Chapter 444: For a woman, he even gave up his kingdom?
Over the years, Xiyan was annoyed by Xiao Nanyan's domineering and self-centeredness, and the fact that he was always so confident and sure of himself, keeping everything firmly in his hands without ever asking whether she was willing or not.
But the moment the dagger pierced his body, it was as if a hole was cut open in her heart, with cold wind rushing in, making her feel empty and painful.
She knew that he had taken the knife willingly, not only to save Yin'er but also to let her vent her resentment.
Thinking of this, Xiyan felt a little scared. She was afraid that she would never see him again in this life.
She knew very well in her heart that Helian Feng and Xiao Beicheng were cunning men and would definitely take advantage of the perfect opportunity when Xiao Nanyan was seriously injured to stir up trouble and disrupt the morale of the army.
And her own situation is also very dangerous.
Helian Feng certainly would not hurt her, but he was surrounded by wolves and tigers. Su Qinyao, Helian Shu, and Xiao Beicheng, each of them had a vicious mind. Her internal energy was also sealed. How could she save herself and escape from the tiger's mouth?
…
Xiyan's prediction was correct. The news that she was imprisoned in the palace by Helian Feng spread quickly to Su Qinyao's ears as if it had wings.
When Su Qinyao heard this, she was so angry that she smashed the jade cup in her hand to the ground. The fragments flew up and made a harsh sound on the gold bricks.
She immediately ordered Helian Feng to be summoned to Yumo Palace, and without waiting for him to bow, she began to scold him harshly:
"Feng'er, you're becoming more and more successful now! Wasn't that Xiyan just a pawn to force Xiao Nanyan to withdraw his troops and hand over the imperial seal? But you, on the other hand, hold her in your palm every day, let her sleep in your palace every night, and even want to make her your queen? She's the wife of a traitor, and she's given birth to a child. How will the entire court view you? How will the people of the world discuss you? How disgraceful!"
Seeing Helian Feng remained silent, Su Qinyao was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She pointed at Helian Feng's nose and said in a sharp tone:
"Listen to the Queen Mother and throw her into the Sky Prison immediately! That woman is Xiao Nanyan's bedmate, so she must know a lot of his plots and military strategies. Under torture, are you afraid that she won't confess? Then we can control Xiao Nanyan and know the enemy's movements. This is the real thing!"
Helian Feng stood in the hall, his face as cold as frost. After hearing her words, he just said lightly:
"Mother, I know my limits when it comes to matters of state. Xiyan is the apple of my eye, and I will never trade her for anything—otherwise, I will truly lose her forever."
"you!"
Su Qinyao was so angry that she trembled all over and pointed at him and scolded him:
"You useless thing! You're willing to give up your kingdom for a woman?"
Helian Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice was undeniably tough:
"Mother, she is the woman I love most in my life. Even if I really lose my kingdom, I will never use her for anything again."
He paused, his eyes swept over the palace servants who were silent as a mouse, and said word by word:
"Anyone who dares to touch her will become my enemy. When the time comes, don't blame me for turning against you!"
After saying that, he turned away without waiting for Su Qinyao to speak again.
The hem of the bright yellow dragon robe swept across the jade cup fragments on the ground, making a small sound, as if putting an end to this unpleasant dispute.
Su Qinyao looked at his resolute back, her eyes went dark with anger, she barely managed to stand by holding onto the edge of the table, and said bitterly:
"Evil creature! What a devil who's been blinded by beauty!"
…
At this moment, Helian Shu was hiding behind the pillar of Yumao Palace. She heard the quarrel between Helian Feng and Su Qinyao clearly and felt annoyed.
The person she hated most in this life was Xiyan.
If it weren't for this woman, how could the emperor be so infatuated with her that he would even abandon his kingdom?
Especially Xiao Nanyue, the person she had held in her heart for many years, who treated her cruelly and coldly again and again for Xiyan.
A few days ago, she heard that Xiao Nanyue was stabbed by Xiyan and his life or death was still unknown. The love and hatred she had for Xiao Nanyue twisted into a ball, and finally turned into resentment towards Xiyan.
As long as this woman is alive, she feels like there is something stuck in her throat and even breathing feels uncomfortable.
She heard from her father Xiao Beicheng that Xiyan was given the Suo Yuan Powder by Helian Feng, and her internal energy could not be exerted. This was a good opportunity to get rid of her.
However, she is still concerned about Helian Feng.
If he knew that it was me who did it, considering how much he cares about Xiyan now, he would definitely not let her off.
But just now, when she heard the argument between her brother and her mother, a sinister calculation suddenly flashed in Helian Shu's eyes:
Right now, they are in great discord over Xiyan. If she kills Xiyan now and then cleverly frames the crime onto the Queen Mother, even if the Emperor is furious and hates her, can he really take action against the Queen Mother who gave birth to him?
By then, Xiyan was dead, the annoying person was gone, and she felt better. However, her mother was hated by her royal brother, and there was a gap between them. She still felt resentful and grudged about the fact that Su Qinyao wanted to abandon her life for Helian Feng's throne on the day of the Yunqiu Rebellion.
So, in this way, she can not only get rid of the biggest worry in her heart, but also vent her anger, and get away with it safely. Isn't it killing three birds with one stone?
