Yun Biluo was just a little girl after all and Helian Wei Wei's words almost sent her to the verge of crying."I just want to help His Highness."
"Want to help him?" Helian Wei Wei got hot under the collar when Yun Biluo mentioned about this. She gave a laugh and her eyes were filled with piercing coldness."Tell me, being the girl trained under the Empress, how is it possible that you're not around every time when the Empress hurts His Highness? Why don't you help His Highness to take some of the beatings? Yun Biluo, it looks like your love is really limited."
Moreover, the part that annoyed Helian Wei Wei the most was the fact that Yun Biluo was obviously a few years older than Baili Jia Jue. Even though she might not be able to defy the Empress in terms of status, but at least she could help to intervene in the punishments by bearing some of them on behalf of His Highness. That would be better than nothing. However, right now, it seemed like Yun Biluo would just stand aside and do nothing at the Empress' place.
"She is the Empress!" Not to be outdone, Yun Biluo lifted her little face and responded with a rather impatient tone, "Your lack of consciousness regarding superiority and inferiority will only get His Highness into trouble."
Helian Wei Wei laughed upon hearing her words."You're just afraid, that's it. Don't talk to me about superiority and inferiority. Listen, Yun Biluo. I don't give a damn to whoever it is because nobody can hit my husband!" Not even the Emperor could do so. Any form of ill-treatment should be confronted as long as it was being done in a correct manner. Enduring all the sufferings relentlessly was how he turned into a demon and stained his hands with blood as he grew up.
If only someone could just stand out and stop it, His Highness whom she loved and the one she wanted to give him everything would be awakened by now.
Helian Wei Wei knew that she was venting her anger on others, but she was really mad at this moment as her rage got the better of her. Never had she ever spoken so harshly without any restraint before. Her dazzling eyes seemed sort of unnerving.
Baili Jia Jue was obviously stunned as he looked at Helian Wei Wei. She looked exactly like a little fox with its fur bristled in rage.
She's getting mad over his matter.
Baili Jia Jue had never felt like this before. It was a kind of strange feeling when someone was infuriated over his matter.
Almost everyone in the imperial palace knew what his mother would do to him for calling him to Luanfeng Palace.
But no one felt sorry for him over this.
No one stood up for him as well.
Baili Jia Jue knew that this palace was nothing but a hideous place ever since he was young.
Taking advantage of one another was always the basis of relationships and sincerity was just too good to be true.
Anyhow, he was already used to it without much trouble. These people would eventually be not more than just a game to him after he reached the top.
Therefore, he was puzzled by Helian Wei Wei's fury over what happened to him. He did not get it.
"Your Highness..." Yun Biluo turned her head to look at the confused Baili Jia Jue with tears in her eyes."I really don't understand why Sister started to question me upon coming. What I did is all for your own good, Your Highness."
Instead of looking at her, Baili Jia Jue commanded Helian Wei Wei, "You, come with me now."
All of a sudden, as if she was a punctuated ball, Helian Wei Wei lowered her gaze and looked at the back view ahead of her. She had expected this to happen but it still hurt when she really experienced it herself.
If this were to be the adult him, he would definitely ask Yun Biluo to get lost long ago.
However, life was not about assumptions. He had not grown up and he was merely a child.
The place where he stayed was a total contrast to the luxurious imperial palace. Gloominess was the only word for this place and one even had to hold their coughs back from getting into a coughing spell.
For that reason, he had absolute trust in the people who stayed beside him.
This is not something that she, as a newcomer can compete with.
The thought of this made Helian Wei Wei feel rather frustrated with her head lowered again.
This was what Shadow had caught sight of when he came in. A girl who was almost twice the height of His Highness trod on his heels depressedly as if she were to be taken home for a lesson.
As a shadow guard, he never pried into his Master's affairs but he sensed something was not right when he saw a smile playing on the corners of Yun Biluo's mouth. He reminded her, "Don't go against her too obviously. His Highness will not like you to do so."
"I go against her?" Yun Biluo blinked her eyes and tears started streaming down."You have no idea what she said about me in front of His Highness just now. She said why I didn't help His Highness to take some of the beatings. But that's the Empress, how can I stop her? It's obvious that she's trying to sow discord among us. Perhaps this time His Highness will be able to confirm that she is indeed a spy sent by the Eldest Prince. It's a good thing though."
Shadow paused his steps when he heard her words and said calmly, "I will stop it if I were there."
That was his loyalty as a servant. Even though it meant death, he would still do it.
Yun Biluo was stunned for a while and then she laughed, "Easier said than done." What was the point of stopping? His Highness would not let her do so either. This was just way too silly!
However...
It's about time to go for the greeting. What is actually on His Highness' mind?
Casting her eyes on the closed hall door, Yun Biluo bit her thin lips hard.
Meanwhile, in the hall, Baili Jia Jue threw Helian Wei Wei a glance after giving two little coughs and said faintly, "I thought you said you wanted to help me cool down?"
Does it mean that he's listening to me and not going for the greeting?
Helian Wei Wei's eyes lit up once again and she took out the alcohol and a cotton ball that she had prepared in advance."Go and lie on the couch first. Take off your clothes as well."
"You..." The little boy held his tongue.
Confused, Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows."What?"
"Why were you angry over my matter?" The little boy finally asked.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes bulged."Can I not be pissed off? You're so arrogant most of the time but I dare not even lay a finger on you despite how I feel like pinching you to death. And yet, your mother... what's wrong with her?" She got a feeling that something was wrong with the way he looked at her.
"Feel like pinching me to death?" The little boy threw his clothes aside in an aloof manner."So, is this what you've been thinking, huh?"
His stares sent chills down Helian Wei Wei's spine and she immediately curved her lips into a smile."Don't you get it? It's obvious that I'm confessing my love to you."
Upon hearing that, the nonchalant boy turned his face away and no longer looked at Helian Wei Wei, "Do you always behave like this?"
"What?" Helian Wei Wei began to figure out her weaknesses. What's wrong with me?
The voice of the little boy seemed calmer as he spoke, "Do you always express your love like this? To others as well?"
"Of course not!" Helian Wei Wei hugged the little boy and touched his forehead. She then took the opportunity to confess to him, "I only do this to you. As for the rest, I will just ask them to get lost."
The little boy halted and turned around to look at her. His beautiful slanted eyes were indifferent as if no lights could shine on them. His voice was flat, "What are you trying to imply? Do you want me to drive Yun Biluo away?"
