Chapter 616: Fearing One’s Disappearance
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Shadow looked at Yun Biluo’s silhouette and became a little worried . He was not worried about what she would do, but rather that His Highness would attract the Empress’ resentment by chasing her away . If the Empress discovered His Highness’ fault now, His Highness would be in grave danger .
As such a big incident occurred on the Eldest Prince’s side, he would definitely not take it silently . He would surely find trouble with His Highness when he was released .
Judging from the incident of claiming Helian Wei Wei, it seemed that things would undoubtedly go south this time .
Shadow could clearly feel that there was something wrong with His Highness’ mood . After he heard the news that the Empress wanted his maid, he constantly wore a menacingly cold expression on his small, noble face, even as he went to bed .
Shadow was afraid that he would do something rash but strangely, the little boy did not react abnormally . He did what he usually did today, but his eyes darkened gradually and intimidatingly .
“Are you still worried about the Eldest Prince?” Helian Wei Wei supported her chin with both hands while looking at the little boy lying on the bed . Then, she smiled and said, “Actually, this problem can be easily resolved . As long as you promise to go back with me, I will disappear from this world immediately . Then, the Eldest Prince will never be able to see me again . How’s that? Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”
When the little boy heard the word ‘disappear’, his small hands that were covered under the quilt suddenly tightened . However, his face remained calm and indifferent as he uttered, “I told you to stop worrying about him . Now close your eyes and sleep . ”
He’s ordering me again? Helian Wei Wei realized that this child was very young but was already an expert in ordering others . However, the situation had become very serious . Yet, he still did not want to go back with her . What is he thinking? Can he not trust me enough?
Helian Wei Wei frowned in confusion . After some time had passed, only the sound of light snorings could be heard from the royal chamber .
Suddenly, the little boy opened his eyes and looked at the side of Helian Wei Wei’s face . As he stared, a hint of coldness surfaced in his black eyes…
The night slowly thickened .
It was freezing cold, but it simply made the Eldest Prince want to have fun even more .
When he was imprisoned, he had no idea what was happening outside . He thought that with his mother’s help, things would be resolved soon .
However, he could not control his lust . Hence, he summoned the palace maid who delivered meals to Baili Jia Jue to meet him and gave her a packet of medicine . He ordered, “Put this into the woman’s food tomorrow . Then, lure her here . ”
The palace maid looked at the medicine and knew what he was trying to do . She felt jealous at once, asking, “Your Highness, what good is that woman? She looks even older than you . ”
The Eldest Prince did not mind her age . What he wanted was her feisty attitude, but he would not say that aloud . Then, he coaxed the palace maid, “I only wanted to teach that little boy a lesson . This time, I suffered a big loss because of him . If I don’t get my revenge, I would not be able to swallow it!”
Of course, the palace maid did not take him seriously . As he continued to kiss her, her arms slowly hugged him .
Both of them fell into the deep bushes by the river as they made passionate love .
The Emperor wanted to sleep at first, but he was extremely infuriated because of the reports from the ministers . Suddenly, the servants reported that there were traces of the Fire Qilin in the palace .
The Emperor’s eyes lit up at once as he roared, “Where is the Fire Qilin? Hurry up and take me there!”
Fire Qilin was an exceptionally rare auspicious beast .
Everyone wanted to tame the beast to manipulate it .
The Emperor was no exception . The thought of owning the Fire Qilin made his bad mood for the past two days disappear and only the excitement to see the Fire Qilin remained .
The servants did not dare delay even for a moment . The Emperor did not even ride on the imperial dragon or phoenix . He simply put on a fur robe before striding out of the South Chancery and toward the river .
It was very cold outside in the winter, especially at night . White snow blanketed everywhere and puffs of mist formed as they spoke .
“Where is the Fire Qilin?” the Emperor asked . He was visibly excited and spoke in an unusual tone .
The servants were also very excited . They pointed at the haystack in front of them and replied, “It’s just across the river, I saw it with my own eyes . It has fiery red hair, and with every step it took, the earth would shake . Even the ice in the river has melted substantially . ”
Eunuch Gao was curious . Why did the mythical beast Fire Qilin appear in the palace?
Even if it was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, it should not appear in the Royal Garden .
After all, the Fire Qilin hated humans the most .
However, Eunuch Gao would not voice his thoughts . As he was supporting the Emperor, he endlessly praised, “Your Majesty, you are mighty and powerful . This Fire Qilin must have known that the true Son of Heaven is in the inner court of the imperial palace . It’s here to find its master!”
Although the Emperor did not reply, his expression clearly showed that he was very pleased with Eunuch Gao’s words .
However, a little figure standing in the dark suddenly laughed . With a mocking smile, he uttered with a deep and evil voice, “Did you hear that? They claim that you are looking for your master?”
At this time, the Fire Qilin had transformed into a human form . He had a head of gorgeous red hair that was covered under a black cowl . With a menacing smile, he growled, “I did come to seek my master, but not him . Master, I don’t really understand why you only need me to show myself once . I can actually help you to kill the Eldest Prince that you hate . Why do you waste so much effort to attract the Emperor here? Is there really a need for this?”
“If you kill him, his blood will spill everywhere and cause a huge commotion . ” The little boy fixed his sleeves and his eyes were piercing cold as he replied, “Someday, they will know that I’m your master . As you’ll be charged with the crime of killing a prince, people would certainly doubt me . There are too many ways to kill a person, there is no need to take such a foolish route . ”
Fire Qilin raised an eyebrow and inquired, “Your Highness, are you planning to…?”
“Let him kill himself . ” The little boy turned his head slowly and a faint sign of vileness appeared on his handsome little face .
Fire Qilin still did not understand . However, the sound in the grass was becoming increasingly louder .
The Emperor and his people were probably afraid that they would scare the beast away . Thus, they trod extremely lightly and walked even more cautiously as they approached the river .
The man who led the way saw a rustle in the bush and immediately pointed at it .
The Emperor held his breath as he silently moved closer toward it .
Then, the Emperor heard a voice that he could not be more familiar with, saying “What else will father do besides grounding me? I know that he overly dotes Concubine Rong . He would do whatever that woman say . I think my father has lost his senses . One day, I will…”
