This result seemed to be beyond everyone's expectations, and only the emperor himself was happy.
While the banquet was going on, Eunuch Lu came to Concubine Guo and whispered a few words. Concubine Guo's face turned pale in an instant. She clenched her hands under her sleeves so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.
how so?
Fang Miao was originally a tool she used to control her son, but now she has become her love rival.
Another thing is, if Helian Heng knew about this, wouldn’t the relationship between them as mother and son be further fractured?
No, she would never allow the situation to develop into something she hated.
At the same time, Helian Jing and Helian Heng also received the news and learned what had just happened.
Helian Jing was fine, but Helian Heng's expression became gloomy, and there was an uncontrollable anger that was about to burn.
Why did things start to develop in the direction of his previous life? He couldn't just watch Fang Miao continue to follow the same path as in his previous life.
This matter needs to be done quickly and must not be delayed, otherwise it will be too late.
The two sides exchanged glances, walked out of the banquet hall one after the other, and met in a secluded place.
"I really didn't expect that such a change would happen."
Helian Jing stood with his hands behind his back when he heard familiar footsteps coming and stopping behind him. He didn't even need to guess to know who it was.
"I originally thought that even if the rescue failed, she would not be hurt, but the appearance of the emperor was unexpected. You and I must quickly think of a way to stop the emperor."
Helian Heng didn't want to repeat the scene where the father and son were fighting over a woman, and he still insisted on his own ideas.
"For now, there is no other way except to confess Fang Miao's identity."
Helian Jing said calmly that this matter cannot be left overnight, otherwise everything will be too late.
"You go and say it. I can't say it. I've said before that I don't want to compete with you for any credit. I only ask that she be fine. I don't worry about the rest, and I don't care!"
Since he had to confess, Helian Jing had to be the one to reveal Fang Miao's identity. Whoever discovered it would get the credit, and there was no way he would steal the credit.
He Lian Jing finally turned around after hearing this and looked at him in confusion:
"Are you serious? You don't want anything anymore?"
Helian Jing found it hard to imagine. As a member of the royal family, would he really not have any thoughts about that position?
Facing his puzzled look, Helian Heng just smiled:
"What's so good about that position? If you like it, go and fight for it. But I'm more optimistic about you. You're more capable than them, so I'd rather that person be you. What I want is very simple. I want my mother to live a decent life, and I want the people I care about to be by my side without worries."
From his expression, Helian Heng could not see the slightest greed for power. At that moment, he chose to trust him completely.
However, before confessing this matter, Helian Jing still had to meet Xiao Hechuan.
Tonight, Xiao Hechuan also attended the New Year's Eve banquet. The Xuanping Marquis's Mansion is now married to the royal family. As the son-in-law of Xuanping Marquis, he is naturally qualified to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.
Helian Jing called him out and told him what had happened. Now that Fang Miao had revealed her identity, he was afraid that he could no longer hide it from his father.
Xiao Hechuan was also reborn, and what happened in his previous life was still vivid in his mind.
Fang Miao successfully gained the favor of the emperor. From then on, the king no longer attended court early in the morning. The usually wise emperor was intoxicated by the gentleness of the gentleness and could not extricate himself. With Fang Miao's influence, Helian Heng was like a fish in water in the court.
The only solution now is to tell His Majesty Fang Miao's identity in advance to preserve her innocence.
As a person who had been reborn, Xiao Hechuan could empathize with the feeling of wanting to make up for regrets, so he believed that what Helian Heng said was true and he really had no idea about that position.
The three parties reached a consensus that Helian Jing would confess to the emperor, but as for how to confess, that depended on how Helian Jing said it. He couldn't say it deliberately, nor could he say it with certainty.
Xiao Hechuan drew a portrait of the empress of Luosha Kingdom. According to his memory, he had seen the empress's appearance once in his previous life. Fang Miao was 50% similar to her and also had a pair of blue pupils.
Moreover, the empress had a pocket watch hanging around her neck, which was a pair with Fang Miao's pocket watch. These were all key information, and it depended on how Helian Jing guided them.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor seemed a little absent-minded. He had no intention of interacting with everyone, and the singing and dancing did not arouse his interest at all. His mind was now full of the beauty he had just met in the corridor.
Now, Fang Miao was taken to Ruyi Pavilion by Eunuch Fu for temporary placement. He also arranged for an imperial physician to see her shoulder injury and for a maid to help her bathe and change her clothes.
Fang Miao was somewhat desperate. She knew what she was about to face and even had the thought of committing suicide. However, before she died, she still wanted to see Helian Heng again.
After such a long time of companionship, how could Fang Miao not have feelings for him? Her heart was not made of stone.
Even though she was in this situation now because of him, she couldn't hate him.
At this time, a strange maid came to her. She was not a servant in Ruyi Pavilion, but Fang Miao was not on guard against her.
She walked over and whispered something in her ear. Fang Miao looked at her in confusion, and then she subconsciously covered her chest.
How did she know that she had a pocket watch?
Apart from a few close people around him, how would other people who have never met him know?
The palace maid just told her to show her pocket watch, the more conspicuous the better, especially when the emperor is coming, she must show it.
After saying that, the maid handed her another note. Fang Miao recognized it at a glance. It was Helian Heng's handwriting.
When he was in Jeju, he often taught himself how to write. How could his handwriting not look familiar to me?
Although it was only a few short sentences, it gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
"I am writing to you, and I will make sure you are safe."
After reading it, Fang Miao couldn't help crying. It turned out that he knew what had happened to her. She thought he was going to give up on her.
After reading the note, she quickly burned it under the candlelight, leaving no evidence.
She took out her pocket watch and exposed it to the air. It was obvious that the pocket watch was something from abroad and was not available in the Central Plains. As an accessory, it was not good-looking, at least the people in the Central Plains could not appreciate it.
But now, the palace maid told herself that this pocket watch would be her amulet.
