Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Bribery Exposure, The Slapping Begins
“The Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom was a famous sage in history but also a notorious foolish ruler. What about him?”
Later generations mostly praised Emperor Xia Liang, as he founded a prosperous dynasty in the Great Xia Kingdom, unifying the land!
But some said he was blinded by lust and foolishness, never once stepping into the Imperial Harem and spoiling an Empress who punched court officials and kicked concubines recklessly.
The Imperial Harem must not interfere in politics, yet Empress Bao wore the Dragon Robe, sat on the Dragon throne, burned Memorials to the Throne, and tore down palace walls. Emperor Xia Liang did not only neglect to intervene but also prohibited court officials from speaking out, leading people to label him a foolish ruler.
The hope in Xia Weibao’s eyes extinguished bit by bit.
How could the Dog Emperor be so conceited as to call himself a foolish ruler?
Lu Hualiang was somewhat puzzled. Out of the blue, why would she ask about a historical figure?
And her expression, it seemed so disappointed?
Remembering the dance she performed today, which Emperor Xia Liang choreographed.
Thinking about that final tear of hers, could it be…
She admires Emperor Xia Liang?
The thought alone soured Director Lu’s heart. His wife was thinking about another man, even if it was a dead one, that was unacceptable!
“Why are you asking about him, he’s been dead for over a thousand years, now nothing but a heap of bones… Ah-choo!”
As he said it, he suddenly sneezed violently.
There was this inexplicable feeling of being cursed.
Xia Weibao waved her hand, “I want to sleep, you should leave.”
This is my master bedroom!
Thinking about how he moved to the guest room this morning, Lu Hualiang’s heart chilled.
Suddenly, he had the sensation of having shot himself in the foot…
“Get up and eat first.”
“Not hungry,” Xia Weibao said listlessly.
Lu Hualiang yanked her up, but didn’t expect the Empress, in her foul mood, to lash out.
“I already told you I’m not hungry.” Seeing Lu Hualiang’s face, which looked exactly like the Dog Emperor’s, only intensified her heartache.
Her nose felt sour, and her eyes stung.
The Dog Emperor, the dead emperor, had spoken of dying together. And now, wasn’t he just leaving her all alone.
“Why do you have such a face to begin with!”
Lu Hualiang, yelled at ignorantly, was stunned.
Was she annoyed because he was handsome?
“Did my face offend you?”
“It’s hideous, a freak, just looking at it makes me nauseous, so nauseous I could cry. Go away, go away, go away, go away now.”
The always proud Director Lu had never been kicked out , and immediately felt his anger rising.
“Xia Weibao, this is my room!”
“You already moved out this morning, this is my room now, goodbye! Goodbye!”
After saying that and pushing him out, she slammed the door shut.
Lu Hualiang, nearly hitting his nose on the door, “…”
He seemed to have really shot himself in the foot…
Just then, a call from Yang Li came in, and he sent over evidence of Lin Mier bribing the four judges as well.
Lu Hualiang was about to say to immediately release the evidence.
But thinking about Xia Weibao’s recent attitude, and the bitterness of not being able to return to his master bedroom, he hesitated.
This was a good opportunity. Xia Weibao had suffered such a grievance, and she surely wanted to vent her anger now.
Maybe he could use this as a bargaining chip.
So the presumptuous Director Lu began to think about how to let Xia Weibao know he had the evidence, then make her come to him for help.
It was this hesitation that made him miss the chance to curry favor with the Empress.
Yang Li’s call came through again, “Director Lu, why did you get involved personally?”
“The internet has exploded with the news about the judges taking bribes.”
