Nangong Yi heard that Cai Wei had prepared a meal waiting for his return, and his mood instantly improved. Because he was in a good mood, his originally somber face showed a few hints of a smile, and he even casually answered her question.
"The Royal Consort is naturally my daughter-in-law, whom you've seen inside the palace, Lady Mu Caiwei!"
As he spoke, he had already stepped out of the shed, leaving Helana behind, without telling anyone how to take care of her!
Upon hearing Nangong Yi unabashedly call Mu Caiwei his daughter-in-law and Royal Consort, Helana felt like she had been pricked by needles. The pain turned her face pale, and as she clutched her chest, she stared blankly at Nangong Yi's retreating figure and, in an instant, tears fell like rain...
Behind her, the two guards stood quietly, their experience telling them that now was not the time to speak or move, lest they draw fire upon themselves and become her venting fodder!
