C351 trapped Huangshan(3)

As expected, he knew everything. In other words, Imperial Concubine Zuo had put everything on the line and told him the truth? No, that woman still needed to use him. She obviously wouldn't say that she was not his mother, and would probably use him as a puppet, using Empress Xu's original plan to fabricate a lie, saying that he was a descendant of the Xu family.

Helian Yu wondered in his heart. What would Helian Meng do if he found out the truth? He might believe him, but he was even more unwilling to do so. Following that, he would definitely play it by ear and continue to succeed the throne as the prince. After that, he would deal with Empress Xu and Imperial Concubine Zuo … To him, his surname was Xu or something else, and what was important was his current fake identity.

Thinking this through, Helian Yu smiled faintly: "I'm afraid you only know one thing and not the other. "Imperial Concubine Zuo must have said that you were born out of wedlock with Xu Jingzi, and the empress has proved that. But do you think that's the whole truth?"

Helian Meng raised his eyebrows and laughed, "How can Big Brother Crown Prince think that I don't know everything about this matter? Not only do I know that my royal father is definitely hiding within the Cloud Realm Temple, that he has already sent people to dig three feet into the ground to find him, I also know that my birth father was not Xu Jingzi, and that my birth mother was killed by Empress Xu. "

Helian Yu raised his head in shock. He naturally wouldn't think that Empress Xu or Imperial Concubine Zuo had leaked this information to Helian Meng.

Helian Meng picked up a prayer mat beside him and sat down next to him. The medicinal properties within Helian Yu's body flared up and his body became powerless. Even if he was disgusted, it was difficult for him to even move his body. He could only glare at Helian Yu coldly.

Helian Meng said in a gentle voice, "Big Brother Crown Prince, actually, I knew about this earlier than all of you. I grew up by the empress's side. She always had a hypocritical and kind smile on her face, and she always treated me very well. However, when the mufei looked at me, her smile was always distant.

Do you remember when I was a kid, I always loved to play? Once, I learned a few lightness skills, and it just so happened that my mother's wife came to chat with my mother. The two of them always shut their doors and windows, and never let anyone get close to them. I climbed over the eaves in the distance and hung upside down at the rear window to listen to them.

At first, it was just to get close to my mother's wife. I wanted to know why she didn't like me, but in the end, she heard the shocking 'truth'. I presume that brother Crown Prince also knows about this truth now? "

Helian Yu calmly looked at him and did not speak.

Helian Meng suddenly approached and used his hand to brush away the messy hair on Helian Meng's face. His snow-white handsome face was filled with a feminine air. He stood very close to Helian Meng with a smile on the end of his eyes.

Helian Yu slowly furrowed his brows. No matter how he looked at it, his actions were very peculiar.

"Big Brother Crown Prince, although we are not related by blood, the Helian Family likes to be strong. This seems to be a custom. That's why Seventh Sister likes Northern Chu's arch-enemy on the battlefield. And there's only one person in my heart since I was young, and that's the crown prince's brother. "

Helian Yu's hair stood on end as he stared at Helian Yu's strange and extremely soft voice.

"Do you still remember those palace maids that I tortured to death? I'm afraid Brother Crown Prince has never noticed them. They are all despicable women who have offered up their love to you and sent you away in the dark. "There are very few palace maids in the Eastern Palace and you don't like women either. Yet, there are still those shameless women that try to get close to you …"

Helian Yu gradually understood what was wrong. His entire body was numb to the point where his skin was trembling. Finally, he shouted, "Helian Meng, are you sick? It's not that I don't like women that I don't like them. It's different from what you think! "

Helian Meng didn't think that it was strange. Instead, he leaned even closer and laughed even more devilishly: "Big Brother Crown Prince has already done so. Royal Father has mentioned countless times that I want to help you get married. Even the noble daughters of the ministers and court officials would try their best to get close to you and please you. The royal father and mother would also bestow many beauties to you, but they would never look you in the eye, Lian. "

"That's just because I don't think much of them."

"But, I thought that the ones whom Big Brother Crown Prince didn't like weren't only them, were all the women in the world.

Of course not. Helian Yu thought to himself, what he had seen before were nothing but superficial and ignorant women, including those who, like Empress Xu and Imperial Left Concubine, fought and fought with all their might for the sake of lovemaking and scheming; those who, like his mother, Imperial Consort Yu, were kind and simple but weak in disposition, only awakened at the last moment by being framed; the most ridiculous kind of women who, like Helian Peng, viewed themselves with the utmost self-importance for no reason at all, thinking that they were the masters of the world, were in fact stupid and venomous.

When he thought of Helian Peng, his heart suddenly ached. Although that girl was stupid and thought that she was in charge, she had actually been used by others. She had actually teamed up with that group of people and caused Gu Qingli's death.

Even after being drugged, his fingers still curled up uncontrollably. Hmph, cooperating? How could he possibly work together with her …

Helian Meng's laughter resounded in his ears. He clearly had no idea what Helian Yu was thinking. "Big Brother Crown Prince, do you know why I used such a method to force you to engage in close combat? I don't want to force you into a corner, but with your personality, even if you only have a sliver of hope, you still won't accept my suggestion. "Why, now that we are surrounded by enemies, are you still thinking of a way to turn a defeat into a victory?

Helian Yu came back to his senses and looked at him. "Helian Meng, there will be a day when you regret not killing me today."

Helian Meng laughed insolently yet frivolously. "I won't. Even if I die in your hands, wasn't that what I wanted?"

Helian Yu turned his face away in disgust, thinking that this kind of person, I really don't want to dirty my hands to do anything.

Suddenly, they heard a clamor coming from the backyard. It was mixed with crying, chanting, and cursing. Both of them shot their gazes over at the same time.

The Temple of Emperor had a total of three halls in front, three halls behind, and a third courtyard behind. The first was where the ordinary pilgrims would sleep, the second was where the monks slept, and the third was where the distinguished guests would sleep.

They were at the back of the temple, and even though the door was closed, flames could be vaguely seen high up through the window. Various sounds could be heard coming from the two courtyards in front of them; the Red Falcon Army was holding the monks captive.

"Helian Meng, what did you do?" Helian Yu was alarmed and furious. Helian Yuan Chen was still in the secret chamber dug out from under the meditation room. If a fire were to break out in the courtyard and burn for a long time, it was unknown whether it would affect the temporary fighting room that was being dug out.

Helian Meng, on the other hand, smirked, "Big Brother Crown Prince, why don't you guess why I set a fire in the backyard?"

"You …" Helian Yu said a single word before stopping. He knew that if he were to display an overly anxious expression and let Helian Meng see some clues, the situation would become even worse.

However, Helian Meng spoke slowly, "Ever since my mufei told me that Imperial Father had gone to visit my uncle — oh, it's Xu Jingzi. I felt that something is amiss."

The Emperor had actually heard of Imperial Concubine Zuo's origins in the Prime Minister's Estate. However, since the Empress had given her a different, grandiose identity, he was willing to allow her to do as she pleased. Whether it was as the adopted daughter of the House of Generals, or as Empress Xu, Helian Meng had to address Xu Jingzi as' uncle '. He was too used to calling him by his name and couldn't change his words.
