”Master, this is the only way to deal with the matter of the Western Kingdom, right?”
Hua Long had only come here to check the pulse of Helian Xuan Yi routinely. Who knew that he would directly pull him up to chat about some unfathomable matter?
”I say, your majesty, I really can't keep up with the leaps of your words. Besides, I'm just a doctor, how can I understand the big affairs of a country?”
Although Hua Long was an imperial physician, as a teacher of the crown prince, how could he not understand the political situation of the court? He was just too lazy to worry about it; the disciples he taught couldn't possibly be too terrible.
Besides, the current appearance of Helian Xuan Yi was obviously just a casual question, there was no need for anyone to answer.
”Master, are Yuan'er's injuries really alright?” How about you, old lady, go out of the palace and help her take a look at her injuries? ”
Helian Xuan Yi rarely asked anyone, and showing weakness to his master this time was also very rare. But now, he didn't even know what the situation was for the woman he liked. Not only did he miss her, he was also very worried.
”Oh, you're talking about that little girl. There's nothing wrong with her body, so you don't have to worry.”
How could Hua Long not see what his disciple was thinking? It was just that the little girl was very stubborn. She was willing to leave even if it meant harming him. His disciple would definitely go through a lot of troubles.
Helian Xuan Yi originally wanted to say something, but a eunuch actually brought the news of Hou Mansion on fire.
”If Hou Mansion is on fire, then is there anyone injured? Just what happened? Tell me quickly!”
Hua Long looked at his disciple's anxious expression and smiled, then shook his head. He was clearly a very calm child, but why was he so stupid now!
”Your majesty, if you ask him, he won't be able to explain. How about you go with this old subject to the house of the Marquis and take a look. If someone is injured, then this old official can also help out.”
Hua Long's words really went with Helian Lie's heart. He didn't even bother changing his clothes and directly ran out.
When they walked to the manor, the traces of a great fire were still there. Seeing that a portion of Cheng Zi Yuan's courtyard had also been burnt, Helian Profound Wing immediately became nervous.
”Sir Cheng, I don't know if anyone was injured in the fire this time, or why it caught on fire for no reason at all. We need to investigate this properly.”
After earnestly saying such words, Cheng Huai naturally knew what Helian Xuan Yi was thinking. It was just that this matter was clearly caused by his own children. If the Emperor were to interfere in the investigation, it wouldn't be good.
”Your majesty has troubled too much. No one in the manor was injured, and the cause of the fire was carelessly caused. This humble subject has already investigated, don't worry your majesty.”
Because Cheng Huaiye had been helping the Xuan Wings of Helian, he did have some objections in the imperial court. After all, the new emperor had just ascended the throne, so some of the old officials were not too happy about it.
”If that's the case, then forget it. I'll let the Ministry of Work worry about Cheng Aiqing's building. They will take care of all the burdens.”
Speaking to this point, Helian Xuan Wing actually didn't have the intention to leave, so Cheng Huai could only do something to urge him to stay.
”Your majesty, since you're already here, why not have a meal here. Although the Hou Mansion is simple and crude, there are still a few capable chefs. Your majesty, why not have a taste of them?”
”Alright, since my beloved one has spoken thus, I'll have a taste of the cooking skills of the chefs of the house of the Marquis.”
Helian Xuanyin, who originally wanted to stay behind, readily agreed. Moreover, due to his haste, there weren't many people from the house of the Marquis who came to receive the emperor. Most importantly, Cheng Ziyuan wasn't here at all.
When it was time for dinner, Cheng Zi Yuan walked out of the embroidery building. The body that came here was clearly more compatible with his own. Especially after she protected the building, the body basically became his.
When it was time to eat, Helian Xuanyin ate happily. Perhaps there were some people she could arrange for Cheng Zi Yuan to sit beside him.
”Yuan, I wonder if you're well or not. The imperial physician came with us today, so we might as well have him take a look for you later.”
Cheng Zi Yuan didn't even know how to respond to the Helian Profound Wings. In her world, besides being a superior, it was a mission. However, she didn't know how to locate the Helian Profound Wings.
Assassins did not have any unnecessary feelings, but to her, the Helian Profound Wings were too special. It was so special that she could only feel at ease if she wanted to desperately escape.
”Thank you for your concern, your majesty. Zi Yuan is fine now.”
When he heard her cold tone, Helian somewhat felt depressed. He had just seen her joy poured cold water over like this. Thus, the atmosphere of the dinner began to turn cold.
Liu Fangfei and Cheng Jun had never seen such a scene before. Seeing that Helian Xuan Yi had always regarded Zi Yuan as one, they started to guess their relationship, but no matter what, they did not dare to do anything to Helian Xuan Yi.
”Yuan, don't …”
Before he even finished speaking, the arrow had already flown straight towards Helian Xuan Yi. Due to the sharp senses of the killer, Cheng Zi Yuan had almost no reaction time as he grabbed the arrow with one hand, and at this moment, the arrow was less than a centimeter away from Helian Xuan Yi's chest.
”Protect the emperor!”
Cheng Huaiye's cold sweat immediately dripped down. He really did not think that there would be someone who would assassinate Helian Xuanyi in the Marquis' Mansion.
