Chapter 495 This family ultimately depends on me

Si Linglong raised her eyebrows towards Helian Yue.

[When she was speaking just now, her neck muscles moved abnormally.]

From the moment she asked the question to the time the old lady answered, she had been paying attention to the movements of her neck.

Although the collar of the old lady's gown almost covered most of her neck, the exposed part did not show any difference.

But Si Linglong knew clearly that even if she deliberately covered up the wound after transforming, the originally injured part would still react when she moved.

If the smell of alcohol that had not yet dissipated from her body was a coincidence, she didn't believe that the unnatural feeling on her neck was also a coincidence.

Of course, it is difficult to verify it in front of Marquis Wu'an and his wife.

Si Linglong thought about it and decided to give Helian Yuechun a look.

[You said you wanted to talk to the old lady alone and asked them to leave? ]

Although Helian Yue felt that Si Linglong's evidence was a bit far-fetched, he also knew that he could not ask any other questions in front of Marquis Wu'an.

More importantly, if the old lady in front of him is fake.

So where is the real old lady?

We have to find that person and give him some clear questions.

Thinking of this, Helian Yue cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Marquis Wu'an, I have something to say to the old lady alone, you and your men should leave first."

Marquis Wu'an was stunned, as if he had not expected the emperor to make such a request.

Various guesses flashed through his mind, but he didn't dare to show too much on his face, so he could only respond respectfully, "Yes."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was a little hesitant.

Although I know that the emperor treats the old lady differently, she is still a woman after all.

As if he could see the concerns in the wife of Marquis Wu'an's heart, Helian Yue followed suit and said, "My beloved concubine, please stay."

Si Linglong watched the group of people retreat respectfully, and now she had to think of some benefits of having a conspiracy.

Thinking back to the last time she was at Jiuzhu Mountain, in order to get Duke Zhongyong to take the immortality fruit to save his life, she had to make all kinds of excuses and was even questioned and refuted.

If Ah Yue hadn't spoken...

Si Linglong was stunned when she thought of this, and her face was numb as she realized it belatedly.

[Heh, I almost forgot he could read minds. He must have known that I was going to use the immortal fruit to save him, so he made the noise.]

Fortunately, she thought he was considerate at that time!

Thinking he was intent on protecting all his claims.

[Sure enough, the longest road I have ever walked in my life is A Yue’s routine. ]

【Humph, man. 】

The more Helian listened to her accidentally recalling the past and even settling accounts, the more embarrassed he felt. However, since there was an old lady in front of him who he didn't know whether she was real or fake, he could only keep a straight face and not reveal too much emotion.

Fortunately, at this moment, the old lady on the bed spoke up at the right time, asking slowly, "I wonder if the emperor has sent his attendants away because he has something to tell me?"

Helian Yue said nothing, just glanced at Si Linglong beside him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to her.

If he wanted to know whether the old lady in front of him was real or fake, he had a more direct way.

Si Linglong obviously thought of it as well, and a moment of unnaturalness flashed across her face, but after taking a look at the old lady, she reluctantly stretched out her hand.

The old lady just watched the emperor and his beloved concubine suddenly hold hands in front of her.

Old Lady: ???

Helian Yue listened attentively to the old lady's heartbeat, but...

One second.

Two seconds.

The person in front of me didn't react at all.

Helian Yue frowned fiercely.

He couldn't hear the old lady's heartbeat.

This is unprecedented.

Si Linglong looked at Helian Yue's somewhat ugly face, blinked at him with some confusion, and asked him in her heart, "What's wrong?"

Helian Yue said nothing, but just pursed his lips and shook his head at her implicitly.

He can't hear.

Si Linglong seemed a little surprised. She was silent for a while, and suddenly she silently withdrew her hand that he was holding. Her expression was solemn, but there was a hint of subtle arrogance and helplessness hidden in it.

[Sure enough, this family still depends on me in the end. 】

Helian Yue: ...
