Shadow could clearly sense that there was something wrong with his Master. He went out with joy on his face, but came back with a lonely, sad look.
This was the first time he saw his Master with such a facial expression.
From his memory, His Highness had always been cold and indifferent. He had never shown such an expression even when he was deeply hurt by the Empress.
It felt like he was abandoned by the whole world…
“Your Highness,” Shadow called out as he was worried.
But he got no response in return.
The little boy stood beside the desk and his fingers on top of it turned stiff.
Just when Shadow was about to say something, the Empress’s servant arrived…
The Empress had summoned Baili Jia Jue to her place.
The boy was still expressionless.
Shadow grabbed the hand of the servant and asked, “Eldest Palace Maid, His Highness didn’t cause any trouble lately right? The Empress…”
“Stop wasting time, the Empress wants the Third Prince in her presence for a reason,” the palace maid shook away little Shadow’s hand.
But the palace maid was stopped by Helian Wei Wei who just walked into the room. “Eldest Palace Maid, His Highness is still a prince after all. Now, the Retired Emperor hasn’t returned yet, but when he does, he would surely know who treated the prince well, and who did not. As you can see, the Third Prince is the only prince left in this imperial palace. Eldest Palace Maid, you are a smart person, I guess you already know what to do.”
Helian Wei Wei’s harsh yet soft words got the palace maid to ponder for a moment, and she made a quick decision, “Be at ease, sister, I’ll be with the Empress to make sure that the Third Prince does not suffer.”
Of course, this case was not that simple.
The Eldest Prince’s death had caused the Emperor to lock himself in for two days. Naturally, he did not visit the Empress as well.
The Empress could not tell whether she was feeling good or bad. She looked at the little boy standing in front of her and said nonchalantly, “The death of the Eldest Prince is quite sudden, and I can allow the palace maid to stay by your side for a while more. But why did you send Biluo back here? Huh?”
“It’s like what you think,” the little boy did not face the Empress, his eyes void of any emotion. “Don’t ever think of touching the people around me, unless you no longer want to see that man again.”
The Empress took a deep breath, “Are you threatening me now?”
The little boy did not answer her.
“Have you forgotten who I am? I’m your mother! You even dared to threaten your own mother! You are indeed a devil!” The Empress’ smile turned cold, “How could I have given birth to such a cold-blooded devil!”
The little boy bit his lips and his eyes darkened, “That’s why, don’t provoke me.”
The Empress looked at him. Bam!
The teacup in her hand flew and smashed into the little boy’s forehead, “Get out!”
Blood leaked out from the white cloth on his forehead, but the little boy could not care less about it. His head was still spinning as he walked back to his royal chamber.
On the way, he b.u.mped into the little girl from the House of Helian again.
This time, she did not say a word but ran away with terror.
The little boy pressed his fingers on his forehead and smiled mockingly.
He recalled when the woman roared at him and asked him whether he had fallen in love with this little girl. Now, it felt funny to him.
He would not even lay his eyes on this porcelain doll who would be scared to death whenever she b.u.mped into him, not to mention falling for her.
He accepted all those things just because he felt that she would have wanted to eat…
