The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 446: Feeling Sorry For His Highness

Upon listening to Helian Wei Wei, Qing Zhan opened her mouth, “I…”

Helian Wei Wei glanced at her and said, “You’re now working for me. I don’t wish to have any misunderstanding between the Third Prince and my servant. He is neither cold-blooded nor a bully to the weak. It’s just when somebody was trying to provoke him, he would remove the party. In the War Dragon Empire, people from inside and outside the palace are trying to kill him every single day. Now, he is just a little bit strict, and you have already seen him as a cruel person. You’re sympathetic toward the Fifth Prince for being treated like that as he is still young. Let me ask you, how about the Third Prince who was defamed by people when he was still a child? Didn’t he feel sad too? He did not even offend anyone at that time. In contrast, as you mentioned, the Fifth Prince already had the intention to murder as a child. Yet, you’re trying to defend him because he is still a youngster. Does that mean that he could simply stab someone and those who were injured by him should express their gratitude to him?”

“I… I…” Qing Zhan felt ashamed after hearing what Helian Wei Wei had said. It was illogical for her to sympathize with the Fifth Prince. After the Princess Consort pointed out to her, she finally realized how st*pid she was. Her cheeks were flushed as she uttered, “Please forgive me, Princess Consort. I will never have such thoughts in my mind anymore.”

Helian Wei Wei did not speak as pain struck her heart.

She encountered such a condition before in her modern times.

The moment she made her decision to take revenge, she knew that she would have to work independently.

Sympathy is for the weak who grieves.

For Helian Wei Wei, there was only criticism and rejection.

If the ‘weak’ did not do such a disgusting matter, Helian Wei Wei would not even bother her!

Like now, did Baili Jia Jue do anything wrong? Was it wrong for him to protect himself? Obviously not.

However, even her servant viewed him as vicious and merciless.

Helian Wei Wei felt that she should stop talking about that anymore. That moment, all she wanted was to wait for him to come back and give him a hug…

Patter.

The rain started pouring.

The sky turned gloomy.

In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Emperor was listening to the screams of the Fifth Prince. He held his teacup, gazed at Baili Jia Jue for seconds and said, “Your intention in bringing this letter is to let me punish your Fifth Brother. He committed a crime, you should be happy now.”

“Not at all.” Baili Jia Jue said with a flat tone. “As a prince, he is not supposed to do such a thing. Isn’t it fair for him to get punished now?”

According to him, this kind of people should be given the death penalty.

Now that he was only getting beatings, there was nothing for him to be happy with.

“That’s your personality,” the Emperor sneered, “Not to say you are ruthless and tough in handling issues, you can even ignore brotherhood. It seems like you’re not afraid of anything. Well, you have been staining your hands with blood since young after all. Not to mention this time.”

Baili Jia Jue took a sip of tea and said, “Father, you shouldn’t pardon Fifth Brother. If he continues with such behavior, he can take me away from the position of crown prince one day. Looking at his means this time, he is definitely more interested in your throne compared to me.”

The Emperor was frustrated upon hearing that. After a severe cough, he reached for the medicinal herb immediately and consumed the medicine. He could not do anything to Baili Jia Jue but to see him leaving the palace casually. It was irritating. He would have swept away all the tea sets on the table to the floor if his servants did not hold him by the side!

The reaction of the Emperor was all under Baili Jia Jue’s expectations.

There was a sense of alienation between them although he was also his son.

He had always been pampering his fifth son. Now that his true colors had been revealed by Baili Jia Jue, he was disappointed. His son must have hated him as well.

He was used to it throughout the years.

Compared to Baili Jia Jue who did not care too much, Helian Wei Wei who seldom threw a tantrum was indignant upon hearing the conversation from the Palace of Heavenly Purity. She was so angry that she swept objects off the table.

Looking at her, Yuan Ming and Whitey who were in the Fantasy Space stunned.

They had been following this woman for a long time.

Before that, she would never be this mad no matter how terrible a situation she encountered.

Perhaps, no one understood how painful Helian Wei Wei felt.

How can a father even say that to his biological son?

He did not do anything wrong in this case.

Why should he bear all the reprehension?

Helian Wei Wei clenched her fists and placed them on her lap. Her gaze was so dim and cold that her servants dared not approach her.

Baili Jia Jue came back and saw this scene.

Eunuch Sun whispered to him, “The Princess Consort already knew the news regarding the Fifth Prince…”

Baili Jia Jue’s fingers froze. There were some means that he did not hope to be seen by her but somehow, he could not avoid them.

“You…” Baili Jia Jue was about to speak.

She gave him a forceful hug all of a sudden.

Baili Jia Jue could not understand why she did so. Anyhow, he would definitely accept the hug no matter what intention she had since she initiated it.

“What’s wrong?” He moved her to the soft couch.

Helian Wei Wei looked at him and said, “Next time, please bring me along no matter who you want to deal with. If they dare to bully you, ask for permission from the gun in my hand first.”

As someone so bossy and domineering, she would never allow her partner to get upset.

Baili Jia Jue was dumbfounded by her unexpected words. He smiled with his eyes full of warmth and said, “Are you talking about the Emperor? He said those words because of his fear toward me. He hated me and he wishes to strick me off as he is afraid that I will affect his position. If Fifth Brother did not make such a big mistake this time around, he would never deal with him for my sake. The palace is quite an interesting place, he has been cautious with everyone but he kept an ungrateful and vicious person with him.”

Helian Wei Wei listened to him quietly. After being furious, her hair was poofy and she looked confused.

Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and gave her a kiss on her long hair. He sneered as he said, “Don’t worry. I have exposed everything in front of His Highness. Thus, he might not be able to have a good sleep for the whole night. As for Fifth Brother, he is in an awkward situation right now. Compared to his punishment, this would make him even more uncomfortable.”

“Alright.” Helian Wei Wei smiled. She gazed at him for a few seconds and said, “Your idea is so trenchant.”

Upon hearing that, as if he was burnt, Baili Jia Jue’s movement froze mid-air but he did not let Helian Wei Wei notice…
