Helian Sheng stood up and asked, "Apart from this matter, is there anything else?"
"Yes, the Fifth Prince was assassinated and is still recovering from his injuries. The Emperor is also sending people to investigate the matter."
"Go out first."
"ah?"
Aren’t they discussing countermeasures? Why are they going out?
After going out, Su He saw Helian Sheng walking directly towards Duan Qingxi.
He repeated everything Su He had just said to Duan Qingxi and asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Duan Qingxi couldn't help but roll his eyes and said speechlessly, "Your Highness, I ran out to save you. It was because of saving you that I wasted so much time outside. My father and elder brother were so anxious that they alarmed the emperor. Now that something has happened, you actually ask me what to do?"
Su He felt that Duan Qingxi was becoming more and more presumptuous towards Helian Sheng. He was polite to him before, but now he was completely impolite.
But the strange thing is... Helian Sheng doesn't seem to care about her insolence, and seems to be quite indulgent?
Helian Shengdao said, "I just want to hear your suggestions. If you don't have any ideas, then I will do what I think is right."
"Hey, wait, let me think!"
If she did what he wanted, and he didn't tell her what he wanted, what if he wanted to sacrifice her to save himself?
After thinking for a while, Duan Qingxi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise, "I got it!"
Without waiting for Helian Sheng to speak, she continued, "How about this? I'll go back and pretend to be seriously injured. You can take me back and say you found me in the woods. You can come up with your own excuse, and I'll handle this myself."
Su He asked, "But...if we don't speak with one voice, what will we do if the Emperor asks about it?"
Duan Qingxi rolled her eyes. "In the eyes of the Emperor, we don't know each other. Why should we speak with one voice? Are you afraid that he won't see that there's something fishy going on between us?"
Su He thought about it carefully and it seemed to be the case, so he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Following Duan Qingxi's suggestion, Helian Sheng took his men to send her back to the camp despite her dying condition.
Duan Hong and Duan Sijin's eyes instantly turned red when they saw Duan Qingxi, who was covered in wounds and breathing more than he was breathing in.
Duan Hong didn't care about hierarchy and shouted directly at Helian Sheng, "Ninth Prince! How could my good daughter suddenly become like this?! What on earth did you do to her?!"
Perhaps it was because of the relationship between Duan Hong and Duan Qingxi that Helian Sheng wasn't angry. He was surprised that Duan Hong still had such feelings for Duan Qingxi, but he said coldly, "I found her in the woods. As for how she became like this, you can ask her when she wakes up."
After Duan Hong finished yelling, he regained his sanity.
Putting aside Helian Sheng’s identity, given his relationship with Duan Qingxi, there was no need for him to treat her like this.
Even if he really wanted to kill Duan Qingxi, he would not send her back.
So, Duan Hong didn't say anything else, but with red eyes, he and Duan Sijin brought Duan Qingxi back to the tent.
Seeing how sad they were, the emperor was also worried that if Duan Qingxi really died, the father and son would resent Helian Shengxin, so he also sent an imperial physician over.
Looking at Helian Sheng who was still standing in front of him, the emperor felt sorry for him because he had been missing for a few days, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still asked with a stern face: "Sheng'er, where have you been all this time?!"
He keeps disappearing, I wonder if his father would be worried?!
Helian Sheng said calmly: "I went to find some things."
After saying that, he looked at Su He.
Seeing this, Su He came forward holding a box, opened it, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the Dragon Soul Grass that the prince risked his life to find. It can cure the illnesses of the emperor and the queen."
