Chapter 328: His Highness Was Really, Really Extremely Powerful
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After knowing the truth, Helian Jiao Er was totally paralyzed on the ground.
It was an ending that she did not expect at all.
Her mother's guess was all incorrect.
His Highness would not be affected by anyone.
It was still the same even though Yun Biluo was here.
Similarly, Murong Changfeng was not able to respond to the truth, as if he could already witness that their big plan for years had collapsed in a second.
Either his father or his aunt, they both underestimated Baili Jia Jue...
Helplessly, Yun Biluo bit her thin lips as she looked at the Shadow who was standing at the side.
The Shadow did not dare to speak at this moment.
However, even though he said nothing, Baili Jia Jue would not forgive him easily. Baili Jia Jue tapped on the Shadow's face gently with his hand, what a good looking and devilish appearance. "Shadow, how long have you been by my side? You have just messed up the task that I assigned to you, and what did I tell you? You need to report to me immediately if someone meets with the princess consort. Why was this time an exception? It seems like my means are not being applied properly."
Hearing those words, the Shadow turned utterly pale. "Your Highness, listen to me. I did not know that Lady Yun went to meet the princess consort..."
"Then what do you know?" Baili Jia Jue pinched his throat suddenly. All of the shadow guards were shocked by the strength and coldness of Baili Jia Jue.
The Shadow was in pain, but he realized that he had been too arrogant, "Your Highness, it was all my fault."
"Shadow. " Baili Jia Jue retreated his hand and emotionlessly said to the Shadow, "I am giving you the last chance to settle this. Otherwise, all of you will stay underground and don't even think of getting out for the rest of your life."
After the words were spoken, not only the shadow guards, even the death knights had their expressions changed!
All of them lowered their heads, they dared not disrespect Helian Wei Wei ever again!
Meanwhile, Yun Biluo looked at Baili Jia Jue walking past her unconcernedly. She felt a sudden panic in her heart.
"Your Highness, if you do not like me disturbing Miss Wei Wei, I will not do that anymore. If I knew that getting to know her would cause Your Highness to be upset, I would not have done it in the first place."
As she spoke, Yun Biluo tried to grab Baili Jia Jue's sleeve nervously. Her pretty eyes could not help but shine with light crystals, showing a sense of unconcealable fragility and misery.
Baili Jia Jue stopped, lifted his gaze to look at her and spoke emotionlessly, "Then, get out of my sight, don't play tricks before my eyes."
Hearing those words, Yun Biluo's expression became paler. Although his tone was light, she could not bear to look at his gaze that was icy cold. Timidly, she explained, "I just wanted to meet..."
However, Baili Jia Jue did not have the intention to speak to her at all. His tall and straight body just went past her...
Yun Biluo gave out a sob as if she was wronged, her pale and fragile little face could not help but attract compassion from others.
Helian Wei Wei was unable to move, but she could still hear. She raised her brows as she stared at Baili Jia Jue who was approaching her. She did not say anything, as her abdomen was tremendously painful.
She was in so much pain that she only had one question throughout the entire time.
Was the scene caused by the Third Prince today in an effort to take revenge for her?
It probably was.
But, it was the first time that she had heard so many words from him.
His each and every sentence was more hurting than her inflicting pain using her hands.
At least, she could not make a person cry only with words.
But... was Yun Biluo not the one he treasured the most?
Was hatred born because of love?
Helian Wei Wei raised her brows again.
"Shadow. " Baili Jia Jue paced until he was in front of Helian Wei Wei. With his eyes still on her, he gave instructions to the man beside him, "You deal with the aftermath, I still have important matters to discuss with the princess consort."
Helian Wei Wei, ...discuss, discuss what?
"You have the guts to meet and then part with me as you wish, but now you don't even dare to look at me?" The man's voice echoed in her ears.
In her heart, Helian Wei Wei thought that her movements were obviously hindered by the Body Restriction Spell. That was why she was unable to move, there had nothing to do with guts.
"Have I ever told you before that your tiny little wee brain is totally useless." There was irony in his tone.
Helian Wei Wei only replied to him with a soft hum. It was not the first time anyway that he had mocked her intelligence.
"When other people were here to steal away your man, where did your fearless and valiant attitude go?" At this moment, Baili Jia Jue's graceful voice sounded a little weird.
Her man?
"I thought you were popular because of your cockiness and could defeat all of the enemies in the universe?" Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand and lifted her chin.
Helian Wei Wei felt that it was her time to be proud. Confidently, she replied, "Those were names given by others."
As she finished her words, she felt that Baili Jia Jue's gaze was icier than before.
After thinking for a while, she added, "In fact, I am like that, of course, I would never allow anyone to take away my belongings, so I have already returned all the favors. Lady Yun did not have a great time dealing with me too."
She just needed to speak the truth anyway, so she did.
Who knew, after hearing her response, Baili Jia Jue laughed instead of getting angry. Then, he continued, "If there was ever such a situation again, all you need to do is to reveal your identity. Remember that you are the Third Princess Consort and not anyone else here. "
As he spoke, his gaze lightly swept across the crowd.
Just a few moments ago, they had witnessed the legendary tactics of the Third Prince.
So, not one person had the courage to lift his or her head.
Shadow stayed to settle things, whereas the rest of them were abnormally well-behaved.
Qing Zhan was standing at the side all the time and there was nothing but surprise in his heart.
It was the very first time that she had seen His Highness standing up for someone in front of the public.
Moreover, it looked like he had come specially to help the princess consort out?
Anyhow, the students in the academy were finally well-mannered now.
On the other hand, the masters from all courtyards wanted to meet with Baili Jia Jue, alone.
However, all of them were rejected by the Shadow with the reason, "His Highness prefers peace now, so just carry out the examination as usual."
Only then they realized that the examination on summoning the mystical beast was still ongoing.
But undeniably, Helian Wei Wei who was able to summon the dragon god already became the ultimate winner. action
The dragon god was hovering above the Inferior Compound, with meaningful eyes.
Unreasonably, it had a constant feeling that the man inside felt familiar.
This familiar feeling was bothering it a lot...
However, it knew that if it continued to fly around like that, it would bring trouble to Helian Wei Wei. So, it might as well went into the lake first, and waited for the crowd to subside.
After being held down for such a long time, it needed to recover its power too...
In the room.
With sweat on her forehead, Helian Wei Wei was holding onto the blanket tightly. She looked up at Baili Jia Jue who had cornered her, not understanding his real intention...
"Tell me, why do we need to terminate the agreement?" Baili Jia Jue said in a soft voice. Within the cold tone, there were traces of ridicule, "You should at least have a reason if you wish to leave me so desperately."
Chapter 329: His Highness Treated Wei Wei Well

Helian Wei Wei glanced at her left arm which was being held down by him, "If my reason is convincing enough, will you release me?"
"So you really have the intention to leave me." Baili Jia Jue's slightly narrowed eyes deepened all of a sudden. Just by looking at the depth gathered within his eyes, Helian Wei Wei felt slightly restless. She took her eyes off Baili Jia Jue unconsciously.
"Look at me and tell me, what your thoughts are."
There was a sense of restrained unpleasantness in his deep voice. All of a sudden, the hand that was surrounding her waist tightened its grasp!
The strength was so forceful that it made Helian Wei Wei feel a slight pain around her waist. She could not help but frown, and replied emotionlessly, "I admit that I did think of leaving you because I was not sure that the agreement you signed was either intended to appease the Retired Emperor, or you wanted me to be your shield from Yun Biluo. I could somewhat understand if it was the former. But if it was the latter, then I would need to reconsider my future and find another way for myself."
"You are not a shield." Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and stared into her black pupils. His emotion was complicated, but he did not hide from Helian Wei Wei. "You are my prey, the prey that appeals to me the most."
With her head throbbing in pain, Helian Wei Wei gave her abdomen a rub, "Yeah, I know this." He would lock her up as he liked; it was obvious that he had taken her as his prey. Besides, right from the very beginning, this man had treated her like he was hunting and had wanted to get to her by all means.
"Does my prey need to be anyone's shield?" Baili Jia Jue asked politely.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless in front of a person in such a courteous manner.
However, it only lasted for a while, just then, Helian Wei Wei seemed to apprehend some kind of information. Without blinking her eyes, she stared into Baili Jia Jue's eyes, "How many preys do you have, Your Highness?"
"Two." Baili Jia Jue felt that she was just trying to switch the subject, so he scowled as he answered.
With some complications in her eyes, Helian Wei Wei asked, "One is me? The other one is Fire Qilin?"
"Yes." Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips, as if he was smiling but actually not. "Are you trying to talk about this now so that I don't punish you right away?"
Helian Wei Wei continued to stare at him until Baili Jia Jue's thin lips formed a straight line.
Then, she asked again, "How about Yun Biluo? Why did you not keep her as your prey?"
"Do you think that anyone out there can be my prey?" Baili Jia Jue replied with a cold tone, as he was unhappy that she kept asking about some trivial matters.
After Helian Wei Wei heard what he said, she was suddenly stunned.
She had anticipated for many kinds of situations.
However, she did not expect that this would be the one.
Besides the Fire Qilin and it was her...
"Baili Jia Jue, you have never liked anyone before, haven't you?" With her exhausted body, Helian Wei Wei asked another question.
Finally, Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth and he replied with slight mockery, "Like? No."
No wonder your emotional intelligence was so low, Helian Wei Wei gave out a long sigh. It seemed like she had found out unintentionally about some hidden secrets.
Then it was most probably because His Highness had treated her slightly different from others.
Although such thought was narcissistic, she could only apprehend it that way.
Helian Wei Wei was previously involved in a case, whereby the serial killer was equipped with the same mentality. The ones he favored would be his prey.
Of course, she was not saying that Baili Jia Jue had the tendency of becoming a serial killer.
No, after giving it more thoughts, he did have the potential!
Anyway...
Helian Wei Wei did not know the reason why her face was suddenly burning, but she cleared her throat and spoke, "I heard from people around that you had treated Yun Biluo differently since you were young? Why did you not just keep her as your prey?"
"She was a servant arranged by my Queen Mother." Baili Jia Jue gave a short answer at first, then he continued casually, "Moreover, I did not like to keep prey when I was young, I was only interested in killing people."
Helian Wei Wei...Your Highness, what kind of childhood did you actually have?
Baili Jia Jue realized that Helian Wei Wei did not say anything, so he thought that she felt embarrassed about what he had done. His smile became colder, "Why, do you feel uncomfortable after knowing all these?"
"No." After Helian Wei Wei answered Baili Jia Jue, involuntarily she thought of Young Master Tang. Unless it was not a choice, nobody would be willing to learn how to kill at a young age. After much thought, she added, "I know that the palace is not an ordinary place, you were just trying to protect yourself."
Baili Jia Jue stood in amazement, not because of anything, it was just that the lady in front of him was patting his head as she uttered those words.
Therefore, the prey he had an eye for was indeed interesting.
It was too interesting to the extent that he did not want to let her go anymore.
Helian Wei Wei also felt that her way of comforting a person was too forthright and it was not suitable for His Highness. But she had already moved and she could not possibly have retreated her hand at that moment. Besides, her abdomen was in so much pain that her face turned pale. "Actually, I am not feeling well."
"Which part of your body is hurting?" Baili Jia Jue asked as he moved his fingers.
Helian Wei Wei stopped him immediately. "You don't need to unlock me, but I have to tell you that my gown might be stained because of my period." action
No matter how ignorant Baili Jia Jue was toward the sufferings of people, he knew what a period was. Furrowing his brows together, he got off the bed.
Helian Wei Wei had no idea what he was going to do, but he really did not unlock her before leaving.
She was too lazy to struggle too, especially after speculating about Baili Jia Jue's thoughts.
It would only be a waste of her stamina if she kept up with the struggles.
Although she wished to tell Baili Jia Jue desperately that she was a human and a totally different type of being than the Fire Qilin, she guessed that even if she did voice out her opinion, His Highness would not understand her anyway.
It was more realistic for her to have a good sleep instead.
Helian Wei Wei turned sideways and kept her hands on her abdomen. She was feeling rather sick, with cold sweat running down her forehead as if she was floating in the air.
She was awake when Qing Zhan came to change her outerwear.
After that, she heard intermittent noises from outside, hoping that they could keep it down, but she was too tired to speak.
Just let them be.
Baili Jia Jue definitely would not run around aimlessly, he had directly invited the imperial physician over.
The imperial physician had seen many patients over the years, but this was the first time that he was summoned because of menstruation. He was too shy to take Helian Wei Wei's pulse, so he only spoke to Baili Jia Jue obediently, "His Highness, whenever a woman has her period and catch a cold, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. You..."
"She is in pain." With an emotionless tone, Baili Jia Jue interrupted the imperial physician.
The imperial physician could feel the numbness in his scalp just by looking at Baili Jia Jue's stare, he reached out to wipe his forehead, "Well... it is undeniable that some would suffer more."
"Is there any solution?" Baili Jia Jue's frown deepened, creating heavy tension in the air.
The imperial physician thought for a while, "This young lady might feel better if she were to drink some ginger syrup."
"Might?" Apparently Baili Jia Jue was not satisfied with his reply, "Please provide her a prescription that is able to remove the source of the pain."
A prescription that is able to remove the source of the pain? It was difficult for the imperial physician. "Your Highness, there is really no prescription to heal this kind of pain entirely." There were no past records too in the medical field that there was a medicine that could cure period pain instantly.
Chapter 330: His Highness' Gentleness

Baili Jia Jue looked at the imperial physician who was standing next to him motionlessly and uttered, "What a quack!"
Quack... A quack?!
To believe that he had been practicing medicine for more than ten years, and he had gained a substantial amount of prestige when he was with the Retired Emperor, but now he was being accused as a quack for mere menstrual pain...
The imperial physician who felt wrongly accused began to look up at the beam and shed tears.
Baili Jia Jue looked down and no one knew what he was thinking about, and eventually, he frowned and began to give instruction to the imperial physician, "You, go and buy some ginger."
The imperial physician gave out a cry.
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you say that she needs to drink brown sugar syrup with shredded ginger?"
The imperial physician was agitated by Baili Jia Jue's gaze who made him appear like an id*ot. Since he thought he was a quack, why did he still utilize the method that he mentioned?
Although the imperial physician bellowed, he still bought the things that he ought to buy and boiled the sugar syrup as he admitted to his misfortune.
Baili Jia Jue sat next to the soft couch. He seemed to have recalled something, hence he threw the outerwear he put on today to Shadow. "Take this away and burn it."
"Yes." Now, Shadow dared not ask about the reason anymore, even if this outerwear was freshly made today, and the fabric was the most expensive silk from Suhang.
Since His Highness was disgusted and felt that it was dirty, then it could only be burnt.
Helian Wei Wei was still asleep, and her slightly wet black hair scattered on her small face, making her look like a little beast with soft claws that was trapped.
Baili Jia Jue thought that he would enjoy seeing her in this state at first because she could only be peaceful in such a condition.
However, he felt that this was annoying. action
He raised her wrist with his finger and it hung limply.
Inexplicably, he found this extremely unpleasing.
When the imperial physician pictured this scene, he was hesitant to bring in the sugar syrup.
Baili Jia Jue voiced out, and instructed coldly, "Put the bowl there."
"Noted." The doctor knew that he would be considered insensible to such a situation if he chose to stay at this moment. After putting the bowl down, he left with his head down.
Baili Jia Jue took the porcelain bowl and drank a sip of the sugar syrup without thinking about anything. Then, he leaned down, and he put his thin lips on her pale lips, transmitting the sugar syrup to her...
Qing Zhan who was still serving at the side left the room stiffly upon laying her eyes on this scene.
Helian Wei Wei was partially asleep, all she could sense was the strength from the huge hands around her waist which was making her feel very comfortable.
Coupled with the surrounding aroma of sandalwood that she was familiar with, she slept even more soundly.
Baili Jia Jue held Helian Wei Wei in his arms together with the blanket. His long legs were slightly raised, and the robe was scattered around him, causing him to look even more dashing.
"No matter what, you won't be able to leave me..." he said after a long time. Suddenly, he grasped Helian Wei Wei tightly, capturing her weak body temperature. His eyes echoed his loneliness although he held the power of controlling the world...
The night gradually drew in, and the wind blew from all directions of the mountain, bringing along a bitter chill.
Everything was quiet at this moment, and there was complete silence around the General's residence except the cry of defeat from Helian Jiao Er. "What should I do, Mother? This time, I have nothing left, to marry the Huai'an eunuch, I am better off dead!"
However, what else could be done? Is it possible to dismiss the order given by the Third Prince personally?
When Helian Jiao Er returned, they had no idea who the Huai's had listened to. They blocked the entrance of the General's residence, claiming that they wanted to marry the bride.
Helian Jiao Er was forced to this extent, so she could only silence the scandals by marrying into the Huai family.
There were no other ways at all.
Madam Su bit her teeth; she extremely hated Helian Wei Wei, but she could not figure out anything.
Helian Guang Yao looked at the mother and daughter with his squinted pair of eyes. He did not want to care about the internal affairs of his household initially, but now if he was not going to take care of it, his dearest daughter was really going to be destroyed.
This was not the main reason.
All along, Helian Guang Yao had always hoped that Helian Jiao Er could marry into a good family, so she was being taken care of carefully since she was young.
All of that had been ruined by this person now.
If he still did not take any action, then that girl might really ride on his head!
This was the one thing that Helian Guang Yao could not bear.
He thought for a long time and then opened his mouth in a serious tone, "Jiao Er is the reincarnation of Phoenix girl, whether or not she marries a good family will have an impact on the four families. Madam, now you can ask someone to go to the Spirit Shrine Hall, and ask the elders to come forward to convince the Huai's. As long as the Huai's take the initiative to annul the marriage, I, Helian Guang Yao will give him a satisfactory compensation."
"You mean to let The Huai's annul the marriage?" Madam Su was stunned, "But if we were to do so, won't our Jiao Er be considered as a rejected girl from a marriage?"
Helian Guang Yao glanced at her. "This is the only thing that we can do now. It is better to be rejected from marriage than to marry into the Huai family. Additionally, even if the marriage is annulled, after about ten days, I can take the real control of the General's residence as well as the entire Helian family. Jiao Er is my daughter and she has the support of the four families. Who else would not want to marry her in the future?"
Su Yan Mo felt that it made sense, and immediately called upon someone and carefully gave some instructions, before she commented, "Old Master, I really don't understand why Wei Wei would always want to fight with our Jiao Er, and every time she hurt her so much. I am a mother, and I am angry and irritated, but I can't figure out a way to deal with her. Old Master, you once said that her life must be kept because after all, even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs. However, look at Wei Wei's current position, she must have hated us to the extent that she wants to make us miserable in every way. I heard my brother said that not only Jiao Er became like this, but she had also even stirred up trouble for the Su family's business in Jiangnan. Old Master, you can't just let her be like this anymore."
"Yes, father, you can't condone her like this anymore!" Helian Jiao Er burst into tears and looked pitifully. "She has not had enough by hurting the Third Sister, and now she still wants to do me harm. She always thought that you treated her badly, but she doesn't even think about the fact that if it was not for our father, she would have already starved to death by the roadside! In fact, I don't want to blame the Elder Sister for these things, but she has really gone too far!"
"I know." Helian Guang Yao raised his eyes and said, "Previously, you said that the girl's soul had been replaced by someone else, I have always placed this matter on my mind. I have already contacted someone to help me check on it. There is already some information found, and the contact has also entered the White Academy. As for other matters, that girl wants to interfere with family discussion right? I have already made plans in advance. It is very simple to bribe a few elders, not to mention that I am the only one who may have a military rank. Even if the girl has the Third Prince behind her back, it will not help much. You can just wait and see, how she will be isolated during the family meeting on that day. She thought that she could seize the position with brawn and martial arts? Oh well, I will definitely not grant her this opportunity."
As Su Yan Mo heard this, she smiled happily, "Old Master, I know that you always have the best idea!"
Does the little rascal have the chance to take back the General's residence?
No way!
