Chapter 410 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 28

The Fifth Prince had more contact with Jiang Yunyan, but he didn't know much about Yunqing, and Jiang Yunyan rarely mentioned Jiang Yunqing in front of him.

After all, it's not easy for the two of them to meet in private, so they should be busy pouring out their hearts to each other and deepening their relationship.

Jiang Yunyan would occasionally mention that Jiang Yunqing relied on her mother to act recklessly and steal things she liked.

She sounds like a spoiled, somewhat arrogant, but not very cunning young lady.

That's why he made it so obvious; he was worried that if he spoke too subtly, Yun Qing wouldn't understand.

After all, Jiang Yunyan, as her older sister, has never been very bright.

He is using Jiang Yunyan as a benchmark to sow discord between Yun Qing and others.

The Fifth Prince didn't actually want to break ties with Helian Yin at this time, as it wouldn't do him any good.

However, Helian Yin was like a mountain pressing down on them. If he didn't move, neither he nor the other princes could continue to be suppressed.

The emperor had already indicated his intention to make him the crown prince, but because of Helian Yin, he hesitated to issue the imperial edict, fearing that Helian Yin would rebel.

Unfortunately, his illness worsened, making it increasingly difficult for him to eliminate Helian Yin's support.

That's why Helian Jingyu was more anxious than the other princes, since the throne was already beckoning to him.

So he couldn't resist and decided to start with Yun Qing.

Using the woman Helian Yin cared about was a tactic he often employed; he was very familiar with it!

Jiang Yunyan was so afraid of Helian Yin back then, not only because of Helian Yin's bad reputation, but also because of his influence.

Helian Yin and Jiang Yunqing seem to be quite affectionate now, but he believes that with a little provocation, it wouldn't be difficult to win Jiang Yunqing over to his side.

He just didn't expect Jiang Yunqing to be so naive. Wouldn't she think things through?

He simply stopped pretending and said directly, "Hasn't my royal aunt ever considered that my royal uncle's marriage to you has ulterior motives?"

"For example, protecting Jiang Yunyan."

Yun Qing: Huh?

She earnestly inquired, "What does marrying me have to do with protecting Jiang Yunyan?"

If Helian Yin wanted to protect Jiang Yunyan, shouldn't he have married her and kept her by his side to ensure her safety?

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Helian Jingyu explained gently, "The situation is not good right now, and the people around the Imperial Uncle are inevitably in danger."

"Think about it, how could the Imperial Uncle, who liked Jiang Yunyan so much before, change his mind so easily?"

"What a coincidence, at such a dangerous time, he abandoned Jiang Yunyan and married you..."

Yun Qing suddenly realized, then her face turned red with anger, "He's using me as a shield for Jiang Yunyan?!"

"No way! I have to go find him and get to the bottom of this. Why is he treating me like this!"

She said this and got up to leave angrily.

Hurry! Get out of here!

Fifth Prince: ? ? ?

Grandma, do you even have a brain?!

Can I just ask him directly? If it's true, aren't you afraid that after you expose him, he'll imprison you and use you as a target?

Helian Jingyu certainly couldn't let Yun Qing go directly to ask Helian Yin, otherwise his conspiracy would be exposed.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager glanced at Yun Qing and spoke, "Sit down, what's the rush?"

Yun Qing: ...Can't you just keep pretending to be deaf and dumb?

She finally understood the Empress Dowager's attitude.

She was clearly helping the Fifth Prince plot against Helian Yin, but she also hypocritically cherished that sliver of maternal affection.

So she didn't personally provoke him, but instead let him sit there and let the Fifth Prince stir things up.

Yun Qing was furious. What did she take Helian Yin for?

The emperor and the regent were both her biological sons, and when the two fought, she was indeed in a difficult position.

But she should know that the current situation is caused by the emperor's inability to tolerate Helian Yin, and Helian Yin himself has no ambition to usurp the throne.

She doesn't bother trying to persuade the emperor anyway, since he probably won't listen.

If she were to let things fizzle out and not help anyone, Yun Qing could understand.

But why was she so biased, choosing to side with the emperor and have Helian Yin die?

It was clearly Helian Yin who secured a way out for the mother and her two children.

To put it bluntly, Yun Qing felt that Helian Yin had raised two ungrateful wretches.

How heartbroken Helian Yin must have been!

Yun Qing was heartbroken, but she still didn't send him to the study that night.

Yun Qing sat back down, lowered her eyes, and slowly took a deep breath.

Calm down! We can't hit the Empress Dowager.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager and the Fifth Prince, the way she sat there with her eyes downcast looked like she was extremely aggrieved.

The Fifth Prince pressed on, saying, "Aunt, do you think you can hear the truth if you just ask Uncle like that?"

Since Yun Qing couldn't leave, she decided to stall for time, thinking that Helian Yin would definitely find a way to rescue her.

She asked cooperatively, "Then what should I do? If he really dares to treat me like that, I... I'll make him pay!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and forcefully wiped away her tears, bursting into tears of anger.

Helian Jingyu had a better understanding of the situation. It seemed that her uncle truly doted on her; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoiled her to the point of being somewhat out of control.

This is a good thing for him; the more Helian Yin cares about Jiang Yunqing, the more valuable this pawn becomes.

“Aunt, you should know a bit about Uncle’s methods. If he was deceiving and using you from the beginning, you should ask him directly. If you anger him, no one can guarantee what he might do.”

Yun Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly showing some fear, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I'm not afraid of him..."

Helian Jingyu was satisfied with her reaction and continued, "Aunt, Jiang Yunyan is your sister and your husband is your husband. They are both close to you. If you pay attention, you will definitely be able to find something amiss between them."

"Think about it, hasn't Jiang Yunyan always been unsure whether her royal uncle doesn't like her?"

"Have you ever wondered why, after suffering so much, she still firmly believes that the Imperial Uncle loves her?"

Yun Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Because the prince has always been deeply in love with her..."

She fell silent, seemingly unwilling to believe the conclusion she had reached, and struggled to say, "But the prince is now very cold and ruthless towards Jiang Yunyan. He even had her legs broken and poisoned to make her mute."

Helian Jingyu shook his head and said, "If that weren't the case, how could those who wanted to scheme against the Imperial Uncle believe that he truly didn't care about Jiang Yunyan? What seemed like harm was actually for protection!"

Yun Qing: ? ? ?

Do you have something wrong with your brain, or do you think I have something wrong with my brain? Or do you think Helian Yin has something wrong with his brain?

Because he was worried that others would hurt her, he stabbed her twice before anyone else could do anything.

This protection is absolutely crucial!

But she had to pretend to be persuaded, pursed her lips, and forced herself to ask, "Why did Your Highness the Fifth Prince tell me all this?"

Helian Jingyu looked at her and sighed softly, "I just don't want my aunt to be kept in the dark forever."

Helian Jingyu had a pair of captivating eyes that looked gentle and affectionate, which was very deceptive. The way he looked at people when he spoke, coupled with his intimate and ambiguous tone, made it hard not to have some thoughts.

Yun Qing: !!!

Although she was good at acting, she also wanted to play along, pretending to be won over by him and helping Helian Yin to scheme against him.

But this drama can't continue like this, or the jealousy will explode!

So she pretended not to understand Helian Jingyu's hint and looked at him suspiciously, as if trying to figure out what his intentions were.

Fifth Prince: ...So stupid, what does Helian Yin like about her!

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, you cannot force your way in! Please allow me to announce your arrival..."
