The Anarchic Consort
chapter-621

Helian Wei Wei’s headache lingered but she knew that Nangong Lie had taken her for another Helian Wei Wei.

However, she neither confirmed nor denied it.

Because from Nangong Lie’s words, being that Helian Wei Wei seemed to be able to meet Baili Jia Jue very easily.

“But it’s still a little weird, why does it seem like you’ve changed?” Nangong Lie looked at her, sizing her up, “And your skin looks good too…”

Helian Wei Wei did not say anything, the previous Helian Wei Wei and her were different after all. Other than what Nangong Lie said, her character was also different. She was afraid that once she said something, it would give her away…

At this moment, Nangong Lie suddenly smiled with a malicious look on his face, “I thought that you had changed, who knew that you were the same as before. No matter what I say, you would only keep your head down, how boring. But whatever, I can’t help if Ah Jue likes you this way. Come, I’ll bring you to him. If he finds out that you’re the love of his life, then he might even give me one or two of his death knights.”

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes flashed. Ah Jue likes me? What does that mean?

“But, how did you get in? Did you grow wings?” Nangong Lie was muttering to himself, puzzling over something as he walked her towards their destination. He secretly decided that he needed to strengthen the Holy Worship Temple’s defenses.

Helian Wei Wei was not listening to him, she had only one thing in mind, that she could see His Highness soon!

Her pulse was beating fast. Helian Wei Wei was trying to control her trembling fingers so that she would seem more presentable and polite.

I wonder what will he look like this time?

Moreover… since she left so suddenly the last time, would he blame her?

She did not know the reason but whenever Helian Wei Wei thought of that little figure, her heart would ache badly.

“Wait.” Nangong Lie stopped in his tracks, “Ah Jue must still be sleeping at this time. You know him, he loves napping.”

Helian Wei Wei grunted in agreement.

Nangong Lie stared at her silent figure and laughed again, but with a touch of coldness, “Maybe what I’m going to say is not very appropriate of me, but could you perhaps not use this method to worry Ah Jue?”

Helian Wei Wei frowned and opened her mouth to say something.

Nangong Lie smiled and interrupted her, “I know, you feel as though Ah Jue doesn’t like you enough and he doesn’t give you enough sense of security. But you have to understand, whenever you go missing, Ah Jue goes crazy looking for you. He’s a prince, and he’s most likely to succeed the throne. The Empress passed away not too long ago, and Ah Jue is already looking after the Seventh Prince. Plus, he is on a constant lookout for the four influential families. This kind of attitude is nothing but harmful to him, so I urge you to use your brain a little and stop disappearing to verify his love for you, do you understand?”

Nangong Lie’s words gave a lot of insight to Helian Wei Wei.

The Empress just passed away not too long ago, then the one from the Murong family would be controlling the harem now.

And Little Seven who needs to be taken care of…

That would mean Baili Jia Jue was around 16 years old now?

However, what was Nangong Lie saying about the prince liking her?

Helian Wei Wei looked down, there was suddenly a strong feeling of stifling unease.

It should not be what she was thinking, it cannot be!

“Well, go on in. Ah Jue is inside. He threw a fit just now.” Nangong Lie smirked, “I figured that once he sees you, he’ll be fine.”

It was time to meet him, but Helian Wei Wei could not bring herself to move her feet.

She knew that everything happened for a reason.

She was not there when he needed her the most.

Instead, the girl who always delivered his meals was there for him…

She never thought that she would see the day when she got replaced.

When this day actually came, it made Helian Wei Wei feel a little scared.

She had always been ruthless, even with regard to handling matters.

Before meeting Young Master Tang, her world was pitch black, a debilitating sort of darkness. She watched herself sinking deeper and deeper, yet she could not get any help.

Then, she finally gained her abilities and she thought of every way to avenge her mother.

When she snatched away the family business, her father accused her of being heartless.

She even broke one of the concubine’s ribs before her father.

Perhaps she was really heartless, but she also met someone who was truly good to her.

He had raised her as a prey. His methods were not kind either and he would always look at her arrogantly.

However, when her stomach hurt, he would hold her in his arms, so that she would not get cold.

No matter how old he was, he would always put her favorite food in front of her.

What if… this person was no longer there, what would she do?

What if this person gave all of his love to someone else, what would she do then?

“Why aren’t you moving?” Nangong Lie frowned at her.

Helian Wei Wei clenched her fists and straightened her back, “Nothing.” Even if all of those ceased to exist, she still had to take him back.

Nangong Lie laughed. While walking inside, he announced nonchalantly, “Ah Jue, look who I brought!”

In the midst of twirling incense smoke, stood a boy in an ivory white robe. His figure was tall, his straight and powerful legs could be seen. A snow-white fur scarf wrapped around his neck, and there was a scholarly aura around him.

He was flipping through the memorial in his hand casually. He did not even look up. With his light and cool voice, like a good sword that finally presented its point, “One more word and out you go.”

“Ah Jue, why are you so cold, turn around and see who’s here,” Nangong Lie grinned sheepishly and raised his chin in Helian Wei Wei’s direction.

Baili Jia Jue followed his line of sight and sighed a breath of relief, his voice was soft, “Where have you been? Didn’t I ask you to wait here? Why did you disappear all of a sudden? Hmm?”

Helian Wei Wei looked down, and she felt her head buzzing.

She clenched her hands and felt a lump in her throat. She could not even get a word out.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Baili Jia Jue was smiling but his eyes held no warmth, yet he was gentler than usual.

Everyone was saying that the handsome Third Prince had used up all his kind temperament on the Eldest Young Lady of the Helian family.

Nangong Lie had finally witnessed that, but he could not see what was so good about Helian Wei Wei. She was timid and her relationship with Murong Feng was unclear. Why would Ah Jue be so intrigued by her?

Right at this moment, Shadow reported from outside the door, “Your Highness, we found Lady Wei Wei!”

Saying that, he brought in another lady…
