The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Of course, she was not saying that Baili Jia Jue had the tendency of becoming a serial killer.

  Anyway...

  Helian Wei Wei did not know the reason why her face was suddenly burning, but she cleared her throat and spoke, "I heard from people around that you had treated Yun Biluo differently since you were young? Why did you not just keep her as your prey?"

  "She was a servant arranged by my Queen Mother." Baili Jia Jue gave a short answer at first, then he continued casually, "Moreover, I did not like to keep prey when I was young, I was only interested in killing people."

  Helian Wei Wei...Your Highness, what kind of childhood did you actually have?

  Baili Jia Jue realized that Helian Wei Wei did not say anything, so he thought that she felt embarrassed about what he had done. His smile became colder, "Why, do you feel uncomfortable after knowing all these?"

  "No." After Helian Wei Wei answered Baili Jia Jue, involuntarily she thought of Young Master Tang. Unless it was not a choice, nobody would be willing to learn how to kill at a young age. After much thought, she added, "I know that the palace is not an ordinary place, you were just trying to protect yourself."

  Baili Jia Jue stood in amazement, not because of anything, it was just that the lady in front of him was patting his head as she uttered those words.

  Therefore, the prey he had an eye for was indeed interesting.

  It was too interesting to the extent that he did not want to let her go anymore.

  "Which part of your body is hurting?" Baili Jia Jue asked as he moved his fingers.

  Helian Wei Wei stopped him immediately. "You don't need to unlock me, but I have to tell you that my gown might be stained because of my period."

  No matter how ignorant Baili Jia Jue was toward the sufferings of people, he knew what a period was. Furrowing his brows together, he got off the bed.

  Helian Wei Wei had no idea what he was going to do, but he really did not unlock her before leaving.

  She was too lazy to struggle too, especially after speculating about Baili Jia Jue's thoughts.

  It would only be a waste of her stamina if she kept up with the struggles.

  Although she wished to tell Baili Jia Jue desperately that she was a human and a totally different type of being than the Fire Qilin, she guessed that even if she did voice out her opinion, His Highness would not understand her anyway.

  It was more realistic for her to have a good sleep instead.

  Helian Wei Wei turned sideways and kept her hands on her abdomen. She was feeling rather sick, with cold sweat running down her forehead as if she was floating in the air.

  After that, she heard intermittent noises from outside, hoping that they could keep it down, but she was too tired to speak.

  Just let them be.

  Baili Jia Jue definitely would not run around aimlessly, he had directly invited the imperial physician over.

  The imperial physician had seen many patients over the years, but this was the first time that he was summoned because of menstruation. He was too shy to take Helian Wei Wei's pulse, so he only spoke to Baili Jia Jue obediently, "His Highness, whenever a woman has her period and catch a cold, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. You…"

  "She is in pain." With an emotionless tone, Baili Jia Jue interrupted the imperial physician.

  The imperial physician could feel the numbness in his scalp just by looking at Baili Jia Jue's stare, he reached out to wipe his forehead, "Well… it is undeniable that some would suffer more."

  "Is there any solution?" Baili Jia Jue's frown deepened, creating heavy tension in the air.

  The imperial physician thought for a while, "This young lady might feel better if she were to drink some ginger syrup."

  "Might?" Apparently Baili Jia Jue was not satisfied with his reply, "Please provide her a prescription that is able to remove the source of the pain."

  Chapter 330 - His Highness' Gentleness

  Baili Jia Jue looked at the imperial physician who was standing next to him motionlessly and uttered, "What a quack!"

  Quack... A quack?!

  To believe that he had been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and he had gained a substantial amount of prestige when he was with the Retired Emperor, but now he was being accused as a quack for mere menstrual pain…

  The imperial physician who felt wrongly accused began to look up at the beam and shed tears.

  Baili Jia Jue looked down and no one knew what he was thinking about, and eventually, he frowned and began to give instruction to the imperial physician, "You, go and buy some ginger."

  The imperial physician gave out a cry.

  Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you say that she needs to drink brown sugar syrup with shredded ginger?"

  The imperial physician was agitated by Baili Jia Jue's gaze who made him appear like an id*ot. Since he thought he was a quack, why did he still utilize the method that he mentioned?

  Baili Jia Jue sat next to the soft couch. He seemed to have recalled something, hence he threw the outerwear he put on today to Shadow. "Take this away and burn it."

  "Yes." Now, Shadow dared not ask about the reason anymore, even if this outerwear was freshly made today, and the fabric was the most expensive silk from Suhang.

  Since His Highness was disgusted and felt that it was dirty, then it could only be burnt.

  Helian Wei Wei was still asleep, and her slightly wet black hair scattered on her small face, making her look like a little beast with soft claws that was trapped.

  Baili Jia Jue thought that he would enjoy seeing her in this state at first because she could only be peaceful in such a condition.

  However, he felt that this was annoying.

  He raised her wrist with his finger and it hung limply.

  Inexplicably, he found this extremely unpleasing.

  When the imperial physician pictured this scene, he was hesitant to bring in the sugar syrup.

  "Noted." The doctor knew that he would be considered insensible to such a situation if he chose to stay at this moment. After putting the bowl down, he left with his head down.

  Baili Jia Jue took the porcelain bowl and drank a sip of the sugar syrup without thinking about anything. Then, he leaned down, and he put his thin lips on her pale lips, transmitting the sugar syrup to her...

  Qing Zhan who was still serving at the side left the room stiffly upon laying her eyes on this scene.

  Helian Wei Wei was partially asleep, all she could sense was the strength from the huge hands around her waist which was making her feel very comfortable.

  Coupled with the surrounding aroma of sandalwood that she was familiar with, she slept even more soundly.

  Baili Jia Jue held Helian Wei Wei in his arms together with the blanket. His long legs were slightly raised, and the robe was scattered around him, causing him to look even more dashing.

  "No matter what, you won't be able to leave me..." he said after a long time. Suddenly, he grasped Helian Wei Wei tightly, capturing her weak body temperature. His eyes echoed his loneliness although he held the power of controlling the world...

  The night gradually drew in, and the wind blew from all directions of the mountain, bringing along a bitter chill.

  Everything was quiet at this moment, and there was complete silence around the General's residence except the cry of defeat from Helian Jiao Er. "What should I do, Mother? This time, I have nothing left, to marry the Huai'an eunuch, I am better off dead!"

  When Helian Jiao Er returned, they had no idea who the Huai's had listened to. They blocked the entrance of the General's residence, claiming that they wanted to marry the bride.

  Helian Jiao Er was forced to this extent, so she could only silence the scandals by marrying into the Huai family.

  There were no other ways at all.

  Madam Su bit her teeth; she extremely hated Helian Wei Wei, but she could not figure out anything.

  Helian Guang Yao looked at the mother and daughter with his squint
ed pair of eyes. He did not want to care about the internal affairs of his household initially, but now if he was not going to take care of it, his dearest daughter was really going to be destroyed.

  This was not the main reason.

  All along, Helian Guang Yao had always hoped that Helian Jiao Er could marry into a good family, so she was being taken care of carefully since she was young.

  All of that had been ruined by this person now.

  If he still did not take any action, then that girl might really ride on his head!

  He thought for a long time and then opened his mouth in a serious tone, "Jiao Er is the reincarnation of Phoenix girl, whether or not she marries a good family will have an impact on the four families. Madam, now you can ask someone to go to the Spirit Shrine Hall, and ask the elders to come forward to convince the Huai's. As long as the Huai's take the initiative to annul the marriage, I, Helian Guang Yao will give him a satisfactory compensation."

  "You mean to let The Huai's annul the marriage?" Madam Su was stunned, "But if we were to do so, won't our Jiao Er be considered as a rejected girl from a marriage?"

  Helian Guang Yao glanced at her. "This is the only thing that we can do now. It is better to be rejected from marriage than to marry into the Huai family. Additionally, even if the marriage is annulled, after about ten days, I can take the real control of the General's residence as well as the entire Helian family. Jiao Er is my daughter and she has the support of the four families. Who else would not want to marry her in the future?"

  Su Yan Mo felt that it made sense, and immediately called upon someone and carefully gave some instructions, before she commented, "Old Master, I really don't understand why Wei Wei would always want to fight with our Jiao Er, and every time she hurt her so much. I am a mother, and I am angry and irritated, but I can't figure out a way to deal with her. Old Master, you once said that her life must be kept because after all, even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. However, look at Wei Wei's current position, she must have hated us to the extent that she wants to make us miserable in every way. I heard my brother said that not only Jiao Er became like this, but she had also even stirred up trouble for the Su family's business in Jiangnan. Old Master, you can't just let her be like this anymore."

  "Yes, father, you can't condone her like this anymore!" Helian Jiao Er burst into tears and looked pitifully. "She has not had enough by hurting the Third Sister, and now she still wants to do me harm. She always thought that you treated her badly, but she doesn't even think about the fact that if it was not for our father, she would have already starved to death by the roadside! In fact, I don't want to blame the Elder Sister for these things, but she has really gone too far!"

  "I know." Helian Guang Yao raised his eyes and said, "Previously, you said that the girl's soul had been replaced by someone else, I have always placed this matter on my mind. I have already contacted someone to help me check on it. There is already some information found, and the contact has also entered the White Academy. As for other matters, that girl wants to interfere with family discussion right? I have already made plans in advance. It is very simple to bribe a few elders, not to mention that I am the only one who may have a military rank. Even if the girl has the Third Prince behind her back, it will not help much. You can just wait and see, how she will be isolated during the family meeting on that day. She thought that she could seize the position with brawn and martial arts? Oh well, I will definitely not grant her this opportunity."

  As Su Yan Mo heard this, she smiled happily, "Old Master, I know that you always have the best idea!"

  Does the little rascal have the chance to take back the General's residence?

  No way!

  Chapter 331 - His Highness Needed To Calm Down

  After Helian Jiao Er saw it had been solved, she finally stopped crying.

  As expected, after the four families came forward, the Huai's no longer said anything. After all, their son had already married a daughter from the Helian's family.

  If they did not take the money, then they must be a fool.

  So, they instructed the person who came to fetch the bride to leave the General's residence.

  However, Helian Jiao Er was still disconsolate. This was because she had fallen from being a prominent and most talented lady in the Capital to a lady who had been rejected from a marriage, and her father had given so much money to them.

  How could she just let it go!

  However...

  "Mother, you have underestimated the Third Prince. In fact, he was not affected by Yun Biluo at all. Have we assumed wrongly?"

  Su Yan Mo patted her hand, "Who said that he was not affected? If you think about it carefully, if someone that had been around you for so many years always disappears and reappears all of a sudden on his own whims and fancies, you must surely be unhappy. You see, this time the Third Prince obviously did not forget Yun Biluo. Since he has not forgotten her, then there is still hope."

  "Jiao Er," Su Yan Mo's tone was faint, "She is the Third Princess Consort, and you have taken too little consideration this time when you challenged the authority of the Third Princess Consort in public. The authority of the Royal Family is powerful, these words should not be casually spoken. People like the Third Prince, of course, will not allow anyone to look down on the princess consort that was chosen by him."

  Helian Jiao Er took a deep breath unwillingly, "Then mother, what should I do?"

  "You shall not go to the academy these few days, and it is also inappropriate for me to attend the gatherings in the Capital recently. Let's wait until your father removes the name of the little rascal from the family tree, then everything will be fine." Su Yan Mo c.a.r.e.s.sed Helian Jiao Er's long hair with her eyes facing toward Helian Guang Yao.

  Some time ago, her business was in a complete mess, and she did not have much money in hand. Additionally, she did not even know what Helian Guang Yao was doing recently.

  She always felt that he was hiding something from her.

  Perhaps she was too suspicious, as when she went and visited the ladies these past few days, she always felt that they had something to say. The feeling of being criticized made her feel very uncomfortable.

  She wanted to talk to Helian Guang Yao, but she could not find time to do so.

  See, when they had just finished their discussion, someone whispered something in Helian Guang Yao's ear.

  Helian Guang Yao stood up and faced Helian Jiao Er and Su Yan Mo, which he said, "There are still imperial court matters to attend to, I have to go now."

  The housekeeper tagged along behind Helian Guang Yao, and until he could not see the main entrance of the General's residence anymore, then only he voiced out his worries, "Old Master, Miss Lian Er's injury should not be a big deal. It would be better if you stayed together with them at this time because if the Su family knew about it, I am afraid that the situation will put you at a disadvantage."

  Helian Guang Yao thought about it, and then he retracted the step that he had initially set out, "I will listen to you, let's go back to the residence after we take a walk."

  "Yes, Old Master."

  Indeed, both of them took a walk.

  When Helian Guang Yao came back, Su Yan Mo was still awake. She was surprised to see him return, so she wanted to talk to him for a moment.

  However, Helian Guang Yao looked exhausted, so Su Yanmo gave up her d.e.s.i.r.e. When she thought about dealing with Helian Wei Wei in the very near future, her heart exploded with happiness, hence, it did not take her long to close her eyes and fall asleep.

  What she did not know, however, was that Helian Guang Yao did not sleep actually. Instead, he was full of thoughts, but such thoughts were not about her…

  The night became darker.

  When Baili Jia Jue woke up, Helian Wei Wei seemed to feel a lot more comfortable, and her face had more color to it.

  He did not expect anyone to be so uneasy even when she was asleep She took his finger and placed it in her mou
th, pretending it to be food.

  Helian Wei Wei's bite was not painful though, her long eyelashes were half-bent, and her small tongue slid over Baili Jia Jue's finger, coupled with some warmth...

  The only thing that Baili Jia Jue felt was something strange that leaped from his fingertips to his lower abdomen, which was a bit itching.

  He suddenly looked down, and without pausing, he leaned over and kissed her neck.

  It was probably because this part was more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e, Helian Wei Wei immediately tensed, and her fingers grabbed Baili Jia Jue's clothes.

  Both of them were very close to each other.

  Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand and held the back of her head, and he inserted his finger into Helian Wei Wei's hair, and gently stroked it. Watching her soft hair slid down just like water in between his fingers had all of his attention.

  The gentle pressure at the scalp made Helian Wei Wei feel unusually comfortable in her sleep; she sighed, and her husky voice made the itch in Baili Jia Jue's heart became more intense!

  He stood up suddenly and strode to the copper basin and sprinkled his face with cold water. He looked at his strange self in the bronze mirror and his eyebrows slightly frowned.

  What is this feeling...

  D*mn it!

  Baili Jia Jue stared at his legs and looked at his strange self in the mirror. Obviously, he needed to calm himself down.

  Since he could not play with his prey, all he could do was to kill it. (Helian Wei Wei: …So, you see, how many lives I have saved indirectly?)

  Baili Jia Jue shifted his gaze from the bronze mirror and then walked out. The shadow guards were three times more than usual. Ever since His Highness chose to reveal his identity, this meant that the White Academy would not be peaceful in the future.

  After the Retired Emperor came to know about this, he could not do anything about it, but he was not really worried that those people from the four families would harm Baili Jia Jue. What he really worried about was that once Baili Jia Jue was annoyed, he might fall into the demon's path without being aware of it.
