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 .
