A few days ago, Princess Zhao Yang, who had been ordered to marry in a diplomatic union, was suddenly abducted on her way to Liaodan. The bandits were meticulous and didn’t leave any trace. However, the Emperor had already pinned the blame on Empress Mo. A few days before, Jin Guifei had reminded him that Empress Mo opposed Zhao Yang’s marriage and planned to have her family rescue Zhao Yang midway. At that time, The Emperor had not believed that the Empress would dare betray his will, nor that Duke Li Guo’s Mansion would dare do such a rebellious act!
However, the situation occurred. When the Emperor received the news, the first thing he thought of was the Empress and Duke Li Guo’s Mansion. Even though there was no evidence yet, he had already ordered a thorough investigation and listed Empress Mo and Duke Li Guo’s Mansion as prime suspects. Once evidence was found, there would be no doubt that the Empress would be deposed, and Duke Li Guo’s Mansion would face catastrophe!
All these circumstances would directly affect King Qin’s future. However, Helana didn’t care at all. She loved Nangong Yi, regardless of his status or identity. She loved him, and even if he was no longer a prince, she would still love him, her feelings wouldn’t change because of his change in status.
Helana had made up her mind to go to Lingbei to find Nangong Yi. If she decided on something, there were few instances when Helen Xue could dissuade her, but this time was different. No matter what Helana did, Helen Xue wouldn’t agree and even kept her locked up in the Crown Prince’s Mansion, preparing to send her back to the Xianbei Empire.
For her stubborn younger sister, Helana, Helen Xue was quite helpless. If she allowed Helana to go to the battlefield in Lingbei, where arrows flew without eyes, what if something happened to her? Wouldn’t their Imperial Father and Mother blame her? In fact, she didn’t like Helana, even envied and loathed her, but she had to please her because of Helana’s privileged birth in the Empress Dowager’s belly, being the most beloved daughter of the Imperial Father and Mother.
Therefore, she had to give way to her in every aspect. Helen Xue, a daughter of a concubine, was able to become the Great Jin Nation’s Crown Princess and receive her husband’s love because of the strong Xianbei Empire backing her. Therefore, she dared not offend Helana, she had to take care to cater to her, and always put on a face of loving and caring for her.
"Younger sister, it’s been five years since our Imperial Father and Mother have seen you. They miss you very much. Don’t you want to go back and see them? This time, listen to your older sister’s advice and go back to Xianbei..."
"I won’t listen, get out of here..."
With a kick, Helana overturned the table, pointed at the entrance, and yelled without choosing words, not paying any regard to her status as the Crown Princess.
A numbness crossed Helen Xue’s face and she almost fainted.
Helana was becoming more and more excessive, even daring to scold her in front of servants. Did she still think she was in the Xianbei Empire? Thinking of Helen Xue as that pitiful little girl always need to flatter her? She was now the Crown Princess of the Great Jin Nation, the future Empress of the Great Jin Nation. One day, she’ll make this pig-like woman pay for her actions!
However, her resources were not yet fully developed, and she still needed the Xianbei as backing. Therefore, she could not offend Helana for the time being.
Taking a deep breath, Helen Xue swallowed her anger, tightly clenching her fists under her wide sleeves while still maintaining a gentle smile on her face, "Younger sister, all I want is the best for you. Think carefully about what I’ve said!"
Helen Xue, with her maid’s assistance, left gracefully. As soon as she stepped out, the warm smile on her face instantly cooled, replacing it with a formidable and stern expression aimed at the guards at the entrance.
