Chapter 181: His Highness and Wei Wei

He also shouldn’t take advantage of that girl like that.

Hei Ze creased his dense brows. His mouth didn’t say it, but his heart already took Wei Wei to be his younger sister early on. They shared the kind of sentiment between a sister and brother.

He’d never seen such a girl before. Too many things happened to her. If she were a male, she still would’ve stumbled by this point, yet her demeanor remained das.h.i.+ngly free and at ease, as if she could confront anything she encountered.

Her temperament was good, especially in how gently she treated the elderly.

Hei Ze knew that her character clearly wasn’t gentle and soft, yet she’s able to take care of people in all respects.

Interacting with her would cause tensions to pa.s.s, making people very comfortable.

No wonder people in the shop, whether they’re male or female, all wors.h.i.+ped her like an idol.

However, precisely because this person’s family was taken away, power was seized, and even was kicked out of the family, there’s no power supporting her from behind, so it’s even more convenient to take advantage of her.

He didn’t deny that when he first a.s.sociated with Wei Wei, he wanted to push her away in order to protect that person at the bottom of is heart.

After all, the situation at the capitol was very unstable, there were some secrets that people from the four great clans didn’t want the court, or even their successors such as himself, to find out about.

These secrets made Hei Ze unsettled. Because of that, in recent years, he changed his stance.

Yet ever since he genuinely got to know Wei Wei, he no longer had those thoughts such as in order to protect a person, he would have to sacrifice another.

After all, he’s not a member of the imperial family, and also didn’t need to insist on going that far when handling matters.

It’s just that the person that he liked, simply didn’t have any interest in him. In regards to who he’d marry in the future, she also didn’t care.

This made him repeatedly got close to Wei Wei in order to make that person regretful!

However, even while he’s doing these things, he firmly believed that even if someone truly came to bring Wei Wei trouble, he would handle it.

Because he treasured this friend.

Yet what was Third Prince thinking, he had no way of finding out.

If the other person truly did it to protect that maid that was formerly very important to him, and he chose Wei Wei to be his consort because of that, then no matter what happened in the future, Wei Wei would have to carry everything on her own shoulders. In the imperial palace, struggles for power and position, and scheming was even more ferocious than between the four clans. In addition, the current empress actually wasn’t Third Prince’s birth mother, and the emperor was engrossed in female charms year round.

Once Wei Wei entered the palace, she’d be like a filet of fish waiting to be sliced up by others.

If Third Prince chose this Third Prince Consort in order to have someone block these knives on behalf of the girl in the depths of his heart, how would Wei Wei have an easy time….

After all, Third Prince, this guy’s thoughts were too deep, just too deep. What he was really up to, it’s truly difficult to say.

In addition, when he recently returned to the capitol again, he received news which was also related to that maid.

Not long from now, that news would also spread throughout the capital.

When the moment came, what would Third Prince do…

It seemed at, when they arrive at Hidden Spirit Shrine, he’d need to find an opportunity to properly have a chat with that girl, have her stay a bit further away from Third Prince. It’s best if she didn’t involve herself within these incessant power struggles.

Hei Ze didn’t know at all that Wei Wei already involved herself. Moreover, everything she’d done was voluntary.

Because Wei Wei’s ident.i.ty already doomed her to be involved in people’s interests. She absolutely wouldn’t leave things as they are.

She wanted to seize back the Helian family, so she needed to first stand at a position to rival the four great clans, because the one she had to face wasn’t merely those Helian double-crossers. There was also the Su family, who had tremendous influence at court…

Creak.

Evening. The wheels had turned countless revolutions. They’re on the last leg of their journey to Hidden Spirit Shrine.

This section of the mountain road was very rugged, in addition to the numerous number of trees, which wasn’t very suitable for carriages.

Wei Wei hadn’t opened her eyes, yet Chen Wen Wan, who sat across from her, already woke up and sat looking at her unblinkingly. Seeing that she woke up, her face then showed a smiling expression. “Younger Sister, you finally woke up. There seems to be a blockage in the road before us. The imperial guards are at the fork in the road.”

“This kind of weather is indeed accident p.r.o.ne.” Wei Wei turned her lips into a smile that’s not a smile. In all likelihood, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that this blockage was man-made.

Chen Wen Wan took out her handkerchief and dried the water around the window. “Younger Sister is right, we need to be more careful. If the road in front can’t be crossed, I reckon that in moment, we’ll all need to go on foot.”

“Mm hm.” Wei Wei agreed levelly.

Appearing uneasy, Chen Wen Wan continued to ask. “Younger Sister seems to be on very good terms with Young Master Hei.”

“We’re OK.” Wei Wei smiled.

Chen Wen Wan looked down, and wiped the window again. “Younger Sister’s truly fortunate.”

“Let’s not talk about me. Sister Chen has guessed correctly. For the next section of road, we’ll truly need to walk up the mountain.” While Wei Wei was talking, she lifted the curtains, and stepped out.

The rain was still falling outside, all of the young ladies in front had already received news from an imperial guard coming over on horseback. Each one of them came down from their horse carriages, their maids holding umbrellas for them, waiting by the side.

Wei Wei and the rest of the group pretty much were at the tail end. Everyone had to come down before they could all move forward. However, they’re now on foot.

In the distance, Wei Wei could see that between a group of people, the figure of that imposing, tall person didn’t appear to have been touched at all by dust nor wind.

Wei Wei was puzzled. The rain was pouring, yet not even one drop reached his body.

While thinking about this, Wei Wei turned towards Hei Ze, whose black hair was already wet and saw rain water pouring on his forehead. Mm, this was what should normally happen.

That person, Third Prince, was too abnormal.

As if he’d noticed Wei Wei’s gaze, suddenly, that person’s face turned her way. Don’t know if it was because of the umbrella, or because of the rain, that pair of eyes as deep as an ancient pond, was more ice-cold than at any other time, and seemed to lack any temperature.

That glance casted at her was so cold it made her tooth ache.

Wei Wei stared blankly, what’s going on here, she hadn’t provoked him.

However, even though he was as distant as a G.o.d.

There were still people who worried about his safety.

Eunuch Sun was a perfect example. “Your Highness, the road in front of us is too slippery, you should look carefully.”

Wei Wei watched the Eunuch calling out incessantly, shook her head, and thought to herself. Based on Third Prince’s degree of mysophobia, even if you didn’t remind him, he’d still pay careful attention.

“Is there money on the ground, that your head’s not looking up.”

After the ice-cold voice transmitted by her ear, it gave her a kind of illusion of being at the north pole.

“Your Highness?” How did this man end up behind the troops?

Wei Wei knitted her long, shapely brows.

Baili Jia Jue looked at her coldly and detachedly. His lips shaped into an arc that couldn’t be considered a smile. “Otherwise, who do you think it’d be?”

Wei Wei:…she didn’t think it’d be anybody.

“Did you not bring your brains when you left today.” Baili Jia Jue casted a glance at her completely empty hand, his eyes emotionless.

Wei Wei:…she hadn’t seen him for a few days, yet this man’s poisonous tongue became increasingly undisguised. Wait a minute, did he come by this time just to he could insult her IQ?
