Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin Is Pregnant

75. Hunting Helian Chacha Down

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The sun had been already going down, and it sent the last warmth to the room through the window paper.

“Your Highness, you are a member of the royal family of Xuanyuan, so it is also your responsibility to restore the dignity of the royal family. Minister Feng has already chosen a perfect man to be your husband. Once you get married, those ministers will go back with you and restore the great power of the royal family of Xuanyuan!”

Manyue looked really serious, but Helian Chacha really had enough of it.

“For my husband? Restore the royal power? I don’t think it’s my thing.”

“You don’t need to do anything. You only need to marry the person chosen by Minister Feng and then prepare to be the empress.”

Manyue chose to tell her everything. Feng Tian was the only one who could compete with Wang Bucai, and he must have prepared really well after searching for Helian Chacha during the past four years.

“Empress?”

Helian Chacha’s pitch suddenly rose, but her mouth was covered by Manyue immediately.

According to the TV dramas, she knew that she had not returned to her home but just falling into another trap.

The emperor of Xuanyuan was still alive, but they expected her to be the empress. Wait, did that mean they were trying…

“You better just do what they tell you to do. In the Xuanyuan Kingdom, you can only rely on yourself for protection.”

After saying that, Manyue left the room. After all, Feng Tian had warned her before that she should not tell Helian Chacha about that at the moment.

“Manyue.”

Seeing that Manyue just walked out, the two at the door greeted her with respect.

“I was just having a rest in my own room. And it was you two who were taking care of the Princess.”

The gentleness on Manyue’s face had all gone, and the two kept their heads down immediately.

Looking back at the closed door, Manyue snorted secretly. Indeed, she admired the clever mind of Helian Chacha, but the one she was going to marry must be the one she really loved.

Soon, three days had passed, and Wang Bucai visited Linglong Pavilion almost every single day.

All of his sarcastic insults were handled by Mingyue for Helian Chacha.

Hence Helian Chacha started to count deeply on Manyue as time went by.

“Your Highness, this is the uniform the Imperial Tailor has just sent here. You are not wearing that one.”

Manyue was holding an official red uniform, despite that Helian Chacha’s face was full of disgust.

“Princess, all of the ministers above level 3 will attend the ceremony today with their wives. You don’t need to flex your muscles today.”

Seeing that Helian Chacha was holding a white dress so tight, Manyue really didn’t know how to persuade her.

At the dinner, the emperor of Xuanyuan was sitting at the top. However, what surprised Helian Chacha the most was that it was not any concubine sitting next to him but Wang Bucai.

“Linglong, you are here. Come on, sit next to me.”

Right beneath them, Concubine Yun was sitting at the main seat while looking at Helian Chacha with a big smile.

If you took a close look at her, you would notice that her smiley eyes were actually filled with coldness.

The woman on that seat surprised Helian Chacha a lot.

For three days, she had never stepped out of Linglong Pavilion, nor did anyone visit her. So all the information about Xuanyuan Kingdom she collected was from Manyue.

In her imagination, Concubine Yun was an aged woman who should be in her 30s if not 40s.

But the woman in front of her seemed to be younger than 25.

Helian Chacha came to Concubine Yun’s side blankly. Both of them were wearing red, but Concubine Yun looked way more powerful than Helian Chacha.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Wang Bucai nodded with satisfaction, and the way he looked at Helian Chacha was also mixed with some other kind of desire.

Feng Tian sat right across Concubine Yun, so he witnessed everyone’s reaction, and everything was the same as he had expected.

As long as Helian Chacha was obedient enough, he would take control of Xuanyuan Kingdom in a year.

“Your Majesty, Princess Linglong has been separated from you for many years because of the villain’s trap, and now she has returned to us. Shall we take this opportunity to let our princess impress us with her knowledge?”

Back then when Qiaoyan brought Xuanyuan Linglong with her to leave Ling Kingdom, she was framed by Concubine Yun after her death that it was she who sent out the rumors.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Princess could speak when she was only one month old, and she could already read after 6 months. I bet her knowledge is limitless right now.”

Wang Bucai said right after that, and the light in his eyes was even more obvious, which made Helian Chacha felt quite disgusted.

She had to find a way to leave Xuanyuan. As for the late empress, she believed that the ice-cold face could figure out a way to help her.

“Linglong, then please make a poem.”

The emperor of Xuanyuan looked quite tired, so he just waved at Helian Chacha randomly when he noticed that she looked just as bored as him.

All eyes were focused on Helian Chacha at this moment.

“Poems are so boring. If you are interested, I’d like to give you a puzzle.”

Helian Chacha stood up confidently. Anyway, there were two forces in the court now, if there was one against her, there must also be a group of people supporting her. Moreover, she was quite useful for Feng Tian at the moment.

“Hahaha, then please go ahead, Princess. Let’s test the talents of Xuanyuan now.”

Wang Bucai replied right away. Obviously, he was interested in what Helian Chacha had just proposed.

The emperor of Xuanyuan looked a bit embarrassed, but he also felt quite angry as the others were acting just as usual.

“It’s actually very simple. Just tell me, in this world, did the chicken or the egg come first?”

Helian Chacha looked around at them. This was already a cliché question in the 21st century, so it was definitely the best trick to fool those ancient people.

“Of course it was the chicken that came first. Where would the egg come from if there was no chicken?”

The second son of the Minister of Military stood up immediately as he thought he had just grabbed a chance to impress the rulers, yet he heard someone else saying,

“No. The egg came first. Otherwise, where did the chicken come from?”

The oldest son of the Minister of Rites stood up and refuted him. Obviously, the two came from the two forces respectively.

Seeing that the war had begun, Helian Chacha smiled and went back to her seat directly.

Since they wanted to see her losing dignity, she didn’t mind showing them how their own people looked like when they had an internal war.

“It’s been years and you are even smarter, Princess!”

Those people had already quoted almost all the classic literary works in history to win the arguement, so Helian Chacha was quite amused by it, but she now heard the creepy voice of Concubine Yun by her ear.

“Don’t embarrass me, Your Highness.”

She trembled a bit as she almost forgot there was an enemy right next to her when she was watching the show of the two armies on the court.

Miles away in the imperial palace of Ling Kingdom, Ye Shengxuan was looking at Zhuifeng standing in front of him again inside the Yangxin Hall.

“Now you know you were wrong?”

When they came back from the river town, he left Zhuifeng at the mountain to train him on how to survive among the wolves.

“I shouldn’t have decided it on my own. Please punish me, Your Majesty!”

Zhuifeng bowed his head, but he didn’t think it was wrong to hunt Helian Chacha. He only said that because he wanted to stay by Ye Shengxuan’s side.

“Humph!”

Zhuifeng was his own man, so Ye Shengxuan knew clearly what he was actually thinking.

“You go to Xuanyuan Kingdom right now and protect Concubine Xian. If she loses even one single hair, I will not see you again.”
