Chapter 191
ne by one, he poured the wine into his stomach, and his heart seemed to be numbed . His eyes became blurred and he started to have illusions . He seemed to see Xia Liang standing in front of him .
"If you don't believe me, kill me . My life is in your hands . "
With a wry smile, Baili Jue threw the jar away and reached for her to held her in his arms, “Xia Liang, woman! How dare you bet your life with me! Well done! Good for you! I believe you! I believe you…”
However there was nothing in his arms . Xia Liang was nowhere near . It was only his illusion .
“I believe you . Since I can’t hurt you, I will believe you once, even if it means risking my life and my kingdom . Xia Liang, don’t let me down . ”
Baili Jue murmured, giving up fighting against his ration . He chose to follow his hear and bet his rare trust on Xia Liang .
…
In the room, Xia Liang stood still for a long time after she was pushed away by Baili Jue . Very long time later, he went over, squatted down and picked up the dagger on the floor .
“You get 50 more points of trust . ” Said 9957 in her mind .
Xia Liang paused and picked up the dagger later . She played with the dagger in her hand, having a smile on her face .
“Liang, aren’t you afraid that he might have actually killed you?” asked 9957 .
“No . he won’t . ” Xia Liang said, “even if he did, let it be . We will meet in next world . ”
9957 went silent and then said, “that was a very cruel way . ”
“But it was also efficient, wasn’t it?” Xia Liang stood up and looked at the fireflies in the room and smiled, “my brother began to believe me . ”
9957 felt speechless for a long time and felt sorry for Baili Jue . It was not easy to control Xia Liang .
Because she was so unique . Even the man she pursued needed to be strong enough to accept her love .
…
The next morning when Baili Jue woke up with headache, he realized that he was having a miserable hangover and his head was about to explode . The room smelt strong and unpleasant wine .
It made him feel even worse . The smell stimulated his empty stomach, making him nauseous .

Baili Yue moved a bit and found himself spent one night in a chair . That was why his body ached and stiffed, which Baili Jue was not happy about .
“Defu!”
Defu, who had been hesitating to go in and wake up the emperor, came running in at the sound of the emperor’s roar .
“Your majesty, are you ready for a wash? I have prepared a soothing soup for you to relieve your headache . Do you want to try?” Defu cared as he saw the emperor’s-tired face .
“Mm . ” Baili Jue agreed, rubbing his forehead, “clean the room and I will eat the soup after I take a bath . ”
Then he went for the hot spring pool to wash the smell off him .
Defu, however, acted quickly to arrange a dozen eunuchs and maids to clean the bedroom, opened the window and burnt fragrant incense . When Baili Jue finished his bath, everything was ready .
“Well done . ” Baili Jue took a sip of the soup and praised .
Defu smiled brightly at the emperor’s praise and asked, “are you going to work today? Since you are not feeling well . ”
“I am fine . ” Baili Jue waved his hand at him and said calmly, “dress me up . ”

Defu felt sorry for the emperor who insisted on working even his face was so pale . It was not easy to be an emperor .
By the way, he really wanted to know what happened last night to drive the emperor so mad .
In the court, Baili Jue was irritated again when he laid his eyes on Xia Yuanzheng whose face was pale too .
Just because of you, Xia Liang even plotted to overthrow me! Good! Good for you!
For entire morning, Xia Yuanzheng had a feeling that the emperor gave him hard stares once in a while, which made him upset . Finally, he heard the sound of “dismiss” which was like a beautiful song to him today .
But before Xia Yuanzheng could take a deep breath to relax, Baili Jue said calmly, “Xia, you stay and wait for me in the study . ”
“Yes, your majesty . ” Xia Yuanzheng knelt down . There was bitterness in his heart . When he got back on feet, he saw no one on the dragon chair .
“Official Xia, please come with me . ” A young eunuch came to him and led him to the imperial study .
Xia Yuanzheng stayed up all night because of what the man in black said . Now he was especially upset to be called by Baili Jue . He stood there in the study, head hanging down and feet shaking .

Just when he felt that he was about to lose consciousness and couldn’t stand on his shaking legs, Baili Jue who had just finished his breakfast and changed dress walked in .
“Salute to your majesty . ” Xia Yuanzheng knelt down to salute to the emperor . At that moment, kneeling down was even more comfortable than standing .
“Get up . ” Baili Jue glanced at him before he sat down by his table, and asked when he realized that he was still on his knees, “I said get up . Do you prefer kneeling down?”
“My apologies . But I can’t feel my legs . I can’t get back on my feet now . ” Xia Yuanzheng apologized .
“You must be too scared . ” Baili Jue pried, which scared Xia Liang to beg for forgiveness .
“Eunuch, go get a chair for Xia . ”
“Thank you for understanding, your majesty!” Xia Yuanzheng thanked a lot .
Baili Jue asked, holding two reports in his hands, “Xia, here are two reports . You can have a good look and then you can say anything you want to tell . ”
“Yes, your majesty . ”
Xia Yuanzheng struggled to get back on feet and respectfully received those two reports from Baili Jue with both hands . At that moment, the eunuch had already set up a chair for him .
