Chapter Ninety-Six: The Return of Military Power

The news of King Teng's death spread very quickly, and Helian had naturally heard about it, which was a good thing, but he was faintly worried.

Not only did the wolf king army suddenly lose its combat power, but also Jiang Jifeng was obviously poisoned by a sword to seal his throat, and there were two fatal wounds.

He was going to die, how could he have survived?

Helian glanced suspiciously at Si Nanyue, who was embroidering, and asked, "Nanyue, what do you think about the fact that the frontier soldier suddenly fell to the ground?"

After thinking about it, Si Nanyue said, "Many times people whisper about something, but in the end, it will be distorted, and the real truth can only be determined by seeing it with your own eyes."

"What if it's true?" Helian asked repeatedly.

Si Nanyue's hand holding the silver needle paused for a moment, "There are two possibilities, one is poisoning, but according to the tip, the possibility of poisoning more than 20,000 people at the same time is basically zero, and the second is ......."

She paused and asked, "Has Your Highness ever heard of Gu Magic?"

"Gujutsu?" Helian Jue was slightly stunned, "I heard a little."

"The art of witchcraft has always been mysterious, and I don't know much, but I've only heard of strange people manipulating others through Gu worms, and among them, those who are capable may be able to manipulate so many people at the same time."

For example, during the civil strife in Mobei, the person who suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly......

Helian Du glanced at Si Nanyue, his eyes were still vigilant, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "If there is really such a magician, how should I deal with it?"

"Your Highness, really I am an immortal?" She raised her eyes and looked at him with disgust, "Even in Mobei, where witchcraft is frequent, very few people can understand this thing, how do I know? If Your Highness sends someone to Mobei to investigate, there may be some clues."

Si Nanyue didn't give him a definite answer, but he was enough to make him believe her after she said Mobei, if Si Nanyue really had two hearts for herself, she wouldn't point out this direction.

The suspicion on his face gradually disappeared, and he scraped the tip of Si Nanyue's nose affectionately, "It's wrong again, this king is your husband, you and I have been married for many days, how can you still shout "Your Highness".

Si Nanyue's cheeks fluttered, she hung her head shyly, and was about to say something, but she felt a surge in her stomach, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran to the courtyard to retch.

"What's going on?" Helian Jue hurriedly chased after her and gently smoothed her back, could it be that she had eaten something unfresh in the past few days?

She straightened up with her stomach covered like a river and a sea, and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, it's just that I've been feeling a little sick in my stomach recently."

As she spoke, after rinsing her mouth with warm water, she intentionally or unintentionally wanted to drive Helian to leave, "It's past noon, doesn't Your Highness still have military affairs to deal with?"

Helian was a little worried, so before leaving, he sent the doctor to check the pulse, but before it was time for a stick of incense, a maid hurriedly came, and reported to him with a happy face: "Congratulations to Your Highness, the princess is happy!!"

"What?!" Helian Jue's dark eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? The doctor didn't diagnose the wrong pulse, did he?"

"Really! The princess is indeed happy, but the doctor told her that the princess is not in good health, so she should take care of it more carefully."

Helian Jue clenched his hands excitedly, and was just about to go to see Si Nanyue, when he suddenly stopped, the smile on his face sank, and his voice was not as joyful as Fang Cai.

"Princess...... How did she react?"

The maid thought about Si Nanyue's appearance at that time, and said, "Princess, she was a little surprised, and then ...... Then he told the slaves and maids to stand down, and said nothing else."

Helian was determined to tighten up, and a bad feeling came to his heart, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran to Chonghua Courtyard, pushing the door in, and when he pushed the door, Si Nanyue was holding a bowl of soup and medicine in his hand to drink.

"Can't drink it!"

He roared, took a few steps forward, and knocked the porcelain bowl in Si Nanyue's hand to the ground without saying anything.

With a "bang", the fragments of the porcelain bowl were scattered all over the ground, and when he raised his eyes again, there were tears in his eyes.

"Nanyue ......" Helian said her name decisively, slowly walked over to her, crouched down, and gently rested his head on her flat lower abdomen.

"Nanyue, this child is a gift from the Wolf King God, this king

You must keep him, Nanyue, many things in the past were wrong with this king, and this king owes you and will pay it back with his life, but the child is innocent, leave him behind, okay?"

He was almost pleading, his voice choked.

And Si Nanyue lowered her eyes, her gaze was like a blade shining with cold light, as if she wanted to dismember pieces of his body, but her answer was, "Okay."

"Really?" Helian Du clenched her hand, almost ecstatic.

He had completely forgotten that he was the master of the mansion, controlling everyone's life and death, and he didn't have to beg others.

Si Nanyue's hand was placed on her lower abdomen, and she said lightly, "Since His Highness wants to keep him, then just stay."

She looked so indifferent, as if the child was just an insignificant thing, but as long as she was willing to give birth, it was enough to make Helian decide.

He stepped forward and hugged her tightly, repeating, "Great...... That's great...... Nanyue, we finally have our own children......

Before he could calm down, a message came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the king orders you to enter the palace immediately without delay!"

Helian Jue woke up from his joy, he and Si Nanyue looked at each other, and knew that the time had come.

"Nanyue, this king has been planning for many years, and he has finally waited for this moment."

He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, but his tone still unconsciously quickened a lot.

"From the captivity of the Kretti clan, to the death of my mother, to the fact that he threw me to the frontier and ignored me for so many years, this king has always wanted to peel off his heart to see if he is really so ruthless, and now, this king is finally waiting for it!"

Helian Jue grabbed Si Nanyue's hand tightly, with a complicated expression.

Seeing him like this, Si Nanyue reminded, "The more it is in the end, the more critical it is, Your Highness must not be careless."

"Nature!" He stood up and placed a kiss on her forehead, "You and the child can wait for the king to return."

After saying that, Helian decided to stride away, and Si Nanyue suddenly called out to him: "Your Highness!"

"Huh?"

She raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were like an abyss, "Great things are about to come to pass, no matter what conditions the king proposes, you must not disobey the king's orders, just agree."

She said it strangely, and her tone was strange, it sounded like she was just reminding him, but when she thought about it, it was more like she was nodding him.

Helian could not afford to delay too long, he nodded hesitantly, and hurried to the palace.

The house was in a mess, the porcelain bowl was shattered, several maids were busy cleaning up, and after everyone had retreated, she didn't know how long she slept and was woken up by the person who came to deliver the fetal pills.

She asked the man to put the medicine on the table to dry in a daze, but heard a familiar voice say: "Brother Great Emperor is really careless, after ordinary people have a miscarriage and poisoning, they have to cultivate their bodies in a short period of time, not to mention the city lord, if they don't use some means, how can they get pregnant again so quickly."

Si Nanyue's body stiffened, and she suddenly opened her eyes to look, only to see that the guard who came to deliver the fetal pill uncovered the human skin/mask on her face, and it was actually Helian Qian.

Counting the time, it was indeed time for him to come and meet him.

Si Nanyue hid her surprised expression, coughed lightly, got up and said, "The medicine I used does have some effect on my body, but as long as I am pregnant now, I can save my life, if I am not pregnant, I am afraid that it will ...... I can't live tomorrow."

"That's right." Helian Qian put the fetal pill in Si Nanyue's hand, and he sat far away.

"It is your brother who recovers the lost territory, and it is your younger brother who attacks the frontier, if my father wants to return the military power to the eldest emperor, it is not difficult to guess the conditions offered, but depending on the current feelings of the eldest emperor's feelings for the city lord, he will not necessarily agree."

Si Nanyue looked at the bowl of fetal pills and couldn't help but smile mockingly: "Ha...... The reason why Helian decided to kill Ah Rishan despite his long-term relationship with Udoland was just to cut off his connection with the Kretti clan and win the trust of King Chiyuan, how could such a heartless person do something bad for a mere woman?"

On the other side, in the main hall of the royal palace......

Helian slammed his head on the cold Ten Sacred Stones, and begged again, "Please take back your father's fate!"

"It's just a woman, it's really worth it!"

King Chiyuan's face turned red, and he coughed a few times angrily, "Ahem, cough...... If it were an ordinary woman, Lonely would not force you like this, Si Nanyang and Si Nanchen are her siblings, and if you keep her, there will be a big mess sooner or later!"

Helian Duel's hand was clenched in his sleeve, and he was mentally prepared for Nanyue's words on the way, and probably guessed his father's thoughts, but he knew more clearly that he must not take half a step back in this matter, otherwise Nanyue's bones would not remain......

He still lowered his head to the dust, but his voice was extremely firm, "Just like my father's heart for Mrs. Xiyi, so is my son's retainer Yu Nanyue, besides, she is pregnant with her son's flesh and blood, and her son's retainer can't give her up for the sake of military power!"

"What? She's pregnant with your flesh and blood at this time?!"

King Chiyuan's annoyed forehead and green tendons burst out, he knew this, he shouldn't have relented for a while, and promised to let Si Nanyue marry into King Xiao's mansion!

Helian decided and said: "Father, if you want your sons to go out to quell the rebellion, your sons will not fail in their mission, because this is the duty of your sons as princes, but if the person who is causing the rebellion is Nanyue's blood relative, you will have to issue an order to kill her, and it will be difficult for your sons to obey!"

Hearing this, King Chiyuan's face became even more angry, and his tone was tense, as if faintly mixed with the undercurrent of the storm, "Since you are reluctant to kill her, then in these days when you are on your expedition, I will send Si Nanyue to the palace and take care of it for you."

Helian Duel's body stiffened, and when King Chiyuan saw that he didn't reply, his tone became more and more unkind, "Lone has already made concessions, King Xiao won't be reluctant to do it, right?" Or do you think that Lone will not believe in his words and kill Si Nanyue?!"

"Erchen don't dare! Everything is at the mercy of my father." Helian replied hurriedly that there was no better way at this time, and he could only respond first.

Seeing that his attitude was a little softer, King Chiyuan said again, "In that case, you will leave for the border early tomorrow morning, as for the generals...... Chiyuan has a total of 400,000 wolf king troops, and the original 100,000 guarded the seven cities, and now 130,000 have been transferred to quell the chaos in the five cities, and now there is no peace in many borders......

The external worries are very disturbing, if it is not for the helpless, he will not easily hand over the military power to the hands of King Xiao again.

King Chiyuan sighed heavily, "Mobilize 30,000 city guards to accompany you, this expedition is only allowed to succeed, not to fail!"

An imperceptible sneer flashed at the corner of Helian Duel's mouth, and then it was secretly hidden, and he hugged his fists and said, "Erchen obeys the holy decree!"
