He poured down the wine one mouthful at a time, and his heart seemed to become numb. Bailijue's eyes became more and more blurred, and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. He seemed to see Xia Liang standing in front of him, looking at him. said,
"If you really don't believe me, then kill me. My life is in your control."
Bailijue smiled wryly, threw away the wine jar in his arms, stretched out his hand as if to grab her in his arms, and whispered, "Xia Liang, you damned woman! You forced me to die, you did it! Okay, well done. I believe in you, I believe in you... "
Of course, his hand was empty. In front of him, there was no Xia Liang, it was just his fantasy.
"Hehe... I believe you... Since I can't hurt you, I will trust you once, even if I bet my life, my country... Xia Liang, don't let me down..."
Bai Lijue murmured, gave up that intellectual struggle, chose to obey his heart, took a gamble, and put his little trust on Xia Liang.
……………
In the room, after Bai Lijue pushed her away and turned to leave, Xia Liang was stunned for a long time, then walked over, squatted down, and was about to pick up the dagger that fell on the ground.
"Ding! The trust value has increased by 50 points." At this moment, the system's 9957 notification sounded in his mind.
Hearing this, Xia Liang stopped stretching out his hand, and after a moment's pause, he picked up the dagger, put it in his hand and couldn't help playing with it, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Liangliang, are you not afraid that he will really kill you?" 9957 asked.
"Don't be afraid. He won't." Xia Liang said lightly, "Even if he kills me, then kill me. See you in the next world."
9957 was speechless, and could only say, "This move of yours is really ruthless."
"It's very useful, isn't it?" Xia Liang stood up, looked at a few fireflies that were still dancing in the house, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother begins to believe me."
After hearing this, 9957 was speechless for a long time, and could not help but mourn for Bailijue. It is really not an easy task to control Xia Liang.
It's just because she doesn't play cards according to common sense. Even being pursued by her requires an extremely strong heart to be able to withstand her 'attack'.
... ... ...
In the early morning of the second day, Bailijue woke up with a splitting headache. Because of the hangover, he felt that his head was about to burst, and the surroundings were filled with a strong smell of alcohol and a pungent smell.
This involuntarily made him feel even more uncomfortable, stimulating his empty stomach and giving him an urge to vomit.
Bailijue moved his body, only to realize that he had slept on the chair all night, his whole body was sore and stiff, this sour taste made Bailijue's face darker and smellier.
"Telford!"
Standing outside, Defu, who had been hesitating whether to go in and wake up his majesty, trembled in fright when he heard the 'roar of the dragon', and ran in in response.
"Your Majesty, do you want to wash up? The slave has prepared a refreshing soup for you, which can relieve your headache. Let the servant bring it, can you take a sip?" Telford looked at the disheveled and haggard face of his majesty, and asked with concern .
"Yeah." Bailijue rubbed his forehead, replied in a low voice, and then said, "Clean up here. I'll drink after I get out of the shower."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the hot spring pool in the apse, and quickly washed off the smell of alcohol in his body.
As for Defu, he quickly asked more than a dozen eunuchs and maids to clean the bedroom, ventilated it, and lit incense. When Bailijue came out of the bath, everything was done quickly.
"Well done." Baili Jue took a sip of the Yangshen Soup and praised him.
Hearing this, Defu grinned, his whole face turned into a chrysanthemum, and asked again, "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well today, so you won't be coming this morning?"
"I'm fine." Baili Jue waved his hand and said calmly, "Hurry up and change my clothes."
Defu saw that his majesty's face was so pale, and he still insisted on going to court early, and felt sad, it was really not easy for his majesty.
Last night, what exactly happened to make His Majesty lose his composure, tsk tsk, I really want to know!
Above the court hall, Bai Lijue looked at Xia Yuanzheng who was standing below with a haggard face. Thinking of what Xia Liang said about seeking power yesterday, he suddenly felt a little angry.
For you, an old bastard, Xia Liang will turn against me, it's really... really good!
One morning, Xia Yuan felt that His Majesty's eyes were on him from time to time, which made him feel even more uneasy. After finally going through the whole morning court, he heard the sound of "retire court" like the sound of heaven .
However, before Xia Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief, Baili Jue said lightly, "Xia Aiqing stay here and wait in the imperial study."
"I obey." Xia Yuanzheng quickly knelt down, feeling more and more bitter in his heart. When he stood up, he looked up and found that the dragon chair was empty, and His Majesty had left.
"Master Shangshu, please follow the slaves." A young eunuch walked to his side and led him to the imperial study.
Because of the matter of the black clothes last night, Xia Yuan could be said to have had no sleep all night, and his energy was low. At this time, he was summoned by Bailijue, and he felt even more uneasy. He stood in the imperial study room with his head bowed. , the legs have been a little weak.
Just when he felt that his eyes were dark and his legs were trembling and he was about to fall down, Baili Jue, who had had breakfast and changed into casual clothes, walked in Shi Shiran.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty." Xia Yuan hurriedly knelt down to salute Baili Jue, and instantly felt that kneeling was more comfortable than standing.
"Well, get up." Bai Lijue glanced at him, walked to the desk and sat down, found that he was still kneeling on the ground, couldn't help wondering, "I asked Xia Aiqing to get up, why does Aiqing actually prefer to kneel?!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me. Your legs are a little numb, and I won't be able to get up for a while." Xia Yuanzheng hastily apologized.
"I think you're scared to the bone." Baili Jue stabbed him, and Xia Yuanzheng begged for mercy repeatedly.
Bai Lijue scolded the old man in a low voice, seeing that he was really unwell, and thinking that he was Xia Liang's father, he said to the outside,
"Come here, give Xia Aiqing a seat."
"Your Majesty is merciful, I thank Your Majesty for your grace." Xia Yuanzheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and quickly thanked him.
Bai Lijue picked up the two memorials on the table and said, "Xia Aiqing, here are two memorials. Take them and sit down to read them carefully. If you have anything to say, think it through before you talk."
"As ordered."
Xia Yuan was standing up tremblingly, and respectfully took the two memorials from Bailijue, and at this time, the servant had already prepared the chair for him.
