The envoy nodded repeatedly. "I stake my life on it, my lady. Every single word was spoken by the Emperor himself."
Bai Bingbing let out a sigh of relief. In her heart, there was room only for Ding Wei; no other man could ever take his place. Whether it was a talented hero of the pugilistic world or the Emperor himself, Bai Bingbing had no interest.
