Chapter 265 - Just an antidote
Eunuch Sun paced back and forth while shaking his head. He asked the two palace maids to put the perfumed robe outside the screen quietly, expecting that His Highness would rise from bed soon.
Who would have imagined, no one could hear the noise behind.
Eunuch Sun sighed. He could only go to the Retired Emperor and tell him that His Highness and the new Princess would arrive later so that the Retired Emperor would not have to wait for them.
The Retired Emperor, who was ready to get up and wash, laughed heartily at the news. He said a few good words and stroked his long beard. "Don't rush, let the young married couple rest longer."
Saying this, he looked at Eunuch Sun with a face full of joy. "I didn't expect Jue Er would really do it." He was prepared to hear no noise all night at the bridal chamber.
"Now the old man does not need to be anxious that the girl's return will affect His Highness." Eunuch Sun answered with a smile.
Before he finished this thought, the Retired Emperor's laughter gradually faded down. "You do not understand Ah Jue. Ai...if only it were so..."
In the morning, the breeze was gentle and the sun was up in the sky.
The brilliant light shone in. The bedroom was now decorated like a bridal chamber. The crimson canopy, the golden lamp flickered faintly. Behind the big screen of eight folds of carved flowers was a soft bed covered with gold. The soft bed was covered with dark and luxurious tiger skin. It looked very comfortable.
On the soft bed, there were two slender and beautiful figures.
One of them was confined to a man's embrace, but the porcelain jade-like back was covered with deep and shallow purple-red marks.
When Helian Wei Wei woke up, she felt her body and her head were as heavy as lead. Her temples hurt so much it almost burst. For a moment, she didn't even know where she was. Her whole body seemed to have been torn apart, especially her numb legs.
A musky smell filled the air.
She couldn't help raising her hand and pressing the back of her head to relieve the pain. When she turned her head, she saw where she was.
One of her hands was bound by a thin golden chain and tied loosely to the pillar of the bed. The reason was probably afraid of leaving traces on her wrists. The other hand was on top of a plush.
Memories of last night flooded out like tides. Helian Wei Wei was wide awake and her eyes reflected chilling ice again.
A fierce curse welled up inside her!
She extended her legs and turned around. The brocade in her hand turned into a shawl. She dr.a.p.ed herself like that, while the other hand was shackled…
Helian Wei Wei sneered. She extended her slender arm and exerted her strength!
A snapping sound could be heard and the golden chain broke into pieces!
She turned her wrist lightly and tried to stand up, but she was surrounded by a pair of big hands from behind her waist. The man's dark hair was somewhat messy, hanging scattered in the forehead. There was a kind of unspeakable s.e.xiness on his face. "As it turned out, these things are so weak that they can't tie you up."
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and shook off the man's hand. She stood up indifferently, "Your Highness, has no one told you not touch a medicine man easily?"
"No, but..." Baili Jia Jue turned his head and looked at her with a smile but not a smile expression in his face. He was motionless. He clearly reclined on a soft couch, but still gave people an imposing manner, "On the contrary, this prince feels that the medicine person has a unique flavour."
Helian Wei Wei knew that he was hinting at what she had done last night and laughed softly, but the laughter didn't get into his eyes, "I also think it's good to use Your Highness as an antidote."
"Just as an antidote?" Baili Jia Jue looked into Helian Wei Wei's eyes which were still pure black and clean, without any impurities. But because they were too clean, those eyes did not reflect any figures in them.
This woman didn't have him in her eyes... He's never been there all along.
Baili Jia Jue suddenly laughed, with a wild, fierce smile that made people shudder. "You're truly ruthless."
He was wearing only a half-open, pitch black nightgown so that his honey-coloured skin was clearly visible.
With a gesture from this man, there would be a throng of women following him while shouting, "Male God!"
However...
Helian Wei Wei was not such a woman.
"Otherwise what does Your Highness think?" Helian Wei Wei bent down, emptied her hand and gently patted his face. It was probably tormented the whole night and reached the extreme at this moment. "Your Highness should be glad that you are not the one who took the medicine and did not participate in this matter. Otherwise, on the night of the big wedding, your Highness would be assassinated on the spot, which is a bad thing."
When Baili Jia Jue looked at her movements, he was stunned and laughed again. His black, shining eyes turned into deep and brimming with unknown dangers.
It's this look that made him want to push her down under his body viciously...with ruthless d.e.s.i.r.e!
Helian Wei Wei realized that after he had something to do with his long legs, her eyes narrowed dangerously and threw daggers at His Highness. She then turned around and walked into the washroom. But in her mind, she was a nervous wreck!
All over the world, only the Third Prince would surely achieve this level. He could chat indifferently with others while he was hard down there!
He was supposed to be only interested in men.
He was supposed to be a cut sleeve through and through!
Those were to hoodwink people?
Helian Wei Wei looked at the marks on her neck and suddenly remembered the last moment when he pressed her against the wall and coaxed her to beg for mercy in a low voice.
What a hideous mess!
Helian Wei Wei took a deep breath and soaked in the bathtub. Then she seemed to think of something. Her face was ugly and she came out of the bathtub again. She wiped her long hair with a soft towel and her lip corners curved into an arc. She must find out who had given the medicine!
And these things... Everything that could be cleaned up had been cleaned up, so she would not see it and recalled bad things!
After she dressed properly and darkened her face, she did not even look at Baili Jia Jue. She called out the ladies standing outside and asked who had been here before the big wedding.
The palace maids looked at the new princess who went out from the royal bedroom. They didn't know what had happened, but they answered respectfully, "Few people dare to enter your royal bedroom."
As soon as Helian Wei Wei listened to this, she knew it needed to be checked slowly. She leaned lazily on the imperial consort's chair and raised her hand, pointing lazily at the washroom behind the screen. She refused to suffer any loss at all. "Go and throw out the bathtub."
Chapter 266 - The Princess Sold Some Stuff
"Ah?" The palace maids raised their heads in perplexity and whispered, "But it was just recently made by His Highness. It was made of the finest sandalwood and worth quite a bit of silver."
Helian Wei Wei slowly squinted. "Was it?"
"En." The maid thought she had said something wrong and her neck shrank back.
Helian Wei Wei laughed. "Then clean it up and sell it outside the palace."
What?!
The palace maids were all taken aback, and for a moment almost wondered that something was wrong with their ears.
Helian Wei Wei paused, raised her eyes again, looked at the two palace maids, and smiled as usual: "That's right. There's also that bed behind the protective screen. Try to sell it too. It's made from gold and should worth a lot of money."
What the hell are you thinking, Princess!
That's the treasure His Highness must see every day!
If you sell it, you'll be killed.
The palace maids dare neither to promise nor want to offend the princess who look
ed very annoyed. They just bowed their heads and said, "Here, these..these servants will ask Eunuch Sun for instructions."
"All right, go and ask for instructions." As long as it didn't touch her bottom line, Helian Wei Wei was very understanding.
Those palace maids immediately felt touched. Until they heard Helian Wei Wei's words that accompanied her smile, "If I don't get the instruction, I would tear it down with my own hands."
The palace maids: …
Then they had better go to ask for instructions!!!!
On the first day of the big wedding, there was an air of "foul wind and rain of blood" inside the royal bedroom. It was unknown what kind of news were spread outside.
For example, His Highness and the princess' horoscopes did not match.
Eunuch Sun listened to the news that these women were bringing him. After thinking for a while, he took the robe and cape with both hands and presented them to his master.
"Your Highness, the princess is going to sell the bathtub in the washroom. You see..." As he said this, his voice was full of caution as he looked at Baili Jia Jue who was putting on his robe.
"The bathtub?" Baili Jia Jue lifted his beautiful eyebrows, and then as if thinking of something, the corners of his lips drew a vicious arc. "She is so shy."
Eunuch Sun was silent. He had lived for nearly sixty years. He had never seen anyone who was so shy that they would sell bathtubs.
What's more...
"The Princess also wants to sell off the golden bed behind you?" After that, Grandpa Sun lifted his eyes again. He couldn't help glancing at his master many times. He was afraid that His Highness would just sneer and said, "Let her try selling it!"
Then, he would be in a terrible situation…Sure enough, Baili Jia Jue stopped straightening out his collars. Eunuch Sun felt numbness on his scalp.
"Let her sell," Baili Jia Jue said in a faint voice.And then what? Nothing?
Eunuch Sun couldn't tell how many times he was surprised today. Since His Highness loved the bed so much, he should not have let people sell things so easily.
With some misgivings, he then listened to Baili Jia Jue's unexpected addition: "Afterwards, I will buy it back."
Eunuch Sun was stunned and bowed his head, "Yes."
He inwardly thought, "Your Highness, even if we have lots of money, we should not squander them, ah!"
Helian Wei Wei thought that such a large bed, no matter how exquisite, would not be easy to sell. However, not long after she released the news, someone was willing to bid for it.
This made her cold eyes gradually recovered their warmth. Counting the money handed by Eunuch Sun, her eyes started to be filled with laughter. "Eunuch Sun is very reliable in handling things."
"Prin...Princess is over-praising me." Eunuch Sun smiled stiffly, thinking that it was all to His Highness' credit.
Helian Wei Wei curved her lips again, and stuffed one of the silver into his hands in a magnanimous way, "Eunuch Sun, you are the elderly in this palace. In the future, please give me pointers about things that are unclear to me and what other people say."
"This... This... Princess, this is indeed too overwhelming for this slave!" Eunuch Sun couldn't imagine that he would be so valued by the princess and pushed the silver money back. But he knew deep inside his heart that their princess was really intelligent. She was different from other women, not arrogant and impatient. Her simple sentence can touch people's heart and raised Eunuch Sun's respect.
Helian Wei Wei only had a few words, "This is what Grandpa Sun deserves."
"Oh, by the way," She took one out from the pile of banknotes and put it in the palm of Eunuch Sun's hand. "This one is for His Highness. Tell him that I am thankful for his hard work last night."
Eunuch Sun's body turned stiff!
The Princess must not have meant what he thought!
Ha ha ha ha, how was this possible? No one dared to treat the master like this!
So...
After seeing that silver banknote, the man's thin lips curved slowly. With a chilly, demonic air, his finger lifted and fire from unknown origin burned the banknote to a crisp.
Did she want to send him away with just a piece of banknote?
Or, was she provoking him intentionally?
Either way, it seems better than her indifferently trying to escape.
It's just that...
After what happened last night, shouldn't women usually feel at ease?
After all, the best way to obtain a woman was by taking her! Why was she different?
This made Baili Jia Jue, who had always liked to act according to his own plans, wrinkled his brows.
She was so shrewd to erase the memory between them.
It could be seen that although she was affected by this incident, she would not give up her heart to him at all. Thinking of this, Baili Jia Jue tidied up his sleeves. His thin lips slightly pursed up with a slight feeling of grievance.
He must have another good chat with the old man in the temple sometime.
In this case, what should he do in order to let her restless claws settle down!
However, compared to him, her means were still a little too tender.
The corners of Baili Jia Jue's lips were curved again with a hint of the black-bellied asceticism. It was the time for her to know about Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who could never escape from the palm of the Buddha.
It was unlikely that someone came and placed the drugs. In that case, she would have heard something. So, the medicine must have been put in advance.
But... In what form? Helian Wei Wei's fingers traced the table's surface and suddenly laughed.
She picked up the stained incense burner there and said to the palace maid beside her, "Go and check. Who is in charge of this?"
"Yes." The palace maid obeyed the order and withdrew from the room.
Helian Wei Wei was in a good mood. Counting her income today, she felt that she could sell anything that was not pleasing to her eyes later. Especially the bed, she would feel relieved when it was gone.
But who knows...
Helian Wei Wei stared at the familiar and luxurious thing in front of her. Her eyes were narrowed.
Chapter 267 - Wei Wei Sells Stuffs and His Highness Buys Them
"Why is this thing still here?"
She just took the buyer's money. And it looked as if Eunuch Sun was going to remove the bed. So... why was it coming back?
Helian Wei Wei looked at the luxurious tiger skin and the delicate chain, and she knew who was behind this. The smile on her lips gradually disappeared.
Eunuch Sun stood by the side. He didn't know how to reply.
Helian Wei Wei smiled coldly, "Keep on selling it!"
Eunuch Sun was stunned and proceeded to the study to see his master's expression.
Afterwards…
He took out some banknotes and after counting them, handing them out to Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the banknotes in her palm and the bed in front of her. She drew her thin lip and asked Eunuch Sun, "How much money does His Highness have, after all? A wastrel doesn't squander money as much as he does."
Eunuch Sun heard her words and immediately nodded. The princess was sharp-eyed and clear-headed, ah! She had already calmed down…
Who knew.
"Then go ahead and keep selling it. I'll see if it's sold ten times and he can still buy it back!" Helian Wei Wei glanced back with a smile. She wore a dashing and wanton robe.
Eunuch Sun stared open-mouthed. He couldn't do anything except running back to the study.
By this time, Baili Jia Jue had already dressed and was dealing with the accounts book in his hands. He heard the sound of Eunuch Sun's footsteps and looked up slightly.
Eunuch Sun only called, "Your Highness…"
Then Baili Jia Jue put down his brush, put his long legs slightly together, leaned back and interrupted him in a faint voice, "Tell everyone that if anyone dares to buy the things that the princess sell
s, I will break his legs."
What!
Sitting next to him, Nangong Lie choked on his tea and curiously asked, "What things?" Did anyone ever sell things on the first day of marriage?
Nangong Lie felt a little uncomfortable being stared like that. He turned his head and continued to ask Eunuch Sun, "What on earth does Helian Wei Wei want to sell? Why did it make Ah Jue so frightening?"
Eunuch Sun glanced at His Royal Highness, he had no time to worry about their handsome faces. He lowered his voice and said fiercely to Nangong Lie, "That's the bed that His Highness has been particularly fond of in recent days. The Princess seems to find it very unpleasant to look at."
"Ha ha! Hahaha! " Nangong Lie burst into laughter and pointed his fingers at Baili Jia Jue, "What did I say? It's certain that no one has your aesthetic sense!"
Baili Jia Jue shut close the accounts book in his hands and looked at him coldly.
Nangong Lie grinned fiercely and then coughed twice. He pretended to be serious and said, "Ah Jue, in fact, I'm here today mainly to discuss with you about yesterday's incident. What I did was truly a little thoughtless. "
"Oh?" Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows as if to signal him to continue.
Nangong Lie acted seriously, as if he was in an inspection mode, "I think as one of the High Priests of the War Dragon Empire, I really shouldn't get any ideas of prescribing drugs. In fact, I can also send Helian Eldest Young Lady to your arms by other means."
"Really? What method?" Helian Wei Wei, who had not been able to wait for Eunuch Sun's return for a long time, stood behind him with a smile. Her eyes shone like blades of ice.
Eunuch Sun coughed heavily twice!
Nangong Lie bowed his head and was silent in his own thoughts. He had no idea that the voice of his counterpart had changed. He just raised his eyes and looked sincerely at Baili Jia Jue. "I'll help you with your research after that. The point is that you should hurry to make those old fogeys give up on the foolish idea of choosing a holy maiden for me!"
"What are you struggling so much with?" Helian Wei Wei took a step forward while curling her lips. Each word dripped with evil intent, "When the time comes, as long as you give yourself some medicine, won't everything be completely solved? What holy maiden are you afraid of?"
