Chapter 443: How Profound Were Their Feelings For Each Other
Of course one had to love one’s significant other rationally, this was common knowledge from ‘the Mercenary Tycoon’, were they even unaware of such common sense? People who did not read novels were really scary, they were not in the least bit civilized!
At this very moment, in another corner of the Imperial Palace, the Fifth Prince and Yun Biluo who were both wholly occupied waiting to see Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue fight amongst themselves probably would never understand for the rest of their lives, where and why their plans went wrong.
If Helian Wei Wei were to tell them, it would be due to the fact that the two of them had never read novels before.
The outcome would probably be… hehehe.
About that letter, it did not stay too long in the hands of Helian Wei Wei.
In not more than a quarter of an hour, it had been handed to Baili Jia Jue.
Eunuch Sun obviously felt the temperature of the atmosphere around him began to drop.
Yet his owner just smiled, those pitch-black eyes began to turn ice-cold. “This letter is quite well-written, the person who recorded it, is also quite interesting, not one word is missing, they have done such hard work.”
Eunuch Sun did not dare to say anything, and could only gulp frantically.
Baili Jia Jue held up the teacup in his hand, his fingers paused momentarily, then with a smash!
He threw it outward!
The water splattered across the surface of the table, soaking the Xuan paper placed on it.
“Go and investigate this for me!” Baili Jia Jue said with half-closed eyes, exuding a feeling of oppression that could make a person breathless. “After you have investigated, bring that person to Imperial Grandfather, they have worked so hard, I should treat them well to make up for it.”
Eunuch Sun knew that the ‘treatment’ his owner referring to would definitely be worse than being sent to the dungeons.
The only thing was, in the past, it was extremely rare for His Highness to be so mad.
Even when he killed a person, he was also unruffled, not in the least disturbed by the bloodiness. After completing something, he would wash his hands and change his clothes, always maintaining an immaculate image.
Acting like he did today, directly dealing with someone, was literally rare.
It seemed like, this time, those people must have pushed His Highness over his limit. After all, that letter really should not be read by the princess consort.
Thinking about this, Eunuch Sun hesitatingly said, “So about the Princess Consort…”
Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue’s fingers paused, his eyes darkened and said, “Go and bring me Nangong Lie.”
“Young Master Lie?” Eunuch Sun did not understand why he would call for Young Master Lie at this moment in time.
Baili Jia Jue’s long eyebrows wrinkled, then with a much calmer voice, “He is better at dealing with these types of things.”
Eunuch Sun immediately understood, if it was about pacifying females, Young Master Lie really did have his own way.
In less than half an hour, Nangong Lie clad in a long robe walked to him and immediately sat on the chaise lounge, reaching out to loosen his collar. “Ah Jue, luckily you called me here. That group of oldies, I do not know what has gotten into them recently, but it’s as if they have gone mad, accusing Wei Wei of possessing someone’s body, asking me to divine for them every day. Oh right, so why are you looking for me?”
Baili Jia Jue did not say anything more, instead, he threw the letter straight at him.
After Nangong Lie finished reading it, he smiled evilly. “I couldn’t believe that someone actually dared to eavesdrop on your conversation with the Retired Emperor, have they grown tired of living?”
“I just got this letter from Helian Wei Wei.” Baili Jia Jue said indifferently, his fingers lightly tapping on the wooden table, as if deep in thought.
Nangong Lie had a look of disbelief on his face. “Letters as such obviously cannot fall into her hands. It will definitely cause a misunderstanding, and will affect the feelings between both of you.”
“She did not misunderstand.” Baili Jia Jue looked as though he had suddenly unraveled something questionable, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a smile; his smile left Nangong Lie a little bit dizzy.
“Then can you tell me what I should do?” Nangong Lie was even more confused.
Baili Jia Jue stretched his hands to take the outer robe, then painstakingly buttoned it. “Nothing, I just wanted to show off the feelings between both of us.”
Nangong Lie was rendered speechless…
“Hold on, Ah Jue. Come back here and explain it to me properly! How can you torture me like this!”
Baili Jia Jue did not even react to the voice behind him and began to walk back to the royal chamber.
Helian Wei Wei was at that moment talking to a mercenary clad in black, and after seeing the appearance of him, she then told the mercenary, “That’s all, go and do as I said.”
“Yes.” The mercenary retreated with his eyes facing down. Whenever he brushed past the shoulder of Baili Jia Jue, there would always be an involuntary sense of shiver down his spine.
He was very much aware that, if it was not for this man’s permission, he would not even be able to come in. Even though on the surface, the Third Prince was the one who had restricted Young Master’s freedom. But in actual fact, whatever the Young Master did, this man had never tried to stop…
“I asked the Imperial Kitchen to make you some rose-flavored cake, have you eaten it?” After the mercenary had left, Baili Jia Jue immediately reached to pick her up, and placed her in his lap; his voice was soothingly deep.
Helian Wei Wei yawned and began playing with his hands, comparing the hands of the two of them. “I had a slice, it was not as nice as the apricot cakes, but Little Seven seemed to like it, so I gave the rest to Little Seven.”
“He is at that stage of losing his teeth, what could he possibly taste from it?” Baili Jia Jue chuckled for a moment, then interlacing his fingers with hers, began to say at a much slower pace, “About that letter today, some parts were in fact said by me but other parts were not. However when I was saying it, what I did was to make sure people would not continue to spy on you. Since ancient times, the Imperial Palace has always been a place of people with unscrupulous intent. I will sooner or later get rid of those people from the four influential families, just wait and see, when the time is ripe, I will make all of them shut their mouths.”
In this world, only people who were dead were the safest.
Helian Wei Wei saw that both his eyes reflected a growing sense of violence, and after having a thought, she leaned across, and directly kissed his eyelids, “I know, but there is something that makes me really mad.”
“What is it?” Baili Jia Jue’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, and said while yawning indolently, “What do you think the people who sent this letter were thinking? Were they trying to make fun of my intelligence? How well you have treated me on a daily basis, I know it deep inside my heart. Even if one were to rear a dog, the dog would not bite its owner, what more a person? Can they not see that my neck has a chain and my character is actually that of a loyal bossy president? What a bunch of fools!”
“Hmm?” Baili Jia Jue caressed her hair, his thin lips drew closer to behind her ears, and with a gravelly deep voice, touched with the flavor of temptation he uttered, “Repeat the last two words.”
Helian Wei Wei paused in confusion, “Which two words?”
“What cannot be bitten?” Baili Jia Jue said absent-mindedly, his hands were already sliding into her clothes. That handsome face of his was wearing a sense of nonchalant abstinence, as though the person who was doing such a thing, was not him at all.
It was most likely the issue of disposition, that made people feel that this sort of contrasting behavior was even more stimulating.
Helian Wei Wei felt her whole body heat up and was unwilling to say those two words.
But how could Baili Jia Jue let her off so easily? After several moments of heated touching, still with her robes between them, he slowly kissed down the path of her shoulder with one hand holding her waist from behind her while the other was undoing those bothersome knots, gently biting her ear and said with depravity, “Be a good girl, tell me, what cannot be bitten?”
