After hearing what Wet Nurse Xu had said, Helian Wei Wei set aside the clothes that were in her hands. She unconsciously tilted her head and peered at Baili Jia Jue who was sitting outside, noticing that his eyes were closed. His long eyelashes and elegantly noble handsome face bathed under the light, radiating a refined aura.

“Ultimately, he would have the final say in these matters.” Helian Wei Wei retracted her gaze. Then, she spoke with a normal and casual voice, “If Granny feels sorry for anyone again in the future, you do not have to inform me. It’s meaningless.”

Wet Nurse Xu paused for a moment as her gaze dimmed. However, she did not forget her duty. She merely bowed and continued to look on respectfully as Helian Wei Wei chose her items.

However, Yun Biluo never expected that person to bring anyone to the Royal Wardrobe.

She thought that she understood His Highness’s character better than anyone.

Yet now...

Yun Biluo stared at the white flowers that were blooming outside the window. Her crystal clear eyes darkened as her fingers that were hidden under the long sleeves clenched tightly.

In spite of that, Helian Jiao Er who was sitting beside her still questioned indirectly, “Was that His Highness just now? Why would His Highness bring Helian Wei Wei to the Royal Wardrobe?”

Yun Biluo understood the reason Helian Jiao Er would ask such questions. Before they came to the Royal Wardrobe, she had told Helian Jiao Er about the purpose of the wardrobe.

The wardrobe was exclusively for the royal family to use. Whether it was a robe or a scarf, every single piece was custom made. It would be very rare to find another wardrobe like this in the capital.

Most importantly, only the royal families were able to enter the Royal Boutique.

However, Yun Biluo was different. She was His Highness’s personal servant and the only girl that His Highness had ever brought into the wardrobe.

Yet now, she was undoubtedly not the only one anymore.

Additionally, the reason she could enter the palace in the past was simply that she was a servant.

However, Helian Wei Wei was different.

She was personally brought in by His Highness.

Furthermore, His Highness even waited at the side for her to choose her clothes.

Even if His Highness was simply playing along with the Retired Emperor, what His Highness did was unduly excessive...

Yun Biluo unconsciously scratched her finger at the thought of it, inflicting a sharp pain that woke her up from her wandering mind. She flashed a smile at Helian Jiao Er, “Since he is putting on an act, he wants to act convincingly.”

“Are you implying that His Highness was acting?” Helian Jiao Er’s eyes brightened, “That’s definitely possible. I saw that the shadow guards of the Retired Emperor were following them all the way.”

Yun Biluo absent-mindedly gave an affirmative noise, but she still felt uneasy.

It was probably because His Highness had yet to forgive her.

She had never spoken to His Highness alone since Helian Wei Wei appeared.

She was not sure what was going on in his mind.

However, Yun Biluo was very certain about one thing. This situation could not continue on like this...

“Jiao Er,” Yun Biluo smiled gently and her voice was sweet, “You could not go to the academy and was forbidden from leaving the house, aren’t you bored?”

Helian Jiao Er was very adept at acting pitiful, as she said with self-mockery, “How could I not be bored? Elder Sister Yun, you should know too. I angered His Highness because of what happened with Helian Wei Wei the other day. If it wasn’t for Father and Mother, I would have been married off to that castrate, Huai’an. Now that Helian Wei Wei has someone behind her, I don’t know how she would conspire against me if she sees me again.”

“Miss Wei Wei does have some nerves.” As Yun Biluo took a sip of tea, she said, “I was very shocked when I heard the news too.”

Helian Jiao Er was quick to notice that there was an underlying meaning behind Yun Biluo’s words. For the past few days, all of them were constantly talking about that whore, Helian Wei Wei. Father especially hoped that the whore would make a mistake and lose her right to inherit the royal family. It would do her father a favor if she could lay her hands on some rumors about Helian Wei Wei.

“Elder Sister Yun knew what happened?” Helian Jiao Er lowered her voice, “Please tell me, I won’t tell anyone.”

Yun Biluo pondered and said, “I received some information that claims Wei Ze World has been purchasing a huge amount of heat-resistant steel lately. Helian Wei Wei covertly stored the heat-resistant steel in a cottage outside the capital. She is probably secretly concocting a scheme.”

“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Helian Jiao Er frowned, slightly confused, “Hasn’t she been practicing martial arts all this while?”

Yun Biluo glanced at her and spoke plainly, “Making a martial arts weapon is fine, so is making ten of them. However, making too many would be a different matter. Try thinking about it, would the Retired Emperor allow anyone to threaten the royal sovereignty? After purchasing such a large quantity of steel and smelting them, won’t they all become weapons in the end? Will the Retired Emperor be happy to hear this?”

“Elder Sister Yun is so knowledgeable, no wonder Helian Wei Wei would take such careful measures.” Helian Jiao Er normally spent most of her time fighting with the women from the inner chambers. She originally thought that she was clever enough, having fooled so many of them. However, after hearing Yun Biluo’s words, she realized that everything she did in the past was merely child’s play if compared to the matters that involved the imperial court.

One wrong move and heads would roll.

As this crossed her mind, a poisonous look flashed upon Helian Jiao Er’s gaze, causing her shy beautiful face to look distorted...

All Helian Jiao Er could think about was that she must relay this information to her mother. Then, her mother could contrive a plot and take advantage of this golden opportunity to finish off that whore, Helian Wei Wei, once and for all.

Meanwhile, Su Yan Mo’s face turned sour when she noticed that Helian Guang Yao took another glance at a young servant in the Hei family.

She did not know what was going on lately as Helian Guang Yao seemed to be dissatisfied with her. He warned her not to throw a tantrum when they were out.

Su Yan Mo knew that she should not be revealing her anger in front of other people.

However, her pair of beloved daughters were ‘framed’ by the evil creature, Helian Wei Wei. From then on, she would be wary of the gazes that the ‘ladies’ gave her every time she went outside.

The ladies in the Hei family seemed to be hiding some things from her as well.

The more Su Yan Mo was treated so, the greater her intention to re-enter the social circle.

That was the reason she became more talkative now, compared to her past self. However, this also made Helian Guang Yao lose his dignity. Thus, he let out a cough and dragged her to the side.

“What is wrong with you today? Can’t you say less when we are outside?” Helian Guang Yao was furious. He thought that Su Yan Mo’s actions were depreciating, and he was scared that Su Yan Mo might accidentally discover the fact that he was having an affair. It would be difficult for him to explain to the Su family later.

“What did I do wrong? All this time, what has our Jiao Er become? Looking at it, only the master of the Hei family is suitable for her in this capital. If she could be married into the Hei family, we can erase whatever that had happened previously and start afresh.” Su Yan Mo had never experienced this. No matter where she went, everyone seemed to be looking at her weirdly. She desperately needed something to prove her worth. Thus, all her words and actions seemed to be cottoning up to others. She failed to see that she was in the wrong and even thought that it was the right thing to do.
