Helian Wei Wei smirked and then let out a smile. "It's all destined that you will have to choose me, it's useless to threaten me with such things."
"Okay, good." The little boy smiled leisurely. "Let's see if it will happen then."
Helian Wei Wei thought that she was at least a Mercenary Tycoon who had been through life and death. Logically speaking, it was impossible for an eight-year-old child to get the better of her.
However, not sure if she knew His Highness too well, she started to be concerned about the possible changes in the future upon hearing the little boy's words.
When she was cooking in the afternoon, she added a huge amount of meat into the clay pot rice prepared for Baili Jia Jue.
The little boy sneaked a peek at her without saying a word. He then lowered his head and started eating.
Helian Wei Wei held her chin while looking at him with a faint smile. "We will still have to believe numerology. Anyway, is the clay pot rice delicious?"
The little boy ate a slice of aromatic meat. Instead of answering her question, he questioned in a slow tone, "Other than claiming that I will choose you, what else did the numerology make known?
Helian Wei Wei curved her thin lips. "The Eldest Prince will die young this year for unknown reasons."
She was aware that the little boy wanted to ask about this.
After all, the Shadow and Yun Biluo now were considered different for him.
According to His Highness' disposition, he would not let it go so easily if anyone under his care was being bullied.
However, out of her expectation, the little boy could still let out a laugh and repeat the two words repeatedly, "Die young…" That was highly possible because he had planned to kill the Eldest Prince since the beginning of autumn. However, it was not the right time yet and he had scruples about killing the Eldest Prince as it was not the same as murdering a palace maid. Upon listening to Helian Wei Wei's words, he was thinking perhaps he could give it a try…
Helian Wei Wei laid her eyes on his smile as she raised her eyebrows. "Don't you believe me?"
"He is the apple of my Father's eye at the moment." Baili Jia Jue took another bite of clay pot rice. This rice was different from the one he usually had as it was steaming hot yet aromatic.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, "The most taboo thing is favoritism in the palace. Your Father has a suspicious character so excessive favoritism may not be a good thing."
The little boy paused his fingers hidden under the long sleeves but his face was at a loss. "What do you mean?"
"Leave it to me." Helian Wei Wei arched her thin lips. "I have read many books about harem fight so there should be no major problems."
The little boy furrowed his thick brows. "What are you planning to do?"
"What do you think of honey trapping?" Helian Wei Wei drew closer to his little face. "I heard that the Eldest Prince is irresistible toward women."
Upon hearing that, the little boy sneered coldly all of a sudden. "If you want to serve the Eldest Prince, you can just say directly. I can send you over right away and then kill both of you at once later!"
Helian Wei Wei stared at the little boy for a moment before using her hand to c.a.r.e.s.s his face. "Are you envious?"
The little boy's eyes turned cold and just so happened that he was small in size, making him look indifferent yet adorable.
"Don't be jealous. How can he be compared with you?" Helian Wei Wei hugged him and took the opportunity to confess, "I went to have a look just now. That person is far worse than you. As a face-judger, I will definitely choose the most good-looking one."
That was right, she worked things out based on the hint from the 'Court Your Wife Tips'. Confessing ten times every day, there would surely be at least once where she would receive a response in return. She should take advantage of His Highness' young age to put in more effort to court His Highness. If not it will be too weary to pursue him when he was a grown-up!
Who knew the little boy was not moved at all. Instead, he stretched out his finger and pointed on her forehead. He pushed her away in an extremely calm yet elegant manner. He then uttered leisurely, "Judging from your look, how dare you be picky about the appearance of others?"
Chapter 604 - His Highness’ Malevolence Was Raised From Childhood
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself, sharp tongue again! What's wrong with my appearance? I'm attractive, elegant yet wealthy! Isn't His Highness looking down on others too much!
If she beat him up now, would someone accuse her of bullying an underage?
"Having said that, it's better to forget about your honey trapping method." The little boy revealed an arrogant expression while facing her and said in a cold tone, "So that you won't be chased off by others and get me involved in this issue."
Just as Helian Wei Wei wanted to say something, the little boy spoke again with an emotionless expression, "However, your honey trapping is useless as it is not the right match."
"Why is it not the right match?" Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. She thought it was said that the Eldest Prince favored beauty.
The little boy glanced at her. "Because the Eldest Prince prefers men more than women."
Clang!
Little Shadow who walked in while carrying cold dishes and rice, slipped and dropped the food in his hands!
When did the Eldest Prince favor men?
Why was he not aware of this?
Shadow was still young. Although he was loyal to his master, he showed an unsettled expression as though he thought of asking Baili Jia Jue about something. He could not help looking at him. "Your…"
"Are your legs recovered?" Without raising his head, Baili Jia Jue interrupted Shadow before waiting for him to ask a question.
Shadow was touched instantly, but he held back his tears. "I'm fine, I'm totally fine now!" Thus, His Highness did not have to defame the Eldest Prince, saying that he was fond of men. This was such a huge offense!
"Since you have fully recovered, then stay away from the Eldest Prince next time. He likes to lay hands on you recently." Baili Jia Jue then put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Shadow nodded in agreement as tears welled up in his eyes. Never had he expected that his master would care for him so much. Whining, he thought that this could not be more heartwarming. He promised that he would surely treat His Highness better in the future!
However, Shadow did not know that Baili Jia Jue had packed up and prepared to leave the Great Hall.
Helian Wei Wei then approached the little boy and whispered in his ear surreptitiously, "Do you mean that the Eldest Prince likes to lay hands on Little Shadow? Don't tell me that it's exactly what I am thinking about!"
"What else could it mean then?" The little boy questioned nonchalantly in return. He lowered his eyes to put on his gloves. Then, he curved the corner of his lips into an arc. Want to use your honey trapping method? I would like to see how you can put your honey trapping into practice this time around!
Helian Wei Wei found that his attitude was extremely natural so she never thought that this would be a scam. Therefore, she only heaved a long sigh. "It seems like the plan to deal with the Eldest Prince needs to be restructured."
"No worries." The little boy rose to his feet as he looked at Helian Wei Wei, who was sitting on a wooden chair parallel to him. He then pointed his finger at her. "I'll be pretty busy these few days so you better stay out of trouble and better still if you can keep yourself away from the nasty guy."
Huh!
What tone was that?
Why did it sound like a gangster ordering his woman?
Obviously, she was the Mercenary Tycoon.
Moreover, his indifferent look and his expression of not taking anyone seriously deserved a beating!
Helian Wei Wei always felt that her hands became extraordinarily itchy after she came across the scaled-down version of His Highness. It must be due to his sharp tongue that had caused her violent behavior to be induced!
"Why? Do you have any other problems?" The little boy looked at her condescendingly.
Forget it, he was still young. As long as he did not simply attract girls, she would go easy on him. The most important thing was to find a way for her to get rid of all obstacles and let him return with her as soon as possible…
It was nighttime and the white mist spread across the atmosphere. The winter in the north at night was dry and cold, causing others to rarely leave the house. Besides, it had also resulted in the river water to be frozen.
Baili Jia Jue was at a young age, hence, he would hardly be discovered hiding in the dark night.
However, the plan of killing this time was terminated.
Not for any other reasons, but because of a secret that he had found out.
The fact that the Eldest Prince had an affair with a palace maid was not a big deal.
However, the Eldest Prince blurted out when he was having physical contact with the palace maid. "Dear, just you wait! Wait till I ascend the throne. I will surely grant you the position as the Imperial Noble Consort!"
"Seriously?" The palace maid who was blushing red was filled with flirtatious expression.
The Eldest Prince couldn't care less about anything. He held her in his arms and moved their way into the weeds by the side.
The little boy observed the scene indifferently as he slowly curved his lips. Such a prince with a big mouth, he is certainly not far from his death…
"Your Highness."
Shadow and Yun Biluo fixed their gazes on Baili Jia Jue who was walking toward them from a distance; they revealed unconcealable trepidation in their eyes.
They were all kids at this moment, hence their bodies were not equipped with martial Qi, not to mention that their thoughts were not as developed as they were when they grew up.
They were not aware that His Highness had gone out at night and the details of what he had done.
However, they were clear that, since a year ago, as long as His Highness went out, there would be people dying in the palace the next day.
In the beginning, they did not relate this to His Highness.
They only came to a realization of what was going on after they had seen bloodstain on the boy's body.
His Highness was definitely not in a good mood for they were punished by the Empress today.
Luckily, judging from His Highness' expression, no one had caught sight of anything.
Shadow could not help but breathe a sigh of relief as he rushed forward.
The black cloak of Baili Jia Jue was full of snow. His handsome little face turned immensely frosty instantly. His pupils showed a tinge of redness that could make others feel perplexed.
Yun Biluo stood beside him and was very well-behaved. She appeared as though she wanted to reach out her hands to help him remove his cloak.
Baili Jia Jue cast a brief look at her and lifted his hand to stop her movement. "Not necessary."
Yun Biluo looked at him and paused as she said, "Your Highness, who was the woman who appeared in the palace today? Who sent her here?"
Upon hearing that, Shadow raised his head as he was bothered with the same question.
Yun Biluo was good with her choice of words which was accompanied by a hint of curiosity. "She seemed to speak very boldly and have a rather pleasant look. We have nothing here. Why is she being sent here though?"
"Is she here to pry information?" Shadow knitted his eyebrows.
Baili Jia Jue unbuttoned his cloak and spoke with a voice as cold as water, "Both of you have mentioned just now. This hall has nothing so what news can she find out here?
"But the Eldest Prince has begun to doubt Your Highness and the Emperor has also asked him to come up with evidence. Who knows maybe this woman is here to gather evidence?" The young Yun Biluo could hardly keep her composure, however, she was considered quite brilliant to be able to analyze a situation in such an organized manner. Moreover, Helian Wei Wei appeared at a critical moment…
Thinking of this, her action was meant to lower one's guard.
Chapter 605 - Prey, His Highness
"If that's the case, we should be careful when we speak in the palace to avoid others from prying information out of us." Shadow furrowed his eyebrows. The situation of their hall was tougher than any other halls. Once they had said something wrong, other than being punished, they would also get His Highness into trouble. The last thing the Empress wanted to see was His Highness making mistakes. Taking today's incident as an example, obviously, the servants of the Eldest Prince had gone too far for bullying His Highness, causing His Highness to counter-attack. Who knew the Eldest Prince would go to the Emperor. Upon hearing that, the Emperor would surely punish the Empress, resulting in her to be displeased. In the end, His Highness was the one to suffer the consequences…
Yun Biluo's tiny head nodded in the affirmative. "It's mainly not to let her discover that Your Highness went out at night. I am afraid that she will tail after Your Highness and eventually some of the things could no longer be concealed."
Upon hearing this, Baili Jia Jue paused his hand which was holding the cloak, then he lifted his hand and put on his cloak again. His voice was calm, "I will take the measure of her. Both of you can dismiss yourself."
"Alright." Yun Biluo said reluctantly. They were used to rely on each other in difficulties so the sudden appearance of a woman made the situation a little awkward.
Moreover, she saw the fish soup prepared by the woman when she walked in this morning. The aromatic smell had certainly never been found in this palace before.
She also felt the urge to make some delicious food for His Highness, however, in addition to the fact that she was not a good cook, it was rather difficult for her to get ingredients from the Imperial Kitchen. Hence, she wondered how the woman could get it done. Yun Biluo found the other party increasingly dangerous as she thought about it more, thus, it was better to watch out for her.
However… the future Princess Consort?
Yun Biluo let out a mocking smile. His Highness only had the daughter of the Helian house in his eyes, so it would be impossible for him to take a liking to an aged woman who was eight or nine years older than him.
But, the Eldest Young Lady of the Helian family did not deserve the right to be their princess consort.
That was fine.
Yun Biluo lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. In this case, His Highness could be hers…
The night turned darker outside the palace, and the moonlight fell and shone through a shadow.
The tiny shadow leaned against the wall with his emotionless eyes lifted, looking up at the mythical beast which was much taller than him.
The hair color of the mythical beast was fiery red as though it was burned in flames, appearing bright yet dazzling.
"Master, when are you releasing me?" The mythical beast felt wronged staying in the cage made exclusively for it. It pressed down a huge amount of Chinese cabbage with its claws. It could not withstand it anymore as it had been eating this for a total of seven days. Its only wish was for the little boy to let go of it and it would do anything for him in return. In fact, this place was impossible to trap him with its strength. However, the only thing that could trap him was the boy in front of him, its one and only master!
Baili Jia Jue sneaked a peek at it before voicing out nonchalantly, "I have only confined you for seven days." No one knew that he hunted down a Fire Qilin as of now. He wanted to wait until his Imperial Grandfather returned and organized the Royal Family's Hunting Activity. In due course, it would be the right timing.
"It has been seven days." Fire Qilin shrieked with his head facing the sky. He then said, "Do those people still treat master as a useless prince?"
Baili Jia Jue curved his lips and handed over the leafy vegetables in his hand. His smile was elegant yet bloodthirsty. "The game has just begun."
The mythical beast stared at the leafy vegetables before it, bursting into tears. "I'm not hungry, Master." Once it
burped, it could sense the smell of the leafy vegetables. What a bad memory!
The little boy seemed to be appealed to his better nature. He retracted his hand and used a handkerchief to wipe it as he said, "I found a rather interesting prey recently. I will lock her up with you when the time comes."
"An interesting prey?" Fire Qilin's eyes brightened. "Is it Sky-swallowing Beast?"
The little boy shook his head nonchalantly, "It's not a mythical beast, it's a woman."
"Woman?" Fire Qilin revealed a facial expression as though it was struck by lightning. Which woman is so unlucky?
The little boy replied in the affirmative and continued, "She said she dislikes the lock so the chain at your place happens to be useful."
Fire Qilin was speechless.
"Master, have you ever thought that she would dislike chains even more?"
Your habit of locking up everything like prey was really intolerable!
Not to mention that the other party was a woman. After the Pandemonium was destroyed, it would retrace its steps whenever it came across a woman…
However, based on his master's personality, he would not care about other people's thoughts. He would just tie her up and bring her over as he wished!
Nevertheless, Fire Qilin was caught off guard by the words uttered by the little boy who frowned as he said, "Which locking method do you think she will like?"
"She…probably will not like any…" Even the beast itself hated to be locked, let alone a human being.
The little boy listened with an indifferent expression. "As for this, I will have to communicate with her properly. She can't say no."
Fire Qilin was rendered speechless again.
What is the point of communicating! It is totally unnecessary!
In fact, Master has a strong urge to tie her up and bring her over, right?
"She seems to be unique in her own way, but fortunately she is not annoying." The little boy tidied up his black gloves. "It will be real trouble if she is someone being sent over by the opponent. It will definitely take some time to lock her up."
