How If (Dong Hua And Feng Jiu Story)

57. The thing he was most afraid of happened

"You guys are really rude!” Lexu added. “Princess Ming Xia is a palace concubine, she is even pregnant with the crown prince's child, and you treat pregnant women like criminals!”

Ming Xia was still shaking and crying in Lexu's arms. Migu returned to the cave to take the blanket and immediately approached the mother and daughter-in-law to drape the blanket over Ming Xia's back. Ming Xia's hands trembled as she smoothed the blanket over her shoulders. The baby in her womb was already moving as if she was worried about her mother's condition.

The soldiers tried to stand up straight then respected someone who suddenly appeared with an aura.

"Wen Tao."

Zhong Lin and the others recognized who the man is.

"Wen Tao, what is this? Why are your soldiers treating Jiuchongtian's daughter-in-law so cruelly!" Lexu shouted because she felt disapproved of the actions of the soldiers.

Wen Tao paid his respects. He observed the situation for a while then said, "Forgive us for being too rude. This is Tianjun's order."

"What? How is that possible?" Lexu stood up. She felt disapproved.

"Forgive us, Lady Lexu. Princess Ming Xia is the suspect now."

"What did she do wrong to make her a suspect?"

Wen Tao observed Ming Xia who was still curled up. Actually he didn't believe it either, but the evidence pointed to her. He sighed then announced Ming Xia's guilt, "Poisoning the crown prince."

Everyone was shocked to hear that. Ming Xia shouted in self-defense, "No! That's a lie! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" she panicked and approached Lexu, she prostrated herself, holding Lexu's feet who stood towering in front of her pleading, "Mother, please save me. I really didn't do it!"

Plaque! A slap from Lexu landed on Ming Xia's cheek. Ming Xia staggered with her face slumped to the ground. Her stomach was pounding and throbbing in pain. Her eyes were blurry and her ears were ringing to hear Lexu pointing and cursing at her, "I love you like my own daughter but is this your payback? You poisoned my son! My son!"

Ming Xia's heart was torn apart. The only person who loved her had turned to hate her. Neither did Lady Lexu, she couldn't believe that she could hate Ming Xia like this. She didn't expect that Ming Xia would have the heart to poison Ye Hua. Her body trembled as she ordered the soldiers, "Arrest her immediately and give her the punishment she deserves!"

The soldiers swiftly carried out her orders. Ming Xia was dragged away again and she couldn't help but surrender. Lexu cried and finally passed out again.

Migu caught her body, but he couldn't lift her so Lexu's body was stranded on his shoulder. "Brother Zonglin, how did this happen? How could concubine Ming Xia Poison the crown prince?"

"I don't know either. We can only wait the news from Siming."

Then, how can that happen? What really happened? We go back to when Bai Qian, Feng Jiu and Siming arrived at Jiuchongtian. Jiuchongtian was in heavy rain. Water inundated every side and the battlefield was still bustling with screams and the clanging sound of scraping metal objects. The mermaid army got their strength from nowhere, to fight for that long considering that Jiuchongtian was not their habitat.

Bai Qian observed the fight and saw Ye Hua fighting someone. She shot towards Ye Hua and dispelled the spear of a mermaid that struck Ye Hua's chest.

The jade fan immediately blew the mermaid away. Ye Hua stumbled as Bai Qian appeared in front of him. "Qian Qian."

"Are you okay?" Without turning her head, Bai Qian asked Ye Hua's condition.

"Yes, it is me."

The mermaid burst into laughter. "The crown prince is apparently hiding under his wife's skirt."
