I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity Chapter 102 Dirty Tricks

Lengmei thought that she would suffer much if she did not take the initiative.

For the moment, Tang Xia was in much favor with Chu Tiankuo as he, as the emperor could punish other imperial concubines, just because Tang Xia was unhappy.

Lengmei was quite aware that she should get rid of Tang Xia as soon as possible. Otherwise, Tang Xia would definitely be an obstacle who would prevent herself from being the empress.

After thinking it through, Lengmei thought the only person who could help her was Zui Linglong; She could find a way to get rid of Tang Xia for her. Otherwise, Lengmei could not sleep well.

So Lengmei, together with the other imperial concubines, went to ask Zui Linglong for help.

On this dark and windy night, the sky was overcast and the moon was covered by the clouds, which highlighted the gloom and mystery of the mansion. Only the flickering glow of lights indicated that there were people living here.

Zui Linglong's mansion was quite unique as there were pieces of red cloth with a copper bell attached, hanging in the long corridor. The copper bells in the faint light, highlighted the mystery of her mansion.

As the night breeze swept by, the copper bells clanged and the sounds could be heard all over the mansion as if the layered but dull sounds were spread out throughout.

As there were no servants who were on night patrol, the whole mansion looked dark and frightening.

But Lengmei and other imperial concubines were not afraid of this. They opened the back door secretly under the cloak of darkness and sneaked towards Zui Linglong's room.

Everything was quiet.

Lengmei and the other imperial concubines wore night clothing so that people would not notice them walking in the darkness.

When they got to Zui Linglong's room, Lengmei did not hurry to knock at the door but pierced the window paper with her finger, after coating it with her saliva.

A ray of faint light could be seen through the hole immediately. Lengmei looked into the room through the hole but could not find anyone in it.

Lengmei felt puzzled, "Shouldn't Zui Linglong be in her mansion now? Where could she be at this late hour?"

As Lengmei did not what to do, a flat voice came from the room.

"Since you are at my mansion this late, you must want to get some help from me. Why are you still standing there? Come in."

Lengmei was frightened for a moment; her heartbeat quickened but calmed down in a short time. "It turned out that Zui Linglong knows we are here, but she is hiding on purpose. It seems that Zui Linglong knows her stuff, or she would not have known so much."

So Lengmei and other imperial concubines got rid of their disguises and entered the room. Zui Linglong served them tea and sat calmly on the red-painted chair, her dark eyes showing no emotions at all.

"Have a seat."

After Lengmei and the other imperial concubines sat down, they did not beat around the bush,

"I came because I want you to help us get rid of one person so that I can gain His Majesty's favor."

The other imperial concubines nodded their heads. One could tell from their disgusted looks that they thought this person must be eliminated.

All the imperial concubines felt quite sulky because of the wrongs they had suffered today. How could they be fooled by such a small fry? So they took the risk of coming to Zui Linglong's mansion and asking her for help tonight.

Only she could help them.

Zui Linglong was quite aware of whom they wanted to get rid of. Who had caused such utter confusion as to make everybody nervous?

Only this woman called Tang Xia who had gained His Majesty's favor. How could she be so lucky that His Majesty's love for her was unprecedented?

It was no wonder that the other imperial concubines were so pissed off. Tang Xia was so high-profiled that she was regarded as an eyesore by the other imperial concubines.

Lengmei noticed that Zui Linglong was thinking and she knew that Zui Linglong could find a way to get rid of Tang Xia for her. She hated Tang Xia so much that she could not help asking,

"Can you find a way, Zui Linglong? Please tell me."

Zui Linglong did have a solution, but she did not say it out immediately. Instead, she kept quiet for a moment until Lengmei and the other imperial concubines could not wait anymore and asked impatiently.

"Just tell us the solution. We are willing to try anything."

Zui Linglong had no choice but to say,

"I do have a solution. The best way to get rid of her is to let His Majesty forsake her. Without the emperor's protection, it will be quite easy to get rid of her. So the most difficult part for you is His Majesty."

After hearing Zui Linglong's words, the imperial concubines present were all puzzled and did not know what they should do exactly.

What did 'let His Majesty forsake her' mean? His Majesty was the emperor, how could it possible to control his mind to make him forsake Tang Xia?

All the imperial concubines had unhappy looks on their faces.

When she saw this, Zui Linglong explained to them immediately.

"Don't worry. It is quite simple as long as I explain it to you."

"What we should do is to let His Majesty think that Tang Xia does not like him. Think about it, how can His Majesty tolerate a woman not liking him? Such a thing will definitely irritate him so that it will be easy to get rid of Tang Xia later."

All the imperial concubines present, smiled right away as they knew the meaning of Zui Linglong's words.

Indeed, as long as His Majesty thought that Tang Xia did not like him, His Majesty must be pissed off. How could he let such a thing happen?

It was truly a good way.

But how would they let His Majesty believe that Tang Xia did not like him? It was a little tricky.

"So what should we do to let His Majesty believe that Tang Xia does not like him? It is a bit difficult."

However, Zui Linglong acted like she had a well-thought-out plan without any trace of puzzlement. Her composed eyes and crooked mouth indicated that she had a surefire way.

"Don't worry. I have a card up my sleeve."

"What is it? Let us know so that we can prepare and help you."

Zui Linglong shook her head mysteriously. Then she looked at the flickering candlelight and said,

"You need to do nothing. The only thing you can do is to wait."

The imperial concubines wanted to say more. But the moment they saw the flickering fire with its somewhat powerful force in Zui Linglong's eyes, they held back their questions and left as quietly as they came.

Everything was at peace as if nothing had happened. But it was the calm before the storm. A good show could be expected.

Above all, Zui Linglong felt the opportunity was coming close so that the show would start soon.

When Tang Xia was sleeping deeply at night, she sneezed suddenly and said with sleepy eyes,

"Who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

Several days later, a prince from Country of Nanmen would come to the Country of Xia. Tang Xia learned secretly that he was a super handsome guy,

He was as charismatic as the male celebrity in her modern time. And above all, the prince was a handsome guy without the help of plastic surgery. Tang Xia would receive the prince on behalf of her country.

Tang Xia felt quite satisfied at the thought of this and thanked Chu Tiankuo for giving her such a good chance to appreciate the prince's charm.

On that day, Tang Xia got up early to let her maid freshen her up. What's more, she wore a pink embroidered long robe with an ornate hairpin so that crisp and pleasant sounds would linger in the ears when she walked.

Then she hurriedly asked her maid whether she looked beautiful. After getting a positive answer, Tang Xia who was surrounded by people, went to receive the prince from Country Nanmen—Nanmen Yi.

When Tang Xia saw Nanmen Yi in person, she was almost shocked by his glamor as she did not expect that he would be so handsome. It was truly like the old saying that 'the beauty in the high places is like jade, while that of a handsome young man is unmatched in the world'.

What a charismatic young man! He was like the Adonis in the picture.

His black hair was held up by a jade crown while his skin was as fair as snow and his eyes were as shiny as stars. But his charisma was not the high-profiled type.

Instead, he had an air of elegance and tenderness, which made him as mild as a painting which stayed there quietly.

Today, Nanmen Yi wore white fancy clothes with only some patterns of pine and bamboo. There were no other ornaments on him, except for one jade pendant attached to his waist.

Tang Xia became his fan immediately. And her reasoning refrained her from carrying out any indiscreet behavior.

"You must feel exhausted from a long journey. Go and freshen up and have a good rest."

However, Nanmen Yi refused Tang Xia's suggestion politely. Faint as his smile was, Tang Xia regarded it as beautiful as the shiny star.

"I come here shouldering the responsibility for our country, so I dare not have a rest. It will be better to start my mission soon."

Tang Xia became more impressed by him, "What a responsible man!"

"Could you tell me what your important task is?"

Nanmen Yi smiled.

"Of course. My father told me to come to the Country of Xia so that I can ask Zui Linglong to divine the fortune of our country. So I dare not have a rest as I should put our national interests first."

Then Tang Xia had someone invite Zui Linglong. Zui Linglong came in a short time, and Nanmen Yi made a gesture indicating 'please' and said to her.

"Could you please divine the fortune of our country? My father has always been concerned about it so I dare not forget that. Please tell me the results after you divine the fortune of our country."

After Zui Linglong nodded, Nanmen Yi said.

"Let's start the divination."
