Chapter 137: Gangstering

The one who spoke was Afaf who was arranging his appearance.

Xiao Yue sighed and said: "Stop pretending. I just want to tell you, be careful in everything..."

"Haha, stop pretending to be a good person." Afaf smiled.

"You are pregnant, so you don't have to worry. If by chance you give birth to a prince, you will be the one to take the throne."

"What's more, mother is more valuable than son. As long as your son becomes the prince - with the power of the Prime Minister's Office behind you, it shouldn't be difficult to do this, right?"

"When the time comes, you will be the empress dowager above all others, so naturally you won't have to worry about your status and future..."

Xiao Yue saw that she was unable to make progress, so she sighed helplessly: "This is what I said, so you can take care of yourself."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave when the hysterical shouting of the dancing girl came from behind: "Get out! Don't think that I don't know what you are planning, you traitor!!"

Xiao Yue was also angry: "Isn't everyone as brainless as you? Do you really think that the meat from Xiaoshuang Kingdom is so delicious?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has intercepted the information you sent. Now everyone in the palace is in panic. Aren't you going to let it go?"

What they didn't know was that when Helian Wenyu walked back to the Imperial Garden, she excused herself as feeling unwell and needed a rest, and left directly.

The remaining group of ladies looked at each other in confusion. It can be said that the banquet has no meaning now.

But if they left before the time was up, they were afraid of being accused of disrespecting the eldest princess, so they spread out and had fun on their own...

What these noble ladies didn't notice was that Her Royal Highness the Princess made a circle from the imperial garden and quietly returned to Afaf's side hall...

At the same time, Helian Jingxi also tacitly listened to the quarrel between the two...

When the two of them were both red-faced and tired from the quarrel, Helian Jingxi clapped his hands and applauded, quietly walked out from behind the curtain, looked at the two of them coldly, and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! As expected. This emperor’s beloved concubine——”

Seeing that Helian Jingxi had taken the initiative to show up, Helian Wenyu also walked out from behind the curtain with a cold face without saying a word.

Afaf and Xiao Yue obviously did not expect that Helian Jingxi and Helian Wenyu would leave and come back. They were both panicked and stunned for a moment.

The first person to react was the gentle Xiao Yue. She leaned down and confessed her crime cleanly without making any excuse: "I am guilty, please forgive me..."

Helian Wenyu glanced at Xiao Yue, who had a cute expression, and had to admit that her reaction speed was indeed good enough.

With her confessional attitude, coupled with the child in her belly and the power of her mother's family behind her, Helian Jingxi really can't be punished severely. At most, he will be given a cold treatment, but his life will definitely not be in danger... …

However, obviously Afaf does not have this kind of wisdom.

She first put on a weak look and leaned towards Helian Jingxi. After Helian Jingxi stepped back repeatedly, she simply stopped pretending and said, "Have you heard that?"

After receiving the silent acquiescence of Helian Wenyu and Helian Jingxi, Afaf seemed to have given up struggling and started yelling at them.

Helian Jingxi looked at the ferocious-looking dancer and couldn't help but feel discouraged and said: "Luo Zhoubai——"

Luo Zhoubai walked out of the shadows, clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm here."

"I'll leave these two people to you. No matter what, we must ask the people behind them, as well as their purposes and plans." Luo Zhoubai secretly complained. These two people are the emperor's legitimate concubines, and one of them is even more so. She was pregnant with a dragon heir, and how could she dare to torture these two people when she was just a commander?

If one of them is not cared for properly, he will be left with nothing to lose. But if there is no need for punishment, how can I find out the emperor's information? !

It's just that this is what Helian Jingxi personally asked him to do. He can't refuse at all. He can only say with a bitter face: "I obey the order."

The nth day I miss my former boss Yuwen Nai...

At the same time, Yuwen Nai, who was idle at home, suddenly sneezed and asked doubtfully: "Strange, who is bothering me?"

Seeing that this matter came to an end, not long after, a bombshell came out from the palace and quickly caused a sensation in the capital.

The beauty presented by Qifeng Empire turned out to be a spy of Xiaoshuang Kingdom. Not only did she liaise with the enemy country and secretly pass on information, she also secretly hired an assassin to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess...

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess is a good person and has not been poisoned.

However, this incident caused the tyrant Helian Jingxi to become furious, and he launched a purge of all family officials involved in the case.

This purge involved a wide range of people, and the number of officials involved in the case was the highest since Xuefeng founded the country. At least more than 100,000 people died tragically in this purge, which is known in history as the "Demon Concubine Case" ".

As for how many unjust and wrongful convictions there are in this purge, who cares?

Everyone only knows that after this purge, the family's strength has been greatly weakened, and no more open voices against Helian Jingxi can be heard in the court.

Even the dandy children of the aristocratic family who were accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, at this turbulent time, stayed behind closed doors, fearing that one day the butcher's knife would fall on their heads.

The Xuefeng Kingdom became peaceful in this strange environment, giving people a feeling that the storm was about to come.

Ten days later. Xuefeng Palace.

Helian Wenyu and Helian Jingxi looked at each other and laughed: "I didn't expect this plan to be so effective and catch so many big fish."

"Now, the imperial power has basically been consolidated. It can be said that since the founding of the country by Taizu, the imperial power has not been as stable and concentrated as it is now."

Helian Wenyu also breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the process was, at least the result was successful.

"Emperor brother, you didn't do anything to Xiao Yue, did you?" Helian Wenyu asked.

No matter what, Helian Wenyu still liked Xiao Yue as a friend.

Helian Jingxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Huang. On the surface, I have relegated her to the cold palace, but I have already ordered everyone to send her all the food, clothing, and supplies."

"It's like I moved her to a place where she can eat, drink and eat well, so that she can raise her baby with peace of mind."

Helian Wenyu nodded and said, "Then what are the emperor's plans next?"

Helian Jingxi smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the development of this matter is really beyond my expectation. I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. It's better for us to continue to use the plan and carry out this plan to the end..."

Helian Wenyu became interested and said, "Oh? How do you say it?"

It’s rare that the emperor’s younger brother actually uses his brain. It’s really strange...
