Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 288: Overconfidence kills

Empress Ming is not able to speak immediately but eventually agreed, making her unable to rebut further. 'Li Huan, you will be on your own now.' She thought to herself.

Emperor Chen Xizhun suddenly finds amusement in the situation. Where does Gao Lan Mei get her confidence? Then he suddenly felt that it is wrong to think that the Gao Miss is a pushover. Maybe. Maybe not.

He does not even need to ask when Concubine Li tried to kill Gao Lan Mei, because that is not necessary when Royal Challenge Arena is taking place. Strenght! That is all a someone needs to prove to plea for justice!

On Li Huan's end, she cannot believe that Gao Lan Mei will have the guts to even speak against a decree. She expected to just hit Gao Lan Mei and bath with her blood as soon as possible.

The anger that she feels because of what she did to her face is just unmeasurable.

If not because of the expert that help her, Li Huan is sure that she won't be able to plea for justice because she can still see the despicable creatures, due to the Curse Madness!

Though Li Huan does not have any proof, she believes that everything is because of Gao Lan Mei. Even the damage on her face! All thank the expert she was able to stand up to get revenge!

Li Huan is also lucky because the only payment the expert wants is the young maid that she had. So it is very easy to give the maid away so the expert can help heal her curse and face.

Though Li Huan face needs a lot of time to completely go back to normal, it is still improving every single day.

"Eunuch Chu, state Concubine Li's claims." Emperor Chen Xizhun uttered seriously.

Doing what was ordered, Eunuch Chu read another parchment, "Concubine Li Huan, hereby claims that Gao Lan Mei, a young miss of the Gao household of dark arts, sorcery. In absence of necessary facts, Gao Lan Mei will defend her honor by proving strength during the Royal Challenge Arena. Losing will prove her guilty and will cause her to severe her legs, or death by suicide."

Emperor Chen Xizhun stared at Gao Lan Mei sternly, "Do you agree?" he asked.

Nodding her head in respect, "Yes, Your Highness. I have nothing to be afraid of." Gao Lan Mei stated in confidence.

Elder Gu smirked, "Overconfidence kills." he commented finding the situation hilarious as he shakes his head with disappointment. It is best if Gao Lan Mei is to just plead for forgiveness as there is no way for waste to win to anyone that can use spiritual energy. Well, on the other hand, it is better to die after giving all you got.

"Lou Ren! Are you planning to just shut up and allow your future Wangfei to be killed? It will be good if Wei Jiayi became a widower before he even got married! Our Huang family is very much willing to give him a replacement!" Huang Ying, one of the beings seated at the audience area shouted tauntingly.

With the cultivation restriction talisman he is wearing, it confirms that he is from the Immortal Domain, too bored and nothing better to do.

"Huang Ying! Shut your mount or I will cut your tongue!" Gao Shen stood up showing his fist to Huang Ying but only was laughed at.

"Oh! Oh! I am scared! Help me! Uncle Shen is threatening me!" Huang Ying mocked, pretending to be scared as he continued to laugh, grabbing the arm of another man to add effect.

"You!" Gao Shen being simple someone who acts before thinking is prepared to attack when Lou Ren stopped him.

Then Lou Ren just smiled, "Huang Ying, I suggest you stop talking. For your own good." he added seriously.

Huang Ying just snorted, "Hmp! What's with you guys not taking a joke?" he mumbled, suddenly feeling nervous for some reason. The tiny hair on his arm raised, and his heart started beating erratically like he is scared of something, but what?
