Pattering.

Big raindrops fell pattering upon the wide leaves, there were many eunuchs and palace maids walking around in the royal garden except for a secluded area that was blocked by a few shadow guards.

The Retired Emperor had his hands behind his back as he stood at the quiet pavilion. He cast a glance at his favorite grandson and said, "Ah Jue, tell Grandpa honestly, is Wei Wei really possessed?"

Ever since Helian Jiao Er died, all the four influential families had completely lost their senses.

They asserted that the new princess consort was the possessor, enticing the common people in all possible ways.

Even the Third Prince had killed the Phoenix Girl for her. The empire was doomed to destruction in the future.

He had to ask as things had escalated to this point.

Now that the War Dragon Empire was still under his control, he had to coordinate and balance all the influences involved.

He would allow Ah Jue to do anything however he pleases.

But if she's really a possessor...

The Retired Emperor's eyes darkened, he was really unsure of what he would do next.

"She's not," Baili Jia Jue said in a light tone, his expression remained the same. "She's just a little smarter than she used to be, even such a trivial matter has become a subject of gossip."

The Retired Emperor smiled and said, "That girl isn't just a little smarter."

"If she's really a possessor, her main target should be the royal family and not the remnants of the Su family." Baili Jia Jue shook the teacup in his hands. That pair of hands seemed even more priceless with the silver ring around his ring finger. "People would not speak of her as much if she did not marry me."

The Retired Emperor felt sorry for him upon hearing that, he let out a sigh and said, "All eyes are on you as you're the prince of the War Dragon Empire. It's normal for people to make a big fuss about the most insignificant mistake you made." The Retired Emperor made a pause upon saying this and continued, "What are you going to do if Wei Wei is really the possessor?"

"What else can I do, this cannot be taken lightly." Baili Jia Jue raised the teacup and took a sip of water in the cup as he said that. His eyes were so dark that one was unable to tell the emotions in his eyes.

The servant who was standing at the side frowned his eyebrows upon hearing that.

The Retired Emperor patted his shoulder and said, "People will have suspicion to that young lady as she has great capabilities, especially since she has such a stepmother. Don't worry, I will keep this matter under control. But you have to be cautious as well in the meantime."

"Okay," Baili Jia Jue answered softly.

After the topic had ended, the grandfather and grandson began to talk about something else.

"Did Third Brother really say so?" The Fifth Prince, who was merely a few years younger than Baili Jia Jue, sneered and said, "He is indeed a heartless man."

He had been living in a difficult situation during this period of time, owing to Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue.

His mother was sent to the cold palace and being forbid to leave the place forever.

His uncle was sentenced to death because of treason.

The Murong residence was covered with white strips everywhere now.
