C345 The Secret of Exchange

The only person in the palace that could make her depend on was the emperor. If she had killed someone else, even if it was unreasonable, with the love and love of Helian Yuan Chen, it was possible that he would take care of her as if she wasn't there. However, the person she had killed was her adulterer, and the person she wanted to hide the most was Helian Yuan Chen.

Right now, she was thinking that Empress Xu wanted to silence her by killing her and then kill Xu Jingzi. She had completely broken off all ties with Empress Xu, and the second person she wanted to hide from was Empress Xu.

Helian Meng was also someone she could rely on. However, Mrs Liu's words made her uncertain. Moreover, how could she explain who that man was? It wasn't important if he looked down on her, as he absolutely couldn't let him misunderstand that the person who died was his birth father, and his background was something that couldn't be said for him. Once he found out that he was just a baby whose origin was unknown and his birth mother was killed and carried back to the palace, then the person he wanted to kill would probably be left Liangshan.

She couldn't even reveal the slightest bit of his own daughter, Helian Peng. Other than Helian Yu, how could she possibly have someone who could seek help from her?

She had no choice but to find someone to dispose of the body before dawn.

Indeed, after sitting in the East Palace for less than half an hour, they had heard the legend of Imperial Concubine Zuo's visit.

Helian Yu slowly asked someone to pour the tea for her, but from beginning to end, no one was willing to bring her in.

"Ai ai …" Imperial Concubine Zuo, this is the Eastern Palace, you can't just barge in! "

"Scram!" I want to see the crown prince, do you dare to stop me? "

"This servant doesn't dare, but concubine is not allowed to get too close with an adult prince. These are palace rules …"

Helian Xiufeng had just said those words a moment ago, blocking off Zuo Lian's words so that he couldn't speak. Gritting her teeth, she didn't bother maintaining her noble bearing and instead raised her foot to kick him. "Scram!"

"What is this? Hurry up and invite the imperial concubine in. " Helian Yu uttered from afar. His figure could not be seen clearly in the half-light of the hall.

Zuo Lian rushed into the hall, and the door creaked shut behind him.

In the spacious Guest Hall, only two candlesticks that were not bright were lit in the corner. Helian Yu seemed to deliberately create such an atmosphere, causing the pressure in her heart to increase and the fear to increase.

"Imperial Concubine Zuo, please take a seat." Helian Yu's cold and ruthless expression seemed softer and more polite than usual.

Zuo Lian, on the other hand, was standing. He seemed to be mulling over something and didn't utter a word for a long time.

Helian Yu then raised his eyes to look at the copper hourglass in the lower hall. "If Imperial Consort Zuo still doesn't speak, the sun will soon rise after the fifth fragment of the night. When you leave the Eastern Palace, this rumor will be a bit unclear."

Zuo Lian was shocked. He didn't have time to react. Sweat began to roll down his neck as he said, "I beg the crown prince to help me. I killed someone at the Yunzhi Temple. No matter what, I have to cover it up …"

Helian Yu frowned. "This … Your life is in danger, so I can't agree to your request so easily. However, it was still quite strange. Was there a need for the Imperial Concubine to be so shocked when she killed someone? If he deserves to die, then my royal father will take charge on your behalf. If he doesn't, then you should ask my royal father to cover it up for you.

"That person is Uncle Guo, the younger brother of Empress Xu. He is the head of the Military Department, Xu Jingzi!"

"..." Why would Professor Xu appear in the Royal Mountain? And in the middle of the night? Could it be … You can't sleep in the middle of the night, so you want to burn some incense and pay respects to Buddha at the Cloud Realm Temple? "

Zuo Lian choked on his casual ridicule and started to cry. She steeled her heart and said: "Since I'm here to request the Crown Prince, I naturally have a secret to exchange with you. My secret is of no harm to the crown prince. It's fine if you don't want to tell him, but I'm afraid you don't even know about the crown prince's secret! "

Helian Yu was startled. He had set up a trap for his to fall into his trap, so he had naturally calculated that she would have no other way out. He would inevitably come to him for help. He had not expected her to have another trump card.

Seeing the glint in her eyes, Helian Yu knew that the secret she wanted to talk about was definitely not the life of Helian Lie and Helian Meng.

"What secrets does this palace have? Do you need Imperial Concubine to tell me?"

"Indeed, when I first entered the palace, it was too late for me. The crown prince had just begun to understand human affairs, so he must have thought that I could know about it, and you should know that you were recognized as the king not long after you were born. Your status is unshakable, why would you think that Bei Chu would fail you?"

Unshakable, Helian Yu smiled coldly in his heart. If not for the appearance of the Helian divine ability, he would still be as ignorant as before. He was afraid that one day, he might fall into the trap of Empress Xu and this woman.

"However, when the crown prince doesn't understand human nature, there are always things that you don't know." Zuo Lian observed the situation and realized Helian Yu was still as still as a mountain. He was slightly disappointed, but he still continued to speak.

"After Imperial Concubine Yu gave birth to the crown prince, she fell ill and died young. Has the crown prince never thought about the reason?"

"My mufei is weak, and I'm a sickbed after childbirth. What else could there be?" Helian Yu's heart had already started to pound against his chest. He tried his best to look calm and indifferent.

Zuo Lian scoffed coldly, "Has the crown prince heard of Frostbite Powder?"

As expected, it was no different from what Jing Nan said. Helian Yu slowly nodded.

"At that time, the Frostbite was brought in from the Southern Moon, and it was rumored that it not only gave one the pleasure of floating in the air, but also helped to maintain one's appearance and maintain one's youthfulness. In the later stages of the pregnancy, the emperor began to treat her coldly because she was ill and unable to sleep. Her heart was anxious as she began to take the Frigid Eating Powder immediately after the birth and because she wanted to recover her health, she took an excessive amount. "The Frigid Eclipse Powder contains trace toxic substances. If consumed in large quantities for a long time, it will cause people to be poisoned."

"I have never heard of the theory that cold food can cause death."

"That's right, the content of mercury and cinnabar in the Frigid Eating Powder is not high, causing one to die for a long time. Even if she consumed a large amount of it, she would not die in a few months." That's right, the content of mercury and cinnabar in the Frigid Eating Powder are not high, causing one to die for a long time.

Helian Yu could no longer restrain himself and his face slightly changed. Even though he had never been with his birth mother and felt that he did not have any feelings for her, it was difficult to sever all ties of blood. From the moment he had first seen her in the illusion world, he had already felt the warmth of that beautiful woman's heart when he heard that she was not only tricked into eating the Frigid Food Powder, but had also died due to poison.

"This person is Empress Xu! That day, the empress dowager rarely visited her, and seeing that she was so ill and was eating something cold, she scolded her. Empress Xu added oil to the fire, saying that she had been sick for a long time because of her craving for cold food, and Imperial Concubine Yu did not dare to reveal that she had taken in cold food to preserve her appearance. She ate a bowl of hot food right in front of the empress dowager, causing her to suffer greatly after she left and die from poison! "

Helian Yu's five fingers, which were under his sleeve, opened wide as they trembled uncontrollably. Then, he slowly clenched his fists tightly as a bloody light flashed through his eyes.
