Chapter 120 The Crisis (1/2)
At the moment when Chu Tiankuo's troops and Nanmen Yi's troops were at war, Tang Xia, as a woman, could not do anything but to wait in the imperial harem.
After a while, Tang Xia did not hear any news about the war. So she decided to go to the city gate alone to check it out.
When she arrived where Chu Tiankuo's troops confronted with Nanmen Yi's troops, she found that the whole scene was intense. As Tang Xia did not know what to do, Zui Linglong found her and came up with a scheme after rolling her eyes.
She walked toward Tang Xia, stood by Tang Xia and said, ”Yo! How could you come here as you are pregnant, Your Grace? Chu Tiankuo will definitely be worried about you when he sees you.”
”It is none of your business!” Tang Xia said coldly without taking a look at Zui Linglong.
”How could you say that?” Zui Linglong wore a faint smile, ”Chu Tiankuo will be the only emperor before the war ends. But,”
Zui Linglong paused for a while and continued,
”Nanmen Yi is quite well-prepared today as he brings assassins with him so that Chu Tiankuo can be killed by them. I am afraid that the old dynasty will be replaced with a new one today!”
On hearing what Zui Linglong had said, Tang Xia became quite worried. Then she looked at Zui Linglong coldly and said,
”So you have planned all this? How scheming you are! However, I will never let your scheme work!”
As Zui Linglong noticed that Tang Xia was about to fall into her trap, she puckered in a smile and said with a proud look, ”What can you do as you are pregnant now? As far as I'm concerned, you will be the next one to be killed when Chu Tiankuo is dead!” Zui Linglong's arrogance was only for Tang Xia because no one could see her look due to the angle.
Looking at the corner that Zui Linglong pointed, Tang Xia came up with a plan. So she said to Zui Linglong with disdain, ”I'm pregnant, so what? I'm always better than you!”
After she finished her sentence, Tang Xia wanted to go and protect Chu Tiankuo from being harmed by those assassins. So she pulled up her dress and ran toward the direction Zui Linglong pointed.
Tang Xia did not notice that Zui Linglong's look turned terrible immediately and her hands clenched after she said she would always be better than Zui Linglong.
What Tang Xia did not notice was when she ran into the direction Zui Linglong pointed, Zui Linglong's angry look turned into a proud look showing that her scheme worked. Then she wore an evil smile and looked at Tang Xia with disdain.
”How dare you to compete with me!” Zui Linglong thought in disdain. Then she turned around and looked at Chu Tiankuo and Nanmen Yi who were in a fight, ”I wonder how Chu Tiankuo will feel when he sees Tang Xia.” Zui Linglong wanted to enjoy a good show and wore a meaning smile, ”Don't let me down!”
When Chu Tiankuo was in a fierce fight with Nanmen Yi, he suddenly glanced at Tang Xia in a corner.
And Chu Tiankuo found that the corner Tang Xia stood in was the exact direction of Nanmen Yi.
”What is wrong with Tang Xia? Why doesn't she stay in the palace harem? Why does she come here? Now that she is pregnant, how can she risk her life like this?” Chu Tiankuo thought fretfully.
At this moment, Zui Linglong ran toward Chu Tiankuo and said to him bewitchingly while he was looking at Tang Xia.
”Look at her, Your Majesty. Why did she run toward Nanmen Yi? Is she falling in love with him so that she wants to seek refuge with him?”
Chu Tiankuo took a glance at Zui Linglong and said to her fiercely, ”You bitch! Watch your tongue! I believe Tang Xia! She will never do that! Don't stir up trouble here!”
Hearing Chu Tiankuo's words, Zui Linglong scorned him in her mind. But she did not show her disdain and said to him,
”Who knows? It is quite hard to speculate what people think in such a dangerous situation. We don't know why Tang Xia ran toward Nanmen Yi.”
Zui Linglong paused for a while and continued,
”In my view, it seems that Tang Xia does not want the baby! You protect her so well that she has no chance to have a miscarriage.”
”So she wants to have a miscarriage in this malicious way, which can make people regard it as an accident and will not blame her.”
”Besides, she can preserve her reputation in this way. What a scheming woman!”
