Helian Wei Wei was at a loss for words.

Well, it’s such a shady way of tearing relations.h.i.+ps apart. She really was not a match for him.

“Your Highness, are you teaching me how to be a toxic and evil woman?” Did he not say that he hated evil women with ulterior motives? Why was he teaching her this?

Baili Jia Jue did not answer her but instead, rubbed the pad of his fingers against the mark he left on her neck, watching with satisfaction as Helian Wei Wei trembled slightly.

This was one of His Highness’s new hobbies lately, almost as if he was marking his territory.

Helian Wei Wei looked at him speechlessly.

Just then, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes turned cold, “It’s faded a lot.”

Well, that was for sure. She had been using the strawberry juice in her s.p.a.ce every day to get rid of it. If it had no effect, then that would just be a disgrace to her miraculous strawberry juice that had a whitening effect.

Helian Wei Wei smiled, her face revealed a show of joy.

Baili Jia Jue looked at her as coldness acc.u.mulated on his lips as he did not like the joy that she was currently portraying. It was as if this little thing wanted to break away from him every minute of the day…

“Your Highness.” Shadow who stood a meter away, afraid to come nearer as he reported from a distance, “Prime Minister Su couldn’t contain himself from kicking up a fuss after seeing that Your Highness had his men all arrested and is now standing in front of the Retired Emperor’s Palace doors. Su Yan Mo is with him.”

Looking for trouble with His Highness at this current moment. The corners of Baili Jia Jue’s mouth curved upwards, displaying unmasked violence, “Bring Li Meng’s confession and let’s head back to the Palace.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Shadow bowed his head respectfully as he was thinking curiously why His Highness’s tone of voice seemed colder than before.

Regardlessly, this time the Su family had truly fallen…

At dusk, outside the Palace of the Retired Emperor.

Prime Minister Su was kneeling along with Su Yan Mo. He had placed his official headwear on his left and with his knees on the ground, he was waiting for the Retired Emperor to give him an explanation.

He needed a proper explanation for why the Third Prince had arrested his men and the charges for which they were being arrested for.

Su Yan Mo knew of the reason, but she did not dare to tell her father the truth and had only informed him what she had told the Empress.

Prime Minister Su did not know how far this matter had progressed but after all, he had had more experience than Su Yan Mo and knew that the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs could not possibly get much from their interrogations. Hence, he was here to strike first and be one step ahead of them.

His thoughts were similar to the Empress because even though the arrest process had mistakenly involved the Little Seventh Prince, the crime of privately producing weapons was a more serious crime in comparison.

As long as he knelt down at this place today, all of the officials would find out by tomorrow morning during the morning a.s.sembly that not only did the Third Prince want to rebel, but he was also abusing his imperial authority to simply arrest people.

Such was the scene that entered the sight of Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue when they stepped into the Palace.

Prime Minister Su managed to keep his composure as he knelt outside in the summer sun, unwilling to get up. Even upon seeing Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, his face did not change one bit, a clear indication of his deep considerations.
