Duan Qingxi came back this time not only because she wanted to come back, but also because she wanted to escape the eyes and ears of "Helian Sheng" and talk to the National Master. At least she had to know what was happening with Helian Sheng's soul.
After dinner, Duan Qingxi deliberately looked for Duan Hong and Duan Sijin to chat. First, she suddenly had the urge to make them something delicious, then she pulled them aside to talk, and finally she pulled Duan Hong to play chess, and beat him miserably. Duan Hong was so angry that he insisted on dragging her to win a game.
By the time Duan Hong really won a game, it was already three in the morning. Duan Qingxi was very sleepy. Duan Hong felt sorry for her having to go back and forth, so he decided to let her stay.
When he sent the servants back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to report, he thought that Duan Qingxi could stay here for one night or two nights, so he simply sent someone to inform that Duan Qingxi would stay here for two days.
In fact, if Duan Sijin hadn't stopped him, Duan Hong would have asked his servants to go back and report that Duan Qingxi would be staying here for seven or eight days.
Duan Qingxi knew what kind of personality his father had, so he didn't say anything. He went back to wash up and went straight to bed.
After Duan Hong and Duan Sijin had rested, Duan Qingxi had woken up from his sleep. Xuan Yi and Xuan Er had been led away, and Qiao Yun and Chan Xue were also knocked unconscious by Duan Qingxi. Taking advantage of this time, Duan Qingxi put on his clothes and walked out.
The Imperial Master had been waiting in the grove for a long time before Duan Qingxi finally arrived.
He turned around, his face full of resentment. Duan Qingxi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, you look like someone who's out for an affair, don't you?"
Imperial Master: ...
Duan Qingxi felt embarrassed to joke with him again, so he cleared his throat and said, "I was just joking. Now let's get down to business. How is Helian Sheng now?"
The Imperial Master said, "He's been summoned back and is relatively stable. With his master's help, he's fine for now. However...his soul can't leave his body any further, otherwise, even if I enter his dreams, I won't be able to save him next time."
Duan Qingxi said seriously, "Then what should we do? I know that it is Helian Yun who is occupying Helian Sheng's body now, but he won't take the initiative to leave Helian Sheng's body. What can we do? Capture him and force him out?"
The Imperial Master said, "That won't work. Helian Yun isn't that easy to deal with. Furthermore, his body is with him. It's easy to force him out, but what if he harms his body? Disfigurement or broken arms and legs are minor issues, and severing his own tendons isn't a big deal either. But if he castrates himself..."
Duan Qingxi: ...
After the Imperial Master realized what he had said, he coughed and didn't want to continue.
After a while, Duan Qingxi asked again: "What else can we do?"
The two of them thought for a long time before the Imperial Master said, "The best way is to force his true form to appear."
Duan Qingxi frowned and said, "No, he has found a good substitute to replace him. I saw it at the banquet before. If I didn't know that the Helian Sheng next to him was him pretending to be him, I would never have suspected that the fake Helian Yun was not him. Everything has a substitute to end it. I think Duan Shishi is already on his side. The thing attached to Duan Shishi also has the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox. We are no match for them at all..."
The Imperial Master waved his fan and stopped talking.
The two of them remained silent for an unknown amount of time before Duan Qingxi couldn't stand it anymore. She looked at him with resentment and said, "How long are we going to stand here? I'm a married man...it's not good for people to see me, right?"
The Imperial Master looked embarrassed and coughed again before saying, "Okay, then go back first. I'll find you if there's anything. You don't have to come to me specially. If you have anything to ask, just find me..."
As he spoke, he suddenly took out a small conch from his arms and handed it to her, saying, "Blow once if you need help. Blow twice if your life is in danger. Blow three times..."
Duan Qingxi took the thing and said, "I don't care if it's three, four, or five. If you don't come after I blow once, I'll blow twice. If you still don't come after I blow twice, I'll blow three times."
The Imperial Master was helpless and said with a smile: "That's fine, but don't act rashly with Helian Yun. I'll go back and discuss it with your Master to see if there is any better solution. In short...don't be impulsive."
Duan Qingxi blinked, looked at him and asked, "Do you think I'm impulsive?"
The Imperial Master nodded seriously, "You do."
Duan Qingxi: ...
As soon as the Imperial Master left, Duan Qingxi went back. Qiao Yun and Chan Xue were sleeping soundly, and there was no one around to monitor her. No one knew she had left.
After lying on the bed, Duan Qingxi realized that Xuan Yi and Xuan Er had returned.
The next day, Duan Qingxi slept until noon, but Duan Hong and Duan Sijin did not disturb her. They just told the people in the mansion to wait for her to wake up and serve her breakfast well.
After breakfast, Duan Qingxi was not in a hurry, but wandered around the back garden of the general's mansion, pulling weeds and picking flowers whenever she had time. After picking a lot of petals, she asked Chanxue to take them to make delicious flower cakes for her.
Duan Qingxi was still thinking about waiting for Duan Hong and Duan Sijin to come back, and then taking them out to the teahouse. If that didn't work, they could just chat at home. Anyway, she had to go back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion tonight, and she had to act in front of that fake "Helian Sheng". She also had to be on guard against what this guy might do to her at night. It was so depressing.
However, after Duan Hong and Duan Sijin returned from court, the atmosphere in the entire general's mansion was very wrong, and Duan Hong and Duan Sijin's faces looked very bad.
Duan Qingxi noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to hold Duan Hong's arm. After the three of them sat down, she asked cautiously, "Dad, brother...what happened? Did the emperor...say anything?"
Duan Hong's face looked a little heavy, while Duan Sijin's face was indescribably cold. Duan Qingxi rarely saw him so angry, and neither of them spoke immediately, which made Duan Qingxi even more worried.
