Chapter 1472 Death of Helana (3)
Her voice was a bit coquettish and she looked very shy, which was inconsistent with her usual cold personality. Such an expression and voice were something she had never had before. Caiwei was an experienced person and naturally understood what happened.
The girl in front of her was obviously in love, otherwise she would not have such an expression and behavior, but she was still holding on to the last line of defense. However, judging from her expression, it seemed that she could not hold on for much longer!
After entering the house, Xiangyun brought in the account books of the past few months for Caiwei to review, and she went downstairs to prepare food for Caiwei.
Caiwei took off her big sweater layer by layer, picked up the accounts of the past few months and checked them. The accounts showed that except for the ginseng shop and the hot pot restaurant, the business of the commercial street was not booming in the past few months. It might be because the weather was too cold and everyone was unwilling to go out. However, even if it was not good, there was still a profit of 30,000 to 40,000 taels.
After checking the bill, Chaoyun's breakfast was ready: a bowl of milk and Poria cocos cream, a basket of steamed buns, four light side dishes, and a cold roasted lamb leg. Although the food was simple, it was nutritious, colorful, fragrant and delicious. Caiwei was hungry, and when she saw these nutritious and delicious food, she hurried over and sat down. Just as she was about to eat with her chopsticks, she heard the sound of the door opening outside. Then there was a young man's voice: "It smells so good, what delicious food did you make today?" Before he finished speaking, the person had already come in. Caiwei smiled and teased: "Little Prince, long time no see, are you still eating and drinking with Chaoyun?"
When Tuoba Liang saw Caiwei, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled naturally and said, "Empress Mu doesn't know that the emperor wrote to you a few days ago, saying that you were missing. Chaoyun was very anxious, frowning and crying every day. If it weren't for the little prince coming to watch her eat every day, I'm afraid she would be thin now."
After saying that, without waiting for Caiwei to answer, he turned to Chaoyun and said, "Look, isn't Empress Mu here? Look at how anxious you have been these days, you have lost a lot of weight."
While talking, he sat down opposite Caiwei, with a casual and natural attitude, as if he was at home.
Caiwei looked at Chaoyun, whose face was flushed, and smiled: "Come and eat together, otherwise you will be hungry and thin, and someone will feel sorry for you!"
Chaoyun glared at Tuoba Liang, walked over with a red face, and sat with them.
Tuoba Liang enjoyed the coquettishness of his beloved. During the meal, he said inadvertently, "I won't come to lunch. Helana Yanshi passed away last night. I will probably have to take care of the funeral later." Helana Yanshi, isn't she the daughter of Queen Jia, the princess of the Xianbei Kingdom, the woman who coveted Nangong Yi for many years? Caiwei raised her head and said in surprise: "Why did she die out of nowhere?"
Tuoba Liang said: "Recently, the Khan favored a woman from the Jin Dynasty. Helana Yanshi was very angry and tried to make trouble for the woman several times, but was protected by the Khan. Last night, during the Khan's birthday banquet, Helana Yanshi actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to poison the woman. Unexpectedly, her personal maid took the wrong cup, and Yanshi shot herself in the foot and poisoned herself to death. The unborn fetus in her belly also died with her."
"It's really hurting others but hurting yourself!"
Caiwei sighed and suddenly thought of Xia Jingui in "Dream of Red Mansions". Xia Jingui also wanted to poison Xiangling, but ended up poisoning herself to death. Now it seems that the secret methods of these women must have been unbearable to God, and they were punished in the dark. As the saying goes: It's really justice, retribution is inevitable!
