C124

Helian Jue turned his head to look at her in the carriage and saw her excited expression. It seemed that she had been looking forward to returning to the capital since a long time ago.

In front of the city gate, the lone male guard ordered the guards to line up and welcome the triumphant return of General Yuwen's elite troops …

Yuwen Tu led his elite troops and returned to the city gate. Yuwen Tuo went forward to lead his father's horse, and Yuwen Tai was smiling from ear to ear. At the same time, Cen Xue who was in the carriage also saw Yuwen Tuo.

Cen Xue lowered her head in disappointment and returned to the carriage. Since he wasn't here, she didn't want to be too flamboyant. She silently sat inside the carriage, hoping that they wouldn't waste too much time entering the city.

"Greetings, prince …" Helian Jue also dismounted and walked in front of them. Dan Xiong and Yuwen Tuo immediately bowed.

"Please rise, Imperial Tutor. We are outside the palace, there is no need for this." Helian Jue helped him up.

"This is the wine bestowed upon you by the King, and I reward you generals with it. Rest well today, and tomorrow night, you will receive the good wine of the various generals in the palace!"

"Alright …" With Yuwen Tai's loud shout, the army began to move toward the city one after another.

Cen Xue sat in the carriage and saw Yuwen Tuo. Five years ago, he looked like this. Even though his appearance hadn't changed, his killing intent had been reduced by quite a bit.

The fifty thousand strong army returned to the drill grounds to call for troops, while Cen Xue bid farewell to Aunt Wang. She then followed Helian Yi and walked in the direction of the Royal Mansion. Looking at the familiar street, nothing seemed to have changed.

Prince Yu's Estate. This was the mansion that Helian Shan had bestowed upon Helian Jue!

Outside the door, the steward knew that the prince had returned today and had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw the prince's mount from afar, he immediately lit a firecracker, creating a lively scene.

Helian Jue stood rooted to the spot, looking at the butler's foolish actions. He shook his head helplessly, but just as he was shaking his head, he saw the coquettish and charming women outside the door and wondered how he could forget about them.

The three women were his concubines. Even though he had yet to make a consort, there were still a few concubines staying in the mansion. They looked towards the horse carriage with unease, wondering what would happen if Cen Xue found out.

After the firecrackers ended, Helian Jue continued to walk forward. The butler and a group of people immediately came up to greet him, surrounding his mount.

"Your Royal Highness, you're finally back." The butler led the horse, allowing Helian to dismount safely.

Helian Jue bowed his head and replied "En" without much thought. He turned around and walked towards the carriage. A few concubines were standing behind the butler as if they were transparent, not even sparing them a glance.

"Cen Xue, we're here. We can get off the carriage now." Helian Jue personally came to meet her, opened the curtain for her, and helped her down.

Cen Xue walked out of the carriage and got off with his help. When she and Helian Jue stood side by side, the butler exclaimed, "What a beautiful lady!"

When Helian Jue heard this, his face lit up with joy as he held Cen Xue's hand. It didn't matter if she was willing or not, in the eyes of the butler, their little flirtatious actions were obvious.

A few concubines lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. When Helian Jue and Cen Xue walked past them, one of the concubines couldn't help but glare at Cen Xue.

It wasn't as if Cen Xue had never experienced such a scene before. Bai Bingxuan was indeed a fierce character, and after looking at those girls just now, she shouldn't be as vicious as Bai Bingxuan or as strong as her backer.

Cen Xue didn't even put those girls in her eyes. Since she wasn't a man who came to rob them, and Helian Jue was her younger brother, she would always remember this relationship in her heart.

Helian Jue joyfully led her into his palace. He even arranged a room for her and arranged for her to stay in his courtyard. They lived in the room opposite him, so it was obvious that his meaning was clear.

"Cen Xue, this is your room. This king's room is just across from yours. You can come find me at any time!" Helian Jue pointed to a spot in the middle that was only separated by a small courtyard, and looked at her with a smile.

Did Cen Xue still not understand his thoughts? What he said last night was still engraved in her mind. Being his wangfei, this definitely couldn't be a matter!

"Thank you for your arrangements, Prince. This place is beautiful, and Cen Xue really likes it!" Cen Xue had a forced smile on her face. She would need his help during this period of time and even if she wanted to use him, she wouldn't be able to do anything. After all, he was her benefactor.

Soon after, Helian Jue asked the butler to lead a few maids and bring a box of fine clothes and jewelry to Cen Xue's room. Cen Xue did not take these things seriously, but her reaction was extremely attractive in Helian Jue's eyes.

No woman could resist these things, but Cen Xue, she disdained these vulgar things. It was indeed the woman he had taken a fancy to, just that she was different.

"Cen Xue, these clothes belong to you. Pick a set that you like and some of these jewelry. Come with me to the palace for the feast tomorrow." Helian Jue pointed at these items, his mind was still thinking about how beautiful Cen Xue would be if she could put them on.

Enter the palace for a banquet?

Cen Xue suddenly became excited. She turned around and glared at Helian Jue, "Are you saying that you want to bring me to the palace to attend the banquet?"

Joy hung on Helian Jue's face. It was rare to see her so excited. "Right, tomorrow night Brother Wang is welcoming General Yuwen and this king into the palace. So, how about Japan's King bringing you to the palace?"

"Good …" I've never been to the palace before, so I'm a bit nervous. If I make a fool of myself, what should I do? " Cen Xue purposely pretended to be afraid of strangers.

"It's fine, as long as you follow This King and don't leave This King's side, This King will protect you. Don't be afraid!" At this moment, Helian Jue seemed to be a hero saving a beauty as he took the initiative to hold Cen Xue's hand.

Cen Xue nodded her head with a smile. She must seize this opportunity, she must see Shi Jun!

However, if she was to enter the palace for a banquet with Helian Jue, she would definitely let the officials see her. However, if she was to enter the palace with Helian Jue, she would definitely let the officials see her.

If that were the case, Li wouldn't be in love with her, so she had to think of a way to follow him to the palace without having to see the officials or the civil and military officials.

Helian's determination was excellent. Cen Xue said that she wanted to rest in her room for a while and pick out some clothes for him to take care of his own business.

A few concubines were ignored by Helian Jue in a gorgeous manner, and when they saw that the housekeeper was busy preparing clothes and accessories for the woman, the anger in their hearts started to rise.

Helian Jue did not expect to see them in the garden. When the women saw that their prince was alone, they immediately flocked towards him. "Your Highness … "Prince …"

Helian Jue's brows locked together. He didn't have the time to deal with them a moment ago, but now was the right time. He saw the three of them running towards him at the same time.

"It's good that all of you are here. Now, go back to your rooms and pack your things. Take your luggage and leave the manor in two hours!" Helian Jue didn't give the slightest bit of friendship and kicked him out the moment he opened his mouth.

The women thought it was some kind of good thing, but they didn't expect that the prince was going to chase them away …

"Your highness, I will not leave. I will stay by your side for the rest of my life to serve Your highness …" A concubine wearing purplish-red clothes directly threw herself at Helian Jue's feet, her hands hugging his calves as she began to wail.

When the other two saw this, they were not willing to give up. One by one, they kneeled down, snot and tears flowing from their eyes …

"Your Highness …" "We won't leave, we have to stay and wait upon the prince …"

Helian Jue looked at these women and felt extremely disgusted in his heart. He kicked away the concubines hugging his legs and roared at them with his eagle-like black eyes, "You are just concubines raised in this prince's estate. In the past, I made you stay behind to serve this duke because there is no wangfei left in this prince's estate.

Ever since Helian Jue was young, he had been used to women fighting in his room. For Cen Xue's safety, he would definitely not let two women live in his backyard!

"Your Highness, we have served Your Highness for so many years, could it be that Your Highness is really kind enough to drive us out?" The woman had long since cried and wore makeup. She tightly held onto Helian Jue's robe with one hand, refusing to let go.

Helian Jue was trying to control his anger. Since they had already spoken, that was fine too. They just wanted some money. He wanted to give them …

"Everyone, go to the accounting room to collect five thousand silver taels. Then, immediately scram from This King's manor!" This was the last bit of tolerance for Helian Fu.

The few women saw that there was no hope and the crying became louder and louder. The servants finally dragged them away with much difficulty, allowing Helian Jue to have some peace and quiet!

Cen Xue did not sleep at all as she did not even want to go out for dinner. Helian Jue thought that she was overworked and brought the dishes to her room.

As for the three concubines, just as Helian Jue had thought, each of them went to the account room to get the silver before leaving. As the butler cleaned out the rooms of the three concubines, he discovered that all the valuable things in the room had been taken away by the three people.

Within the palace...

Queen Qianrong was very ill after that day in the royal study, and now she lies in bed every day with a dull expression and an indescribable feeling in her heart. The imperial physician has seen her, and even Dr. Keser has seen her. His medicine can only cure her body, but not her heart! "

"The king, the prime minister went to the palace again." The Azure Dragon had always sent people to spy on that old fellow. Upon receiving the news, it immediately entered Helian Lie's ears.

"This old brat sure runs quite diligently?" Helian Shan put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to the window.

Meng QianRong had recently fallen ill, and her father had come to the palace every day to visit her. Wasn't that a bit too diligent?

"Wang, should we go to the Phoenix Nest Palace to listen in on their conversation?" The green dragon acted on his own and followed closely behind him.
