The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

446-450

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!
