Chapter 802
If it were official business, that would be one thing, but last time, even when they went to a bar to relax, they ran into her!
Zhong Yu was straightforward and spoke her mind, but that chilly feeling appeared once again.
She shivered and rubbed her hands vigorously.
That cold glint just now seemed to have been shot from the Thorn Emperor's side.
However, the Thorn Emperor had always been heartless, so Zhong Yu didn't take it to heart.
But the smile on Yue Moli's face became a bit brighter, as radiant as the spring sunshine in April.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Zhong Ling pulled Zhong Yu to her side and then said to Yue Moli.
"Queen Yue, Zhong Yu is young and likes to joke; please don't take it to heart."
"It's fine." Yue Moli smiled faintly, "Besides, what she said can hardly be considered a joke."
Zhong Ling:...
Zhong Yu:...
What did Yue Moli mean by that?
Was she saying Zhong Yu's words weren't funny, or that it wasn't a joke at all?
Although the two phrases were similar, the actual meanings were worlds apart.
Xu Tian:...
He cautiously glanced at the Thorn Emperor.
Although he hadn't confirmed that the woman in front of him was definitely Tang Bingyan, for some reason, he still felt a bit guilty.
Jiang Chuan was not surprised by Yue Moli's ambiguous way of asserting her sovereignty; among the many people present, he was probably the only one who knew the relationship between Brother Yi and Yue Moli.
As for Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu, after their shock, they automatically interpreted it as the first meaning.
After all, who was Yue Moli? How could she be with their Brother Yi?
It wasn't that they weren't on Brother Yi's side, but whether in terms of background or status, the two were simply too far apart.
Yue Moli was the heir to the Yue family, one of the three great families, and the Queen of the Western Alliance's dark forces.
And their Brother Yi was merely the leader of a large gang.
Don't look at Yue Moli's daily smiling goddess appearance; if she were truly angered, her level of terror would be on par with the Thorn Emperor.
Don't look at how these two women have different personalities; they have one thing in common: neither is easy to provoke.
"Divine Doctor Lu, are there any other ways to cure the 'Lianli' toxin?" Yue Moli asked.
"Hmm... I once wanted to find an alternative way to detoxify, but there hasn't been any progress so far." Divine Doctor Lu
said regretfully, "Letting them... is the only foolproof method."
Divine Doctor Lu spoke implicitly; the most effective detoxification method currently was probably just having the two poisoned people be together.
Zhong Yu looked at Xu Tian with great sympathy.
Making the Thorn Emperor willingly fall in love with Brother Yi, and then having intercourse with him, was simply a fantasy.
Tang Bingyan remained expressionless, maintaining her aloof and arrogant demeanor as always.
But Xu Tian's words just now, which could almost be called a confession, were like a thunderbolt, dealing a heavy blow to her shell, which was as hard as a glacier.
Especially since Yue Moli maintained a meaningful smile the whole time, peaceful and elegant, as if the person Xu Tian spoke of was her, fully playing the part of the first wife.
Tang Bingyan's heart, which was like a thousand-year-old glacier, shattered instantly, falling apart, and a doomsday-like aura of death emanated from her, instantly sweeping through the entire front hall.
Zeng Rou looked at Tang Bingyan with some surprise, then quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.
Their Emperor hadn't been this angry in a long time.
Jiang Chuan also sensed that the atmosphere around them was wrong.
He opened his mouth several times, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
With his status and position, he truly couldn't change the status quo.
If he had known, he should have acted faster and invited Yue Moli over while everything could still be salvaged.
If Brother Yi hadn't infected the Thorn Emperor with 'Lianli', then letting Yue Moli detoxify him wouldn't have led to this point.
The chill and killing intent released by Tang Bingyan were truly hard to ignore. For Xu Tian's safety, Jiang Chuan braced himself and stepped forward to explain.
"Emperor, please calm your anger. Our leader was also ambushed by the Fierce Tiger Gang leader, which is why he was poisoned. As for infecting you with this deadly toxin, it was also an accident; it was absolutely not his intention to take liberties with or frame you..."
Jiang Chuan's words not only failed to calm Tang Bingyan's anger, but instead made the long-brewing storm even more rampant and uncontrollable.
Lin Shanshan covered her forehead, unable to bear watching.
This wasn't persuading or apologizing; it was simply stabbing Sister Bingyan in the heart!
If it were said that Xu Tian intentionally infected Tang Bingyan with this 'Lianli' toxin, there might still be a turning point.
Now, a single sentence of "I already have someone I like, she is gentle, considerate, and clingy," was simply forcing the two's
already precarious relationship into a dead end.
For a moment, Tang Bingyan's mind went blank, with only Xu Tian's words looping repeatedly.
Killing someone and destroying their heart, it was nothing more than this.
If it were before, she would definitely have stood firmly by Xu Tian's side to assert her sovereignty; even if the target was Yue Moli, she wouldn't have retreated a single step.
But now, she couldn't...
She couldn't expose her identity in front of Xu Tian, and couldn't drag him into the vortex again.
"My Lord..." Zeng Rou saw that her expression was wrong and stepped forward with some concern to ask, "Do you need me to..."
As long as the Emperor gave the order, she would take action and kill all these ignorant fools.
"Go back." Tang Bingyan's cold voice rang out. Before Zeng Rou could react, she had already walked out of the front hall first.
"My Lord!"
Zeng Rou paused, and before chasing after her, she sternly warned everyone present.
"Don't get too complacent. Today, your Azure Wolf Hall has offended the Emperor; one day, I will definitely make you pay double!"
She had followed the Emperor for so long, and this was the first time she had seen the other party almost lose control.
After saying that, she turned and walked away quickly.
Lin Shanshan glanced at Xu Tian's direction without a trace, then turned and followed the majority away.
Tang Bingyan didn't want to expose her identity, so she couldn't let Xu Tian see any flaws.
She didn't even know how to comfort Sister Bingyan; presumably, no woman could tolerate her man flirting and being intimate with another woman.
Even if Xu Tian hadn't really flirted with another woman, Yue Moli's arrival this time was too obviously an assertion of sovereignty.
Everyone was a woman; if Tang Bingyan couldn't see it, then there would be a problem.
However, Yue Moli could be clingy to Xu Tian, but the most critical thing was actually Xu Tian's attitude.
If Xu Tian really had a change of heart and fell for Yue Moli, then the third great war of the modern era on Wuji Island wouldn't be far off.
"This time, we really offended someone!"
Jiang Chuan looked at the Thorn Emperor's back with a worried face. With their current strength, provoking the Thorn was definitely courting death.
If attacking the Fierce Tiger Gang could be considered an eye for an eye, then Brother Yi causing the Thorn Emperor to be poisoned was an ambush.
No matter which way you look at it, they were in the wrong.
