Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The finger movement of Baili Jia Jue halted, his eyes sunk completely.
No matter who was on the opposite side, this feeling that someone wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h his prey away made him feel very, very unhappy.
Baili Jia Jue let out a sneer, then he reached out his hands slowly along with a loud bang.
As the ringing ceased, the wall at the corner was broken into a large area of wall ashes!
Helian Wei Wei turned her head around, she looked puzzled, what is wrong with His Highness?
Currently, Helian Wei Wei was still remaining at the stage, ‘If the other side knows I am the one who has possessed her, will she treat me like a monster, then tie me up and roast me like a meat kebab?’.
How she would know that the anger of Baili Jia Jue was entirely due to the fact that someone was getting their hands on her.
The thick claws of Fire Qilin pressed onto the ground. It was also slightly confused with the meaning behind the action of its master.
Baili Jia Jue paced over, he stood in front of it with a murderous aura. His whole body was emitting an endless sense of coldness and cruelness. His eyelids lifted as his black hair was blowing in the air along with the wind. The black jadelike pupils raised slightly as he uttered, “Go and check out who created the Qi in this compound.”
“Yes.” Fire Qilin lowered its head. This matter did not seem to be as simple as it was…
The rain was still spattering outside.
Helian Wei Wei was pressing her own forehead when Yuan Ming suddenly opened its eyes and spoke with a deep voice, “Woman, you must be careful during this period of time.”
Helian Wei Wei agreed with a grunt. Her baby hair was covering her forehead, indeed, she must be careful as the other person inside the body was getting restless.
Hopefully, she could control it…
However, there was somebody who just could not bear to see Helian Wei Wei had better.
After the search, the issue of Su Yan Mo having to reflect on herself in public had become the joke of the community.
People of the community could not help but curled their lips whenever Su Yan Mo was mentioned. They despised her from the bottom of their hearts for her wicked-minded and extremely pretentious att.i.tude. Did it not end up shaming her husband’s family now that the issue had become serious?
On the other hand, the majority of them had changed their views on Helian Wei Wei.
This community would never be short of children with capability, but this was the first time a daughter made a great sensation when her stepmother had been punished.
As the frequency of mentioning Helian Wei Wei increased, occasionally, Helian Jiao Er would also become the topic in pa.s.sing.
Someone snorted, saying, “Before this, Helian Jiao Er seemed to be good as well, she was somewhat a kind child, but I didn’t expect her to fake all of that. The greatest talented woman in the Capital turned out to be an embroidered pillow, pleasant to the eye but of no use. She is far behind as compared to Helian Wei Wei. All of you must have not heard how well-received the Wei Ze World is, even the Retired Emperor needs her help in manufacturing weapons, just watch, one day the Helian Family would fall back into the hands of Helian Wei Wei!”
Sitting inside the carriage, the more Helian Guang Yao listened to the words outside, the darker his face became.
Since the issue of Su Yan Mo, he even felt a little awkward to leave the house. Although he still held the true power in his hands, it was hard to avoid others pointing and staring at him.
Other than that, more or less from the words spoken by a few powerful ones in the family, he was asked to watch out. The clan meeting was getting near, therefore, he could not screw it up at this timing.
Helian Guang Yao took a deep breath as his eyes darkened. He refused to believe that the unfilial daughter would live a good life for long!
If he did not remember it wrongly, then there were only a few days left until the time when the ministers would recommend selecting a secondary consort for the Third Prince. He wanted to see what other capabilities Helian Wei Wei has to show off in front of him once the prince has a new sweetheart!
Thinking of this, Helian Guang Yao curled his thin lips, he found something to be mentioned in today’s morning court…
Early morning.
Inside the Great Hall.
The Emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking at his sleepy expression. Everyone knew he had either practiced alchemy for too long last night, or he slept in the chamber of his consort again.
Emperor Murong was holding a grudge in his heart ever since the Empress was being banished into the Cold Palace.
Although the Retired Emperor said that it would only be a small punishment, Emperor Murong knew better than anyone else, once someone entered the Cold Palace, it would be really hard to get out.
He had never resented the incapability of an emperor as he did at this moment.
The reason why the Murong Residence had such a huge power was all thanks to the incapability of the Emperor, and now, on the face of it, this power was going to be destroyed by the lack of competency of the Emperor.
All of this was because the Emperor had a son with great abilities.
As long as Baili Jia Jue was around, his nephew would never get to inherit the throne.
The image of the Fifth Prince crying while looking for his mother yesterday in the residence crossed his mind. A hint of strong murderous aura flashed through the eyes of Emperor Murong. However, he did well in covering up this vicious aura because he knew that acting impulsively would not do any good when dealing with Baili Jia Jue.
“Emperor.” Helian Guang Yao kneeled on the floor, his voice rang through the whole palace hall.
Just when all the ministers thought he would plead innocence for his wife, Helian Guang Yao spoke loudly, “The birthday of the Third Price is just around the corner. As Third Prince is the crown prince appointed by the Retired Emperor, he should pick a woman endowed with both beauty and talent to serve him on his 20th birthday. I know it is not convenient for the other ministers to mention this, after all, the Third Princess Consort is my daughter so I know my daughter well. How could a woman without beauty be in favor for long? Instead of being loathed by the Third Prince later on, why not let the Third Prince choose a woman that he likes now.”
“This…” It was out of the Emperor’s expectation that Helian Guang Yao would suddenly suggest the selection of a secondary consort. All these years, the Emperor was in some ways, trying to reject his own third son, especially when he heard that two words – crown prince. In fact, although he was really incompetent, he was still greedy in the sense that he wanted to safeguard his own position. Still, he had immense fear toward the Retired Emperor…
While the Emperor was hesitating, Emperor Murong kneeled down as well, “Emperor, the crown prince must pick a beautiful and talented woman to a.s.sist him on his 20th birthday. This has been the custom for generations in our dynasty. It is apparent that the appearance of the Third Princess Consort is slightly not up to standard. The Third Prince must select someone else to be his secondary consort!”
The Emperor looked at the two honorable military ministers who were kneeling in the Great Hall. Each of them represented the power of a family, above all, the others followed suit and kneeled down after both of them had finished talking.
There was no other way, hence, he could only raise his hand, and said, “My beloved deputies, as you mentioned, Jue Er has indeed reached the right age, he ought to take in a secondary consort.”
Then, the Emperor looked toward the eunuch who was serving at the side, “Notify everyone, the Selection Ceremony will be held in three days, a woman endowed with both beauty and talent will become the secondary consort of the Third Prince.”
“Yes.” The eunuch took the orders and withdrew.
Having different thoughts in mind, Helian Guang Yao and Emperor Murong lowered their eyes, curling their lips into great evilness.
This time, with the appearance and capability of Yun Biluo, there was no doubt that Helian Wei Wei would be pulled down!
No matter how many tricks Helian Wei Wei had in store, sooner or later she would lose to her own dark and ugly face!
