Tang Xia went to the altar immediately as the key to this matter was Lengmei. If Lengmei insisted that her baby was killed by her, it would be better for Tang Xia to take action.

Tang Xia could not let Lengmei always occupy a dominant position, so she already had some plans in her mind. After all, she would deal with Lengmei and must be well prepared.

After Tang Xia got to the altar, what she saw was Lengmei’s delicate look. And Lengmei knelt on the ground ruefully at the sight of Tang Xia. If Tang Xia did not know who Lengmei really was, she would feel quite sorry for Lengmei as people always sympathized the weak.

“Oh, Lengmei, are you pretending to be poor for me? I don’t want to hear your pathetic talking, just save it.” Tang Xia said and turned her back to Lengmei as she came here to solve the problem.

Lengmei froze for a while after hearing what Tang Xia had said. She pretended to be poor as she saw someone come. However, she never thought it would be Tang Xia.

So Lengmei stood up immediately as she gained the upper hand and it was unnecessary for her to kneel down to Tang Xia.

“Lengmei, tell me. Why are you doing so? It was you who killed my own baby. How could you frame me so that people now regard me as vicious?

You will lose His Majesty’s trust by doing so. There is no need to do such a thing. Everyone will desire to kill you when the truth comes to light!”

After hearing what Tang Xia had said, Lengmei sneered. “How can I not know that? But if I admit my guilt, I cannot be buried with Chu Tiankuo after a hundred years. Why not confuse right and wrong so that I can still have hope?”

“Stop pretending to be sad! I will be solely responsible for what I have done. Don’t you cry crocodile tears!” Lengmei hated it best when Tang Xia acted like this. She knew what she had done was wrong, but she did not need Tang Xia’s sympathy.

Tang Xia knew that Lengmei would not listen to her according to her reaction, but Tang Xia was curious why Lengmei wanted to doom her to death. After all, it was Tang Xia who had a miscarriage because of Lengmei. What obsessiveness did Lengmei own?

After pondering for a while, Tang Xia thought of one person—Chu Tiankuo, the emperor. There had been something wrong about Lengmei since she was sent to the altar. And Lengmei looked at her with hatred, which made Tang Xia more convinced of her conjecture.

“Lengmei, are you having a crush on Chu Tiankuo? Your behavior is too obvious.” Tang Xia walked to Lengmei slowly and said in a quite low voice, which would not get others’ attention.

“Ha-ha, Tang Xia, I think you should worry more about yourself. You will be dead because of this matter.

All the people are in favor of me. It is you who is regarded to be so vicious that everyone wants to kill you! Tang Xia, you are screwed this time!”

Lengmei said in such a determined voice, leaving no chance for Tang Xia to negotiate with her. Hence, Tang Xia understood immediately that

her guessing was right. Tang Xia did not stay there as she knew the reason why Lengmei did so. And it was time to solve the problem while Lengmei could not change her status for the present.

Tang Xia walked down from the altar slowly with a smile. And she thought, “Lengmei just wants me to be abandoned by others. Otherwise, it will be quite satisfying for her as I’m no longer the empress.”

After Tang Xia got back to her palace, she took action immediately. Tang Xia sent Lyuyou to tell those she had helped about everything with the support of her fans.

As people were in favor of Lengmei, Tang Xia needed to accumulate her own connection.

Lyuyou quickly understood what Tang Xia was going to do, so she took action immediately. This matter was so important that it must be done only by Lyuyou.

If someone who wanted to doom Tang Xia to death was sent to do such a thing, Tang Xia would lose any chance of winning. Tang Xia was quite aware of that, so she sent Lyuyou to do it at once.

After Lyuyou left, Tang Xia felt ill at ease. Although she already had a plan, the key to its implementation lay in Lyuyou.

Otherwise, Tang Xia would be framed to death by Lengmei. As she thought so, Tang Xia felt somewhat nervous. But she was aware of the fact that everyone was paying attention to her.

What she could do now for her own good was to stay calm so that Lyuyou’s whereabouts would not be discovered.

As Tang Xia could only rely on herself, she walked into her room and drank a cup of tea after pondering for a while.

“Someone, close the door. The sunshine is so strong that I cannot have a good rest.”

After Tang Xia finished her sentence, a palace maid closed the door immediately. Such odd behaviors could attract those people’s attention, which would be good for Lyuyou to accomplish her mission.

Tang Xia was trying to behave oddly for the whole night.

Tang Xia was tormenting her palace maids in different ways for the night, which made everyone pay attention to her.

It was not until at dawn that Lyuyou came back. Then Lyuyou came into Tang Xia’s room immediately.

Tang Xia stood up at once and asked Lyuyou, “How is it? Is everything going well? Is there any problem?

Did you tell every one of those I have helped?” Tang Xia was a little impatient as it concerned her life. She could not think little of it.

“Your Grace, I have done everything you told me. We are all set now.”

Then Lyuyou raised her head as if she had something else to tell Tang Xia. And Tang Xia understood immediately that Lyuyou wanted to have a private conversation with her.

Hence, Tang Xia ordered other palace maids. “You may leave now. It is enough that Lyuyou is here.”

Other palace maids obeyed and left, leaving Lyuyou and Tang Xia in the large palace. After Lyuyou confirmed that there was no one else, she closed the door of the palace.

“Your Grace, I did accomplish the task. But there is something strange.

One palace maid stopped me. When asked who her master was, she told me it was Lengmei. But I found something that definitely belonged to Zui Linglong on her.”

Then Lyuyou raised her head gingerly and looked at Tang Xia as what she said was no laughing matter. It would be bad for her if Tang Xia did not trust her anymore.

Zui Linglong did not do anything to harm Tang Xia, which made Lyuyou more convinced that Zui Linglong was quite cunning and scheming.

After hearing what Lyuyou had said, Tang Xia contemplated for a while, “Zui Linglong did not show her hostility,

but I cannot be sure that she did not do something to harm me secretly. In view of this situation, I should be on the alert of her framing me up.”

“Lyuyou, go ahead.”

“Your Grace, as far as I’m concerned, no matter who that palace maid’s master is, we should be on the alert to Zui Linglong.

And I prefer to think that it is Zui Linglong who dominates all. Lengmei is used by her as a tool.”

After Lyuyou finished her sentence, she knelt on the ground as such thing cannot be concluded by a palace maid. Tang Xia helped Lyuyou up and remained silent because she needed to ponder on all these things.

However, someone came after a while, asking Tang Xia to go to the altar. And Tang Xia invited the palace maid in immediately.

That palace maid came into the room in a minute and knelt on the ground at once,

“Your Grace, His Majesty needs you to go to the altar right away to confront with Lengmei face to face,” the palace maid said in terror.

As Tang Xia noticed the palace maid’s reaction, Tang Xia knew that her behaviors the night before had spread everywhere in the palace. Hence, Tang Xia replied to the palace maid and decided to go check it out with the thought that Chu Tiankuo seemed to have found some proofs of her innocence.

After Tang Xia changed her clothes, she decided to go to the altar with Lyuyou with the hope that everything would happen as she planned.

“Let’s go and check it out.”
