"So, listen. You do have a little credit for that."
Everyone turned around.
They saw Baili Jia Jue, outstanding and unrestrained, came from a distance.
His black robes flying, indolent and sexy, like a noble young master who came out straight from a Chinese painting. His eyes cold and detached, a faint light floated in his pupils with a tenth part affection and nine-tenth part ruthlessness.
His thin lips curled and half of his face was covered by a silver mask and revealed a semblance of a smile. His long black hair tied up, giving off a sense of both good and evil.
Then, turning his head away, he bit off the white gloves on his hand, and gently put them aside.
Such Baili Jia Jue is often the most lethal.
It was easy for girls to be infatuated with him.
But only those who knew him well would realize that whenever he entered this state, he would start sorting people out.
He would move forward by exhuming a body for public flogging (flogging a dead body) and would never show mercy. Furthermore, his methods were very special...
From the moment she saw the appearance of Baili Jia Jue, Helian Jiao Er's thoughts had been chaotic. Her heart beat faster, wispy hair around her ears. She raised her moist and bright eyes and looked at him with affection: "Your Highness..."
She believed this kind of gesture could make her look more innocent and delicate. After all, His Highness always liked such a woman.
That lowly girl, that's not the way this should work. Only then would His Highness take it to heart.
Didn't this situation present a great opportunity to her?
Come to think of it, the man had never noticed her before.
For the first time today, His Highness would speak to her!
Helian Jiao Er felt that her chance had finally arrived and was about to say something.
Then Baili Jia Jue continued, "Conspiring to kill people boldly and confidently, except for you, is seldom seen. Since you thought that you have done a meritorious deed, this prince will bestow you with a few things."
Helian Jiao Er stammered and opened her mouth, only then did she realize that Baili Jia Jue did not even look at her.
"Eunuch Sun, I'm issuing a command." Baili Jia Jue's eyes swept over the crowd, his tone was evil and cold as ice, "From now on, the Huai residence will have two ******, let them prepare more betrothal gifts to Madam Su, do you get it?"
Eunuch Sun was stunned at first, and then hesitatingly looked at the Retired Emperor's expression. He wanted to see if the old gentleman also had no opinion.
He just nodded and said a word "Yes."
His Highness' reward was fundamentally to send people at the death's door.
What's more, he's still asking for a bride's gift. Was it on purpose...
Helian Wei Wei also felt a little strange at this time, and could not help but take a look at Baili Jia Jue.
His Highness was cold from start to finish, totally indifferent and cold, which made it impossible for people to guess.
"Your Highness!" cried Helian Jiao Er, her face waned."How could you, how could you!"
"Do you want to defy the Imperial Decree?" Baili Jia Jue frowned coldly.
"I... I..." Helian Jiao Er looked toward the ministers in a haste.
The ministers were somewhat afraid of the elders of the four distinguished families. They knew that the elders especially fond of Helian Jiao Er. When they could open their mouth, they said, "Your Highness, it's not very good to bestow a marriage so rashly. If Prime Minister Su and those on the Defensive Division become aware of it..."
"Wei Wei." Instead of waiting for the minister to finish his speech, Baili Jia Jue's lips curled faintly and called out Helian Wei Wei's name.
Helian Wei Wei answered with a questioning grunt, "En?"
When she thought about it carefully, this seemed to be the first time a certain prince had called her name.
How on earth did that tone sound like barking an order to a commoner?
It was just a bit soft at the end which made it hard to refuse.
"Make him take notice. Look, his grandson was one among those who were poisoned. Just let him die." Baili Jia Jue's voice was very indifferent.
It was this indifference that made the ministers scared from the bottom of their hearts!
The assembly hall was in dead silence.
They would never dare to open their mouths again. They were afraid that the Third Prince would attack them!
Only Helian Wei Wei smiled and assented, "OK."
It was as if she was not afraid of Baili Jia Jue at all, she curled her lips in a lazy manner.
The two people's figures stood ramrod straight with the setting sun as their background, one was as chilly as an immortal and the other one had a light smile like a demoness. Unexpectedly, they appeared to complement each other.
However, since it seemed that the two had joined forces, more people felt a bit frustrated.
At first, there was only one Helian Wei Wei who had made the ministers ever fearful and nervous.
Now, the Third Prince had joined in!
The ministers looked at each other and the cold sweat trickled down the side of their foreheads.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Helian Jiao Er swallowed down the blood inside her mouth and forced a smile."Jiao Er had no intention to defy the will. But Master Huai An has already taken my third sister as his wife. I'm afraid that in doing so, my sister will be uncomfortable."
With these words, she looked at the pale Helian Mei and thought that she might be able to say a word that might help her out of this trouble.
After all, they used to work together like this.
However, she didn't expect this.
Helian Mei laughed, her voice was deep and hoarse, making those who heard felt terrible, "My second sister is thinking too much. How can I feel uncomfortable? I've been with you since I was a child. If we later could stay together, it would be even better. You can rest assured that after you marry, you don't have to come to my house every day to offer tea. Even if you are just a concubine, I'll let Husband take more care of you."
Hearing the words, Helian Jiao Erl opened her eyes wide, as if seeing a ghost, "Third sister, are you insane?"
"Second sister, what are you so excited about?" Helian Mei's eyes emitted a cold glare, "Didn't you just mean that if I agreed, you would obey the Imperial Decree to marry?"
Because Helian Mei said such a word, Helian Jiao Er could no longer maintain her image. Regardless of who was around, she stood up and shouted "Helian Mei, you are insane! You've really gone mad! Who wants to marry a castrate? It's you who hold yourself cheap, who let you and that Huai An fell in love in secret! Can I be compared with you? I'm a treasure in my father's and mother's hands. How can you drag me in!"
"It turns out that's what my second sister thought of me." Blood flew from the corner of Helian Mei's mouth."All's well now, you the family treasure will fall into hell with me. Second sister, you can rest assured that when you come to the Huai residence, I will repay you well!"
Helian Jiao Er honestly did not understand what had happened to her when she listened to Helian Mei's remarks. She had always been a good girl.
Could it be... because of that cup of tea?
After Helian Jiao Er reacted, she looked at Helian Mei again. Her familiar eyes disappeared, replaced by a bone-eroding hatred.
"Third sister, listen to my explanation..."
