Chapter 63 You Dare No (2/2)

Helian Jue straightened his body and said with a smile, ”You are as impatient as before. Is there nothing you want to say to me?”

Tang Xia became more impatient. ”Helian Jue, if there is nothing important, I will leave now!”

As she said so, Tang Xia turned around and was about to leave.

Helian Jue stopped her and said in a serious tone, ”Tang Xia, I need to tell you something about Xingyue Tower. Don't you want to know?”

Tang Xia froze for a moment, turned around, and looked at Helian Jue. ”What is wrong about Xingyue Tower?”

Helian Jue wore a smile. ”The tower was built for you. But I need to tell you that it will definitely bring about big troubles in the future.”

Tang Xia was puzzled by his words. ”I don't understand. Could you please explain it in detail? What is wrong with Xingyue Tower?”

However, a hubbub of shouting came from outside of the prison before Helian Jue could explain. Then one man shouted, ”There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!”

Tang Xia froze subconsciously, knowing that things were not going well.

”It is so unreasonable for me to come to the prison so late for Helian Jue.”

”It will be quite troublesome if someone makes a fuss about it.” Tang Xia thought.

However, Helian Jue was still acting calmly.

It was in noisy disorder outside of the cell as soldiers filed out as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Tang Xia could not figure out if someone was confusing the public or there was indeed an assassin.

In this situation, it would be impossible for Tang Xia to take advantage of the disorder to leave.

Hence, she remained still so as to do nothing against everything.

In the meantime, some soldiers swarmed into the cell with weapons in hand and separated into two lines.

Then footsteps could be heard from far to near.

Tang Xia raised her head subconsciously and what she saw was Chu Tiankuo's cold face with obvious anger in his eyes.

As it was unexpected but reasonable, Tang Xia stayed calm.

Chu Tiankuo froze for a while at the sight of Tang Xia. Then he clenched his hands immediately and looked at her with a pair of fierce eyes.

Tang Xia remained silent, and Helian Jue did not make a move, either.

Their reactions made Chu Tiankuo more furious.

Chu Tiankuo glared at Tang Xia. ”Don't you need to explain to me why you are here?”

Tang Xia raised her head looking at Chu Tiankuo and said with a calm look, ”Explain for what? There is no need to explain. I just came here to chat with my old friend. Since I did not do anything bad, why should I explain?”

Her rude attitude made Chu Tiankuo angrier.

”You did not do anything bad, but why did you come here at midnight? Don't you think it is unreasonable?”

Tang Xia was angry, too. ”Why should I meet Helian Jue if I don't care about Chu Tiankuo?”

”How could he suspect me and get angry with me?”

Therefore, Tang Xia was reluctant to show weakness. ”A clean hand wants no washing. I'm frank and forthright. Who I want to see or when I want to meet them is none of your business.”

Chu Tiankuo was totally pissed off by her words and said after glaring at Tang Xia for a long time, ”Someone! Take my empress back to her palace. She is not allowed to leave her palace without my permission.”

Tang Xia said angrily, ”Chu Tiankuo, how could you treat me like this? You have no rights to restrict my freedom.”

However, it was obvious that her revolt was useless as eunuchs and palace maids surged forward and ”asked” her to leave.

Seeing Tang Xia go away, Helian Jue, who had kept silent, said slowly, ”Is it worth losing your temper because of such a trifle thing?”

Chu Tiankuo fixed his cold eyes on Helian Jue as if he wanted to eat him alive. ”It seems that you want to free yourself soon as you are tired of living in the prison.”

Helian Jue wore a smile. ”You are wrong. How can I be fed up with living here? I've enjoyed a good life so that I hope to spend my whole life in prison as I'm safe from the wind and rain.”

Chu Tiankuo was extremely angry and sneered. ”Are you? I think you are determined to die. Otherwise, why are you still badgering with Tang Xia?”

Helian Jue said with a smile, ”Whatever you say. I think you won't kill me, whether I am determined to die or not.”

Helian Jue's obvious affront made Chu Tiankuo angrier. Hence, Chu Tiankuo said word by word grinding his teeth, ”Helian Jue, do you think I dare not kill you?”

Helian Jue ceased to smile and still wore a calm look, saying, ”For her, you dare not!”
