Zui Linglong knew that Lengmei must have not expected this when she saw Lengmei’s overreaction. Lengmei was obviously unprepared for her sarcasm.

Zui Linglong was very satisfied with Lengmei’s reaction at this time and Lengmei had begun to fall into tension. Seeing Lengmei’s expression, Zui Linglong could not help hooking up the corners of her mouth and said with a sneer,

“Help, please be soberer. And please use your mind to think about that, Bai Bulun helped you today just because he sympathized the pitiful image you pretended in front of the emperor. He will never stand by you.”

“Compared with you, a humble imperial concubine who does not deserve mentioning, of course, Bai Bulun is more partial to Chu Tiankuo. At the very least, do you know the purpose of Bai Bulun’s this visit?”

“Doesn’t he come to negotiate for peace with us?” Lengmei was still very puzzled with Zui Linglong’s previous foreshadowing and still answered her questions honestly.

“Bai Bulun is only a humble envoy of the frontier tribe. Negotiating for peace is the order from the frontier leader, so what can he do even if he is dissatisfied with the emperor? Negotiations will succeed eventually.”

“What’s more, now both sides are still on the stage of the conflict, and our strength is far greater than the frontier’s. Bai Bulun is a smart and understanding person, so he will surely know how important it is for them to negotiate for peace with us.”

“Now he stands up for you just because of his momentary impulse. The emperor has already shown him his determination to severely punish Tang Xia and his sincerity to the frontier areas. According to Bai Bulun’s character, he will surely try his best to negotiate for peace with us in the future.”

“And you, there is no meaning to him at all. Maybe Bai Bulun will even nicer to Tang Xia after that.”

“Whether the people emperor loves or the people around Chu Tiankuo that can talk to him, the person who can help Bai Bulun negotiate for peace successfully will be her, Tang Xia, but not you. Therefore, you have no value for Bai Bulun.”

Hearing Zui Linglong’s words, Lengmei really began to worry about her situation at this time. Although she could not fully understand what Zui Linglong really meant, she still knew that Bai Bulun would not stand up for her all the time.

Even if the negotiation was successful at the end, she might land herself in serious trouble after Bai Bulun knew her true colors. She thought she had found a backer, but actually, she found an enemy for herself again.

But according to Lengmei’s haughty and obstinate character, how could she admit her failings to Zui Linglong, an enigmatic diviner? In order to keep her face and let others think that she won this “war”, she bit the bullet and said,

“So what? Bai Bulun did say it today and he helped me exactly, at least he must be on my side!”

After Lengmei finished, she also glanced at Zui Linglong disdainfully. Zui Linglong exposed her plot in the name of visiting her and satirized her failure, which really made her lose face. Thus, she could only keep her neck up to show her how powerful she was.

Zui Linglong kept silence. She knew that Lengmei had already been scared when she saw panic in Lengmei’s eyes with her eyes which were good at penetrating. Lengmei would then continue to plan her own road.

Zui Linglong came here in the name of visiting Lengmei. Now she had been in Lengmei’s palace for a while and had already achieved her purpose.

Hence, she took up the cup of tea, which Lengmei ordered a servant to provide for her and place on the sandalwood table, and took a few sips. Then she stood up and was ready to leave.

“Forget it! I just come to visit you. Since you look well, I will go back first.” Then Zui Linglong went out of the room.

Lengmei didn’t salute and say anything more. She just saw Zui Linglong with a complicated look. The latter, who was still dressed in white, held a handkerchief, twisted her waist and disappeared in the gate of the courtyard.

Lengmei was really worried about her own situation at this time for Zui Linglong’s words made her feel very uneasy. She must now continue to plan ahead to keep herself safe.

Lengmei thought Bai Bulun would stand up for her and Chu Tiankuo would definitely keep his words because he had promised Bai Bulun to punish Tang Xia severely.

But now, after hearing Zui Linglong’s judgment, gradually, she began to understand that Chu Tiankuo said words to punish Tang Xia, but maybe he just wanted to stabilize Bai Bulun’s mind of negotiating for peace and let Bai Bulun feel his sincerity.

As for how to punish Tang Xia, or whether he would punish Tang Xia on earth, it was another story.

Lengmei suddenly realized how ignorant she was. She thought her strategy had worked, but obviously not. On the contrary, she would end in failure again.

The only way she could think of now was to continue to deal with Chu Tiankuo so that she could continue to let the unsuspecting people think what she had done wrong was correct.

If she wanted others to continue to believe her, she must adopt a tough stance. What she needed most now was to let Chu Tiankuo believe her. Then court officials and Bai Bulun would also continue to believe her.

If Chu Tiankuo and Bai Bulun negotiated successfully, they still could maintain an honest and kind impression on her. Then she could be out of danger.

After a bit of brainstorming, finally, Lengmei was determined to continue to compel to ask Chu Tiankuo. She would insist that she was indeed pregnant and her child was killed by Tang Xia so that she could continue to pressure Chu Tiankuo and ask for justice.

Lengmei had almost finished her planning. Then she stood up and proceeded to Chu Tiankuo’s palace.

At this time, Chu Tiankuo was preparing to go out to visit a minister and servants were dressing for him. At this moment, someone came in suddenly and said that Leng imperial concubine had come.

Chu Tiankuo was about to lose patience with Lengmei. If it were not because her father was a loyal minister in the court, he would not spare her life and let her, a sinister and ruthless woman, frame others again and again in the palace.

As soon as he heard Lengmei’s name, Chu Tiankuo did not hesitate to say, “I will not see her and send her back. Just tell her I am tired and need to have a rest.”

After a while, he only heard the noise in the courtyard and the voice of Lengmei was getting closer, “Don’t stop me. I need to see my emperor!”

“Didn’t I say I won’t see you? Who let you in?” Chu Tiankuo roared angrily.

“My emperor, Concubine Leng insisted on seeing you and we can’t stop her.” The servant rushed to kneel down injuredly to beg for the emperor’s forgiveness.

Chu Tiankuo of course knew Lengmei’s character and identity. If she insisted on coming, no one could stop her. Then he told the servants to go out.

Lengmei rushed down to meet Chu Tiankuo and said, “Your majesty!”

“Don’t put on an act and speak up quickly. I really have no time to delay,” Chu Tiankuo said coldly. Then he turned back and sat on the throne in the middle of the hall.

“My emperor, you need to know how important this child is to me. I am really very sad. He is our flesh and blood! He is the prince, the future crown prince!”

Lengmei pretended to rage and almost be out of control as soon as she came up and cried to Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo had already taken this matter to heart. Now Lengmei was insatiable and more excessive, which made him very angry.

“My emperor, today I need to fight for justice anyway! In the morning, Bai Bulun spoke for me and I thought you would do what you said…”

Before Lengmei finished, Chu Tiankuo interrupted,”Enough! Are you through? You made a mistake but still get it worse here. Do you think I am a fool? And you are not pregnant at all. Don’t you think I know that?”

“My emperor, I really have your baby! How can you say that about me?” Although Lengmei had already been very guilty at this time, she could not succumb resolutely. Once she acknowledged, what she did before would break down and she would die without doubt.

“You lied that you were pregnant in order to frame Tang Xia. Do you think I don’t know that? I did not punish you just for your father’s sake. If you don’t cherish it, then don’t blame me for being rude!”

Lengmei insisted and would not succumb resolutely. She saw that Chu Tiankuo would not believe her at all and she knew it was of no help to pretend to be innocent in this way, so she had to be hard.

“Chu Tiankuo! I had you baby but you took it carelessly! Do you believe that I will expose this scandal immediately so that you can’t negotiate successfully and can’t be the king of the country?”

“Ah, yes, of course, the most important thing is to let Tang Xia come to no good!”

Chu Tiankuo could have nothing but Tang Xia. Whatever happened, he would never let Lengmei attack Tang Xia again. But how could he bear Lengmei saying such words in a flustered and exasperated way and threatening him?

Listening these words, Chu Tiankuo stood up immediately and rushed to the front of Lengmei. He lifted his hand, grabbed Lengmei’s neck hard, and ground out, “Lengmei, I give you one last warning. I advise you to be sensible and end this farce as soon as possible, otherwise, you will die very miserably!”

Chu Tiankuo had lost his patience at this time and his angry eyes had been covered with red blood shot. He looked angry, which made Lengmei tremble with fear. She had never seen Chu Tiankuo, who looked so angry. She was really terrified.

Chu Tiankuo slammed her hands very hard and Lengmei desperately wanted to get rid of Chu Tiankuo’s hands, but powerless. She had already been a bit breathless but she did not intend to give up at all.

Then Chu Tiankuo loosened his hands. Lengmei couldn’t help stepping back because she was out of breath and paralyzed. She coughed and did not intend to end it.

How could Lengmei, such a face-saving person, end up with her own failure? Absolutely impossible!

Moreover, the person she wanted to deal with was Tang Xia, her biggest enemy. If she gave up, everything would be over. She must end Tang Xia first, and would not succumb resolutely.

Lengmei knew that she must insist to let Chu Tiankuo and everyone believe her.

Although Chu Tiankuo would not believe her play anyway, those who did not know the truth would must be confused by her firmness.

“Ahem, I don’t know what you are talking about, Tiankuo. I haven’t done anything wrong. You don’t believe me and it is your problem. But I was indeed aborted by Tang Xia. He is also your child. I just want you to fight for justice for me!”

Chu Tiankuo looked at this shameless and vicious woman in front of him, sneered and turned away to leave, leaving Lengmei, who had not yet calmed down, in the big hall.
