Helian Chacha was startled by the thunder and she trembled before kowtowing to Ye Shengxuan, wishing to prove her innocence, “Your Majesty, I am telling you the truth!”
Ye Shengxuan didn’t expect that the thunder would come so coincidentally that he couldn’t help twitching his lips, “I know you’re telling me the truth. But how are you going to deal with the Empress Dowager?”
“I won’t be scared if I never do anything wrong. I didn’t steal anything from her, so I don’t think they dare to slander me like that.”
Ye Shengxuan didn’t deny that and he nodded, “Exactly.”
Helian Chacha didn’t know what to say, so she stuttered for quite a while and then stared at Ye Shengxuan hopefully, “Then… will you please protect me from them, Your Majesty?”
He had never expected that she would ever ask for his help, so Ye Shengxuan smiled slightly with satisfaction, “It depends on my mood.”
After talking for a while, Ye Shengxuan let her leave.
It was heavily raining outside when she stepped out of Ye Shengxuan’s place. This was the first time for Helian Chacha to see the rain after the transmigration.
Big rain droplets were falling from the sky at a fast speed and then landing on the green bricks and red tiles above her, creating many rain flowers one after another.
She tried to catch them with her hand unconsciously. When the raindrops on the eave fell onto her fingertip, she took her hand back immediately because of its coolness.
At that moment, she heard a warm and gentle voice from above, “You like the rain too, Eunuch?”
Looking back, she found it was a gentleman in white clothes standing behind her. She looked up and was then surprised, “You are… that day…”
“I’m Chu Jianmo.” The man nodded to her slightly.
She greeted him back, “Good day, Mr. Chu.”
Chu Jianmo looked at the drizzling raindrops and then stared at Helian Chacha, “Are you going to the side hall, Eunuch?”
She looked up at him and wondered how he found out that she was going to the side hall.
Before Helian Chacha could start to ask him, Chu Jianmo spoke again, “I have an appointment with the Princess and I’ll pass the side hall. We can share the umbrella.”
As of speaking, he took out an umbrella and gave her a warm smile.
That smile was so bright that Helian Chacha went dazzled. If she had to describe this man with a piece of poem, she would like to pick up this one, “That gentleman standing on the road was the dearest of all.”
The charm of Chu Jianmo was totally different from that of Ye Shengxuan. He was warm, extraordinary, and elegant. Although Ye Shengxuan looked more handsome than Chu Jianmo, it was hard for people to get close to him as his face always looked so cold.
So Chu Jianmo was more likable compared to him.
Since Chu Jianmo had already invited her, she nodded unconsciously, “That would be my privilege, sir.”
They didn’t really talk much on the way there as Chu Jianmo only read some poems depicting the scene, and then he left for the imperial garden after escorting Helian Chacha to the side hall.
The moment the exhausted Helian Chacha returned to her place, a blade was put on her neck from behind. Her body suddenly went stiff as she raised up her hands, “Please forgive me, hero! I’ll give you anything you want!”
“Why didn’t you avenge Brother Wang?”
Helian Chacha was shocked, “Xiaohuozi?”
Xiaohuozi didn’t expect that she could have recognized him so quickly, so he went panicked, “Don’t move! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Feeling the blade against the skin, Helian Chacha frowned a bit and grabbed the arm of Xiaohuozi all of a sudden and slammed him to the ground with a shoulder throw.
Xiaohuozi was struck to the ground and couldn’t get up even after quite a long while.
Helian Chacha didn’t help him but just asked directly, “Why are you in my room?”
Xiaohuozi dusted the ashes on his clothes roughly and then sneered, “If I don’t come here, how am I supposed to meet someone favored by His Majesty so much like you?”
“What are you talking about…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiaohuozi got up and started to shout at her, “You are a liar! Brother Wang should never have defended you like that! Now he lost his life in vain!”
Seeing that Helian Chacha still didn’t believe what he was saying, he looked even more aggressive, “You are afraid of that Fu Dagui, but I don’t. I’m not afraid of death. And I will never let that bastard Fu enjoy his life in this world even if it costs my life!”
He was trying to get out of the door while saying so.
Helian Chacha stopped him immediately, “Are you crazy?”
“Don’t stop me!” He broke free of Helian Chacha’s grasp and stared at her angrily with his eyes filled with killing intent.
Looking at his crazy face, Helian Chacha finally understood that he was actually not take revenge on Eunuch Fu, but just so angry about her because she had not avenge Wang Jinghu’s death.
Thinking of that, she stopped to hold him but said coldly, “Alright, if that’s what you really want, then go get killed. I won’t stop you anymore. But since we used to be brothers, I have to remind you that Fu Dagui was not that stupid as you have expected. You need to have a profound plan to avenge Brother Wang. Otherwise, your death won’t help at all. Killing you is pretty much like killing an ant for Fu Dagui!”
Indeed, Xiaohuozi just stared at her in shock after hearing what she had just said to him.
“What? Go ahead! Why are you still waiting here? Just go get killed!” She pushed Xiaohuozi out of the door and then slammed it right away.
After closing the door, she went back to her bed, feeling super exhausted. She took a deep breath as she wondered when this kind of life would finally come to an end.
Maybe she was just too exhausted, so it felt like that she was just lying on the bed for a bit and it was already the second day when she woke up again.
The palace felt very refreshing after an entire day of heavy rain. She walked to Yangxin Hall in a happy mood, and she heard a palace maid calling her name on her way, “Lin Dagou!”
Before she could reply, the palace maid handed him a purse, “His Majesty wanted you to go out of the palace and buy a piece of osmanthus cake from Juewei Store for him. He wants to eat it for lunch, so please go as soon as possible. Here is the pass card for your exit and money, don’t lose them.”
Then she left right away.
Helian Chacha took out the stuff inside the purse and found the pass card and money. But Ye Shengxuan always gave her orders by himself, how come he sent someone else to deliver his message today?
After hesitating for a while, she decided to go to Yangxin Hall for confirmation.
But she was stopped by the guardians when she got to the gate, “Please stop, Eunuch. His Majesty is now discussing important business with some officials right now, so please wait here for a moment.”
Helian Chacha frowned a bit and pressed the purse inside her sleeve secretly.
Maybe this was really his order. And if that was the case, she needed to set off as soon as possible, otherwise, she would be late.
Thinking of that, she started to walk to the palace gate.
However, she didn’t realize that there was someone stalking her all the way until she left the imperial palace.
Stepping out of the imperial palace, Helian Chacha took out the map prepared before and took a deep breath. Her eyes were shining with excitement as she was coming to Chang’an Street on her own.
The imperial palace was not far from Chang’an Street, and she could already see the prosperous street after walking about 200 meters. Early in the morning, most of the shops on the street were already open and she could hear their vigorous hawking.
“Don’t miss it when you pass! Freshly steamed buns with meat stuffings!”
“Rice cake! Hot rice cake!”
“Peaches here! Sweet and juicy peaches…”
Helian Chacha was walking in the middle of the street and she was so fascinated by those new things that she couldn’t help looking around and touching them.
“Hey, Eunuch! Do you want to buy some pork? I have the freshest meat in town!”
Looking up, she found that it was a butcher who was greeting her.
She waved her hand immediately, “No, thanks.”
After that, she hurried up and walked to the place on the map.
Helian Chacha was startled by the thunder and she trembled before kowtowing to Ye Shengxuan, wishing to prove her innocence, “Your Majesty, I am telling you the truth!”
Ye Shengxuan didn’t expect that the thunder would come so coincidentally that he couldn’t help twitching his lips, “I know you’re telling me the truth. But how are you going to deal with the Empress Dowager?”
