"Oh? What do you think, Xiao Yu'er?" Helian Chi chuckled, freed his fingers, and stroked the soft flesh of Helian Yu's chin in a lazy posture.

Chen Sili panicked and opened his mouth to interrupt Helian Yu, "Your Highness, you can't listen to the nonsense of a yellow-mouthed child!"

"You have yellow teeth!" Helian Yu grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it at Chen Sili. "Do I know you? You scold me!"

Helian Chi paused and laughed, "I really don't know whether to say you are stupid or praise you for being smart."

I would rather be stupid than not give Chen Sili a beating.

Chen Sili was hit and a red mark was left on his forehead, but he could not refute or preach in front of His Highness, so he could only accept the loss.

Helian Yu pointed her little finger at the tortured woman, "She can't be an assassin."

"Why?"

"If she were an assassin, she would definitely yell at you and call you the son of a dog emperor, and then she would spit at you."

Helian Yu raised his head, his almond eyes dark and bright, "But she doesn't have that. She has no fighting spirit, and no hatred in her eyes. She even confessed because of what Lord Chen said. It can be guessed that Lord Chen has a weakness or a handle on her."

When Helian Yu said the three words "Dog Emperor", everyone knelt down in unison, except her and Helian Chi who sat upright on their chairs.

She was still talking, with confidence on her little face and light in her eyes.

Helian Chi listened to her quietly. For a moment, the only voice that could be heard in the cell was Helian Yu's fluent, clear, and childish voice.

Chen Sili straightened up and looked directly at Helian Yu, "What nonsense! What we do in the Dali Temple is to eliminate evil and promote good, and what we do is upright and strict. Who on earth are you to dare to criticize His Majesty and frame an official of the court!"

Helian Chi sneered, "She is my—"

"My master is the national teacher!" Helian Yu answered first, and Mingyao's little face seemed to be filled with supreme glory.

Helian Chi's face froze, and he sneered again, "Yes, her master is the national master."

"Your Highness, even if you are a disciple of the Imperial Master, you are..."

"Your Highness, Lord Lu requests to see you."

Helian Chi's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Chen Sili's excited expression, "Please come in."

Helian Yu suddenly realized. She remembered that in the plot, Lord Lu was a corrupt official and many corrupt officials in the court were from his faction.

Liu Qiuyue even joined forces with other countries to rebel and colluded with Lord Lu's son, Prince Lu, in the court.

With internal and external attacks, Daxia will surely perish.

Helian Yu looked at Helian Chi again with a complicated look. She remembered that in the plot, Lord Lu was an old minister who supported Helian Chi.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Helian Chi smiled. He guessed that Helian Yu was thinking about his relationship with Lu Jing, but so what? "You look good."

Helian Yu was perfunctory.

Helian Chi laughed dumbly and pinched Helian Yu's little face, "What a coincidence, Xiao Yu'er is also beautiful."

Helian Yu swallowed his saliva. What should he do with a villain around him? Help!

While Helian Yu and Helian Chi were arguing, Lord Lu Jinglu strode in.

"Your Highness, I greet you. May Your Highness be well." Lu Jing was wearing official uniform and looked like he had come in a hurry.

"Lord Lu, there's no need to be so polite." Helian Chi raised his hand to him, "Why is Lord Lu here? I remember you were busy with the Ministry of Works."

"Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness came to the Dali Temple today to take up his post and gain experience. I am worried that Master Chen does not know the etiquette and may neglect you, so I came to visit you."

Helian Yu was shocked. The corrupt official had really good words. Just look at the flattery. Helian Chi must be very happy... Eh?

Helian Chi didn't laugh? Helian Yu was surprised. Doesn't Helian Chi like to be flattered?

"Lord Lu, there is a difficult case right now."

Helian Chi didn't waste any more time talking to Lu Jing. "Chen Sili, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, is involved in the case and is now suspended for investigation."

"Your Highness, I am His Majesty himself—"

"Bold Chen Sili! Your Highness has come here for training in compliance with the imperial order of His Majesty. Do you dare to disobey the order?" Lu Jing kicked Chen Sili to the ground.

Guard Helian Chichong ordered, "Send Master Chen back to the mansion. When the truth is found out in the future, Master Chen's innocence will be restored."

Cui Huai, along with his guards, escorted Chen Sili out, and put the woman and jailer Liu Sanzhuang into jail.

Helian Chi led Helian Yu out of the prison, and Chang An and Lu Jing followed behind them, a few steps behind.

Lu Jing asked in a low voice, "I heard a few days ago that Young Master Chang was in trouble. I didn't expect that he was with the Fourth Prince."

Chang An raised his eyes, a pair of narrow black eyes that did not match his age, making it difficult to understand what he meant, "Lord Lu, you are joking. This servant has no dealings with the Fourth Prince. The master this servant follows is that girl."

Lu Jing's expression changed slightly, and his eyes fell on Helian Yu, "Is this young master... someone from the palace?"

"yes."

Chang An did not hide it. He believed that it would not take long for his young master to soar to great heights.

Chang An was very confident. As the Majesty's favorite little daughter and the disciple praised by the Imperial Master, she was full of glory and deserved to be pampered in every way.

Lu Jing's expression gradually became solemn, and then suddenly the clouds and rain cleared up. He bowed and waved to Chang An, "I congratulate Young Eunuch Chang."

Chang An quickly returned the gift, with a look of panic on his face, "I dare not, it is really embarrassing for me."

"No, no." Lu Jing smiled, "I am congratulating you. Young Master Chang used to serve in the Yangxin Palace and worked very hard for a long time. How could he not be able to bear it?"

The two of them went back and forth, each pretending to be a human for fun.

However, Helian Yu and Helian Chi in front had a disagreement.

"It's only been a short time, and you already like your demon master so much?" Helian Chi said with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

Of course Helian Yu wanted to return to her master as soon as possible. He was the only person she was familiar with here, the only person who would not harm or plot against her.

When Helian Yu thought about this, he felt a sense of grievance in his heart, and his eyes turned red. "I will go find my master! My master is not a demon!"

Helian Chi's face fell a little, and there was a cloud of gloom gathering. His tone became heavier, "Has this palace been bad to you? You have only seen that monster - that state teacher a few times!"

Being cut by Helian Yu's sharp eyes, Helian Chi swallowed the word "evil Taoist".

"You are very good to me, but Master will be better to me."

Helian Yu was very confident and had no idea how much hurt this sentence was to Helian Chi.

Helian Chi's chest was filled with a breath that was neither rising nor falling, causing pain in his chest. "Okay, he treats you better, right?"

Helian Yu looked at Helian Chi's face and was afraid that he would have her thrown into jail.

So, she softly held his hand and said, "Fourth brother, I'm sorry, I just don't want you to scold Master. He is really good, and you are also good, and I like you too."

Following the principle of "a man under someone's roof has to bow his head", Helian Yu expressed her "love" in a cowardly manner, then looked up and smiled sweetly at him.

Helian Chi squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Yongquan!"

Helian Yu's body trembled, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately. Was Helian Chi, this yandere, going to throw her into jail?

Master, help!
