Chapter 93 Liar! (2/2)

She wanted to pick some beautiful flowers and saw through the leaves that Chu Tiankuo was drinking with his ministers.

As she dared not to bother them, she picked some flowers and hid behind the artificial hill.

”How bold and powerful you were last night, Your Majesty! You own such a good capacity for liquor that you can remain calm after drinking that much!”

”You are flattering me! It is common for me to drink as it can relieve your worries. It will be a contempt for the wine if you get drunk so easily.” Tang Xia thought it was Chu Tiankuo who said these sentences as his attractive voice was easy to tell among those people.

”Ha-ha, you are right, Your Majesty! I propose a toast to you.” A minister said and drank up his wine.

”Ha-ha.” Chu Tiankuo's gestures and expressions were so elegant and attractive that Tang Xia was impressed by his good acting.

”But what did that minister mean? Does he truly own a good capacity for liquor? Why don't I think so? How could he get drunk that easily last night if he truly owns a good capacity for liquor?”

As she thought so, she took a step sideways subconsciously. Tang Xia thought she could leave so that she need not hide anymore. Unexpectedly, there was a stone under her feet. Therefore, she twisted her ankle.

”Ah.” After experiencing what had happened the night before, Tang Xia's legs were weak. Besides, she stepped on a stone for the moment. So Tang Xia fell to the ground.

As a heavy falling sound came from behind the artificial hill, Chu Tiankuo and his ministers looked at the direction. After seeing the part of clothes from the artificial hill, Chu Tiankuo knew it was Tang Xia and shook his head, wearing a doting smile.

He stood up slowly and made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest. ”Sorry, my beloved woman is coming here for me. We can get together again another day.”

Hearing what Chu Tiankuo had said, the ministers knew who it was behind the artificial hill and left.

After the ministers left, Chu Tiankuo wore a smile and said, ”Don't hide anymore, come out.”

Tang Xia stood up with difficulties and came out from behind the artificial hill awkwardly, lowering her head.

After she came out, Chu Tiankuo wore a serious look immediately and held Tang Xia up.

It turned out that Tang Xia twisted her ankle.

”Tell me, what did they mean? Do you have a good capacity for liquor? How can your capacity for liquor be called as 'good'?” When Tang Xia was held up by Chu Tiankuo, she was a little frightened but did not revolt.

After she raised her head up and found Chu Tiankuo's look was a little serious, Tang Xia was worried and planned to change the subject. So she came up with that question.

As Chu Tiankuo knew exactly what she was thinking about, he just wore a smile after hearing her question and let it be.

Chu Tiankuo's not answering her question made Tang Xia snort.

After summoning the imperial physician, Chu Tiankuo knew that it was not a big deal as Tang Xia just twisted her ankle. But he was still a little worried.

So he left with the imperial physician to take a topical application of drug for her, leaving Tang Xia accompanied by Little Orange in the Imperial Study.

As Chu Tiankuo had left, it was a good chance for Tang Xia to inquire Little Orange. She asked with a smile, ”Little Orange, His Majesty is so toilsome as he must attend to numerous affairs every day. But he owns such a bad capacity for liquor as he got drunk that easily!”

As Little Orange was rather loyal to His Majesty, she felt angry although the negative comment was made by Her Grace.

But Tang Xia was the empress anyway, Little Orange froze for a while and answered, ”Your Grace, are you kidding me? He won't get drunk after drinking a lot!”

”What? He won't get drunk easily?”

”But he...” Then Tang Xia thought about what the minister had said in the Royal Garden.

And Tang Xia knew the whole story.

”Chu Tiankuo!”

After put on her shoes, Tang Xia ran to the Imperial Hospital quickly, squinting her eyes. And she just saw Chu Tiankuo come out with unguent in hand.

She hurried to stand in front of Chu Tiankuo, ”Chu Tiankuo, how dare you to fool with your 'big sister'!”

Chu Tiankuo froze for a while and knew what she meant. ”Big sister? My big sister tastes good!”

Then he wore a gentle smile, not blaming Tang Xia on calling him by his name.

But those imperial physicians, palace maid, and eunuchs regarded it so unbelievable that they all froze.

Although Tang Xia was still angry, she was forced to go back to the palace with Chu Tiankuo. And news that the empress shouted at the emperor spread over the whole palace.
