Chapter 211
In a secret yard .
“Your highness, I was humiliated today . You have to help me revenge . ” Zhu Ruodie sat there, sobbing with tears in her eyes .
After coming back from the palace, Zhu Ruodie who had been angry all the way, changed her dress and came to meet Baili Xi right after .
“Ruodie, you can count on me . I will help you revenge . What should I do?” Baili Xi held her in his arms . He was angry when he was told what happened to her in the palace .
“Xia Liang picked on me on purpose and she did even want to kill me . I was so scared and frightened . But I couldn’t do nothing under the emperor’s watch . If I died like that, I wouldn’t be able to see you, my dear prince . ” Zhu Ruodie started to cry again .
Baili Xi was touched by how much she cared about him . Looking at her crying eyes, his heart ached . He promised,
“Ruodie, what is your plan? Just tell me . I will do anything for you as long as I can stop you crying and make you happy . ” Baili Xi promised and showed his heart to her .
“Are you serious? You mean anything?” Zhu Ruodie looked up at Baili Xi with her watery eyes . Baili XI’s heart was almost broken because of her poor puppy face . Of course, he agreed on whatever she said .
“How dare Xia Liang humiliate me like that! She is not only Xia Yuanzheng’s daughter, but also the woman the emperor likes . She has to die! I want the emperor to abandon her, and also give an order in person to make her a slave who will become a prostitute in the army!” Zhu Rudie talked about her vicious plan although she looked like a poor crying girl .
“After what she has done to you, Xia Liang has to die and what you said is not too much to ask . ” Baili Xi agreed, “but how are we going to persuade my brother to make her a slave?”
“My dear prince,” Zhu Ruodie put her arms around Baili Xi’s neck and said tenderly, “if you told on Xia Yuanzheng and convicted him of treason, the entire Xia family would be executed and all their women would be punished as slaves and serve in the army as prostitues . ”
Baili Xi used to keep Xia Yuanzheng alive but now he hesitated .
“My dear,” Zhu Ruodie leaned her soft body against his as he was hesitating, and said, “did you promise me just now? How can you break your promises? Anyone can replace Xia Yuanzheng . But you only have me . Are you sure you have the heart to make me so sad?”
When Baili Xi heard this, he couldn’t insist . Holding her in his arms, he compromised, “fine . Fine . As you wish, I will give up on Xia Yuanzheng . ”
“Thank you, my dear . ” Zhu Rudie kissed him on the lips and smiled, “you are so nice to me . I am so happy to be with you . ”
Then they began to snuggle .

“Liang, tell me what is going on?” Mrs . Wang asked Xia Liang .
Xia Yuanzheng was looking at his daughter . He had been too busy with work to pay attention to her daughter . All of sudden, his daughter was chosen to be the queen .
Did the emperor do this for him because he had done a great job in dealing with the Prince of Rui?
But a concubine would be enough . Why queen? Besides, was he so important to get the reward?
Xia Yuanzheng knew exactly how important he was to the important . Therefore, he was confused .
“Father, mother, it’s his majesty’s order . ” Xia Liang stood up and patted on her parents’ shoulder calmly and said, “there is nothing to worry about . What we should do is to do what’s told . ”
Xia Yuanzheng was amazed how calm his daughter was . She definitely had the quality of a queen .
“She is right . The family finally raises a queen . It’s a huge honer . ” Xia Yuanzheng continued, “it’s a good thing . As long as I am loyal to his majesty, there is nothing to worry about . ”
“Father is right . ” Xia Liang smiled and agreed .
“Fine . ” Mrs . Xia sighed, “I am upset about the sudden change . ”

“Don’t worry, mother . I will be fine . ” Xia Liang tried to transfer her mother’s focus, “we only have a month and a half to prepare my dowry . ”
Mrs . Wang sensed that her daughter had fallen in love with the emperor because she wanted so much to marry the emperor .
But they didn’t have good enough dowry as a queen even though they used every penny they had . By the wedding day, her daughter might be laughed at for being this poor .
It was a big problem for Mrs . Xia .
…
Two days later, on the court .
"Your majesty, I need to report!" An official working for Baili Xi said .
“Go ahead, official Li . ” Baili Jue said calmly, giving him a look .
“I want to sue Xia Yuanzheng, the minister of Revenue, of plotting with Dongfeng Kingdom and selling our weapons to help that country! I will charge him with treason!”

Li Wenchang said righteously, pointing at Xia Yuanzheng .
The other officials were shocked and looked at Xia Yuanzheng .
How dare Xia Yuanzheng! How could he do such a thing right after his daughter was selected as a queen? He was basically humiliating the emperor!
Soon those who had hold grudge against Xia Yuanzheng were glad to see that Xia Yuanzheng was in trouble .
“Xia Yuanzheng, tell me what’s going on!” Baili Jue shot out of his dragon-shaped chair and shouted angrily .
His anger scared the officials to kneel down and beg him to calm down .
However, Chen Jingsheng was still standing there proudly . He slightly bowed forward, not kneel, to suggest the emperor to find out the truth .
Bang!
Xia Yuanzheng suddenly knelt down and kowtowed hard on the floor and his face was pale .
Baili Jue raised his eyebrows at his action and thought, you are using too much power . You are my father-in-law now . If you are hurt, what should I tell Xia Liang?
