Chapter 420 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 38
Helian Yin felt wronged and depressed at home, but remained decisive and efficient outside.
Despite the current tense situation, the important matters that the central government needs to address are still being handled without delay.
He doesn't care about intrigues and schemes, and he can't be bothered with petty squabbles, but if they delay important matters, he really dares to kill!
After attending a morning court session without the emperor's participation, Helian Yin prepared to go home for comfort, but was warmly stopped by the Second Prince.
After receiving Helian Yin's reply, the Second Prince, though still wary of Helian Yin, felt that their relationship had changed.
Now that the Imperial Uncle is one of our own, we should naturally get closer to him and make him feel valued.
The second prince, speaking in a secretive tone as if conspiring with his advisors, asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what exactly is going on with the fifth prince?"
Helian Yin glanced at him.
The second prince stammered guiltily, "Royal...Royal Uncle?"
Helian Yin withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I don't know."
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief and was satisfied.
He felt that Helian Yin had made his stance clear: no matter how much he knew or whether he had evidence, they were now all in the same boat, and he would not reveal that he had poisoned her.
Very sincere!
So the second prince sincerely assured him, "Uncle, rest assured, I will have someone take good care of Miss Jiang and will not mistreat her."
Then she handed him another token, a gold bracelet that Jiang Yunyan always wore on her wrist. "Uncle, Miss Jiang asked me to give this to you."
Helian Yin was very disgusted, but he remained expressionless and did not reach out to take it.
The second prince carefully examined his expression but couldn't discern anything, though he would figure it out himself.
Helian Yin knew that he had poisoned the Fifth Prince, so it was normal that he wouldn't dare to accept anything from him. He didn't force him.
At this moment, a young eunuch rushed over in a hurry. When he got closer, he suppressed his impatience and bowed respectfully, "This servant greets the Regent and His Highness the Second Prince."
The second prince waved his hand and said, "Get up, what is it?"
The young eunuch glanced at Helian Yin, and the Second Prince said, "The Imperial Uncle is one of our own."
Even if he didn't completely trust Helian Yin, he had to make his stance clear, and he could guess what it was about. Helian Yin wouldn't mind listening to it.
The young eunuch leaned closer and whispered, "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is dead."
The Second Prince wasn't surprised; he knew perfectly well that he had poisoned himself. The Fifth Prince deserved to die.
He turned to look at Helian Yin, "Royal Uncle?"
The Fifth Prince is dead; they should do something about it.
Helian Yin lowered his eyes indifferently and said, "Someone will come to discuss this with you."
The second prince indicated that he understood, and that it was indeed not appropriate to discuss the conspiracy at this time.
Helian Yin's attitude was satisfactory to him. The Second Prince left first, satisfied, and he needed to prepare for what would happen next.
After the second prince left, the young eunuch also bowed and took his leave, but as he did so, he whispered, "Your Highness, the one in the Cold Palace has just given birth to a prince."
This is good news for Helian Yin.
A prince who was just born and knew nothing, and whose maternal family had no influence, probably wouldn't have been able to be born safely if it weren't for Helian Yin secretly protecting him.
A perfectly crafted puppet.
Now that everything is ready, we can speed things up.
*
The Second Prince said he would have someone take good care of Jiang Yunyan, and he really did.
But Jiang Yunyan was not feeling well.
She was covered in wounds, lying on the bed, barely alive, tormented by pain to the point of being neither human nor ghost, her eyes filled with deep gloom.
She felt a little relieved after learning that the Fifth Prince was dead.
Although the plan to use the Fifth Prince to deal with Jiang Yunqing could not be realized, the death of the Fifth Prince could at least relieve her hatred.
If it weren't for the Fifth Prince, her relationship with Helian Yin in her previous life wouldn't have been so tumultuous.
She would naturally follow the marriage agreement and marry him. Although she was afraid of him at first, she would naturally realize how good Helian Yin was to her after spending more time together.
They will grow old together in love and live a happy life, instead of the three of them dying with resentment.
She will not be reborn, having endured so much suffering, only to drift further and further away from him.
After the brief moment of relief, the resentment in her heart did not lessen. After all, she was in such a miserable state, how could she not hate?
The Fifth Prince was dead, so all the resentment she had in her previous life and this life was transferred to Yun Qing.
Jiang Yunqing has caused her so much suffering, she must make her suffer a hundred times more than she did, otherwise her hatred will never be satisfied!
In order to save her, Helian Yin agreed to help the Second Prince seize the throne, which was very similar to how he was willing to support the Fifth Prince to ascend the throne for her sake in his previous life.
He must have awakened his memories from his previous life!
Jiang Yunyan's thinking is based on evidence.
Based on her understanding of Helian Yin, if he wasn't too concerned about her and worried about her safety, and was only curious about her past life, he could have easily sent someone to rescue her without hesitation.
Instead of being so cautious and constrained by others.
Whether Helian Yin genuinely wanted to help the Second Prince or was merely playing along, she couldn't think of any other reason why he was going to such lengths for her safety.
?
The outside world's turmoil didn't affect Yun Qing much. She continued to eat, drink, and be happy, but she obediently stayed home and waited for the storm to pass.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Why should she go out and become a target when she could stay at home and enjoy good food and drink?
Helian Yin, on the other hand, felt sorry for her. He had been busy lately and couldn't spend much time with her. Fearing she would be bored at home, he had people prepare many delicious and fun things for her, and new novels would be delivered to her residence as soon as they were published.
Then it was Helian Yin's turn to feel wronged.
Yun Qing held a storybook and read it by lamplight, while Helian Yin sat alone in his empty bed, his face full of sorrow.
"Qingqing, are storybooks as interesting as me?"
Yun Qing said without looking up, "If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'll sleep after I finish reading."
Helian Yin stared at her for a while, then finally couldn't stand it anymore. He got out of bed, walked over, and snatched the book from her hand. "What's the point of just reading? You have to experience it for yourself to have fun."
He glanced at the contents of the storybook. "The wedding night? Perfect for us."
Before Yun Qing could retrieve her storybook, Helian Yin had already snatched her away.
Yun Qing was carried to the bedside by him, kicking her legs in frustration and punching him twice. "What wedding night! That's adultery! I'm waiting to see the scene of catching them in the act! Can't you wait until I'm done watching?"
Helian Yin placed her on the bed, leaned down and kissed her, "What's so interesting about catching someone in the act? I'll show you in our bridal chamber!"
Yun Qing: ...
"Who wants to see you!"
"Huh? Then why are you pulling on my belt?"
Yun Qing closed her eyes and said confidently, "Just because I made it up doesn't mean I'll watch it!"
Helian Yin reached out and grabbed her hand, pressing it against his body. He said good-naturedly, "Then touch it."
"I won't... you pervert!"
……
Exhausted from all the commotion, Yun Qing lost all interest in reading the storybook. Nestled in Helian Yin's arms, she yawned and lazily asked, "Does the Emperor still not know that the Fifth Prince is dead?"
Helian Yin stroked her hair gently, his voice languid.
"The Empress Dowager is determined to keep it a secret, probably because she's afraid the Emperor will be furious. But the Empress is determined to bring the matter to the Emperor's attention and seek justice for her son. Parents all over the world are heartbroken, so I've decided to help the Empress."
Yun Qing was drowsy and didn't know if she understood what he said. With her eyes closed, she mumbled incoherently, "You're such a good person."
Helian Yin smiled and kissed her, then immediately ordered someone to do this good deed, completely satisfied.
So, while he was embracing Yunqing and having a good night's sleep, in the palace, the emperor suddenly became so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, which frightened the empress dowager and the empress into a panic.
The imperial physicians stayed up all night, trembling with fear.
The palace servants were extremely cautious, not daring to utter a sound.
The entire palace was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.
