At the same time, Mrs. Helian, who was unaware that her most beloved son had become a eunuch, was waiting for her daughter in Concubine Lian's palace. However, Concubine Lian was not in the palace at this time. She waited for a long time before her daughter came back.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Concubine Lian."

"Mother, please get up quickly. There are no outsiders in my palace, so there is no need to greet them. Why would you suddenly come to my palace so late at night? Did something happen?"

Helian Hui quickly helped her mother up, and they sat together on the couch.

Madam Helian spoke up, "It's about your fifth brother. He's fallen in love with a beautiful woman today. I beg you, his sister, to give her to him."

"Brother, doesn't he already have ten concubines? Who has he taken a fancy to this time?" Helian Hui was a little impatient. Even the most powerful family could not act so willfully. The Holy Emperor had not held a beauty pageant for the past two years, but her useless brother had already got ten concubines.

Madam Helian also noticed her daughter's dissatisfaction and hurriedly took her hand to assure her, "Your brother has said this time that he will marry this last one. From now on, you should concentrate on helping your father with his work."

This made Helian Hui suddenly happy. "Really? Mother, tell me whose daughter is so charming that she can win the heart of my philandering fifth brother?"

Madam Helian paused and said, "This person is in the harem. It's Yun Suyue who just entered the palace to meet the emperor yesterday."

"It's her!" Helian Hui narrowed her eyes fiercely. She had never seen Yun Suyue, but she had heard of her like thunder. Her spies reported the abandoned woman as soon as she entered the palace. She had no choice but to go directly to the Empress Dowager's palace.

Later, the Holy Emperor also went there and stayed inside for several hours before coming out. No one knew what they were plotting, but they didn't even let her in.

She suspected that the Queen Mother's inexplicable punishment of her yesterday must have something to do with that bitch Yun Suyue.

"Oh great, it's her." Helian Hui suddenly pursed her red lips and told Mrs. Helian about the punishment she received yesterday, adding some extraneous details.

Madam Helian immediately concluded, "It must have been that bitch who did it. Her man doesn't want her anymore, so she relies on her seductive face to come to the palace to harm the Holy Emperor.

I don't know what she said to the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor, asking her to punish you and tell them that bitch must not stay in the palace. My daughter, you must find a way to make this marriage happen.

As long as Yun Suyue enters our Helian family, her life and death will no longer be hers. We will decide how and when you want to vent your anger."

Helian Hui curled her lips in satisfaction, as if she had already seen the scene of Yun Suyue being beaten and bruised, naked, crying and begging her, "Mother is right, I will go to see the Holy Emperor and ask him to grant me marriage. But..."

She changed the subject and looked at her mother and said, "But she lives in the Empress Dowager's palace, which is difficult to deal with. Besides, I want to find out if Yun Suyue has any other business in the imperial city this time, besides returning the blank imperial edict and treating the Empress Dowager's illness?"

Mother, I always feel that Yun Suyue is just a woman, and the daughter of a merchant. The Yun family’s former glory is long gone. If she enters the palace at this time, something big must happen. I feel a little uneasy.

and···"

Her mother was almost dying of anxiety, "And what? Tell me quickly."

Helian Hui frowned and said, her tone was relaxed, "And it seems that the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor are very fond of Yun Suyue, because when I was punished to kneel yesterday, several princes heard that Yun Suyue was as beautiful as a flower, and they all wanted to see her.

Several princes wanted to go in under the pretext of visiting the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother sent word that Yun Suyue had been traveling all the way and had fallen asleep, and not even a single prince was allowed in.

You said she was just a merchant's daughter, an abandoned woman, and yet the Queen Mother protected her so much. It seems that this is something extraordinary. If I go to ask the Holy Emperor to grant me a marriage and it fails, Mother will go back and persuade my fifth brother not to mention this matter again. I am afraid it will bring disaster to the Helian family."

It has to be said that Helian Hui was not in the palace for nothing, as she had already smelled the danger.

"Okay." Mrs. Helian also felt something unusual after hearing this and nodded repeatedly.

Helian Hui asked the palace maid to bring some snacks to the imperial study, but the Holy Emperor refused to even see her. On the way back, she heard the palace maids whispering, praising Yun Suyue for her superb medical skills, which had alleviated the empress dowager's illness and made her as lively and active as an 18-year-old girl.

But she was frightened and immediately winked at her personal maid and went straight back to the palace.

"How is it? Did the Holy Emperor agree?" Madam Helian asked anxiously.

Helian Hui shook her head repeatedly, "No, the Holy Emperor doesn't want to see his daughter at all. I've asked Fuqiu to find out, and we'll know soon."

Soon, Fuqiu returned. "My Lady, what the palace maids said is true. The Empress Dowager has recovered a lot. She started practicing her health-preserving sword this morning. She went to see her newborn great-grandson at noon. She had lunch and chatted with the Empress who had come. After a half-hour nap in the afternoon, she went to work on her private garden. She is in amazing health."

"What?" Helian Hui was horrified and immediately rushed her mother home. "Mom, please go back. My daughter's suspicion is correct. Something must have happened. I don't know what it is."

She didn't dare tell her mother what she had done.

Madam Helian thought her daughter had not been favored by the Holy Emperor recently, so she did not dare to stay any longer and hurried back.

As soon as she left, Helian Hui sent Fuqiu, "Quick, take this palace's token and leave the palace immediately to find a way to kill Teng Yan and destroy all evidence related to this palace, quickly!"

"Yes, your majesty." Fuqiu quickly did as she was told.

But she didn't know that her every move was under the surveillance of the Holy Emperor.

"Reporting to the Holy Emperor, even Fuqiu, who was beside the Imperial Concubine, has left the palace, and our people are following her."

Si Mingyuan: "This emperor requires both human and material evidence, and brings him back alive for interrogation."

"I obey your order." The moment Si Mingyuan's personal shadow guard commander Diwu Xiao walked out of the imperial study, he disappeared like a shadow.

The sky is gradually getting dark and night is about to fall.

When Madam Helian returned to the Helian Mansion, she saw her little son lying on a stretcher, his life or death unknown, covered in blood. A moment of darkness fell before her eyes. She grabbed the doctor's arm and asked, "Tell me, what happened to my son?"

The doctor replied fearfully, "Madam, the fifth young master has been castrated. There's no way to save him. He's passed out from blood loss."

"What? Tell me again, what happened to Deng'er?"

"Ah, ma'am?"

"Hurry, hurry, save the lady first."

Mrs. Helian fainted and the Helian Mansion was in chaos. Helian Xun, who knew nothing about it, was still outside eating and drinking with several ministers, plotting his grand plan.

When the servant came to report, he smashed the dining table in front of him with a palm: "Investigate, dig three feet deep to find the thief who hurt my son, and tear him into pieces!"

"My Lady, something bad has happened. Someone from the Helian Mansion has reported that the Fifth Young Master has just been castrated and is now unconscious. We ask you to quickly investigate the culprit."

Soon, Concubine Lian, who had been waiting for Fuqiu to return, was pacing around the palace anxiously. Suddenly, she heard that her brother had been castrated. She was completely shocked: "What did you say?"

The palace maid repeated, "The Fifth Young Master has been turned into a... eunuch."

"Snapped!"

"You're talking nonsense! Mother was just begging Yun Suyue for him to marry. How could he suddenly become a eunuch? I'll tear your mouth apart."

Helian Hui was furious and slapped the maid in the face, causing her mouth to bleed profusely. She then rushed out of the bedroom and ran towards the Taihe Palace, scolding:

"It must have been that little bitch Yun Suyue who sent someone to do it. Even if the Queen Mother tries to stop me today, I will kill that bitch Yun Suyue!"

Yun Suyue, who knew nothing about this, was helping Mei Beiyao improve his cultivation in the Mei Mansion.
