Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

As soon as that was said, the extremely pleased Magistrate Liao began to welcome the imperial officials into the Bayview Seafood Restaurant.

Helian Wei Wei looked at his leaving figure and dusted her long sleeves in a leisurely manner as she lowered her head to laugh softly. Some people would really have to bear the consequences of their actions...

“Shadow.” Helian Wei Wei lifted up her head, and with words as clear as crystal she said, “Have you recorded the names of whoever just entered Bayview Seafood Restaurant and was a part of this reception?”

The Shadow flitted past and respectfully knelt on the ground. “Yes, Lord Wei, they have all been recorded.”

Those who served by the side of the Third Prince were indeed clever. The corners of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth curved upward, “Send those records to your master, and tell him that I will be waiting for him outside.”

“Yes.” Before Shadow left, he could not help but take a second glance at Helian Wei Wei.

In this world, apart from Young Master Lie, there was probably no other person that could be so in sync with His Highness except for the Princess Consort.

Whatever His Highness did, she would be able to understand immediately and coordinate perfectly to complement his plan.

It was the luck of the War Dragon Empire to have the presence of such a Princess Consort!

The celebratory reception was still going on and this was also how the news about Magistrate Liao being released was spread.

Upon hearing this news, Governor Chen could no longer sit still, thus he immediately went to the yamen. His eyes were bearing the look of immense helplessness, “Princess Consort, it’s no easy feat trying to close down this Bayview Seafood Restaurant. If we fail, we may just end up bringing ourselves more trouble than it’s worth.”

“Lord Chen, calm down first. The true progression of the matter has yet to be seen,” Helian Wei Wei smiled lazily.

However, Governor Chen was still very worried and did not even drink his tea. “Princess Consort, you might not be aware of the origins of Bayview Seafood Restaurant. His Highness is definitely more clear about the intricate relationships within it.” Upon saying this, he paused as he looked around and asked, “Where is His Highness?”

Helian Wei Wei blew away the dust on the chessboard before placing a white chess piece upon it, saying unhurriedly, “He was taken by Liao Qingtian’s men to prison. He should be resting inside there now.”

Crack!

The teacup in Governor Chen’s hand fell to the floor in a slip of his hand and shattered into five pieces.

“What, what are they trying to do? Is this an act of rebellion?!”

One could not blame Governor Chen for his anxiety, he was the governor of the provincial capital after all.

If anything were to happen to the Third Prince while he was in the provincial capital...

Even if he had nine lives, it still would not be enough to make up for it!

It was the War Dragon Empire’s future Crown Prince they were talking about!

Have all these people gone mad?!

Even if they were unaware of the Third Prince’s identity, they still could not go around randomly arresting people!

Compared to Governor Chen’s agitated state, Helian Wei Wei was a picture of calm and peace, “Lord Chen, do you still remember what His Highness asked you before?”

Governor Chen was momentarily stunned but still managed to answer, “His Highness asked me how it would be possible to charge liability to a general of military achievement who threatens his peers. At the time, he had said to borrow force in attack.”

At this moment, he saw Helian Wei Wei place the last white chess piece smack dab in the middle to form a complete ambush!

“To borrow force in attack where the target is not just Liao Qingtian,” Helian Wei Wei gently smiled, “His Highness wishes to get to the root of the problem, that is why he took the initiative in letting himself be imprisoned.”

The two words ‘took initiative’ struck Governor Chen suddenly as he immediately understood the plan.

If the Crown Prince was arrested, then not only would Liao Qingtian get into trouble, whichever corrupt officials across the entire provincial capital that were involved in this would be dealt with.

Even the Capital’s Elder could be dragged into this and be punished.

Was this... was it possible that this was the Third Prince’s true motive?!

After all, if the matter was a small issue of a mere restaurant charging ridiculous prices, it would never justify the Retired Emperor going after a decorated war general and would only incite the disappointment of other generals.

However, if the matter was a big one to the extent that it became a crime of rebellion... Then it would be a completely different story!

Thinking of this, Governor Chen involuntarily raised his head, his previously disheartened eyes now gleaming brightly.

The Third Prince was indeed true to his name!

He had heard too much about the ways and methods of this person, and now that he had personally witnessed them, he knew what it meant to be able to manipulate power in the palm of one’s hand!

Baili Jia Jue, this man has been destined since birth to become an Emperor that kills without the need for bloodshed...

As soon as Helian Wei Wei knew that he had understood, she lowered her head and sipped a mouthful of tea with a smile on her face.

At the very same moment, Liao Qingtian was eating and drinking, his countenance was very much at ease and relaxed.

Within a single day of the Bayview Seafood Restaurant reopening, it had earned a large amount of silver.

However, he was unaware that at this point in time, someone he could not have imagined had just arrived at the provincial capital and was currently in the Son of Heaven private room at Bayview Seafood Restaurant. By this person’s side was five or six armed bodyguards, the air of each person surpassing that of any commoners...

Meanwhile, having heard that Helian Wei Wei was too poor to be able to enter the Bayview Seafood Restaurant, Liao Wenwen finally felt avenged, “Bumpkins will be bumpkins. He deserves having his private advisor being caught!”

“Young Lady, I heard that the Old Master was going to punish the one who named Wei, he probably won’t live very long.” Even though the maid was young, her words were full of evil.

Liao Wenwen had initially wanted to say some more, but she was suddenly met by a flying meat bun that hit her right in the face, that she so carefully treasured!

“Who, who was that?!” Liao Wenwen was fuming, she felt as though her entire face smelled of the bun filling. She wanted to kill the person who had thrown that pork bun!

A little boy raised up the wooden stick in his hand, and majestically, he said, “Me!”

“You!” Liao Wenwen had not expected that she would be bullied by a small child, “Whose child is this with such rude manners?”

The little boy looked at her straightforwardly, and coolly said, “Shut up, ugly girl.”

Ugly girl?!

Liao Wenwen had always been proud of her looks, and upon hearing these two words, she blew up in anger, “I dare you to stay right where you are and don’t walk away if you have the guts for it! Today I will show you, you little rude b*stard, what it means to have offended Liao Wenwen!”

The little boy only felt that this person was really annoying. He had never planned on walking away in the first place. He had just come out to relieve himself when he heard someone talking about his Third Brother and Third Aunt, so of course, he would not let her off the hook so easily. This ugly girl was constantly shouting, what was she exactly shouting about?

As a low-profile male beauty, Little Seven could not help but express his confusion over this.

Liao Qingtian was originally eating here and having heard some commotion from this area, he had brought a few soldiers over here, “Wenwen, what’s the matter?”

“Daddy, it was this little b*st*rd, he threw a bun at me, and even scolded me!” Liao Wenwen pointed at the shiny bald head of the little boy, unaffected by the fact that he was just a child.

Liao Qingtian looked at the child wearing clad in monk’s robes, and did not think much of him, “Where did this poor little devil come from!”

Perhaps it was because the commotion had gotten too loud, it had also disturbed the occupants of the private room.

Upon catching sight of his grandfather appearing at the doorway, the little boy did not talk back and merely stood there with his small face scrunched up, extremely unhappy about it all.

However, due to the fact that the Liao family’s father and daughter had their back to the Retired Emperor, Liao Qingtian did not realize that the Retired Emperor was also present.

In fact, Liao Wenwen was still shouting on about having Little Seven tied up and being given a good beating!

Behind them, Eunuch Sun had already begun to get angry!

Where is this crazy girl from, thinking that she could bully their Little Highness!
