Chapter: 3619

Ye Chen himself didn't mince words; though he had never said it out loud, he was indeed in need of Helena to remember this - the throne is something he gave to her.

Therefore, Ye Chen told Helena's mother: "Don't be embarrassed, Mrs. Iliate. Helping Helena inherit the throne is my promise to her, and I naturally want to fulfill it wholeheartedly."

Helena then said: "Mr. Ye, would you have time to attend the coronation ceremony three days from now?"

Ye Chen smiled: "I've already told the Empress about this matter just now; as for myself, I don't want to make too much of a fuss, so your coronation ceremony is not one I'll be attending."

As he spoke, Ye Chen took out a quarter of the Revival Pill and handed it to Helena in front of the Empress, laughing: "This part of the Revival Pill can be considered as my congratulations gift to you, wishing you success in inheriting the throne ahead of time."

When the Empress saw Ye Chen's quarter of the Revival Pill, her eyes had already sunk into their sockets and couldn't be pulled out.

She had just personally experienced the miraculous effects of this medicine, so she was eager to take another part to further improve her physical condition.

But she didn't expect Ye Chen would give this Revival Pill to Helena.

However, her heart was also stirred a bit, because if this pill were in Ye Chen's hands and he didn't agree, it would be impossible for her to get it. But if it were in Helena's hands, the possibility of getting it would increase significantly.

Helena was also puzzled at this moment, thinking to herself: "Why did Mr. Ye give me this quarter of Revival Pill? I'm almost rootless in the imperial court now, with no one around except my mother who can be trusted. If he gives this pill to me, I'm afraid it's impossible for me to keep it... What if Grandmother has a change of heart? Then what would I do?"

Just as Helena was at a loss, Ye Chen smiled and said: "The physical condition of Lady Arietta is indeed quite poor. I see that she should still be under 50 years old, but her hair has already turned white halfway, and her mental state is also inferior to that of people of the same age. If we rely solely on slow nurturing, it's unlikely to recover within a year or half a year."

"And you will officially become the Empress in three days' time. At the coronation ceremony, if your mother's condition is too poor, it may also arouse suspicion from outsiders."

"So this part of Revival Pill is for your mother to use to adjust her physical body!"

The Empress, who had already started thinking about using the Revival Pill, was suddenly taken aback by Ye Chen's words. Her heart overflowed with strong disappointment.

She didn't expect that Ye Chen would give Helena the Revival Pill but also directly instruct her to have it given to her mother for consumption.

So, it means that I'll only take out this Revival Pill for you if you decide yourself.

Ye Chen naturally saw through the Empress's emotional change.

He was pretending to be absent-minded just to see if the Empress would covet this Revival Pill, and then he could remind her about it.

He wants the Empress to know that this Revival Pill is only used for Helena's sake, so she can't take any advantage of it.

Therefore, if she wants to continue getting this Revival Pill, she must sincerely hand over power, without leaving any room for tricks.

Otherwise, if this old lady changes her mind suddenly or refuses to release power after Helena ascends the throne, then even if Helena becomes the Empress, she will only be a puppet.

I took the trouble to help Helena ascend the throne so that she can grasp the real power of the imperial family and use its influence to expand my business in Europe.

If Helena is left high and dry by the current Empress, she won't be able to exert any real influence even if she's at this position.

Besides reminding the current Empress with this Revival Pill, Ye Chen also wants Helena to feel more grateful towards him.

I not only cured her illness but also saved her mother, even helped her clear obstacles and inherit the imperial throne. JrNovels.com
