Helian Jue was terrified inside, but outwardly he exuded a terrifyingly low-pressure aura.
He was like a beast trapped in an abyss, desperate and insane.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stared intently at the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince was so frightened that his legs went weak.
He really wanted to slap himself twice: Serves you right for being so cheeky, for speaking without thinking, for talking nonsense!
Why are you speaking such blunt truths?
Now look what's happened! They've really angered that eccentric and ruthless Helian Jue.
It's hard to say whether Xie Yuan has ambitions, and it's also uncertain whether she will gain status through her son.
However, as things stand, the Fourth Prince is quite certain that Helian Jue is very likely to lash out at him.
Uh, I hope Helian Jue won't choke me again.
Waaah, no!
That feeling of suffocation is truly terrifying.
The fourth prince instinctively tried to hide behind Princess Xu.
It's not that he's not loyal; he's using his wife as a shield.
Indeed, his wife is quite formidable.
The spiked club is quite powerful, isn't it?
Princess Xu: ...
Her eyes twitched; she was already used to her husband's cowardly behavior.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! By the way, is there any other good news from the Prince's residence?"
Her gaze fell on the other two paper tubes in Helian Jue's hand.
There were three messages sent by carrier pigeon, but Helian Jue only read one. There are still two left.
Regardless of whether the two paper tubes contained good or bad news, the priority was to divert Helian Jue's attention.
Princess Xu had a clear purpose, so she spoke quite frankly.
The fourth prince, hiding behind her, silently gave her a thumbs up: "Wow, my princess! You're so clever!"
Helian Jue's gaze remained fixed on the Fourth Prince.
When the Fourth Prince hid behind Princess Xu, Helian Jue's eyes involuntarily turned to Princess Xu.
Just then, Princess Xu spoke up again, and Helian Jue's sinister and ruthless aura subsided somewhat.
Although Princess Xu was a woman, she was extremely fierce.
In a one-on-one confrontation, Helian Jue might not be able to easily crush Princess Xu.
There is a very high probability that the two sides will be evenly matched!
Helian Jue still took his powerful opponent seriously.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the fear, anger, and other negative emotions surging in his chest.
The other two paper tubes did not have an "X" mark, so they were clearly not letters from Xie Yuan.
Helian Jue casually opened one of them, glanced at it, and immediately recognized the handwriting—Helian Chen!
Helian Chen's letter was probably also to report good news.
However, as Helian Jue's eyes darted around, he quickly finished reading the few lines of text.
Bang!
Helian Jue suddenly stood up, his movement so abrupt that it knocked over the table.
The solid wood table fell to the ground with a thud.
The fourth prince felt another shiver run down his spine.
Even Princess Xu couldn't help but feel nervous. "Could something have happened at the Prince's residence?"
Could it be that something is wrong with Sister Yuan?
Princess Xu is not the fourth prince, so she wouldn't use conspiracy theories to speculate about Xie Yuan.
Her only worry was that Xie Yuan was pregnant, and if anything went wrong, it would harm her.
However, Princess Xu found it difficult to say such "inauspicious" words.
She could only ask this vaguely.
"Ah Yuan is here! She came to Luozhou to take care of me despite everyone's objections!"
Helian Jue first muttered to himself.
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze passing through Princess Xu and heading straight for the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince shrank his neck. Wasn't Xie Yuan's arrival a good thing? Why was that madman Helian Jue glaring at me again?
He hid behind Princess Xu like an ostrich, not daring to meet Helian Jue's gaze.
Helian Jue took a few big steps, went around to the back of Princess Xu, grabbed the Fourth Prince's arm, and pulled him sharply in front of him.
The fourth prince was stunned. "No way, eldest brother, are you trying to kill me?"
Helian Jue didn't make a move; he stared intently at the Fourth Prince. "Helian Huang, did you hear that?"
The fourth prince blinked his innocent, adorable eyes: What did I just hear?
“When A-Yuan found out I was sick, she didn’t do anything like what you’re saying about ‘a mother gaining status through her son.’ She rushed to find me without hesitation!”
Helian Jue shouted loudly, his spirits were very high.
It's also a bit strange.
It was as if his words weren't just addressed to the Fourth Prince, but rather a cry to everyone, to the entire world—
“My A Yuan, you did not abandon me for wealth or power.”
"On the contrary, she didn't care about herself or the child; she only had me in her heart and eyes!"
I, Helian Jue, am her only one, her life, and her everything.
Helian Jue was indeed arrogant and narcissistic, and he once proudly believed that Xie Yuan admired him.
However, Helian Jue never felt secure; there was always a void in his heart.
Now, Xie Yuan has filled that gap.
She risked her own life and her child's life to give Helian Jue a strong sense of security!
Helian Jue felt his heart was filled to the brim, and he was enveloped in immense happiness and warmth.
Princess Xu frowned at first.
Sister Yuan isn't an irrational person, so why would she do something so risky?
Then, she saw Helian Jue, who was excited, agitated, and even almost frantic, and Princess Xu suddenly understood.
Princess Xu was absolutely certain that, after this incident, Sister A Yuan was destined to be Helian Jue's daughter.
Forget about the Yue King's Mansion; even if someone gains power in the future, they'll hand it over to Sister A Yuan.
