Chapter 343: Getting Cloaked
With General Zhong kneeling, everyone else followed suit and the entire street filled with the Ladies of the city, knelt in front of Xing along with the pale faced Chu Zhilan. The White Tiger Token holds more power than even the phoenix seal in their kingdom. How could this woman be that powerful?
"General Zhong! Didn’t I ask you to arrest Chu Zhilan?", Xing ignored the other women kneeling in front of her in the dirty road with their most expensive clothes ruined and asked Zhong Huojin who was confused about everything.
"How are you sure that the token is authentic?", the familiar voice Xing haven’t heard for a while, made Xing frown.
Before it was for Huang WanRou and now it was for Chu Zhilan... This woman can never learn can she?
"Ha! Looks like your wife has doubts of my token’s authenticity... Should I bring the Emperor here to rectify her doubts, General Zhong....? Is the Emperor that free or is he supposed to service your wife because she is a daughter-in-law of the Zhong family? "
" No, your grace! ", General Zhong got up and slapped MingXue right in front of everyone making her tremble, " Apologise! ", he roared.
" Ah! Never mind, General Zhong. And... Men hitting womn irks me...", Xing pursed her lips," But... Since Huang MingXue doubts me, I have an obligation to rectify her doubts!", Xing gave a bright smile confusing everyone and turned towards her carriage.
She got in her carriage and sat in her seat and picked up the edict that came along with the White Tiger Token and Chenglei got it from her hands. Xing was in no hurry to show that edict and watched Chenglei’s face bloom into an approving smile.
Those women were still kneeling as Xing still didn’t permit them to raise and since it’s been a while, surely by now the wetness from the ground would have seeped in through their clothes and reached their knees.
Let this be a reminder to everyone to not mess around with me!
Xing knew that friend of the Liang woman who threw dirty water at her was among the crowd too and she is now pandering to Chu Zhilan and the other women who were leaving together at the same time for the banquet belong to the same group of like-minded women who pander to the Empress for gaining favours. She has no sympathy for them!
"This sure is my brother’s writing... Táng JiaXing! How much more are you hiding from me?", he whispered as he rolled back the edict.
