Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Who is More Insidious?

“Thank you, Miss Bai. I’ll wait outside.” Meng Fei rushed out after saluting respectfully.

Looking at Meng Fei’s departure, Bai Aoxue glanced at the direction of Jun Yeyan, then turned and walked out.

“Miss, where are you going?” Mumian watched Bai Aoxue come out and asked hurriedly.

“Nothing, I remind of something that needs to bother Eunuch Zhao. I will be back soon. You should go to rest early.” Bai Aoxue explained to Mumian.

“Miss, let me go with you!” Mumian said worriedly.

How could Bai Aoxue ignore the worry in Mumian’s eyes? She smiled and said: “No, I will come back soon. You just stay here.”

Mumian wanted to say something. But when she saw the irresistible expression of Bai Aoxue, she silently swallowed those words back.

Bai Aoxue knew that Mumian still wanted to say something, but she didn’t want Mumian to know them.

Bai Aoxue rubbed Mumian’s head and said: “Go to rest first. I will go back quickly.”

Then she walked towards the door.

Hongxiu and Wenxi heard the door open, and then hurriedly looked at the door, but saw Bai Aoxue walked out slowly.

“You two stay here and take care of Mumian.” Looking at those two, Bai Aoxue apathetically commanded.

These two people must know where they should go, so there was no need to talk to them too much.

They indeed replied tamely without entanglement.

Bai Aoxue no longer wasted time and walked out of Moyu Hall.

Far away from other palaces, Moyu Hall had an excellent environment. It had an independent garden with enormous colorful flowers which could be compared to the Imperial Garden. The beautiful scenery was beyond description.

When Bai Aoxue walked out of Moyu Hall, she saw a brilliant and valiant figure with strong and vigorous muscle in the garden beside a small pond, a saber wrapped around his waist.

When he heard the footsteps of Bai Aoxue, that man turned quickly.

“Sorry to have kept Lord Meng waiting.” Bai Aoxue looked at Meng Fei and said.

When Meng Fei saw Bai Aoxue, he was amazed by her grace. That room was too dim, and he also kept his head down, so he didn’t have time to look at Bai Aoxue carefully.

And now Bai Aoxue came out against the light with blooming flowers around her. That red dress was shining like fire. Anybody would be stunned by her beauty.

Finding this Meng Fei staring at her in a daze, Bai Aoxue cannot help but frowning slightly: “Lord Meng, it’s getting late. Please lead the way. I guess His Majesty has been anxious about waiting.”

When Meng Fei heard the voice of Bai Aoxue, he also completely returned to himself. Seeing Bai Aoxue’s impatient expression, Meng Fei also noticed how rude he was, his face turned reddish.

“Cough cough. Miss Bai is reasonable. I am negligent. Please forgive me!” Meng Fei slightly bowed his head in awkwardness.

“Lord Meng, please lead the way.” Bai Aoxue said slightly.

When Meng Fei heard it, he did not say much else. He knew very well how impolite his behavior was for an unmarried lady.

“Miss Bai, this way please!” After he finished his words, Meng Fei leaded Bai Aoxue to the direction of the imperial study room.

And Bai Suxue, on the other side, burned with jealousy when she knew that Bai Aoxue has stayed over in the palace.

After sending Li Li out, Bai Qiwei saw the pale face of Bai Suxue whose mouth was bit to blood by her own.

“Suxue, what’s wrong with you?” Bai Qiwei knew why Bai Suxue looked like this, but he still asked.

When Bai Suxue saw Bai Qiwei, she asked anxiously: “Father, why can Bai Aoxue stay in the imperial palace!? Is His Majesty having on crush on her? Is he, father?”

Bai Qiwei looked at Bai Suxue who lost his mind due to jealousy. Although he felt disgust, he was still a kindly father on the surface.

“Suxue, don’t worry. Aoxue is just staying at the imperial palace for one night. She is about to marry 5th prince. How can His Majesty grab a woman with his brother?” Bai Qiwei probably guessed Jun Wuhen’s thoughts and comforted Bai Suxue.

When Bai Suxue listened to Bai Qiwei, she also felt him reasonable, but she was not resigned in her heart.

“Father, please let Bai Aoxue get married soon. I am scary even if she just stays here for one night.” Bai Suxue prayed and looked at Bai Qiwei.

Indeed, Bai Aoxue has already made this home a mess. However, what Bai Suxue worried about most was whether Bai Aoxue could become the concubine of Jun Wuhen. If so, she would be stepped on by Bai Aoxue forever.

How couldn’t Bai Qiwei notice Bai Suxue’s thought? He also wanted to send out this hot potato Bai Aoxue.

“It’s coming. Just over ten days. Suxue, you can’t be impatient.” Although Bai Qiwei was comforting Bai Suxue, he was also comforting himself to a greater extent.

He didn’t know what kind of strange things Bai Aoxue would stir up in the next ten days or so. He could only nip them in the bud.

“More than ten days? Will it take that long? Father, why didn’t you let her marry tomorrow?” Bai Suxue questioned anxiously when she heard that she still needed to suffer so much pain.

After listening to Bai Suxue, Bai Qiwei was bored and annoyed in heart. This Bai Suxue was simply blinded by envy.

“Nonsense! Getting married tomorrow? Do you want to defy the order of His Majesty?! When will Aoxue get married is not up to you and me!” Bai Qiwei shouted.

Bai Suxue was scared by the roaring of Bai Qiwei. He never yelled her like this.

“You are being stunned by your jealousy. You should go back and think how many brainless things you and your mother have done in the past few days!” After finishing his words indifferently, Bai Qiwei flipped his sleeves and left regardless of Bai Suxue’s thoughts.

He left Bai Suxue alone in the front yard.

At the moment, Bai Suxue’s heart was filled with one idea.

Since Bai Aoxue was threatening to her, she killed Bai Aoxue once. This time she could kill her again!

Bai Aoxue, who was far away in the imperial palace, certainly didn’t know that Bai Suxue intended to kill her again. But even if she knew, she would probably sniff about it.

Following Meng Fei turning rights and lefts and walking on many lonely paths, they finally came to the royal study room.

“Miss Bai, you are here. His Majesty is inside. You could go in.” The eagle-eyed Eunuch Zhao saw Bai Aoxue who was behind Meng Fei, immediately springing up to greet her.

Bai Aoxue has always been able to feel that Jun Yeyan was behind her, but she couldn’t tell where he was.

Looking around faintly, Bai Aoxue walked forward, being neither humble nor pushy.

“Thank you, Lord Meng.” Bai Aoxue slightly said so when she passed by Meng Fei.

After finishing conversation, Eunuch Zhao walked ceaselessly towards the royal study room.

Eunuch Zhao saw Bai Aoxue coming over and said to the inside of the door: “Your Majesty, Miss Bai had arrived.”

“Let her come in!” A lazy male tone came out the royal study room.

Eunuch Zhao gently opened the door. Looking at the royal study room, in her heart, Bai Aoxue knew that once she entered this room, she was stepping on a dangerous road.

If she took a wrong step, she would die without a burial place.

But she also understood that there must be something reward if she lost something, while She, Bai Aoxue, has never been a person who feared of death!

Stepping forward proudly with her chin up, Bai Aoxue no longer hesitated and strode into the royal study room.

Jun Yeyan, who hid in the darkness, saw Bai Aoxue walk into the royal study room; his sight flickered but quickly disappeared.

But no one noticed.

Bai Aoxue walked into the sinister study room. The entire room was filled with a smell of ink and books.

The embossment was made of pear wood. The floor was constructed by marble, and the neat and clean bookcase was filled with books.

Bai Aoxue approached the high seat. The table in the front of the throne was piled with memorial to the throne. Jun Wuhen took one of them and read casually.

When Bai Aoxue was just about to kneel down, she heard the faint sound of Jun Wuhen spread over.

“You don’t have to kneel, Miss Bai. You are an unconstrained person. Things like kneeling could be exempted.”

Bai Aoxue listened to what Jun Wuhen said. She hated kneeling at the first place. Since Jun Wuhen said so, she was too lazy to pretend.

Causally tidying up the corner of her cloth, Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Wuhen and said: “I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me?”

Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Aoxue who didn’t kneel following his words, his brows raised up slightly. He thought that even if Bai Aoxue is arrogant, she would be affectedly bashful.

But he didn’t expect that Bai Aoxue was even too lazy to disguise.

“Haha, it seems that Miss Bai is really a straightforward person!” Jun Wuhen laughed loudly, while he was inevitably filled with more scruples towards Bai Aoxue.

“Your Majesty over praised me.” Bai Aoxue neither admitted nor refuted.

“Since Miss Bai is a straightforward person, I will not beat around the bush.” Jun Wuhen withdrew his smile.

“Pleas say it, Your Majesty. I’m all ears!” Bai Aoxue casually found a stool to sit down.

Jun Wuhen found Bai Aoxue was so careless about him; he cannot help but be angry. However, it was not suitable to fall out with Bai Aoxue at present.

“I believe that Miss Bai is a wise lady. Maybe you have guessed the reason for what happened today more or less.” Jun Wuhen asked tentatively.

Bai Aoxue listened to Jun Wuhen’s words, her both eyes filled with mockery. She sneered: “Guess? Aoxue is not talented. What I have guessed is the hair of a phoenix and the horn of a unicorn.”

Jun Wuhen ignored the ridicule in the words of Bai Aoxue and said: “Oh? Let me know it.”

“Aoxue has guessed that Your Majesty today used Her Highness Yun as a snare to trap Aoxue. But I don’t understand why you wanted to embarrass me, Your Majesty. For Your Majesty, I am useless.” Bai Aoxue’s slender hand picked up a pastry and said.

After listening to the words of Bai Aoxue, although Jun Wuhen was shocked, he still looked genial.

“Clap clap clap...” Jun Wuhen applauded his hands while walking out from behind the desk.

“Haha, you deserve to be the daughter of Bai Qiwei. You’re really smart. I thought that you are as foolish and weak as people said.” Jun Wuhen walked to Bai Aoxue with a smile held at the corners of his mouth.

“Your Majesty over praised me. Aoxue is not as clever as my father.” Bai Aoxue also held a smile at the corners of her mouth.

“Well, if you are the same as people said, I may consider letting you work for me. But now, do you think I will need you anymore?” A cold light flashed across Jun Wuhen’s eyes, while his face was just like before.

“Since ancient times, the courtier has to die if his emperor asks him to. Now if you ask for the life of Aoxue, Aoxue will also offer to you.” Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Wuhen indifferently.

Seeing Bai Aoxue’s calm and imperturbable appearance, Bai Qiwei was more and more suspicious of what Bai Qiwei said.

“But have you considered, Your Majesty? Now it’s too late for Your Majesty to repent of granting marriage to Aoxue and 5th prince. Just a few days ago, I sent people to inform my uncle at top speed that I am getting married. I think now he should be on the way back.” Bai Aoxue did not change her expression, but the words she said irritated Jun Wuhen.

“What a good lady Bai Aoxue! It seems that I’ve underestimated you! Since you lied to the world before, why are you behaving like this now??” Jun Wuhen lost his temper and snapped a furious question.
