Chapter 116 The War (1/2)

”Stop!”

The Imperial Guards put the swords in front of them aggressively with faces of keeping strangers away.

Seeing the guards acting so vicious, Tang Xia felt angry in heart. When she was about to lose temper, she suddenly remembered that she was a woman who dressed as a man now. So it was normal for the guards that they didn't recognize her.

”Do you know who we are?” Hearing the guards' words, Lyuyou said unhappily by the side. As the palace maid of Her Grace, she never felt so aggrieved. Swinging up her sleeves, Lyuyou was about to debate with them.

”Lyuyou!” Tang Xia severely stopped Lyuyou.

They secretly disguised as men to inspect people this time. Their identities would be exposed if they tell the Imperial Guards who they were.

”But...” Lyuyou looked at Tang Xia in an aggrieved and confused look. She didn't understand why Tang Xia didn't let her show their identities. Weren't they in the palace now? Why couldn't she tell these people their identities? Although she didn't know Your Grace's idea, she could only shut up.

Lyuyou was so confused in her eyes and muttered. It seemed that she still wanted to say something. Tang Xia took a glance at her with her eyes full of warnings.

Just when they were in a dilemma.

The Imperial Guards, who had been facing them with their swords, kneeled on the ground, and reverently said, ”The diviner!”

Zui Linglong? What Tang Xia reacted firstly was ”shit”! How did she meet Zui Linglong again? Would she be so unlucky to be caught when she was secretly disguised?

Remembering that she was still dressed as a man, Tang Xia couldn't help but step back and get closer to Lyuyou, trying to hide behind by Lyuyou.

”Stand up! They are the friends I brought.” Zui Linglong said.

The Imperial Guards, who had treated them badly, smiled suddenly.

”It turns out to be the diviner's friends! I failed to recognize! I hope that you'll forgive me!” They said in a look of a kiss-ass.

Looking at their appearances, Tang Xia was very disgusted.

The Imperial Guards bowed to Zui Linglong and then left.

Now only Zui Linglong, Tang Xia and Lyuyou were here.

Although Tang Xia didn't really want to thank Zui Linglong, Zui Linglong helped her after all. She was not a person who did not know how to be grateful.

”Thank you!” Turning over her head, Tang Xia said unwillingly.

”You don't need to do that. I did not come to save you. But Your Grace stood at the gate of the palace in a man's look on such a dark night, what will the emperor react if he knows?” Zui Linglong looked at Tang Xia gloatingly.

Zui Linglong's words made Tang Xia angry immediately. Zui Linglong dared to threaten her! What would happen even if Chu Tiankuo knew that? She didn't care.

”It's none of your business!” Tang Xia retorted with a look of discomfort.

”Didn't the diviner wander here at night?” Tang Xia retorted without weakness. ”Hum! Didn't she hang around at night?”

”I was here to observe the night sky! Was Your Grace the same as me?”

”If the diviner has nothing to do, then I will go first. I will remember the thing today!” Tang Xia had no mood to talk with her. It was none of her business whether Zui Linglong watched the night sky or something else.

”I hope that Your Grace will not forget what I said before.”

When she left, Zui Linglong added.

Tang Xia staggered but was suddenly supported by Lyuyou by the side and then stood straight.

Tang Xia didn't pay attention to Zui Linglong and quickly returned to the palace with Lyuyou.

When she went back to the palace, she took off the man's clothes.

Zui Linglong's words and everything she saw today had been echoing in her mind.

Everything she saw today had been wandering in her mind. She couldn't forget those people who didn't have enough clothes and food. Were these all because of her? Was she really a woman who was a disaster for the country and the people? Did they become homeless all because of her?

The more she thought about it, the more annoying Tang Xia would be. She touched her tummy.

She silently felt the heartbeat of her child inside the tummy. ”Were these all because of her?” Tang Xia's heart was full of self-accusation.

The people, who didn't have enough clothes outside the palace, always appeared in front of her eyes and disturbed her thoughts.

Tang Xia turned her eyes to the lively screen by the side, and the screen was filled with the barrages, which were all warm messages.

”Don't be sad, Tangtang!”

”Tangtang, come on!!”

”Don't blame yourself! Cheer up!”

The entire screen was filled with the warm sentences of Fans.

Looking at their encouraging bullet screens, she felt warm and very comfortable.

The bullet screens of Fans made Tang Xia's original bad mood became bright gradually.

The original gloomy mood also became clearer gradually.

Three Days Later.

These days, there were more and more memorials about Tang Xia's bad influence for the country and the people.
