“I think we should be concerned about trying it somewhere else, such as the South Library which is the most exciting for you…” Baili Jia Jue continued with a meaningful gaze.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless.
The cynical mind of the Third Prince was infiltrated into his words and deeds. Helian Wei Wei could never win over him so she decided to continue with her meal in silence.
While having her meal, she consoled herself that a bossy president would give way to their partner, and she was no exception!
Eunuch Sun had no idea what they were talking about but looking at them chatting joyfully, he hoped that they could stay in this happiness forever.
Exactly!
His Highness had been smiling more frequently.
The provocation this time did not even cause a problem in their relationship. Somehow, they were getting even more comfortable with each other.
It seemed like a little prince would be coming sooner or later.
Eunuch Sun was immersed in his joyful thoughts even though he was as busy as a bee while arranging the dishes.
After that, he reported to the Retired Emperor.
The Retired Emperor was jovial with the news. He took a few sips of tea and said, “That’s great, that’s great.”
“According to my point of view, His Highness did not put the Lady Yun in his mind at all,” Eunuch Sun compared between the past and the present before he said with determination, “There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”
Upon hearing that, the Retired Emperor stopped smiling. “Jue Er was looking fine apparently, but he is actually concerned with what his Empress mother did to him deep down. After all, she is still his biological mother and he hopes to get close with his mother. I still remember it when Jia Jue was younger than the Seventh Prince now, not more than three years old. He could already walk by himself. When he received his reward, he wanted to present it to his mother. But somehow, his mother kicked him away. He came to me and asked, ‘Grandpa, did I do anything wrong? Why does mother dislike me?’ Old Sun, when he asked me those questions, you have no idea how sad I was. Since Lady Yun was left to him by his mother and her appearance was quite similar to his mother, thus, he would give her some respects no matter what. I was only worried about the prophecy by the God Monk…”
“You’re afraid that the Prince will fall into the Magic Path?” Eunuch Sun lowered his tone and said, “I can see that the Prince has much improved than before. Due to the presence of the Princess Consort, he has become more alert.”
The Retired Emperor put down the teacup, with a distant gaze, he said, “He is not alert but in fact, he was hiding deeper. For example, last time, those who said that Wei Wei is a sl*t were all killed by him. Even servants were disappearing from the palace. If I didn’t investigate the case by myself, he would even hide the secret from me. Old Sun, I am already old, there’s little that I can do. Please remember that if he has fallen into the Magic Path one day, you must take action. I can’t bear to see how the four influential families take action on him, treat him like a monster and attacking him. His pride does not allow him to put on a speck of single dirt or losing his humanity. Even if it’s not for his sake, I have to be responsible for the War Dragon Empire. Once the Royal Family falls into the Magic Path, the consequences will be terrible.”
“I…” Eunuch Sun looked at the overly tired face of the Retired Emperor, his voice choked and said, “Noted.”
Come out…
After the Fifth Prince was put into jail for a period, there were some changes in the imperial court.
Especially the four influential families for they had initially put their hopes on the Fifth Prince.
After all, he had been pampered by the Emperor for a long time. With his identity as a Prince, he should be able to compete with Baili Jia Jue.

If the Fifth Prince became the Emperor, they would have another slave to work for them.
By the time, they could do whatever they wanted and take as much blood as they could without worrying about anything.
Taking today as an example, they were able to be so unscrupulous since the day they influenced the Emperor to get involved in refining medicinal herbs.
Even the Emperor would like to have eternal life.
However, things had been out of their control recently.
In addition, the War Dragon Army was trying to inspect something in secret.
They need to be more cautious about their actions and this made them very cross!
“If this goes on, how can we have eternal life?” said an elder wearing a white robe, with unusual redness flashing in his eyes.
However, he did not notice that. He touched his face and said, “I will never return to those skinny days.”
“Not just you, we are not willing too.” A dragon head cane was supported on the ground. The other three elders’ faces were lethargic and their foreheads were darkened. “The blood of the sacred beasts are almost finished, we should find some alternatives. I heard that infants’ blood could prolong looks for even longer. I wonder if that works?”
“It works. But, you can’t do it in public.”
A deep noise appeared behind the bead curtains with a faint and gentle fragrance of tea. “Now, I need you guys to create more grievances. As long as the seal is destroyed, we will not only get the dragon god but in the meantime, you all can also regain your eternal life.”
Upon hearing what he said, unprecedented greed emerged in the elders’ eyes. “What should we do now?”
“I have something here.” The man in the white robe stood up. He placed a wooden comb in one of the elders’ hands and said, “All you need to do is to bring this into the palace and place it near Helian Wei Wei. It will function effectively by itself.”
The elders kept the wooden comb with smiles on their faces.
But none of them realized that the eternal life that they were looking forward to, was actually feeding their greed like an invisible shadow behind their back. As the shadow grew bigger and bigger, it was eventually going to take control and replace them…
Meanwhile, in the General’s residence, Yun Biluo who was wearing a cloak passed a letter to a servant.
The letter was intended for Helian Guang Yao and Su Yan Mo.
When Su Yan Mo read the letter, she sneered and said, “The b*stard is getting more capable.”
“Why?” Helian Guang Yao took the letter and read with a toxic gaze. “The Third Prince has always been insidious so it doesn’t seem like he took actions for that b*stard. He was acting cruelly to his brother this time. He will surely have an extremely bad reputation… The Retired Emperor will need to think twice if he decides to pass his position to him.”
Su Yan Mo squinted her eyes as she said, “Both of them are the ones who pushed our daughter to the road of death! I will take revenge on them!”
“Don’t worry, I have done the arrangements for the Clan Meeting. The hidden army will be sending representatives, that will be the time…”
