Chapter 145 Helan Minzhi's Entrustment
As soon as he arrived at the Korean Lady's Mansion, Helan Minzhi came up when he heard the news and said with a smile: "Ziying, I really didn't expect that my aunt would let you stay in the palace for the night yesterday! I kept asking people to wait for you to leave the palace and I would pick you up immediately. I have a lot of things to talk to you for my brother! I've intercepted you so early, don't you have any opinions, right? Haha!"
"How dare you have an opinion, haha! Brother Changju, you called me so anxiously, what else should I explain?" When I came here yesterday, Chen Yi had been talking to Helan Minzhi for a long time, thinking that he had almost said everything he should say, only there was no mention of the marriage. Yesterday, Wu Zetian said that this was after Helan Minzhi left. Logically, Helan Minzhi should not know that Wu Zetian had told him about this. Chen Yi didn't know what this super handsome guy wanted to say to him.
"Let's talk inside!" Helan Minzhi greeted him!
"Brother Changju, please!"
As the two walked back to the living room while talking, Helan Minyue, who heard the sound, came out from inside.
Today, Helan Minyue wore a pink gauze skirt, perfectly highlighting her slender and tall figure. Although the feeling of bulging and curling back was not very obvious, it made people feel more and more pure. Her hair was simply tied without any powder. Her refreshing dress looked very pleasing to the eye. Thinking of what Wu Zetian said to him yesterday, and thinking that one day this beautiful little girl would become her wife, Chen Yi felt a sway in his heart, and endless tenderness surged up. He also turned this tenderness into a gentle look. Helan Minyue smiled.
Helan Minyue seemed to feel the strangeness in Chen Yi's eyes. She was stunned for a moment and then returned with a sweet smile, a little shy and a little surprised. She couldn't help but look at Chen Yi again, and her smile was still very sweet.
This smile was like the spring breeze, which made Chen Yi feel very comfortable, and even the feeling of "how sweet life is" suddenly surged into his heart.
Well, if I could live with such a woman who makes people feel very comfortable every day in the future, there would be a lot of romance under the moon and flowers. That would be a very happy thing.
After Helan Minyue smiled at Chen Yi again, she walked to Helan Minzhi and held his hand and said, "Brother, why did you call Ziying to the mansion early in the morning? You are not disturbing others' rest?"
Helan Minyue was a little curious, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her brother. At this time, most people should have just woken up shortly after they got up, and the sun was not high yet. Could it be that her brother went to the inn to drag Chen Yi over? She didn't know that Chen Yi stayed in the palace last night!
Seeing his sister like this, Helan Minzhi had to smile with her, "Minyue. Last night, Zi must be staying in the palace, and her aunt kept him inquiring about things. He left the palace early this morning and happened to be met by someone from our house, so he asked him to come here. Brother wants to talk to Ziying. Minyue, go and accompany your mother first!"
"No, Ziying and I haven't seen each other for several days. Yesterday he came and left in a hurry. I want to ask him some things!" Helan Minyue was reluctant. Yesterday, he learned about Chen Yi's life experience from Helan Minzhi. He had many things to ask him. To figure it out, today is a good opportunity. Helan Minzhi asked her to avoid it, how could she agree?
"Minyue, brother and Ziying talk about something between men. You don't have to listen. Otherwise, when we finish talking, you come over to talk to us. I guess Ziying wouldn't leave so quickly. We'll have lunch together later, and there are opportunities to say, okay?" Helan Minzhi never said anything serious to her sister and Xiang Huai. She would not even know anything to her in front of Chen Yi today, although he really doesn't want his sister to disturb him and talk to Chen Yi.
"Okay, then you guys talk first!" Helan Minyue looked at her brother, then looked at Chen Yi with a strange smile beside her, finally nodded, agreed, smiled at Chen Yi again, and then left gracefully after giving a gift.
After taking two steps, he turned around and smiled at his brother and Chen Yi, and deliberately made a face!
Helan Minzhi patted and watched Helan Minyue leave. Chen Yi was a little dazed and smiled and said, "Zi Ying, let's go to the study to talk!"
Chen Yi nodded, said nothing, and followed Helan Minzhi to the study.
There are several big trees near Helan Minzhi's study. Under the reflection of the big trees, it is quite cool all day, not to mention in the morning and summer, as long as you don't go to the village outside the city to escape the summer heat, or go to another place with the emperor, Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue are basically here. When you enter the book, Chen Yi saw an unfinished painting placed on the table. It was a picture of a lady. Most of them were completed, and only some details were not filled.
"Ziying, this is Minyue's work, how do you see?" Helan Minzhi smiled bitterly while being proud of it, "Minyue's paintings are much better than my brother!"
"Anyway, your calligraphy and paintings are better than me. Compared to you, I am very ashamed!" Chen Yi raised his head from Helan Minyue's unfinished painting and smiled at Helan Minyi, "I wonder if my brother sent someone to pick me up today, what important things should I give?"
Seeing Chen Yi ask, Helan Minzhi also put away his smile and signaled Chen Yi to sit down with him. After a short while of silence, he was not polite and said straight to the point: "Zi-yes, in a few days, Your Majesty and Your Aunt will go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, and let my mother and Minyue follow me. Although I don't want them to go, this is what Your Majesty meant, and Your Majesty did not object, so I can only agree..."
Seeing that Helan Minzhi asked about Li Zhi and Wu Shun, not about his marriage with Helan Minyue, Chen Yi had to be careful, "Does Brother Changju want me to do something?"
"I told my aunt that you would go to Jiucheng Palace too. Your Majesty's body still needs treatment. You have been treating Your Majesty for this period of time. It is the most appropriate to let you go," Helan Minzhi sighed and stared at Chen Yi: "Ziying, if you go to Jiucheng Palace, I have some things to ask you! I hope you must agree!"
"Brother Changju, don't you follow me?"
Helan Minzhi shook his head, "I won't go, I don't want to go, I still have a lot to deal with, I want to stay in Chang'an!"
"What does Brother Changju ask me to do?"
"I hope you can take good care of my mother and Minyue by then!" Helan Minzhi finished speaking and sighed softly.
"How do you say this?" The two of them did not publicly say about Wu Shun. Helan Minzhi said this today, which made Chen Yi a little confused!
Helan Minzhi looked up at the ceiling, was silent for a while, and then looked at Chen Yi and said, "Zi Ying, we hit it off at first sight, and we will lead you as a confidant. I won't hide some things from you. Today I will tell you some unspeakable things, just hope you can protect my mother, especially my sister, and you must not let her get into trouble! I am very worried when I go to Jiucheng Palace this time!"
"Brother Changju, what do you say, I'll listen!"
Helan Minzhi hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Zi Ying, I guess you have heard rumors about Your Majesty and my mother, right?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded, "I heard a little, but I didn't know the specific situation! If Brother Changju trusts me, can you tell me what happened? Maybe... maybe I can give you an idea!"
"Okay!" Helan Minzhi nodded, with a hint of sadness and anger on his face, and said slowly: "My father died when Minyue and I were young. My mother raised us alone. It was very hard, and she was often bullied by several uncles. Life was very hard. A few years ago, after my aunt became the queen, she sent someone to take us to Beijing. She originally thought that the hard life had ended, but she didn't expect that after she arrived in Chang'an, her mother caused trouble..." Helan Minzhi's face was filled with hatred and unwilling eyes. After pausing for a moment, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Auntie pity her mother's suffering, and often took her into the palace to talk. But I didn't know... My uncle-in-law fell in love with my aunt's appearance and coerced and seduced her. The poor mother could not get rid of it, so she had to obey and became the emperor's nameless and unfair relationship..."
Chen Yi remained silent and did not look at Helan Minzhi. He couldn't bear to see the painful twisted expression on Helan Minzhi's face. He could understand the humiliation in the heart of this super handsome guy, and even more because he knew that this matter was not that simple. Helan Minzhi would definitely talk about Helan Minyue's affairs next, which was what he cared about the most. He hoped that Helan Minzhi could tell everything, and he would also talk about the countermeasures he had thought of!
"My uncle-in-law is not satisfied with this. After getting his mother's body, he was not satisfied. He coveted the beauty of my sister Helan Minyue and wanted to make an idea of her!" When he said this, Helan Minzhi was already gritting his teeth in hatred, and the anger on his face could no longer be hidden, and he was fully revealed: "He also discussed with his mother that if his sister enters the palace, he would give him a name, this thing that is worse than a beast!"
Helan Minzhi finally ended his unbearable narrative with a scolding, and his handsome face was distorted.
Chen Yi knew this history. Although what Helan Minzhi said just now was not very detailed, even if Helan Minzhi didn't say it, he knew these things and understood the dissatisfaction and anger that his mother and sister were both attracted by a man. He knew that if it were him, he would not agree with such things. Even if the emperor was the one who beat his sister and mother, who would want his mother and sister to be lovers and have no status? What's more, he knew that Wu Shun and Helan Minyue died miserably in history and were killed by Wu Zetian!
There seemed to be anger in Helan Minzhi's eyes, and he turned to Chen Yi, "Zi Ying, if you can go to Jiucheng Palace, you can get close to the emperor and his aunt at any time. You have a way to stop the emperor from getting close to my mother, let alone let him get involved in my sister. I know that the emperor asked his mother and sister to go there just to attack them. I can't let him succeed! Never!"
"Brother Changju, I don't know if I can stop this, nor do I know if I can go to Jiucheng Palace, but if I have the chance, I will definitely stop it!" Chen Yi agreed to Helan Minzhi's instructions without any hesitation! (To be continued)
