Helian Yu ran so fast that she didn't care about Helian Ya who came with her.
Helian Ya raised her hand to call her, but before she could open her mouth, Helian Yu had disappeared.
She stood awkwardly in front of the medicine shelf, and stepped forward to greet Xie Rangchen: "Master Imperial Master, since Zhaoyang has to return to the palace for something, it is not appropriate for Yongle to stay any longer, so I'll take my leave first."
Xie Rangchen raised his voice: "Shen Fu, take the prepared medical book to Princess Yongle."
Helian Ya was stunned. An absurd thought arose in her mind, but it made her blood boil. Perhaps because of nervousness, her fingertips were numb and cold.
After Shen Fu presented the medical book, he handed it to Helian Ya.
"Within ten days, find three prescriptions in the medical books that can cure the plague. Can you do it, Princess?"
Helian Yawei paused and asked him frankly, "Is the Imperial Master testing Yongle?"
"No." Xie Rangchen's eyebrows did not change at all, and they were as straight as the horizon when the golden crow first rose. "I have no intention of accepting you as my disciple. If you can find the recipe, you can save your life. You put your hope on Yu'er. Even if you can hide for a while, you can't hide forever."
Xie Rangchen stood up with the help of a chair and paced slowly. His black boots and black robe rippled gently, like spring hitting the waves of a lake, disturbing the water.
"Princess, Yu'er is young and shouldn't be involved in your marriage."
Helian Ya's face turned pale, and she lowered her eyes to avoid Xie Rangchen's extremely aggressive gaze and his merciless words.
These words were like thunder, shattering the delusions in her heart.
"Princess, do you need this medical book?" Xie Rangchen asked gently, and the sharpness in his body disappeared.
Helian Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Imperial Master did not want Zhaoyang to get involved in the marriage between the two countries, he did not stand by and watch her die: "Yongle thanks the Imperial Master."
"Shen Fu, prepare the carriage to send Princess Yongle back to the palace."
Helian Yu and Helian Ya left one after another. Marquis Lu and Lord Zheng, who were moving seeds in Qingxi Garden, were busy for half an hour. They did not dare to ask for tea and left in a hurry.
The noise in the Imperial Master's Mansion lasted only half an hour.
On the other side, Helian Yu returned to the palace by carriage. He heard that Helian Su was relaxing in the Imperial Garden, so he hurriedly took the sedan chair to go there.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Helian Su was sitting in the pavilion with a concubine on each side of his hands, looking very happy.
Helian Yu rolled his eyes at him from a distance, jumped off the sedan chair, and ran over: "Father! Father!"
Helian Su raised his eyelids and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw Helian Yu running towards him like a monkey, and a vein on his forehead twitched.
The palace maids did teach her the rules of the palace, and she learned them.
However, if it was not an important occasion, she would never follow those rules.
Concubine Zhao was slightly surprised. She had been in the palace for a long time and had never seen such an outrageous behavior. She secretly observed the emperor and saw that he showed no anger on his face. He tactfully withdrew his gaze.
Liu Qixia was shocked. How could such behavior be allowed in the palace? Didn't the princesses and princes follow the rules and show filial piety in order to win the emperor's favor? She recalled carefully that before her rebirth, she married the only son of the Minister of Personnel and became the young lady of the Jiang family. Her husband was a playboy who lingered in the flowers and brought concubines home one after another. He himself was in poor health and had no children.
As a result, she became a laughing stock in her husband's family, her own family, and even the entire capital. The other ladies all laughed at her for marrying a useless man.
At that time, how miserable her life was, how glorious Liu Qiuyue's life was.
Liu Qiuyue had a bunch of outstanding men behind her, and she was loved by all of them. In two years, Liu Qiuyue became the first female official in Daxia. Although the official position was not high, it was a great honor.
Liu Qixia couldn't help but feel a toothache and sadness when she recalled these things. She died under the persecution of her concubine. Back to two years ago when she was still unmarried, she swore that she must escape from that silver-plated spear head and live a more glorious life than Liu Qiyue.
In this world, what women yearn for most is the harem. If she becomes a concubine and gives birth to a prince, Liu Qiyue will never be able to surpass her in this life! However, Liu Qixia did not expect that this time, Liu Qiyue would be appointed as the prince's concubine, which is different from the previous life...
As for the others, Liu Qixia was a girl living in the boudoir. Apart from the jealousies and struggles in the inner courtyard, she was not aware of the affairs of the court, did not understand the people's sentiments, and even had only a superficial understanding of literature and mundane affairs.
The three of them had different thoughts. Helian Yu had already jumped over and threw himself at Helian Su: "Father~"
Helian Yu grinned at him: "Father is wise and powerful, mighty and domineering, and has a lot of money. He will give Zhaoyang whatever he wants, right? Of course!"
"You're asking and answering your own questions." Helian Su took a sip and said slowly, "Tell me first, what do you like? It's too rare, I can't bear to give it to you, so I reluctantly allow you to go to my Yangxin Palace to touch it."
Helian Yu muttered: "The emperor is so stingy..."
"What did Zhaoyang say?" Helian Su looked dangerous.
"No, Zhaoyang praised his father for being diligent and caring for the people, and for being a good emperor who worked hard and never complained!"
Helian Su habitually poked her cheek, annoyed: "I really want to bring the Imperial Master to the palace to interrogate him and see what he has been teaching you all day long!"
"Master, please don't talk about him!" Helian Yu slapped Helian Su's hand away, put his hands on his waist and said, "Father, I beg you for a favor."
Helian Su looked her up and down. She put her hands on her waist, her palace dress was wrinkled, her neck was stretched up, her chin was raised, and she was very arrogant: "I can't tell for a moment, are you begging me, or am I begging you."
"All the same."
Helian Su was amused and gave Chang Hai a look. Chang Hai immediately understood and asked Concubine Zhao and Noble Lady Liu to leave. He also asked the palace maids and eunuchs to make way for the two to talk.
When everyone was evacuating, Liu Qixia looked back.
Helian Suzheng smiled, held Helian Yu on his lap, and stuffed cakes into her mouth.
Concubine Zhao coughed lightly, signaling Liu Qixia to restrain herself. Liu Qixia quickly withdrew her gaze and gave Concubine Zhao a grateful smile.
In the pavilion, only Helian Su and Helian Yu were left.
"Xiao Yu'er, tell me what you want to do."
"Father is really smart!" Helian Yu applauded, "I want to try to plant and promote wheat seeds in my second brother's fiefdom or in my own fiefdom first."
"Why?"
Helian Su was not in a hurry to deny it, he already had the answer in his mind.
"As for the reason, you won't want to hear it even if I tell you." Helian Yu patted Helian Su's shoulder and said solemnly, "After all, it's not a glorious thing for a son to covet the chair under his father's buttocks and scheme against each other."
"...Helian Yu, I know you don't want to hear it, so just shut up." Veins on Helian Su's forehead were throbbing.
"Next time for sure!"
"You dare to say anything, aren't you afraid that I will beat you with a stick?"
Helian Yu's face was full of pride, and she twisted on Helian Su's legs: "Master will protect me."
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill the fourth brother?" Helian Su's face sank, "After all, the crown prince is the heir to the throne."
"What does it have to do with me if you kill him? He's not my son!"
Helian Yu grabbed a piece of cake, took a bite, and dropped all the crumbs on Helian Su.
Helian Sushuang smiled: "Okay, okay, you don't feel sorry for him."
"Oh, Father, please agree to it quickly!"
Helian Su narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I don't agree."
