Pattering.
Big raindrops fell pattering upon the wide leaves, there were many eunuchs and palace maids walking around in the royal garden except for a secluded area that was blocked by a few shadow guards.
The Retired Emperor had his hands behind his back as he stood at the quiet pavilion. He cast a glance at his favorite grandson and said, “Ah Jue, tell Grandpa honestly, is Wei Wei really possessed?”
Ever since Helian Jiao Er died, all the four influential families had completely lost their senses.
They asserted that the new princess consort was the possessor, enticing the common people in all possible ways.
Even the Third Prince had killed the Phoenix Girl for her. The empire was doomed to destruction in the future.
He had to ask as things had escalated to this point.
Now that the War Dragon Empire was still under his control, he had to coordinate and balance all the influences involved.
He would allow Ah Jue to do anything however he pleases.
But if she’s really a possessor...
The Retired Emperor’s eyes darkened, he was really unsure of what he would do next.
“She’s not,” Baili Jia Jue said in a light tone, his expression remained the same. “She’s just a little smarter than she used to be, even such a trivial matter has become a subject of gossip.”
The Retired Emperor smiled and said, “That girl isn’t just a little smarter.”
“If she’s really a possessor, her main target should be the royal family and not the remnants of the Su family.” Baili Jia Jue shook the teacup in his hands. That pair of hands seemed even more priceless with the silver ring around his ring finger. “People would not speak of her as much if she did not marry me.”
The Retired Emperor felt sorry for him upon hearing that, he let out a sigh and said, “All eyes are on you as you’re the prince of the War Dragon Empire. It’s normal for people to make a big fuss about the most insignificant mistake you made.” The Retired Emperor made a pause upon saying this and continued, “What are you going to do if Wei Wei is really the possessor?”
“What else can I do, this cannot be taken lightly.” Baili Jia Jue raised the teacup and took a sip of water in the cup as he said that. His eyes were so dark that one was unable to tell the emotions in his eyes.
The servant who was standing at the side frowned his eyebrows upon hearing that.
The Retired Emperor patted his shoulder and said, “People will have suspicion to that young lady as she has great capabilities, especially since she has such a stepmother. Don’t worry, I will keep this matter under control. But you have to be cautious as well in the meantime.”
“Okay,” Baili Jia Jue answered softly.
After the topic had ended, the grandfather and grandson began to talk about something else.
“Did Third Brother really say so?” The Fifth Prince, who was merely a few years younger than Baili Jia Jue, sneered and said, “He is indeed a heartless man.”
He had been living in a difficult situation during this period of time, owing to Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue.
His mother was sent to the cold palace and being forbid to leave the place forever.
His uncle was sentenced to death because of treason.
The Murong residence was covered with white strips everywhere now.
The Fifth Prince was really living a petty life.
He recalled the good old days and looked back at his situation right now.
The Fifth Prince clenched both his hands as he glanced at the lady behind him. “Miss Yun, think of a plan for me.”
A lady who was dressed as Shadow walked toward him slowly, her face was shielded by a shawl. She lowered her eyes and asked the servant softly, “Did the Third Prince really say with his own mouth that this cannot be taken lightly?”
“Yes, His Highness also said that this palace will not tolerate any possessor.” The servant hung his head even lower. “It sounded like he doesn’t even care about the princess consort.”
The Fifth Prince was unhappy. “How should I deal with him if that’s the case!”
“Calm down, Your Highness,” Yun Biluo grinned and said. “The Third Prince doesn’t even care about Helian Wei Wei, hehe... I’m not sure what Helian Wei Wei will think if she hears about this?”
The Fifth Prince was suddenly enlightened. “You want to... Hahaha, that’s great! It’s indeed an excellent scheme! Eunuch Li, write down the rest of the conversation that you overheard on a note, and find a way to send it to my cruel and merciless Third Aunt. Let’s see how they fight among themselves!”
“Yes.” Eunuch Li bowed as he retreated. He took a glance at Yun Biluo before he left.
Logically speaking, the Empress ordered Yun Biluo back to help her drive a wedge between the Retired Emperor and the Third Prince.
Now that the Empress had lost power, she did not add insult to her injury and still willing to help the little master to deal with the other person instead.
However, he was somehow unable to clearly understand the situation but there was nothing else he could do even if he did not know what was going on.
He had to give it a try to fight for a slim chance of survival before the Retired Emperor sent off the little master to the borders of the empire!
The sun went down and dusk enveloped the land.
Baili Jia Jue was sitting in the South study room, dressing in a white robe and black shirt, going through the memorial in his hands. The ancient scrolls somehow looked different in his hands.
Nobody would believe how cruel the hands were capable of murdering people.
“Your... Your Highness...” An official had been kneeling in the South study room for quite a while but he did not dare to get up.
Baili Jia Jue paused his writing brush, his gaze softened as he looked at the silver ring on his ring finger. “You’re dismissed, do not repeat the same mistake again.”
“Dis... dismissed?” The official could not believe his own ears. He swallowed hard, happiness came too suddenly and he was not ready for it, what should he do!
Baili Jia Jue said after some thought, “Alright, you don’t have to leave.”
The official was speechless.
No! I beg you, Your Highness, dismiss me, please!
Although the happiness was too sudden, it was better than having no happiness!
“Rumor has it that you have many concubines,” Baili Jia Jue continued to say faintly.
The official straightened his neck and blurted out, “Those are merely rumors!!”
“Hmm?” Baili Jia Jue set the writing brush in his hand on the table, slightly raising his long and narrow eyebrows.
The official immediately became honest. He put his fingers together and said, “Ac... actually, there... there aren’t too many of them...” I’m doomed, is His Highness going to confiscate my property simply because of this matter!
If His Highness insists on doing so, I... I will... die in front of him instead!
“How do you coax them normally?”
What?
The official thought there was something wrong with his ears.
He lifted his head while trembling in fear. He tried to answer after making sure that his master was really asking him, “How... how to coax?”
“What can you do to make those women happy?” Baili Jia Jue said in a light tone, his long brows furrowed slightly.
The official was stunned!
Is His Highness seriously asking him now?
“Your Highness, you don’t have to do anything. Just stand over there, show them your face and they will surely faint!” He had never been so honest!
Baili Jia Jue smirked devilishly, brushing the side of his face with his fingers. “She likes my face very much indeed.”
Who wouldn’t like the most beautiful man in the world! The official glanced at his master and then looked back at his own obese body. He instantly felt sad and somehow thought that God was very unfair.
“Apart from the face?”
