Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The next day Baili Jia Jue was awakened by the smell of breakfast, as usual.

He raised an arm and placed it on his forehead, as if still a little unused about it.

Helian Wei Wei placed the pork liver with vegetable porridge down and looked at the figure lying in bed. The figure might be small yet still eluded an aura of nobility, even his sleeping position was the standard posture, with both arms crossed on his chest. He only moved when she came into the room, turning his head to the side. His deep eyes and curly black hair was beyond cool.

Helian Wei Wei was engrossed in the sight.

The boy pouted and said mockingly, “Dummy.”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

He had called her a dummy even before she had said anything.

How could this sort of life go on?!

Helian Wei Wei was prepared to teach him a lesson such as tying and beating him up, but seeing the boy smiling after, his adorable look made her reconsider. She could not do it to such a face, so she abandoned that thought. After eating a bite of the porridge, she said, “Have some porridge too, we’ll find a way to deal with the Eldest Prince after eating.”

The boy sneaked a peek at her and pulled his clothes before letting out two uncomfortable sounding coughs. After that, his voice sounded coarse, “I don’t have the appetite, leave after you’re done and close the door for me.”

“No appetite?” Only then did Helian Wei Wei notice the unusual red on the boy’s face, and touched him with her left hand. “Why is it so hot? I’ll call for the imperial physician.”

The boy pushed her hands away. “There’s no need.”

“Your cold seems pretty serious and not recent either.” Helian Wei Wei glanced at the damp cloak he hung on the window and smiled. “But if you don’t want the imperial physician to notice that you went out last night, I can help lower your body temperature physically.”

The boy paused his fingers and squinted his eyes as he smiled again. “Looks like I need to hide it in the future.”

“I didn’t mean to expose you.” Helian Wei Wei smirked, “I’m just trying to tell you that you can trust me. You’re still young, it’s unsafe to go out alone at night, you can call me if you need anything.” It had always been dirty tricks inside the palace, her little prince clearly had not awakened and could barely deal with a servant. What could a child like him do when something happened at night?

Helian Wei Wei felt her responsibility was greater as she felt worried. She touched his forehead again and said, “Take your clothes off, I’ll go prepare something.”

The little boy looked as Helian Wei Wei left and turned his gaze toward the damp cloak, the warmth in his eyes disappeared.

He did not expect her to be so smart, it seemed like he could not leave any trace in the future.

“Why aren’t you taking off your clothes?” When Helian Wei Wei returned with warm water and some wine, the little boy did not listen to her but instead took a fur coat and appeared to be leaving soon.

“I need to pay my respect to my Mother.” His tone was even, “I was originally planning to go later, but you woke me up, so I might as well go now.”

Helian Wei Wei extended her arms to stop him. “It’s not necessary to do that daily, you’re sick now, better get it fixed now.”

“Sister, please don’t stop His Highness.” Yun Bilou came in. While her figure was small, her words sounded reasonable, “You’re new here so you might not know about the inner rules in the palace. The Empress might be alright if His Highness didn’t pay his respect to her in the morning, but others might think that His Highness doesn’t follow the rules because the Retired Emperor favors him.”

Helian Wei Wei looked at Yun Biluo and then fixed her gaze at the small pale face. The calm boy was wearing his clothes without any stops in his motion.

Yun Biluo was carefully arranging the back of his collar next to him.

Helian Wei Wei smiled and said with her flat tone, “The Empress may not have time to care if His Highness pays his respect.”

“What do you mean?” After all, Yun Biluo was someone the Empress picked and sent to Baili Jia Jue. She turned around upon hearing what Helian Wei Wei had mentioned.

Helian Wei Wei sat down, her legs were slightly crossed as she looked at Baili Jia Jue. “The Emperor went to the Luan Feng Hall last night. It has been about half a month since he went there, so he might be staying for a little longer. He even canceled the morning court. Your Highness, do you think it’s now a good time to head to the Luan Feng Hall?” action

“Why not?” Yun Biluo had many considerations as well. “His Highness hasn’t seen the Emperor for a while now, so it’s nothing wrong showing up in front of him.”

Most of all, it was his flesh and blood, even if the Emperor did not care as much, he would not let him be. If he went and greeted the Emperor while being sick, would that not show how His Highness was not living a good life? The Emperor might even investigate those who bullied his child in anger!

Yun Biluo did not have to finish her words to let Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue know what she meant.

Her thoughts were undeniably good, but she was still too young and her plans were not reflective of reality.

Helian Wei Wei let out a lazy smile, “I’m not sure if the Emperor misses His Highness, but His Highness is very sick. If he forced himself to go there anyway, the Emperor may have other thoughts. Do not play tricks against the higher-ups, unless your tricks are better than theirs. The Emperor will not care about tricks like this.”

“But that’s just your guess.” Yun Biluo’s expression froze for a moment before smiling again. “His Highness is really sick, how could you claim that it’s a ruse?”

Helian Wei Wei stood up while looking at her and said with a plain tone, “Then I’ll say something that’s not a guess of mine. The Empress has been waiting for the Emperor to go to the Luan Feng Hall for nearly half a month and he finally went there and is staying there now. If His Highness goes now, he’ll disturb her. So how would the Empress act, based on her personality? Hmm?”

Yun Biluo’s face became pale, she knew the consequence without needing an answer.

Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress only had the Emperor in her eyes and could do anything for him.

“Why do you think the Emperor headed over to the Empress’ place last night?” Helian Wei Wei let out a cold smirk, “It’s all because of the needle holes on His Highness. The Emperor doesn’t like His Highness but he cannot hit him as it’s hard to explain to the Retired Emperor if he did. That’s why he made the Empress do it. While it’s never formally stated, but the Emperor’s attitude becomes better every time His Highness is abused by the Empress, which clearly shows that he’s satisfied with her way. You think this ruse will work on someone who doesn’t care about His Highness?”
