Chapter 39 Do Not Look For Trouble (1/2)
”When did I say that you murdered Huangye?” Tang Xia wore a sneer on her mouth, and a gorgeous curve appeared on her fair skin in the candlelight, ”What I mean is, it is impressive that you can still talk boastfully in front of the emperor after murdering Faner.”
”As for what you have said, that I maliciously accused you of murdering Huangye, I'm afraid that you feel guilty so you take my banter seriously.”
The contempt Tang Xia showed was so obvious that Yi Jiazi was shocked.
”Your Majesty...” Yi Jiazi bent over her body then knelt down in front of Helian Jue.
”Your Majesty, please help me. I'm so clumsy that Yue Ji's eloquence is beyond my reach.” Yi Jiazi lowered her beautiful phoenix eyes as her curling eyelashes trembled along with her tremulous tone, which made her somewhat lovable.
Helian Jue wore a trace of impatience in his evil but charismatic face, then waved his huge sleeves, ”It was just a bit of banter. Yue Ji did not mean it. You are taking it too seriously.”
After Yi Jiazi heard Helian Jue's words, her eyes trembled, then she stepped forward, lowering her head as she was afraid of being blamed by the emperor.
”I'm sorry that I took it the wrong way. But I don't know what the emperor of Southland will feel about all this.”
Yi Jiazi said calmly, threatening Helian Jue with the emperor of Southland in order to let Helian Jue regard her feelings a little bit.
”Ridiculous!” Helian Jue said angrily. As he had lost his affection of Yi Jiazi long ago, Helian Jue was more disgusted after Yi Jiazi had said such thing, ”Yi Jiazi, what do you mean by saying so!”
Yi Jiazi raised her body slowly, bending low her back, ”I have no other meaning. But you believed Yue Ji's words several times over mine. I'm just worried how the emperor of Southland will react in the banquet in the days ahead if he knows my situation in the imperial harem.”
The indistinct smile in Yi Jiazi's mouth made Helian Jue frown.
”Yi Jiazi!” Helian Jue raised his voice, ”You are just an imperial concubine. I respect you, so I gave you a place as an imperial concubine. What does Southland dare to do to me even if I kill you here?”
Helian Jue's body heaved as he said angrily, ”I already saved your face even when you framed imperial concubines. Do you think your little trick can truly fool me?”
As she heard Helian Jue's words, Yi Jiazi altered her facial expression but stayed calm immediately, with no emotion flickering in her eyes, ”I have no idea what you mean.”
Helian Jue was in a fury at first, then calmed down after Yi Jiazi's words, wearing unbridled coldness in his eyes.
There was a dense killing intent.
After taking deep breaths several times, Helian Jue wore a malicious smile, ”Shun Decai.” Shun Decai standing aside adjusted his expression immediately, ”Yes, Your Majesty.”
”I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: the cheap slave girl - Huangye has committed suicide after framing Yue Ji. Even death would not expiate all her crimes. Grind her bones to dust then spill her bone ash in front of the door of Yi Jiazi's hall to warn the other slave girls!”
Helian Jue walked down the high platform as his robe brought up a gust of wind which blew Yi Jiazi's hair by her ears.
”Moreover, I will attend the banquet with Yi Jiazi and Yue Ji tomorrow.”
As he finished his sentence, Helian Jue fixed his eyes on Tang Xia for a while but looked away in an instant.
”This is the end of this matter. If I hear anyone talk about it later, his whole clan will be implicated!”
Everyone froze for a moment then bowed to the emperor, ”Yes, Your Majesty.”
Helian Jue walked in front of Tang Xia then fixed his eyes on her fair skin and opened his lips but said nothing.
Tang Xia fixed her peach blossom eyes, which glittered with brilliance, on him which made Helian Jue feel like rippling waves were flowing into the softest place of his heart.
”Have a good rest.” After a long time, he said in a deep voice.
Tang Xia raised her chin with no emotion in her peach blossom eyes, then bowed to Helian Jue respectfully.
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
What replied her was Helian Jue's deep sigh.
As this was sort of the end of this matter, the bullet screen in front of Tang Xia was full of messages: most people were amazed at Helian Jue changing his character greatly and were happy that Yi Jiazi got what she deserved.
Some people were conjecturing Helian Jue's intention.
[Fans] Snow In The Mist: As an irritable man, Helian Jue must have other plans to keep Yi Jiazi, who provoked him, alive.
[Fans] Bitch Lian: I don't think so. What I see in the broadcast is totally different from the original work. It may be true that Southland is a powerful nation that Helian Jue will fear. He said those bold words just because he wanted to save his face as a tyrant.
[Fans] Langgelige: The bullet screen zone is so serious... What should I do...
Tang Xia lowered her eyes, not knowing if the fans' words were right or wrong. It was hard to surmise why Helian Jue changed his character over and over again.
Luckily, Helian Jue was in favor of her, which was not a bad result.
Tang Xia exchanged a look with Chu Tiankuo, then turned around to leave when Lengmei passed her gently.
Lengmei wore a dark blue dress, making her red lips somewhat coquettish.
Her waving of her sleeves brought up the breeze, then Lengmei said elegantly, ”I will wait for you at the orchid pavilion.”
Tang Xia was confused at first, not knowing what Lengmei's plan was, but she was so arrogant that she would not retreat without fighting.
