The Anarchic Consort
chapter-609

Helian Wei Wei remained silent. With her chin resting on her hand, she smiled at her.

Her stare sent cold chills down Yun Biluo’s spine. She drew a breath before she looked up with her puffy red eyes. “Even if you despise me, you should have told His Highness. In such cold weather, you just let me stand out here like a fool, isn’t it too…”

“Who told you to come in without my permission?” The little boy interrupted her sentence apathetically.

Yun Biluo was startled for a second. Soon, her eyes widened. “Y-Your Highness…”

“Get lost,” Those two words brought no emotions.

Yun Biluo knew her impatience broke her master’s rules. Nevertheless, she did not expect His Highness to not listen to whatever she had to say.

“Your Highness!” Yun Biluo still wanted to say something.

The little boy looked at her coldly. “Looks like you haven’t stood long enough. Go back and repent on whether I should go and pay my respect. Stop crying, I can tell if your tears are crocodile tears or genuine ones with just one look.”

What, what does it mean?

Yun Biluo took on a ghastly expression; even her fingers shivered.

Helian Wei Wei walked toward her, chuckled by her ear, “I’ve told you. There’s no need for me to punish you.”

Yun Biluo only then came to realize she had fallen into a trap!

Her original plan was to enrage Helian Wei Wei, making His Highness lose his trust in this woman!

In the end, she herself was provoked instead and even lost His Highness’ trust…

Yun Biluo clenched her fists tightly but she did not dare to say a word. She merely bit her lip and replied Baili Jia Jue, “Yes.”

Then, she dragged her feet and stood back at her original position.

The freezing breeze sliced through her face like a blade. She had never endured such excruciating suffering. The chillness reached her core as if she was trapped in an ice cellar that she could not escape, only to tolerate in anguish.

The little boy looked away, pinched his glabella then laid his eyes on Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei directly admitted, “I cannot stand the bullying. Whatever she did to me, I would have to return it back to her. You should blame those people around you who are thinking too much. Tell me, I’ve been treating you so well but you keep doubting me. You can’t be like this. You have to be grateful, also…”

She kept on mumbling and mumbling. Suddenly, silence overfilled the atmosphere to the point that it made her hair stand on end.

Once she looked up, the little boy stared at her mockingly. The coldness she felt from it was prominent.

Helian Wei Wei cleared her throat and shut up.

“Are you done?” The little boy laughed, without a sense of warmth.

Helian Wei Wei was eager to continue, “Actually, not yet…”

“Try saying another sentence and see if I’ll throw you out as well.” The little boy smirked charmingly.

Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, smashed the bowl in her hand onto the ground, then drew a deep breath. “Drink the red dates soup,” she said.

The boy did not expect such an exaggerated reaction from her. His fingers were stiff as a stone. That moment, he thought she would turn around and leave.

“Never mention the phrase ‘get lost’ ever again.” Helian Wei Wei dropped her sight to the ground. “You will not bear to throw me out. When you get older, you will just lock people up. No matter how angry you are, with that mercurial personality of yours, you’ll just confuse yourself. So, I cannot leave, I have to take you back. Pride means nothing to me anyway, I’ll let you shatter it as you like.

Upon hearing her words, the little boy quieted down. He drank a sip of the red dates soup, showing signs of unprecedented obedience.

Helian Wei Wei smiled and carried him up. “Let’s continue with external cooling. It’d be faster.”

The little boy coughed a few times. A faint redness smeared across both his cheeks. He remained cold but did not push Helian Wei Wei away.

Prey needed to be appeased.

Since she loved hugging, he would allow her to do so for a little while. There was no master who was as considerate as him.

Who cared about growing up. He was who he was.

If she desired a more mature and powerful master, he could give it to her now as well.

He sank deep into his thoughts, gripping Helian Wei Wei’s hands tightly.

As long as she did not leave, he could give her anything…

He slept soundly. If it was not for the rushing footsteps outside the door, Baili Jia Jue would not be awake so early. His palms still felt warm when he woke up and this soothed him. Then, he tucked her in before walking toward the door.

“Your Highness.” A silhouette noticed him and nervously said, “The Eldest Prince visited the Emperor. He said Your, Your…”

“Said what?” The boy did not let out a word. Helian Wei Wei heard the noise but she closed her eyes. She did not know why but she had a bad hunch suddenly.

The silhouette tilted his head down and continued in his shaking voice, “…said Your Highness is evil and ruthless, and that you have murdered his eunuchs. He also said you are preying on the crown prince position; thus, harming the people around him.”

Such accusations which were pointed against Baili Jia Jue was something that he could not take at all.

After he grew up, he was still protected by his martial spirit as well as the Retired Emperor.

However, the Retired Emperor was away now and he was a child without any foreign relations. How could he handle it?

Does the Eldest Prince intend to take his life?

“Got it.” The boy remained calm and asked, “After he said that, what was my father’s reaction?”

The silhouette shook his head. “I don’t know how the Emperor reacted but the news of this matter has spread around the palace. Your Highness, shouldn’t you make a move and visit the Emperor?”

“No,” Helian Wei Wei looked solemn. “The Emperor has always been skeptical. Hence, we should not talk too much about this matter. We should just treat it as a joke. No one will believe an unarmed child has killed an adult eunuch. If Your Highness go now, you will only draw unwanted attention from the Emperor.”

The little boy turned around and took a glance at her.

Helian Wei Wei thought he did not believe in her. She stated her words firmly, “Do not let the Eldest Prince simply slander you.”

“Hmm,” the boy replied. No one knew what he was thinking about but he listened to Helian Wei Wei’s advice. He did not go anywhere and just stayed in his hall for roughly three days to nurse himself back to health.

In the span of three days, Yun Biluo acted more decently. The moment she looked at her painful hands, hatred seeped through her eyes. She wanted to seize the opportunity to tell the Empress on Helian Wei Wei.

The Empress never paid attention to that gloomy son of hers but she did not like how the things he had done was out of her control. Although he did not come in to pay his respect, it did not spoil her mood, instead, she was glad. However, as for the new palace maid, she admitted she went a bit far.

The Empress stopped her train of thought there. She put down the rouge and asked casually, “How does the palace maid look like?”

Yun Biluo’s eyes flickered. “Oval-shaped face, a pair of bright eyes, with a rather seductive look.”
