The Anarchic Consort

“Oldest Sister, are you still trying to rationalize even now!” Helian Jiao Er suddenly turned her head around as her pair of beautiful eyes looked at Helian Wei Wei, they seemed as if they’re looking at a thief with the heart of a wolf. “How did mother treat you. Everyone could see it, yet you treat Mother in this way. Even if you don’t take note of Mother’s kindness, you didn’t have to mix the witch wood and her jewelry to curse her! Oldest Sister, your heart’s so ruthless!”

All of these things could be considered definite proof.

Little Lian’s answers were additional confirmation of Wei Wei’s crime.

Everyone turned and glanced in Wei Wei’s direction, the kind of gaze that seemed as if she was a poisonous snake, or scorpion.

Retired Emperor’s face also expressed displeasure. He couldn’t believe that someone dared to use witch wood at Hidden Spirit Temple in his presence.

How could this girl from the Helian family dare to do these things.

It’s bad enough when these things happened at the palace.

Within a temple, even if someone created a scheme that she fell into, that’s still bad luck.

Retired Emperor creased his dense eyebrows, the sound of his voice was deep as he spoke to Wei Wei. “What else do you want to say.”

Wei Wei smiled levelly. “This commoner’s jewelry was indeed delivered by this maid. I don’t understand why she lied. However, there’s one thing that needs clarification from Retired Emperor.”

“Oldest Miss, even though this servant is but a maid, I still understand what justice is, don’t wrong me!” Little Lian felt so aggrieved her eyes became red. Those tears falling on her little face that’s as fair as an eggshell actually appeared somewhat lovely and pitiful.

Wei Wei stepped forward, extended her hand and grasped Little Lian’s chin as she leaned her head and curved her lips up. After that, one of her palms slapped!

Pow!

That kind of clear and loud sound echoed inside the side chamber and seemed especially ear-piercing.

Not only Little Lian, who was slapped senseless, even Eunuch Sun standing at Retired Emperor’s side was shocked.

According to logic, under this kind of circumstance, shouldn’t she apologize to Retired Emperor as quickly as possible.

This oldest daughter of the Helian family not only didn’t apologize, she even slapped that maid, so rampant, so unbridled, did she want Retired Emperor to sentence her with a capital offense!

“You!” LIttle Lian simply couldn’t believe that Wei Wei would have such nerve and dared to slap her in front of Retired Emperor. She was the personal maid beside Madam Su. For so many years, at the Defense Division, whatever she wanted she had. Her life was even more comfortable than those young ladies at the capital. When did she ever receive this kind of treatment!

Little Lian trembled from head to toe, so angry she couldn’t speak!

Retired Emperor also didn’t think that this would happen, and was just about to get angry.

When he heard Wei Wei’s voice speak levelly. “I’m speaking to Retired Emperor, when is it up to a maid like you to interrupt. Or should we say that you believed your somewhat good looks could keep Retired Emperor from distinguishing right from wrong?”

Just as the sound of her voice dropped, the surrounding people stiffly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Especially Eunuch Sun serving by the side. Even his hand also trembled. This Oldest Miss Helian truly had a lot of nerve, to say that so impertinently!

How could Retired Emperor not know that these words were basically for him to hear!

In a split second, his face became green, and words continuously came out of his mouth. “Good, good, good! The oldest daughter of the Helian family’s truly as they say, rude and unreasonable, rampant and unbridled, with disregard for consequences. An old man like me actually wants to hear, how is it that I’m unable to distinguish right from wrong!”

“Retired Emperor, don’t get angry like this, there are times when someone’s acting skills are just too good, such that it’s truly difficult to see through. What’s more, you’re also getting old, to it’s difficult to avoid making a mistake for once.” Wei Wei smiled lightly, regardless who stood before her, her imposing manner like a queen wasn’t reduced in the slightest.

Besides his treasured grandson, there wasn’t anyone else who dared to make him angry like this!

Retired Emperor laughed coldly. “Helian Wei Wei, did you know or not, these words of yours alone are enough for me to take your life!”

“Of course Wei Wei believes in the broad and powerful imperial might.” Wei Wei’s tone of voice turned around. “However, in my heart, Retired Emperor has always been a monarch with keen mental perception, and wouldn’t casually nor randomly take someone’s life. I won’t conceal from Retired Emperor in saying, when I was a child, the person I worshiped the most was you, Retired Emperor.”

Retired Emperor stared blankly, how’s there this kind of way of slapping a person, then feeding them sweets. So now, how the hell could he command someone to have her dragged out and beheaded!

“Cough cough.” Standing by the side, Head Abbot Fang Zhang wanted to laugh when he heard this, yet couldn’t help but not get involved too much. He only tactfully cleared his throat.

Actually, Head Abbot Fang Zhang especially wanted to ask where this girl sprung up from, possessing the same character as that stinky fellow, in regards to her words making people both hate and tickled, yet still couldn’t do anything about it!

Thinking about this, Head Abbot Fang Zhang glanced at a certain someone, only seeing that person faintly narrowing his eyes, his dark pupils contained a dense dangerous aura.

Head Abbot Fang Zhang was puzzled and knit his brows. Why did this stinky fellow have such a murderous aura?

Nobody provoked him, right?

Could it be because that the girl’s words offended Retired Emperor?

Head Abbot Fang Zhang was still guessing when Helian Jiao Er already opened her mouth, fingers stroking Little Lian’s to pacify her, speaking in an angry voice. “Oldest Sister, you’re a bully! Do you think that saying this will cause Retired Emperor to pardon you? You cursed my mother. Little Lian was merely telling it like it is and you just slapped her like that. Is there still any justice in this world!”

Saying this, Helian Jiao Er walked to stand before Retired Emperor, and with a ‘putt’ fiercely kneeled on the ground. “Retired Emperor! Little Lian has followed my mother for over ten years, and has never committed any wrongs, yet ended up this way. Jiao Er earnestly requests that Retired Emperor bring justice to this commoner!”

After hearing this, Retired Emperor pressed at the space between his eyebrows, and didn’t even take another glance at Wei Wei as he brandished his sleeves, somewhat fed up.

He’s normally not like this. After all, that grandson of his had never specifically made any request on behalf of someone before.

But this Wei Wei truly made a person less than impressed.

Such a vicious and merciless girl, in addition to having no brains. How could he be at ease and have her placed at his grandson’s side!

Shadow following by Baili Jia Jue’s side saw Retired Emperor wave his hand, paused in his steps, and subconsciously turned to take a glance at His Highness.

It’s just that before Baili JIa Jue opened his mouth, Wei Wei already laughed lightly. “Younger Sister, every time you open your mouth, you talk about cursing. From the start, I wanted to ask Younger Sister, you only saw a corner of that piece of wood and don’t even know what’s written on there, yet you already arbitrarily asserted that I’m carrying witch wood on my body. Do you want Retired Emperor to sentence me with a crime so much that you spare no effort in this way!”

Wei Wei spoke the last sentence very flatly.

But when it passed through Helian Jiao Er’s ears, it seemed very ridiculous. The situation had already progressed to this point, yet she still tried to justify herself, truly, really was too ridiculous.

Could it be that she couldn’t tell that in the current situation, no matter what she said, it’s still impossible for Retired Emperor to pardon her!

The maid Little Lian also thought of this as she sneered in her heart. She spoke while her face dripped with pearly tears. “Eldest Miss, something terrible happened, so it doesn’t matter that you accused me wrongly. After all, I’m merely a maid. Even if you force me to die unjustly, it’s still not a big deal. It’s just that Miss Jiao Er is kindhearted, pure, and innocent, yet you talk of her this way. Eldest Miss, you’re really too much!”
