491 Grandfather and Grandsons Meet (2)
The Prince Consort lifted the curtain and looked ahead. About a hundred feet away were two majestic manors. One was the East Manor, and the other was the West Manor. The back door at the end of this road was the West Manor.
“Why did you come to the West Manor?” The Prince Consort said.
The coachman was stunned. “Are you going to the East Manor?”
Uh… you didn’t say anything either! Our Little Commandery Princess doesn’t have much contact with the East Manor. Instead, she’s very close to Helian Yu and Young Master Helian Cheng from the West Manor! The coachman muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to push the blame away. He quickly grabbed the reins and turned around. “I misunderstood. The East Manor is quite close. We’ll go back and pass through that small alley! Are we… going to the back door?”
He did not understand. Why did the Prince Consort use the back door instead of the front door when he came to the Helian Manor? It was not like he was doing anything shameful! The coachman drove the carriage with his strange thoughts to the back door of the Helian East Manor.
However, at this moment, something even more puzzling happened.
“Wait, stop here,” the Prince Consort said.
The coachman looked at the back door of the Helian East Manor, which was dozens of steps away from the carriage, and asked in confusion, “Isn’t it a little far? Are you just going to walk there?”
“No,” the Prince Consort said.
N-no? What kind of operation was this? Master rushed over from the Queen Manor just to stand outside the back door of the Helian Manor?
The coachman suspected that he had heard wrongly. He tilted his body slightly and lifted a gap in the curtain to peek at his master. He saw him turn to look at the back door of the Helian Manor outside the window, looking deep in thought.
The coachman thought for a while but did not say anything in the end.
The master and servant sat in the carriage just like that. Fortunately, no one passed by the back door of the Helian Manor. Otherwise, people would definitely treat them as evil thieves if they stared at them like this.
He did not understand. Why did the Prince Consort come to the Helian Manor for no reason? And he did not dare to enter? However… The Helian family did not have a good relationship with the Queen Manor.
The heads of the Helian family had only been loyal to the Emperor, and although the Queen was the Crown Princess, she was someone the Helian family had to avoid. Of course, this was one of the reasons. The second reason was that it went back more than thirty years.
The Empress and Consort Yun were pregnant, and the two Princesses were conferred with the fate of blessings and disasters one after another. Old Master Helian thought that this was nonsense and had once written a letter to ask for a heavy punishment for those who deceived the public. The Emperor naturally did not punish them. After the two Princesses were born, the Emperor sent the Calamity Star Princess out of Nanzhao. This matter had also been strongly opposed by Old Master Helian.
The child was innocent, what wrong did she do? To put it bluntly, these things were none other than the duty of a ruler to shoulder the worries of a ruler. However, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it could not help but become that the Helian family was biased towards Consort Yun and her daughter. In the end, the Empress and the Little Princess’s relationship with the Helian family faded.
So why was his Prince Consort hiding sneakily outside the back door of the Helian Manor? Did he want to catch the Helian family’s weakness?
