What's Ah Yuan's background?
No, that's not the point.
The key question is, how could there be such a woman who didn't know her place and had no respect for imperial authority?
Did she not know that obstructing the emperor's procession was a capital offense?
In mild cases, the victim dies; in severe cases, the entire family is buried with them.
How dare she?
Moreover, he immediately revealed the Empress's secrets.
Who does she think she is?
How could an ordinary person easily comment on a woman as noble as the Empress?
If the woman hadn't been so arrogant and hadn't produced some "evidence," Helian Chen wouldn't have helped with the communication at all.
He could take the initiative and drag the unruly woman to the side of the road and give her thirty lashes.
“My lord, this is what the woman took out, saying it can prove her ‘identity’.”
Although Helian Chen thought it was unreliable, he was Helian Jue's confidant.
His responsibility was to be loyal to Helian Jue, not to make decisions for his master.
As he spoke, Helian Chen presented a small, delicate object.
"Is this a mirror?"
Helian Jue had a capable wife, which meant he saw many new things.
He recognized the small object that Helian Chen was holding at a glance.
However, compared to the mirror made by the craftsmen at A Yuan's behest, the one Helian Chen brought was rather rough.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it was because I saw this mirror that I felt this woman was a bit strange, so I detained her."
As the emperor and empress's most trusted confidant, Helian Chen had naturally witnessed many of Xie Yuan's inventions.
He recognizes small things like glass and mirrors.
only--
"The mirror this person made is too crude; it can't compare to the one made by the Empress at all."
Helian Chen's face clearly showed his disdain.
"..."
Helian Jue didn't say anything. He stared intently at the mirror, turning it over and over, observing it carefully.
After a long silence, he suddenly blurted out, "She said she knows A-Yuan's background?"
Helian Chen shivered at those who hadn't come.
He kept his head bowed deeply, not daring to look up at all.
Even without seeing him, Helian Chen could feel the chill emanating from Helian Jue just by hearing his voice.
"Yes! That's what she said!"
Helian Chen himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling slightly.
Helian Jue gripped the mirror tightly, with such force that the veins on the back of his hand bulged out.
I thought, I thought A Yuan had nothing to hide from me.
As it turns out, she seems to have been hiding a very, very big secret from herself!
Did she not love him as much as she thought?
Otherwise, why are they unwilling to tell the truth?
Or was she already wary of herself, afraid that her biggest secret would be exposed and she would be hurt?
Helian Jue's eyes began to redden; he could barely contain his anger!
After what seemed like an eternity, when Helian Chen could no longer bear the oppressive atmosphere, Helian Jue finally spoke, "Bring her in!"
"……yes!"
Helian Chen almost didn't react in time, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally responded.
Then, he quickly walked out of the tent.
Helian Chen returned shortly afterward.
Two armored soldiers followed behind him, one on each side, and they carried the woman in.
Kneel down!
Helian Chen saw that the woman, who was bound hand and foot, did not kneel before the emperor.
He let out a low shout and kicked the woman in the shin.
The woman was tightly bound, which already restricted her movement.
Furthermore, Helian Chen showed no mercy, suddenly striking with tremendous force, catching her off guard and causing her to fall to her knees.
"All of you, step back!"
Helian Jue didn't care about any of that.
He stared intently at the woman and gave the order in a cold voice.
The two soldiers quickly bowed and withdrew.
Helian Chen did not move. As Helian Jue's confidant, he naturally had to stay by his master's side.
Helian Jue, however, found him an eyesore, or rather, Helian Jue didn't want a third person to know the content of the conversation, so he shouted at Helian Chen, "Helian Chen, you step back too!"
Helian Chen: ...You can't even listen to me?
Does Your Highness really have some unspeakable secret?
No, that's not the point. The point is, wouldn't it be unsafe to leave only the sage behind?
Helian Chen's lips twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something.
Helian Jue, however, could not control his temper and grabbed a teacup, throwing it directly at Helian Chen. "Get out of here now!"
"yes!"
Seeing that the emperor was truly angry, Helian Chen dared not disobey any longer and quickly withdrew.
Before long, only Helian Jue and the woman who had been kicked to the ground remained in the huge tent.
"Who are you? What do you know about the Empress's background?"
Helian Jue's voice was cold, as if it could freeze.
The woman instinctively shivered.
Originally, she thought that emperors were also human beings, and that the so-called "royal aura" was just a fictional creation in novels.
But when she actually arrived before the emperor, there wasn't much of a procession; there was only one person opposite her.
Yet I still felt immense pressure and inexplicable fear!
It was only at this moment that Li Xiaoxiao realized what the emperor's majesty was.
She finally realized that a person's aura could be so powerful.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't even dare to raise her head, and said in a low voice, "I... I am Li Xiaoxiao. I traveled from another world to ancient times!"
"Another world? Ancient times?"
Helian Jue narrowed his eyes, his fingers unconsciously stroking the patterns on the jade pendant at his waist.
