Chapter 319, Helenke
Including Helian Ke, everyone trembled like chaff at this time.
They thought that this Wei Emperor was a benevolent and righteous monarch, after all, when the Wei army passed through Dongcheng, they didn't do anything to the civilians, but at this time they felt that they were probably thinking too much. Emperors in troubled times, there is no one who is bloodless.
Helian Ke had actually heard about Tan Zhaoyu. But as the unique princess of Xia Kingdom, her former pride made her very disdainful of people from Tan Zhaoyu's background.
Therefore, although Tan Invite Yu was "house arrested" in the Xia Palace for many days, Helian Ke never thought of taking a look at this immortal concubine.
At this time, the people in the Wei Palace did not know that it was this immortal who helped them to open the city gate and let the Wei army enter the city. Therefore, as soon as Tuoba Tao asked, some people immediately shook out all the possible speculations, thinking that Tuoba Tao was going to arrest Tan Zhaoyu to ask for the guilt.
However, Helian Ke was very keenly aware of the subtle unusualness from Emperor Wei's title of Tan Invite Yu as the "Heavenly Maiden".
Her heart was like electricity, and in the midst of all kinds of uncertainty, she chose to trust her instincts and fight once.
"Your Majesty Emperor Wei," Helian Ke's trembling but sweet voice finally sounded, she raised her face, and looked at Tuoba Tao with a beautiful but sad face, "Although this palace does not have much contact with this celestial maiden, but as a woman, this palace is well aware of the last resort of many women, whether she has helped our dynasty or not, she should also obey orders." If so, please ask Emperor Wei to punish her lightly. ”
Helian Ke said very tactfully, as if he was helping Tan Yuyu speak, and as if he was pleading for himself who was also a woman. For the sake of insurance, she also deliberately emphasized that she did not have much contact with Tan Zhaoyu, in case she guessed Emperor Wei's mind wrong, but blocked the only way to survive.
Tuoba Tao seemed to have noticed Helenke's appearance at this time, and then looked her up and down as if playfully.
Tuoba Tao vaguely remembered that Emperor Xia Helianchang was known as a beautiful man in the north, and Helianke, the princess of Fufeng who had the same father and mother as him, naturally inherited the beauty of his parents, and gave birth to an impeccable face and a pair of eyes like autumn water.
Even Tuoba Tao has to admit that this princess is really worthy of the nickname of "Pearl of Great Xia".
It is said that the crown prince of Western Qin begged for the twilight to visit the princess several times in the name of an envoy. has become a well-known "minister under the skirt" in the Northland.
It's just that this princess's fief is in Fufeng, which is separated from Chang'an, such an important position, no matter which Xia Emperor is, it is impossible to make it a dowry and marry with the princess.
Therefore, all the people in the Xia Dynasty who have a good status are eager to send their children of the right age to the princess. And those men, who had seen Helenke at a glance, were willing to give everything for her, even if they were called face-to-face.
Over time, the affair between this princess Helenke and various princes and nobles became more than the cattle and horses on the grassland.
Although Tuoba Tao had no intention of becoming the princess's new admirer, he really couldn't show much anger when he looked at Helian Ke's delicate and smart face.
Hearing Helian Ke's intercession for Tan Yuyu, Tuoba Tao not only had a little more affection for this princess, he softened his tone and said, "The princess should first seek self-preservation, and then think about others."
When Helian Ke heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and tears swirled back and forth in a pair of bright eyes, as if he was holding back to prevent tears from falling. Chu Chu's pitiful expression and strong slender waist made all the men present tighten their throats, and they couldn't help but want to step forward to protect her.
Tuoba Tao coughed uncomfortably, turned his head and instructed his guard, "Go and release the letter cigarette, if she is in the city, she will definitely come to meet." ”
Helian Ke maintained a soft neck line and slowly lowered her head, she knew that she had made the right bet! But a hint of jealousy rose in her heart. She didn't understand, why did Emperor Wei still think about other women after seeing her face? Could it be that this fairy is more beautiful than her?
Helian Ke was in a trance, when he heard a voice at the door of the main hall behind him, "Your Majesty, Mulan asks to see you." ”
Tuoba Tao raised his head slightly and said, "Come in." ”
Hua Mulan carried the horse lance in one hand, and dragged a chamberlain who was supposed to have fainted with the other, and strode into the hall.
When the two passed by Helian Ke, Helian Ke couldn't help but peek at the chamberlain, and then exclaimed with a snow-white face, "Brother Huang?!" ”
Hua Mulan heard Helian Ke's cry but did not pause, walked in front of Tuoba Tao and threw Helian Chang, who had fainted, to the ground, and then knelt down on one knee and said: "On the way to search the city wall of Dongcheng, my subordinates encountered a group of chamberlains and guards, and when they saw that they were behaving suspiciously, they wanted to catch and interrogate. The man dressed as an attendant was about to run away at that time, and his subordinates had no choice but to knock the person unconscious. ”
Hua Mulan stretched out her hand and took off the hat of the chamberlain on Helian Chang's head, and continued: "Later, in order to protect himself, there was an inner servant who confessed that this person was Helian Chang, the Xia Emperor. The subordinates didn't dare to delay, so they brought people first. ”
Tuoba Tao raised his eyebrows, the order he gave to Mulan when he entered the city was to destroy the plaque of "Zhaowei Gate", but Mulan was Helian Chang who was found when searching the city wall of Dongcheng.
There are subtle discrepancies in this, Tuoba Tao doesn't want to say it, and Mulan also indirectly vaguely past. Fortunately, Mulan's good advocacy allowed her to catch Helianchang, and it can be regarded as making up for it.
At this time, Helian Ke rushed up desperately, shook Helian Chang's shoulder, and cried helplessly, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, wake up, wake up." You can't leave Ke'er alone...... Ke'er is so scared, Ke'er is really scared, you wake up, you save Ke'er......"
Tuoba Tao frowned and glanced at Helian Ke, and instructed the guard, "Pull her down." It's a headache. ”
After Tuoba Tao finished speaking, he wanted to go up to check on Helian Chang, but was suddenly stopped by Mulan.
Hua Mulan didn't seem to see Tuobatao's suddenly gloomy face, and confessed, "My subordinates were negligent, and I didn't have time to ......search him after I knocked him unconscious," Mulan didn't know how to explain that she didn't want to touch the body of a strange man.
Hearing this, Tuoba Tao's face turned slightly pale, and he said to a guard next to him, "You go and search." ”
The guard received the order, and as soon as his feet moved, Helian Chang, who had already fainted, rose from the ground, and he didn't know when there was an extra dagger in his hand.
Helian Chang's eyes were red, and he slammed into the air around him like crazy. Then he turned to Tuoba Tao and said viciously, "Tuoba Tao, you shameless villain!" You rely on a woman to put a trap on me and trick me into opening the city gate, you can't win! It's kind of like we're fighting with real guns! ”
