I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity Chapter 71 Visit the Sick Tang Xia

As Lyuyou came with Tang Xia's cloak, she heard someone call for help faintly, hurried to check it out, and found that it was Tang Xia.

After inhaling some water, Tang Xia flopped about in the river. When she was quite terrified, Tang Xia finally saw someone coming.

"It is Lyuyou!" Tang Xia was so moved as the hope was reignited in her heart. So she shouted, "Lyuyou, help! Help me!"

Lyuyou rushed to the water's edge hurriedly. "Your Grace, hang... hang on! I'll have someone help you soon."

Lyuyou was so terrified that she went limp and fell to the main road. She shouted in a trembling voice, "Help! Someone! Help!"

Seeing the palace lanterns at a short distance, Lyuyou knew there were many people and shouted in a trembling voice. "Someone! Help! The empress fell into the water!"

Servants were attracted by Lyuyou's voice and all jumped into the water like dumplings into the pot. They saved Tang Xia finally.

"Kekeke..." Tang Xia gasped for breath and did not come to her senses. At this moment, her face was as white as snow while she shivered with coldness.

Then Tang Xia turned her head away, fell into Lyuyou's arms, and started to cry soundlessly.

"It is too terrifying! Too terrifying! I thought I would definitely die!"

"Your Grace, Don't scare me! If something happens to you, I will kill myself to atone for my crime." Lyuyou held Tang Xia in her arms tightly with tears in her pale face.

The servants all knelt on the ground around Tang Xia, looking terrified. They murmured inwardly, "What will happen next? I hope that I won't be involved in this."

After a while, one bold palace maid picked up the cloak dropped accidentally by Lyuyou and draped it over the empress's shoulders, stammering, "Your Grace, take care of yourself. You'd better go back to your palace and summon the imperial physician for your own good!"

"Right! She's right! Your Grace, let's go back to your palace soon, I'll tell His Majesty about it now." Lyuyou just noticed that Tang Xia was wet all over and tapped on her own chest, "How terrifying!"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Let's go back to my palace first," Tang Xia said in a trembling voice and stood up by Lyuyou's arm.

However, the cold and thick dress stuck to her closely, making Tang Xia tremble. Besides, Tang Xia just fell into the water, so she did not want to stay in this place at all.

What a muddle was in the palace this night would not be mentioned here.

The next day, news of Tang Xia falling into the water spread all over the palace.

There were different versions of scandals and slanderous gossip about Tang Xia in the palace. Some said it was Tang Xia's ruse of self-injury to win her confidence, as she envied Zui Linglong, who became one of the imperial concubines. Some people said Tang Xia offended someone. Others said there was a drowning ghost who hid in the water in order to kill people...

In a word, slanderous gossip was all over the palace.

As no one bothered her with the gossip, Tang Xia was recuperating herself at ease in her palace. But Lyuyou wanted to rip off the mouths of those who spread scandals.

"Alas! My poor queen, who just fell into the water, has become the talk of the town."

"And His Majesty," Lyuyou thought of this and sighed, "He just hurried here and stayed for a while before he left."

While Lyuyou could not help defending Tang Xia against an injustice, Tang Xia just lowered her head with a lonely look and told them not to talk too much about it.

Luckily, it could be seen from His Majesty's worried face that he loved Tang Xia very much. So he hurried here at his wedding night and asked about her health condition.

Lyuyou let out a sigh, not understanding what His Majesty was thinking.

"Lyuyou!" Tang Xia called.

"Lyuyou, what's in your mind? I've called you several times," Tang Xia said while frowning.

"Never mind. I am just thinking what I should order the imperial kitchen to cook for you. As you just fell into the water, you should eat something good for your health." Lyuyou replied immediately.

"There is no need for that. I have no appetite. A bowl of plain porridge is fine," Tang Xia said weakly.

"Your Grace, Concubine Xiao and Concubine Leng ask to meet you," the little palace maid said.

"Concubine Xiao?" Tang Xia asked with a doubtful look, not knowing who she was.

"Your Grace, Concubine Xiao is the female immortal who was conferred by His Majesty yesterday." Lyuyou reminded Tang Xia quietly.

"Oh, let them in." Tang Xia's heart jolted as she regarded it ridiculous that she felt grieved. Then she shook her head and braced herself up.

"As Chu Tiankuo owns so many imperial concubines, I will be drowned with jealousy if I envy everyone who visits me."

Tang Xia let Lyuyou prink for her in order to cover up the paleness and weakness of her face. Then she sat up leaning against the bed.

"I pay my respects to you, Your Grace. May the empress live a thousand years." Zui Linglong stood straight and said with dignity, wearing a cool look.

"Rise." Tang Xia said gently and kept her eyes half-closed, making it hard to tell what she was thinking

"I heard that you fell into the water accidentally last night, so I pay a visit to you today. But why did you fall into the water at my wedding night? Hm, is it a coincidence?"

Zui Linglong looked directly at Tang Xia domineeringly as if she came to question her instead of visiting her.

Tang Xia heard it clearly that Zui Linglong said in a declarative tone. "Is she mocking me? Does she think that I did it on purpose so that His Majesty could come to my palace?"

Tang Xia's sneer in her mind gradually appeared in her face. Then she looked at Zui Linglong who dressed up like a dowager with a faint smile, "Do you regard me as a sick cat?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about. Are you questioning my experience?"

"Hha, I'm just a little curious. What a coincidence! Why didn't you stay in your palace but go out at my wedding night?

If you walked right, how could you fall into the water? Didn't you bring your maid with you?"

Zui Linglong sat on the chair looking at Tang Xia at ease.

"How dare you! What do you mean by saying so?! You're just one of the imperial concubines, how could you question the empress!" Lyuyou thought that Zui Linglong was unbridled and could not stand her any more.

"How could she be so unbridled? Is it because His Majesty backs her up?" Lyuyou thought.

"What the hell are you? How dare you scold me! Humph! I'm talking with the queen. How dare you interrupt me?"

Zui Linglong rebuked Lyuyou angrily.

"You!" Lyuyou glared at Zui Linglong.

"Just leave," Tang Xia said gently.

Lyuyou knew that Tang Xia said the words to her, so she bowed to Tang Xia and stepped backward reluctantly.

But she still felt quite angry, "Does Zui Linglong find fault with My Grace on purpose? Who does she think she is? How dare she! Is it because My Grace is too kind-hearted?"

Lyuyou was so pissed off with tears in her eyes, "I'm so wronged for My Grace! They are so evil to bully kind-hearted people!"

"However, I'm just a slave girl. I will definitely be punished if I talk more. Maybe I'll make My Grace in trouble."

Lyuyou ground her teeth tightly so that she could hold her tears back. Then Tang Xia said in a gentle voice,

"Behave yourself. Although you were just conferred as the imperial concubine by His Majesty yesterday, it doesn't mean that you can be so unruly. You have no right to reproach my maid. As for yesterday, humph! I'll bring the bitch who pushed me into the water to justice."

As Tang Xia said so, she fixed her eyes on Lengmei, who had stayed silent since she came into the room.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you suspecting me? Hm, the proof is needed for everything. Humph, do not wrong the innocent people. Pay attention to what you are saying."

Lengmei said with coldness and a trace of scorn in her eyes.

"Did I refer to you or mention by your name? How can you be so vexed if you did not do a bad thing?" Tang Xia looked back at Lengmei with a pair of sharp eyes.

"What the hell! Lengmei, Lengmei! Humph! Can you truly be more reserved and charismatic (the meaning of Lengmei in Chinese)?" Tang Xia thought.

"You!" Lengmei became speechless and sneered, "If you want to find a fault of someone, there is no need to worry about making a suitable pretext. I have nothing to say if you regard me as the culprit."

"What? Did I wrong you?" Tang Xia laughed angrily.

"Hm, there are so many ways in the world. However, some people prefer to play tricks." Lengmei snorted playing with the cup in hand.

"That's what they can do. They thought that they were powerful and had entanglements with everyone. They really overestimated their own abilities."

"You!" Tang Xia became speechless by Lengmei's words.

"Hha, interesting." Zui Linglong applauded and looked at Lengmei approvingly, "What you said makes sense! What an incisive remark!"

"I'm flattered." Lengmei smiled at Zui Linglong.

"..." Tang Xia felt quite annoyed, "It seems that Zui Linglong and Lengmei have formed a team..."

As Tang Xia felt annoyed, she began to have a headache. "Both of them are hard women. It is quite difficult to deal with one of them. How can I handle it when they are united?"

Tang Xia considered it troublesome to face with their overbearing behaviors.

After they showed their strength and left, Tang Xia crawled into bed immediately.

"Lengmei is truly terrific! It never occurred to me that Zui Linglong would unite with her." Tang Xia thought sadly and mumbled, "My life will be harder!"

As Tang Xia thought so, Lengmei was put under house arrest by Chu Tiankuo suddenly.
