“Leave?” Helian Wei Wei sat on the chaise lounge with her slender legs crossed, “Are you chasing me out? What about courting Qing Zhan? Did you change your mind?”
In his heart, Nangong Lie thought, If you don’t leave now, I would never be able to court Qing Zhan!
“Baili Jia Jue told you something, didn’t he?” Helian Wei Wei was smart, and the light in her eyes dimmed, “Did he ask you to chase me out of the Holy Wors.h.i.+p Temple?”
Nangong Lie stroked the bridge of his nose, “I’m sure you know as well, fighting with destiny brings about endless fun, but fighting with him brings about one’s own destruction. I can’t hold on anymore, but I’ll help you in secret.”
“But you’re still chasing me out.” Helian Wei Wei rubbed the teacup in her hands and sucked in a breath, feeling a chill in her chest, “Do you know that it’s snowing outside? Do you want me to freeze to death?”
The things she said made Nangong Lie feel guilty, which was something rarely seen in him, “The Emperor had just gifted me a fox fur cloak, I’ll go and get it for you now.”
“While you’re at it, give me ten thousand notes as well. I’ll need it out there,” Helian Wei Wei requested with a faint smile, feeling a sudden dryness in her throat.
Nangong Lie glanced at her with a look that said she was absolutely merciless!
However, Helian Wei Wei did not think so. Initially, she had the intention of composing herself in the Holy Wors.h.i.+p Temple, preparing to start over again.
But now, that person would not even allow her to stay in the Holy Wors.h.i.+p Temple anymore.
If she did not try to get everything that she deserved, she would feel sorry for herself!
She felt very warm indeed with the Emperor’s fur cloak draped over her body, but Helian Wei Wei’s fingers still felt a little chilly.
When she walked out of the Holy Wors.h.i.+p Temple, the palace maids and eunuchs stood in a circle, surrounding her. They looked at her before turning away and whispering to each other.
Well, there was hardly anybody being chased out at this hour.
Winter in the Capital was so cold that Helian Wei Wei’s brain had frozen and shut down. Her mind was a mess too.
Was she really going to walk out of the imperial palace like this?
In the past, with Helian Wei Wei’s temper, she would have left without any hesitation.
But now…
Helian Wei Wei lowered her head and kicked at the gravel in her path, muttering, “Baili Jia Jue, has your humanity been eaten by dogs? Chasing me out of the palace in such a cold winter, just you wait! One day, I’ll…”
Helian Wei Wei could not finish her sentence, because standing right around the corner was a slender silhouette, his pale fingers gripping an oiled paper umbrella. His dark gaze fell on her and she had no idea how long he had been waiting there…
But one thing was sure, he had definitely heard all the things she said just now!
Helian Wei Wei paused mid-stride and her long leg that had stepped forward was becoming a little stiff.
The silhouette walked toward her step by step, with a fur cloak draped around his shoulders. It was snowing heavily, making the scene look like a stunning and refined ink wash painting of superb craftsmans.h.i.+p.
Helian Wei Wei thought, The adult version of him would inevitably have a composed yet imposing manner, making people afraid of looking directly into his eyes.
However, the young man now was extremely well-liked by people of all ages. Very few people could compete with his appearance and presence.
Soon, Baili Jia Jue was standing just one step away from Helian Wei Wei, gazing at her solemnly.
Shadow was right behind him. Basically, he would speak on his master’s behalf for anything that his master found inconvenient to say, “According to the system, His Highness is in charge of the palace maids who have been chased out of the Holy Wors.h.i.+p Temple.”
Helian Wei Wei simply responded in agreement and said nothing more.
This was how she had always been, making it difficult to approach her when she was being cold.
