Chapter 746 Helian Yue's Trap
Helian Tuo rode in a carriage into the palace, but he had no time to think about why Helian Yue summoned him into the palace.
After all, even if he didn't send anyone to summon him, he would go to the palace later when the banquet started.
Sitting alone in the carriage, even though his face had returned to normal, his mind was still full of thoughts. Until the carriage entered the palace, he was led by the palace servants into a hall.
"This eunuch, the emperor has something to summon, why not in Xuanzheng Hall?"
The young eunuch was a clever one under Fu Tai, and had been told long ago. He just said, "The Emperor ordered that someone want to see the prince, so he was brought here."
Helian Tuo's mind was in turmoil because of the truth of his mother's death, and he immediately became alert because of the young eunuch's words.
"Who wants to see me?"
Who in this palace would want to see him?
Did he even bother Helian Yue to specially summon him to the palace?
If Helian Tuo had not recognized that the young eunuch in front of him was indeed Helian Yue's apprentice, he would have suspected that there was some conspiracy waiting for him.
The young eunuch lowered his head, his face still expressionless, and said, "The person is inside, please go in, my lord."
Having said that, he turned around and left without saying anything more.
Helian Tuo was confused and just stepped inside. It was winter and the courtyard was full of plum branches with pink mist on both sides, which made him even more confused. When he walked forward, he saw a figure walking out of the hall.
The indigo fur collared palace gown made her figure look tall and graceful.
Her eyebrows and eyes, carefully decorated with powder, highlight her excellent complexion, adding more color to her already beautiful face.
When those picturesque eyes looked at him, they were obviously smiling, their eyes were full of love and tenderness. They opened their mouths, their voices were clear and melodious, and they called him with a smile, "A-Tuo, you're here."
Helian Tuo, however, couldn't laugh at all.
Even his face looked a little ugly.
When he saw Bai Qianqian walking out of the palace, his heart sank.
He said, why did Helian Yue suddenly call him into the palace in a hurry? It seemed that he wanted to get him!
Helian Yue knew about him and Qianqian, so he set up such a trap?
Arrange for him to meet with Concubine Lian, and then bring people over to arrest him on the charge of secretly meeting with the concubine!
Really insidious.
Or maybe, he had suspicions but no evidence, so he arranged this meeting privately to confirm whether he and Concubine Lian had an affair.
If it was the latter, Helian Yue must be eavesdropping in the dark right now.
Oh, with such an obvious trap, he would never give him a chance to catch him.
He took a step back, keeping a distance from Bai Qianqian, and then bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am honored to meet Her Majesty the Lotus Concubine."
Quan paused slightly as he walked towards him, then walked towards him again, saying in a friendly tone, "A-Tuo, there's no one else here, you don't have to call me like that."
Seeing this, Helian Tuo took two big steps back, his expression serious and solemn, "I came here at the emperor's behest, and I didn't know the queen was here. I think there is a misunderstanding. I take my leave."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, like a real gentleman.
Quanxian was very happy and dressed up carefully to meet the man, but was stunned by his reaction.
Seeing that the man was leaving as soon as he said he would, and was about to leave the palace in the blink of an eye, Quanxian suddenly became anxious. He hurriedly spoke, and used some of his mermaid power to blurt out the order unconsciously.
"stop."
Helian Tuo felt a loud bang in his head, and his feet suddenly became unable to move.
That strange feeling only lasted for a moment. Before he could recover from his surprise, Quan Xian had already lifted her skirt and walked towards him quickly. At this time, she realized what he was worried about and said softly,
"A-Tuo, Helian Yue already knows about us. You don't need to worry about that. I asked him to arrange for us to meet. Look at the plum branches in the yard. I asked someone to plant them specially. Do you like them?"
Quanxian's self-righteous explanation sounded like thunder to Helian Tuo, who thought she was crazy.
If Helian Yue knew about what happened between him and her, and still asked someone to arrange a meeting and decorate the yard, there could only be one possibility.
That is——
Trick him into the palace and kill him together!
