The two brothers of the Helian family escaped death. During this trip to Dayu Kingdom, they encountered six assassination attempts and finally returned to Liangxia Kingdom alive.

The price was that Helian Zheng's arm was seriously injured and he was stabbed in the waist. Helian Chen's leg was also broken when he fell off a cliff during the last round of assassination.

Among the guards brought with them, except for the three guards of the You generation who were seriously injured, all the others died on the way. This trip was considered a heavy loss.

"Mother, oooo, my legs hurt so much!"

When Helian Chen was carried into the palace by the guards, he saw Concubine Min crying miserably with tears and snot streaming down her face. Qin Min felt so distressed that she immediately burst into tears.

"Chen'er, don't cry. Mother will definitely heal your leg."

"What the hell is going on? How do you take care of your brother!?"

Qin Min immediately stepped forward to wipe the tears of her precious son, while glaring at Helian Zheng. She secretly hated those who had attacked her precious son, and regretted her decision a little. Why did she leak the news? Otherwise, Chen'er would not have been injured.

Helian Zheng lowered his head, and the tears in his eyes were forced back by him. He laughed at himself again, "Yeah, what are you expecting? Isn't this a normal thing? What are you expecting!"

He raised his head again with a perfectly guilty look on his face. Regardless of how serious his back injury was, he immediately knelt down and said, "Please punish me, mother. I didn't take good care of my brother!"

"Mother, don't blame my second brother. If it weren't for my second brother taking care of me along the way, I would have missed seeing you a long time ago, wuwu!"

"Mother, my second brother was also injured. It's all because of me. Next time I will never sneak out again. It's all my fault, not my second brother's!"

When Helian Chen saw his mother's gloomy face, he quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that his mother treated his second brother very strictly, even to the point of being harsh.

"Since your brother pleaded for you, let's forget about it this time. Go back and remember to see the imperial physician."

Qin Min looked at Helian Zheng who was still kneeling on the ground and suppressed her anger. She also knew that she had to give this boy some face in front of her precious son, as she was counting on him to help her son clear obstacles in the future.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, mother. I will take my leave now!"

Helian Zheng endured the piercing pain from the wound on his waist and stood up after bowing with difficulty. When he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he turned back inadvertently and saw his mother wiping Helian Chen's tears with a look of heartache on her face. She gritted her teeth, turned around and strode away.

After walking out of the palace, Helian Zheng raised his head. The sunlight was still as dazzling as before, but his eyes felt a little sore. He couldn't remember how many times he had expected it, but it was always disappointed. In the end, it was all just wishful thinking.

"Ah! Let me out! I want to find my child!"

"My child! Mom is here, don't be afraid! Ah!!!!"

A shrill female voice suddenly reached Helian Zheng's ears, and he suddenly woke up. He realized that he had unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the cold palace, where the queen of Liangxia Kingdom was imprisoned.

It's strange. Everyone said that the queen was crazy. If her father was so cold-hearted, he should have gotten rid of such a crazy queen without anyone noticing. How come she was taken care of carefully for so many years and was not deposed?

You know, it is very normal for someone to die in the harem. What's more, there was no one left in the queen's maternal family. It was said that all of them died in a fire. This caused the pregnant queen to have difficulty in delivery and give birth to a dead baby after hearing the news. From then on, she became crazy and abnormal, and was finally locked up in the cold palace.

"Greetings, Second Prince. Please go back. His Majesty does not allow anyone to approach the cold palace!"

Helian Zheng wanted to get closer to see what the shrill scream was about, but he was stopped by the guards guarding the door of the cold palace after taking a few steps.

"What's going on here? Is mother like this every day?"

Because their father has not yet deposed the queen, these princes still have to respectfully call the queen "mother".

"Your Highness, please go back. I don't know what to do!" The guard said and saluted Helian Zheng again.

Helian Zheng knew that his father must have issued a gag order, and he would not be able to find out anything, so he nodded and left the cold palace.

You know, people are curious. The more they don't want others to know about something, the more curious they will be. Helian Zheng pressed the wound on his waist and decided to wait until his wound got better before taking a look at what was going on in the cold palace.

Every adult prince of Liangxia Kingdom has his own residence outside the palace, so as long as the prince is over the age of sixteen, he is not allowed to stay in the palace, unless there are special circumstances and he has to report to the Emperor of Liangxia in advance before he can stay overnight in the palace.

In addition to him and Helian Chen, his father had three other sons, namely the eldest prince Helian Qi, born to the late Concubine Xian, the third prince Helian Lei, born to Concubine Qing, and the fifth prince Helian Xun, born to Concubine Wen. All of them lived outside the palace.

I don’t know if these six assassinations were all carried out by these three brothers, but it is very likely that they are related to these three people. We still have to investigate it thoroughly!

The fact that the two princes were killed in the Dayu Kingdom was eventually known to the Liangxia Emperor Helian Xiuhan. When he was happy that he had finally found an excuse to start a war, all his fantasies were shattered by a secret letter.

The Dayu Kingdom actually developed explosives and also found the gold mine buried by the former royal family of the Liangxia Kingdom in the Daqing Mountains.

"Wow!"

Helian Xiuhan transformed into a desk cleaning master and overturned the desk as well.

"Tell our people to keep investigating. I want to know who developed this explosive!" Helian Xiu Han waved his hand, and the man in black standing beside him immediately disappeared.

He couldn't help but have a headache. He had thought that he could quickly use explosives to crush Dayu's expansion of territory and let the old ministers of Liangxia know that he was able to sit on the throne by relying on his own ability, and not by killing the king in an unjustifiable way. Now all his plans were overturned.

Helian Xiuhan couldn't help but get angry and pulled out the cowhide whip he carried with him and walked quickly to the cold palace. Fang Hewen, the chief eunuch of Liangxia Kingdom, who was following behind him, was worried about the queen in the cold palace.

In the cold palace, a woman dressed in white, with a quiet and elegant temperament, was sitting in front of a bronze mirror and combing her hair with a wooden comb. The door of the cold palace was kicked open from the outside, but the woman was still sitting motionless in front of the bronze mirror, with no intention of turning back.

Until someone grabbed her neck, lifted her up and threw her on the bed.

"Hey, who has offended our emperor again? Let's get started!"

The white-clothed woman's voice was cold and contained a hint of disdain, and she looked firmly at Helian Xiu Han, whose face was filled with anger.

Helian Xiu Han felt embarrassed as if he saw himself being stripped of his clothes in public like a clown in the woman's eyes.

After just a moment of distraction, the woman was greeted with a whip. She didn't make a sound until her body was covered in blood. There was still contempt in her eyes, as if she was mocking Helian Xiu Han for having only this little ability.

The two looked at each other, one was cold and distant with contempt, the other was glaring with a hint of imperceptible affection, and in the end it was the latter who fled.

"When will the day dawn?" The woman in white got up with difficulty and sighed, then sat down in front of the bronze mirror to comb her hair.
