498 Little Sly Jiang Is Here (1)


    Helian Beiming could not figure out why the Queen hade to visit. Ever since something happened to his body, he had gradually faded out of the court. In recent months, he had even taken a long leave from the Emperor. Now that he was free at home, he did not have to ask about the court and the military camp, so it was unlikely to be for business.


    If it was for personal matters, it was even more impossible. The Helian family had never had any contact with the Queen Manor. What private matter could be worth the Queening over personally?


    Helian Beiming went to the reception pavilion of the East Manor to meet the Queen.


    The Queen was not wearing the official uniform of the court. It looked like an ordinary visit. She naturally had a dignified aura as she sat at the head of the table. Mo Sang and two personal maidservants waited on both sides.


    The butler of the East Manor had long served the newly brewed tea, but it was not the best tea in the manor. The best was all given to the Old Madam to please her little grandson.


    Fortunately, the Queen was not here to drink tea.


    Yu Gang pushed the wheelchair into the reception pavilion and stood behind his master. Helian Beiming’s meridians were broken and he had lost all his martial arts. The Emperor had long exempted him from bowing to anyone.


    Helian Beiming bowed slightly to the person in the seat. “I didn’t know that Your Highness hade. I didn’t wee you properly. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”


    The Queen smiled generously and said, “Divine General, there’s no need to be so polite.”


    Yu Gang pushed the wheelchair to the seat below the Queen.


    The Queen’s gentle gazended on Helian Beiming’s handsome face. She smiled and said, “I haven’t seen the Divine General in a long time. How are you?”


    Helian Beiming said, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”


    The Queen continued, “I wonder how Old Madam is?”


    Helian Beiming said, “Mother is healthy and well.”


    “In that case, I’m relieved. Thest time I saw Old Madam, she didn’t recognize me,” the Queen said. She lowered her head and smiled before looking at Helian Beiming. It seemed like a casual question, but she was questioning if the Old Madam was really clear-minded.


    Helian Beiming pretended not to understand. “Mother hasn’t seen Your Highness many times.”


    “That’s true.” The Queen had hit a soft nail.


    The two of them chatted for a while before letting go of their daily lives.


    Helian Beiming cut to the chase. “Your Highness, why did youe to the Helian Manor today? Did His Majesty have some instructions?”


    The Queen said, “It’s not my father. I wanted toe myself. I heard that the Divine General’s family has been found. They’re the flesh and blood of the child who fell off the cliff back then. I don’t know if it’s true.”


    “That’s true. Back then, my brother unfortunately fell off the cliff and didn’t even have a corpse left. Although many people said that he was dead, my mother and I have always believed that he was alive. All these years, I’ve been asking around for my brother’s whereabouts. God helps those who work hard and we finally found him. Unfortunately, I was toote. My brother and sister-inw had already passed away. Fortunately, the two of them left children in the world. My mother was very happy to see that child, as if my brother had reallye back to life.”


    When Helian Beiming said this, the Queen’s gaze was on his face, as if she wanted to know if he was hiding anything.


    “However,” Helian Beiming paused. “I haven’t announced this to the public yet. Where did Your Highness get the news?”


    Other than the Emperor and the Prince Consort, the only person in the world who dared to question the Queen so openly was this man in front of her.


    The Queen had long expected him to ask this and did not hide anything. She said truthfully, “I heard from Xi’er that Xi’er seems to have a misunderstanding with the Eldest Young Master and Young Madam who have just returned to the manor. It’s just child’s y. Divine General, don’t take it to heart.”


    Helian Beiming looked like he had a headache. “It’s Yu’er and Cheng’er, right? I’ve long warned them not to disturb themandery princess. They just won’t listen and cause trouble for Your Highness. I apologize to Your Highness and themandery princess on their behalf.”


    The Queen smiled appropriately and said, “Where did thise from? Political matters are political matters, and children are children. They grew up together since they were young, and their rtionship is extraordinary. Don’t me them.”


    Helian Beiming said seriously, “I ept the decree.”


    Helian Yu and Helian Cheng were not the eldest sons of the Helian family. They would not inherit the position of the head of the family. Their words and actions could not represent the position of the entire Helian family. Therefore, although it was best to distance themselves from the Queen Manor, it was fine if they could not help but interact with her. If it were the eldest sons of the legitimate sons of the East and West Manor who had endless contact with the Little Commandery Princess, it would probably be another story.


    The Queen smiled and said, “Is that child in the manor today? I haven’t seen him yet.”
