Chapter 537: Forcing Wei Wei To Abdicate? Dense!

Helian Wei Wei nodded to show that she understood.

Her actions with Baili Jia Jue must have affected quite a number of parties.

It would be normal if the remaining elders were not able to sit things out.

It was just that she did not know what kind of schemes they would come up with…

It was nighttime. Within the bamboo forest, there was a man wearing a robe, standing at a position against the light while holding an old scroll with his fair hand.

“Master.” A shadow fell and landed on one knee. “The whereabouts of Helian Wei Wei have been found. She is indeed not in the palace. In fact, she just entered the Capital not long ago. As to where she had been lately, I am still investigating.”

The man looked back and coughed softly, his voice was as clear as the sound of water dripping onto a jade tray. “No, if she has just entered the Capital, then it’s highly possible…”

What is possible? The shadow could not understand at all.

The man continued, “In less than ten days, from Fuping County to the provincial capital, the authorities in the West direction of the Capital was eliminated entirely by someone with the surname of Wei. Not to mention, at this point in time, she just came back from the outside. Haha, it was really a great move.”

“Master, do you mean that Helian Wei Wei is the person named Wei?” The shadow grew anxious. “Then, aren’t the arrangements that we have done in the imperial palace useless now?”

The man retreated his gaze and with plain emotions, he uttered, “It’s not totally useless. Weren’t the South Study quite stirred up lately? Soon, even the one in the imperial palace will become one of us…”

Snap!

The incense in the heater burned out.

The main hall of the imperial palace was still in magnificent shape.

The carved pillars, fine silk curtains and layers of golden silkworms shrouded over the world behind them like the wonderland of Yao Chi.

In the meantime, just outside the imperial palace, the water in the Imperial River was changing dramatically. A trace of blood rose slowly from the bottom of the water.

Hidden behind the flowers, there was a branch line from the Imperial River. The flowing water should have been as clear as glass.

However, there were signs of blood flowing out when no one was around.

Unable to find the source, thick blood flowed continuously from the source of the river and dyed the clear river red. The taste of blood was fresh, like floating in the sky, like a sweet song…

Snap!

Cartwheels ran over a branch.

When Helian Wei Wei woke up from her nightmare, the carriage had already entered the city.

Baili Jia Jue who was just sitting next to her extended his hand and held her face. Wiping the sweat on her forehead with his fingers, Baili Jia Jue slightly furrowed his brows and spoke in a light tone, “Still not willing to tell me what’s in your dream?”

“I really don’t remember this time.” Helian Wei Wei was telling the truth. There was no impression in her mind, only a very vague feeling.

It seemed as though the nightmares would follow as soon as they reached the Capital.

She then thought about whether she should find out if the Feng Shui in the Capital was suitable for her to stay…

“There’s no need to find that out. Feng Shui in the Capital is very good. It’s just that the Qi here is not right.” Yuan Ming also did not expect that the Qi in the capital would become like this. They had just been away for 10 days.

Back then, when they were in the academy, Yuan Ming had already mentioned the impact the Qi would cause to a city.

Once the peaceful Qi was destroyed, it would most likely attract the invasion of demons…

“That doesn’t sound right. There are so many people in the Capital, so the Qi of Yang should have been at the peak. How could it be so turbid?” Yuan Ming was still talking to himself as that was rare.

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes narrowed. It seemed like the sky over the Capital was about to change…

The thunder rumbled.

The northern after-fall showers came and went in the blink of an eye. However, after the rain, it was pretty cooling.

The rain washed everything away.

At least nothing could be seen anymore at the compound of the imperial palace.

The Third Prince was summoned to the front of the hall as he was required to be present in order to punish the Elder Helian.

The Retired Emperor knew this better than anyone else.

Helian Wei Wei did not go with Baili Jia Jue, instead, she took off her commoner disguise and put on the clothes that she usually wore. At the entrance of the General’s residence, she stood with her tall and slender figure together with only the Little Seventh Prince.

However, Little Seven was enough to defeat hundreds of guards.

“Third Aunt, are we eating here today?” Little Seven was still holding onto the souvenir that he had gotten from the provincial capital… the big crab!

Along the way, the crab had been holding out its pincers in the air. If any ordinary people were to see the crab, it would definitely attack.

The Seventh Prince lowered his head and gave the crab a bite on its leg.

The crab was immediately intimidated by the bite.

For someone who could intimidate a crab with a bite…

The shadow guards looked up and turned their gaze toward the sky. In the whole world, only their little master could achieve that. With such magic, he could indeed accompany the Princess Consort into the manor alone. If things went south, he could still give each of the stewards a bite…

Holding the little man’s hand, Helian Wei Wei trod into the manor.

Every step that she took, the images of her being driven out last time were as clear as crystal.

And now… she was finally back!

Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath and tightened the hand which was hidden under her sleeve. With her long legs, she marched onto the steps.

Behind her was the setting sun, and as the light met the shadow, it was beautiful beyond words.

Whatever that had to happen would happen eventually.

There were a total of 49 stewards in the Helian Clan, and 41 of them came.

They had come to propose the removal of the family heir. As they looked toward Helian Wei Wei, there was despise in their eyes.

The Third Prince had always been thorough in dealing with matters. So up until now, the stewards in the Helian Clan had no idea that the ‘Lord Wei’ whom they had been hearing about lately was actually Helian Wei Wei. They still thought that Helian Wei Wei was just a poor and fair Princess Consort who had no power.

That was why they were gathered here to overthrow Helian Wei Wei.

Without any merits or fame, one would never be qualified to be the heir of the Helian Clan.

That was what the Old Master Helian had mentioned before his death, and it had always been one of the rules in the Helian Clan all this time. As long as there were more than 40 proposals submitted among the stewards, their plan would work.

Bang.

Someone knocked on the table with the tobacco pipe in his hand, and then opened his mouth without any expression, “Eldest Young Lady, you really had us waiting.”

“Sigh, Brother Guo, since the Eldest Young Lady is here now, let’s not waste time talking about nonsense. Tell the Eldest Young Lady about our intention and let her give up on the position herself, then both parties can go along their happy ways.”

“Brother Li is right. Eldest Young Lady, I think you should know the rules of the family very well. Although you have become a Princess Consort of the Royal Family now, the rules cannot be broken. I advise you, Eldest Young Lady, to hand over the power nicely and avoid everyone’s embarrassment.”

At first, Helian Wei Wei did not speak, but instead, she walked up to the main seat. Crossing her slender legs and supporting her chin lazily with her left hand that had a silver ring on, she said wickedly and casually, “What did you say just now? Hand over?”
