  "In order to start afresh." Helian Wei Wei smiled shallowly: "My main purpose is revenge, and Third Prince's is to appease the Retired Emperor. After this, I will be able to enjoy my freedom ."

  Helian Wei Wei was speaking the truth. She did not intend to stay in the palace forever, it was not as interesting as her forming a armamat machine gun team.

  However, she has to be careful and not allow everyone to see her flaw in the world.

  Before she is able to retake her family in revenge, she has to stay and develop in the palace!

  Not just to develop, but to also assist Baili Jia Jue to attain the supreme position.

  Hei Ze's eyes lit up, a look of relief came over him: "It's good that this is your intention." He was worried that she would get in too deep and not be able to get out of it.

  That woman was going to be able soon. By then, there will be no place in the palace for Helian Wei Wei.

  Helian Wei Wei was keenly aware of the meaning in his words: " What do you mean by saying this?"

  Hei Ze wanted to speak.

  There was a roar from the wall: "That foul boy! Where has he gone again now!"

  Hei Ze's expression changed and pressed his forehead like he had a headache: "I will go first. See you another day."

  "Okay." Helian Wei Wei held back a smile. The scene of the overbearing young master looking deflated was great.

  As she was deep in thought, she was about to turn around when she heard footsteps behind her. Crunching in the snow, the sound was so obvious.

  Not sure if it was the air from the approaching person was so strong, or the night wind was blowing harder, but the cool air cause the bones to become frozen stiff, and Helian Wei Wei could not help but shivered.

  He looked at her, his eyes cold and exquisite, like a vampire prince who had just stepped out of a painting, the side of his silver face was like broken ice, exquisite and perfect.

  Helian Wei Wei's fingers were stiff, especially under the ice-like sight. She believed that if it were someone else, they would also feel the cold.

  However, she did not know how much of the conversation did His Highness overhear…..

  Baili Jia Jue spoke, his voice faint like ice flowing, directed at Shadow by his side: "Go to Old Master Hei, in regards to the arranged marriage Grandfather has for the Nalan family seventh daughter, ask Old Master Hei if a suitable candidate has been chosen yet."

  "Yes." Shadow retreated.

  Helian Wei Wei frowned, an arranged marriage for the seventh daughter of the Nalan family? Is this his way of forcing Hei Ze to his death?

  Looks like his childhood sweetheart is the seventh daughter of the Nalan family.

  "I thought that you should be in the boudoir at this time waiting to be married, not appearing by the wall of the Hei family residence." The low, steady, slightly magnetic hoarse voice rang, like golden quicksand slowly slipping over her ear, with the same texture as a cold metal.

  Helian Wei Wei did not know how to respond.

  "You've come out when it is so late, did you not think that once I could not find you at the academy, I would look everywhere else for you?"

  This time, his background was that of a lush forest, the green and black pigments mixed together in the dark night melancholy.

  This man should be a negotiator, his methods were not the same as his handsome appearance. Don't be misled by his elegance, this kind of person did not use mediocre methods.

  For example, now, Helian Wei Wei felt like she had done something wrong.

  Speaking of which, she really should not have come out three days before the big wedding.

  However, does this mean that her conversation with Hei Ze earlier was not overheard by him.

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her, if it weren't because it was confirmed there was nothing between the two of them, if it weren't because he had tested Hei Ze and knew that he was unable to let go of his childhood sweetheart, when he saw the scene before him..

  He was afraid that he would have killed Hei Ze.

  No one can touch his prey.

  Moreover when it is deep in the night.

  And, it's so late, why did she come to look for Hei Ze?

  Even if something had happened, should she not come to look for him, her fiance instead?

  Chapter 258 - The Day Of The Wedding

  "Hahaha, you've been caught woman, let's see how you are going to explain yourself." Yuan Ming laughed and gloated.

  Helian Wei Wei frowned and cut off communication with him. She looked up at Baili Jia Jue: "It's it said that the bride and groom can't see each other three days before the wedding? I didn't think you would go to the academy." She remembered there was such a rule in the ancient times.

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her, the ring on his finger that seemed to be made of jade followed his movements and reflected the light from the ice and snow: "So you felt the peace of mind to come out and meet someone else?"

  His tone was cold, so much so that when Helian Wei Wei heard his question she couldn't help but cough.

  Baili Jia Jue looked at her choked expression but was indifferent.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him seriously: "We were just having an innocent chat."

  "Innocent chat?" Baili Jia Jue sneered, unconvinced.

  Helian Wei Wei snorted, anyway, she had said all that she could.

  It was said that there was a smile in Baili Jia Jue's eyes.

  Just that the smile was a bit cold, reflected in the shallow waves in his eyes, it appeared very moving. At first glance, it gave people a thrilling feeling.

  He leaned over suddenly, his long slender fingers moved her long hair aside, his manly cold breath shrouded over her in a moment, his long voice beside her ear: "Tell me if you think your Highness will believe your words."

  "Basic trust should be maintained between people at all times." Helian Wei Wei met his gaze, smile in her eyes: "Not to mention that we are about to be married, the words are all there."

  Baili Jia Jue's gaze fell onto her fair neck with a smile: "You are right, we are about to be married."

  Helian Wei Wei frowned. Why did it seem that a simple statement never sounded the same coming out of His Highness' mouth.

  "Shadow, take the Princess home." Baili Jia Jue took his hand away, his long body stood upright, his expression was indifferent. But his eyes were dark and deep, which made Helian Wei Wei think that he was up to something.

  It got darker, and the night wind whistled, the trees swayed back and forth, like an invisible big hand, slowly approaching the quiet country.

  In the darkness, Su Yanmo looked left and right, the servant girl held her steady as she walked into an abandoned courtyard. There was a person standing in the courtyard walking back and forth, as if thinking about something.

  Upon seeing Su Yanmo walking over, her eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared across her face: "Madam Su!"

  "Shhh." Su Yanmo put a finger up to her lips as she whispered softly and turned back to look at the servant girl behind her.

  The servant girl knew to stand outside the courtyard to give them privacy.

  Everything was going on in secret.

  The person was not just anyone, but the wedding nanny in charge of Helian Wei Wei's wedding sedan.

  The wedding nanny was elated at seeing Su Yanmo and tried her best to lower her voice: "Rest assure Madam Su, old slave has prepared everything according to your instructions. On the day of the wedding, old slave will coordinate..."

  "That's good." Su Yanmo smiled coldly, a hint of hatred clear in her expression.

  That vile spawn ruined both her daughters at the same time. How could she swallow this breath if she didn't teach her a lesson.

  Once the eminent monks use their powers, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger, and no doubt the Third Prince will take her life!

  Deeper into the night.

  However, mercenaries had come twice bearing news about the plight of the Helian family. The elders probably wanted her to return
but Helian Guangyao was not willing. Helian Wei Wei was not in a rush. She had given 100,000 to the mercenaries and told them to make arrangements as they saw fit.

  She always believed that money makes the world go round. She would like to see how long Helian Guangyao could hold out.

  Oh, to spit out something that you've already put into your mouth, the feeling must be bad.

  However, Helian Guangyao, don't you forget that all your have now once belonged to my mother, including the dowry for your daughter!

  You think that it will be fine.

  How could it be?

  She had only just begun...

  "Woman, no matter how you deal with Helian Guangyao, sooner or later you will have to face the four big families." Yuan Ming said evilly: "With your current ability, it will be difficult to go up against them. Those old men are ruthless when they have to deal with things. Even us demons can't stand it."

  Helian Wei Wei finished making the last armament and said lightly: "Yes, you do know them very well. However, Yuan Xiaoming, you don't know me well enough."

  Two days later.

  Marriage in the prosperous age, welcoming relatives for ten miles.

  The wedding robe Baili Jia Jue wore was made with attention to detail, embroidered with the purple dragon intertwining. Even the cuffs were made with the most complicated golden fringes. It showed his rich and prosperous status.

  His posture was tall and handsome, his face was clear and beautiful. There was a piece of horse rope in his slender fair hands, his slender legs were on either side of the horse. The red colour of the wedding robes made his face appear even fairer. His sleeves blew up in the north wind, it made him look like a royal god arriving from a faraway land.

  Behind him was a large red wedding sedan that was lifted up by eight people, it occupied nearly half the street.

  The commoners rushed to look on their tiptoes, a sigh of surprise left their mouths….

  Helian Wei Wei was still sat in the wedding room. She was probably the first girl from a prominent family who had no parents to send her off on her wedding day.

  However, she did not feel anything. Therefore, she did not inform the Master Supreme participating in a martial qi competition about the news of her wedding.

  She was sat on a wooden chair lazily and let the servants comb her hair, yawning from time to time.

  Bai Mei couldn't help but glance over at her. She didn't want to admit it, but this Helian Wei Wei was indeed different. She had never seen anyone so relaxed before their wedding.

  What's more, she was marrying Master, the one who could stand in the clouds. At this point, she was afraid even her sister was no match for her.

  "I don't need to wear those cloth wraps, they make me tired." Helian Wei Wei leaned back and her slender legs tapped the floorboards in a rhythm. Casual and elegant. No one dared to say anything.

  The wedding nanny looked on and thought, her figure is not bad but her face is too dark. No many how much powder was applied, it was useless. It was unlucky the Third Prince could bear it, he probably didn't have a choice.

  Chapter 259 - The Dashing Wei Wei

  "Eldest Miss, don't blame this old woman for being talkative." The old matchmaker was speaking while also holding something for her. "It is common that in the young master's house there are one or two servant girls. They are to be around His Highness. You are a married woman, already a big girl. This matter, ah, you have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages."

  Hearing those words, Helian Wei Wei chuckled softly. She waited for the word 'serving' from ancient times that were pleasant to hear but it held another meaning - maid concubine.

  The woman who was assigned to protect her earlier seemed to carry a whiff of jealousy.

  Did they truly think that Helian Wei Wei didn't know anything?

  However, this old matchmaker chose to say these things at a moment like this.

  Was it to make her upset?

  Helian Wei Wei opened her eyes and glanced at the old woman.

  Her quick glance made the matchmaker feel like her scalp grew numb. She took her hand back embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, it's not early anymore. Eldest Miss, please get on the bridal sedan chair shortly."

  Helian Wei Wei stretched lazily. Her b.a.r.e toes, which were dyed red with cinnabar, stepped on the wooden floor. It gave a sense of beauty that can't be expressed with words. "Matchmaker, don't follow me. I don't like to see your face."

  The old nanny was frozen to the spot, her smiling face stiff. "Eldest Miss, which words did this old woman say to make you unhappy? This old woman can change. Without a matchmaker to accompany the bridal sedan chair, I'm afraid this doesn't conform to the rules."

  The old nanny thought that she still had a chance and wanted to say something.

  But then she heard Helian Wei Wei continued speaking, "Withdraw. This is an auspicious day. I don't want to hear anyone telling me that it's against the rules."

  "Yes." The guards moved in a flash.

  The old matchmaker disappeared from the room.

  Helian Wei Wei's expression was unchanged. With both hands stretched out, she dr.a.p.ed the wedding dress on her body.

  Bai Mei watched her walk in that indolent and casual fashion. After thinking briefly, she opened her mouth, "Princess, your Highness does not have a maid concubine."

  Helian Wei Wei looked sideways and suddenly smiled, "I know."

  Bai Mei was stunned, "How does the Princess know?"

  "Somebody who has mysophobia won't tolerate anyone touching him as they please. Let's talk about it later." Helian Wei Wei paused, and the corners of her lips were curved, "There must be maid concubine's page boy."

  Bai Mei knitted her brows. What maid concubine's page boy?

  However, as a matter of fact, the empress put her elder sister to His Highness' side as a maid concubine. But...

  Forget it. She's thinking too much.

  "Bai Mei."

  A clear and languid voice came to her ears.

  Bai Mei didn't expect that Helian Wei Wei would remember her name. She looked over at Wei Wei.

  She saw that person stretching out her hands, straightening the lapels of her jacket, and c.o.c.ked her head to look at her. Those gestures were very dashing. "This big wedding is His Highness' and mine. If something bad happened, the one who loses face is His Highness."

  Bai Mei fingers stiffened. She didn't dare to dawdle and respectfully responded with a "Yes!"

  Fortunately, she thought, Hei Zhu was not here. They all misjudged this woman.

  Perhaps her means were not inferior to those of His Highness...

  "The auspicious time arrived!"

  Outside, the jubilant sound of drums and trumpets rang out.

  Wearing the red covering veil on her head, Helian Wei Wei was carried on somebody's back to the sedan chair.

  Baili Jia Jue rode on a horse in front. His fingers were long and slender, his nails were translucent pink and his body was awash with an aura of elegant nobility.

  More than half of the women in the street have their eyes glued to his figure.

  Both admiration and envy were reflected on those spectators' eyes.

  Although Helian Wei Wei was no longer a waste, she was able to marry the Third Prince with that kind of looks. How can people not be jealous?

  Helian Jiao Er gritted her teeth in a silent fury. She watched such a magnificent wedding with a malicious gaze. She slipped slowly beside Helian Wei Wei's sedan chair.

  In a few moments.

  A marvellous scene would be staged.

  Hehe...she really couldn't wait to see that scene.

  Helian Wei Wei did not see these things at all. Her head was covered with a red silk veil. She was listening to the sound of trumpets and drums while holding a big red apple in her hand.

  Getting married is a tiring affair, not to mention getting married to a prince. The rites involved were very complicated and more numerous than cow's hair.

  Helian Wei Wei
's body swayed. She felt like she was going to fall asleep and yawned from time to time.

  Bai Mei followed the sedan chair, always paying attention to the surrounding movements.

  Yuan Ming felt bored and asked, "Woman, how does getting married feel like?"

  "Tiring." Helian Wei Wei could not move with the phoenix crown on her head. Her neck was crushed under its weight. She was trying to loosen her joints and relax.

  Suddenly her ears caught a constant barrage of unclear words of prayer and exorcism. Both rang out simultaneously.

  Helian Wei Wei knew that it's not appropriate to lift the curtain now, so she just gently lifted her eyebrows.

  But Yuan Ming stood up anxiously, "This is the exorcism spell!"

  "Exorcism spell?" Helian Wei Wei frowned. "What's that?"

  Yuan Ming's eyes squinted. "This is a spell to let the evil spirit manifest. I can keep resisting it now, but after you come out of the sedan chair and getting close to the monks who chant the spell, I certainly won't be able to hide and swallow them all up! According to the truth, you shouldn't say this kind of incantation on the day of the big wedding. Woman, you've guessed it right, some people are beginning to doubt whether you have been possessed. They want to catch you on the day of the big wedding."

  Helian Wei Wei was silent.

  Standing not far away, Su Yan Mo looked at the bridal sedan chair approaching the Xuanwu Gate, and could not help but stand on tiptoe. Where was the matchmaker?

  Why was she missing?

  Based on the original plan, once the chants started she was supposed to lift up the curtain and help Helian Wei Wei out of the bridal sedan chair.

  The absence of the matchmaker undoubtedly left a hole in the plan.

  However, Su Yan Mo was not worried. That little vile spawn could not hide in the sedan chair forever. As long as she came down, even if supported by the Third Prince, she would certainly reveal its real form!

  "Woman, how about we just create a havoc and completely fall to the dark side?" Yuan Ming licked his lips. Actually, these old monks still whetted his appetite.

  Helian Wei Wei took the apple away and said, "If you don't eat, you won't have to think about the consequences. I don't want to turn into a demon."
