"No!" Old Lady Wang’s cries for mercy became howls.

Wang Ling closed both of his eyes, waiting for Helian Wei Wei’s dagger to cut down.

The evil spirit bowed its head laughingly, the angle around the corners of its mouth grew steeper.

As long as they do not kill me right now, soon afterwards, they will all die!

Very good, everything will end just like that!

However, to everyone’s surprise!

Helian Wei Wei suddenly averted her eyes, which was followed by rustling sounds!

Yan Liu’er who was initially unassuming was suddenly surrounded with daggers stabbing out from every direction!

Those daggers were different from typical daggers. They emitted a faint Light of Buddha, as if they could capture something.

Yan Liu’er widened both her eyes. Large drops of tears were rolling down her cheeks while her speech came out trembling, "This, this is?"

"Even now, you still want to pretend?" Helian Wei Wei spun the last dagger in her hand. In a distance toward her left, sat a black dog.

Yan Liu’er visibly shrunk her shoulders back, "My Lord, I don’t know what you’re saying, pretend? I’m not pretending." As she was speaking, she glanced toward Baili Jia Jue, pitifully begging, "Your Highness, I really don’t know anything, I beg you, please save me!"

"Don’t know anything?" Helian Wei Wei smiled slightly as she walked toward her, until she was two steps away. "Since just now you’ve been avoiding the spot to my left-front side. Moreover, you were rather alert by constantly looking that way. The truth was that you weren’t hiding from Wang Ling, but from Blackie. The aua of resentment here is too strong, Blackie couldn’t confirm your presence, but your reaction explained everything, you’re afraid of Blackie!"

Yan Liu’er’s crying grew sadder. Tears muddled her vision as she spoke, "Ever since I was captured by Old Lady Wang, I was completely shocked. Now, even if it were just the wind blowing or grass rustling, I would be terrified, not because of Blackie which you, my Lord, spoke of. My Lord, have you ever been captured, do you know what it feels like? I thought I was dead for sure, I never imagined that Ling’er and the others were all kidnapped by Old Lady Wang from nextdoor. I definitely never expected that she would go against my will, and forced me to become the daughter-in-law of the Wang family! When I saw those corpses, my heart froze, I desperately wanted to scream for help, but Old Lady Wang had drugged my tea, besides feeling powerless, all I felt was despair. Even Wang Ling was simply helping his mother silently, I never thought that after all the help I gave to them, they would repay me with such ungrateful deeds! Yet now, my Lord is still pointing daggers at me? My Lord, aren’t you afraid of karma?"

"I’m not

Yan Liu’er’s eyes were red, she looked very helpless. "You’re saying my actions were generated after careful thoughts, what about Wang Ling, he refused to take off the wedding attire, isn’t that more suspicious?!"

Yan Liu’er’s voice was very hoarse as she spoke, right after that, she broke into tears. If it were anyone else who saw her, they would definitely think that this girl was very pitiful.

Alas, it was unfortunate because the one she was facing was Helian Wei Wei. "The reason why Wang Ling refused to take off his wedding outfit, being a person directly involved in this situation, you should know better than me. Did you think that I didn’t know the aura of resentment could shift based on its own consciousness, if I’m not mistaken, before the wedding outfits were burnt, you could freely shift. You’re smart, and skillful in using your advantages, as soon as you heard that I’m going to identify you, you immediately caused a commotion. You had possessed Yan Liu’er at first, then a portion of your aura of resentment was given out to influence Wang Ling, but your actual being had always been in Yan Liu’er’s body. When Wang Ling started speaking, it instantly distracted me to begin suspecting him instead of Liu’er, thus your goal was achieved. When the wedding outfits were burnt, although it affected a portion of your aura of resentment that was given out, as long as your actual being was kept safe, harvesting aura of resentment is no sweat for you."

With reddened eyes, Yan Liu’er clenched her hands that were hidden under her long sleeves. "You’re going to kill me based on these assumptions? Have you ever thought, what if you killed the wrong person?"

"There are no what ifs, you are the hostile ghost." Helian Wei Wei lifted the edge of her thin lips and gave a meaningful smile, "My guess is the second Yan Liu’er had put on her wedding gown, you concealed yourself within her body. When the ceremony was over, you would have completely invaded her body. No matter what we do, it would be impossible to exorcise you from her body. Old Lady Wang killed many people, but she did not fancy any of those girls, so you didn’t have the chance to possess anyone. Until you finally met Yan Liu’er, which was obvious that you took action immediately. However, you didn’t expect this golden opportunity would be interrupted, so you could only use the method of possessing Yan Liu’er. Hidden behind the bed mantel, you observe our movements. In the beginning when I was talking with Old Lady Wang, I already noticed the mantel behind her, at first I thought something was hidden inside it, which caused the distortion of the mantel. But now I realize, it wasn’t because something was hidden in there, but because you were standing there listening to our conversation." At this point, Helian Wei Wei paused for a while. Her gaze was filled with cunningness when she continued, "Besides, you confessed just now, that you were drugged by Old Lady Wang. Even calling for help was difficult, which meant the drug that affected you would weaken your limb and turn your voice feeble, but you don’t look drugged, I didn’t know about this at first, now that you said it yourself, I’m absolutely convinced that you are the hostile ghost!"

Instantaneously, Yan Liu’er’s body stiffened, then she started laughing loudly. Her face was filled with indescribable madness, "I didn’t expect such a genius among the humans, but do you think you can exterminate me just by brute force? It doesn’t matter if the Exorcising Tribe was here, even the King of Hell could never do anything against me! Kill me along with this girl if you dare!"

Baili Jia Jue’s voice was unrushed as he commanded Shadow behind him, "Go and get a hand warmer."</p><p>Shadow nodded respectfully, returning almost instantly after he left to acquire one.</p><p>Helian Wei Wei felt very warm, as a warm object was tucked into her left hand while her right hand was held by Baili Jia Jue.</p><p>However, the stares from the surrounding onlookers were too glaring. It seemed that everyone was staring at them.</p><p>Baili Jia Jue’s seemed expressionless, but the covert smile on his face made him look even more handsome than before.</p><p>Eunuch Sun beside them let out a sigh of relief. The others might not understand, but he knew it very clearly.</p><p>Even though His Highness was indifferent throughout the journey…</p><p>Due to recent events, both the Retired Emperor and him were worried that His Highness would deviate into the demonic path. However, it seemed that the Third Prince was still the same. Other than his indifferent temperament and his unwillingness to speak, he was still quite gentle with the Third Princess Consort.</p><p>The Retired Emperor understood his grandson’s meaning as well. He cursed secretly in his heart. Brat! Then, he beckoned Little Seven over and they sat on the upper seat together.</p><p>In front of every minister, there would be a small wooden table that had been set up early in the morning, while the palace maids and eunuchs were standing ready at the side to pour the wine and served the food. The entire vicinity was bustling with noise and excitement.</p><p>However, the more lively it was, some people’s minds would become busier.</p><p>After Baili Jia Jue sat down with Helian Wei Wei in his embrace, he used his long, fair fingers to peel a fried chestnut and placed it in her bowl. As he was using a white handkerchief to wipe his hands, two ministers in the front row of the Great Hall stood up.</p><p>They were the patriarchs of their families, who went to pray together with the Retired Emperor. Everyone was absolutely brimming with joy.</p><p>"Although I’m not in the Capital, I highly revere Your Highness’ valiant for seizing control of the Xuanyuan Kingdom capital effortlessly. Within a day, their King sent his appeal letter to the Retired Emperor and gave up the southern area of the Xuanyuan Kingdom in front of the messenger. This has never happened before! Your Highness’ brilliant astuteness was simply unparalleled."</p><p>"Yes, Old Li and I were stunned when we heard it. As the saying goes, most of the heroes are the youths. Just look at the Third Prince, our War Dragon Dynasty’s status in the Divine Mainland won’t be the same anymore!"</p><p>"An old saying goes, a nation could not be governed by nobody. The late Emperor is dead now. Since Old Wu and I are ministers to three generations of emperors, we want to recommend the Third Prince as the Emperor in front of the ministers! I think no one would oppose if we hand the War Dragon Dynasty to a prince with great mind and ability. "</p><p>Of course, nobody would oppose after experiencing such a series of incidents.</p><p>Even the Fifth Prince’s people had sworn loyalty to Baili Jia Jue, let alone the ministers who were on Baili Jia Jue’s side since the beginning.</p><p>Furthermore, Baili Jia Jue was the crown prince. Now that the Emperor was gone, it was legal and natural for him to succeed to the throne.</p><p>All the ministers stood up and offered obeisance in the Great Hall. Resounding support echoed from them.</p><p>The Retired Emperor was happy when he heard that. Since he did not have much time left, inheriting the throne to his grandson would fulfill his last wish.</p><p>Before his return to the palace, a few ministers had already mentioned this vaguely.</p><p>However, he thought that they would discuss it again a few days later.</p><p>Unexpectedly, they voiced out their support today.</p><p>"My beloved subjects, please rise." The Retired Emperor grinned happily. Although he was slightly doubtful, the joy had dispelled all suspicions. He turned around and said to Eunuch Sun, "The enthronement has always been an extremely important event in the nation’s foundation. You and Lord Li should carefully pick an auspicious day for it."</p><p>"Yes," Eunuch Sun lowered his head and answered, his face beaming with ecstasy.</p><p>The ministers realized that the enthronement was set in stone upon hearing this, so they laughed even more gleefully. Except for the ministers from the two families, everyone had returned to their seats and started giving a toast to each other.</p><p>Especially, those ministers who were on Baili Jia Jue’s side from the beginning.</p><p>They were different from the people under the other princes.</p><p>They obviously knew that who was the wise emperor, Baili Jia Jue had a calm mind and was simply concealing his strength.</p><p>Essentially, he was worlds apart from those princes who were only interested in pursuing their personal gains.</p><p>They acted with great care for the past years, as they needed to be moderate and could not behave too obviously in the Great Hall, even if they were loyal to the Third Prince.</p><p>They were worried that the Emperor would be jealous of His Highness and refuse to give him any opportunities.</p><p>Ever since young, both the Emperor and the Empress had been treating the Third Prince extremely unfairly.</p><p>Although a minister should not comment on the imperial family, the Emperor’s methods were too obvious.</p><p>If the Retired Emperor did not shield him, the Third Prince might not survive into adulthood.</p><p>Since the day when they tested the Third Prince’s martial Qi, the Emperor’s jealousy toward him was hidden within every movement that he made daily.</p><p>In any family, the one who had gained this kind of honor would be praised and flattered.</p><p>However, it was different in the Royal Family.</p><p>Although the War Dragon Dynasty focussed on martial arts and the Third Prince obtained the title of the crown prince as the apparent heir to the throne, people in the imperial palace had always been envious of genius individuals.</p><p>They were almost driven to despair when the huge fire occurred. As they could only helplessly watch a wise emperor fall into ruin, they were very sorry and regretful.</p><p>Unexpectedly, the Third Prince slowly reached adulthood.</p><p>Not only did he not weaken his presence, but he also became the most mysterious prince of the War Dragon Dynasty.</p><p>In no time at all, all the six ministries gradually fell into his grasp. Even the officials, soldiers, and kings of the neighboring countries feared his existence.</p><p>Now, his effort had ultimately paid off. His </p><p>However, the two other ministers did not share this mentality.</p><p>They suggested Baili Jia Jue to quickly inherit the throne, so that their daughters could marry him to help maintain their families’ influences.</p><p>The current situation was clear as day. Even if they did not support the Third Prince as the emperor, he would inevitably inherit the throne.</p><p>Hence, they mentioned it first so that the Third Prince would believe that he owed them a favor. Therefore, it would be easier for them to talk about the selection of consorts.</p><p>The two ministers had planned these perfectly. They exchanged a glance, before one of them said, "The palace has not been peaceful all this time. I think that there should be some joyous events to usher in some good luck."</p><p>"It’s reasonable." Another minister spoke while looking at Helian Wei Wei, "In my opinion, the palace lacks a lively atmosphere. After all, the Princess Consort has been married to Your Highness for quite some time. Since Your Highness is busy every day, I think it’s time to look for a considerate lady to ease your burden."</p><p>Helian Wei Wei was still eating the chestnut that Baili Jia Jue peeled, so she could not find a suitable opportunity to tell His Highness that she was pregnant. Yet, these people were more anxious about her pregnancy than her.</p><p>Heh, they’re really, really silly.</p><h3>Comment (<span>0</span>)</h3><h3>Chapter 715: Trying To Frame Wei Wei But Received A Slap From His Highness Instead
