How on earth did that tone sound like barking an order to a commoner?
It was just a bit soft at the end which made it hard to refuse.
“Make him take notice. Look, his grandson was one among those who were poisoned. Just let him die.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was very indifferent.
It was this indifference that made the ministers scared from the bottom of their hearts!
The assembly hall was in dead silence.
They would never dare to open their mouths again. They were afraid that the Third Prince would attack them!
Only Helian Wei Wei smiled and assented, “OK.”
It was as if she was not afraid of Baili Jia Jue at all, she curled her lips in a lazy manner.
The two people’s figures stood ramrod straight with the setting sun as their background, one was as chilly as an immortal and the other one had a light smile like a demoness. Unexpectedly, they appeared to complement each other.
However, since it seemed that the two had joined forces, more people felt a bit frustrated.
At first, there was only one Helian Wei Wei who had made the ministers ever fearful and nervous.
Now, the Third Prince had joined in!
The ministers looked at each other and the cold sweat trickled down the side of their foreheads.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Helian Jiao Er swallowed down the blood inside her mouth and forced a smile. “Jiao Er had no intention to defy the will. But Master Huai An has already taken my third sister as his wife. I’m afraid that in doing so, my sister will be uncomfortable.”
With these words, she looked at the pale Helian Mei and thought that she might be able to say a word that might help her out of this trouble.
After all, they used to work together like this.
However, she didn’t expect this.
Helian Mei laughed, her voice was deep and hoarse, making those who heard felt terrible, “My second sister is thinking too much. How can I feel uncomfortable? I’ve been with you since I was a child. If we later could stay together, it would be even better. You can rest assured that after you marry, you don’t have to come to my house every day to offer tea. Even if you are just a concubine, I’ll let Husband take more care of you.”
Hearing the words, Helian Jiao Erl opened her eyes wide, as if seeing a ghost, “Third sister, are you insane?”
“Second sister, what are you so excited about?” Helian Mei’s eyes emitted a cold glare, “Didn’t you just mean that if I agreed, you would obey the Imperial Decree to marry?”
Because Helian Mei said such a word, Helian Jiao Er could no longer maintain her image. Regardless of who was around, she stood up and shouted “Helian Mei, you are insane! You’ve really gone mad! Who wants to marry a castrate? It’s you who hold yourself cheap, who let you and that Huai An fell in love in secret! Can I be compared with you? I’m a treasure in my father’s and mother’s hands. How can you drag me in!”
“It turns out that’s what my second sister thought of me.” Blood flew from the corner of Helian Mei’s mouth. “All’s well now, you the family treasure will fall into hell with me. Second sister, you can rest assured that when you come to the Huai residence, I will repay you well!”
Helian Jiao Er honestly did not understand what had happened to her when she listened to Helian Mei’s remarks. She had always been a good girl.
Could it be…because of that cup of tea?
After Helian Jiao Er reacted, she looked at Helian Mei again. Her familiar eyes disappeared, replaced by a bone-eroding hatred.
“Third sister, listen to my explanation…”
