He put down the teacup, leaned on the table, and stared in one direction, concentrating his energy.
After a moment, he cleared the air in the room as if nothing had happened.
After one night, the three-day coma finally came to an end. The biggest good news in the capital was the news that several princes and Princess Zhaoyang had woken up.
As soon as the news came out, the Dongning delegation was completely panicked.
Helian Yu ran to the main courtyard leisurely: "Master~ I want to visit my fourth brother!"
However, just as he ran to the main courtyard, he saw Han Xingzhi, the owner of Shangyang Tower, kneeling upright in front of the study, as if begging for something.
Helian Yu bypassed Han Xingzhi and ran into the study.
At that time, Xie Rangchen was wearing white clothes and seemed to be handling official business.
"Master, I want to go visit my fourth brother."
"Let Chang Zuo go with you."
"Good!" Helian Yu sniffed lightly, "Master, what kind of perfume did you put on today? It smells so good~"
"Nothing." Xie Rangchen avoided the main point, "Go early and come back early, and finish the homework that was put off for the past few days after you come back."
“Master——”
"You can do it."
Helian Yu: "..."
It's because I can do it that I'm delaying it! She thinks she can delay it for a few more days.
Master is just too impatient. Not good! Not good! After Helian Yu left the study, he deliberately avoided Han Xingzhi.
The capital has been in turmoil these days. Many hidden Western spies have been discovered among officials, merchants, and even ordinary people.
As for the channels, most of them entered as slaves or mute girls.
Helian Yu put aside the troubles that had nothing to do with her and rushed to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
This time when she entered the palace, she met the women of the Fourth Prince's Mansion for the first time.
Everyone's eyes were swollen from crying.
"Meet Princess Zhaoyang."
"Princess, please let me see His Highness. I am worried about His Highness's health, so I beg you to do so."
Helian Yu glanced at the few people, about eight or nine women: "I will go in and ask."
The girls hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Princess."
Helian Yu entered the room and Zhuo Liu was feeding Helian Chi soup with a bowl.
"Fourth brother, how are you feeling?"
When Helian Chi saw Helian Yu, he was about to raise his hand to scold her, but he couldn't lift his arm.
He was embarrassed: "Helian Yu! What kind of lousy medicine did you give me? I can't even lift my arms now!"
Helian Yu smiled and came over, sitting on the edge of his bed: "In order to make your coma more realistic, I also added a little bit of muscle softening powder. Look, no one noticed~"
Helian Chi was so angry that his hands were shaking: "Why didn't I see you drug yourself?"
"I can't bear to do that!" Helian Yu spread his hands as a matter of course, "Fourth brother, I will feel sorry for myself."
Helian Chi: "..."
Don’t any of them feel sorry for them?
"That's right! Fourth brother, there are a bunch of fourth sisters-in-law outside who want to see you, and their eyes are swollen from crying."
Helian Chi glanced at Zhuo Liu: "Didn't I ask you to send them back?"
"He was rushed just now, so he might have come again." Zhuo Liu frowned, scooped a spoonful of rice soup and fed it to Helian Chi.
"Fourth brother, I'm glad you're okay. It just so happens that the Daxia and Dongning envoys have fallen out. You can make a big splash at the competition banquet in a few days~"
"The capital city is in chaos right now, and it's all thanks to you." Helian Chi said sarcastically.
Helian Yu spread his hands: "Just right, drink it while it's hot, otherwise this pot of porridge will be snatched away if you don't drink it."
"Indeed." Helian Chi chuckled, his ambition clearly revealed in his eyes, "Xiao Yu'er is becoming more and more cunning."
"Master has taught me well." Helian Yu blinked his eyes, "I'm glad that Fourth Brother is okay. I'm going to go see Second Brother~"
"I'm not planning on going." Helian Yu shook his head helplessly, "Brother Crown Prince and Third Brother both have someone they like to take care of, I don't want to get involved."
Helian Chi thought, if he could lift his arms, he would definitely throw her out with his own hands.
Helian Yu came and left in a hurry.
The layout of the Second Prince's Mansion is not much different from that of the Fourth Prince, except for some differences in his preferences for objects.
When Helian Yu went in, Helian Sheng was also being served food. When he saw Helian Yu, he was so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red.
"Brother, why are you so moved that you're crying when you see me?" Helian Yu approached him slowly, "I'm the first person to come and see you, right? It's okay, you don't have to be so moved~"
Helian Sheng took two breaths and tried to calm down: "Helian Yu, you can do it."
"Ah? Isn't it okay to praise a man?" Helian Yu opened his big innocent eyes, "Second brother, I will feel embarrassed if you praise me like this~"
Helian Sheng gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth: "Haha."
"It's just saving your lives, no big deal."
Helian Sheng was choked: "Tell my second brother, who taught you this sinister trick?"
"Master and father~" Helian Yu gave out the two people without hesitation.
She wasn't lying either.
They must have known that she did these things, or even condoned them.
They are best at pretending to be ignorant when they know the truth, especially Helian Su.
Helian Sheng was speechless. He couldn't afford to offend one person, let alone two. The one he couldn't afford to offend the most was the little girl in front of him who was becoming more and more cunning. "Are you here to visit me or to piss me off?"
"Second brother, please don't question my sincerity towards you! Okay!"
“…”
He didn't want to question it.
But it was obvious that she was more thoughtful than he was.
"Oh, right. The Princess Dongning who was chosen for my second brother a few days ago switched to the arms of my brother, the Crown Prince. As the person involved, do you have anything to say?"
Helian Yu came up to him, looking very angry.
Helian Sheng hesitated: "Congratulations? Thank you, Prince? Anyway, I don't want to marry Princess Dongning."
He had never even met Princess Dongning, and whether he accepted the marriage or not was just a decree.
"If I go to the prince and add insult to injury, will he kick me out?"
"...You also know that it's like adding insult to injury, so you'd better not go."
Helian Sheng spoke weakly, obviously very angry.
"Xiao Yu'er, please use a lighter dose next time. My second brother can't stand it..."
"I promise to be more careful next time! Don't worry!"
"Thank you, little ancestor."
“You’re welcome~”
Helian Sheng didn't know if it was early summer, but Helian Yu was becoming more and more excited, even more scorching than the gradually hot weather.
After chatting for a few more words about random, irrelevant things that had nothing to do with the current situation, Helian Sheng very politely asked Helian Yu to leave.
When we got back to the Imperial Master's Mansion, we were just in time for lunch.
Han Xingzhi was still kneeling in front of the study.
Helian Yu ate while trying to figure out what Xie Rangchen meant.
"Yu'er has something to say?"
Xie Rangchen put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes and looked at Helian Yu, his eyes and eyebrows became even colder.
"Master, Master Han has been kneeling for three hours, right? Does he have some amazing trick? He can kneel for so long! If it were me, I would have fallen down long ago!"
Xie Rangchen: “…”
He didn't understand what he expected her to say.
