Chapter 202: My Dear Majesty, Please Let Go (32)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Ruodie, after we get married, I am sorry that you need to go back to the northwest with me. But when we get everything ready, we will come back.” Baili Xi said.“As long as we are together.” Zhu Ruodie smiled, gazing into Baili Xi"s eyes, full of love in her eyes.
Baili Xi was so moved that he tried to reach for her but she avoided him skillfully.
Zhu Ruodie could sense that he was showing a little impatience on his face. She took his hand and asked tenderly, “have you deal with those weapons? After a while, you can reveal the whole thing in court and to the emperor. And you will get rid of Xia Yuanzheng, Lu Kun and other officials who are loyal to the emperor, and also replace them with your own people. By then, you will hold a solid position in the court. Even though Baili Jue is the emperor, he will be under your control.”
then Zhu Ruodie itched Baili Xi"s palm with her fingertip, flirting with him to make it up for him.
Baili Jue was pleased by her big dream but then frowned as if something was bothering him.
Zhu Ruodie had a bad feeling about this. She raised her beautiful and soft voice which sounded a bit aggressive,
“What is wrong? We have been working on this for half a year since I met you. We have discussed every detail and even Dongfeng Kindom. We have pulled every strength for this. You must know that, do you? Now we are about to succeed in defeating the emperor, if we lose…”
“Don"t be angry, Ruodie.” Baili Xi calmed her down, “there is one mistake. I want to keep Xia Yuanzheng alive and leave him out of the whole thing. He is gifted and talented. Now that he works for me, if we get rid of him, it would be a big loss. And I wouldn"t have no one to replace him.”
“No one? My father is the head of Ministry of Revenue. He can be the minister if you get rid of Xia Yuanzheng.” Zhu Ruodie frowned.
“Not your father.” Baili Xi shook his head, “after the banquet, you will be my official wife. If I get rid of Xia Yuanzheng and promote your father as the minister, my brother will suspect me of being part of the whole plan.”
Zhu Ruodie held resentment in her mind as she heard what he said but on the outside said with a smile, “you are thoughtful. It is my mistake. But why is Xia Yuanzheng suddenly working for you? As I know, he is very loyal to the emperor. Could it be a trap?”
“Impossible. I already have the evidence of him being part of weapon plot. And I have his family under control. He won"t be a problem.” Baili Xi said confidently.
“It"s better to be safe.” Zhu Ruodie said.
“Don"t worry. It won"t be a problem.” Baili Xi frowned impatiently and held her hands in his, “look, we only see each other once in a while. Can we not talk about these and…?”
Although Zhu Ruodie didn"t want to do it, she knew it very clearly that it was fine to play hard to get in front of men but it was the worst to play too hard to get. When they were out of patience, she had to give in a bit, otherwise men would be annoyed and get away from her.
“Your highness…” Zhu Ruodie threw herself into Baili Xi"s arms, putting her arms around his neck and kissing him on the lips.
…
“Zhu Ruodie, the eldest daughter of Zhu Wende, head of Ministry of Revenue, is a woman as beautiful as a fairy. She was not known by the outside world until she made an astonis.h.i.+ng debut at the banquet one year ago and then is known as the first beauty of the Liuyun City, also known as the Fairy. Then her fame got bigger. Then she went to the Temple of the State quiet often, almost the same time as Prince of Rui did. Yesterday they met on the top floor of Pinxiang Ju and stayed there for almost two hours. Their conversation is not known.”
Baili Jue sneered after he read the report and said sarcastically, “what a fairy! It is her! I kind of heard of her. First beauty? It"s too bad that her heart is not beautiful at all. All women else are evil and horrible.”
Except for his Xia Liang who was smart, innocent, easy-to-read, honest and super cute.
“Have you sent one copy to her?” Baili Jue asked,
“I already sent one copy to Miss Xia.” The guard answered, “And Miss Xia has something for you.”
The guard took out one thing that was wrapped by a piece of cloth.
“Why didn"t you say it earlier?!” Baili Jue yelled out of anger and took it over hurriedly. He unwrapped it and it turned out to be a book.
Judging by the cover, Baili Jue could tell it was a handwriting version that Xia Liang copied for him.
Baili Jue didn"t opened the book right away but spend time feeling how thick the book was. His heard was full of love and guilt.
She must be exhausted to make such a copy while she was still busy with opening up shops these days!
Xia Liang, I told you not to rush in writing those books.
I wish I could keep an eye on you every minute to stop you.
Baili Jue touched the thick book and felt her love and care and how much she desired to help him. His heart was melt with love.
For that moment, his trust on Xia Liang increased 10 points, reaching 85 points in total.
He wanted to see her, hug her, kiss her, make love to her, and tell her that he liked her.
But he made a promise that he wouldn"t see her every day and they made a deal on every three days. But it was only the second day.
Baili Jue was anger at himself for making such a promise to her!
Who was the master eventually? Why would he always listen to her?
Xia Liang, after everything you have done to turn me on, you just leave me there alone. Do you know how awful I feel right now? Thought Baili Jue.
He had to make her listen to him after they got married!
