The man lying on the bed was Li Liangzuo, the newly crowned Emperor of the Western Xia Country. Anyone who was familiar with him would be shocked to see his current appearance. He looked haggard and his eyes were dim. He didn't have any of his previous high-spirited appearance.
"Bastard!" Li Liangzuo, who was lying on the bed like a living dead, suddenly became excited when he heard the man's words.
The well-dressed man said with a smile, "I know you are not convinced that you lost to me. You always think that it was because of my sneak attack."
Li Liangzuo stared at him with hatred, "Isn't it?"
The well-dressed man didn't care. He smiled and said, "Your martial arts are good, but you are no match for me even if we fight face to face. I just don't want to have a head-on duel with you to avoid trouble."
Li Liangzuo snorted, "Since it has come to this, you can say whatever you want."
"The winner is king, and the loser is in the wrong. This is the truth of the world," the well-dressed man said calmly, "But I am in a good mood these days. I can make you accept your defeat."
"I won't accept my defeat even if I die." Li Liangzuo clenched his teeth so hard that they almost bled.
"Really?" The well-dressed man showed a strange smile, "A man's biggest failure is to not only be defeated, but also to have his own woman surrender to his enemy. I will let you thoroughly taste the taste of failure."
Li Liangzuo felt a rush of hot air rushing to the top of his head, followed by a chill down his spine, "Now that your martial arts are strong, Miss Mu naturally can't resist you, but I know her character very well, she will never submit to you!"
"Really? Don't be too sure." The well-dressed man showed a playful expression, like a cat playing with a mouse. "I heard that you used the power of the Emperor to make her the empress. But Miss Mu doesn't seem to have any feelings for you, so she refused you several times when you went to see her."
"Father has just passed away, and her family has just suffered a disaster. She should observe mourning for three years. It is normal for her to refuse me." Li Liangzuo snorted.
The well-dressed man laughed, "You don't understand a woman's heart. Obviously, you are not charming enough. Do you believe that I can make her take off her clothes in front of me and offer herself to sleep with me?"
"Dream on!" Li Liangzuo knew that Mu Wanqing had always been staunch, so how could she do such a thing?
"How about we make a bet?" "If you win, I will spare your life and allow you to spend the rest of your life happily with the queen. If I win, you will tell me the secret words that you made with your trusted subordinates, and I will still spare your life. How does that sound?"
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Li Liangzuo sneered again and again. He knew that the reason why he could still live until now was mainly because he was cautious in the beginning. He had made an agreement with his trusted subordinates. In addition to the imperial seal and personal seal, he had also set up a unique password system, which was different from everyone's password.
This was actually a secret measure that he had taken to avoid information being leaked when he was hiding his strength and biding his time in the past few years. Later, when he seized the throne, he kept this habit, which indirectly saved his life. Otherwise, he would have died the moment he lost the battle during the coup a few days ago.
The well-dressed man did not care. "You will agree to my bet because you have no other capital to turn the tables now. Even if you know that this hope is very slim, you will still grasp it."
Li Liangzuo's expression changed. He knew that what the man said was not false. Now that his Dantian had been destroyed, he had become a cripple. He could not even move normally like an ordinary person due to his serious injuries. If he continued to sleep here like this, only death awaited him. Instead of that, he might as well take a gamble.
"Okay, I'll bet with you, but you can't use force to force her, and you can't use her family to threaten her. You can only rely on your own … charm!" Li Liangzuo said the last few words through gritted teeth. He resisted the nausea in his heart. The man in front of him was like a demon in his eyes. Where was the slightest bit of charm to speak of?
As for this bet, he had sealed off all possibilities of the man using underhanded tricks. This way, with Mu Wanqing's fiery temper, she would never throw herself into that man's arms.
"No problem." The well-dressed man snapped his fingers and ordered his subordinates outside the door, "Bring the empress you just invited here."
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Li Liangzuo's heart sank. He knew very well that the man was not a fool, otherwise he would not have been able to change the world with one strike. The man easily proved that he had a card up his sleeve, but no matter how hard he thought, he really could not think of a reason why Mu Wanqing would yield.
Not long after, Mu Wanqing was brought over. When the well-dressed man saw her, he could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Lively and fragrant, extremely charming, like the radiance of the crescent moon and the snow piled up by the flowering trees. You are indeed a one-in-a-million beauty. No wonder Li Liangzuo can't forget you."
Mu Wanqing's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Who are you?"
The well-dressed man waved his hand, indicating for the guards who were escorting her to leave first. Only then did he say, "I am the leader of the Flowers Sect. My name is Nian Liandan, and my nickname is' Flower Fairy '."
Mu Wanqing revealed a hint of disgust. "This nickname sounds like you're not a good person. You're like a rapist."
Nian Liandan relied on his handsome appearance and confident demeanor to always be successful when it came to women. He had never been rebuked so badly like today.
Li Liangzuo could not help but laugh loudly. The depression that had accumulated over the past few days could not help but be swept away. "Haha, this is your so-called charm. I'm dying of laughter, cough cough …"
Only now did Mu Wanqing notice Li Liangzuo lying on the bed. She could not help but ask, "So you're here. Huh, what happened to you?"
Li Liangzuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of relief appeared on his face. "I thought you were heartless to me, but I didn't think you would still care about me. I was plotted against by this guy, which is why I'm like a living dead now."
Mu Wanqing went over to investigate and discovered that he had already become a cripple. She could not help but say, "If you can't beat him with your martial arts, then it's even more impossible for me. I can't help you."
"I don't need you to help me. It's just that this person made a bet with me just now. He said that he could make you willingly throw yourself into his arms." Li Liangzuo was worried that there would be some unforeseen event, so he mentioned the bet in advance to give Mu Wanqing a warning, just in case.
Mu Wanqing could not help but be furious. "Shameless!" She raised her arm, and the poison sleeve dart shot toward Nian Liandan.
Nian Liandan's figure did not move at all. His two jade-like fingers lightly caught the poison sleeve dart. "What a fierce rouge horse. Riding like this makes me feel even more subdued."
Li Liangzuo was greatly shocked, and hurriedly said, "You said you wouldn't use force to force her!"
