LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 381 Where Is My Wife?

"Oh, Junjie....", Chenglei shook his head and his voice was filled with frustration seeing his little brother defending his wife as always but he got more enraged.

"You are right. I cannot threaten her. I'll just kill her!", Chenglei went to the desk and pulled out the black sword out of its sheath and pointed it at Weiye.

"One final chance, Junjie! Make her tell the truth or else you both will die, I swear. ", his green eyes were filled with determination with a little impatience and a lot of worry.

'Just like always, brother! Mingxia is the one you hold dearest in your heart!', the Emperor snorted silently.

'But is she really missing? Where could have she gone? '

'He is holding one of the twin sword?'

Chu Weiye observed the tall figure looming in front of her and only then she noticed the uncanny resemblance between the Emperor and him.

How come I never noticed this before?

The way they are close and the way the Emperor treated Lord Li and the various rumours surrounding them.... Her twisted mind immediately made the connection between them.

Brothers....

These two are brothers!

He is the Rui Wang as my father predicted!

Wait.... If that is the case, isn't he trying to woo the divine ruler now.? If those two get together, won't they be the heaven mandated rulers of this land? Then wouldn't it be a danger for me and my son?

No.... My son should become the next emperor! And I should be the dowager and be buried in the Imperial burial ground with my name written in every record as the only empress of the Tongtian Emperor...!

He.. He.. He... She sneered in his heart.

Good thing that divine ruler will be ravaged by a bunch of men by now and thrown away like the trash she is....

No way, this Prince would accept a tainted woman like her!

"Weiye!", the Emperor shook her shoulders to get her out of her daze.

She must have frozen out of fear!

"If you have anything to do with the disappearance of Mingxia, tell me now", his voice was gentle as he asked her and his hands never left her belly as he rubbed it gently to coax the disturbed babies.

"Tell me!", Chenglei shouted once again trying to poke her heart with the sword and the Emperor blocked him.

"Weiye....", his voice was gentle to the extent it was almost pleading and Weiye was caught in the whirlpool of his gaze that was filled with concern.

How handsome is he? Isn't he my husband? I must be really lucky to have him by my side. Does he really like me?

" He is someone with the purest heart I know", Weiye remembered the Huang Empress telling her that. Is she right? If I am nice to him, can I really have his heart? Will I really have a blissful married life?

"She.... I.....", Weiye who almost spilled the truth bit her tongue to stop herself from letting her heart waver.

No! No way! I cannot be some foolish wife who'll be thrown away. This is the inner palace and I am the empress! I will live and die as the Empress I am! The Emperor's love can never be real. History taught us that much!

"I really don't know, your Majesty! You saw her throwing that box at me and you brought me here and I'm here for hours. How would I know? ", she plastered on a pitiful face and looked at the Emperor's eyes and she saw his gentler eyes gradually turning cold.

" Hmpf! ", he snorted and stood up, " I gave you a chance, Weiye! I really did. But you still haven't changed your ways", he chuckled and his eyes glistened slightly.

He really wished she had changed for the better.

But too bad she didn't!

He really wanted to believe her. He believed her till today!

His doubts started to rise when Weiye said that Mingxia threw a box at her.

Since when Mingxia acted so childishly? If she was peeved, wouldn't she have thrown the person at the box and not the other way around? That's possible, he had seen it too.

The next thing was when she said the wind blew in the wrong direction splashing the rouge on Mingxia's face.

Since when did the wind start to act against Mingxia? Isn't she someone who controls it? And the favourite of the god of wind?

Weiye must have thrown the box.

And her behaviour ever since she reached the study.

She definitely is hiding something.

Even now, her pitiful eyes are hiding her true intentions filled with malice.

" The truth, Weiye!", the Emperor gritted his teeth and got the sword from his brother's hands. He knew he'd lose his composure anytime now and would actually stab her not minding that she is pregnant.

They are my children and they must live!

"Wha... Why... I...", Weiye stuttered as she looked at the Emperor who now had a cold expression on his face. It was as if the gentle one moments ago didn't exist anymore.

I knew! I knew he could never love me! I can only be an empress and never a woman loved by her husband.

What she didn't know was the man in front of her with the sword in his hands was hurt beyond measures by her deceit and is now crying inside.

I never should have decided to open my heart again... I'm only getting hurt!

"Ha ha ha... Your Majesty! It's amazing to see you brothers care about her this much!", she spoke curling her lips and the Emperor had to wrap his arms around his brother's waist to stop him from hitting her again.

"How harmonious you two brothers are and how well are you deceiving the court! But she is the most astute b*itch I've ever seen!", she sneered.

"Chu Weiye!", even the Emperor could not help but shout at her and Chenglie almost got out of his brother's grip.

"Let go, Junjie", he growled.

"I'm not lying.... That woman... 'Mingxia', as my husband affectionately addresses.... She is no pure lotus... Did you know Lord Li....? That she already slept with your brother several times and she had to stay away your brother because she couldn't get pregnant? When I got pregnant before her, she had to leave to protect her ego... Check the inner palace records to see how many nights the Emperor stayed with her... Hmpf! And now she is coming for you! ", Chu Weiye sneered and the Emperor froze and he could feel his brother getting stiff too.

What did she do? What did she do? How could this be explained...?

There was a silence for sometime with the Emperor's hands loosening from his brother's waist and he staggered back. He tried to look at his brother's face but his bangs were covering his face making him unable to read his expression. But he could feel the chillness emitting from him that made the room cold.

Brother! What are you thinking?

The Emperor knew if he tried to explain anything now, it would only seem like excuses. There really are records of him staying the night with her. He cannot deny that. But nothing happened between them and that is the truth. But who'd believe that?

Oh, Mingxia! Why is this all happening? Am I responsible for your sufferings? Once again? Or is it our fate to be getting involved even after you've finished everything that needs to be done? Why are the gods making you suffer this much?

The Emperor went back to his chair and sat with his head buried in his head, "Brother, trust me... I..."

"Where is JiaXing? Where is my woman?", Chenglei's deep voice interrupted the Emperor's soft voice making the Emperor gasp and look at his brother.

His brother was looking down at Weiye on the floor and his back was straight and his tone had such affection dripping from it when he said her name.

He trusts me? The Emperor was ecstatic and he saw the sneering face Weiye had turning pale.

But for Chenglei, he didn't care anymore. Her past is hers but he wanted her future.

Did it hurt to hear that she'd already slept with his brother? Yes!

Does he mind? Yes!

Will he give up anything to meet her before she entered the palace? Yes!

But he didn't.... He couldn't.... She met his brother first and she became his wife first!

Can he change that? No!

And can he give up on her? No! A big no!

He wanted her! As his wife.

"I will ask one more time.... Where is MY wife?", his green eyes as ferocious as that of a wolf fixed on Weiye and she trembled in fear.

The man still wants her? He doesn't care that she is tainted? But still.... Its already late... Now she would have been addicted to that drug after using it once and she's have been used by many men as the whore she is!

Let's see if you'd still want her!

She sneered.
