Chapter 200: His Highness Wounded

Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud

Wei Wei smiled, when she faced Eunuch Sun, a light was emitted from her pupils. “There’s something that I don’t know if I should mention.”

“Miss, there’s no harm in saying it.” Eunuch Sun was indeed very proficient, so experienced that he made people very comfortable.

Wei Wei rotated the leaves in her hand and spoke faintly. “Each and every one of the young eunuchs under Eunuch Sun’s command are actually very intelligent, and very capable of making arrangements.”

Eunuch Sun didn’t believe that this statement was praising them.

He’d spent a long time by His Highness’ side, Eunuch Sun also could discern the tone as his heart thumped. “Which matter is the Eldest Miss referring to?”

When we were coming to Hidden Spirit Forest, that horse carriage of mine was old and was even tampered with by someone, that’s how I rode in Miss Chen’s carriage.”

After Wei Wei finished speaking, she even added. “That broken piece of wood on the mountain was very neatly broken and wasn’t accidental at all. It should’ve been broken by internal qi.”

Once Eunuch Sun heard these words, he knew what had happened. Retired Emperor put him in charge of the journey to Hidden Spirit Temple this time. It could be said that any big or small matter had to go through him.

How could there have been a problem with the horse carriage?

Clearly, someone among them accepted a bribe, that’s why these things occurred behind his back!

In a moment, he must quickly go to investigate if it was that little bastard under his command whose long hands took something he shouldn’t have taken. He needed to be kicked out of the palace as soon as possible, to avoid leaving calamities behind for the future!

Thinking to this point, Eunuch Sun looked up, and hesitated before saying. “These things, why didn’t Eldest Miss mention them yesterday?”

“Eunuch Sun is Third Prince’s person. Throughout the journey, you also didn’t step on me, I won’t say what I don’t need to say.” Wei Wei uttered very few words.

But they shook Eunuch Sun’s heart.

Someone as intelligent has him, how could he not understand, Miss Helian took his face into consideration.

Leaving him with a way out, otherwise yesterday’s incident, if revealed in its entirety, even if he wasn’t in the know, he must still suffer some punishment. Retired Emperor’s taboo was ganging up for personal interests.

He admitted that he was a little greedy, but he’d never wanted to betray his master before, and also never thought about working under any other family.

It would seem that he should change this batch of eunuchs under his command and start from the beginning.

Sometime in the future, these incidents within the palace would only become more and more grim. If people who’re not absolutely loyal were left behind, it’d also be disadvantages for His Highness.

Eunuch Sun lowered his eyes and sincerely bowed per propriety. “I thank Eldest Miss.”

Wei Wei smiled, she didn’t feel at all that she’d done anything to have caused someone to be moved. The manner in which she handled matters was indeed awfully ruthless, but that was in regards to people who’d provoked her. Those who didn’t provoke her, she’d always left them with a way out. What’s more the other party was an elder who wasn’t aware of what happened. It wasn’t necessary to implicate the innocent.

However, Eunuch Sun, this person was smart. He’s smart in that he knew what his duties were.

Wei Wei had just spoken to him of this matter, and his first response was to tell Retired Emperor.

Retired Emperor’s hand holding onto the Buddhist scriptures dropped profoundly while he coldly laughed. “It would seem that these people view me as a dotard.”

Eunuch Sun lowered his eyes. “It’s my mistake.”

“What does this have to do with you, rise.” Retired Emperor waved his sleeves and laughed. “But this girl indeed values relationships and values righteousness, also handled matters appropriately. In the future, if she’s by Ah Jue’s side, I can also feel somewhat reassured when I leave.”

Eunuch Sun opened his mouth to speak, but didn’t know how he could approach this topic. He understood his master’s personality, his master who’d rather kill a thousand people by mistake than to have one person slip away.

It couldn’t be helped, his natural disposition was simply that cold. He was courteous as fitting the occasion, but his methods were nevertheless too ruthless.

Just like what Retired Emperor was saying, he also hoped that there’s someone who, after His Highness ascend the throne, wouldn’t be a party to too much evil.

“Have them all come in.” Retired Emperor drank the concoction in his hand, and put down the Buddhist scriptures as he commanded emotionlessly.

At this moment, Hei Ze already arrived. The white Buddhist beads in his hand hadn’t been put away completely and was seen by his sharp eyes schoolmates.

“Isn’t that Hidden Spirit Temple’s blessed item, how did Young Master Hei obtain it?” That person’s covetously looked at the beads in Hei Ze’s hand and wanted to touch it.

Hei Ze levelledly glanced at him, that kind of coldness, made that person’s action stiffen.

Another young master took his paper fan and lightly fanned himself as he smilingly said. “Brother Li, I think you’re really looking for a fight. That item was someone’s gift to Young Master Hei. When you first arrived, did you not see Young Master Hei get pulled away by someone?”

“Was pulled away by someone? Who?” That person raised his eyebrows in confusion.

The fanning young master faintly smiled. “Who else can it be, that young lady from the Helian family. This strand of beads isn’t easy to obtain. It order to get one like this, it’s necessary to kowtow tens of times. Still, Young Master Hei’s so charming that people adored him like this…”

‘Smash! clatter!’ crisply sounded!

Without even speaking, that young master with a fan was so spooked that he quivered.

The little servant eunuch almost kneeled on the ground, no matter how, he couldn’t have anticipated that Third Prince’s first cup of tea would strike the floor!

Don’t tell him he didn’t hold it steady just now? It couldn’t be. He even especially used two hands to offer the cup.

The little eunuch wasn’t merely thinking this as he frantically wanted to use his sleeve cuffs to wipe the tea from Baili Jia Jue’s hand, yet he was scared stiff into maintaining his place by that gaze that looked like condensed ice.

It’s just that, while he was puzzled, the Third Prince, who’d always preferred cleanliness unexpectedly didn’t immediately take out his own handkerchief. Instead, he maintained his posture facing forward, and don’t know what he was thinking, but his expression even appeared a bit absent-minded.

When Eunuch Sun just arrived, what he saw was this scene. His heart hurt as he yelled. “Did you get burned somewhere? Why aren’t you guys hurrying to get some ice!”

“Yes, yes!” The little eunuch finally regained his senses, and hurriedly ran.

He was a complete mess for a period of time.

Baili Jia Jue’s gaze had been spiritless the whole time, only when it fell on Hei Ze’s wrist did it become exceptionally abstruse and striking.

“No need.” He leisurely brushed away the droplet on his fingers, leaving behind a series of obvious red prints.

Hei Ze turned towards his direction and raised his eyebrows.

Baili Jia Jue didn’t even spare him a glance, when he brushed past him, his temperature was cold to the extreme, completely emotionless. Only a bone-piercing coldness was present.

Eunuch Sun anxiously followed behind his master, holding burn ointment in his hand.

He already can’t remember how long it’s been since His Highness received a wound. It seemed to be since that big fire in the palace, that he hadn’t seen any other scars on His Highness’ body.

How could be burned by a cup of hot tea today, Eunuch Sun’s heart was full of remorse that he didn’t personally serve Baili Jia Jue.

None of noble sons considered this matter to be of any importance, because looking at Third Prince’s expression, he didn’t seem unhappy in the slightest. The upward curving arc on his lips was even more pronounced than usual. Eunuch Sun was just making a fuss about nothing.

Yet Retired Emperor after all, was Retired Emperor. This was his grandson. Even though since childhood, the young one’s been difficult to see through, yet he also understood his temperament.

The young one just wasn’t happy…
