The situation could not have been more tense. There was even a sense of imminent danger, as if the flames of war would spread in front of everyone if they weren't careful.
Qi Yu was truly sweating on behalf of Third Prince Helian Cheng, what was Helian Cheng trying to do? It seemed that Helian Cheng's position in the imperial court was not higher than Helian Jing's, if not, their Royal Father would not abandon Helian Cheng's opinion and agree to Helian Jing's suggestion to attack Dongluo.
Since that was the case, why would Helian Cheng hold back?
Helian Jing's retort was filled with contempt and condescension, not leaving Helian Cheng the slightest bit of face. When Qi Yu heard this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Helian Cheng. That was his big brother after all.
