The Anarchic Consort Chapter 369

Chapter 369: His Highness Was Enraged

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Da Xiong was puzzled. Yet, he was very impressed by his young master’s assertiveness.

Li Meng had never met Helian Wei Wei but only heard of her name in the Capital.

Now that he had met her in person, he was certain that she was completely no match for his beautiful and deity-like cousin. She was merely a tanned, hideous and petty woman!

Confidently, he stared right into Helian Wei Wei’s eyes and scoffed, “Third Princess Consort, please forgive my bluntness. I’m assigned to investigate the case. I hope that Third Princess Consort can be more understanding and stay away from my duty. These weapons are evidence of your crime.”

Helian Wei Wei let out a discreet and disdainful sneer. Silently, she pulled Little Seven to her side.

Upon seeing her being speechless, Li Meng assumed that she was guilty of her act. Hence, he put on a scornful expression. He beckoned his guards over with a wave, “Chain up the people who are involved in the rebellion and bring them to the yamen!”

“Yes!” The two guards answered as they went forward, ready to seize them.

With a chilling expression, Little Seven waved the wooden stick in his hand. Yet, he was not aiming it at anyone.

However, that was enough to frighten the guards who were approaching him, forcing them to retreat out of the pain they were suffering from the blow.

Within a fraction of a second, their face turned completely pale.

Writhing in agony, they fell on the ground and their foreheads were drenched in cold sweat.

“Get me a few more men! This useless bunch can’t even handle a kid!” Li Meng said furiously. He refused to believe that a boy who grew up in the slum was strong enough to beat the guards. He decided to charge another ruthless attack in order to prod the boy and understand his strength thoroughly.

The guards fixed their hat as they hurriedly responded, “Yes.”

“Hold on,” Helian Wei Wei chuckled unexpectedly. Yet, her laugh sounded chilling, “That’s not necessary. We will follow you to yamen.”

At that moment, the spectators were skeptical, doubting the words they just heard.

What… what is the princess consort thinking?

Just like the others, Da Xiong was confused. With his mouth agape, he watched helplessly as his young master was being taken away. He would definitely be ridiculed by his brothers if they found out about this event.

He was sure that he could defeat the weak and lily-livered men on his own!

Is this a delusion?

He questioned himself as he reckoned that his young master was acting rather differently today. She was being suspiciously obedient toward her enemy.

No one could make sense of Helian Wei Wei’s decision.

However, Little Seventh Prince, who grew up in the palace, could easily apprehend her intention.

If his Imperial Grandfather found out that he was captured, none of these men would be spared.

His Imperial Grandfather might not be agitated if Little Seventh Prince was merely being investigated.

However, if the matter grew… his Imperial Grandfather would certainly tackle the issue in a disparate way.

Hmph!

They have the audacity to interrupt my martial arts practice and disturb my Third Aunt!

When Third Brother is here, he’ll punish them mercilessly!

I wonder if they serve food in prison. I’m so hungry after dealing with these people!

It’s my unlucky day!

Little Seven thought as he kept the wooden stick with a fierce yet childish face. He stood behind Helian Wei Wei quietly. Overwhelmed by his intimidating aura, the guards were trembling discreetly as they cuffed him up.

He looks nothing like a boy! He acts like a f*cking tiger!

He appeared as though he would attack them once they let down their guard.

It did not make sense for Lord Li to order them to seize a boy in this manner.

The guards were put in a difficult position. Yet, Li Meng had completely no idea about Little Seven’s real identity. He assumed that Little Seven was but a b*stard who grew up in this village and the best this boy could do was some basic martial arts. He would never relate this boy to the Royal Family.

Things changed when they arrived at the yamen.

Baili Jia Jue was immediately notified.

In the palace, Shadow was kneeling on one knee as he narrated how Little Seventh Prince was harassed.

Instantly, Nangong Lie put on a smile, “Little Seven was bullied? Who is the half-witted bully?”

Baili Jia Jue put down the letters he had received during the past days, then he spoke in a nonchalant and slow tone, “Who’s the man? Little Seven can easily take his life.”

“And Third Princess Consort…” Shadow hesitated for a moment before he unfolded the entire story honestly, including the part when Helian Wei Wei was taken away.

He gradually quieted down as he noticed the change in his master’s expression. Baili Jia Jue seemed vexed.

Baili Jia Jue remained sitting in the same posture, leisurely yet elegantly. However, a hint of eeriness abruptly flashed through his initially emotionless and tranquil eyes.

Then, a loud crack resonated across the room.

A deep crack appeared on the night illuminating pearl that was sitting quietly on the table.

Out of fear, Shadow held his breath.

He knew that His Highness was truly enraged!

With a cold gaze, Baili Jia Jue stood up. His usual gracefulness had turned into terrifying ruthlessness. He let out a sneer so cold that it could send a chill down one’s spine. “Let the search begin. Bring everyone who is involved in this incident here with no exception!”

Shadow acted promptly after he briefly responded, “Yes.”

The man, who offended the princess consort, had really gotten on his master’s wick.

Not only that, he was an extremely foolish man as well. Out of many other candidates, he chose to capture the princess consort and Little Seventh Prince and put them in the prison.

Even if Third Prince was not bothered, the Retired Emperor would be profoundly distressed too!

Although Baili Jia Jue was always a stony-hearted man, he reckoned that no one could really mess with Helian Wei Wei.

After a brief thought, he had completely understood the situation. He then ordered his subordinates to report the news directly to the Retired Emperor.

Right beside him, Nangong Lie was laughing devilishly, “That’s a good stratagem.”

“She’s forging the weapons under Imperial Grandfather’s order. I’m involved as well.” Baili Jia Jue’s succinct answer showed his determination to take revenge on the man who created this trouble for him.

A clank rang across the room.

The metal door closed with a slam, leaving the loud noise echoing in the room.

Helian Wei Wei and Little Seven Prince were locked up in a shabby dungeon.

Li Meng threw a triumphant glance at them before he ordered two prison guards to watch them closely. He intended to continue his interrogation during his next visit.

Little Seven Prince snorted, “He’ll be dead meat when Third Brother arrives.”

“You’re right,” Helian Wei Wei grinned. She was positive that the man would never allow Little Seven to be persecuted after she noticed how he indignantly glared at the person who mildly criticized Little Seven.

The little bald boy rubbed his belly as he ranted grumpily, “Master Wang promised to make me braised pork with pickles and now I can’t have it anymore!”

“You’ve helped Third Aunt a lot today. After this, I’ll bring you to the Premium Restaurant for a good meal,” Helian Wei Wei carried the little boy in her arms as she wiped the stains off his face.

The little bald boy moved his face away from her hand. “Third Aunt, stop cleaning my face. Otherwise, Imperial Grandfather will not be able to see how pitiful I am. He will assume that I’m the troublemaker. I’ve caused too many fights previously.”

So, you’re actually aware that you’re an infamous troublemaker… Helian Wei Wei thought to herself.

As they spoke, the dark chamber was lit up all of a sudden.

Then, they heard the sound of footsteps.

It sounded like an anxious pace that was rushing toward them. They could easily deduce that the person was in a great hurry.
