Chapter 445: The Couple Dealing With Outsiders

Editor:

The Fifth Prince panicked after he heard what his father had mentioned.

He handled everything with ease in the past as his mother, the Empress had been helping him to solve his troubles.

However, he started to doubt himself in this day and age!

He never thought that the Emperor would find out that it was him. All he did was writing a letter, he even faked his handwriting.

It’s all the weirdo, Helian Wei Wei’s fault!

A normal person would keep the letter to themselves and try not to confront face to face right?

Unexpectedly, she showed the letter to the Third Brother!

What kind of logic is that?

Isn’t she afraid of what the Third Brother said in the letter?

How silly was she to actually hand the secrets of her past to the Third Brother?

The Fifth Prince tried to calm down. He knelt on the floor and replied, his voice trembling, “Father, I never meant to judge Seventh Brother and I have no idea what was actually happening. Every prince owns this kind of paper, even the eunuchs in the palace are likely to pick up the waste paper on the ground. I’m dumb that I couldn’t find any evidence to prove my innocence. Besides, the others have been envious of me since I’ve been pampered by father all these years, such an incident has happened before. I’m not afraid of anything, the only thing I’m scared of is for you to be disappointed with me and that our relations.h.i.+p is affected.”

It was clear to him the reason why his father treated Third Brother with caution and he knew that these words might help him to gain a ray of hope.

As he expected, the Emperor calmed down slightly after he heard the Fifth Prince’s words. As mentioned by Little Five, there might be a misunderstanding. If he took the side of those people who were jealous of Little Five and ruined their father-and-son relations.h.i.+p, their plot would succeed.

Right when the Emperor thought from this perspective, he heard noises from the outside before he was able to talk.

He looked up and saw Little Seven who was strong and dignified carrying a eunuch. He threw him on the ground and said, “Tell father everything you know!”

That eunuch was no other but the Fifth Prince’s personal eunuch who served him perennially.

The eunuch got beaten up cruelly and he was curled up on the ground due to the unbearable pain.

However, this was not the reason that he was going to expose the Fifth Prince.

Until now, he could not forget that demonic stare from Helian Wei Wei whom everyone thought would not survive in the palace and would be in countless troubles if it was not for the Third Prince. Even though her voice was flat, it was enough to make him startle on the spot.

She said, “Eunuch Zhang’s family surely don’t know about Eunuch Zhang’s behavior in the palace. If they knew it, you think how sad would they be?”

She was threatening him!

Eunuch Zhang held his hands tightly but he could not stop the fear rising from the bottom of his heart.

His first reaction at that moment was that things were going to be bad.

Regardless of him or the Fifth Prince, they both underestimated Helian Wei Wei.

She was not an ordinary woman at all, nor was she someone who only knew to eat and sleep.

She had far better tricks if compared to the Third Prince.

The couple was both vicious. They would scheme against others without giving them a room to breathe.

He had to tell everything at this point.

The Emperor was going to calm down, but as he heard Eunuch Zhang’s words, saying that the Empress advised the Fifth Prince to bribe the eunuchs so that he could reach the Retired Emperor and that he used the opportunity to create suspicions between the Third Prince and Third Princess Consort.

The Emperor hit the ceiling after listening to Eunuch Zhang’s words. He threw the mug he was holding toward the Fifth Prince. “You b*stard! You said that you knew nothing and that the others were deliberately making mischief between you and me. You already got your hands on something that you shouldn’t. You have the guts to do this when I’m still alive? Great! Truly amazing!”

He had been thinking that his beloved son was still young and did not know all these things in the past. That was why he was close to him.

He did not expect his little son had his own power in the palace. He already had such wild ambition at such a young age!

He even knew to bribe the eunuch!

What was he planning to do?

The Emperor could never tolerate the princes’ arrogation of powers to their own self. The Fifth Prince’s actions this time had completely violated his taboo.

The Emperor stopped interrogating the Fifth Prince right away. He pressed his temples in anger, “Pull him away and give him fifty birch rod beatings as punishment! After that, make him enter the Cold Palace to accompany his Empress mother who taught him tenderly!”

“Father! Father!” At first, the Fifth Prince was still asking for mercy. Then, he could not bear the pain anymore after a few beatings due to his weak body.

The beatings were going to kill him, not to mention fifty of them!

Baili Jia Jue watched the scene while playing with a porcelain cup in his palm lightly. His smile was evil…

That was the moment when the Fifth Prince realized that the person he provoked not only could win against him, that person also knew how to make use of others to get rid of him unknowingly.

Everything was finally over.

The remaining power of the Murong Family had been scooped until nothing was left and they got replaced by Baili Jia Jue’s sect.

Now only people became aware of it.

The imperial court had decentralized for years and small forces were gone unwittingly.

Looking back at the present War Dragon Empire, other than the power of the four influential families, the rest had returned to the Royal Family.

The world was going to change!

Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly after she heard the news. “Not bad. After the Fifth Prince’s incident, those who wanted to joke at me and the Third Prince will finally remain silent for a period of time.”

Qing Zhan trembled and said softly, “It was not just beatings. The Fifth Prince is just a kid who hasn’t stop weaning. The pain from the few planks on his body is just a small matter. He is still crying every day because he thought that he had lost the Emperor’s love. Besides, they are going to send him into the Cold Palace, it would be much more suffering than death for him…”

Helian Wei Wei arched her brows and said, “Qing Zhan, let’s have a talk.”

“Huh?” Qing Zhan was stunned without being conscious of it.

Helian Wei Wei dabbed her finger at Qing Zhan’s head and said, “I know that you are soft-hearted since the first day I knew you. However, only good people deserve kindness. In this world, people who set others up will receive their retribution one day. We should sympathize with the weak, but if they act in a way that they cry for sympathy when they hurt others but they feel wronged when they were being punished, I will usually chase them off! People make mistakes, especially those who are still young. As for those who feel wronged after they made mistakes, I will only ignore them. Some of them thought that they can steal others’ husbands just because they are young and after they did that, they would cry and say that the first wives are looking for their trouble. As for these b*itches, you are only bringing harm to your friend if you treated them with kindness…”
