The two men sat on one side and chatted while Qi Yu and Bi Su sat on the other side.
Bi Su wanted to console Qi Yu, but she didn't know how. But Qi Yu started to speak first: "Didn't Helian Cheng want to capture me in the first place, why did she suddenly let us go?"
Bi Su said: It's all thanks to Luan Song. Before he left for Prince Jing’s Masion, he informed his colleagues in the Ministry of Justice that he suspected that someone with ulterior motives had infiltrated the Prince Jing’s Masion. He would first check if they did not come out within the ninth day, then ask their colleagues in the Ministry of Justice to head over to the Prince Jing’s Masion to inquire about the matter. Presumably, Helian Cheng didn't want others to know that the Prince Qi is in his residence, so he didn't want to alarm the Ministry of Justice, hence he let us go.
So it was because of Luan Song? Qi Yu was a little disappointed. Just a moment ago, she was wondering if it was Chu Yixuan who pleaded with Helian Cheng for mercy, and only then did Helian Cheng let them leave.
She forced a smile: "Thanks to Luan Song, he is a good guy, you have to thank him for me."
Bi Su's face reddened slightly.
Qi Yu waved her hand. I'm a little tired, so let me rest.
Alright, then you take a nap first. Bi Su was about to get up when she saw the scented sachet in Qi Yu's hands that was being held tightly, and immediately said, "This scented sachet …"
This scented sachet doesn't have poison, I lied to them. Qi Yu said.
Yes, she was betting on Helian Cheng believing that she had a bunch of poison in her hands. She believed that a cautious person like Helian Cheng would definitely not take this risk easily. As expected, it still played a role, delaying quite a bit of time. Only after Jun Zibi arrived did he manage to escape.
As she thought about Jun Zibi, Qi Yu opened her eyes and glanced at him. Coincidentally, he also shifted her gaze towards her.
Qi Yu closed his eyes in grief. The blood that flowed through Jun Zibi's body meant that he had been through many bloody battles and was completely exhausted. Chu Yixuan, how can you bear Jun Zibi and Bi Su's sincere hearts!
Also including Luan Song
In the Prince Jing’s Masion Great Hall, Helian Cheng poured tea and passed it to Chu Yixuan. He looked at Chu Yixuan and said thoughtfully: "At that time, I really could not see why Prince Qi would cooperate with me and advise me to surrender. What is the meaning of the words Prince Qi said to Princess Qi?" Now I think, could it be that Prince Qi's goal is to deal with me?
What did Sir Jing Wang say?
If the Dongluo Emperor knew that you were actually going to join hands with my Eastern Barbarian to execute our revenge plan, I'm afraid that it would be too late even if he hated you. If this were the case, even if I treated you as a person of quality, I'm afraid that it would still be of no use. So, is this the reason for Sir's disgrace?
Chu Yixuan lowered his eyes, and said indifferently, Lord Jing Wang is overthinking it. If it wasn't for my revenge, why would I need to hide a few people and escape to a foreign land? When I came to the Prince Jing’s Masion that day, I had already expressed my wish to have Sir Jing Wang's help in accomplishing a great deed. It was only because Sir Jing didn't believe me that he locked me in the stone house.
Helian Cheng frowned, that's right, you said you want my fourth brother to go out and help you take care of some important matters. However, will my fourth brother really help you carry out your great cause of revenge?
Of course. I delivered myself to the door and was willing to stay. This is my sincerity, how can Sir Jing Wang believe this?
Helian Cheng looked at Chu Yixuan for a long time, then said each word, "If Princess Qi stays here, I will trust you."
Chu Yixuan's expression froze for a moment, and then he asked: Tonight was supposed to be a great opportunity to keep Rou Zhi, why did Lord Jing let her go?
Because I don't want to make it too big. Helian Cheng said. I hope that the actions of the Princess Qi will be carried out in a low-profile manner, and it would be best if the news of the Princess Qi staying in the Prince Jing’s Masion will not be spread out.
Chu Yixuan was silent for a moment, then said: Alright. However, I still have to go back and think about how to lure her here.
Good! Helian Cheng slapped the table hard, using the power of Prince Qi!
Chu Yixuan slowly stood up and the Uncle Lin immediately came over to help him.
Helian Cheng called out to the door: Wu Zhou, clean up the west hall and let the Prince Qi stay there.
Yes, Your Highness.
Also, find a teacher to let His Highness see his body.
No need! My Prince doesn't need a doctor, but I have a medicinal house. If Prince Jing can help me ask for a few bottles of medicine, my Prince will be extremely grateful.
After Wu Zhou heard this, he looked towards Helian Cheng. "I don't know." Helian Cheng laughed, then agreed to let his butler take the lead.
Uncle Lin thanked him in a neither haughty nor humble manner, and supported Chu Yixuan to leave.
Seeing that Chu Yixuan had left, Wu Zhou then asked softly: "Prince, this Chu Yixuan seems to be quite sick. Is there really a use in keeping him?"
Helian Cheng said lightly: Don't worry, he definitely won't be willing to die like this before he takes revenge.
But if the words he said tonight were to spread out, his Royal Father would probably kill him already. Would he still agree to let us use him to come to the city?
That's why I want you to tell me that you must not leak out what happened tonight. As for whether he was useful or not, of course he was.
To attract the Princess Qi?
Cheng Wan has always been extremely guilty towards this daughter of her. If Xu Rouzhi can land in our hands, then she is not afraid of Cheng Wan not accepting our request.
But tonight, Chu Yixuan had already given up on his idea. Was there still a method to lure Xu Rouzhi over?
Helian Cheng silently clasped his hands together, and said: "If Chu Yixuan really wants revenge, I believe he will."
Wu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and laughed: "Wu Zhou believes what the Prince says without a doubt.
Helian Cheng laughed and asked: Has there been any movement at Kang City? Was Chu Yihan already on his way back?
Not yet, Your Highness. Chu Yihan was still at Kang City, and it was unknown if it was to wait for Chu Yixuan or not. Subordinate has already made arrangements, once Chu Yihan leaves, they would send people to save Crown’s Master.
Helian Cheng nodded. After the arrangements were made on the other side, it was about time for Lady Lin to depart!
Yes, this subordinate will arrange it immediately.
Is there any news of King Jama and Di Ying?
Wu Zhou lowered his head and said ashamedly: On the way back, there was no news from King Jie, no one found any trace of Di Ying, no one knew what happened.
The smile on Helian Cheng's face slowly disappeared, and was replaced with an ice-cold expression: Have you investigated the Uninjured City thoroughly?
Wu Zhou was shocked, and said uneasily: There's people inside the Uninjured City, I didn't notice anything strange.
Helian Cheng frowned, and said with a cold face: Find King Jie as soon as possible, I want to see him if he is alive, and if he is dead, I want to see his corpse!
Wu Zhou's expression turned cold, and replied: Yes, Your Highness!
In the Western Palace of the Prince Jing’s Masion, the wind was blowing strongly and the lanterns were quietly swaying in the wind.
Chu Yixuan was already lying down on the ground, dressed in clothes. His eyes were slightly closed and his face was as pale as a piece of paper.
The Duke Uncle Lin pinched Chu Yixuan's palm lightly. How did the Duke feel?
I'm fine. Chu Yixuan said.
Although he said that he was fine, Chu Yixuan's face changed again and again as if he was enduring the pain. His pale face flushed red and Uncle Lin was about to support him when suddenly, Chu Yixuan sat up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Uncle Lin hurriedly supported Chu Yixuan and looked at Chu Yixuan with a pained expression. He reached out his hand to cover Chu Yixuan's back, but Chu Yixuan grabbed onto his wrist and lightly waved his hand. Uncle, stop wasting your internal energy.
No, you need to
I don't need it, Uncle.
Chu Yixuan closed his eyes and composed himself, barely managing to stabilise his Qi, then said softly: Find a way, how do you want to see Gentle End, and bring her over. As soon as possible, I'm afraid there won't be enough time.
The Uncle Lin's eyes were slightly red. You'll be fine.
Don't worry. Chu Yixuan reluctantly nodded his head. Before I take revenge, I won't die.
Uncle Lin clenched his teeth. I will think of a way to bring the wangfei here as soon as possible.
Good. It's been hard on you. Chu Yixuan gasped for breath as he laid down once more with the support of the Uncle Lin.
In the resting hall, the guard reported the conversation between Chu Yixuan and the Uncle Lin that he had heard from the Western Palace. Helian Cheng frowned slightly and waved his hand lightly.
Xiao Suyan sat next to Helian Cheng: Would that really lure his wife out for revenge?
Helian Cheng glanced at Xiao Suyan, held her hand, and asked: What do you think about her?
Xiao Suyan sighed: I don't understand either! In this world, the hardest thing to understand was the human heart.
Helian Cheng laughed, lightly hugging Xiao Suyan's shoulder, and said: This kind of thing will never happen to you, no matter what happens, I will protect you.
Xiao Suyan laughed. However, the question that came out of her mouth was: What about Princess Zhuo Hua? Is Your Highness still worried about her?
Helian Cheng's face instantly stiffened. He let go of his hand with some displeasure. You're still eating her dried vinegar after so long?
Xiao Suyan felt wronged as she said, "Look, whenever Princess Zhuo Hua is mentioned, I am not happy." Could it be that the Prince still hadn't given her up?
Helian Cheng's expression turned cold: Since you know that I will not be happy to talk about her, why do you still continue to offend me?
Xiao Suyan's eyes immediately turned red, and said sorrowfully: I am only worried, what if the Duke meets him and gives up everything for her like King Jie, then what should I do?
Helian Cheng glanced at Xiao Suyan, his expression somewhat relaxed: "I already said, I won't."
Would it really not be possible? Xiao Suyan immediately raised her head and looked at Helian Cheng in anticipation.
Of course. Helian Cheng was sure.
Xiao Suyan stared at Helian Cheng for a long time before finally bursting into laughter. She hugged Helian Cheng's neck and snuggled into Helian Cheng's embrace as she spoke sweetly: If Your Highness had promised me this earlier, I would have been at ease by now and wouldn't have bothered Your Highness so much.
Helian Cheng caressed Xiao Suyan's shoulder and sighed: "You have followed this duke for more than ten years, and yet you don't understand this duke's heart. Should I be disappointed, or disappointed?
Xiao Suyan happily held Helian Cheng's face and kissed him, then said apologetically: Su Yan already knows, in my heart, there is only the River Mountain Union with Eastern Barbarian, the remaining small land belongs to Su Yan, Su Yan is already satisfied!
Helian Cheng's lips curved upwards, revealing a faint smile.
