The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 613

Chapter 613: The Wrath Of The Little Prince

Next, the little boy turned his head over and stared at the pale-faced Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince continued to beg for the Li’s lives, “Father, the Li family has always been loyal and honest to you. Simple because of this trivial matter…”

“Trivial matter?” The Emperor interrupted him coldly, “Plotting to kill a prince is a trivial matter? Enlighten me then, what would be considered serious to you?”

“I…I…” Life had been smooth-sailing for the Eldest Prince in the past few years, as everything was planned out for him. Outside the palace, he had the Li family’s support. When he was inside the palace, he had his mother to shield him. As such, he suddenly panicked as he did not know how to handle this situation.

After all these years, the Eldest Prince was the only prince that the Emperor favored. Even if he made any mistakes, the Emperor would allow him some leeway.

The Retired Emperor would return sooner or later, so the Emperor had to use the Eldest Prince to keep the Third Prince in check.

Thinking of this, the Emperor waved his sleeves. “Eunuch Gao, pass on my message! The Eldest Prince is mentally unwell, so from today onwards, Fengxiao Palace’s stipend will be halved. Additionally, the Eldest Prince will be confined for three days!”

“Father! Father!” The Eldest Prince watched the Emperor’s silhouette helplessly as he was leaving. He clenched his teeth and turned his head around, viciously glaring at Baili Jia Jue.

Blood was still dripping from Baili Jia Jue’s face. His elegant and noble appearance did not seem like it belonged to a commoner on this earth.

The Eldest Prince sneered as he walked toward him, “You’re all grown now, eh?”

The little boy remained silent. In his eyes, the Eldest Prince was only a witless and brainless pig, oblivious to its ruin.

If it was not for the Emperor’s preferential treatment, he would have long become a lifeless corpse.

The Eldest Prince absolutely detested Baili Jia Jue’s attitude. He was just a little brat, yet he dared to act superior and looked down at him.

“Good, very good!” the Eldest Prince exclaimed, as he attempted to grab Baili Jia Jue by the collar.

A wise eunuch was tagging along the Eldest Prince. He knew that the incident today was complicated, so he held out his hand to stop the Eldest Prince, “Your Highness, the Emperor is still near. You should not be so impulsive!”

The veins on the Eldest Prince’s forehead bulged, yet he had no choice but to give up as he stared fixedly at Baili Jia Jue. Then, he turned over and when he saw Helian Wei Wei standing on the side, he smirked and said, “Third Brother, although you’re nothing much, it seems like every new palace maid who serves you is more charming than the last.”

Upon hearing it, the little boy clenched his jaw.

The Eldest Prince took a peek at Helian Wei Wei’s expression as she lowered her head. An evil thought suddenly brewed in his mind, as he could not help but crave to look more closely at her.

However, someone blocked the path in front of him. It was simply a tiny silhouette, yet it exuded an overwhelming pressure.

The Eldest Prince snickered, resting his arms on the little boy’s shoulder. “Third Brother, let me give you some advice. Don’t oppose me every single time. Otherwise, I will eliminate you and everyone around you.”

After finishing his words, the Eldest Prince walked away with his men trailing behind him. However, he was frustrated about the Li family losing its power, as it meant that he would lose all the support behind him.

The Eldest Prince’s biological mother, Concubine Shu, lost her appetite due to the Li family’s issue but she did not dare to plead for her son either.

She understood the Emperor’s skeptical character. In times like this, the more she pleaded, the less likely the Li family would survive.

They had to bear with it for a few days.

The Emperor was merely in a fit of rage, he would not actually do anything to the Li family.

When he calmed down, everything would return to normal.

Concubine Shu settled herself down and specially instructed the Eldest Prince to not do anything in these three days. He should simply stay in Fengxiao Palace, abstain from meat, pray for the Emperor, and not to wander off elsewhere.

She also tried to contact the Li family’s former subordinates to stop them from writing in reports to the Emperor.

The little boy stood on the school grounds, as usual, repeatedly rubbing his mouth with his hands. His eyes dimmed along with the darkening sky.

Initially, he did not want to make a move so early.

However, there was an ignorant fool who dared to eye his prey!

His fingers clenched tightly underneath the long sleeves, as his mind sank deep into his thoughts.

Firstly, the fact that he killed someone, should never be known to the woman.

It would be better to maintain a perfect image in her eyes.

It was simply unnecessary for her to know these dirty and heinous things.

The little boy lowered his head, frowning slightly.

“What are you thinking?” Helian Wei Wei’s heart still ached for him as she wrapped the last bandage onto the little boy’s head. Then, she said, “I wonder when this cut will heal. I’ll cook some pork ribs soup for you today, it should be good for your injury.”

The little boy did not tell her that he could easily recover with the Fire Qilin’s and his martial Qi.

He lowered his sight and spoke faintly, “I want some braised beef with soy sauce.”

“No, beef is a stimulating food.” Helian Wei Wei gently kissed his bandaged left eye, adding, “It’s not good for your injury.”

The little boy replied with a soft hum. His face was expressionless as he held her hands. He savored the residual warmth on his left eye. Actually, he did not mind what the next meal was. He merely wanted to feel what it was like to be worried about and cared for by someone.

He had found out a long time ago that she would kiss him when she could not fulfill his demands.

Then, let her do it more.

Thinking of that, the little boy smirked. However, his face remained ghastly pale, without a tinge of redness.

The Emperor was undoubtedly selfish. Perhaps he ignored Baili Jia Jue on purpose and waited until the evening before sending an imperial physician to him.

As Helian Wei Wei observed by the side, she clutched her hands tightly. Why would he ignore such an obedient son?

He would rather be biased toward a prince who is selfish and lustful. The Emperor was indeed a “respectable Emperor” who simply lived to keep his throne.

As the little boy watched as Helian Wei Wei sent the doctor out, he casually summoned the Shadow.

The Shadow thought his master wanted to use the bathroom but was too embarrassed to do it in a woman’s presence, so he approached with a chamber pot in his hands.

To his surprise, the little boy simply glanced at the chamber pot coldly and spoke in a deep voice, “Judging from Emperor Murong’s character, he would surely seize this chance to completely suppress the Li family. Visit Murong Mansion later and send this message to his study room with a throwing star. Do not leave any trace.”

“Isn’t it a bit too early?” The Shadow frowned. Didn’t master plan to do it next year? He’s even practicing his lightness skill for it.

The little boy sneered, “Someone offended me, so I couldn’t bear it any longer. Concubine Shu wanted to protect the Li family, so she refrained them from pleading for mercy. I won’t let her get what she wants. After I eliminate the entire Li family, I want to watch how that pig can steal my possessions again.”

That pig? Is His Highness referring to the Eldest Prince?

The Shadow’s hands shivered. This time, His Highness is going to kill… kill the Eldest Prince?

“Keep this between us, and don’t let that woman know…”
