"Hey? Father, look, it looks like my second and third brothers."

Helian Si and Helian Nie were sitting in the carriage. Helian Si had been bored for a long time.

Peeking out from behind the carriage curtain, they saw Helian Ci and Helian You riding towards them.

Helian Nie didn't raise his eyes, only gave a faint "hmm," and continued flipping through the books. Helian Si pursed his lips.

Helian Ci and Helian You had already ridden their horses to the emperor's carriage, and they met face-to-face with Helian Si, who had poked his head out.

Seeing that Helian Si was unharmed, the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Then, noticing the mark still on Helian Si's forehead, they paused for a moment in surprise.

There were no other emotions left. After all, they had come to accept the fact that their younger sister was a demon.

"Little coward."

"Royal sister."

The two called out simultaneously. Helian Si smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkling, and responded. Since her brothers weren't asking, she wouldn't bring it up for now.

After she brainwashes the people in this interface, she can explain it to her brothers.

The mighty army arrived at the gates of the capital. To reassure the officials and the crowds of onlookers, Helian Nie alighted from his carriage.

Upon seeing the emperor, clad in imperial armor and completely unharmed, everyone was finally relieved, tears welling in their eyes.

The assembled officials and a vast crowd of onlookers knelt and bowed before Helian Nie.

"Welcome back in triumph, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

The shouts came three times in succession, each one louder than the last, so deafening that Helian Si, hiding inside the carriage, silently covered his ears.

The deafness is real, and the tears welling up are also real. Waaah, Father Emperor's grand ambition of unifying the world is complete!

Oh my gosh, my son is so accomplished! As his mother, she is so incredibly proud and gratified!

No need for formalities.

Helian Nie's voice was sharp, deep, and extremely authoritative, reaching the ears of everyone present. As the crowd rose, Helian Nie's long, narrow, peach-blossom eyes...

Snowflakes fell on the officials and courtiers led by Wenren Yu at the city gate. As the heavy snow fell, Wenren Yu looked at Helian Nie with teary eyes.

The prime minister, who also prided himself on being dashing and debonair, was practically on the verge of wiping away tears.

The Emperor has returned safely. He has followed the Emperor for many years, and the grand ambition of unifying the Northern Yin has been accomplished. His life is complete!

"Thanks a lot."

Helian Nie stood in front of Wenren Yu, reached out and patted Wenren Yu on the shoulder. His handsome face, with its narrow peach blossom eyes, looked at Wenren Yu and his thin lips parted slightly.

Wenren Yu smiled, flicked his robe, and solemnly bowed to Helian Nie. As he straightened up, his handsome face, like that of a painter, was strikingly beautiful, with a beauty mark at the corner of his eye. He slowly spoke...

"I will follow Your Majesty without regret in this life, and I will devote myself to the cause until my dying breath."

In reality, the Prime Minister was thinking: "Waaaaah, it's just two noodles crying in the wind! The Emperor told me I've worked hard, the Emperor himself told me I've worked hard!!"

Stop looking, everyone, cry for me! Cry for me!!

Although Helian Si was inside the carriage, she could still see clearly what was happening outside. She was chewing on a candied fruit.

Seeing this touching scene of loyalty between the emperor and his minister unfolding beneath the city gate outside the carriage, well, sorry, forgive her for seeing everything through a BL lens now.

Upon returning to the palace, the first thing Helian Si did was to pull aside the two Huang Zhongs and explain the whole story to Helian Ci and Helian You.

After listening, the brothers Helian Ci and Helian You exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions.

After all, her former imperial sister had suddenly become his... well, it was really...
