Chapter 442 (2/2)

No matter what it was, as long as the Princess Consort had no doubts toward His Highness then it did not matter much!

“However, this letter cannot be burnt.” Helian Wei Wei rested her chin on one hand while the other was still holding the letter as she smiled indolently.

Eunuch Sun was stunned for a second, he then questioned, “Why?” Could it be that Princess Consort was merely saying that nothing was wrong, but she did actually care about such a thing?

“Try feeling the thickness of this paper carefully.” Helian Wei Wei’s voice was calm as she said, “At first touch, it is extremely comfortable, not a bit rough, and even has a lingering scent of sandalwood. This type of paper cannot be used by anyone, not to mention in the Imperial Palace. Apart from the Emperor and the Retired Emperor, only the other Imperial Princes could have access to such papers. This piece of paper must be kept. When His Highness returns, pa.s.s it to him. If it really is the work of the other Imperial Princes, then we have to guard against them for future events. After all, the conversation between the Retired Emperor and His Highness was also not something that can be easily known by others. It is obvious that this person has some accomplices hidden in the palace.”

As Eunuch Sun listened to the a.n.a.lysis of Helian Wei Wei, he was already stunned silence. When he was looking at this letter just now, he could only feel the rage. How could he possibly be aware of the quality of the paper?

As he was feeling it in his hands now, he did seem quite familiar to the touch, usually, the palace was quite strict about the Xuan paper that was used, and what people could use what type of paper. The Imperial Household Department had records of such things.

The Retired Emperor, the Emperor, and the Imperial Princes were all ent.i.tled to use the best.

Princesses and imperial concubines followed after.

He had been at His Highness’ side for a long time and had somewhat gained skills of discernibility, hence, he knew that these types of letters were usually not sent out of goodwill.

However, he really had never seen such composure as calm and unfl.u.s.tered as the princess consort.

Eunuch Sun could not help himself from asking, “Princess Consort, having seen these words, do you not even have the slightest worry?”

“If I am unable to even tell these actions are to incite conflict, then I shouldn’t continue staying here.” Helian Wei Wei held her snacks box close, then lifted her head and smiled. She said with her s.h.a.ggy hair, “And about imagining things, if others have said that His Highness only treated me like quarry to be reared, then I might have believed it more. Furthermore, at that sort of time, His Highness would have had to answer the Retired Emperor that way, otherwise if he had answered differently, it would not protect me, but instead, it would endanger me.”

Take this issue for instance, the more Baili Jia Jue acted indifferently, the safer she would be. There was no logic in having him protect her, but she still suspected him.

Whether or not what was said was pleasing to the ears, it could not be determined by listening through one’s ears but should be felt through the heart. Thinking of things in a simple way, looking at the outcomes, then only could one determine who really was good to them.

He could be without scruple, and yet contained his rage for her.

She cared not for the process.

They were both people of the same kind, they could not say words of extravagance and sometimes would use methods that seemed to be unscrupulous in the eyes of others.

However, this was merely the way they cared and showed their love for each other. No matter what the other was thinking, as long as the final outcome was for the two of them to be together forever, then it was good enough.

Even while Helian Wei Wei was reading the letter, she did find it a bit ridiculous. Perhaps too many people, in the face of rumors were unable to determine the truth of it. But these people, did they really take her as an id*ot?

She knew how to a.n.a.lyze, knew how to look at the outcome, and understood the inclination these things tended to have. Any form of blindly built emotional feelings would not be able to last long.

From the very beginning, all the doubts between both of them had already been brought to the surface. Others wanted to use a mere one or two sentences to cause her feelings for Baili Jia Jue to crumble. They wanted her not to believe in his fondness for her, but to believe in a sentence or two that distorted the truth.

Why was it that she felt her intelligence was being challenged in ways she had never before experienced? She really did feel like laughing at those people in their faces.

They did not even understand her character, yet they wanted to send letters as such to her. As a bossy president…
