“Why are you not speaking, Your Highness?” Elder Wu exerted more pressure, “Don’t know what to say?”
Baili Jia Jue lowered his head, his bangs covered his long narrow eyes which were gleaming with coldness.
Elder Wu saw his reaction and thought that the Third Prince was speechless.
A loud bang was heard right when he was about to add on!
The door of the Chaoyang Hall was kicked open!
A person was holding something similar to a long black pipe. The person had long and slim legs and there was a smile on her face. With her fair and beautiful skin, it could only be one person, Helian Wei Wei.
Her lips were half-curved as she leaned against the door. She stood not far away from Baili Jia Jue and her eyes were filled with sneers, “Elder Wu, who told you that we are the city watch guards?”
“You... You... !” Elder Wu would never have thought Helian Wei Wei would come back like this. He thought that she had returned to Jiuchong Hall due to an unwell condition.
Helian Wei Wei placed her fingers on her lips, her actions were sharp and valiant when she let out a loud whistle.
A dozen black figures came down in a synchronized movement but every one of them was unique in their own way.
All of them had excellent physiques. Some were buffed, some were handsome and some were showing a smile on their faces. They had white bandages coiled up on their arms as each of them was holding machine guns and snipers. Their presence was unusual, amid the cool fierceness was a heavy bloodthirsty aura!
The leader of the imperial army let out a cry of realization as he pointed at the men, “Your Highness! It’s them, it was these 20 or so people who stopped the rebellion army!”
About 20 of them stopped the fierce rebellion army??!!
That sounds impossible!
How did they do it?
The crowd was looking at them who stood in a straight line. Their gazes were showing indescribable interest.
“Well then.” Helian Wei Wei walked over to Baili Jia Jue and widened her smile at Elder Wu. Her gesture had an inexplicable arrogant and domineering bearing, “Tell Elder Wu and the Emperor who you people are.”
“Yes, Young Master!” The men’s reply in unison was so loud that it almost shook the entire Chaoyang Hall, “We are the General’s hidden army from Helian manor!”
What?!
The hidden army?!
Elder Wu faltered to the back. He felt a chill down his spine as if he was splashed by a pail of cold water from head to toe!
The crowd stood up out of clamor, their eyes were filled with astonishment!
Everyone present in the hall knew about the legends of the hidden army!
Many of them once hoped to catch a glimpse of the strongest and most valiant troops in the history of the War Dragon Empire!
However, the hidden army seemed to have disappeared after Old Master Helian’s passing.
The people had doubts about it although there were people saying that Helian Wei Wei had gained the recognition of the hidden army a while ago.
They had not seen the hidden army before, so it was nothing but rumors to them.
But now!
The hidden army appeared right before their eyes!
“Your Highness.” Helian Wei Wei curled her thin lips. “I suppose you don’t have any reason to suspect the Third Prince anymore. He did not command the city watch guards but us, the hidden army, to protect the palace and your safety. After all, there are a lot of eminent monks that came into the palace, it’s not that surprising if someone used the opportunity to cause trouble. It was unfortunate that Your Highness did not trust the Third Prince nor I. Since Elder Wu here is allowed to slander as he wished, it is difficult for us to make it in time, hence granting the rebellion army the window of breathing. Your Highness is sagacious, I suppose you won’t blame us for coming late for the rescue, right?”
Helian Wei Wei’s words to the Emperor was like a fishbone in his throat, every single word that came out of her mouth was like slapping the Emperor’s face.
But he could not get angry!
No emperor would criticize a person with merit in front of the public!
It would not only make him look despicable to the public, but his act would also be written down in the history books.
He could not allow himself to bear the title of a fatuous ruler!
Therefore, no matter how unhappy the Emperor was, all he could do was to endure it. He grabbed the arm of his dragon throne tightly and forced a generous smile on his face, “Eunuch Gao!”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Eunuch Gao could not grasp the Emperor’s emotion anymore, he quivered when he was summoned.
The Emperor looked at Helian Wei Wei as he tightened his grip on the arm of the dragon throne. “Send my words out, the Third Princess Consort has performed meritorious service for protecting the Emperor and will be heavily rewarded!”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Eunuch Gao looked down and stepped away.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, “Your Highness, don’t be such a hurry with rewards. You still haven’t dealt with Elder Wu’s huge crime of accusing the prince.”
After hearing what she said, the Emperor’s smile sank. His eyes were glued to Helian Wei Wei but he did not say anything, it was obvious that he was disconsolate.
A person as smart as Helian Wei Wei would have known how offensive she was toward the Emperor on that day.
But it was her particular temper that shielded her shortcomings perfectly.
As a father, he had to frame his own son of treason so that he could protect his throne and reputation.
Such a father was not fit to be a human being!
As if the little face of hers was too misanthropic, Baili Jia Jue reached out and hugged her back, he whispered, “Wei Wei...”
Helian Wei Wei glanced over him and comforted him, “Don’t worry, with me around, you shall take no grievance from anyone!”
He actually wanted to tell her to leave the rest up to him. If he was the one who would deal with the matters, the others around him would be tortured even more.
However, His Highness was shameless in this particular field.
He complied to Helian Wei Wei’s suggestion and continued.
Although his tone was a little lighter, it sounded like he was sighing, “I guess that’s what happens when one is not adored since he was young. I got used to the matters similar to today’s, it’s just that it’s a little hard on the feelings. Can you accompany me tonight for a drink?”
“Of course!”
Helian Wei Wei would definitely agree!
She would even brew the liquor herself for His Highness, let alone have a drink.
“But don’t feel too bad about it.”
In terms of comforting people, our beloved queen Wei Wei had always been on the weaker side. She allowed His Highness to halt her movements as he exerted most of his strength on her, causing her shoulders to be a little shaky.
Helian Wei Wei thought that he was having a difficult time. She comforted him even more with an awkward posture but unknown to her, His Highness was actually smiling brightly with a sly expression.
Nangong Lie was the closest to the two of them. Of course, he saw everything that happened. His mouth had been twitching the whole time.
Even if he was His Highness’ brother who grew up together, he had to criticize him!
Ah Jue is really, really, really shameless!
Elder Wu must have hit his head on something. Why would he frame Ah Jue and not someone else?
After his worry vanished, Nangong Lie reverted to his bewitching looks with the white feather fan in his hand. Then, he looked over to the direction of Elder Wu who was petrified ...
Baili Jia Jue also looked up at the moment. His eyes were as still as dead water but there was a bewitching delight. It made Elder Wu felt worse than death.
Doomed!
Not even the Emperor could protect him this time ...
