The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 611
Chapter 611: An Alliance Of Two, Time To Strike Back
At that moment, he wanted to kill all of them.
To kill everyone who got close to her!
The young noblemen seemed to have felt something odd. A sudden ominous breeze from nowhere whirled up the dust and snow on the ground, spreading on the noblemen’s faces, making it difficult to even keep their eyes open.
“What’s going on?” The little bully named Li yelled and held up a hand to cover his eyes. When he opened his eyes, Baili Jia Jue who was supposed to be on the ground stood right in front of him. His face was smiling, but his eyes were bloodshot.
Master Li stared at him with a pale face. “D-Don’t come near! If you come one more step closer, I-I will…” Master Li surveyed left and right and bent over to pick up a brick.
However, when he least expected it, the boy in front of him grinned, as if he was prey that could never escape that boy’s grip no matter how hard he struggled.
Master Li was horrified, but the others could not see the expression in Baili Jia Jue’s eyes.
Looking at the person before him walking toward him step by step, he could no longer hesitate. He aimed at the corner of Baili Jia Jue’s eye and swung his hand!
Bang!
The brick made a noise.
The wind stopped.
Blood trickled down from Baili Jia Jue’s face onto his robe. The scene was immensely appalling. In contrast, his eyes had never shone so brightly before. It was so bright until it could send chills down one’s spine.
Master Li was the one who injured him, but he acted as if he was the victim. Fear filled his eyes. “Y-Y-You…” He could have dodged the attack! Why did he take the hit?!
“What’s happening!?”
A commotion was aroused by the noise.
Not to mention, the Emperor was brought to the scene by the Eldest Prince.
The Eldest Prince heard a cry so he thought his plan had worked. He immediately pretended to panic and said, “Did something happen to Li Yu? Father, let us go check it out.”
The Emperor was not anxious at all.
The one who truly panicked was General Li. Upon hearing that it involved his child, he rushed to the scene.
Baili Jia Jue stood with his back facing the rest of the people. The Eldest Prince saw his posture from afar and shouted, “Third Prince, are you being naughty again? You’re still a child. How could you be so cruel! I didn’t say anything when you hurt my eunuch, and now, how dare you bully Li Yu!”
General Li heard this and turned furious. “Third Prince, our Li Yu is still immature due to his age, yet he has never done anything wrong. Why are you keeping him there like that? Shouldn’t you give me an…”
The word ‘explanation’ got stuck in General Li’s throat as Baili Jia Jue suddenly turned his face over.
It was gruesome. Half of his face was covered with blood, whereas the other half still appeared cool and distant. Every part of his robe was wrinkled, without a smooth spot.
It was clear who was the real bully.
Everyone was shocked, especially the palace maids and eunuchs who trod on his heels. The cuts on the boy’s face were too terrible to look at. How hard was he being hit to cause him so much bleeding?
The Third Prince was not an adorable kid. Even when soaked in his own blood, he did not blink, not even once. He just stood there like Lord Yama who was ready to take lives.
The servants could not bear to see the sight in front of them, but they felt ominous at the same time.
The Eldest Prince stood dumbfounded. H-How did it happen? Did I not tell them to merely punish him a little, and not to cause any injuries?
Even if someone had to get hurt, it should be someone on their side.
Why was that br*t, the Third Prince, hurt instead!
The Emperor frowned, and asked in a solemn voice, “What exactly happened here?”
“Father!” Master Li quickly rushed into General Li’s arms, intending to snivel about what happened.
A loud thud disrupted the commotion.
Someone kneeled to the ground. The sound was loud and clear.
It was Helian Wei Wei.
She only had one thought at that moment.
No one would be able to escape unscathed after beating up Baili Jia Jue!
That Li br*t hurt his head.
She would take the life of his family in return!
Thinking of this, Helian Wei Wei closed her eyes, but her words stirred their hearts. “Your Majesty, I do not know if Master Li has any misunderstandings with His Highness. Once His Highness reached the school, Master Li brought along the other young noblemen and forced His Highness to swallow the earthworms in his hands. Master Li said that it was a revenge for the Eldest Prince’s eunuch, Eunuch Zuo. Your Majesty ought to know that the Third Prince is not a sociable person. It’s true that he had rubbed Eunuch Zuo the wrong way, and it is understandable for him to be doubted by others. However, even if they had their suspicions, it should be investigated by Your Majesty. Master Li must have felt indignant, hence he wanted to punish the Third Prince. I was surprised when I witnessed it. How dare a nobleman not of royal blood bully the Prince? How insolent are they, having no respect toward the Prince? As I wanted to stop him, I heard him say…”
Helian Wei Wei stopped talking. She hesitated as she took a peek at Li Yu…
“What did he say!” The Emperor’s eyes dimmed, and his face was void of any emotion.
The Eldest Prince beside the Emperor knew that his father was raging. He glared at Helian Wei Wei.
He cursed in his heart!
D*mn it!
Where did this servant come from! Such a big mouth!
Helian Wei Wei felt the Eldest Prince’s stare. She shivered as she was intimidated by him.
The Emperor turned over and looked at the Eldest Prince with indifference.
Just that one look, the Eldest Prince was completely petrified. “Father, d-don’t listen to that palace maid. She’s spouting nonsense. She’s always beside the Third Prince, of course, she would side with him…”
“Shut up!” Emperor growled. Then, he took a deep breath and looked at his son whom he was most cautious about. “Third Prince, tell me, what did Li Yu say just now?”
The boy held up his head, blood was still flowing from the corner of his eye, staining his entire face red. “He said that he had come to take my eldest brother’s revenge on me. He also said that I should listen to him. Or else, with his father’s army that even you will fear, I, the unfavored prince, will be punished if I touched him.”
The little boy’s tone was dull and emotionless, yet he skillfully added in ‘take my eldest brother’s revenge on me’.
These were the words that mattered most to the Emperor!
He was not afraid of his generals having greater achievements than him, nor him having countless followers. As long as the generals belonged to him, there was no problem at all.
But now, it was fairly obvious that the Li family had severely deviated from the right path…
Emperor sneered. He did not look at the Li family, instead, he looked at his eldest son beside him. He thought he’s all grown up now and he wants to take my throne?
“F-Father…” Cold sweat dripped down from the Eldest Prince’s forehead when he saw his father glaring at him.
