Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince

Chapter 133: They Were All Chess Pieces

Chapter 133: They Were All Chess Pieces

Zhao knew that if Bai Aoxue could not survive, many people would die. He was not sure whether he would be one of those dead people, but he wouldn’t have any complaints no matter what would happen.

Zi Yuanyue, however, was completely shocked by Zhao’s words. He would kill everyone all over the world. It turned out that the contradictory and peerless woman was more important than master’s grand wish in his heart.

While Zi Yuanyue sighed, she was sincerely envious of Bai Aoxue.

She really had no regrets since she got love from such a man in her life.

“How about your task?” He asked, looking at Zi Yuanyue who was stunned. He still had some doubts about the reason why Zi Yuanyue could come here so quickly.

Hearing Zhao’s question, Zi Yuanyue hurriedly came to her sense and replied: “It’s done. I was originally in Mobei, but some time ago, Minister Yang’s mother in the capital was seriously ill. I received the information that I should take over the business and cure her. I needed to take the opportunity to inquire about the minister’s thoughts at the moment. If he had no disloyalty, he could be drawn over, which will be good for our master.”

After hearing Zi Yuanyue’s words, Zhao nodded in agreement. Minister Yang was indeed a righteous man and was deeply supported by people, but he bore resentment against Jun Wuhen.

If such a talent could be drawn over, there would be many benefits for master in the future.

It’s probably the fox who often hid in the dark and calculated people could have such a good plan.

Zhao thought so with his eyes narrowed.

And here, Zhaoye, who was taking a rest, suddenly sneezed fiercely.

“Eh... Am I going to be sick? Well, Yuanyue happens to be in the capital. I should let her come here and check when she is available...”Zhaoye squinted and said to himself.

In his mind, he began to carry on some intrigues that would trap people.

“Well, you should stay in the capital for some time. Now both master and princess are not in optimistic conditions. We must be vigilant now.” Zhao nodded and said calmly.

After taking Zi Yuanyue to the medicine shop, Zhao stayed outside the yard and thought about what happened today.

It seemed that the people they met today should have grudges against master. He must make a thorough investigation into the identities of those people.

He raised his hand gently, and two dark figures came to him.

“What can I do for you, Lord Zhao?” Those men in black asked respectfully.

These were the shadows guards in 5th prince’s mansion. They only obeyed the voice of Zhao except for that of Jun Yeyan.

“Muster forces to find out the identities of these people secretly. I must know within one day who wanted to set master in trouble. Let me know what’s going on outside. Shut your mouths about the injuries of master and princess. If the information is leaked, kill those informers immediately.” Zhao looked at the medicine shop and said coldly.

In these days, master must have no time to manage these things. In any case, he must put an end to all harmful things to master.

“Got it. How is master now, Lord Zhao?” Those men in black asked uneasily.

They were very worried about Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue. Jun Yeyan was their only master. Naturally, they were very worried.

Looking at the two people in black, Zhao was satisfied. He was very glad about their concern for Jun Yeyan.

Both devotion and loyalty were essential.

After Zhao and Zi Yuanyue prepared the medicine and clothes for Bai Aoxue, they came across Zhaoye who looked worried when they decided to go to the bamboo yard.

Zhaoye was a little surprised when he saw Zhao and Zi Yuanyue, but he had no time to enquire.

“People from imperial palace come and let master and princess go to the palace now. I think Jun Wuhen knew that you went out of the capital. He had doubts in mind, so he summoned master to spy on the truth.” Zhaoye was worried, so his expression was gloomy.

Although Zhaoye knew that Jun Yeyan was assassinated, he still didn’t know the specific situation now. Zhaoye felt a little uneasy.

Hearing Zhaoye’s words, Zhao frowned. At the very beginning, he knew that the information of leaving the capital would reach Jun Wuhen, but he didn’t expect that Jun Wuhen would be so anxious. They were asked to go to the palace when they just came back.

“Where is master?” Seeing that Zhao didn’t speak, Zhaoye asked again.

Looking at Zhaoye who was anxious, he said lightly: “I’m afraid neither master nor the princess can enter the palace today.”

Zhaoye was startled when he heard Zhao’s words. He pressed down the uneasiness in his heart and asked: “Why?”

“Princess was injured. She is in great peril now, and isn’t out of danger. It is absolutely impossible for master to leave now.” Zhao said one word after another, looking at Zhaoye.

When Zhaoye heard that, he knitted his brows. He was shocked to hear that Bai Aoxue got injured, but he was more discontented with it. Bai Aoxue’s injury would definitely affect master, which was what Zhaoye didn’t want to see.

“How could she get hurt? Who did it?” Asked Zhaoye. He looked at Zhao without blinking. The discontent on his face was not covered up.

Zhao sighed softly. He looked puzzled, which surprised Zhaoye.

Zhaoye had been known Zhao for many years, and he seldom saw other expressions on Zhao’s ice face. How could Zhaoye not be surprised?

Bai Aoxue made a bad impression on Zhaoye. Since Bai Aoxue appeared, master was the first one that had changed. Now, even Zhao, who was always indifferent, had changed.

This was not a good thing.

“Master did it. Today, master and princess were ambushed. Master was attacked by poisons, and he also used his internal force, which almost made him lose senses. It was princess who called him back.” Zhao simply elaborated what happened today. He didn’t want to say more, and he also found that Zhaoye was dissatisfied.

After Zhaoye listened to Zhao’s words, his eyes were as wide as brass bells.

He didn’t expect that master could be called back when he was attacked by poisons. He used to be tied with an iron chain every time when he was attacked to prevent him from falling into temporarily mental disorder, which would hurt himself and others.

Zhaoye never thought that Bai Aoxue could call back Jun Yeyan when he lost his senses.

What happened?

Zhaoye looked at Zhao again, hoping that he could tell him the details.

“Zhaoye, I’ll put my words here today. I don’t care what you think of princess, but as long as I am here, I won’t allow you to hurt her. She is the only mistress. So, take back your thoughts. I can pretend that I don’t know it, but if master finds out, none of you will survive.” Said Zhao. He looked at Zhaoye and Zi Yuanyue seriously. The seriousness in his eyes shocked them.

It was because that Zhao, whom they were familiar with, would only care about Jun Yeyan. At other times, he was always as indifferent as a living dead.

However, now he cared about Bai Aoxue so much, which only showed that Bai Aoxue had surpassed everything in master’s heart.

“I don’t want to say more. Both of you are very smart, and you understand a lot. This is the first and last time I remind you. Next time, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Zhao looked at Zhaoye who remained silent and spoke again.

Looking at Zi Yuanyue, Zhao said again: “If you need to decoct the medical herbs, go to the bamboo yard directly. I won’t go there with you.”

Zi Yuanyue was shocked by what Zhao said. Hearing that Zhao was talking to her, she quickly nodded and dared not to say more.

She didn’t have the same feeling towards Bai Aoxue like Zhaoye. To be honest, she admired Bai Aoxue very much. She was pierced by such a long sword, but she didn’t cry for pain.

Zi Yuanyue never had a strong will to do so.

She probably guessed something after Zhao’s words. She admired Bai Aoxue more. How could people not admire such a woman? No one dared to face master when he was attacked by poisons, but she risked her life to save him. She was really as willing as Zhao since master could be accompanied by such a woman.

After Zhao left, Zi Yuanyue and Zhaoye were still standing in place.

“Housekeeper Zhaoye, allow me say something. I don’t know why you are in such a mood, but I think that it’s better not to have such a mood from now on. Today you didn’t see the course. You may think that princess has dragged master down, but on the contrary, the sword on princess’s chest was stabbed by master if what I guess is right.”

“In fact, normal women would have been freak out or ran away under that circumstance. However, princess was willing to sacrifice herself to save master. How can you be unsatisfied with such a woman? What’s more, the person who chooses princess is master. Housekeeper Zhaoye, don’t interfere with his business.”

Zi Yuanyue’s words were sharp, which made Zhaoye angry.

Zhaoye looked up. There was burning anger in his eyes.

But, Zi Yuanyue did not fear. She looked at Zhaoye and continued: “Do you think that I went too far? But what I said is what I thought. I hope that you can think about it. You’d better not expose your emotions today to master because in that case you would be killed by master!”

After that, Zi Yuanyue didn’t say more. She left hurriedly since Princess was waiting for the medicine.

Today, both she and Lord Zhao had enlightened Housekeeper Zhaoye. She hoped that he could behave himself.

After all, they were all chess pieces in master’s hand. Although they would dead at any time, they were willing to sacrifice themselves.

However, once master got mad, he could destroy them within the blink of an eye. Did Housekeeper Zhaoye think that once master had changed, he would show different attitudes to all?

If so, Housekeeper Zhaoye might become beyond redemption.

Zi Yuanyue shook her head lightly, hoping that Housekeeper Zhaoye wouldn’t go too far.

On the other side, Zhao had already arrived at the bamboo yard earlier than them. He was reporting to Jun Yeyan the news from Zhaoye.

After Jun Yeyan heard that, he smiled coldly and disdainfully. He said: “Send someone to burn Zhulan Resort at the West Mountain of the capital. Kill everyone in that resort. Since Jun Wuhen is so leisure that he even has time to care about me, then I’ll find something for him to do.”

When Zhao heard that, his body shook fiercely but dared not to say more. Master’s mood was very unstable now. He couldn’t guarantee that master wouldn’t snap him away if he said one more words.

Zhulan Resort was one of Jun Wuhen’s favorite resorts. He would go there and rest for a few days whenever he had time. He must fly into a rage once it was burnt. At that time, he had no time to care about master.

“By the way, after burning Zhulan Resort, you go to palace personally and destroy that annoying status! If I didn’t need to watch over Xue, I would destroy it by myself. Such a dirty thing should disappear. Since Jun Wuhen cherishes it so much, I will let him taste the feeling of losing it!” There was cold light in Jun Yeyan’s eyes which was thrilling.

However, that concealed sadness was looming.

Zhao knew that his master resented it at the same time when he longed for it.

Zhao sighed helplessly and nodded. He said: “Got it.”

“Well, you can leave now.” Jun Yeyan waved his hand then turned to look at Bai Aoxue. The coldness in his eyes disappeared and replaced by love and care.

“Master, how is Princess now? Do I need to tell her maidservants that she is injured?” Zhao asked cautiously.

After heard Zhao’s words, Jun Yeyan said without turning around: “Xue will get better. Tomorrow, go to pick up Mumian and others. Today, leave us alone.”

Zhao slowly left after saluting. He closed the door quietly, leaving the peace inside the door.
