Chapter 469 More Loyal Than Anyone Else
"well!"
Yelü Han said, "Brother Helian, if that's how you think, then there really is no one who can save you."
"Do you know what it means that the king did all this because of the queen?"
"What?" Helian Qi asked urgently, "I told you not to beat around the bush with me, just tell me quickly, what is it?"
"You know I'm good at fighting, but I'm terrible at these kinds of tricks."
Yelü Han said, "Fine, for the sake of our brotherhood, I'll have a serious talk with you today."
"The reason this king became king was to win the queen; his life will be controlled by the queen."
"From now on, our great cause in Nanli will essentially be handed over to a woman."
"How can this be?" Helian Qi roared. "Isn't this just like what happened to Tuoba Xiong back then?"
"Women should stay at home to support their husbands and raise their children. How can they stand in front and give orders?"
Helian Qi said angrily, "The king is really confused. No, I have to go and talk to the king."
As Helian Qi spoke, he turned to walk toward the palace, but Yelü Han hurriedly stopped him.
"Brother Helian, I've treated you fairly well, haven't I? You can't repay kindness with enmity. If you go to the king to argue like this, aren't you betraying me?"
"Anyone could guess that it was me who told you this."
"Furthermore, do you think it would be useful to ask the ruler for help in this matter?" Yelü Han said. "Instead of asking the ruler, we should solve the problem at its root."
Helian Qi stopped and looked at Yelü Han. "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Yelü Han looked around and asked, "Who do you think is the person who can influence the king?"
"Is that even a question? You've already told me everything, so why are you asking me instead?" Helian Qi said. "Isn't it that damned woman?"
After Helian Qi finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, "Brother, you mean..."
Yelü Han coughed twice. "I didn't say anything."
"Don't worry, I understand." Helian Qi patted his chest. "I won't betray you."
"I absolutely cannot let the kingdom that the king has worked so hard to build be destroyed by a woman."
Helian Qi said to Yelü Han, "Good brother, I'll leave now."
Yelü Han watched Helian Qi's departing figure, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
This Helian Qi is nothing but a busybody; why is he allowed to rule the Sand Kingdom while I can only rule a small country?
When problems arise, I still have to listen to this brute.
Yelü Han stared coldly at Helian Qi's receding figure, as if watching a dying man.
He Lianqi, he understands this best.
Whether he succeeds or not, he will ultimately benefit himself, and only himself.
......
at night.
Helian Qi, along with a group of trusted brothers, entered the palace with his own identification token and bribed a junior eunuch in Chang Le Palace.
Jiang Wan Ning was feeling very tired because she had taken some medicine earlier and had rushed to the Imperial Study during the day.
She was very weak, but fortunately she hadn't taken too much medicine, and with some further treatment, it wouldn't affect the child.
For the sake of her child, Jiang Wan Ning took a break early.
"Your Majesty, shall this old servant extinguish the lamp?" Rong Pei said softly as Jiang Wan Ning closed her eyes.
Jiang Wan Ning gave a faint "hmm".
Rong Pei extinguished all the candles in the room before leaving. There were two maids and two eunuchs guarding the door.
Rong Pei was an elder in the palace, so naturally she didn't need to stand guard outside at night. However, she could only rest in a side room in case of an emergency at night while she wasn't around.
After giving some instructions to the others, Rong Pei returned to her room and lay down when she heard the sounds of fighting.
She quickly got up and walked towards the main hall where Jiang Wan Ning was, asking, "What happened?"
They encountered one of the young eunuchs on night watch halfway through their journey.
"Granny, there's an assassin! There's an assassin!" The little eunuch fled in a panic.
Rong Pei, however, remained remarkably calm. "Go and tell the king immediately."
"If anything happens to Her Majesty, neither you nor I will survive."
The young eunuch knew the seriousness of the situation and rushed out immediately.
On the other side
Yan Changfeng, who had just heard that Jiang Wan Ning had already gone to sleep, was also preparing to rest in the Yangxin Hall.
Upon hearing the eunuch's hurried report, he immediately got up and rushed towards Chang Le Palace without even bothering to put on his clothes.
Upon arriving at Chang Le Palace, there was no scene of fighting and injury as I had imagined, and I didn't even see anyone lying on the ground.
What's even stranger is that none of the servants in Chang Le Palace were there, and no one greeted him upon his arrival.
Yan Changfeng was anxious and rushed towards the main hall.
The moment he pushed open the door, Yan Changfeng thought he was seeing things.
Helian Qi was seen kneeling on the ground, holding his teacup high towards Jiang Wan Ning.
Jiang Wan Ning had already removed her makeup, dressed in plain clothes, one hand supporting her slightly protruding belly, the other hand resting on the table, she was sitting.
"Ningning!" Yan Changfeng didn't care about anything else. After a moment of stunned silence, he came to his senses and immediately went to look at Jiang Wanning.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Jiang Wan Ning glanced down at He Lian Qi, who was kneeling, and said, "I'm fine, he's the one who's in trouble."
Yan Changfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course he would be in trouble. Without saying a word, he raised his foot and kicked Helian Qi in the shoulder, knocking him to the ground.
Yan Changfeng said coldly, "I never expected you to be so bold. Who instigated you to come and have sex with the Queen at night?"
Helian Qi looked up in surprise, glancing at Jiang Wan Ning and then at Yan Chang Feng. "No, Your Majesty, why are you all so adamant that I was instigated by someone?"
"Couldn't it be my own idea?"
"Hmph," Yan Changfeng sneered, "You think you can take me on?"
"I don't have that ability yet."
"Your brain is good for fighting wars, but you need to work on thinking about this much more."
"No...I..." Helian Qi said, "Your Majesty, I..."
Yan Changfeng ignored Helian Qi and asked Jiang Wanning softly, "Ningning, what's going on?"
Jiang Wanning said calmly, "I guessed that he was easily manipulated, so I took the opportunity to set up a trap here."
Yan Changfeng's eyes were full of appreciation for Jiang Wanning, and even a hint of admiration.
"I suspect that the person who instigated you was Yelü Han, wasn't it?"
"You know he's not the king?" Helian Qi said. "This..."
"Hmph, do you think I became the ruler of Nanli just because I'm good at fighting like you?"
"Why do you think I made you the ruler of this sand kingdom instead of Yelü Han?"
"Although you're not very bright, there's one thing about you that you're more loyal than anyone else."
Helian Qi scratched his head. "Your Majesty, are you scolding me or praising me?"
