"Ha ha ha ha……"
The people present were instantly amused by Su Renzhong's helpless and resigned expression.
Su Xuening also smiled.
In fact, Yun'an was much smarter than his father. To be honest, his father was not suited to be a ruler of a country. He was more suited to be a great general than an emperor.
If you send him to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he will be invincible and will certainly not show any mercy. But if you ask him to outwit and outmaneuver the ministers in the court, I doubt he could handle it.
Yun'an is different; today, Yun'an is still an unpolished gem.
As long as Great-Grandfather makes the right cut, Yun'an will surely become the beautiful jade he desires. Moreover, Mother and Xuanyuan Zhan are there to help with the cut.
It's estimated that Yun'an would have no choice but to become an outstanding emperor!
Therefore, Mother and Great-Grandfather's decision was correct!
After everyone finished laughing, Su Xuening picked up the letter again and asked in confusion, "Why do you think Helian Qin would come to tip us off?"
Duanmu Junyu also looked puzzled: "Didn't they say those three were coming to steal Xiaobao? Now that Helian Qin has tipped us off, what does that mean?"
Xuan Yuanzhan frowned and said, "Do you think this might also be part of their scheme? They must have some bigger conspiracy."
Xuan Yuanzhan's words made everyone fall into deep thought once again.
It's really hard to say; those three are not easy to guess what they're thinking!
Now that the three of them are completely desperate, they are capable of anything.
If they really have a bigger conspiracy waiting for them, then they need to be even more careful.
Su Renzhong was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Actually, Helian Qin is the simplest of the three. He might just be trying to tip us off!"
Duanmu Junyu suddenly realized something and looked at Su Xuening: "Because Ning'er saved him before, he is repaying the debt of gratitude, so he revealed this information to us?"
Su Xuening was stunned. She hadn't intentionally saved him; she just didn't want her great-grandfather to be sad, because he seemed unwilling for Helian Qin to be burned to death, which is why she stepped in to save him.
Su Yun'an frowned and said, "I think my great-grandfather must have said something to the three of them when he summoned them to the Longevity Palace this morning, which made Helian Qin have a change of heart and tip us off."
Su Xuening immediately became curious: "What did my great-grandfather say to them?"
Previously, Helian Qin was like a mad dog when facing them. What did his great-grandfather say that made him suddenly change so much, turning him directly from their opponent into their ally?
Su Yun'an shook his head: "When I arrived, they had already left. My great-grandfather didn't say much to me. I only heard from the servants of Changshou Palace that my great-grandfather had lost his temper with them again, and it seemed that he had scolded all three of them. I don't know exactly what he scolded them about."
Su Xuening frowned. If it was an insult, then this wasn't the first time her great-grandfather had insulted them. Why was Helian Qin so different this time?
Everyone was puzzled, and Su Renzhong was too lazy to guess anymore: "How about this, we can sneak into the Prince Heng's mansion tonight and ask him, or send someone to arrest him, that seems easier."
Su Renzhong's words were immediately met with unanimous approval from everyone; it had to be said, it was indeed a good idea.
Since we can't guess, let's be direct and ask!
Late at night, at the Prince Heng's residence.
Helian Qin, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly seemed to sense something and opened his eyes wide, only to have a sack placed over his head.
Helian Qin was completely terrified. He struggled desperately and tried to shout, but before he could, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and he passed out.
Seeing that Helian Qin had finally calmed down, Ye Feng carried the person and flew away.
A moment later, Helian Qin was brought into the East Palace and presented to Su Renzhong and the others.
The group looked at Helian Qin for a moment.
Su Renzhong looked up at Ye Feng: "How did you manage to knock him out?"
“He wanted to shout,” Su Renzhong explained casually.
"I have a way." Su Xuening took out a tube of ointment from her bosom and waved it at Helian Qin's nose. Sure enough, Helian Qin showed signs of waking up.
Helian Qin seemed to still be thinking about the Prince of Heng's residence. As soon as he opened his eyes, he shouted, "Which petty thief dares to plot against me!"
Helian Qin's loud shout caused everyone around him to immediately give him a wide berth.
Helian Qin suddenly sat up from the ground and, upon seeing that it was Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an, immediately flew into a rage: "It's you! I already tipped you off, how dare you still try to ambush me!"
These words made Helian Qin feel extremely wronged.
Helian Qin's words cleared up their doubts. Su Xuening asked curiously, "Was it really you who tipped us off?"
Facing Su Xuening, Helian Qin's old face flushed with embarrassment: "If it weren't for the fact that you're somewhat capable, do you think I'd bother with this kind of business?"
Su Xuening, Duanmu Junyu, and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange.
Does Helian Qin not seem so bad?
Su Renzhong pulled Helian Qin up from the ground and explained, "We didn't mean to hurt you. We just felt that there was something strange about you tipping us off, so we asked you to come and ask."
Helian Qin glared at him angrily: "Is this how you invite people? You almost beat me to death!"
"Ahem!" Xuan Yuanzhan coughed awkwardly, apologizing on Ye Feng's behalf: "The guards are not very careful, please don't mind."
Helian Qin glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan, and seeing that even the emperor of Eastern Chu had come out to apologize to him, he seemed to think it wouldn't be appropriate to be too dramatic: "Never mind, it's nothing serious."
"Grand Uncle, please sit down."
Su Yun'an pulled Helian Qin to sit down.
Helian Qin looked at him with surprise: "What did you call me?"
Su Yun'an blinked, puzzled. "Great-uncle? I didn't call you that wrong, did I?"
His grandfather was the eldest son of his great-grandfather, so none of these men should be older than his grandfather. Calling him great-uncle should be correct.
“That’s right.” Su Renzhong nodded seriously.
Helian Qin blushed instantly, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Strictly speaking, he was indeed this kid's great-uncle, but they had always been enemies, always bickering whenever they met, and he had never given him a kind look. So now, hearing him call him great-uncle, he was still quite uncomfortable.
Helian Qin gave Su Renzhong and Su Yun'an a serious look.
Helian Ci was, after all, his own nephew, and as for Helian Ci's son, he could be considered his own grand-nephew.
Being called "great-uncle" by them isn't a big deal.
"Ahem!" Helian Qin coughed lightly, looking at Su Renzhong and the others, and said, "What business do you have with me? Speak plainly!"
