The little aide came out of the palace bedroom with bowls and chopsticks in her hands. She came across Hei Zhu who she hadnât met for a long time. She wore a cheongsam, as if she had just come in from outside the palace. Hei Zhuâs eyes brightened when she saw the little aide, âQing Zhan, youâre back!â
It seemed that no one had called her with this name for ages. The little aide slowed down for a moment and then nodded.
Hei Zhuâs hands slid and she creased her slim eyebrows. âWhy are you doing these things? Itâs not true that youâre serving that woman Helian Wei Wei now, as those palace maids said, right? â
Qing Zhan took a look at her and corrected her faintly: âCall her the princess.â
Hei Zhu scoffed at her, âPrincess? She will lose that position soon.â
Qing Zhanâs hands that were holding the bowls and chopsticks stilled. She knew Hei Zhu would not say such a thing without being 100% sure. Could it be something unexpected happen?
Hei Zhu continued saying, âHer methods are only indulging passions. His Highness has never met anyone like that before and put up with her.â
Qing Zhan looked at the bowls and chopsticks in her hands without uttering any words.
Hei Zhu spoke again, ââI advise you to leave her as soon as possible. Donât you like Young Master Lie? It will be much better to ask Young Master Lie to help you leave.â
Qing Zhan raised her head, her eyes were serious. âIâve never thought of asking him for helping me leave, ever.â
âI know, I know.â Hei Zhu did not know what temper she was having, and patted her gently on the back of her hand.
Qing Zhan thought in her heart, âYou donât know it. Just because liking a person, I wonât put myself down and be that personâs concubine.â
She couldnât help recall what the princess had said to her.
That was a recklessly elegant and unconventional manner.
She had never imagined it before.
From the time she entered the palace to be a death warrior, she only had one person in her eyes. At that time, she had no extra thoughts at all. They both were still young. When she finished training, she would stand in the shadows and watch the little boy frown and perform divination. She knew that he did not love her. Every time he went out, she would come along with some new things, just to make him happy. It seemed that as long as he smiled, it was worth doing anything. More importantly, she didnât care if she was covered all over with cuts and bruises for him.
Itâs just that she forgot her identity too much.
She had a humble life.
Perhaps because she got accustomed to her lowly situation that made it easy for her to regard a person as her world.
If she stayed by the princessâ side, her life would be more meaningful than it was now and it would be easier to forget the past.
She had never been to the academy before, and the princess said she would take her to see it.
So then, why would she leave the princess?
At that instant, Qing Zhan didnât quite understand why she got angry at Hei Zhu. âYou should be polite to the princess in the future.â
Hei Zhu looked at her and smiled. âI know you are worried about me, but His Highness only cares about elder sister. As long as she comes back to the Palace, should you be afraid to offend that substitute?â
Qing Zhan was stunned, as if she couldnât believe what she heard. âElder sister was not already...â
Hei Zhu coughed a few times, it was as if she said something wrong. âI meant what if thatâs the case.â
Qing Zhan looked at her and her heart fell down. âItâs hard to say. I can only say that, unlike what you think, the princess will not be her substitute.â
Hei Zhu took a glance and sized her up, âThis womanâs tricks are pretty good, ah! Even you helped her speak? But as I said earlier, itâs okay to have one or two attendants around His Highness. But not that one who played wicked trick, sheâs absolutely unacceptable. Be honest and get in her way. I and others are planning to embarrass her.â
âDonât tell me what you guys were planning, I wonât get on board.â Qing Zhan, somewhat fidgety, said quietly. âLet me remind you that the Princess was selected by His Highness. Donât you need to accept that fact? Thereâs implication if youâre reaching too wide!â
Hei Zhu was dumbfounded. She had never seen the most taciturn Qing Zhan lose such a temper for a person like Helian Wei Wei.
What? Wait a minute!
Elder sister would be coming back really soon.
Not only that, she would also attend White Academy.
Now that the Retired Emperor was present, elder sister would not show up.
However, White Academy was not under the Retired Emperorâs control.
His Highness would not meet elder sister until then.
Whatâs the use of this ugly woman, Helian Wei Wei?
Hei Zhu started laughing. She did not blame Qing Zhan. The child was still young and did not know the news of elder sisterâs life. Otherwise, she would not be confused by that woman Helian Wei Weiâs tricks.
While thinking, Hei Zhu took another look at the direction of the palace bedroom. She believed that in the eyes of His Highness, elder sister was the most important.
If not, for what reason he did not spare a glance at other women for so many years?
In addition, how could a woman who grew up with that appearance match His Highness?
She was like a toad who wants to eat swan meat!
If it wasnât for the Retired Emperor, how could His Highness tolerate that look, and almost killed her?
Hei Zhu caressed the whip marks on her arm. A sinister aura filled her eyes. She must make that woman Helian Wei Wei suffer big time!
The sun was setting in the west. The palace bedroom felt so large.
âHey, woman, youâve been indulging in pleasure and forgetting duty for a whole two days. When will you give me energy?â In the mysterious spatial space, Yuan Ming was very dissatisfied with his masterâs present state.
Sure enough, romantic love, ah!
Itâs one of the ways to make people more foolish!
Helian Wei Wei looked at him viciously and suddenly curved her thin lips: âDidnât you know it already?â
âKnow...what did I know?â Yuan Ming felt somewhat guilty under Helian Wei Weiâs gaze.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Helian Wei Wei put the ancient book in her hand and shook it. âYou knew that my deskmate is the third prince.â
âI also just knew it recently.â Yuan Ming said with a serious face.
Helian Wei Wei lifted her eyebrows. âYou think Iâd believe that?â
âWoman, let me tell you. Itâs good for you to marry him.â Yuan Ming sighed deeply. âI also know that deep down in your heart that you love me best. However, the love between man and devil is fruitless. â
Helian Wei Wei laughed, ââHow on earth did you get that incredibly high self-confidence?â
âWe can talk about this topic later. Now weâre talking about the problem between you two.â Yuan Ming smiled. âIf Iâm not mistaken, the third prince has multiple martial attributes. He possesses all attributes available. If you can control a warrior in that way and do it many times together, you can manipulate metal, wood, water, fire and earth freely, not just the wind like you had now.â
Helian Wei Weiâs mouth curved up, âDoing it many more times? Hmm?â
âDonât you worry, after youâve done the deed, Iâll be absorbing the nutrients at the mysterious spatial space.â Yuan Ming winked enchantingly.
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him, then picked up the ancient book again smilingly. She shook the book several times.
Yuan Ming then felt dejected and hid back in the mysterious spatial space. Sometimes, he really could not offend his master. That look in her eyes could make people fear.
Helian Wei Wei punished Yuan Ming enough. She then carefully thought about his words.
Unexpectedly, these things are worth to ponder about. In other words, that night, His Highness just used her to collect Yang to repair Yin...
