Helian Wei Wei felt her heart skipped a beat and her face burned unnaturally.
This person, what the hell was he thinking!
"In order to hide my impatience, I resisted the urge to look at you. But I have to admit that you're really good at seeking my attention." The huskiness in Baili Jia Jue's voice was seductive and elegant like a piece of fine musical instrument.
Helian Wei Wei knew what he was talking about. It was all about her grumbling just now. How long does he intend to tease me about that?
Besides, his tone of mockery was way too obvious.
To be honest, Helian Wei Wei was puzzled over what he actually meant.
Why didn't he just say that I couldn't let go of him and was daydreaming?
Or did he meant that she was appealing to him?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kissed her so gently.
Chapter 645 - Your Existence Is My Distraction
Baili Jia Jue seemed to accept his fate as he watched the person with a confused expression standing in front of him. "Never mind, your sole existence is a distraction to me anyway. As long as you are here, I can't focus on anything else."
Am I really as annoying as he said? Helian Wei Wei began to sulk.
Abruptly, she was enveloped in his embrace, his fingers c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair softly, as though he was petting a pet. In a sarcastic tone, he said, "You really are silly. Now, are you still not convinced?"
Helian Wei Wei paused her breathing. With that familiar scent surrounding her, she felt safe and comforted.
Everything was back to normal again at last.
To everyone except him, and also his unconditional love and adoration toward her.
The fact that he was always sarcastic and never really expressed his thoughts did not faze her as she was already used to this behavior.
Helian Wei Wei giggled and extended her arms to embrace him. The lean and strong waist between her arms felt good to hold on to.
As Baili Jia Jue lowered his eyes, he caught sight of her cunning yet innocent smile on the corner of her lips and her eyes staring deeply at him. He felt her fingers wandering around his waist and he started to question his taste in women. How could he have fallen for this girl who could not keep her hands off him at all times?
"Enjoying what you feel?" Baili Jia Jue lifted one of his beautiful eyebrows. His scent once again engulfed Helian Wei Wei.
"Not bad at all. I enjoy the smooth skin texture." This will all be mine to touch in the future, she thought to herself.
Baili Jia Jue revealed an indifferent yet vicious smile. "Since you like it so much, later we shall find a convenient time for you to enjoy touching it." On the bed, but not here...
Helian Wei Wei sparkled with joy, and asked, "Is this special treatment for me?"
"Yes, special treatment." Baili Jia Jue leaned over her and breathed the words in her ear devilishly.
Helian Wei Wei felt a wave of electricity shot through her from this unexpected touch and shuddered involuntarily.
Satisfied with his effect on her, Baili Jia Jue released his grip on her. He looked up and glared at the imperial guards afar with their bows and arrows ready. His voice was cold and full of authority as he said, "How dare you still have your bows and arrows up? Do you wish to kill me?"
The imperial guards looked at each other with uncertainty and did not dare to move an inch.
After all, they were ordered by the Emperor, and it was his order that they were to stand guard here and surround the area.
Baili Jia Jue stared at them squarely, one of his arms still holding Helian Wei Wei. Suddenly, his fur cape billowed in the breeze and behind him appeared an army. Every single soldier was dressed tightly in black and each holding a long spear. Their presence was formidable and invincible.
Someone recognized the army. They were the shadow guards trained by the Third Prince.
Rumor had it that no one would dare to approach these eight thousand shadow guards within thirty thousand meters.
At that moment, the imperial guards who resided in the palace for many years started to feel fear pooling from the bottom of their stomachs.
The shadow guards stood behind Baili Jia Jue, their faces were covered with masks, looking like a devilish army coming straight from hell. They stood attentively and upright, as though waiting for an order from Baili Jia Jue. With their appearance and the light reflecting off their silver blades, the senior ministers who were used to rely on Elder Compound started to panic.
They had initially planned to demand the identity of the Seventh Prince. But now, they were paralyzed with terror.
The imperial guards understood that this was a battle that could not be won. Suddenly, there was a sound of something dropping onto the floor.
Someone had dropped their bow and arrow willingly and knelt on the ground in defeat.
Immediately, tens, hundreds, thousands of the imperial guards admitted defeat and surrendered to Baili Jia Jue!
Every minister in the court watched as this scene unfolded right before their eyes with mixed feelings.
Some of them once belonged to the Fifth Prince, some belonged to the Elder Compound and even some belonged to the Emperor himself.
They never thought that Baili Jia Jue had been carefully playing his cards for this moment for such a long time.
Sure, he was capable, but he never understood the way of handling politics among the ministers. Even though he was talented, they had thought that his power would fall eventually.
However looking back now, the Eldest Prince drowned because he offended the Emperor due to speaking bluntly when the Li family was ill-treating the Third Prince.
The Murong family was once trusted and adored by the Emperor for centuries. The Emperor had even shown special adoration toward Queen Murong and the Fifth Prince.
However, their fate ended with life-long imprisonment and the decapitation due to their attempt to frame the Third Prince.
In the past, all these incidents seemed unrelated to the Third Prince. But if they dug deeper, the Third Prince was the root cause of all of them.
The ministers trembled when this realization hit. It was now the Emperor's turn as it was known that a demon had taken up residence in his body. The Third Prince would just appear to be bringing justice by sentencing his father to death.
Nobody would question the reason why the Third Prince would ascend to the throne. To everyone else, it was perfectly justifiable.
But the truth was not lost to the experienced ministers.
They felt a chill ran down their spine as a result of their late realization.
The Eldest Prince was gone, the Fifth Prince was gone, even the Emperor was gone.
There would be no confusion as to who would seize the throne now.
They had even mocked secretly when the worthless, spoiled woman Helian Wei Wei was married to the Third Prince. They had thought that she would speed up his failure with her inability when his state in the court was already at a disadvantage.
They never thought that this woman would become the biggest martial arts dealer in the country. With that power, she even managed to gain back control of the Helian family. However, her ability to let the hidden army submit to her was even more terrifying!
Separated, these two individuals were scary enough.
A moment ago, the Third Prince had successfully forced the imperial guards to admit defeat with his strong and determined presence. Helian Wei Wei had stood her ground without fear when she was surrounded by the imperial guards.
Now that they were united, the future…would be hard to predict.
Uneasiness began to show in some of the ministers' eyes.
Nangong Lie had been watching at the side the whole time. He had known every detail of this plan from the start and he could easily guess what the ministers were thinking.
However, he was sure that they never knew that Ah Jue had possessed the ability to win the throne long ago.
If he had really want
ed the throne, he would have had revolted with his army seven years ago.
But he never did that, instead, he let that opportunity pass. He stared at him indifferently, and uttered in a dignified manner, "I will only accept the throne when it is delivered personally to me."
He was never interested in forcing his authority in court. Instead, he placed great emphasis on how to obtain something effortlessly and naturally.
After the whole incident, Helian Wei Wei heard about the speculation of the ministers and had the opportunity to verify the matter with Baili Jia Jue, "Did you plan from the start to kill the Eldest Prince?"
Baili Jia Jue glanced at her and spoke slowly, "It's true that I wish to kill him, but the ultimate reason for my action was not because of the throne."
"What was the reason then?"
Chapter 646 - Punishment From His Highness
"Because he had inappropriate intentions," Baili Jia Jue pushed Helian Wei Wei away with a flick of his fingers while watching her intently. Someone who was dared to look at his prey with such a stare deserved to die.
"What about the Murong Family?" Helian Wei Wei began to feel that he seemed to be annoyed by her more nowadays as he pushed her away when she was merely asking him questions.
Baili Jia Jue stared at her coldly. "What else do you think? Did you think I would spare his life when I know you once liked him? I am not that merciful." There is no difference between murdering one or two people. Why not kill them all? That would save us from the trouble later on.
Helian Wei Wei was confused for a moment before smiling, "Oh, I see you are jealous! Is it because I'm too pretty for you to lose?" She rummaged around Little Seven, who was deep in slumber and took out a mirror. After looking into it from different angles, she nodded and said, "I do have to admit I am quite a beauty."
"I agree that this face is indeed too pretty for your own good too," Baili Jia Jue rested his face on his palm while reaching out the other to poke her cheek. "What say you if we destroy it, it would save us from a lot of trouble, won't it?"
Helian Wei Wei's hands froze instantly. She then began to lift her bowl and started eating meekly.
Halfway through eating, she could not resist asking again, "What about the Emperor? Were you planning to attack the Emperor with the shadow guards that you have been training all this while at the right timing?"
"No, if he hasn't had his mind set on dealing with you and the Sky-swallowing Beast, I would not have ordered the shadow guards to surround the court," Baili Jia Jue was just as elegant as always while he was eating. It was hard to relate him with any devilish actions.
However, Helian Wei Wei still found the situation rather weird, "Are you that patient? This doesn't seem like your style at all."
Baili Jia Jue fixed his gaze on her again. Slowly, he put down his chopsticks and lay an arm at the back of her chair. He leaned back and said arrogantly, "There's no need to rush when facing someone who is going to breathe his last anyway."
Helian Wei Wei thought to herself… no wonder. For once, she was speechless!
"Are you done eating?" Baili Jia Jue gestured toward her empty bowl with his chin lifted. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the servants and ordered them to carry Little Seven away.
Only then did Helian Wei Wei realize that she had finished her second bowl of rice unconsciously.
What's more frustrating was, she was not even full yet!
I'm going to have another bowl. Helian Wei Wei told herself that she must stop after finishing this bowl.
She did stop eating, but after dinner, she began craving for some pastries and oranges. She could not peel her oranges while selecting her pastries, so she asked His Highness to do it for her.
Baili Jia Jue tossed an orange toward her. What he meant was clear - she would have to do it herself.
Forget it, she never expected him to be gentle anyway. Although it was widely believed that the spouse of a bossy president would normally be much gentler, who would have thought that her other half was the arrogant and cold type?
As Helian Wei Wei was occupied with her thoughts, Helian Wei Wei lay sideways while peeling the orange. She was known to be lazy so if she could lie down, she would never be standing up. At the moment, she was lying nice and cozy on the furry Imperial Noble Consort couch which was designed with delicate floral sculpture. She was wearing one of those traditional nightgowns with large and loose sleeves. When she lifted her arm, the sleeves would slip and reveal her fair and smooth arm. Combined with her usual temperament, she looked like a cat resting lazily that appeared rather alluring yet captivating.
Helian Wei Wei never realized how seductive her posture appeared to be and she was still mumbling, "The plum blossom cake is not as good as the osmanthus cake."
Baili Jia Jue had already single-handedly unclasped his fur cape dr.a.p.ed around his shoulders. He then tossed it to the servants who were holding trays of fruits at the side, "Dismiss yourself, I will take care of the rest."
"Yes." The servants lowered their eyes and retreated while facing him politely.
Helian Wei Wei's hand froze in mid-air. Before she even managed to cover her mouth, she was already pushed down onto the soft furry layer by his arm.
There was a hint of a smile on his thin lips. "I wasn't intending to tie you up, but from what you have said in the Palace of Heavenly Purity today, it seemed like you enjoy being tied up. As such, I would have no choice but to fulfill your wish then."
Who in the world enjoys being tied up! "I didn't mean that! Can't you pretend that you have never heard that?" Helian Wei Wei replied as she tried to escape desperately.
Baili Jia Jue pressed down on her back waist and shifted her whole body to make her sit on his l.a.p. His tone was nonchalant and casual as he said, "Nope, I am a petty and inhuman person. I am one who holds grudges and hard to appease."
Why did he bring that up! Isn't that in the past already! Helian Wei Wei thought to herself.
"Be good, don't move." Baili Jia Jue spoke softly behind her ears with his lips grazing her earlobe. "You will feel comfortable being tied up."
Helian Wei Wei shivered. When she could feel the numb feeling spreading from her ears, Baili Jia Jue had already tied up her hands with the Mysterious Ice Iron Chain. After he was done, she had literally no time to think at all…...
It seemed to happen in the blink of an eye!
Her nightgown was scooped up by him and she could feel his rough fingertips wandering around her skin.
Helian Wei Wei trembled involuntarily. She could not withstand a man's approach with moves like his. She felt as though she was suffocating, her ears were burning hot and her mind was like a swirl of snowflakes. She had lost all sense of thought. The heat of the tall figure behind her was rising rapidly and she felt like she was melting in all those heat.
Baili Jia Jue let out a smile. He placed his lips on her reddened left ear and licked it with his flaming tongue. He then trailed downward slowly to her fair neck, biting softly or kissing deeply, leaving behind hickeys. The smell of his own sandalwood scent wafted into his nostrils. When he set his mind on it, he could make a woman feel exhilarated ...
Helian Wei Wei did not move. The chain would ring if she did. The sound of the chain would only make the situation more alluring.
His nose was touching hers. There was a glimpse of a devilish smile on the tip of his eyebrows and his eyes. Not to mention the heat that was spreading from Baili Jia Jue palm which could definitely burn her skin.
His slender fingers started to trail upward, igniting electric sparks wherever he touched, until he stopped at the soft spot on her c.h.e.s.t, and gently placing his whole palm on it!
Helian Wei Wei shivered. A wave of electricity shot through her and she m.o.a.n.e.d involuntarily while raising her hand to push him away, "Don't--"
He grasped her hand and kissed her fragile neck. He s.u.c.k.e.d deeply while hugging her tightly with his other hand, holding her firmly into his c.h.e.s.t. From somewhere
below, Helian Wei Wei could feel something bulging pressing against her urgently…
Chapter 647 - His Highness Pampering Helian Wei Wei
As Helian Wei Wei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, her thin lips were sealed when he rolled over and pressed her down onto the fur blanket. The cool feeling from a man's body crept up to her instantly; she could taste his delicious scent on the tip of her tongue and hear the sound of him breathing heavily.
Helian Wei Wei widened her eyes the moment she felt he thrust into her. She could not help but clench her fingers and the chain moved as she did.
The sound of the chain being pulled and released echoed through the whole hall.
She was trying as hard as possible to not move but to no avail.
The corner of Helian Wei Wei's eyes reddened as he thrust into her, but he never reduced his pressure.
"Come on, be good." He seemed to have lost all control at the end as he grabbed her waist with his left hand, showing no signs of stopping soon.
Helian Wei Wei could see his normally calm and detached face from her angle clearly. With every thrust he made, the sweat from his forehead would drip down to his chin. His glossy black hair and his exquisitely handsome features would make anyone faint just by looking at him. Moreover, the sight of him holding her and thrusting into her enthusiastically just made him all the more attractive and addictive.
There was not a place on her skin that was not burning up. Helian Wei Wei's waist-length black hair was flung against the back of the chair repeatedly as she was forced to endure his pressure. Finally, she could not hold it anymore and decide to plead for mercy. To her surprise, this made him increase his motion. His voice was deep, accompanied by a sense of ruthlessness as he said, "Say you want me, and I will let you go."
"I, uh, want you…"She did not have the chance to finish her sentence.
