Tang Xia was wearing a bright yellow long dress, and her beautiful little face looked solemn. Her jade hand was holding a yellow cloth, which was undoubtedly the imperial edict.

“I am here to announce the imperial edict. All of you, kneel down!” Tang Xia’s melodious voice sounded with the momentum that people had to surrender. Hearing that there was an imperial edict, people in the execution ground all knelt to the ground.

Tang Xia proudly stood there, looking at the people kneeling under her. She spread out the imperial edict and read loudly, “By the mandate of heaven, the emperor decreed hereby that the case of Helian Jue has so many doubts and that he can be temporarily exempted from the death sentence and will be kept in prison until the truth is found out and a conclusion is made. That’s all.”

“Long live! His Majesty.” The imperial envoy of the execution ground wiped off his cold sweat and felt very confused. The person who wanted to kill Helian Jue before was His Majesty. Why did the Empress have another imperial edict to absolve him?

However, this imperial edict had been made and he could not say anything. He took over the imperial edict from Tang Xia and had a clear look at it. After making sure that there was a mark of the imperial jade seal, he immediately shed cold sweats and said, “Why haven’t you let him go?”

Hearing his words, a guard quickly took out the key and unlocked Helian Jue’s chains. Helian Jue thought that he was going to die and when Tang Xia suddenly appeared, he was only surprised.

Then he understood that Tang Xia was only worried that the prophecy of the Xingyue Tower would come true, so she took risks. This imperial edict was probably a fake one. Even if Helian Jue didn’t understand Chu Tiankuo’s temper, he knew that when Chu Tiankuo wanted to kill someone, the man could not easily escape.

Moreover, the woman Helian Jue touched was the one Chu Tiankuo loved. Sure enough, Tang Xia really cared about the safety of Chu Tiankuo. Tang Xia indeed loved him!

Tang Xia thought she would save Helian Jue very smoothly. After all, this was the final step. After Helian Jue left the execution ground, she could figure out something. But she didn’t expect that Chu Tiankuo did not come, but Lengmei did!

“Wait, the imperial edict in your hand is fake!” Lengmei’s words caused a commotion. The common people underneath and even officers all turned to look at the person who just arrived. Then the crowd began to discuss.

Tang Xia’s heart missed a beat and she sighed inwardly, “Damn!” At this time, Lengmei came out to make trouble, and if Chu Tiankuo knew about it, it would not be so easy for her to save Helian Jue.

“Are you saying that the imperial edict is a fake one? How can you know it must be false?” Tang Xia asked back and tried to calm down. However, she still felt worried.

Helian Jue blankly looked at Lengmei who showed up suddenly. There was severe killing intent in his eyes. Almost, he could leave here safely, but at this time, a fool popped up and ruined this.

The imperial envoy underneath couldn’t sit still. He asked carefully, “Your Grace, what is going on here?” He wished to be invisible, but when he thought that if the imperial edict in the Queen’s hands was really a fake one…

According to the emperor’s temperament, he must be implicated. He had to be cautious. Otherwise, one mistake would kill him.

“He-he, do I have to ask? The imperial edict in the Queen’s hand is not from His Majesty. You faked it to save your old lover!” Lengmei seemed to have a lot of things to say and gave another huge gossip.

Hearing this, the people began pointing at Tang Xia. They strangely looked at Tang Xia and believed in Lengmei’s words. Although Tang Xia was calm inside, she felt anxious and worried.

She was anxious because if she could not save Helian Jue in time, he would not survive today; she was worried because if Chu Tiankuo really came to the execution ground, then all the efforts she had done before were in vain!

“Nonsense! Lengmei, you said that I faked the edict, what evidence do you have?” Tang Xia directly asked her for the evidence, but Lengmei sneered and retorted ironically.

“Yue Ji, His Majesty loves you, but you repeatedly pleaded for Helian Jue. It is a known thing in the palace!”

“In addition, Yue Ji, you said that this was His Majesty’s edict, but why did you come to announce it personally?” Lengmei’s words sounded sharp, and she had grasped a significant flaw.

They both sounded reasonable and the air became tense. Tang Xia was not willing to show weakness, so she insisted she was the right one and said, “Lengmei, you are seeking revenge for yourself and doubting the emperor’s will. Lengmei, do you think how I, Yue Ji got the imperial jade seal?”

“Besides, from what you said, you seemed familiar with my itinerary. Have… you kept an eye on me? His Majesty is busy all day long, and I feel sorry, so I take this job. Lengmei, are you conjecturing his decision? Hmm?”

Fortunately, she had watched a lot of TV series about palace fight, and they finally became useful. Lengmei gnashed her teeth, but she had to suppress her anger and resentment against Tang Xia. This was a critical moment to take down Tang Xia and she could not let it go.

“Yue Ji, I don’t dare to question the emperor’s will. That’s a big crime and I cannot afford it! How about this? Let’s go back to see the emperor with the imperial edict and he will tell us who is lying.” Lengmei seemingly offered a good idea.

Tang Xia faked edict and stamped the imperial seal on it without being known by Chu Tiankuo. If Chu Tiankuo knew it at this moment, not only Helian Jue but also she would be punished for this. More seriously, she and Helian Jue would not survive tomorrow.

“Your Grace, what’s wrong with you? As long as we go to meet His Majesty and let him see the edict, you will be clean! Do you dare to do that? Or you are feeling guilty?” Lengmei wanted to pinch Tang Xia’s chin, but the latter avoided.

Tang Xia felt disgusted and patted the sleeves touched by Lengmei. She said in dislike, “Some people have very smelly mouths, and their brains are also sick. I should keep far away from them, in case I will be infected!”

“You… you dare to say that I am smelly!” Lengmei said exasperatedly, and she had made up her mind to eliminate Tang Xia.

At this time, the netizens on the screen saw that Lengmei wanted Chu Tiankuo to check the edict, and they blew up.

[Fan] Hear Wind and Rain at Night: Why does the bitch Lengmei always want to bully Tang Xia?!

[Fan] Time Will Tell: Tang Xia looks so handsome. I decide to be her fan. She is my idol. Please beat the bitch!

[Fan] Axiba: Lengmei is too treacherous! If I met her, I must drown her with a mouthful of salt soda!

…

An uproar rose on the bullet screen and Tang Xia instantly gained a large number of fans with her handsome action, but Tang Xia still did not know about it. She was arguing with Lengmei and both of them refused to give in. The situation was in tension.

“Hey… Lengmei, you are too self-righteous!” Tang Xia said sarcastically. Her aversion and irony made Lengmei angry.

“Yue Ji, what do you mean by this? I don’t understand.” Lengmei pretended to be confused and Tang Xia almost applauded for her. Tang Xia was not an easily-bullied woman. She had to refute Lengmei to pay back for her mean heart!

Tang Xia’s eyes turned cold and the temperature around was lowered.

“Since you don’t understand, let me tell you! I’m the Queen, and you are just a little imperial concubine. How dare you talk to me like this? This time, I just crushed your chin as a punishment, next time it will not be simple like this, Lengmei.”

Tang Xia laughed innocently as if it was reasonable that she crushed her chin. Faced with her imposing manner, People didn’t dare to look straight at her. Lengmei felt chill for no reason and could not help but shrink her body.

Tang Xia threw Lengmei disgustingly and straightened up. She looked down at her and said, “The emperor’s edict has nothing to do with you. What’s more, did the emperor need to inform you in advance that he gave me an imperial edict? Tell me, do you deserve it?”

“You go too far! It is obvious that you faked an edict at first. When I said we should confront the emperor, you did not dare to go. What do you want to do?” Lengmei did not give up, but when she saw Tang Xia’s eyes, she felt scared.

However, thinking that Tang Xia didn’t dare to hurt her in public, Lengmei stood up with the help of her maid and looked at Tang Xia. She insisted on receiving an explanation from Tang Xia.

“Oh, what qualifications do you have to come here to question me?” Tang Xia sounded provocative and Lengmei had been out of rage. She wanted to rush over to have a fight with Tang Xia like a shrew.

Tang Xia did not expect that she would suddenly come up, and Helian Jue did not know what to do all the way. He was a man and he could not be like a woman to go forward!

He really couldn’t do it. He watched the two women tussling together and didn’t want to go forward to stop them because they would injure him. As for the common people and the imperial envoy, they were all shocked on watching this.

To be exact, Lengmei was crazily beating Tang Xia, and Tang Xia just made a defense. The execution ground was chaotic and Lengmei’s scolding had stunned everyone. Tang Xia looked at Lengmei who was like a mad woman as the standoff could not be ended.

The angry Lengmei was powerful and left a few scratches on Tang Xia’s arms. However, compared with confounded Lengmei, Tang Xia was much better. The common people underneath felt like they were watching big movies.

The imperial envoy finally realized that the situation went wrong and ordered their maids to go forward and separate their masters. When they finally separated, Lengmei was badly hurt while Tang Xia was only slightly injured.

At this time, a beautiful woman in silver clothes appeared in midair and shouted a word, “Stop!”
