After Helian Xuan Yi ascended to the morning assembly, he saw Cheng Zi Yuan waiting for him outside the main hall.

Her blood-red clothes accentuated her fair skin, making her seem even colder. Her delicate features made her look breathtakingly beautiful, and the coldness between her eyebrows even more charming. Although she was just standing there quietly, her actions caused his heart to involuntarily tremble.

"Yuan, what's the matter?"

Feeling Helian Xuanyin's profound wings approaching her, she did not move. She only turned around and knelt down when he spoke.

"Cheng Zi Yuan greets the Emperor."

Cheng Zi Yuan was just a subordinate of the Black Wing Palace and didn't have any other status. What childhood sweethearts? Two little guesses? That had nothing to do with her. She was only here to protect his bodyguards.

"Yuan, you... I said, there's no need for this between us! "

Taking a step forward, he pulled Cheng Violet Garden up. Helian Xuan Yi did not even care about his status, and the little eunuch beside him had already tactfully left.

"Your majesty, Yuan'er has come to protect you and to serve as your guard. If you are willing to become the guard of Zi Yuan, then I will stay behind. If you are not willing, then leave."

Cheng Zi Yuan's words were extremely cold and detached. In this life, she was no longer that hitman who had no one to rely on anymore. However, since she had already agreed to marry into another's family, she would still do as she said.

With one look, Helian Xuan Yi knew that Cheng Violet Garden was serious, and he had long known of her ability. So what if she was able to stay by his side?

"Alright, Yuan'er, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will agree to anything you say."

Because of what happened before, Xuan Yi knew that the Violet Garden had always been angry at him. However, he didn't know that the current Cheng Zi Yuan was no longer the same Violet Garden from before.

However, the current Cheng Violet Garden was even more attractive to him. Whether it was her cold demeanor or her calm demeanor in the face of danger, both of them fiercely attracted him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

He disdained using power and such things on her body. If he really wanted to use power and influence to deal with her, as long as it was an imperial edict, she would have to obediently become his concubine, wouldn't she?

"Rise, Yuan. Here is your token. Don't work too hard. We have the ability to protect ourselves."

Although there was no lack of outstanding people around Helian Xuan Yi, he himself was also very powerful. It was just that there were very few things that could be done by him personally.

Cheng Ziyuan accepted the token and left. Since she came to the palace to be a guard, she needed to first survey the layout of the palace. An assassin definitely couldn't be ignorant of their surroundings.

In the middle was the emperor's sleeping quarters, and then on the left and right were the concubines' sleeping quarters, in front was the imperial court, and on the left was the imperial study, as well as the imperial garden next to the imperial palace.

These were all places that the Profound Wings of Helian had frequently visited.

Even though the current situation in the Northern Yue wasn't very clear, as long as she was by his side, he still felt that she was very kind.

"Yuan, I'm thirsty. Are you thirsty? Do you want Little Xuan to brew a cup of tea for you?"

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Profound Wings of Helian who were reviewing the imperial study started to chat with Cheng Zi Yuan, who was standing by her side. Cheng Zi Yuan was already dressed in the uniform of a imperial guard.

Seeing the previously imposing emperor in front of him suddenly turn somewhat scoundrelly, Cheng Zi Yuan didn't know how to describe the feelings in his heart.

"Your majesty, this humble subject isn't thirsty."

With that cold sentence, Cheng Zi Yuan stopped looking at Helian Profound Wings. This setback truly made Helian Profound Wings feel helpless.

"Little Xuan Zi, bring two cups of tea over here."

He had already used more than half of his Helian Profound Wings with patience. He had finally started to reveal the essence of a tyrant. Cheng Zi Yuan even muttered to himself a little. This was the overbearing nature of an overlord.

After the tea was served, Little Xuanzi handed Cheng Ziyuan a cup.

Only after watching Cheng Ziyuan drink up the wine did the Profound Wings of Helian begin to bend over to look at the imperial reports.

Cheng Ziyuan stood quietly at the side, watching him busy himself. She had always known that the more people who held a higher position, the more responsibility they would bear, and in the heart of a killer, the more expensive they would be. The man in front of her shouldered the responsibility of the entire country and was naturally even busier than before. Her mission was to protect her even an inch away from him. Thinking back to his one day journey, she couldn't help but feel tired for him.

In the morning, before five o'clock in the morning, they would get up and spend two hours in the morning assembly. After breakfast, they would begin to process their reports, and after that, there would be incessant reports from ministers on the situation at the border or in remote areas.

Sometimes, when one place was flooded and another place was in drought, it was easy to walk in and out of the wind and rain. Basically, there was not a single thing big or small in the State of Northern Yue that did not require the worry of Helian Xuan Wing.

"beloved official Chen, regarding the flood, you should first prepare the rations to ensure the lives of the commoners. Afterwards, you should lead the experienced people to resist the flood and not make things difficult for the commoners. If they are willing to move out, you should also take good care of them …"

Actually, there were many things that didn't need to be done by Helian Xuanyin herself, there wouldn't be a flood. As long as the local officials followed the procedures to save people from the flood, it would be fine to resist the flood.

"Yuan, I'm very tired. Help me massage my shoulders."

At some point in time, that Official Chen had already left the imperial study. Helian Xuanyi looked at Cheng Zi Yuan tiredly. Although she knew she shouldn't, Cheng Zi Yuan still walked up to her.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has something to say."

After thinking about it, Cheng Zi Yuan still decided to talk about the management of the country with Helian Xuan Yi. Although she repeatedly emphasized that this was not her mission, she still wanted to say it out loud when she saw how tired he was.

However, no one had replied to her words. As she glanced at Helian Profound Wings, she realized that he had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

He didn't know how to describe his feelings. Somehow, he felt a pain in his heart. This feeling was something that Cheng Zi Yuan had never felt before, but it was still so clear.

"Reporting to your majesty …"

Before Little Xuan Zi could finish his words, he was stopped by the look in Zi Yuan's eyes. Helian Xuanji, who was only sleeping lightly, had already been woken up.

"It's fine. Little Xuan Zi, go ahead."

Because he had fallen asleep, Helian's voice was a little hoarse. However, it became even more magnetic. He already looked like a beauty that would bring disaster upon all. His current appearance gave him an even more decadent beauty.

Little Xuan looked at Cheng Violet Garden and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

"Reporting to the higher ups …" Reporting to the Emperor … "Master Hou has something to report."

It was hard to be a person, so Little Xuan Zi went out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. This Cheng Yuan guard was really scary, he had clearly wanted to eat him just now.

"Your Lordship, the emperor is inviting you in."

As he finished speaking, Little Xuan Zi blankly stood at the door. If nothing happened in the future, he definitely wouldn't disturb the Emperor so easily.

Just now, Helian Xuanji was still in a deep sleep. Although he knew that the matter between him and the Violet Garden had yet to be resolved, the distance between the two of them had indeed closed by quite a bit. He was very satisfied with this point.

"This humble subject pays his respect to the Emperor."

Although the Emperor was close to the Cheng family, the Rites of Honor had never been omitted.

"Master Hou, no need to stand on ceremony. Someone, come and sit!"

The discussion between the two was still the same. As for the matter of Huifei's Yu party, the upheaval in the Northern State of Yue might seem to have come to an end now, but the really deep issues had yet to be resolved.

Cheng Ziyuan had never known what they were busy with. Although he had a keen sense for being an assassin, the tasks they were doing were clear, and she had never come in contact with the hidden waves in the imperial court. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost her life because of her companions.

"Master Hou, you don't have to be so polite. Regarding the matter of Hufei and the Party, we still need you to investigate secretly." Master Hou, you don't need to be so courteous, we still need to investigate secretly.

He had always been aware of Xi Li's insidious nature. Previously, Hui Ying had bewitched the late emperor, wanting to take control of Bei Yue directly. Even though he had already disrupted Xi Li's plans, Xi Li would definitely make other moves.

"Your Majesty, this subject is here to discuss this matter with you. In addition to Xili, we also need to be on guard against other countries, even the vassal states of the Northern Yue must be on guard. Xili will do his best, and as for the other countries, the Emperor also needs to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible."

In the eyes of other countries, the change of the Northern Yue regime was definitely a good opportunity to take down the domination and unification of the Northern Yue. However, the Xuan Yi would not just sit still and wait for death.

"We understand what you mean by beloved official. We have already begun to prepare for Blue Vault. Are there any clues since we heard what you said?"

Helian Xuan Yi was aware of Cheng Huai's caution. If nothing had happened, he would not have entered the palace in such a nervous manner, moreover, he had a target nation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are some clues, but there is no evidence. We are only guessing. However, the situation is very special, so this subject has to be careful."

If there really was evidence, then those people should be directly caught. It was because they didn't have any evidence that they came to warn Helian Xuan Yi. Of course, they also came to take a look at their own daughter.

Helian Xuan Yi knew the importance of this matter and immediately took care of it. He gave Lan Cang a few orders in succession. Only after seeing this did he feel at ease.
