Chapter 377: The Su Family Asked For It

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for words.

Well, it’s such a shady way of tearing relationships apart. She really was not a match for him.

“Your Highness, are you teaching me how to be a toxic and evil woman?” Did he not say that he hated evil women with ulterior motives? Why was he teaching her this?

Baili Jia Jue did not answer her but instead, rubbed the pad of his fingers against the mark he left on her neck, watching with satisfaction as Helian Wei Wei trembled slightly.

This was one of His Highness’s new hobbies lately, almost as if he was marking his territory.

Helian Wei Wei looked at him speechlessly.

Just then, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes turned cold, “It’s faded a lot.”

Well, that was for sure. She had been using the strawberry juice in her Space every day to get rid of it. If it had no effect, then that would just be a disgrace to her miraculous strawberry juice that had a whitening effect.

Helian Wei Wei smiled, her face revealed a show of joy.

Baili Jia Jue looked at her as coldness accumulated on his lips as he did not like the joy that she was currently portraying. It was as if this little thing wanted to break away from him every minute of the day…

“Your Highness.” Shadow who stood a meter away, afraid to come nearer as he reported from a distance, “Prime Minister Su couldn’t contain himself from kicking up a fuss after seeing that Your Highness had his men all arrested and is now standing in front of the Retired Emperor’s Palace doors. Su Yan Mo is with him.”

Looking for trouble with His Highness at this current moment. The corners of Baili Jia Jue’s mouth curved upwards, displaying unmasked violence, “Bring Li Meng’s confession and let’s head back to the Palace.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Shadow bowed his head respectfully as he was thinking curiously why His Highness’s tone of voice seemed colder than before.

Regardlessly, this time the Su family had truly fallen…

At dusk, outside the Palace of the Retired Emperor.

Prime Minister Su was kneeling along with Su Yan Mo. He had placed his official headwear on his left and with his knees on the ground, he was waiting for the Retired Emperor to give him an explanation.

He needed a proper explanation for why the Third Prince had arrested his men and the charges for which they were being arrested for.

Su Yan Mo knew of the reason, but she did not dare to tell her father the truth and had only informed him what she had told the Empress.

Prime Minister Su did not know how far this matter had progressed but after all, he had had more experience than Su Yan Mo and knew that the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs could not possibly get much from their interrogations. Hence, he was here to strike first and be one step ahead of them.

His thoughts were similar to the Empress because even though the arrest process had mistakenly involved the Little Seventh Prince, the crime of privately producing weapons was a more serious crime in comparison.

As long as he knelt down at this place today, all of the officials would find out by tomorrow morning during the morning assembly that not only did the Third Prince want to rebel, but he was also abusing his imperial authority to simply arrest people.

Such was the scene that entered the sight of Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue when they stepped into the Palace.

Prime Minister Su managed to keep his composure as he knelt outside in the summer sun, unwilling to get up. Even upon seeing Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, his face did not change one bit, a clear indication of his deep considerations.

However, Su Yan Mo’s gaze fell onto Helian Wei Wei. Once upon a time, she had had the opportunity to kill this little bit*h, but she had let the opportunity go because firstly, the same blood ran through Helian Wei Wei and her own mother’s veins and that itself could come in handy one day. Secondly, in comparison to killing her, she would much rather enjoy the sight of this little bit*h losing everything she had.

Once upon a time, whatever she did was nothing compared to that person from the Helian family. Where she existed, there was no place for her to shine.

That person had been the most adored person in the city ever since she was a little girl.

All that she ate and used were the best and even the Emperor had wanted and craved to please her when he was younger.

Unlike her, the other girls had to do things based on how others felt.

Her entire life had been subjected to the shadows because of that one person.

Yet thankfully, the god was fair enough to let her grab the opportunity to seize Helian Guang Yao.

That young lady from a family of high pedigree, spoiled by the love of men but unaware of the fact that men sometimes needed women to soften and cooperate with them.

Her domination would only breed the unfaithfulness of her man.

How could she ever bear to part with this feeling of triumph?

Watching that person’s daughter living like an animal, being disregarded with disgust and indifference, brought her a hundred times more joy than killing this little bit*h.

However… she had never thought that letting go of the opportunity to kill her would bring her such calamity.

Su Yan Mo glared at Helian Wei Wei’s figure from the back hatefully and regretfully as she walked ahead, clenching her fists slowly under her long sleeves. Yet, when she looked up again, her face had turned into a face of determination.

The Third Prince’s actions had already angered her father.

The fact that her father was now kneeling outside like this would cause unrest within the entire court to the point that the Retired Emperor would not be able to resolve this issue quietly even if he wanted to.

He would be required to give the court of officials an explanation and it would definitely result in stripping that little bit*h of her Princess Consort title. This was because if the Retired Emperor wanted to shield his beloved grandson, the Third Prince, he would need to push someone out to shut the mouths of the people.

And this little bit*h was the best pawn.

Until then, once this little bit*h was stripped of her title, her Jiao Er would then have another chance…

Su Yan Mo’s plans were all mapped out perfectly that even the corners of her mouth lifted.

At this moment, the Palace doors opened as the Retired Emperor looked at the father and daughter kneeling before his doors emotionlessly. In a plain voice, he asked, “My beloved Minister Su, it’s so late but here you are kneeling instead of seeking my audience when you have come to my Palace. What do you mean by this?”

“It is because I had no other choice,” said Prime Minister Su as he kowtowed and lifted his eyes to glance at Baili Jia Jue, “Since this afternoon, the Third Prince has been arresting many officials of the court without Your Majesty’s knowledge and without advanced notice. Currently, the outside is in total chaos. Hence, I had no other choice than to seek the audience personally.”

Baili Jia Jue listened indifferently without a change to the expression on his handsome yet cold face. If there was really a named expression on his face, it would only be the sense of ridicule and mocking he gave off.

“And as far as I am concerned, the Third Prince did all this because today, a Master Li from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was investigating a siheyuan.” Prime Minister Su’s voice continued in a deep voice, “Not long before that, this Master Li had received news that someone outside the city had been purchasing steel and metal in large amounts and was acting very shadily. Therefore, in suspicion of this person privately producing mass amounts of weapons, he did not waste time and arrived outside the city immediately to successfully come across countless weapons. However, due to his recklessness, he had also mistakenly arrested the Little Seventh Prince because he did not recognize the Little Seventh Prince and did not think that the owner of the siheyuan was the property of the Third Princess Consort whom he could never afford to anger. As such, the tragedy began there as he was put into jail by the Third Prince and his associates were pulled into this mess as well. Your Majesty, I do not understand if the Third Prince did this purely to avenge the Little Seventh Prince, or if His Highness is trying to hide something?”
