then she stood up and was ready to leave.

”Forget it! I just come to visit you. Since you look well, I will go back first.” Then Zui Linglong went out of the room.

Lengmei didn't salute and say anything more. She just saw Zui Linglong with a complicated look. The latter, who was still dressed in white, held a handkerchief, twisted her waist and disappeared in the gate of the courtyard.

Lengmei was really worried about her own situation at this time for Zui Linglong's words made her feel very uneasy. She must now continue to plan ahead to keep herself safe.

Lengmei thought Bai Bulun would stand up for her and Chu Tiankuo would definitely keep his words because he had promised Bai Bulun to punish Tang Xia severely.

But now, after hearing Zui Linglong's judgment, gradually, she began to understand that Chu Tiankuo said words to punish Tang Xia, but maybe he just wanted to stabilize Bai Bulun's mind of negotiating for peace and let Bai Bulun feel his sincerity.

As for how to punish Tang Xia, or whether he would punish Tang Xia on earth, it was another story.

Lengmei suddenly realized how ignorant she was. She thought her strategy had worked, but obviously not. On the contrary, she would end in failure again.

The only way she could think of now was to continue to deal with Chu Tiankuo so that she could continue to let the unsuspecting people think what she had done wrong was correct.

If she wanted others to continue to believe her, she must adopt a tough stance. What she needed most now was to let Chu Tiankuo believe her. Then court officials and Bai Bulun would also continue to believe her.

If Chu Tiankuo and Bai Bulun negotiated successfully, they still could maintain an honest and kind impression on her. Then she could be out of danger.

After a bit of brainstorming, finally, Lengmei was determined to continue to compel to ask Chu Tiankuo. She would insist that she was indeed pregnant and her child was killed by Tang Xia so that she could continue to pressure Chu Tiankuo and ask for justice.

Lengmei had almost finished her planning. Then she stood up and proceeded to Chu Tiankuo's palace.
