Chapter 833: Chapter 834 Eating Hotpot (1)

In Helana’s eyes, Nangong Yi had always been a noble and domineering figure, god-like and unattainably high above, even when he was being suppressed and pursued by Jin Guifei and The Prince, he always maintained a dignity that made him untouchable. Therefore, when she stood in the messy, makeshift shed and saw Nangong Yi in a sky blue silken robe, mingling with a group of half-naked Helan men, her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!

"King Qin!" she cried out.

When he heard the cry, Nangong Yi was deeply engrossed in instructing a Helan craftsman on how to evenly stir the molten ore, he lifted his head and saw Helana standing in the shed, his face immediately turned dark. "What are you doing here? Who let you in?"

There wasn’t a hint of warmth on Nangong Yi’s handsome face as his cool gaze settled on her.

Today, he wore a simple Sky Blue Color Brocade Robe with white-soled, black-edged boots. His ink-black hair was fastened with a plain ivory hairpin, and not a single valuable trinket adorned his body. Yet, even in such a simple, mobile attire, it did nothing to detract from his natural elegance and charisma. The innate nobility in him meant that even in commoner’s sandals and straw hat, he would still carry an air of superiority over others.

Helana gazed dazedly at the man before her, whom she had not seen for several months. He was still as enchantingly beautiful as ever, albeit a bit darker, but this did not affect his charm at all. On the contrary, it added a bit more edge and authority to his originally languid charm, making her even more infatuated!

Meeting his gaze, she blurted out uncontrollably, "I came to find you!"

At her words, Nangong Yi’s face grew darker, and he said in a tough voice, "What for?"

Helana pursed her lips, looking into his icy eyes, carefully pondering how to answer him. Although she was willful and capricious, she was always instinctively cautious in front of him, fearing that anything she said would displease or disgust him.

"I came... I came to..."

In fact, what she wanted to say was, ’I’ve missed you so much, so deeply that I traveled thousands of miles to find you, hoping to be with you...’

But seeing the man’s cold, distant demeanor, she knew from experience that if she dared to reveal her true feelings, he would immediately turn hostile and have her forcibly removed. So, she wisely chose not to speak the truth.

"I’ve come to deliver a letter. The Empress has been placed under house arrest, and Princess Zhao Yang has disappeared on her way to a Marriage Alliance. The Emperor has reprimanded Duke Li Guo’s Mansion, and the situation inside the palace is very unfavorable for you. You should think of a solution quickly..."

After speaking, she lowered her gaze, not daring to look at him anymore, for fear that her adoring eyes would provoke him and result in her being sent away forcibly.

After hearing what she said, Nangong Yi showed no signs of surprise or sorrow, but simply nodded and said indifferently, "I see."

He had his own informants inside the palace, receiving daily pigeon letters from the capital. He kept control over all matters, big or small, within the palace and the court. The Empress’s safe surviving under confinement, Zhao Yang escaping Jin Guifei and The Prince’s chase, and Duke Li Guo’s Mansion being reprimanded but not punished—all these were connected to him inevitably!

"Reporting to King Qin, the Royal Consort has returned and lunch is prepared in the tent. Please return for the meal," said Chai Feng, bowing with fists clasped at the entrance, especially there to call Nangong Yi back.

Upon hearing the words "Royal Consort," Helana’s face turned pale in shock as she clutched her chest, disbelievingly staring at Nangong Yi, "Royal Consort? What Royal Consort? When did you take a consort?"
