The overall environment of Bell Star is better than that of the capital star, and there are more things to do in the yard.

Qiao You ran around in the yard chasing butterflies, and finally managed to catch them with the help of a net.

When Wei Yin and Ye Xin returned after receiving His Highness's orders, they saw Qiao You climbing a tree to catch birds.

"Young man, why are you climbing a tree? Are you trying to catch a bird?" Wayne asked loudly. "We can help you."

Qiao You kept making shushing gestures at Wayne, not knowing if the man was doing it on purpose or was genuinely stupid, but he just didn't understand his hint.

The next second, the second-floor window was opened, and Helian Jue came into view.

"Little fish."

Qiao You shuddered in fright and immediately retorted, "Brother, I didn't catch them! I was helping them repair their nest."

Helian Jue glanced at Qiao You, estimated the distance from the tree to the ground, thought for a moment, and decided not to be too strict with Xiao Yu, so he said, "Don't get hurt, be careful."

"Uh-huh!"

Helian Jue took another deep look at Qiao You before closing the window.

He's a well-behaved little fish in front of his older brother, but he has a temper too, you know?

He glared at Wayne, put the bird's nest back in place, and jumped down from the tree, landing steadily.

Ye Xin, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, asked, "Young sir, has General Bai Heng arrived yet?"

Qiao You held a twig in his hand. "Yes, they're in the study."

Ye Xin nodded to indicate that he understood. His Highness didn't need the two of them right now, so it was better for them to sit in the courtyard.

The conversation between Helian Jue and Bai Heng lasted for nearly four hours.

That evening, when Qiao You saw Bai Heng again, she felt that the melancholy in the man's eyes had dissipated considerably, and his conversation with his brother was much more normal and familiar.

The most important thing about coming to Bel Star has been taken care of. Qiao You sat on the bed and pondered, "Should we go back now?"

That's what I thought, and that's what I asked.

"We'll have to wait a few more days," Helian Jue replied. The time wasn't right yet; going back now would be more harmful than beneficial.

Everything is going smoothly on Lyra, which gives him the perfect opportunity to hide in the shadows, prepare everything, and wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.

The following day, Helian Jue and Bai Heng likely held a short meeting with Helian Cheng from a distance to clarify what happened back then.

Initially, Helian Cheng had no interest in the throne; he only wanted to lead troops into battle and be a general, regardless of who the next emperor was.

It was also during his time at military academy that he met Su Shu. The two fell in love and gradually reached the point of discussing marriage.

Just as their relationship was stabilizing, His Majesty, Helian Cheng's father, fell seriously ill and urgently summoned all the princes back to the palace.

After Helian Cheng was summoned back to the palace, the struggle over His Majesty had entered a heated phase.

Besides Helian Cheng, he also had two older brothers and three younger brothers, all of whom were capable of vying for the throne.

Bai Heng was the highest-ranking general in the empire at the time, and his opinions were of paramount importance. The five princes who wanted to vie for the throne tried various means to win Bai Heng's favor.

All their efforts came to nothing. Bai Heng was single-mindedly devoted to the empire and refused to listen to reason, which aroused dissatisfaction among the people. Also, because of his rigid actions, he offended many people.

In the short month-long struggle for the throne, all the misconduct of the five princes was exposed.

Helian Cheng always thought it was none of his business. His elder brother, younger brother, and father all knew that he had no interest in the throne. But gradually, it became clear that he was the only one suitable for the position.

At this time, Leidenhong approached him.

Helian Cheng was unwilling to place his bets on him, as the first two talks had fallen apart, and he did not want to be coerced.

The third time, Leidenhong set a trap in advance, making him addicted to drugs, and Helian, as the pride of the Helian family, had no choice but to comply.

At that time, the Leiden family was at the height of its power. Bai Heng unintentionally witnessed the whole thing, and his deputy secretly reported it to Leiden Hong.

Soon, Bai Heng was accused of many unforgivable crimes and exiled to a mining planet.

At the beginning of Helian Cheng's reign, Lai Denghong took the lead in all matters. The only thing he fought hard for was the position of Empress Su Shu, which led to the appointment of Empress Qingyue.

Afterwards, Helian Cheng gradually grew up and also wanted to find Bai Heng, but this person seemed to have disappeared throughout the entire empire.

Once everything from back then was laid bare and explained, Helian Jue gradually came to understand the hardships Helian Cheng had endured.

The misunderstanding between father and son cannot be resolved in a day or two, but at least for now, the Leiden family is the biggest problem facing them.

After finishing his conversation with Helian Cheng, Bai Heng went out alone.

"Jue'er, you..." Under the treatment of the spiritual spring water, Helian Cheng's spirits have improved a lot during this period, and he is now sitting by the bed in the bedroom.

Helian Jue interrupted in time, "Your Majesty, I have other matters to attend to."

After saying that, he hung up the call with Helian Cheng without any hesitation.

Although he knew that Helian Cheng had his own difficulties, he still spoke out for his mother.

Then what about the Empress Dowager? Why should she bear the blame for the Helian family's mistakes?

How innocent the Empress Dowager is!

Even after becoming empress, Helian Cheng still quickly took Leidenxin as his concubine.

Since Helian Jue could remember, although his mother never mentioned these things in front of him, he could see a trace of worry in her eyes.

Perhaps, what the Empress Dowager misses is still that pure and innocent affection she had during her school days.

Helian Jue snapped out of his thoughts and began to make arrangements for the next steps.

Qiao You knew that Helian Jue had been busy lately and had been entertaining himself these past few days. The villa on Bell Star was very large, with lawns and gardens in front and behind.

Since arriving on Bell Planet, the weather has never been bad, and the sunshine feels especially comfortable on the skin.
