Chapter 205 – Strategy
Seeing Mo Youyou in a daze, Helian Yi reminded her by her ear:
“The good show has only just begun. My beloved concubine, why don’t you accompany I to take a look?” Mo Youyou nodded, she was naturally willing to watch the show.
Revealing a mischievous smile towards Helian Yi, he pulled his arm and left the Yellow Crane Tower.
Yue Er returned to her room and paced back and forth with the medicine bag in her hands. She anxiously looked out the window and when she saw the backs of Mo Youyou and Helian Yi, her heart sank. After staring at the two for a long while, she sighed and quickly left her room and headed towards Mo Youyou’s room.
Yue Er entered Mo Youyou’s room and spread the medicine on Mo Youyou’s clothes, then quickly tidied up and put it on Mo Youyou’s bed. After finishing everything and feeling that there were no problems, he heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left Mo Youyou’s room.
On this day, the streets and alleys of Tong Li Kingdom were plastered with notices, the old illness of the Emperor had erupted, and the entire city was searching for famous doctors to treat the Emperor.
Those who were able to do so would earn up to ten thousand taels of gold.
Once this announcement was made, all the different imperial physicians rushed to the outskirts of the Tong Li Kingdom to register themselves.
Xiao Zhai stood on top of the imperial city and looked at the long dragon-like line, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a charming smile.
He did this so that the citizens of the Tong Li Kingdom would know. As the Crown Prince, he treated his father with all his might, and made everyone understand that the Emperor was currently in a relapse, and was not in the mood to go to court.
As the Crown Prince, he naturally followed the lead and calmed the hearts of the people.
When Xiao Zhai saw the two familiar figures in the crowd, he was startled for a moment, then quickly went down the Imperial City, towards the place where Mo Youyou and Mo Youyou appeared from.
At this time, Helian Yi held Mo Youyou’s hand, and the two of them looked at the notice on the city wall and smiled at each other. He never thought that Xiao Zhai’s actions would be so quick.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: “Mo You!”
Mo Youyou heard the voice, and turned to look at the approaching person together with Helian Yi.
Helian Yi coldly glared at him. He naturally remembered the first time Xiao Zhai and Mo Youyou had met, how Mo Youyou had disguised herself as a man and changed her name to Mo You.
He still remembered back then, Xiao Zhai was still coveting Mo Youyou’s beauty.
Mo Youyou felt the cold aura from Helian Yi’s body, and could not help but laugh while covering his mouth.
“Seems like Brother Xiao is in a good mood today!”
Xiao Zhai pretended to have an innocent face and shrugged, “Brother Mo You must be joking, I just didn’t expect to see the two of you here. It has been a while since we last met, and Brother Mo You has become even more handsome now. ”
Mo Youyou saw that Xiao Zhai did not finish his words, and coldly reminded him:
“If you continue talking, I’m afraid Prince Jing is going to the Imperial Palace to treat your royal father!”
After he finished speaking, Mo Youyou lifted his eyes to look at Helian Yi’s complexion which was gradually turning better. She knew that this man must be eating vinegar!
Sure enough, when Helian Yi saw that Mo Youyou was thinking for him, his heart was also facing him, and in that moment, the unhappy mood disappeared like smoke in thin air.
A proud look flashed past his eyes, and he hugged Mo Youyou into his arms as he proclaimed his sovereignty like a child. He glanced at Xiao Zhai again, as if reminding him.
“This woman belongs to I! If you continue to have ill intentions towards her, I would not mind going to the Imperial Palace to “treat” your royal father. ”
Xiao Zhai was purposely joking around with Mo Youyou. Normally, he would always be oppressed by Helian Yi, but now that he finally had a chance to anger him, he naturally had to seize it.
Hearing Helian Yi’s words, Xiao Zhai frowned, sighed, and said to the two of them:
“Ai, I was really helpless when I met Brother Jing! You received news from the palace? ”
Mo Youyou glanced at Helian Yi and nodded. Yes.
“Since the two of you already know, then I will not explain any further. Brother Jing, Princess Jing, please!”
With that, she brought Mo Youyou and into the Tong Li Kingdom.
Xiao Zhai had already reached this step, and was waiting for the court officials to start a new king.
However, in order to move that group of mischievous old fogeys, Helian Yi had to take action.
Along the way, Mo Youyou observed the situation of the Tong Li Kingdom and would occasionally hear Helian Yi and Xiao Zhai discussing about Xiao Zhai becoming.
Although she was a woman and could not participate in politics since the ancient times, she had a rough understanding of Helian Yi’s strategy.
Helian Honglie had always been wary of the relationship between Xiao Zhai and himself. What he feared the most was Xiao Zhai inheriting the throne, Helian Yi was very ambitious, if the two of them were to work together in the future, then his Ming You Kingdom would suffer.
At that time, Helian Honglie had also been doted upon by Xiao Tianba, and he was afraid that Lily would poison him and help him succeed the throne. That was the reason why Helian Yi came to the Tong Li Kingdom to assassinate Lily.
Only, Helian Yi felt that Lily would be of use to him in the future.
So he did not listen to Helian Honglie’s words and kill Lily. This caused Helian Honglie to think that Xiao Zhai and Lily were incompatible like fire and water; that Lily was not someone who was easy to deal with, that was why she was left to greatly restrict Xiao Zhai.
In the future, Xiao Zhai would definitely not have a chance to successfully succeed the throne. But Helian Honglie definitely would not have thought that it would ultimately turn out this way …
Now that Helian Yi had asked him to go to the Ming You Kingdom to propose marriage, firstly, he wanted to express the sincerity of the Crown Prince so that Helian Honglie would feel that his feelings for Helian Yao’er were sincere.
Moreover, Helian Yao’er had loved Xiao Zhai for a long time. If Xiao Zhai took a step forward at this time, then Helian Yao’er would naturally not hesitate to go through fire and water at all. And Helian Honglie favored Helian Yao’er the most, so naturally, he would not stop this marriage.
Helian Honglie knew in his heart that a few princes of the Tong Li Kingdom were scheming against each other, but his beloved daughter had long been married to the Tong Li Kingdom, so he would naturally look out for her for the rest of his life.
As long as he was the Queen of Tong Li Kingdom, above everyone else, his daughter would not be bullied. Therefore, it was only natural to help Xiao Zhai succeed the throne. Even if she did not help Xiao Zhai, she would not stop him from taking over the throne.
Mo Youyou watched the two of them talking to each other with interest, and was not willing to disturb them.
The three of them continued until they sat in the pavilion in the middle of the Imperial Garden. Mo Youyou heard the conversation between the two and felt very bored, she looked around and saw the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond behind the fake mountain, so she left the pavilion and walked towards the lotus pond.
Even though Helian Yi and he were discussing the political affairs of the empire, his gaze never left Mo Youyou.
Seeing that she was walking alone towards the back of the fake mountain, he slightly frowned. Just as he was about to warn her to be careful, he was interrupted by a flustered guard who rushed over.
The guard knelt in front of Xiao Zhai and said anxiously:
“Your Highness, those old officials have caused trouble in Shaoyang Palace again.”
Helian Yi and Xiao Zhai looked at each other, and Xiao Zhai lowered his eyes slightly. After a while, he heard Helian Yi remind him:
“Since these ministers are so loyal to your royal father, why don’t Brother Xiao send them out to look for someone?”
