Helian Chi's palms felt hot, and he spat at her, "You are so young, yet you are still talking nonsense."

Helian Yu pulled Helian Chi's hand away, hummed twice, and looked up at the moon. "Soon."

"What's coming soon?"

Helian Yu moved away from him and took a few steps back. Helian Chi looked at her in confusion.

Woo.

Helian Chi's expression changed slightly, his eyes became as sharp as a blade, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

He wiped the black blood from his lips and looked at Helian Yu: "Xiao Yu'er has to give Fourth Brother an explanation."

"It's obvious~" Helian Yu pointed at Shangyang Tower, "Someone wants to wipe out the Great Xia prince~"

"I saved you~"

Helian Yu waved to Xingchun who was standing by the carriage: "Let's go! Go back home!"

Helian Chi grabbed her and asked, "How do you know?"

"My master is the national master!" Helian Yu smiled and waved, "See you tomorrow~"

They should all be vomiting blood by now. There will be a good show to watch tomorrow~ Helian Yu got on the carriage happily.

"Is there any good news, Your Highness?" Xingchun asked.

Helian Yujing's eyes curved slightly: "No, but the capital will be very lively recently."

Xingchun: “…”

With His Highness here, how could the capital not be lively?

The carriage returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and Helian Yu ran straight to the main courtyard.

“Master! Master!”

Seeing her jumping around freely, Xie Rangchen held her down and asked, "What's the matter?"

“Master~~~~”

"…stick out your tongue."

"oh."

Helian Yu tugged at his robe, his dark eyes gleaming, "The spies from Shangyang Tower poisoned the Crown Prince, my second brother, my third brother, and my fourth brother all at once. How daring!"

"How do you want to do this?"

"I have detoxified the four of them, but I have also added sleeping powder. After tonight, they will have to sleep for three days and three nights before they can wake up~"

Helian Yu's tone was proud, with a little devil's light flashing in it.

"If they are still asleep, some desperate people will take action, and then - catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Master, am I super smart?"

"Praise me, praise me!"

Xie Rangchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Yes, it's good."

“Hehe~”

"You can take advantage of these three days of free time to sort out the books in the study. I will check on the third night."

Helian Yu was silent, turned around silently, and looked up at the moon in the sky: "Alas... my life is so miserable..."

Xie Rangchen's fingertips brushed across the back of her neck, feeling slightly cool and delicate, causing a momentary shiver, which was so eerie that it was chilling.

"Don't sigh all the time when you are young."

“…”

The next morning court session.

The emperor was furious in his throne room, the envoys from Dongning were imprisoned, Shangyang Tower was sealed, the life and death of four princes and a princess were uncertain, the capital city seemed shrouded in gloom, bleak and everyone was in danger.

Inside the Imperial Master’s Mansion.

Helian Yu always felt strange. She felt hot after waking up in the morning. It might be because it was early summer and she felt restless.

She was bored alone, but she didn't like reading. Teasing Xie Rangchen was her greatest pleasure.

Main courtyard.

With four princes in a coma and government affairs piling up, a lot more tasks were assigned to the Imperial Master's Office.

When Helian Yu arrived at the study, Xie Rangchen was buried in his papers.

"Master, are you busy with official business?"

Xie Rangchen raised his eyes, his eyelashes were as fluttering as butterfly wings, fragile and charming, his porcelain-white skin complemented his enchanting appearance: "Come here."

listen.

The voice is like cold jade.

"Master!" Helian Yu didn't know why, after throwing herself on him, the heat in her heart subsided a lot, and she even felt a quiet comfort. She praised, "Master is like a fairy~"

Xie Rangchen lowered his eyes and glanced at her black hair: "Am I pretty?"

"Of course my master is beautiful! My Helian Yu's master must be beautiful in the same vein!"

Whose pulse are you taking?

Take her pulse?

"When will you practice?"

Helian Yu's body tensed up, and his brain quickly searched for a solution: "Wait——"

Xie Rangchen interrupted her and said without question: "Starting today."

"Isn't it too early? Master, aren't you suppressed? Why don't we wait until everything is over?"

Xie Rangchen grabbed her by the back of the neck. Helian Yu instinctively leaned on him and hugged him pitifully: "You always like to do it tomorrow and tomorrow. This matter is not up to you. It must start today."

"oh……"

Helian Yu tugged at his clothes, messing them up on purpose, and climbed on top of him: "Master, what do you want to learn first?"

Xie Rangchen took out the skills he had prepared long ago and stuffed them into her hands: "Old rules."

Memorize it first.

Practice again.

Check at night.

There will be rewards if you understand.

There will be no penalty.

Helian Yu's knees trembled, "Still kneeling?"

Xie Rangchen was silent: "Are you sure you can't practice it?"

"...Not really. You can't defeat the enemy without fighting! I'm just asking...do you still want to punish me by kneeling?"

"Um."

Helian Yu curled her lips, rubbed her body hard into his arms a few times, and spoke in a muffled voice, showing her displeasure.

The four princes' palaces were heavily guarded, people coming and going were strictly checked, and many places in the capital were subjected to surprise inspections by various departments.

Only the Imperial Master's Mansion remained peaceful...

Maybe not.

Helian Yu groaned twice and knelt in front of the large carved bed in Xie Rangchen's master bedroom: "Master, I clearly got it right after the third practice, why are you punishing me? I don't accept it!"

Xie Rangchen came up from behind her, holding a book in his hand, and sat down on the large carved bed, looking disdainfully at the small ball on the carpet, his eyes dark.

"The first two times were just for fun, but the third time I put in real effort. Yu'er's attitude is still not right."

Helian Yu lowered his head: "I was just joking with Master, who knew that Master couldn't take it!"

"Get up."

Helian Yu was surprised and stood up with his eyes bent.

"Kneel down."

Helian Yu was silent, bit her lip, and knelt down obediently.

"Get up."

Helian Yu already understood what he meant, so he lowered his head and stood up.

"Kneel down."

When Xie Rangchen spoke, Helian Yu had already knelt down.

"I'm sorry, Master." Helian Yu wrinkled his nose, "I was wrong."

Xie Rangchen was used to her heartless appearance. When she suddenly became serious or even depressed, his heart ached and he felt uncomfortable.

But she couldn't be a child all her life, and even if she wanted to, he wouldn't agree.

Obviously she was the first...

"Yu'er, come here."

Xie Rangchen put down the book, sighed softly, and called her.

Helian Yu's eyes were red, and she felt an unspeakable grievance in her heart. Without even raising her head, she moved her knees and crawled to the side of his bed.

Xie Rangchen frowned, got off the bed, and knelt beside her: "Are you angry?"

Helian Yu blinked and said in a childish voice, but one could still hear a hint of crying: "No."

Xie Rangchen raised his hand and placed it on the back of her neck, which was the place where she felt most insecure and most dependent.

This time, he clearly felt her shrinking and avoiding.

"Yu'er, look up."

His voice was as gentle as ever, without any resentment, and seemed to be able to accommodate everything.

Helian Yu's nose felt sore and tears seemed to have broken off the string, falling endlessly. She didn't even dare to look up.
