Chapter 368 He is inclined to tell Helian Qian the truth

Helian Qian nodded and invited his grandmother Helian Sari over.

"Sister, I'm afraid we can't stay in the capital anymore." Helian Aodu expressed his thoughts.

He wanted to go back to Li'an City.

My sister intends to rebel. Even if her three clans are not exterminated, their future life in the capital will not be easy.

Add to that the matter of the princess' niece, and they will definitely be criticized.

It would be better to walk away, retreat to where you were in a low profile, and behave yourself.

"Well, then I will go to the palace with you tomorrow to discuss this matter with the emperor." Helian Sari agreed with his brother's idea.

She wanted to go home too.

No matter how good the capital is, it is not her home.

Moreover, she could feel her health deteriorating. If she was to die, she still hoped to die in Li'an City. That way, she could finally return to her roots.

Helian Qian and Helian Ji wanted to object, but they had no good reason.

After the brother and sister had discussed it, Helian Qian followed his grandmother back to the princess's mansion.

When they arrived at the princess's mansion, Helian Saji suddenly spoke.

"Qian'er, if you want to stay in the capital, you don't have to go back with us."

"Grandma..." Helian Qian didn't expect her to say that, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Since the emperor has acknowledged you as his nephew, he will not harm you. Staying with the emperor will be beneficial to your future." Helian Sarji smiled slightly.

She is already satisfied to be able to spend so much time with her grandson.

"But grandma, your health..." Helian Qian hesitated.

Although my grandmother always said that she was fine, the palace physician asked her to check her pulse more often than before.

"I'm in good health." Helian Sarji smiled brightly.

"The imperial physician said that I am healthy and will live long enough for you to marry and have children."

"Grandma, it's too early to say this." Helian Qian was helpless.

He is only nine years old, and it will take him decades to get married and have children.

"So, grandma's health will last for another ten years without any problems." Helian Sarri smiled, his face much rosier than usual.

Helian Qian no longer doubted her words.

After discussing, the two decided to let Helian Sari go back to Li'an City with Helian Aodu's family, so that the two siblings could take care of each other.

And Helian Qian stayed in the capital.

Helian Sari looked at his figure and felt a little reluctant, but she felt that Helian Qian's future was more important than that reluctance.

The less connection Helian Qian has with their family, the more the emperor will trust him.

As long as he is loyal to the emperor, his future will be bright.

The next day, Helian Sazhi and his brother went to the palace to meet the emperor.

The two men first apologized, and then Lu Yanshi expressed his trust in them and that Helian Jiahua's rebellion would not implicate them. Only then did the two men propose to return to Li'an City.

Lu Yanshi gave him some advice.

Helian Sazhi talked about how his health was getting worse day by day.

After learning that the imperial physician had announced that she would only live for two or three more years at most, Lu Yanshi still agreed to let her return to Li'an City.

Fallen leaves return to their roots.

This is what everyone thinks.

He can understand.

The most capable princess Helian is about to die, so there is nothing to be afraid of Helian Aodu, a guy without any ambition.

It wouldn't be a big problem to let him go back to his hometown and be a leisurely prince.

Besides, he has Xiaojiu, a know-it-all.

If Helian Aodu really wanted to rebel, he would know it at the first moment.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I have one more favor to ask of you." Helian Sarichong bowed to Lu Yanshi.

"Princess, there is no need to be so polite. Please speak." Lu Yanshi gave her enough courtesy.

"Please don't tell Qian'er about my physical condition." Helian Sari didn't want his grandson to worry about him.

"I promise you." Lu Yanshi nodded.

Lu Li, who was sitting next to him, was stunned when he heard this.

Princess Helian, why are you in such poor health?

[Should I tell Helian Qian about this? ]

[But Princess Helian obviously doesn't want Helian Qian to know. ]

Lu Li was in a dilemma.

After thanking Lu Yanshi, the Helian Sarji siblings left the palace.

Lu Yanshi heard his daughter's thoughts and looked at her calmly.

"Xiaojiu, do you have any worries?" he asked.

"Father, I'm struggling over whether or not to tell Helian Qian that his grandmother's health isn't good." Lu Li bit her lip and spoke out her worries.

Adults are always so self-righteous, making decisions on their own, hiding things from children, and thinking that this is for the good of the children.

But children may not necessarily want such a good thing.

"No matter what you want to do, father will support you." Lu Yanshi smiled slightly.

"But father promised the princess that he would not tell Helian Qian." Lu Li pouted, extremely worried.

"Yes, father agreed, but he didn't say it. But you didn't agree." Lu Yanshi rubbed his daughter's head.

He was inclined to tell Helian Qian the truth.

If Helian Qian knew in the future that he helped keep this secret and failed to allow him to accompany Princess Helian in the last two years of her life, he might resent him.

It's just that he had promised Princess Helian before, and it would be difficult for him to go back on his word. If he let Xiaojiu talk to her, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Lu Li widened her eyes.

That’s right, Princess Helian asked her father to keep it a secret, but he didn’t ask her to keep it a secret. She told Helian Qian, so it wasn’t a lie.

"Father is right!" Lu Li immediately decided to tell Helian Qian about this.

As for what Helian Qian would do, she didn't care.

But she didn't want Helian Qian to regret it later.

She still remembered how excited Helian Qian was when he found his relatives.

It was Princess Helian who made up for all the maternal love that his mother had not had the time to give him.

Lu Li sent someone to call Helian Qian to the palace and told him about this.

"Impossible, my grandmother is in good health. She said yesterday that she would see me get married and have children." Helian Qian took two steps back in shock, unwilling to believe this fact.

How is it possible that my grandmother only has two years left to live?

Lu Li called the imperial physician and told him the truth.

Only then did Helian Qian realize that his grandmother had deceived him.

"Thank you, Princess Nine, for telling me this." Helian Qian thanked Lu Li and returned to the Princess's Mansion in a daze.

"Qian'er, what's wrong with you?" Helian Sarri was a little confused when he saw that he looked absent-minded.

Helian Qian paused and told the truth.

"Grandma, why did you hide this from me?"

"You know everything?" Helian Sarri was stunned, then murmured, "Didn't the emperor promise me that he wouldn't tell you?"

"The emperor didn't say it, it was the Ninth Princess who told me. Grandmother, why did you hide it from me?" Helian Qian was very stubborn and asked again.

"Grandma is doing this for your own good." Helian Sarri sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and told him her thoughts one by one.

"But I don't care about the future. I just want to be with you in the last days of your life." The tears that Helian Qian had been holding back finally burst out.

"I can slowly build my future, but if you are gone, no one will love me like this anymore. I want to be with you, take care of you, and stay with you for as long as I can."

His choking voice broke Helian Saji's heart.

She pulled him into her arms.

"Grandma is mistaken. Our Qian'er is a good child, how could he be willing to leave grandma?" She also shed tears.

After crying their hearts out, the grandfather and grandson decided to return to Li'an City together.

They acted quickly and packed their bags the next day and left the capital together with Prince Liang and his family.

…

Time flies, and soon it is the 25th of Ramadan.

This day is a good day for Qu Fufeng to marry Qi Xingwu.
