Chapter 197
Everyone obeyed and followed Wushang out of the Forest of Death.
He looked at the pitch-black night, wiped the sweat off his forehead, sighed, and activated his internal energy. Lifting his foot slightly, he leapt up from the corner of the wall, crossed the city wall, and successfully entered the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, in the imperial study, the luminous pearl illuminated the entire room. Helian Yu Chen quietly snuck under the window of the imperial study and knocked on the window. ” At this time, Helian Honglie was in the midst of reviewing the imperial reports when he heard a sound outside his window. He coldly ordered the waiting Eunuch Qin to go out and take a look.Eunuch Qin bent his waist as he held the memorabilia in his arms. Upon hearing Helian Honglie’s words, he hurriedly walked over. He opened the window and saw that there was no one outside. He turned around and said to Helian Honglie:“Your Majesty, it is already late at night. I’m afraid you are tired, since there is no one outside. Why don’t you rest for a while? “Esteemed Empress just returned the favor, saying that she had prepared a midnight snack for you. Please take it to Chang Ning Palace.”Helian Honglie rubbed the space between his brows. Because of Mo Xie’s matter these two days, he had been too distracted to even have the mood to taste the midnight snack. ‘This Queen has been bothering him these past two days … ‘
Looking at the memorial in his hand, he frowned, not knowing if Mo Li had found it yet. Thinking about Mu Ziyan who was still recuperating at the Qing She Palace, she thought to herself, “This Xiang Fei is simply lawless! “He actually dares to take someone under my nose and send them into the Forest of Death.”If something were to happen to him, based on his temperament, his days wouldn’t be too good! Just the thought of it gave him a headache.
Helian Honglie waved a hand at Eunuch Qin, signaling him to withdraw. When he was the only person left in the study room, a person suddenly appeared in front of him. Helian Honglie was truly shocked. He had given Helian Yu Chen a cold glare!“I knew it was you. You are just playing tricks in the middle of the night. What is it? Speak!”
Helian Yu sat in front of Helian Honglie and played with the Imperial Jade Seal on the table. He cast a sidelong glance at Helian Honglie’s gloomy expression and said with a smile:“Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour?” You don’t need to attend tomorrow morning? ”Helian Honglie raised his eyes and glared at Helian Yu Chen. “There’s no need for Royal Brother to worry about this matter! “It’s late at night, you should go back to sleep.”Helian Yu Chen sighed and said, “Sigh! The old man wanted to rest as soon as possible, but the child had not been found, and Yi’er was frantically searching for him. “Say, how did you let Mu Ziyan kidnap him from right under your nose?”
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have ordered his men to lock Mo Xiang in the dungeon. At that time, he had only done such a ridiculous thing in a moment of anger after seeing that Consort Xiang had almost been killed.
Seeing Helian Yu Chen looking at him, Helian Honglie opened his mouth and said, “Things have already come to this point. We have already sent Yu’er to bring him to the Forest of Death. I only hope that the child is fine. ”
“Have you been to Consort Xiang’s place?”Suddenly, Helian Yu Chen asked. Helian Honglie raised his eyes. His eyes flickered for a moment before he shook his head. “No.”
How could Helian Yu Chen believe it? Although he wasn’t Helian Honglie’s blood related, he had been Helian Honglie’s royal brother for so many years. How could he not understand Helian Honglie’s personality?
Mu Ziyan was the woman Helian Honglie loved the most back then. In order to obtain her, he had paid any price. Now, even though Mu Ziyan had lived in the Cold Palace, she was still Helian Honglie’s sore spot.
Otherwise, how could Helian Honglie, because of her words, disregard Helian Yi’s authority and even disregard his imperial throne, and directly imprison Mo Xiao in a prison cell? How could he have not gone to the Palace of Qing He to question Mu Ziyan’s whereabouts?He harrumphed coldly in his heart. When he thought of how Mo Xie had gone to the Tong Li Country, Helian Yu Chen was not happy. If not for this girl being sensible and worried about the conflict between Helian Yi and his mother, why would she suggest going to the Li Kingdom?For some reason, these two days, Helian Yu Chen’s heart had always been in pain and his eyes were wide open. He always wanted to stay by her side as if he was taking care of his own daughter, protecting her and loving her so that she wouldn’t suffer any grievances. Seeing that she had been wronged, his heart could not be at peace, could not accept it.Coldly reminding Helian Honglie: “This old man should have reminded you already, that Consort Xiang has gone too far this time! Not to mention General Mo, even Yi’er, how should he explain it? Have you thought about it? ”
Helian Honglie was startled. He opened his mouth to reply, “She is Yi’er’s mufei!”
When Helian Yu heard Helian Honglie’s words, he felt that it was extremely laughable. Hahaha! Helian Honglie, do you think that just because she’s Yi’er’s mufei, she can grant a noble wangfei of the Prince’s Mansion to death? Do you think that Yi’er will forgive her for the love between mother and son? You shouldn’t have done that! ”
“What I do has nothing to do with you!” Helian Yu Chen, if there’s nothing else, I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of the harem.
He had only come here to find out Mu Ziyan’s current situation. Since Helian Honglie had the intention of protecting her, she was at least safe for now.When He Lianyi and Mo Huan went to the Tong Li Country, he was relieved. When they returned, He Lianyi would have recovered most of his physical condition. Naturally, he knew what to do with Mu Ziyan.
He glanced at Helian Honglie for a moment, but didn’t say anything. He turned around and quickly disappeared from the imperial study.
Not long after Helian Yu Chen left, Eunuch Qin’s voice came from outside the door.“Your servant greets the empress!”
Queen Wei Changning’s voice sounded, full of fatigue, “Exempt! Your Majesty is still inside? ”Without waiting for Eunuch Qin to speak, the door to the imperial study was suddenly opened. Wei Changning was wearing a vermillion red cloak as she stared fixedly at Helian Honglie.
“Your majesty, it’s already late, chenqie has prepared some snacks for you.”As he spoke, Wei Changning received the tray that the maidservant carried behind him.
Helian Honglie turned his body to the side and stood at the side, giving Wei Changning a spot to signal for her to enter.A happy smile finally appeared on Wei Changning’s face as she carried the snacks inside.
Eunuch Qin shut the door for them and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. When he saw the angered look on the emperor’s face when he opened the door, he thought the empress had disturbed the emperor. It seemed that he was overthinking things. Eunuch Qin was finally relieved and waited quietly outside the door.Speaking of which, ever since General Mo’s third branch, Li Rong, was ignored, the Residence of General Mo had become a lot more peaceful.General Mo always shut himself up in his study. Other than eating three meals a day without leaving the house, the things that Flower Orchid did also received its retribution.
Since General Mo left, the lively scene from a few days ago had disappeared.
