At that moment, for no reason at all, it was as if the people could see the elderly figure who had leaned on the dragon-headed cane in his hand while giving orders in Helian Wei Wei!
Cold sweat covered their forehead as pressure and the feeling of guilt welled up. After all, most of them had failed Old Master Helian who had nurtured and trained them.
At this point, they came to realize why the hidden army was here.
Helian Wei Wei was displaying her authority!
The henchman who had served Helian Guang Yao before had his whole back drenched in cold sweat as he trembled while writing down the property he managed on the piece of paper.
Looking at the paper collected, Helian Wei Wei tapped the table twice in satisfaction and said politely, "Good, I believe that the Helian family will grow into a better future with your cooperation."
"It's all thanks to Eldest Young Lady's wisdom." The stewards forced smiles on their faces as they suffered in silence.
Helian Wei Wei took a glance at Da Xiong and the others as she uttered faintly, "You can keep the guns now."
Snap!
With just another sound of the guns, the stewards were frightened to death, even though they were still unwilling to submit.
Even if Helian Wei Wei had become the patriarch, she had no rank or achievement in the imperial court.
As a new patriarch without rank or achievement, she was required to prove herself within one month with results to show for.
Otherwise, she would be dismissed from her right as patriarch.
They were patient enough to behave themselves for the time being. It would suffice to just wait and watch how things would unfold.
Some day, Helian Wei Wei would have to kiss up to them.
After all, she was still too young and impulsive. She would not go far even with the hidden army on her side…
"These people will not give in to you." As Chi Yan watched the stewards leaving respectfully with his gleaming eyes.
Resting her face languidly on her hand, Helian Wei Wei flipped through the family rulebook that had been passed down and grinned maliciously, "They think I won't be able to make it through the month without any rank or achievement. It looks like I have to find a way to become an imperial official."
Chi Yan smoldering eyes glanced at her face, his intense gaze finally falling on her neck.
Thinking that there was something on her neck again, Helian Wei Wei subconsciously covered it with her hand.
Then, Chi Yan said vaguely, "You've really changed."
Helian Wei Wei thought that it was an unsafe topic to discuss. Chi Yan was smart and very loyal to Old Master Helian, the consequences would be uncontrollable if he found out that she was not the real Helian Wei Wei.
"People change." Helian Wei Wei tried to maneuver her way out of this topic.
However, Chi Yan suddenly dropped a conversational bomb indifferently, "Is that why you've forgotten how you used to take a liking to me?"
Who? Take a liking to who?
Helian Wei Wei was stunned. Didn't the old Helian Wei Wei only want to marry Murong Changfeng and no one else?
"It seems like you've really forgotten about it," Chi Yan said slowly after taking a sip of his tea, "However, I've saved you twice before you found the hidden army. Once during the Flower Appreciation Festival where you were nearly molested by someone..."
Listening to his words, Helian Wei Wei's soul wavered violently as images flashed through her mind where she had stood under a flowering Banyan tree watching the leaving silhouette of someone with her heart in pain…
Chapter 456 - Wei Wei Dominated His Highness
She had only been eager to advance her marriage with Murong Changfeng because she wanted to mask the pain.
Gradually, as time passed, she selectively forgot about the man who incited excruciating pain in her whenever she thought of him, just as she had deliberately forgotten about the truth of her mother's death…
As her memories began to resurface, she failed to notice the figure approaching her from nearby.
Yet, many others did notice the commotion, and as they turned to look, their eyes were filled with awe and astonishment.
With only a blank expression, the charming Baili Jia Jue held onto the bouquet of roses in his hand, a lone figure with his gaze fixed upon the man standing across Helian Wei Wei. Very swiftly, his intense eyes darkened.
Helian Wei Wei's limbs began to stiffen as if her body was no longer hers to command. With clenched fists, she tried to contain the overwhelming heaviness she was feeling.
"Wei Wei."
Whenever Helian Wei Wei revisited the past, she could not help but feel sort of carried away by it. If it had not been for the familiar voice that called on her, she would have already drifted away.
Swiftly, she came to her senses and grounded herself firmly in her own body, turning toward the source of the voice.
The red color of the roses set against the backdrop of His Highness holding them revealed an inexplicable kind of captivation that was beautiful beyond words.
However…
Why is Baili Jia Jue carrying roses?
Moreover, his facial expression seems unhappy?
Before Helian Wei Wei could utter a word, someone had already wrapped his hand around her waist and placed the roses into her hand with something that resembled a smile but not quite.
Puzzled, Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. His Highness was the hardest to read when he was in this kind of mood. Cough! Perhaps it was time to say something.
"Is this for me?"
"Mmhmm."
"The roses are beautiful, I love them." Whatever it was, she would indulge him first.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at Wei Wei while leaning closer to gently tuck a few strands of hair behind her ears with his long and slender fingers. In a deep and devious voice, he whispered, "Then you can think about how you're going to make it up to me later."
Helian Wei Wei's hand fidgeting over the roses froze and the tips of her ears reddened.
Seeing her like this, the iciness in Baili Jia Jue's eyes melted slightly, "The Clan Meeting should be over by now, when will you be leaving?"
"Are you here to pick me up?" Helian Wei Wei tried to hide her glee as a smile shone on her face. "Well, we can leave now. I've got some matters to discuss with Imperial Grandfather anyway." While talking, Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and looked at Chi Yan, "Thank you, General Chi, for saving me in the past. Whatever offensive words Wei Wei may have said once upon a time, I hope that you allow it to slide. Back then, I was young and I had an overactive imagination.''
Chi Yan looked at her with meaningful eyes and replied slowly, "I've never thought of it as offensive."
Uh…What does that mean?
How was she supposed to reply to that?
Intuitively, Helian Wei Wei turned toward Baili Jia Jue and found herself mesmerized by his breathtakingly handsome side profile as the charming smile on his face widened.
As expected.
Baili Jia Jue held her even closer as he looked intently at Chi Yan and with amus.e.m.e.nt in his voice, he said, "In the future, it'd be best to stop those random thoughts, lest someone take it seriously. Imagine how disastrous that would be to settle, don't you agree, Master Chi?"
Little Seventh Prince, who happened to be listening from the side, honestly thought that his Third Brother's sharp tongue had improved. He would have to be obedient in the future, otherwise, he would be the next victim of his sharp tongue.
Unsurprisingly, Chi Yan remained silent as he looked at Baili Jia Jue with his eyes that were as dark as night, unmoving and unbothered.
For some reason, Helian Wei Wei could sense the air turning explosive and kept looking back and forth between them.
Baili Jia Jue did not give her a chance to think it through as his deep voice resounded again, "Didn't you want to discuss matters with Imperial Grandfather? We should head back soon, the old man will need to rest any later.
"
"Alright." Helian Wei Wei had never been very emotionally perceptive by nature, and with the destabilizing of her soul a while ago, she figured it was best for her to digest everything by helping herself to a slice of Osmanthus cake. She then asked, "Which horse carriage did you arrive in?"
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, puzzled with the purpose of her query, "I came in that one."
"Oh, that's good then. Since you have a bigger horse carriage, it'll fit all my snack boxes so Little Seventh Prince and I will be able to eat them then." Helian Wei Wei just blurted out whatever that was running through her mind.
The corner of Chi Yan's lips twitched a few times. Was this her only response upon hearing the entire conversation?
On the other hand, Baili Jia Jue seemed to be immensely satisfied with the slowness of his prey in certain areas of the heart and chuckled, "I've already arranged for your snack boxes to be replenished with refreshments and preserved fruits. There is also a new tea on board, you can have some later during the journey."
"Okay," Helian Wei Wei replied gleefully, completely indulging in the privilege she was pampered with.
Little Seventh Prince felt sorry for Chi Yan, with a pitter-patter, he treaded away in little footsteps alongside his Third Brother and Third Aunt.
While being escorted away by Baili Jia Jue, Helian Wei Wei turned her head around involuntarily to look at Chi Yan.
The master who had constantly been labeled as being as cool as jade with an unchanging manner to everything had his head lowered, exuding a feeling of loneliness…
"What's the matter? Don't feel like leaving?" Baili Jia Jue's other hand clenched into a fist, but his smile did not reach his eyes that smoldered with darkness.
Helian Wei Wei quickly shook off the strange feeling as her eyes glistened, "I want to leave."
"Then don't look back." Baili Jia Jue would never tell her of how threatened and panicked he had felt when he saw the look in her eyes as she turned to look at Chi Yan.
That's right.
He could not imagine it.
He could not imagine if his prey would no longer look at him one day but at someone else.
What would he be capable of doing?
Perhaps he would personally break her limbs so that she could go nowhere.
Or perhaps, he would kill everyone.
Whatever it takes to not lose her, he will be willing to do.
Even if that meant turning into a demon!
All of a sudden, Helian Wei Wei saw a mass of black clouds billowing in from the west. She could not understand why the weather changed so abruptly, but she noticed that the pair of hands clasping onto hers was exceptionally cold. Without hesitation, she cupped them close to her lips and blew a breath of warm air onto them. She then looked up and insisted, "Remember to put on more layers whenever you go out in the future. The temperature difference nowadays is too drastic. Those who serve you should know better and prepare an outer robe for you."
The warmth from his fingers spread into the dark corners of his heart, dispelling the darkness from his eyes. Unknowingly, Baili Jia Jue's lips curled into a smile. "Alright, I get it. Since when did you become so long-winded like Eunuch Sun."
"Wait a minute!" Helian Wei Wei thought that this was the perfect time to express some lovey-dovey affection. Thus, she began flipping through her 'Court Your Wife' manual. Eventually, she chuckled and retorted extremely gently, "Even if I'm long-winded, I'm only long-winded to you."
That's right! The bossy president in novels would always use phrases like this to dominate the person they wanted!
Little Seventh Prince was speechless.
He could not bear the sight. It was truly tough on his Third Brother when the person he got together with was someone like his Third Aunt…
Chapter 456 - His Highness Who Was Deceitful And Malevolent
Helian Wei Wei bit her lips awkwardly, she could not believe that she would sound in that way. She frowned and looked at Baili Jia Jue, trying to escape from that torturing p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. "That's enough, please stop..." she said firmly.
Baili Jia Jue ignored her and thrust to the innermost while holding her hands.
Helian Wei Wei was being banged to shapeless. Her shirt was still on but her voice had already become horny.
The eunuch could not hear clearly what the Princess Consort had said so he could only wait outside while scratching his head.
He dared not make decisions himself unless Princess Consort commanded. He finally thought of a perfect solution and shouted, "Princess Consort, may I lead the visitors to the side hall first until you are free?"
Helian Wei Wei trembled as she wanted to get up but Baili Jia Jue pushed her down to the couch and thrust even deeper.
"Oh… please… please slow it down! I couldn't take it anymore, please… don't…"
Helian Wei Wei could not stand anymore as her most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e part was being rubbed back and forth continuously.
"Princess Consort?" The eunuch asked again and sighed as he did not get any reply.
Baili Jia Jue laughed with a low tone and held her legs while exerting a lot more energy to penetrate her completely!
"Oh god…"
Helian Wei Wei was in half coma state as she got overwhelmed by the extreme excitement. She laid faintly on the big red satin while her tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.
Baili Jia Jue's calm eyes deepened again while looking at her, he leaned over to coax her and said, "My good girl, let me touch more of you…"
They make love to each other once again. Baili Jia Jue only let her go when it was lunch hour. His clothes were all served by the palace maids.
She laid in his arms, not feeling like opening her eyes. Other than the honorable gold and luxurious red, there was her hair slightly exposed, it was an indescribable grace.
Every time as Eunuch Sun entered the room, he would first lighten up the incense at the other side of the screen, then he would instruct people to bring in the wooden barrel, he dared not look when she was soaked in the water.
As Baili Jia Jue had done helping Helian Wei Wei to put on her nightgown, he strolled out energetically while Helian Wei Wei yawned in fatigue.
"Do you want to have something light?" Baili Jia Jue asked while holding her in his arms and buckling up the last agate of his outer shirt. His side face was so charming; he did not look as though he had just done with some intense activity.
"Uhmm." Helian Wei Wei did not want to make any comments as he was a born deceitful person. She would just eat whatever he offered.
Baili Jia Jue could not help by that look, hence, he came closer to her. However, he held back as he knew that she still had things to do. He turned around and ordered Eunuch Sun, "Bring me the beast pill that the Eastern region offered us last time. Grind it into powder form and mix with rose water before bringing it to the Princess Consort."
"As you wish." Eunuch Sun looked down and thought, there are only three beast pills in this world, one for the Emperor and one for the Retired Emperor as the pill is very effective in nourishing and regaining vitality. This proves that His Highness really dotes on Princess Consort.
Helian Wei Wei felt that the beast pill was great too as she could obviously feel the warmth in her body as she drank the rose water. When she moved her fingers, she found that she had recovered her vitality.
"Looks like I should have more of this pill," Baili Jia Jue said beside her ears with a smile, "in case that you fainted again halfway…"
Helian Wei Wei got choked by his words and nearly spat out the rose water in her mouth.
"Are you getting excited about it?" Baili Jia Jue said with an evil smile as he distorted her meaning.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless.
From which eyes he saw that she was being excited!?
"Hehe." He smiled low-pitched while having a sharp glance as he said, "You didn't apply those medications that the imperial physicians made for you, am I right?"
Helia
n Wei Wei's blushed scarlet immediately. She spoke nothing and stood up, preparing to leave.
Baili Jia Jue held her back and said softly, "Let me help you, you can leave after the medication dissolved."
It was not any medications but a tiny and slightly cold soft gel which was required to be placed inside a woman's private part that functioned as anti-inflammation and was effective in relieving menstrual pain.
But even if it helped, Helian Wei Wei felt extremely uneasy as the gel must be placed inside for at least half an hour.
She thought she could run away, not expecting that he would recall this today.
Baili Jia Jue ordered people to get him the soft gel and commanded them to retreat. He then held Helian Wei Wei in his arms and inserted his finger into her private part.
Helian Wei Wei stayed still as she knew that this position was quite dangerous. She would be the one who suffered if she moved.
As he c.a.r.e.s.sed her underpants, Helian Wei Wei trembled.
They were both on the chaise lounge while she sat on his l.a.p. She buried her face into his c.h.e.s.t and grabbed his shirt tightly as she did not want to look at his evil hand. She shivered as the soft gel was being placed inside her and even made her ears red.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her pity face and kissed her cheek while his breath was getting hotter, "It is uncomfortable?" he said with abstinence voice.
"Uhmm." How could it be comfortable when something was inside there? The gel got hotter and hotter as it melted. Helian Wei Wei started to sweat on her nose and moved awkwardly, "When is it done?"
Baili Jia Jue looked at her response and said with a hoarse and regretting tone, "I should probably help you to apply the medication earlier. You look like you're begging for me right now."
"Shut up," Helian Wei Wei said softly, she had sweated all over her body. Right now, she could not even speak using her usual calm tone, she just hoped that the heat inside her could disappear as soon as possible.
Baili Jia Jue did not let go of his hand but let her lean on his body along with the force, just like she could not ever leave him.
