The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  The Fifth Prince's expression immediately turned ghastly pale when he saw the letter. He hastily tried to explain himself, "Father, I do have this Xuan paper. However, I am not the only one, the other princes have it too. Father, you can decide for me!"

  "Decide for you?" The Emperor laughed coldly and continued, "You dare to be so shameless, asking me to decide for you! This letter was just sent to your Third Brother. The eunuch under you took a stroll around each garden for it. Do you treat me as a fool? You thought that I can't figure out it's you if you do it indirectly! Furthermore, you dared to utter the words 'the other princes' from your pathetic mouth. Your Fourth Brother has yet to return from beyond the Great Wall, thus only the Little Seventh Prince is left here beside you. He is only four years old! How can you expect a four-year-old child to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Retired Emperor and your Third Brother!"

  Chapter 438 - The Couple Dealing With Outsiders

  The Fifth Prince panicked after he heard what his father had mentioned.

  He handled everything with ease in the past as his mother, the Empress had been helping him to solve his troubles.

  However, he started to doubt himself in this day and age!

  He never thought that the Emperor would find out that it was him. All he did was writing a letter, he even faked his handwriting.

  It's all the weirdo, Helian Wei Wei's fault!

  A normal person would keep the letter to themselves and try not to confront face to face right?

  Unexpectedly, she showed the letter to the Third Brother!

  What kind of logic is that?

  Isn't she afraid of what the Third Brother said in the letter?

  How silly was she to actually hand the secrets of her past to the Third Brother?

  The Fifth Prince tried to calm down. He knelt on the floor and replied, his voice trembling, "Father, I never meant to judge Seventh Brother and I have no idea what was actually happening. Every prince owns this kind of paper, even the eunuchs in the palace are likely to pick up the waste paper on the ground. I'm dumb that I couldn't find any evidence to prove my innocence. Besides, the others have been envious of me since I've been pampered by father all these years, such an incident has happened before. I'm not afraid of anything, the only thing I'm scared of is for you to be disappointed with me and that our relationship is affected."

  It was clear to him the reason why his father treated Third Brother with caution and he knew that these words might help him to gain a ray of hope.

  As he expected, the Emperor calmed down slightly after he heard the Fifth Prince's words. As mentioned by Little Five, there might be a misunderstanding. If he took the side of those people who were jealous of Little Five and ruined their father-and-son relationship, their plot would succeed.

  Right when the Emperor thought from this perspective, he heard noises from the outside before he was able to talk.

  He looked up and saw Little Seven who was strong and dignified carrying a eunuch. He threw him on the ground and said, "Tell father everything you know!"

  That eunuch was no other but the Fifth Prince's personal eunuch who served him perennially.

  The eunuch got beaten up cruelly and he was curled up on the ground due to the unbearable pain.

  However, this was not the reason that he was going to expose the Fifth Prince.

  Until now, he could not forget that demonic stare from Helian Wei Wei whom everyone thought would not survive in the palace and would be in countless troubles if it was not for the Third Prince. Even though her voice was flat, it was enough to make him startle on the spot.

  She said, "Eunuch Zhang's family surely don't know about Eunuch Zhang's behavior in the palace. If they knew it, you think how sad would they be?"

  She was threatening him!

  Eunuch Zhang held his hands tightly but he could not stop the fear rising from the bottom of his heart.

  Regardless of him or the Fifth Prince, they both underestimated Helian Wei Wei.

  She was not an ordinary woman at all, nor was she someone who only knew to eat and sleep.

  She had far better tricks if compared to the Third Prince.

  The couple was both vicious. They would scheme against others without giving them a room to breathe.

  He had to tell everything at this point.

  The Emperor was going to calm down, but as he heard Eunuch Zhang's words, saying that the Empress advised the Fifth Prince to bribe the eunuchs so that he could reach the Retired Emperor and that he used the opportunity to create suspicions between the Third Prince and Third Princess Consort.

  The Emperor hit the ceiling after listening to Eunuch Zhang's words. He threw the mug he was holding toward the Fifth Prince. "You b*stard! You said that you knew nothing and that the others were deliberately making mischief between you and me. You already got your hands on something that you shouldn't. You have the guts to do this when I'm still alive? Great! Truly amazing!"

  He had been thinking that his beloved son was still young and did not know all these things in the past. That was why he was close to him.

  He did not expect his little son had his own power in the palace. He already had such wild ambition at such a young age!

  What was he planning to do?

  The Emperor could never tolerate the princes' arrogation of powers to their own self. The Fifth Prince's actions this time had completely violated his taboo.

  The Emperor stopped interrogating the Fifth Prince right away. He pressed his temples in anger, "Pull him away and give him fifty birch rod beatings as punishment! After that, make him enter the Cold Palace to accompany his Empress mother who taught him tenderly!"

  "Father! Father!" At first, the Fifth Prince was still asking for mercy. Then, he could not bear the pain anymore after a few beatings due to his weak body.

  The beatings were going to kill him, not to mention fifty of them!

  Baili Jia Jue watched the scene while playing with a porcelain cup in his palm lightly. His smile was evil...

  That was the moment when the Fifth Prince realized that the person he provoked not only could win against him, that person also knew how to make use of others to get rid of him unknowingly.

  Everything was finally over.

  The remaining power of the Murong Family had been scooped until nothing was left and they got replaced by Baili Jia Jue's sect.

  The imperial court had decentralized for years and small forces were gone unwittingly.

  Looking back at the present War Dragon Empire, other than the power of the four influential families, the rest had returned to the Royal Family.

  The world was going to change!

  Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly after she heard the news. "Not bad. After the Fifth Prince's incident, those who wanted to joke at me and the Third Prince will finally remain silent for a period of time."

  Qing Zhan trembled and said softly, "It was not just beatings. The Fifth Prince is just a kid who hasn't stop weaning. The pain from the few planks on his body is just a small matter. He is still crying every day because he thought that he had lost the Emperor's love. Besides, they are going to send him into the Cold Palace, it would be much more suffering than death for him..."

  Helian Wei Wei arched her brows and said, "Qing Zhan, let's have a talk."

  "Huh?" Qing Zhan was stunned without being conscious of it.

  Helian Wei Wei dabbed her finger at Qing Zhan's head and said, "I know that you are soft-hearted since the first day I knew you. However, only good people deserve kindness. In this world, people who set others up will receive their retribution one day. We should sympathize with the weak, but if they act in a way that they cry for sympathy when they hurt others but they feel wronged when they were being punished, I will usually chase them off! People make mistakes, especially those who are still young. As for those who feel wronged after they made mistakes, I will only ignore them. Some of them thought that they can steal others' husbands just because they are young and after they did t
hat, they would cry and say that the first wives are looking for their trouble. As for these b*itches, you are only bringing harm to your friend if you treated them with kindness..."

  Chapter 439 - Feeling Sorry For His Highness

  Upon listening to Helian Wei Wei, Qing Zhan opened her mouth, "I…"

  Helian Wei Wei glanced at her and said, "You're now working for me. I don't wish to have any misunderstanding between the Third Prince and my servant. He is neither cold-blooded nor a bully to the weak. It's just when somebody was trying to provoke him, he would remove the party. In the War Dragon Empire, people from inside and outside the palace are trying to kill him every single day. Now, he is just a little bit strict, and you have already seen him as a cruel person. You're sympathetic toward the Fifth Prince for being treated like that as he is still young. Let me ask you, how about the Third Prince who was defamed by people when he was still a child? Didn't he feel sad too? He did not even offend anyone at that time. In contrast, as you mentioned, the Fifth Prince already had the intention to murder as a child. Yet, you're trying to defend him because he is still a youngster. Does that mean that he could simply stab someone and those who were injured by him should express their gratitude to him?"

  "I… I…" Qing Zhan felt ashamed after hearing what Helian Wei Wei had said. It was illogical for her to sympathize with the Fifth Prince. After the Princess Consort pointed out to her, she finally realized how st*pid she was. Her cheeks were flushed as she uttered, "Please forgive me, Princess Consort. I will never have such thoughts in my mind anymore."

  Helian Wei Wei did not speak as pain struck her heart.

  She encountered such a condition before in her modern times.

  The moment she made her decision to take revenge, she knew that she would have to work independently.

  Sympathy is for the weak who grieves.

  For Helian Wei Wei, there was only criticism and rejection.

  If the 'weak' did not do such a disgusting matter, Helian Wei Wei would not even bother her!

  Like now, did Baili Jia Jue do anything wrong? Was it wrong for him to protect himself? Obviously not.

  However, even her servant viewed him as vicious and merciless.

  Helian Wei Wei felt that she should stop talking about that anymore. That moment, all she wanted was to wait for him to come back and give him a hug…

  Patter.

  The rain started pouring.

  In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Emperor was listening to the screams of the Fifth Prince. He held his teacup, gazed at Baili Jia Jue for seconds and said, "Your intention in bringing this letter is to let me punish your Fifth Brother. He committed a crime, you should be happy now."

  "Not at all." Baili Jia Jue said with a flat tone. "As a prince, he is not supposed to do such a thing. Isn't it fair for him to get punished now?"

  According to him, this kind of people should be given the death penalty.

  Now that he was only getting beatings, there was nothing for him to be happy with.

  "That's your personality," the Emperor sneered, "Not to say you are ruthless and tough in handling issues, you can even ignore brotherhood. It seems like you're not afraid of anything. Well, you have been staining your hands with blood since young after all. Not to mention this time."

  Baili Jia Jue took a sip of tea and said, "Father, you shouldn't pardon Fifth Brother. If he continues with such behavior, he can take me away from the position of crown prince one day. Looking at his means this time, he is definitely more interested in your throne compared to me."

  The Emperor was frustrated upon hearing that. After a severe cough, he reached for the medicinal herb immediately and consumed the medicine. He could not do anything to Baili Jia Jue but to see him leaving the palace casually. It was irritating. He would have swept away all the tea sets on the table to the floor if his servants did not hold him by the side!

  The reaction of the Emperor was all under Baili Jia Jue's expectations.

  There was a sense of alienation between them although he was also his son.

  He was used to it throughout the years.

  Compared to Baili Jia Jue who did not care too much, Helian Wei Wei who seldom threw a tantrum was indignant upon hearing the conversation from the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She was so angry that she swept objects off the table.

  Looking at her, Yuan Ming and Whitey who were in the Fantasy Space stunned.

  They had been following this woman for a long time.

  Before that, she would never be this mad no matter how terrible a situation she encountered.

  Perhaps, no one understood how painful Helian Wei Wei felt.

  How can a father even say that to his biological son?

  He did not do anything wrong in this case.

  Why should he bear all the reprehension?

  Baili Jia Jue came back and saw this scene.

  Eunuch Sun whispered to him, "The Princess Consort already knew the news regarding the Fifth Prince…"

  Baili Jia Jue's fingers froze. There were some means that he did not hope to be seen by her but somehow, he could not avoid them.

  "You…" Baili Jia Jue was about to speak.

  She gave him a forceful hug all of a sudden.

  Baili Jia Jue could not understand why she did so. Anyhow, he would definitely accept the hug no matter what intention she had since she initiated it.

  "What's wrong?" He moved her to the soft couch.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at him and said, "Next time, please bring me along no matter who you want to deal with. If they dare to bully you, ask for permission from the gun in my hand first."

  As someone so bossy and domineering, she would never allow her partner to get upset.

  Baili Jia Jue was dumbfounded by her unexpected words. He smiled with his eyes full of warmth and said, "Are you talking about the Emperor? He said those words because of his fear toward me. He hated me and he wishes to strick me off as he is afraid that I will affect his position. If Fifth Brother did not make such a big mistake this time around, he would never deal with him for my sake. The palace is quite an interesting place, he has been cautious with everyone but he kept an ungrateful and vicious person with him."

  Helian Wei Wei listened to him quietly. After being furious, her hair was poofy and she looked confused.

  Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and gave her a kiss on her long hair. He sneered as he said, "Don't worry. I have exposed everything in front of His Highness. Thus, he might not be able to have a good sleep for the whole night. As for Fifth Brother, he is in an awkward situation right now. Compared to his punishment, this would make him even more uncomfortable."

  "Alright." Helian Wei Wei smiled. She gazed at him for a few seconds and said, "Your idea is so trenchant."

  Upon hearing that, as if he was burnt, Baili Jia Jue's movement froze mid-air but he did not let Helian Wei Wei notice...

  Chapter 440 - Concerning The Future Little Emperor

  Something unexpected happened.

  The words that came out of Helian Wei Wei's mouth was, "But, I like it! Do teach me when you have time. I don't think that I'm smart enough compared to you."

  Baili Jia Jue raised his glance and saw a tiny face with a determined expression. He relaxed his pale fingers and could not restrain his laughter. His laughter insinuated traces of treachery. "You're saying that your mind is not smart, then how will you be able to learn? Well, even if you are a little st*pid, that is a good thing. That way, it will eventually be balanced out when you give birth to a son."

  Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. In other words, was he trying to say that she was responsible for the deteriorating intelligence of the entire family?

  "If you want to balance it out, then it's fine with me. I am not going to argue with you." Helian Wei Wei lay back lazily. She thought of something and laughed, "I seem to prefer cats recently."

  Baili Jia Jue knew what she was trying to say. His thin lips moved slightly, extending deeply and slowly as if he was le
ngthening his pitch on purpose.

  "Meow…"

  That voice was so soothing that it almost i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed one's ears.

  Helian Wei Wei looked at Baili Jia Jue's face, he had a faint smile on his face, which reminded her of evil deacons in comic books.

  She even had some suspicion toward him.

  Are there any demon genes in His Highness' body?

  Or else, why would she constantly sense an elegant demeanor that was both strong and dark coming from someone who looked pure and innocent?

  "He cannot be a demon," said Whitey who was in the Fantasy Space after detecting Helian Wei Wei's thoughts. "If he is a demon, there is no way that I cannot detect it."

  True, a sacred being was excellent in detecting the presence of a demon.

  It might be hard to detect it if a sacred being was further from it, but it was impossible for them not to detect it when they were so close.

  Helian Wei Wei yawned and engaged telepathy with Whitey lazily. "That was just a random thought."

  "That might not be true." Yuan Ming, however, laughed maniacally at this moment. "For a powerful demon, it would not be easily detected by others if it disguises itself. However, if it is born in the Royal Family, the chance of entering the Magic Path is minimal. But, the strange thing is that I found out that the Retired Emperor of the Royal Family was worried that the Third Prince will enter the Magic Path since the beginning. Hence, there are still matters that we don't know within the Royal Family. As for you Wei Wei, if you do not want to witness the Third Prince losing his humanity one day, you can think of ideas to reduce his committed sins in order to help him. He had murdered too many civilians. From a practitioner's perspective, one will definitely be a demon one day if he murdered thousands of civilians with his own hands. From what I know, there were thousands of civilians who were murdered by him. His body that contained the scent of human blood has become more pungent ever since you are in contact with him. However, the scent has unknowingly balanced out when he is hugging you. I have never met such a unique person, who is both intriguing yet deadly."
