Chapter 442: Assuming That Sending A Letter Would...?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Letters were something eunuchs in charge of arranging the Imperial Household Affairs would come across on a daily basis. The envelope only had three words written on it which were ‘Helian Wei Wei’.

The eunuch did not know what to do with this letter, as he was, in fact, illiterate, so he passed it to Eunuch Sun.

Eunuch Sun was probably the only literate person amongst all the other palace servants.

Originally he thought to pass it directly to Baili Jia Jue, but before he even had the chance to move, Helian Wei Wei grabbed the letter from his hands.

“Princess, Princess Consort?” Eunuch Sun was momentarily speechless, then signaled for the other eunuchs to leave first.

Helian Wei Wei’s supple fingers scraped the envelope, her lips curved into a smile, then she glanced at him. She opened the letter right in front of Eunuch Sun and began reading it.

Nothing much was written in the letter, the content was merely the conversation between the Retired Emperor and Baili Jia Jue the other day.

From the question posed by the Retired Emperor to Baili Jia Jue, asking what he would do if she was possessed to Baili Jia Jue answering the question, saying that if it was true, he would not easily let her off and would not take her seriously anymore, and so on and so forth. Regardless of whether it was important or trivial, all the details of their conversation were written in the letter.

Helian Wei Wei opened this letter right in front of Eunuch Sun, thus, he could not help but swiftly sweep his eyes over it. Upon finishing the letter, he turned panicked, and thus, he blurted out, “Which b*stard who is unable to tolerate others living in comfort and ease did this to pick a fight? Somebody quick, help me to burn this letter off!”

As Eunuch Sun was speaking, he was also sizing up the countenance of Helian Wei Wei.

He was once again startled.

He could not guess what the Princess Consort was thinking to do.

That day when His Highness was having this conversation, he was also there.

He heard two sentences by accident, and now he had totally forgotten what His Highness had mentioned that day.

No one would have thought that someone would actually take note of such things and show it to the princess consort; it really was an evil thought!

He himself had witnessed how the two of them had been through all this while to reach this point. It was tough for His Highness to finally find someone he liked this much and willing to dote on wholeheartedly.

He really did not dare to imagine, if His Highness were to lose the Princess Consort, would the entire palace have to pay for the price too?

What he and the Retired Emperor did not want to see the most would be that His Highness would fall victim to the ways of evil magic one day because of having a cold-blooded natural disposition. As he was extremely worried that trouble would ensue, he quickly advised, “Princess Consort, you should not listen to the crazed ramblings of these people. Those who could write such a letter to you are obviously thinking of something else. Princess Consort, you better let this old slave handle it as such a dirty thing should never have been seen by the Princess Consort anyway, and on His Highness’s part, even if he had said such things, he definitely did not mean them in this way, His Highness, he...”

“I know.” Helian Wei Wei softly smiled, as though she saw the worry in Eunuch Sun’s appearance, and teasingly said, “Eunuch Sun, you really are more worried about this than your own affairs.”

Eunuch Sun was momentarily stunned, then heaved a deep breath, “Princess Consort, you also did not say a word just now, that nearly scared me to death. This old slave even thought that your heart had begun to doubt His Highness.”

“Why would I?” Helian Wei Wei looked carefully at the letter, her fingers picking it up, she held it to her nose and sniffed it. Her voice was icy-cold as she said, “The sender was definitely not doing it out of kindness from his or her heart for sending a letter in such a method. If such a thing really did happen, I would ask Baili Jia Jue directly, and Eunuch Sun you yourself have already mentioned that the issue of me possessing another’s body was basically a nonsensical train of thought.”

For a moment Eunuch Sun could not react to her words, had he really said that just now?

He must have, right?

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, pass 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 analysis 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 entitled 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 unflustered 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 shaggy 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 analyze, 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...
