Qiao Ran rushed into the room, and by the time the men of the Three Kings and Five Kings caught up, she had already tumbled down from the edge of the corridor and escaped through the entrance of Cuixiang Residence.

The three kings leaned over the railing, their faces so grim they could drip water; what a small world!

He gripped the railing tightly and said in a sinister voice, "How dare you play tricks on us! Once you're in my hands, see how I deal with you!"

The fifth prince was even more furious and grabbed the third prince, trying to chase after them. The third prince stumbled as he was pulled and angrily shook off his hand.

The Fifth Prince was puzzled. He strained his narrow eyes, turned to look at the Third Prince, and said with a long face, "Third Brother, we can't let him get away! I must catch him and tear him to pieces. He dared to threaten me. I've never been bullied before in my life."

“I know,” the three kings said unhappily, “but isn’t this just sending people to chase after him? Where can he run to?”

"Let's follow them and see."

"What are you following? Don't forget we have other things to do," the third prince said. "What did Father Emperor tell us before we left?"

The Fifth Prince was so angry at Qiao Ran's sudden appearance that he almost forgot about the important matter. However, he was still unwilling. "He is just a minor official of Pingjing. Why should we have to go and pick him up in person? What is Father thinking? He knows that we don't get along with Baili You."

"Stop talking," the three kings said, glancing around at the others who were still there. The others quickly fled as if their lives depended on it. "You've already found Mother, but she still sent the two of us."

The five princes had a headache just thinking about it. Last month, Pingjing suddenly sent a message saying that he would send someone to see the crown prince. They didn't take it seriously. Over the years, Pingjing had said it several times, but no one ever came. They could use this opportunity to tease Baili You, which was the most fun thing ever.

Unexpectedly, someone actually came this time. He said he was the eldest grandson of the Helian family and had been close to that bastard Baili You since childhood. After not seeing each other for many years, he insisted on coming to visit.

Emperor Taira no Kage agreed, and the messenger arrived as quickly as possible.

“I’m not going,” the Fifth Prince said, throwing a tantrum. “If you’re going, Third Brother, you go. I’m already furious just thinking about Baili You, let alone seeing any of Helian’s direct descendants.”

The three kings grabbed him, saying, "If you don't go back, Father will blame you. I won't take responsibility for you. Mother is right. We've always bullied Baili You. If Helian comes and says something unfounded, falsely accusing us, and then goes back to Emperor Pingjing to complain, don't you think it will be troublesome?"

The five kings raised their voices, "He dares!"

If Baili You dares to talk nonsense in front of others, he will make him wish he were dead!

If you know what's good for you, keep your mouth shut. Maybe if he's in a good mood, he might let this lowly bastard have a couple of comfortable days.

The three kings said, "Baili You has even dared to send people to attack us now. He even wants to kill us. What wouldn't he dare to do? That's why Mother sent us to pick up Helian's grandson and keep an eye on Baili You. If he dares to say anything reckless, he'll have to think twice."

The Fifth Prince agreed, “Then let’s listen to Father and Mother. He’s just a grandson of Helian. Even if he knows something, he’ll have to swallow his pride.”

Having persuaded the five kings, the third king led him to the city gate. This delay meant that Helian's grandson had probably already entered the city.

However, neither of them really intended to go all the way to the city gate to pick them up; it was just a formality.

Once outside the street, a servant reported that they hadn't caught the man from Cuixiangju; he had escaped.

The five kings flew into a rage again and ordered that the man be dug out, no matter how deep the ground was.

The three kings said with grim faces, "They might be hiding in the Baili Right Mansion."

The Fifth Prince immediately ordered his men to search Baili Youfu, but the Third Prince said, "The Helian clan has already arrived. Once they leave, we can search however we want. Let's just bear with it in front of the Helian clan."

As a result, the five princes harbored even greater resentment towards Baili You. When they received Helian's carriage, he refused to even get off, while the third prince got off alone.

The three kings arrived at the carriage. The Helian clan had a vast influence in Pingjing. The old patriarch of the Helian clan still controlled one-third of Pingjing's army. The Helian clan had produced three empresses. It was said that the most favored concubine in Pingjing's harem was still from the Helian clan.

In Pingjing, the Helian family held an unchallenged dominance in trade.

Therefore, neither Jin nor Chu dared to offend them. The three kings put on smiling faces and asked inside, "Has Helian's grandson arrived?"

A sudden gust of wind stirred the carriage curtain, and the three kings saw a pure white auspicious cloud-like garment and a woman with her head down, whispering something. She wore a lake-blue dress, but they couldn't see her face clearly.

This grandson of Helian even brought his bedmate to Jin and Chu; it seems he's nothing more than a pleasure-seeking person.

The three princes were dismissive, but there was no response from inside for a long time. So, the head guard Helian, who had come with them, cupped his hands and said, "It is indeed Prince Huai's carriage. We did not wait for anyone to pick us up outside the city, so we entered the city first. May I ask who you are?"

“Si Ziyu, I came to personally fetch Young Master Huai on the orders of my father. I left the palace a little late and have kept Young Master Huai waiting.”

The head guard approached the car and replied in a low voice.

Finally, someone spoke up, their voice light and casual, unconventional: "How could I trouble Your Highness to come and fetch me personally? I'll go directly to the Prince's residence; Your Highness need not accompany me."

The three kings hadn't even had a chance to warn Baili You yet, so how could they let Helian Huai go directly? "Father has arranged accommodations. Young Master Huai, please rest for a day and you can go see the Crown Prince tomorrow."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The Third Prince looked up, and Helian Huai lifted the carriage curtain and leaned halfway out to look at him, a smile on his face. "Your Highness, why are you being so polite? I'll see you tomorrow or today, so why don't I just go?"

The three kings said, "Prince Huai has had a long and tiring journey to our Jin and Chu, so we should naturally pay more attention to him."

“It’s too much trouble to stay anywhere else,” Helian Huai blinked, looking like a scoundrel. “I’ll just stay at the Prince’s residence. The Prince and I have been close since childhood, practically inseparable, so naturally I’ll stay with him.”

The three kings' eyelids twitched, and their faces turned green.

Before he could reply, Helian Huai ordered the head guard, "Hurry up and go, the Crown Prince is waiting for us."

The head guard responded and led his men to drive the carriage slowly through the long street, heading straight for the Prince's residence.

The Third Prince was anxious. He hadn't considered that Helian Huai knew where Baili You lived without even asking, since it was his first time visiting. He got into the carriage with a gloomy face. When the Fifth Prince saw that he had only returned after a long time, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you take so long, Third Brother? I'm exhausted. I'm so angry today. I'm going back to the palace to tell Mother."

The three princes shook their heads, "Let's not return to the palace yet."

"Not returning to the palace?" The Fifth Prince was taken aback. "Then where are you going?"

The three princes' faces gradually showed worry, and their back teeth inexplicably ached. One of them ordered, "Follow Helian Huai's carriage, we're going to the Prince's residence too."

"Prince's Mansion!"

Who knows how much the Fifth Prince wanted to beat up Baili You right now, but he couldn't openly bully him these past few days. He was already feeling frustrated, and when he heard that the Prince's residence was about to be visited, he muttered, "The eldest grandson of the Helian clan is going to go directly to Baili You? Baili You shouldn't dare to say anything out of line, right?"

The three kings, with a headache, said coldly, "That's why we have to follow them and keep an eye on them!"

Fortunately, he felt that Helian Huai was not a formidable person. He went out with women and his behavior did not have the proper demeanor of a young master from a noble family. He guessed that he was probably a playboy who was easy to deal with and could be fooled.

Once he leaves, Baili You will have a hard time.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Prince's residence, Baili You, along with Uncle Liu and Xiao Zhuo, had been waiting at the gate for quite some time, having heard the news. The three of them had made a special effort to make themselves look energetic and refreshed.

"They're here!" Xiao Zhuo exclaimed happily upon seeing them. "Your Highness, it's the Helian Clan's carriage."
