The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  The imperial guards promptly answered "Yes." They have prepared everything according to the previous method.

  Wooden frame, fire, and steam cask.

  The man in white sitting on the second floor watched the movement below. His fingers stopped rotating the teacup, a ray of light flashed in his ruthless eyes.

  "Master." A shadow dropped and looked sideways at the window, "The other party moved too fast. Their shadow guards have already searched around the teahouse. We must leave at once."

  The man in white stood up and looked downstairs again. His eyes fell on Helian Wei Wei. "Investigate her information again and find out when she started to change."

  "Does the master suspect that she is not Helian Wei Wei at all?" The shadow raised his eyebrows.

  The man in white went downstairs, the shadow hit his face. All he could vaguely hear was a muffled sound, "I never believed that anyone could make such a big change in such a short time, unless..."

  Unless there's something behind it, the man didn't go on.

  The light fell.

  The meditating Helian Wei Wei withdrew her hand. Seven of the ten people had returned to their normal complexion.

  The remaining three were taken home, no matter how many imperial physicians treated them, one after another threw in the towel.

  Some people said that people who have been poisoned by bone-eroding poison wouldn't get through the day.

  Others said that this is self-inflicted retribution. In order not to affect their own power, they chose to hide the truth, sacrificing the lives of their grandchildren and granddaughters. It served them right.

  So, this time, no one said anything about Helian Wei Wei.

  She won the first place in martial qi tournament!

  This means that she is more of a genius than Helian Jiao Er!

  Although no one had seen yet what kind of her martial qi she had, she did indeed win the game!

  The elders of the Helian family now regretted that they had driven her out of the family. Otherwise, this honour would belong to them!

  As clever as Helian Wei Wei, how could she not see through their thoughts? When she reached out and took the fine silver box from the elder's hand, there was a slight trace of mockery on her face.

  That elder, who seldom smiled at Helian Wei Wei, was about to say something.

  From a distance, a majestic group of the embroidered uniform guard came. They handed over 10 boxes of gold and put them in front of Helian Wei Wei.

  It was so luxurious that almost everyone gasped!

  Who spent so lavishly?

  Helian Wei Wei subconsciously looked at Baili Jia Jue...

  Chapter 250 - His Majesty’s Betrothal Gifts

  Her glance seemed to be asking, what did these things mean?

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her. His voice was extremely weak, but could not hide his innate grace and dignity, "Those are betrothal gifts."

  Betrothal gifts?

  Everyone was stunned!

  Nearly all of them doubted whether there was something wrong with their ears!

  At this time, people just recalled that the world-famous third prince had chosen an imperial concubine not long ago. It seemed that they had said that whoever won the martial qi tournament would be chosen as the imperial concubine.

  But, but, but...

  Even though Helian Wei Wei was no longer a waste, she looked like that. They all thought the third prince would use her appearance to reject the marriage.

  They didn't expect this!

  His Third Highness actually ordered more than ten boxes of gold to be given to Helian Wei Wei!

  And he said that they were betrothal gifts!

  The crowd looked at the wooden boxes that glittered like gold. They were struck dumb.

  Was it true that whoever marries the third prince would have such gold?

  Heavens!

  What good luck did Helian Wei Wei have!

  Helian Wei Wei was a bit unresponsive, but it wasn't the gold that stunned her.

  It was the persistence of a certain Royal Highness in giving betrothal gifts…

  From before the martial arts tournament started, a certain Royal Highness seemed to have a strong affinity to these two words: "betrothal gifts".

  Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her willowy eyebrows. This hard to avoid situation led her to somewhat hesitate.

  Such hesitation, when seen by Baili Jia Jue, made the expression in his eyes change. A smile slowly appeared on his lips.

  The smile was a bit cold, reflected in his penetrating peach blossom eyes. At first glance, it made people feel a shocking evil, "What? You're not willing to accept them?"

  "It's not that I'm unwilling to accept it." Helian Wei Wei was quite distressed. "I don't know what to use as a dowry."

  Having said that, Helian Wei Wei felt a little uncomfortable. She never thought that one day she would discuss with a man in public the question of "betrothal gifts and bride dowry".

  Sure enough, when she looked up, His Third Highness wore a somewhat blank expression.

  In any case, they've talked about it. Helian Wei Wei didn't care about it, "Wait until before we get married, I will make it up for Your Highness."

  Baili Jia Jue grunted his assent, which carried a shallow evil aura that only she could see.

  Helian Wei Wei only felt an indescribable warmth on her cheeks. If she had known earlier, she would not say anything and just silently accepted the gifts.

  Looking at Helian Wei Wei's appearance, Murong Changfeng who was standing under the stage, clenched his fists tightly.

  She's getting married.

  And her husband was not him...

  He truly loathed her pestering, but he also did not want her to pester others.

  If... he didn't break his engagement at that time, would he be ... the man who became her husband?

  Once this idea is formed, Murong Changfeng felt as if there were countless ants climbing in his heart. It was an indescribably suffocating!

  The Retired Emperor was so happy that he said "Good," thrice in a row. He turned around and commanded, "Go and inform the Defense Division. Ten days later, a big wedding will be held!"

  Ten days? Wasn't it a bit rushed?

  Everyone took a quick glance. This was totally a forced marriage, ah!

  In all likelihood, the reason why the Third Highness married Helian Wei Wei was also because of the Retired Emperor.

  Not only did the insignificant people think so, but even the death knights who came out of the Ghost Palace think so.

  "Bai Mei, let's fly down and get rid of this woman for His Highness." A woman dressed in a black as night garb was hidden in a corner, her eyes glittered with jealousy.

  The woman called Bai Mei grabbed the woman in black and shook her head gently. "No, Hei Zhu! You'll spoil His Highness's plan by doing so!"

  "Your Highness is clearly unwilling to let such an ugly woman enter the palace!" Hei Zhu grasped the sword in her hand tightly.

  Bai Mei frowned, "No one can make His Highness do what he would not like to do, and we have not followed His Highness during this period. We do not know the situation at all, so Hei Zhu, you should not interfere in this matter."

  "But His Highness's heart clearly only has Eldest Sister. There is no reason to choose a dark and ugly woman. You just saw her means, that kind of viciousness, your Highness would not like such a woman at all!" Hei Zhu said indignantly and wanted to fly down right away!

  Shadow moved and stood in front of her with an indignant glare, "Bai Mei said right, no one can make His Highness do what he does not want, I advise you, it is best to restrain those thoughts. Do not mention those things in the past in front of the Princess. His Highness would not care about those over ten years of old affections. This time His Highness calls you back to protect the princess, day and night before she gets married."

  "Princess?" Hei Zhu sneered: "She also deserves to be a princess?"

  After that, she turned around and left. Her
appearance was so contemptuous that Shadow could not help but gaze.

  Nobody noticed in the surge of crowds. Just under the crowded stage, a man in a long white robe slightly squinted. When he looked at Helian Wei Wei, a dark glint emerged in his eyes.

  As if noticing the presence of the line of sight, Helian Wei Wei swiftly turned around. She only saw inside the enthusiastic crowd, a man in white flew fast, leaving only a view of his back like watery spilt ink...

  Half an hour later.

  He believed firmly that Helian Jiao Er would certainly win, so Helian Guang Yao did not rush to the scene. The shock flashed on his face made his whole face look a little stiff. It was inconceivable, he could not imagine, but was definitely not surprised!

  Eunuch Sun held the white floating duster in one hand and the imperial edict in the other. After reading, his mouth was still smiling. When he saw Helian Guang Yao's response, he was only a little surprised. He soon smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Excellency, happiness is coming to the Defense Division estate. All your three daughters are going to marry."

  Su Yanmo, however, seemed to have not heard what Eunuch Sun said next. She pressed her fingers on the maid's arm tightly and even the muscles on her face were incomparably stiff. "It's impossible, how can Jiao Er lose! That's impossible!" With that, she raised her head. "Eunuch Sun, is this Imperial Decree wrong? How can the Retired Emperor do this? How can he marry Jiao Er to a castrate?"

  Su Yanmo always understood how to hide her emotions. However, today, she forgot the propriety and questioned the genuineness of the imperial edict. Even her voice was ear-piercingly sharp.

  It's just unlike her.

  The daughter whom she raised with the utmost care is now going to marry a castrate, how could she accept this?

  Sun Yan Mo braced her head in a daze, and the maid standing next to her quickly reached out to hold her.

  Eunuch Sun, however, was indifferent and carried the imperial decree, "Madame Su's meaning is to blame the Retired Emperor?"

  "Eunuch Sun, my wife absolutely did not mean that!" Helian Guang Yao quickly opened his mouth and explained, but his heart seemed to be crushed by a huge stone.

  Chapter 251 - Before The Big Wedding

  Eunuch Sun was a very intuitive person, and he had guess what the two of them were up to in an instant. He had accepted money from Helian Guang Yao on many occasions, and besides, he was the relative of the princess consort, so he gave him some advice: "Sir, I am not trying to be nosey, but this is your blood relation after all, you can't be too partial. If you're not careful, disaster will befall from heaven."

  "Eunuch Sun's words are wise, Eunuch Sun's words are wise." Helian Guang Yao held a smile, but his within his heart was already billowing in waves.

  After Eunuch Sun had left.

  Helian Guang Yao sat down heavily onto the wooden chair. Su Yan Mo shoved the servant girl out of the way viciously: "Master, our Jiao Er cannot marry into the the Huai family."

  "Just because you say no means no? It is the imperial edict of the Emperor!" Helian Guang Yao roared, then sighed deeply: "Forget it. With the way things are now, we can only bring her home."

  Crash!

  The teacup in Helian Guang Yao's hand fell to the ground.

  "Have you finished with your nonsense! Do you think that I want to bring her home?" Helian Guang Yao's face was gloomier than usual: "Once she comes back, it is likely that those people who tend to follow wind will change. Don't you forget, the hidden army the old man left behind years ago is still here. Before his death, he ordered those people to appear again to help Helian Wei Wei fight for her status in the household if she were to stay in the household till she was sixteen years old! But what else can I do now? Not allow her to return home? She is now the champion of the martial qi competition and has married into the royal family. Not to mention the elders, even the officials of the court will make use of this matter and bury me! My control of the military power will thoroughly disappear!" After he had spoken, Helian Guang Yao calmed down: "You go to speak to the Prime Minister, and ask him about Jiao Er's marriage. See if he is able to put in a few good words. All this time that you have watched that girl, when did she get martial qi?"

  Su Yan Mo shook her head and felt her body go weak. She had never expected that under her watchful eyes, that little c.o.c.kroach would have a trick up her sleeve!

  Logically, all her martial qi should have been severed, how could it be preserved till this day! Moreover, the elders had sent people to inform her that they had dealt with her..... How did she survive, and appear at the martial qi competition! No matter what, the girl just would not die! It was not like the Helian Wei Wei that she had known back then!

  "Master, I think that there is something amiss with the s.l.u.t." Su Yan Mo played with the buddha bead in her hands: "She didn't use to be like this. She has completely changed since the day she fell into the water. Do you think something happened that day that we do not know about?"

  "It is really strange." Helian Guang Yao did not understand how that damaged daughter of his had become so powerful all of a sudden.

  Su Yan Mo eyes narrowed, a look of evil scattered across: "She doesn't look like a fake. It's more so her personality has changed. When I was young, I heard people talk about the possession by fox fairies..."

  "Fox fairy possession, you mean she is likely taken over by evil spirits?" Helian Guang Yao raised his eyebrows, his eyes glimmered.

  "Yes." Su Yan Mo looked down, her evil intentions oozed out: "If that is the case, then she not only cannot return to the Defence Division household, but she will be thrown into jail. In the Dragon War Empire, in the trial of the sacrificed family, no one would allow a person who has been possessed to marry into the royal family and become princess consort! As long as we spread the news of this matter at the right time, you don't have to worry about the hidden army!"

  Helian Guang Yao straightened his back: "You mean to say on her wedding day….."

  "She has caused our Jiao Er to be in such a pitiful state and she wants to marry happily into the royal family? Hmph, dream on! Jiao Er has been in love with the Third Prince since she was young, if there were to be a wedding, it should be Jiao Er who is the bride! That s.l.u.t does not know what's good for her, she can't blame me for being ruthless!"

  Keching!

  Helian Wei Wei had finished making the last of the armamats and displayed them on the table. This can be the betrothal gift for the Third Prince.

  She stood up and stretched, and yawned as she walked out. She looked at the white and black death knights and said: "You go back to the palace and tell the Third Prince that I have a matter to discuss."

  Bai Mei was going to nod her head.

  The identical Hei Zhu smiled coldly and said: "Miss should concentrate on preparing the betrothal gift. There will be matters that need seeing to and he won't be able to find time to come. Whatever it is, just tell His Highness when you see him."

  Upon hearing that, Helian Wei Wei slowly narrowed her eyes and looked at her with her arms across her c.h.e.s.t. She did not speak, and only smiled.

  Bai Mei stepped forward: "It is true that His Highness is busier at the moment. After the Retired Emperor was poisoned, His Highness has been looking into this matter. However, if Princess Consort wishes to see High Highness, no doubt he will come over. I will go to inform His Highness now."

  Helian Wei Wei looked at her but still did not speak.

  Hei Zhu squirmed: "Bai Mei, our mission is to protect Miss, not be at her beck and call. We are His Highness' servants, if we do things that do not conform to our identities, we will be causing problems for His Highness."

  Bai Mei thought that these words were too harsh.

  Helian Wei Wei spoke, her voice faint and sorrowful: "I am unable to order His Highness' servants about. Why don't you make the trip personally?"

  Eunuch Sun touched his white hair.

  He had spent the last few days getting to know the Princess Consort.
He knew better than anyone else that although she did not look great, she was indeed elegant and intelligent. She was always polite to people who did not provoke her. But if one were to provoke her…...

  Eunuch Sun thought about the ending for those people before and inexplicably shuddered. His white eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Hei Zhu. He assessed the situation and couldn't help but found it funny.

  Afraid?

  Calculating the conspiracy, she was not able to order the servants to do her bidding, so she asked him to make a trip instead. It was not that she had a gentle temperament. She could not be bothered to fight with a maid. Of course His Highness would know exactly what the Princess Consort meant.. She was obviously making a statement to him that the servants he sent to her do not do her bidding, so he better send them back where they came from!

  Chapter 252 - His Highness’ Thoughts

  "Ah Jue, you will be married soon." After they had discussed business, Nangong Lie put down the teacup that was in his hand and smiled evilly: "What do you feel in your heart?"

  He had finally caught his prey, he could not have lost interest already.

  Baili Jiajue only smiled coldly as he sat on the wooden chair, he somewhat suffocated, more than usual. He reached out and loosened his collar, his smile full of mockery: "You can also marry once and try it out."

  "Don't" Nangong Lie coughed heavily: "Don't you shift your thoughts onto me. I am not like Master Hei who didn't know any better that to get involved with the prey you had your eyes on. And to have two gold cards, one engraved with Profound and the other engraved with Heaven."

  "You indeed are not stupid." Baili Jiajue's voice was faint as he stood up. He walked over to the mural and with a wave of his sleeve, the mural opened up and revealed a beautiful, luxurious royal bed."

  Nangong Lie laughed and said: "Oh Look, you're not intending to put her on this bed on your wedding night are you?"

  "Maybe….." Baili Jiajue drawled.

  Nangong Lie shook his head and laughed: "Yes, this is the first time a woman had caught your ingenious eyes, it is not surprising for her to be upgraded to a household pet."
