Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince Chapter 151 - Petals of peach tree blossoms floated in the wind and fell everywhere

Chapter 151 Petals of peach tree blossoms floated in the wind and fell everywhere

Bai Qiwei doubted that Jun Wuhen had planned everything. And he presumed that Jun Wuhen must have chosen the candidate. The aim of Jun Wuhen summoning Bai Qiwei to the palace and telling him the information was to prepare him for the court so that he would behave as Jun Wuhen expected when he brought up this topic.
For as the head of courtiers in the court, Bai Qiwei’s words were persuasive.
Jun Wuhen smiled lightly, with heavy gloom in his eyes.
“The eldest son of Marquis Deyuan is a perfect candidate. Though he is cynical in appearance, I can tell that he is ambitious. If his behavior satisfies me this time, I will put him in an important position in the future.” Jun Wuhen said in a tone that he was very interested in his own idea.
Bai Qiwei’s heart beat hardly on Jun Wuhen’s words, and he gradually figured out Jun Wuhen’s plan.
“Emperor…Are you going to…?” Bai Qiwei asked scrupulously.
“Well…Prime Minister Bai, only you and I know this, I don’t hope a third person knows about this. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you.” Jun Wuhen smiled insidiously.
Jun Wuhen’s words were a joke as well as a threat, which made Bai Qiwei unexpectedly calm and Bai Qiwei was finally clear about Jun Wuhen’s conspiracy.
“Emperor, could I ask you a favor? In the past many years, I haven’t asked any favor. But I hope Emperor could do me a favor this time.” Bai Qiwei knelt on the ground in a sudden and said to Jun Wuhen seriously.
Apparently Jun Wuhen didn’t expect Bai Qiwei would act like this. He looked at Bai Qiwei and frowned.
“You say.” Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei coldly and said indifferently.
Bai Qiwei was a little uneasy after hearing Jun Wuhen’s answer, but he still uttered his requirement, “I beg Emperor to spare my daughter’s life.”
Jun Wuhen obviously didn’t expect Bai Qiwei would make such a requirement, and he was a little bit surprised, and said with interest, “According to my knowledge, you hate Bai Aoxue very much, don’t you? You have always believed that Bai Aoxue brought insult to your family, haven’t you? I just help you get rid of her.”
Bai Qiwei froze on Jun Wuhen’s words and smiled bitterly, “I used to be so ignorant that I lived in lies for so many years. Now I just realize that Aoxue is my only relative in this world. I have already let Aoxue and her mother down. I cannot bear to lose the last offspring.”
Jun Wuhen’s eyes turned darker on Bai Qiwei’s words. But he didn’t care about Bai Qiwei’s request. Bai Qiwei was fooled, and there would be no heir or heiress in Bai family if she was killed.
“Well…I didn’t find you were such a person who valued relationship so much. She is your daughter after all. How could you use her to strengthen your position, right?” Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei sarcastically.
Bai Qiwei froze on Jun Wuhen’s words. A guilty conscience showed through his eyes.
“You are right, Emperor. Aoxue is my only relative in this world. And I really don’t want to lose her. I beg you to spare her life.” Bai Qiwei said anxiously.
Jun Wuhen nodded to pretend to agree with Bai Qiwei, “Don’t worry. Aoxue is on my side. And I also like Aoxue. I will not abandon Aoxue like this.”
Bai Qiwei felt a surge of wild joy but he tried his best to be calm and pretended to be happy, “Thank you, your majesty. I appreciate it on behalf of Aoxue. And Aoxue will serve you loyally in the future.”
Jun Wuhen laughed indifferently. It was true that he couldn’t bear to kill Bai Aoxue right now. Although Bai Aoxue had married Jun Yeyan for such a long time, her attractive appearance and her proud personality were enough to rouse a desire of having her in every single man’s heart.
And Jun Wuhen was no exception. He had no alternative but to marry Bai Aoxue to Jun Yeyan. When he got rid of Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue would belong to him in the end. Thinking of the beautiful but indifferent face and her satisfied groan of sexual climax when he was on top of Bai Aoxue, Jun Wuhen felt a restless sexual desire in his heart.
He felt he couldn’t wait any longer to have Bai Aoxue.
On the other hand, Bai Aoxue had no idea that Jun Wuhen’s picturing making love with her. If she learned about that, she might cut Jun Wuhen into pieces.
“We’ll see. And I really look forward to whole-heartedly serving of Aoxue!” Jun Wuhen looked at Bai Qiwei and said slowly. He didn’t miss the surprise in Bai Qiwei’s eyes.
Jun Wuhen looked down upon Bai Qiwei’s filthy strategy, but thinking of Bai Aoxue’s indifferent facial complexion and her whole-heartedly serving, Jun Wuhen felt delighted and joyful.
“Thank you very much, Emperor.” Bai Qiwei kowtowed to thank Jun Wuhen. And in his eyes were full of joy instead of weariness.
He must have pictured a happy life in the future.
“All right, stand up, Prime Minister Bai. You go to remind Marquis Deyuan and other officials. Make sure that they know this in advance. Tomorrow morning, I want to know the opinions of officials.” Jun Wuhen wouldn’t expose any more information to Bai Qiwei.
Bai Qiwei knew clearly that he had achieved his aim, and there was no meaning to stay there, so he just saluted and got out of the imperial study.
In his mind, Bai Qiwei had already planned how to expose this information to Marquis Deyuan.
He also relaxed a little. He begged Jun Wuhen so hardly just now that he worried Jun Wuhen would figure out his real aim. Now he didn’t worry at all even if Jun Wuhen had figured out his real aim.
It was sure that Jun Wuhen was longing for Bai Aoxue. So Bai Qiwei didn’t have to fear to expose his aim. After all, he would give Bai Aoxue to Jun Wuhen in the end.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiwei laughed insidiously. He had thought there was no chance for his daughter to become queen, but now, everything was not decided yet and there was still a chance for Bai Aoxue to become queen.
Bai Qiwei now had thrown away all the sorrows he held in front of Jun Wuhen, and he was not ashamed of plotting against his own daughter.
Bai Aoxue was his daughter, so she must make contribution to Bai family. Right now, it was a good opportunity for her to make contribution to Bai family because the Emperor was fond of her.
Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan left the palace. With Zhao leading the way, they came to the place where Helian Cangyue was buried.
“Princess, this place was chosen by Mo Li and Mo Shang. Every March, there will be a lot of beautiful peach flowers here. Mo Li and Mo Shang said that Helian Cangyue must like this place.” Zhao said slowly to Bai Aoxue who was standing beside him, enjoying the beautiful flowers from peach trees which were floating in the air.
Bai Aoxue also enjoyed the scenery in front of her. She also appreciated what Mo Li and Mo Shang did to Helian Cangyue.
This was a peach tree wood out of the city. It was quiet here, and people seldom came here. The peach trees were blossoming brilliantly now.
Bai Aoxue came to the tomb of Helian Cangyue and toasted a cup of wine at first.
“I didn’t expect to meet you in such a short period of several days. This time, I don’t bring you Qi Tiance, but I find your little brother.” Bai Aoxue said slowly.
She paused for a while, and her throat seemed to be jammed, “This time…I let you unite with your little brother. Cangsheng is here to accompany you. You will not feel lonely. There are mountains, waters, blossoms and Cangsheng here with you.”
Several men in black had already dug a grave. Jun Yeyan had already ordered his men to send a coffin here.
Bai Aoxue found that Cangsheng had been changed with a new outfit. Right now he was sleeping soundly in the coffin.
There was still a smile like a breeze on his face. And Bai Aoxue’s eyes were wet.
But this time, she stubbornly held back her tears.
She was supposed to smile to send him away. He was finally relieved. He could unite with his family. She should be happy for him.
Bai Aoxue’s fists clenched tightly when she watched the coffin being put into the hole.
All of a sudden, her fists were wrapped by Jun Yeyan’s warm hands. Bai Aoxue turned her head and saw Jun Yeyan standing by her side. She felt easy because she knew that although Jun Yeyan kept silent, he gave her much braveness.
“Farewell, Cangsheng. I once didn’t believe next life. But now I believe that we will meet in our next lives, and we will be intimate friends then!” Bai Aoxue squatted down and carried earth with both her hands and threw it on Cangsheng’s coffin.
Bai Aoxue scooped a double handful of earth one after another with her lily-white hands.
Nobody could understand why she treated Cangsheng like this, or in others’ opinion, she just pretended to be sad for Cangsheng’s death. But Bai Aoxue still wanted to do something for Cangsheng.
Jun Yeyan and others stood behind Bai Aoxue, looking at her stubborn and thin figure.
“Cangsheng is my first friend, and the first intimate friend. He is the first person who is so honest and sincere to me. And I don’t think you can understand my feeling, for you all have intimate friends. But for me, this is precious and I cherish it. For my friend, even to the end of life, I will accompany without any withdrawal.”
Everyone was absorbed in thought, and at this moment, there came Bai Aoxue’s clear voice, with elegance and stubbornness, which belonged to Bai Aoxue uniquely.
Stubbornness, indifference and insistence were her unique personalities.
Everyone fell into deep thought on Bai Aoxue’s words. The confusion in their eyes faded, and a kind of unspeakable respect for Bai Aoxue rose in their heart.
Liushuang usually behaved cynically, but he pondered over Bai Aoxue’s words.
“Cangsheng…you are the still water that runs deep, and the song that accompanies the reed-pipe wind instrument. I recall you were a teenager who came while singing songs the first time we met. You were just like a breeze that blew over. It is enough for me to just remember our first meeting. So you will never be old in my memory.” Bai Aoxue curled her lips, and raised her hand to toast Cangsheng.
Then, she raised her head and drank the full cup of wine. Her neck, raised straight and high, which was lethally weak but bewitched, was of stream line and unspeakable beauty.
Jun Yeyan and others stepped forward, and joined Bai Aoxue to toast Cangsheng.
Bai Aoxue stood up, and Jun Yeyan held her. All of a sudden, light breeze blew and blossoms on peach trees floated in the air.
And time seemed to stop at the moment. And the scenery pictured an extremely magnificent painting.
There was more tenderness and softness in her eye sight instead of ruthlessness and cruelty. Jun Yeyan looked at her, with ardent love in his eyes. He could not pay attention to other people except Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue raised her hand to catch a flying flower, and said, “Petals of peach blossoms float in the wind and fall everywhere. Wish the dead ones don’t forget the way to home.”
Cangsheng, please remember there is always a light kept bright for you, no matter when. And your home is where the light is.
