Chapter 86 Machination (1/2)

As Chu Tiankuo left coldly, Lengmei felt quite disappointed, clenching her fist. And she was so angry that she could not feel that her fingernails were pinched into her palm when she followed Chu Tiankuo with her eyes.

”Don't blame me for being ruthless if you do so!” Lengmei thought, staring at the direction of Tang Xia's palace fiercely.

The next day, Lengmei had someone build up the altar outside and summoned many people to watch it at noon.

Lengmei sent out the message on purpose so that many ministers also came here to watch the scene of bustle as if she feared the audience was not enough.

After a while, Lengmei who was supported by her maid came.

Lengmei wore a pure white dress with no hair accessory. The color of Lengmei's face was quiet. Her appearance was somewhat haggard but not confounded, which highlighted her elegance and beauty.

No wonder there was an old saying that women should wear in white if they wanted to attract people's eyes.

Lengmei stepped from the bottom onto the altar slowly as Chu Tiankuo and Tang Xia came here, too.

Tang Xia felt more restless as Lengmei walked up step by step and her face gradually turned white.

Chu Tiankuo felt a little bit sorry for Tang Xia at the sight of her uneasy look and tapped her on the back as a consolation.

As Lengmei walked slowly, Chu Tiankuo and Tang Xia suddenly understood what Lengmei had done these days was beyond her plan!

Only in retrospect did they realise what Lengmei had done was a machination.

As Tang Xia gradually understood what Lengmei's purpose was, she wore a cold look and stared at Lengmei as if she looked at a dead person.

Tang Xia knew what had happened was just warm-up. There must be some reasons that Lengmei did not treat her like this at the beginning.

Maybe it was because that what had happened was not enough for Lengmei to complain of wrongs on the altar and that people would regard Lengmei as making trouble out of nothing.

But Lengmei's plan succeeded because she framed Tang Xia as the culprit who made Lengmei lose her baby and slandered that as the empress, Tang Xia

was not lenient at all and made Lengmei lose her baby in the womb. Common people would definitely condemn Tang Xia for this matter.

Actually, it was no surprise if Lengmei had a miscarriage as the imperial physician said that Lengmei's pulse condition was not good and that she would lose her baby if she did not take good care of herself. But what did Lengmei do?

After Lengmei got pregnant, she did not take good care of herself but ran about. There was no wonder that she had a miscarriage.

Besides, people among the imperial harem were quite sophisticated of all ages. Many imperial concubines could get pregnant, but how many of them could give birth to their baby? How many babies could grow up healthily even though they were born?

However, Lengmei went everywhere to show off that her baby was Chu Tiankuo's first child and was the eldest son of the country after she got pregnant.

Although her baby was not born by the empress, the eldest son of a family was also quite important. It was no wonder that those old ministers cared for Lengmei's baby.

But Lengmei had a miscarriage now, which meant that the eldest son was gone. And his death was related to the empress Tang Xia.

Those old ministers had looked down upon Tang Xia with the thought that Chu Tiankuo only favored Tang Xia because Tang Xia had enchanted Chu Tiankuo,

and they disliked Tang Xia more now. Moreover, they could submit memorials to His Majesty to banish Tang Xia to the cold palace with the matter of Lengmei's miscarriage.

As such a thing happened, Lengmei made Chu Tiankuo face the severity of the problem and have reason to punish Tang Xia.

Chu Tiankuo and Tang Xia who stood in the audience and watched Lengmei's acting. Both of them thought of the problem and turned their heads, looking at each other.

Hence, they both wore an uneasy look. While Tang Xia was angry because Lengmei had framed her for several times,

which made her impatient, Chu Tiankuo was pissed off because he could not protect his beloved woman.

Lengmei who stood on the altar was praying to god and told the common people how wronged she was

with tears on her face, which made her appear lovingly pathetic rather than uncollected.

Common people in the audience defended Lengmei against injustice and started to censure Tang Xia.
