Chapter 190: My Dear Majesty, Please Let Go (20)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Baili Jue was shocked by her words and actions. He looked into her eyes and saw no jokes, no crying in there. She was as calm as ever.She was serious! She was serious!
She was serious about him killing her. She was really making me kill her!
How-how dare she!
Baili Jue came to his senses and found that the dagger had already pieced into her clothes because of her pulling. If she had used a little more strength, the dagger would have been stabbed into her heart. She could have been dead!
She could have died!
No!
“Xia Liang, are you crazy? Do you even know what you are doing? You crazy woman! How dare you!” Baili Jue suddenly pushed her away, stood up, and threw the dagger far away as he yelled at her.
The dagger made an especially loud sound in such a quiet night. The sound almost ached Baili Jue"s heart.
His body was trembling because of anger, fear and panic.
Just at that moment when the blade of the dagger had pierced through her clothes and was about to reach her skin, his heart ached greatly as if it had been pinched by someone and a great fear flooded him all of sudden.
He glared at Xia Liang and wished he could tear her apart to see if she ever had a heart and what she was thinking.
How dare she bet her life to see if he would kill her or not!
The room was still romantic and beautiful, thanks to the sparkling green light from fireflies. But Baili Jue had no mood to appreciate it. He even hated those green lights at that moment.
Because of them, he could clearly see that Xia Liang was still as calm as ever. The only difference was that there was a bit of affection but a lot of coldness and indifference in her eyes.
That f.u.c.king coldness! That f.u.c.king indifference!
Why could she still remain calm right now? She was asking for death!
If she had not looked at him with the same warmth and affection in her eyes, Baili Jue would be driven crazy and mad.
Baili Jue had no idea how embarra.s.sed he was. He panted in terror. His eyes turned red. There was sweat on his forehead and his right hand was trembling.
His right hand, the one hand that was holding the dagger to Xia Liang"s heart, couldn"t stop trembling.
“I am not crazy. I just want to help you to know yourself better.” Xia Liang approached him, held his trembling right hand tightly, and wiped the sweat off from his forehead with the other.
Baili Jue shook off her hand from his forehead and the other too. then he pushed her away and said angrily, glaring her, gritting his teeth,
“Xia Liang, good for you! How dare you force me with death! I admit that I can"t hurt you! You are cruel to me and yourself! Yes. I can"t hurt you. So what? You are such a heartless woman! I won"t believe you!”
After he yelled at her angrily, he forced himself to turn and leave. Before Xia Liang had the chance to stop him, he had already pushed open the door and jumped out of the wall.
“Your majesty?” Lou Feng hurried to catch up as he saw the emperor rushed out of the yard.
“Go away! Don"t follow me!” Baili Jue yelled in great anger.
Lou Feng was scared by the emperor"s anger. He could guess it was all because of Xia Liang. What was he going to do with Xia Liang now?
Did he need to kill her?
“Your majesty, do I need to get rid of her?” Lou Feng finally asked after he gave it a good thought.
“What did you say?” Baili Jue stopped to Lou Feng"s question. He jerked to glare at Lou Feng as if he was about to kill Lou Feng.
“Who are you going to get rid of? Did I say I would kill her? If she gets a bit hurt, you can die!”
Lou Feng was scared to kneel down. His heart trembled. Even though the emperor was so angry, he still put her in the first place. It was not unusual to care so much about a woman.
“I dare not! I will certainly order them to protect Miss Xia from any hurt.” Lou Feng added to comfort the angry emperor.
Baili Jue stopped glaring at him and kept going.
When he got back to the palace, Baili Jue still couldn"t calm down his anger. As long as he remembered when he was holding a dagger at Xia Liang"s heart, his heart ached as if he was stabbed in the heart.
His heart was full of anger and fear. He couldn"t stop thinking what Xia Liang said just now.
"If you don"t believe me, if you think I am to hurt you, kill me now. My life is in your hands. All it takes is one stab and you can kill me."
“Urgh!” Baili Jue roared in anger and kicked the vase in the corner into pieces.
The sound frightened those young eunuchs and maids outside. They wished they could shrink themselves into an invisible ball and stayed away from the angry emperor.
Defu was startled too. His body trembled because of the sound. He had never seen the emperor this angry.
“Defu, wine!” Baili Jue shouted.
“Yes, your majesty. Very soon. Very soon.” Defu was startled again. He didn"t want to make any mistake to irritate the already angry emperor. therefore, he ordered a young eunuch to ran his life to get a bottle of wine.
Soon later, the young eunuch rushed over with a jar of wine in his arms, gasping for breath, and handed it to Defu.
“Your majesty, your wine is here. Do you need to…” Defu was about to ask if he needed to clean the mess when he saw the mess in the bedroom?
“Go away! Now!” Baili Jue took the jar and yelled in great anger.
Without saying anything, Defu hurried to leave and told the eunuchs and maids to leave too.
Holding the jar in his arms, he raised his head and poured several mouthfuls of wine. Baili Jue coughed painfully. The wine was bitter enough to numb his nerve and probably put out the fear that occupied his heart.
Yes, fear, the fear that annihilated him, the fear that made him miserable, the fear that drove him mad, never stopped from the moment he held the dagger at Xia Liang"s heart.
Even though he pushed her away at the last moment, and even though he didn"t really hurt her in the end, Baili Jue still could not contain the panic and fear that seemed to have grown from the depths of his soul, leaving him no way to control it.
In that scenario, he did not know how to face Xia Liang. Although his words were mean and even yelled at her that she was cruel and he didn"t believe her, the truth was that he was afraid and scared.
So, in the end, he escaped.
