Chapter 273 - The Glued Contract (1/2)

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

The night grew darker.

There was no one else in the study except Shadow.

Baili Jia Jue looked down at the Shadow kneeling on the ground. His eyes narrowed into slits. “What have you found?”

“Basically the same as what those Buddhist monks said.” Shadow lowered his eyes. “Based on this subordinate’s inquiry, even for a mind with good mental power, the temperament will not change. However, the princess was like a changed person overnight. Not only the martial qi was so simple, but even the usual habits were different. But strangely, this subordinate made sure that she was indeed the princess. When she fell into the river, her old nanny was beside her. There was no time to exchange persons. No one knew what happened to the princess. This matter is also the most difficult to fathom for this subordinate.”

Baili Jia Jue did not speak but rotated the teacup in his hand. His beautiful side face didn’t show any emotions.

Shadow looked up at his master and continued, “So this subordinate was over 70% certain that the princess had been possessed.”

When Baili Jia Jue heard this, he s.h.i.+fted his sight from Shadow and said indifferently, “There is no need to look into this matter any more.”

Shadow was stunned when hearing those words at first, but then he respectfully answered, “Yes.”

He watched the tall and straight rear view of his master lifting the curtain and entering another room. He was thinking about what to do if the princess was really possessed since the royal family would not allow a person who was possessed to enter the palace…

“Achoo!”

She didn’t know whether the cause was the h.e.l.lish situation she was in these past two days or being drenched with water at her big wedding night. Helian Wei Wei about to fell asleep when her throat got itchy and her nose stuffy. But she felt so lazy and did not want to move.

Then she looked down at the tiger skin to her side. The rug was cold. Helian Wei Wei creased her willowy eyebrows.

The two people used to have a good relations.h.i.+p, so it was unnecessary for Helian Wei Wei to make a fuss.

When she got up, she saw that contract on her hand. It seemed that it had been glued, but the handicraft was somewhat bad. It must have been glued by someone who had never worked before.

Helian Wei Wei was stunned. Somehow, a scene emerged in her mind of His Highness sitting in her study, frowning and glueing things. She shook her head and picked up the paper contract.

Eunuch Sun, who came in to serve her, thought that she was going to tear it up, and quickly restrained her hand, “Aiyo, Madam. This slave begs you, please stop making trouble!”

“Were you the one who glued this, Eunuch Sun?” Helian Wei Wei frowned.

Eunuch Sun was dumbfounded by this question. “This slave didn’t do that.”

“Then, who glued this?” Helian Wei Wei stretched lazily.

Eunuch Sun answered, “I don’t know, but His Highness said that if you tear up the contract again, he will tear you up in return.”

Helian Wei Wei took a glance at Eunuch Sun and jumped down from the bed laughing. “He will not say those things to me. It’s you who wanted to say that, Eunuch Sun.”

Eunuch Sun asked subconsciously, “How do you know?”

After finished speaking, when he saw Helian Wei Wei smiling eyes, he wished he could bite off his tongue.

“Because it’s not sinister enough.” Helian Weiwei touched the paper briefly. “If it were him, he would surely say, Keep on tearing the paper off, I still have some copies in my study.”

Eunuch Sun was stupefied again. He spoke while holding his forehead, “This slave truly convinced now.”

Helian Wei Wei knew she guessed right. The corners of her mouth turned up. She then rinsed her mouth with mint water. In dealing with people, unexpectedly, she and His Highness were equally matched.

“But His Highness gave Princess a task.” Eunuch Sun opened his mouth with a smile.

Helian Wei Wei frowned, “What kind of task?” Is it to deal with these three palaces and six courtyards in the imperial palace?

“His Highness said that in a few days you’ll have to go back to college. You can’t drop out of the academy’s program.” Eunuch Sun was speaking while giving her breakfast. “So let the old slave observe Princess practising the brush strokes for an hour every day. But rest a.s.sured that you won’t have to write too complicated words. You just need to write three words ten times without stopping, and leave the rest.”
