Xiao Zhan was silent. He knew that the relationship between his second cousin and Yelu Minzhen was complicated. Not only was there hatred between the countries, but there was also the existence of his second cousin's wife Lin Yin. It was indeed a bad fate.

Now it depends on whether my second cousin is willing to cut off this relationship.

"Yun Che, can you tell me the purpose of coming to Xixia this time?"

"Why do you have to know? Some things may not be good for you if you know them."

"Because I am not only from Qian Country, but also your cousin. I will do my best to help you."

Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, as if he saw the second cousin who always supported him in his memory. From childhood to adulthood, no matter when, he would go all out to help him.

After a moment, Xiao Zhan smiled and replied, "Second cousin, I do need your help with something."

At the same time, in Yelu Ren's house, Jiang Xue and Fu Dong moved in under the aliases of Helian Zhen and Helian Yu, and Yelu Ren invited several doctors to treat them.

Unfortunately, the poison Jiang Xiaoan used was too unique, and the doctors were helpless and could only prescribe some warming and nourishing prescriptions to get the job done.

In the mansion, they enjoyed generous treatment, but were restricted to the separate courtyard and were not allowed to go out, which clearly showed that Yelu Ren had doubts.

Fu Dong couldn't help but ask Jiang Xue: "How long will we stay in this yard?"

Jiang Xue looked at the blue sky outside the window and replied softly, "It won't be long."

After Xiao Zhan left, Yelu Minzhen eagerly found Feng Tianyu.

He was sitting at the stone table in deep thought. She approached quietly, hugged him from behind, put her face against his back and asked gently, "Acheng, is your mother okay?"

"not too good."

Feng Tianyu replied: "Yun Che said that her illness is very serious and she may not survive for more than two or three years."

Hearing this, Yelu Minzhen was speechless and didn't know how to comfort her.

She was his mother. The pain of lying on her sickbed prevented her son, who was far away from home, from fulfilling his filial duties. This feeling of powerlessness also hurt her heart.

Although she had briefly considered accompanying him back to Beijing to visit him, she was worried that once they met Lin Yin and Feng Liangjue, he would be reluctant to leave them, and she was even more afraid of losing him because of this.

What's more, as long as that person is alive, she will never be able to leave the capital of Western Xia.

So she swallowed the words back.

After a while, she suggested: "When your cousin returns to Qian Country, we can prepare some gifts for him to bring to your mother as a token of our appreciation."

"no need."

Feng Tianyu refused, “I have already been regarded as a victim of the battle of Yangshan, why should I disturb my mother’s peaceful life?

I have already let Ah Yin and Jue Er down, so let them continue to believe that I am dead. This way, when they recall their husband and father, they can at least remember the image of a hero. "

"You will always be my hero."

Yelu Minzhen said affectionately that if it weren't for his decision, she wouldn't be who she is today.

Feng Tianyu let go of her hand and stood up: "I need some time alone to sort out my thoughts."

Yelu Minzhen nodded in agreement. As long as he was willing to stay, she had enough time to wait until they could find harmony in each other's hearts again.

Just as Jiang Xue expected, after Yelu Ren sent people to investigate their identities, he discovered the existence of Helian Zhen and Helian Yu.

The clues left by the secret guards of the princess's mansion confirmed the existence of these people, and the intelligence from Baihua Tower showed that Princess Changle was still handling government affairs as usual, and the capital of Qian Kingdom remained calm.

Yelu Ren smiled slightly. Even if that face was not Jiang Xue, its value could not be ignored.

When Fudong was waiting anxiously in the courtyard, Yelu Ren suddenly appeared.

Before the two of them could exchange greetings, he gently said to Yu'er, "Please move outside, young lady. I have something important to discuss with your sister."

Fu Dong glanced at Jiang Xue, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Jiang Xue nodded slightly, and although Fu Dong was reluctant, he slowly left the room.

Yelu Ren watched Fu Dong leave, then turned to Helian Zhen and said softly: "Your sister's concerned look proves the deep affection between you two sisters."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Helian Zhen responded in a low voice. She didn't dare to look him in the eye: "Since our parents passed away, we two sisters have depended on each other and cherished each other."

"Raise your head." Yelu Ren ordered.

Helian Zhen raised his face in obedience, but his eyes were full of fear, as if he was worried that he would do something bad to her.

"Why are you so scared?" Yelu Ren asked, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

"Your Highness is extremely noble, and I am just a humble person. How can I not feel afraid?" Her voice trembled.

Yeluren smiled slightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Don't be so nervous, I mean no harm."

He paused, then continued, “Actually, I want to tell you that there is another woman in this world who looks similar to you, but she is brave and fearless, and as strong as a wolf.

She is the pride of Qian Country and someone I respect."

Hearing this, Helian Zhen's face turned pale instantly. Thinking that he was in danger, he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Get up, when did I ever say I was going to hurt you?"

Yeluren frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied with her reaction: "I just feel sorry that under the same face, the temperament is so different."

Helian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to completely believe it, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness just mentioned... is it referring to that woman?"

"Yes."

Yelu Ren confirmed: "Although she is from an enemy country, I sincerely admire her courage and determination."

Helian Zhen was confused: "Your Highness, I don't understand who you are talking about."

"Princess Changle of Qian Kingdom, Jiang Xue."

Yeluren explained: "Since you look so similar to her, you might as well learn from her courage so that your appearance will not be in vain."

"Although Princess Changle is a member of the royal family, how dare a commoner like me compare with her?"

Yelu Ren snorted softly: "If you didn't have this face, it would be hard to achieve. But now that you have it, everything becomes possible. As long as you are willing to cooperate with this prince, I will never let you suffer any loss."

Helian Zhen's eyes instantly became alert: "Second Prince, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"For now, I just want you to stay at home. I will take good care of you and your sister. Just study some of the content I specify every day."

"Is it that simple?" Helian Zhen asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's not that simple."

Yeluren smiled and said, "But we'll talk about the future later. Now you just need to follow my instructions. If you obey, you will be rewarded handsomely. Otherwise, your sister's safety will be in jeopardy."

"I will be obedient, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Helian Zhen eagerly assured: "Ayu is my only sister, please show mercy."

Yeluren leaned forward slightly and gently lifted her chin with his fingers: "The first thing you have to overcome is timidity, understand? Jiang Xue is a fearless person."

Helian Zhen nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Second Prince, I will try my best to correct it."
