The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Fire Qilin paused his action for a bit. "Since her identity is unsafe, then it's better not to make a move."

  "There's no such thing as safe or unsafe." The little boy lifted his eyes. His eyes were deep yet unsympathetic, and his elegant aura penetrated through his facial expression. By contrast, his voice was not high-pitched but it was memorable, "Kill the people who sent her over, and she will be mine."

  Upon listening to the little boy's words, Fire Qilin squinted its eyes. According to its master's temperament, if he found out that the woman betrayed him, it was afraid that not only did the people who sent her over would lose their lives, but the woman herself would probably die as well...

  Its master's viciousness did not weaken due to his loss of memory in his previous life.

  Instead, he, as a human being now was more emotionally unstable than he was in the magical realm.

  Although he was merely a little kid, he had started staining his hands with blood at a young age.

  This was related to the environment he grew up, the Imperial Palace - a place which could make humans lose their humanity and demons lose their devilishness.

  In the past, if one caught a glimpse of its master, that person would know that he or she needed to evade him.

  In the present day, its master put on a perfect camouflage and under the camouflage, it was a deadly poison that was more dangerous than anyone else.

  Unexpectedly, there was a woman who dared to approach him at this moment.

  It was hard to imagine how this person would end up to be…

  Chapter 606 - Wei Wei Dealing with Yun Biluo

  The next day Baili Jia Jue was awakened by the smell of breakfast, as usual.

  He raised an arm and placed it on his forehead, as if still a little unused about it.

  Helian Wei Wei placed the pork liver with vegetable porridge down and looked at the figure lying in bed. The figure might be small yet still eluded an aura of nobility, even his sleeping position was the standard posture, with both arms crossed on his c.h.e.s.t. He only moved when she came into the room, turning his head to the side. His deep eyes and curly black hair was beyond cool.

  Helian Wei Wei was engrossed in the sight.

  The boy pouted and said mockingly, "Dummy."

  Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

  He had called her a dummy even before she had said anything.

  How could this sort of life go on?!

  Helian Wei Wei was prepared to teach him a lesson such as tying and beating him up, but seeing the boy smiling after, his adorable look made her reconsider. She could not do it to such a face, so she abandoned that thought. After eating a bite of the porridge, she said, "Have some porridge too, we'll find a way to deal with the Eldest Prince after eating."

  The boy sneaked a peek at her and pulled his clothes before letting out two uncomfortable sounding coughs. After that, his voice sounded coarse, "I don't have the appetite, leave after you're done and close the door for me."

  "No appetite?" Only then did Helian Wei Wei notice the unusual red on the boy's face, and touched him with her left hand. "Why is it so hot? I'll call for the imperial physician."

  The boy pushed her hands away. "There's no need."

  "Your cold seems pretty serious and not recent either." Helian Wei Wei glanced at the damp cloak he hung on the window and smiled. "But if you don't want the imperial physician to notice that you went out last night, I can help lower your body temperature physically."

  The boy paused his fingers and squinted his eyes as he smiled again. "Looks like I need to hide it in the future."

  "I didn't mean to expose you." Helian Wei Wei smirked, "I'm just trying to tell you that you can trust me. You're still young, it's unsafe to go out alone at night, you can call me if you need anything." It had always been dirty tricks inside the palace, her little prince clearly had not awakened and could barely deal with a servant. What could a child like him do when something happened at night?

  Helian Wei Wei felt her responsibility was greater as she felt worried. She touched his forehead again and said, "Take your clothes off, I'll go prepare something."

  The little boy looked as Helian Wei Wei left and turned his gaze toward the damp cloak, the warmth in his eyes disappeared.

  "Why aren't you taking off your clothes?" When Helian Wei Wei returned with warm water and some wine, the little boy did not listen to her but instead took a fur coat and appeared to be leaving soon.

  "I need to pay my respect to my Mother." His tone was even, "I was originally planning to go later, but you woke me up, so I might as well go now."

  Helian Wei Wei extended her arms to stop him. "It's not necessary to do that daily, you're sick now, better get it fixed now."

  "Sister, please don't stop His Highness." Yun Bilou came in. While her figure was small, her words sounded reasonable, "You're new here so you might not know about the inner rules in the palace. The Empress might be alright if His Highness didn't pay his respect to her in the morning, but others might think that His Highness doesn't follow the rules because the Retired Emperor favors him."

  Helian Wei Wei looked at Yun Biluo and then fixed her gaze at the small pale face. The calm boy was wearing his clothes without any stops in his motion.

  Yun Biluo was carefully arranging the back of his collar next to him.

  Helian Wei Wei smiled and said with her flat tone, "The Empress may not have time to care if His Highness pays his respect."

  "What do you mean?" After all, Yun Biluo was someone the Empress picked and sent to Baili Jia Jue. She turned around upon hearing what Helian Wei Wei had mentioned.

  Helian Wei Wei sat down, her legs were slightly crossed as she looked at Baili Jia Jue. "The Emperor went to the Luan Feng Hall last night. It has been about half a month since he went there, so he might be staying for a little longer. He even canceled the morning court. Your Highness, do you think it's now a good time to head to the Luan Feng Hall?"

  "Why not?" Yun Biluo had many considerations as well. "His Highness hasn't seen the Emperor for a while now, so it's nothing wrong showing up in front of him."

  Most of all, it was his flesh and blood, even if the Emperor did not care as much, he would not let him be. If he went and greeted the Emperor while being sick, would that not show how His Highness was not living a good life? The Emperor might even investigate those who bullied his child in anger!

  Yun Biluo did not have to finish her words to let Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue know what she meant.

  Her thoughts were undeniably good, but she was still too young and her plans were not reflective of reality.

  Helian Wei Wei let out a lazy smile, "I'm not sure if the Emperor misses His Highness, but His Highness is very sick. If he forced himself to go there anyway, the Emperor may have other thoughts. Do not play tricks against the higher-ups, unless your tricks are better than theirs. The Emperor will not care about tricks like this."

  "But that's just your guess." Yun Biluo's expression froze for a moment before smiling again. "His Highness is really sick, how could you claim that it's a ruse?"

  Helian Wei Wei stood up while looking at her and said with a plain tone, "Then I'll say something that's not a guess of mine. The Empress has been waiting for the Emperor to go to the Luan Feng Hall for nearly half a month and he finally went there and is staying there now. If His Highness goes now, he'll disturb her. So how would the Empress act, based on her personality? Hmm?"

  Yun Biluo's face became pale, she knew the consequence without needing an answer.

  Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress only had the Emperor in her eyes and could do anything for him.

  "Why do you think the Emperor headed over to the Empress' place last night?" Helian Wei Wei let out a cold smirk, "It's all because of the needle holes on His Highness. The Emperor doesn't like His Highness but he cannot hit him as it's hard to explain to the Retired Emperor if he did. That's why he made the Empress do it. While it's never formally stated, but the Emper
or's attitude becomes better every time His Highness is abused by the Empress, which clearly shows that he's satisfied with her way. You think this ruse will work on someone who doesn't care about His Highness?"

  Chapter 607 - Love Confession

  Yun Biluo was just a little girl after all and Helian Wei Wei's words almost sent her to the verge of crying. "I just want to help His Highness."

  "Want to help him?" Helian Wei Wei got hot under the collar when Yun Biluo mentioned about this. She gave a laugh and her eyes were filled with piercing coldness. "Tell me, being the girl trained under the Empress, how is it possible that you're not around every time when the Empress hurts His Highness? Why don't you help His Highness to take some of the beatings? Yun Biluo, it looks like your love is really limited."

  Moreover, the part that annoyed Helian Wei Wei the most was the fact that Yun Biluo was obviously a few years older than Baili Jia Jue. Even though she might not be able to defy the Empress in terms of status, but at least she could help to intervene in the punishments by bearing some of them on behalf of His Highness. That would be better than nothing. However, right now, it seemed like Yun Biluo would just stand aside and do nothing at the Empress' place.

  "She is the Empress!" Not to be outdone, Yun Biluo lifted her little face and responded with a rather impatient tone, "Your lack of consciousness regarding superiority and inferiority will only get His Highness into trouble."

  Helian Wei Wei laughed upon hearing her words. "You're just afraid, that's it. Don't talk to me about superiority and inferiority. Listen, Yun Biluo. I don't give a damn to whoever it is because nobody can hit my husband!" Not even the Emperor could do so. Any form of ill-treatment should be confronted as long as it was being done in a correct manner. Enduring all the sufferings relentlessly was how he turned into a demon and stained his hands with blood as he grew up.

  If only someone could just stand out and stop it, His Highness whom she loved and the one she wanted to give him everything would be awakened by now.

  Helian Wei Wei knew that she was venting her anger on others, but she was really mad at this moment as her rage got the better of her. Never had she ever spoken so harshly without any restraint before. Her dazzling eyes seemed sort of unnerving.

  Baili Jia Jue was obviously stunned as he looked at Helian Wei Wei. She looked exactly like a little fox with its fur bristled in rage.

  She's getting mad over his matter.

  Almost everyone in the imperial palace knew what his mother would do to him for calling him to Luanfeng Palace.

  But no one felt sorry for him over this.

  No one stood up for him as well.

  Baili Jia Jue knew that this palace was nothing but a hideous place ever since he was young.

  Taking advantage of one another was always the basis of relationsh.i.p.s and sincerity was just too good to be true.

  Anyhow, he was already used to it without much trouble. These people would eventually be not more than just a game to him after he reached the top.

  Therefore, he was puzzled by Helian Wei Wei's fury over what happened to him. He did not get it.

  "Your Highness…" Yun Biluo turned her head to look at the confused Baili Jia Jue with tears in her eyes. "I really don't understand why Sister started to question me upon coming. What I did is all for your own good, Your Highness."

  Instead of looking at her, Baili Jia Jue commanded Helian Wei Wei, "You, come with me now."

  If this were to be the a.d.u.l.t him, he would definitely ask Yun Biluo to get lost long ago.

  However, life was not about assumptions. He had not grown up and he was merely a child.

  The place where he stayed was a total contrast to the luxurious imperial palace. Gloominess was the only word for this place and one even had to hold their coughs back from getting into a coughing spell.

  For that reason, he had absolute trust in the people who stayed beside him.

  This is not something that she, as a newcomer can compete with.

  The thought of this made Helian Wei Wei feel rather frustrated with her head lowered again.

  This was what Shadow had caught sight of when he came in. A girl who was almost twice the height of His Highness trod on his heels depressedly as if she were to be taken home for a lesson.

  As a shadow guard, he never pried into his Master's affairs but he sensed something was not right when he saw a smile playing on the corners of Yun Biluo's mouth. He reminded her, "Don't go against her too obviously. His Highness will not like you to do so."

  "I go against her?" Yun Biluo blinked her eyes and tears started streaming down. "You have no idea what she said about me in front of His Highness just now. She said why I didn't help His Highness to take some of the beatings. But that's the Empress, how can I stop her? It's obvious that she's trying to sow discord among us. Perhaps this time His Highness will be able to confirm that she is indeed a spy sent by the Eldest Prince. It's a good thing though."

  Shadow paused his steps when he heard her words and said calmly, "I will stop it if I were there."

  That was his loyalty as a servant. Even though it meant death, he would still do it.

  Yun Biluo was stunned for a while and then she laughed, "Easier said than done." What was the point of stopping? His Highness would not let her do so either. This was just way too silly!

  However…

  It's about time to go for the greeting. What is actually on His Highness' mind?

  Casting her eyes on the closed hall door, Yun Biluo bit her thin lips hard.

  Meanwhile, in the hall, Baili Jia Jue threw Helian Wei Wei a glance after giving two little coughs and said faintly, "I thought you said you wanted to help me cool down?"

  Does it mean that he's listening to me and not going for the greeting?

  Helian Wei Wei's eyes lit up once again and she took out the alcohol and a cotton ball that she had prepared in advance. "Go and lie on the couch first. Take off your clothes as well."

  "You…" The little boy held his tongue.

  Confused, Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. "What?"

  "Why were you angry over my matter?" The little boy finally asked.

  Helian Wei Wei's eyes bulged. "Can I not be pissed off? You're so arrogant most of the time but I dare not even lay a finger on you despite how I feel like pinching you to death. And yet, your mother... what's wrong with her?" She got a feeling that something was wrong with the way he looked at her.

  "Feel like pinching me to death?" The little boy threw his clothes aside in an aloof manner. "So, is this what you've been thinking, huh?"

  His stares sent chills down Helian Wei Wei's spine and she immediately curved her lips into a smile. "Don't you get it? It's obvious that I'm confessing my love to you."

  Upon hearing that, the nonchalant boy turned his face away and no longer looked at Helian Wei Wei, "Do you always behave like this?"

  "What?" Helian Wei Wei began to figure out her weaknesses. What's wrong with me?

  The voice of the little boy seemed calmer as he spoke, "Do you always express your love like this? To others as well?"

  "Of course not!" Helian Wei Wei hugged the little boy and touched his forehead. She then took the opportunity to confess to him, "I only do this to you. As for the rest, I will just ask them to get lost."

  The little boy halted and turned around to look at her. His beautiful slanted eyes were indifferent as if no lights could shine on them. His voice was flat, "What are you trying to imply? Do you want me to drive Yun Biluo away?"

  Chapter 608 - The Awkward Little Prince

  Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. How does he guess it? His Highness seems a little too smart.

  However...

  "I will not drive her away." The little boy sat on the bed. His face was extremely pale and he seemed exhausted. "Can you please stop stirring up trouble and do not go out at night, especially to the Luanfeng Palace."

  As Helian Wei Wei realized that his voice had become hoarse, she did not say anything furth
er and brought the cotton ball which was soaked in alcohol to him.

  The little boy stopped her motion and held her wrist, he was extremely stubborn. "Promise me, do not go to Luanfeng Palace."

  "Yes, I promise you," His grip hurt Helian Wei Wei. She stroked his head in a consoling manner.

  The little boy closed his eyes and leaned against her with his forehead rested on her shoulder. The boy then said in a muffled voice, "My heart hurts."

  It was coquetry!

  This definitely was coquetry!

  Helian Wei Wei looked down and kissed his hair. "You are having a terrible fever. It will not hurt after a while. I will take off your clothes first."

  "Why are you always trying to take off my clothes?" The little boy raised his head and looked at her. He had a twinkle in his eye. After a short while, he labeled her in a faint tone, "****."

  "Alright, alright, alright, I am a ****. Happy?" Helian Wei Wei smoothened his hair as she helped him to take off his clothes.

  Finally, the little boy was willing to cooperate. As he was taking off his clothes, his brow furrowed. "There is no taste in my mouth."

  "It is a common symptom when you have a cold." Helian Wei Wei leaned over him and kissed the corner of his lips. "I will brew some red dates soup for you later."

  The little boy was stunned. He then lifted the quilt slowly and covered his face with it; he even completely buried his head under it. His handsome face began to blush as he barked, "Imprudent."

  "Alright, alright, alright, I am imprudent." Helian Wei Wei coaxed him. She then soaked the towel in hot water and placed it on his forehead.

  The little boy closed his eyes and looked emotionless. All that was left was a domineering aura. "You cannot go around kissing people as you like in the future."

  The little boy opened his eyes after a while and said softly, "Say yes."

  "Yes." Helian Wei Wei smiled lazily. His d.e.s.i.r.e to control had been strong since he was young, that was enough...
