"Tell my brother what happened, hmm?" The little girl's robes were a bit wrinkled from the tugging earlier.
Helian Yi frowned, then carefully straightened the little girl's disheveled clothes. Only then did the frown on his gentle, jade-like face relax.
077 is a vengeful person, and even more so, someone who holds grudges and seeks revenge. Seeing a powerful figure being offered to him, how could he not take advantage of it?
The little girl was overcome with sadness at the thought that she had almost gotten her face covered in bird droppings.
Her rosy, adorable little face scrunched up, her little mouth pursed, and her grape-like eyes instantly filled with tears.
The little arms clung tightly to Helian Yi's neck, and the little head nestled into Helian Yi's arms, which carried a faint sandalwood scent.
"Waaaaah, Your Majesty, that naughty beauty wants to make me beat Sisi and smear poop all over Sisi, waaaaah~!"
The little girl cried as if she had suffered a great injustice, looking extremely pitiful.
Sure enough, Helian Yi's face, which had been somewhat gentle, immediately darkened.
A pair of dark eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazed intently at the few people who had finally managed to stand up, looking utterly disheveled.
"My lady, are you alright? Let me help you up..."
"My lady, let me wipe it for you..."
"Master..."
The palace maids and eunuchs finally managed to help Consort Hui to her feet, and they rushed forward to fawn over her, afraid of being punished if they were too slow.
"Get out! All of you, get out of here!!"
Hui Mei screamed in anger; her face, hands, and dress were now covered in smears of all sizes.
Their hair was covered in bird droppings from the palace maids and eunuchs, and their carefully styled hair was now disheveled from the struggle.
The most tragic thing was that her freshly trimmed, nail-painted nails had three broken off after that tug.
Seeing the little bastard who had caused her such a miserable state, still acting as if she had suffered a great injustice, pitifully clinging to the eldest prince and crying,
Even the eldest prince looked at her with a dark expression, as if he were about to interrogate her. The anger in Consort Hui's chest flared up like a madman.
He glared fiercely at Helian Si, who was nestled in Helian Yi's arms, his eyes filled with a murderous glint that seemed to want to bore two holes through Helian Si.
Helian Yi's gentle and refined face furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the little girl in his arms.
When his dark eyes looked at the disheveled beauty, a hint of coldness appeared, and his voice was as frigid as snow falling in the dead of winter.
"I don't know where my royal sister has offended Consort Hui, that Consort Hui would punish my royal sister in this way."
Helian Nie once said that if any concubine in the harem had no children, the imperial heir would not need to perform the rites or address her as "mother concubine."
This sentence roughly means that women in the imperial harem who did not have imperial offspring had no status.
This is why the concubines in the imperial harem fought tooth and nail to climb into the emperor's bed and conceive his child.
Of course, this is a separate matter, given the immense power of her maternal clan; otherwise, Wen Changle wouldn't have been able to remain childless and still hold power in the six palaces.
To put it bluntly, in Helian Nie's eyes, power is above all else.
Consort Hui's father was merely a lowly sixth-rank official; the only reason he dared to act so arrogantly was because he was close to the Imperial Concubine.
Helian Yi's maternal family were high-ranking officials in the court, and were highly favored by the emperor. No matter how unwilling Consort Hui was at this moment, she dared not offend Helian Yi.
