Chapter 52 Visit

After many years, Baili You finally saw Pingjing's relatives again. He nervously clenched his hands, his palms sweating. He didn't know who had come, but he was still overjoyed.

Afraid that she might have done something wrong and become a laughing stock with her family, she kept turning to Uncle Liu and asking, "Is my hair messy? Is there something wrong with my clothes today?"

Uncle Liu smiled and shook his head, "The young master is very suitable."

"I wonder who it is?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, you'll see when you get there." Xiao Zhuo stood on tiptoe to look.

Finally, the Helian family's carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the dilapidated steps of the Prince's residence. The head guard led a man out from inside. He was tall and slender. Baili You stared at him intently, guessing that he was probably the third-generation son of the Helian family, whom he probably did not recognize.

Among the grandchildren of the Helian clan, he was only acquainted with one person. However, when he was chosen to be sent to Jin and Chu as a hostage that year, the two had a big fight and severed their relationship. They probably would never see each other again in this life.

Until Helian Huai raised his head, Baili You finally saw the face of Helian's grandson. For a moment, Baili You froze at the doorway. He couldn't hear what Uncle Liu and Xiao Zhuo were saying to him with smiles. His ears were ringing, and the fog in his eyes grew thicker and thicker. He thought he had seen wrong, that he had mistaken someone else...

It wasn't him, it couldn't possibly be his.

The face of the newcomer gradually magnified before his eyes. Baili You slowly raised his stiff arm and tentatively touched the newcomer's eyebrows and eyes, momentarily unable to believe that the person in front of him was real.

Helian Huaiyi, his eyes red-rimmed, forced a smile and teased, "Don't you recognize me? You've practically rubbed my eyebrows off, and you still can't recognize me?"

Baili You was almost suffocating. Memories flooded his mind, and when he tried to speak, his voice was hoarse, "Helian... Huai?"

"Hmm, you're not out of your mind." Helian Huai suddenly hugged Baili You and whispered through gritted teeth in his ear, "I know everything."

At this moment, Baili You finally regained full consciousness; it really was him.

The two embraced tightly. This embrace was not only separated by years, but also by countless mountains and seas. The embrace spoke for them of their long-standing longing.

Baili You suffered, and Helian Huai felt sorry for him.

After a long while, the two slowly let go. The mist in Baili You's eyes dissipated, but the redness in them did not lie. He said, "I thought I would never see you again."

Helian Huai reached out and pinched his shoulder bone. "How did you get so thin? Have you been eating properly?"

Baili You whispered, "I ate it."

A shadow crossed Helian Huai's eyes for a moment, because the Third and Fifth Princes had followed. Baili You looked away and quietly tugged at Helian Huai.

Helian Huai turned his head again, already smiling, "Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness. It's been so long since I've seen the Crown Prince. You have no idea how close we used to be."

The three princes couldn't manage a smile; the forced smiles looked completely out of place. "Young Master Huai and the Crown Prince are indeed very close."

“Of course.” Helian Huai blocked Baili You, then glanced at the Fifth Prince who was following the Third Prince, and said, “Is this the Fifth Prince? He looks just like the Third Prince. He’s really lucky.”

The Fifth Prince's face was extremely ugly. If the Third Prince hadn't repeatedly warned him, he would have definitely lost his temper.

The three kings were also afraid that Helian Huai would notice the fifth king's hostility towards Baili You, so they quickly said, "Young Master Huai has good eyesight. It is indeed the fifth brother, Si Ziyan."

Helian Huai cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Fifth Prince."

Si Ziyan looked at Baili You with disgust and a warning glance, and said, "Third Brother, I'll wait for you in the car."

Si Ziyu couldn't scold his younger brother at this moment. He was thinking about how to intimidate Baili You and make him cooperate to finish the play.

Helian Huai's attitude towards Baili You didn't seem fake; they were genuinely acquainted. If he hadn't been reminded sooner, and Baili You had revealed his experiences in Jin and Chu...

Thinking of this, Si Ziyu became even more depressed and said in a pretentious manner, "Young Master Huai, don't stand at the door with the young master, let's go inside and talk."

“Alright, there’s no need to stand at the door reminiscing. Your Highness, let me go inside your residence and take a good look around,” Helian Huai said, pulling Baili You along to walk inside.

As Baili You said, "There's nothing to see, it hasn't been cleaned at all," he twisted his ankle.

Helian Huai looked down and asked, "What happened to your leg?"

Baili You touched his leg and said, trying to cover it up, "It's nothing, I just fell."

"Let me see," Helian Huai said, ignoring the objections, and squatted down to examine Baili You's leg. His expression grew increasingly grim. "How did you fall? How could you hurt your leg like this?"

Before Baili You could speak, Si Ziyu quickly explained, "Young Master Huai, there's no need to worry. The imperial physician has already examined him, and the young master will recover after a period of rest."

Uncle Liu and Xiao Zhuo exchanged a glance, unable to believe that the three kings could lie through their teeth and put on such a pretentious act. They would find an opportunity to explain things clearly to Young Master Huai later.

Since it was Young Master Huai who had come, they had no more scruples.

Helian Huai asked again, "How did the young master fall?"

“He fell while hunting not long ago,” Si Ziyu said anxiously. “The young master’s horse got spooked and threw him off the cliff. It scared us to death. Fortunately, we found him quickly and he is fine.”

Even though Baili You pretended to be deaf and dumb, he was shocked by Si Ziyu's twisted words. He looked into Helian Huai's eyes and said nothing.

Helian Huai sighed, stood up and said to Uncle Liu, "His leg is still injured. Don't let the young master stand. Help him inside to sit down."

Si Ziyu said, "Young Master Huai, let's go in together."

He definitely has to go in and keep a close eye on Baili You at all times.

Helian Huai smiled and said, "I'm picking someone up." He walked to the carriage, and the head guard lifted the curtain again. Si Ziyu saw the lake-blue dress clearly. Helian Huai reached out his hand, and a slender, fair hand gently rested on his wrist. Just by looking at one hand, he could tell that there was a beauty in the carriage.

Sure enough, when the person inside was fully revealed, Si Ziyu's eyes widened. The lake-blue silk dress accentuated her shapely figure, making her waist appear so slender that it seemed as if it could be broken with a single grasp. Her exposed skin was fair and alluring.

Although she wore a veil, her eyes, which were visible, were captivating and radiant, shining brightly when she glanced at Si Ziyu.

"They've been waiting for ages, they're all sleepy in the car," the woman said coquettishly, taking Helian Huai's arm as she got out of the car.

Helian Huai coaxed her gently, "My fault, my fault, I talked too much. Let's go inside with the prince, you can go upstairs and rest, okay?"

The woman gave him a bright, playful look, and when she saw Baili You, she smiled and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Baili You stood still, his eyes flashing with a mixture of emotions, as if he were stunned.

Helian Huai urged him, "If you don't sit down and rest, your leg injury will get worse."

Baili You nodded hastily and was helped inside by Uncle Liu and Xiao Zhuo.

Helian Huai helped the woman up, and the two chatted and laughed.

Si Ziyu asked curiously, "Is this lady beside Young Master Huai your wife?"

Helian Huai shook his head and said bluntly, "Third Prince, don't talk nonsense. I'm not married yet, so where would I get a wife?"

Si Ziyu was taken aback. "Seeing how concerned Young Master Huai is, I thought it was your wife. I was wrong, please forgive me, Young Master Huai."

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to marry a wife as beautiful as her,” Helian Huai said. “This is the thirty-ninth study maid I’ve kept. Your Highness wouldn’t understand. Let me tell you, when you’re studying late into the night, my Xiao Qiao stands in front of the table and I immediately wake up. I memorize the classics and historical texts all night long. My father was shocked early in the morning.”

Si Ziyu: "..."
