Helian Wei Wei glanced at her left arm which was being held down by him, “If my reason is convincing enough, will you release me?”
“So you really have the intention to leave me.” Baili Jia Jue’s slightly narrowed eyes deepened all of a sudden. Just by looking at the depth gathered within his eyes, Helian Wei Wei felt slightly restless. She took her eyes off Baili Jia Jue unconsciously.
“Look at me and tell me, what your thoughts are.”
There was a sense of restrained unpleasantness in his deep voice. All of a sudden, the hand that was surrounding her waist tightened its grasp!
The strength was so forceful that it made Helian Wei Wei feel a slight pain around her waist. She could not help but frown, and replied emotionlessly, “I admit that I did think of leaving you because I was not sure that the agreement you signed was either intended to appease the Retired Emperor, or you wanted me to be your shield from Yun Biluo. I could somewhat understand if it was the former. But if it was the latter, then I would need to reconsider my future and find another way for myself.”
“You are not a shield.” Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and stared into her black pupils. His emotion was complicated, but he did not hide from Helian Wei Wei. “You are my prey, the prey that appeals to me the most.”
With her head throbbing in pain, Helian Wei Wei gave her abdomen a rub, “Yeah, I know this.” He would lock her up as he liked; it was obvious that he had taken her as his prey. Besides, right from the very beginning, this man had treated her like he was hunting and had wanted to get to her by all means.
“Does my prey need to be anyone’s shield?” Baili Jia Jue asked politely.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless in front of a person in such a courteous manner.
However, it only lasted for a while, just then, Helian Wei Wei seemed to apprehend some kind of information. Without blinking her eyes, she stared into Baili Jia Jue’s eyes, “How many preys do you have, Your Highness?”
“Two.” Baili Jia Jue felt that she was just trying to switch the subject, so he scowled as he answered.
With some complications in her eyes, Helian Wei Wei asked, “One is me? The other one is Fire Qilin?”
“Yes.” Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips, as if he was smiling but actually not. “Are you trying to talk about this now so that I don’t punish you right away?”
Helian Wei Wei continued to stare at him until Baili Jia Jue’s thin lips formed a straight line.
Then, she asked again, “How about Yun Biluo? Why did you not keep her as your prey?”
“Do you think that anyone out there can be my prey?” Baili Jia Jue replied with a cold tone, as he was unhappy that she kept asking about some trivial matters.
After Helian Wei Wei heard what he said, she was suddenly stunned.
She had anticipated for many kinds of situations.
However, she did not expect that this would be the one.
Besides the Fire Qilin and it was her...
“Baili Jia Jue, you have never liked anyone before, haven’t you?” With her exhausted body, Helian Wei Wei asked another question.
Finally, Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth and he replied with slight mockery, “Like? No.”
No wonder your emotional intelligence was so low, Helian Wei Wei gave out a long sigh. It seemed like she had found out unintentionally about some hidden secrets.
Then it was most probably because His Highness had treated her slightly different from others.
Although such thought was narcissistic, she could only apprehend it that way.
Helian Wei Wei was previously involved in a case, whereby the serial killer was equipped with the same mentality. The ones he favored would be his prey.
Of course, she was not saying that Baili Jia Jue had the tendency of becoming a serial killer.
No, after giving it more thoughts, he did have the potential!
Anyway...
Helian Wei Wei did not know the reason why her face was suddenly burning, but she cleared her throat and spoke, “I heard from people around that you had treated Yun Biluo differently since you were young? Why did you not just keep her as your prey?”
“She was a servant arranged by my Queen Mother.” Baili Jia Jue gave a short answer at first, then he continued casually, “Moreover, I did not like to keep prey when I was young, I was only interested in killing people.”
Helian Wei Wei...Your Highness, what kind of childhood did you actually have?
Baili Jia Jue realized that Helian Wei Wei did not say anything, so he thought that she felt embarrassed about what he had done. His smile became colder, “Why, do you feel uncomfortable after knowing all these?”
“No.” After Helian Wei Wei answered Baili Jia Jue, involuntarily she thought of Young Master Tang. Unless it was not a choice, nobody would be willing to learn how to kill at a young age. After much thought, she added, “I know that the palace is not an ordinary place, you were just trying to protect yourself.”
Baili Jia Jue stood in amazement, not because of anything, it was just that the lady in front of him was patting his head as she uttered those words.
Therefore, the prey he had an eye for was indeed interesting.
It was too interesting to the extent that he did not want to let her go anymore.
Helian Wei Wei also felt that her way of comforting a person was too forthright and it was not suitable for His Highness. But she had already moved and she could not possibly have retreated her hand at that moment. Besides, her abdomen was in so much pain that her face turned pale. “Actually, I am not feeling well.”
“Which part of your body is hurting?” Baili Jia Jue asked as he moved his fingers.
Helian Wei Wei stopped him immediately. “You don’t need to unlock me, but I have to tell you that my gown might be stained because of my period.”
No matter how ignorant Baili Jia Jue was toward the sufferings of people, he knew what a period was. Furrowing his brows together, he got off the bed.
Helian Wei Wei had no idea what he was going to do, but he really did not unlock her before leaving.
She was too lazy to struggle too, especially after speculating about Baili Jia Jue’s thoughts.
It would only be a waste of her stamina if she kept up with the struggles.
Although she wished to tell Baili Jia Jue desperately that she was a human and a totally different type of being than the Fire Qilin, she guessed that even if she did voice out her opinion, His Highness would not understand her anyway.
It was more realistic for her to have a good sleep instead.
Helian Wei Wei turned sideways and kept her hands on her abdomen. She was feeling rather sick, with cold sweat running down her forehead as if she was floating in the air.
She was awake when Qing Zhan came to change her outerwear.
After that, she heard intermittent noises from outside, hoping that they could keep it down, but she was too tired to speak.
Just let them be.
Baili Jia Jue definitely would not run around aimlessly, he had directly invited the imperial physician over.
The imperial physician had seen many patients over the years, but this was the first time that he was summoned because of menstruation. He was too shy to take Helian Wei Wei’s pulse, so he only spoke to Baili Jia Jue obediently, “His Highness, whenever a woman has her period and catch a cold, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. You...”
“She is in pain.” With an emotionless tone, Baili Jia Jue interrupted the imperial physician.
The imperial physician could feel the numbness in his scalp just by looking at Baili Jia Jue’s stare, he reached out to wipe his forehead, “Well... it is undeniable that some would suffer more.”
“Is there any solution?” Baili Jia Jue’s frown deepened, creating heavy tension in the air.
The imperial physician thought for a while, “This young lady might feel better if she were to drink some ginger syrup.”
“Might?” Apparently Baili Jia Jue was not satisfied with his reply, “Please provide her a prescription that is able to remove the source of the pain.”
A prescription that is able to remove the source of the pain? It was difficult for the imperial physician. “Your Highness, there is really no prescription to heal this kind of pain entirely.” There were no past records too in the medical field that there was a medicine that could cure period pain instantly.
