Chapter 1721: A Feint

The Empress, who had originally started to set her sights on the Rejuvenation Pill, heard Ye Chen's words, and her whole person was stunned for a moment, a strong sense of loss surging in her heart.

She didn't expect that although Ye Chen gave Helena the Rejuvenation Pill, he directly specified that she should give it to her mother to take.

In this case, she was afraid she would have no fate with this portion of the Rejuvenation Pill.

Ye Chen naturally saw the change in the Empress's emotions.

The reason he made a feint was to see if the Empress coveted this portion of the Rejuvenation Pill. If so, he would give the Empress a reminder by the way.

He wanted the Empress to know that he would only take out the Rejuvenation Pill for Helena's sake.

Therefore, if she wanted to continue to obtain the Rejuvenation Pill, she must honestly do a good job of handing over power and must not be clever enough to leave any backhand.

Otherwise, if this old lady changed her mind temporarily, or after Helena ascended the throne, she was still unwilling to release the great power and completely hollowed out Helena, then even if Helena became Empress, she would just be a puppet.

He went on a trip to help Helena ascend to the throne so that Helena could master the real power of the royal family and use the influence of the royal family to help him expand his business in Europe.

If Helena was hollowed out by the current Empress, then even if she was in this position, she wouldn't be able to play any substantial role.

In addition to using this portion of the Rejuvenation Pill to give the current Empress a reminder, Ye Chen also wanted Helena to be more grateful to him.

He not only cured her illness but also saved her mother, and even helped her clear obstacles to inherit the position of Empress. Besides that, he even took out the precious Rejuvenation Pill to help her mother recuperate.

With so many favors placed here, he believed Helena would definitely keep it in mind in the future.

And Ye Chen didn't guess Helena's heart wrong. At this moment, her gratitude to Ye Chen could no longer be described in words.

All she was thinking about now was to do her best to repay Ye Chen's kindness to her.

Even if it meant she had to go through fire and water, she would not hesitate.

Helena, who was extremely moved, stared at Ye Chen with a pair of blue eyes without blinking, her voice choking, "Mr. Ye... you have been so kind to me. In this life, Helena will always revere you as the supreme one!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said with an indifferent smile, "Let your mother take the medicine."

"Okay!" Helena wiped away her tears and immediately put the quarter of the Rejuvenation Pill into her mother's hand, saying excitedly, "Mom, take this medicine quickly. This medicine was brought by Mr. Ye. Grandmother woke up from a deep coma because of it!"

Helena's mother looked incredulous and blurted out, "Is this medicine really so magical?"

Helena nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "I saw it with my own eyes. This medicine is really very magical! Take it quickly and you will know!"

The Empress's heart was bleeding at this moment.

She even prayed in the depths of her heart, praying that Helena's mother would not eat this portion of the Rejuvenation Pill, so that after Ye Chen left, she could still find a way to get this portion of the pill.

But just then, Helena's mother took the Rejuvenation Pill and put it into her mouth without hesitation!

At this moment, the Empress's heart immediately became extremely disappointed.

And Helena's mother immediately underwent a huge change visible to the naked eye!

First was her complexion, which quickly turned from pale and weak to spirited, rosy, and lustrous.

Secondly, her half-white hair actually turned back into shiny brown hair at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even more incredibly, even some of the wrinkles on her eyes and face faded rapidly in a short time, and a large part of the wrinkles disappeared directly!

The Empress was dumbfounded!

She never expected that Ye Chen's Rejuvenation Pill could not only save lives but even make a person return to youth!

Watching Helena's mother seem to be more than ten years younger, she envied her extremely.

In fact, a quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill did not have such a powerful effect, but Helena's mother had indeed had a very difficult time recently, so she had signs of aging rapidly. A person who was not even fifty years old looked like she was almost sixty.

And this quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill made her state return to the state she should have been at her actual age, and then on this basis, she became a few years younger, so she looked as if she had directly become more than ten years younger.

Although Helena's mother didn't have a mirror, she immediately felt the huge change in her body. She said happily, "This... this medicine is really too magical... I feel that my body has not only been completely restored, but it is even better than it was a few years ago..."

Helena also witnessed her mother's huge change with her own eyes and was moved to tears, crying, "Mom... you have suffered all these years..."

Helena's mother smiled lightly and said, "Don't say these things anymore. Isn't everything bitter and sweet now?"

Helena turned around and took a delicate mirror from a side table with a history of a hundred years, ran back, and held it in front of her mother, saying excitedly, "Mom, look! Not only has your body been restored, but your appearance has also become much younger!"

Helena's mother looked at herself in the mirror incredulously, and then couldn't control herself and shed two lines of hot tears.

Since her husband passed away, she had been worried about her daughter's body every day, and at the same time, she had to face various exclusions from the royal family, so her psychological pressure was great, and she didn't have the energy to dress herself up or protect her skin state like other noble ladies, so she was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye almost every day.

In the past two years, she didn't even dare to look in the mirror because she would feel that she had aged a few more points every day, and she already had the appearance of an old woman.

But she didn't expect that in such a short time, her whole person looked like she had returned to her early forties. Her hair, skin, and the complexion of her whole person had been greatly improved, simply like sitting on a time machine and quickly returning to a few years ago!

For a woman, appearance and temperament are really too important. So, she subconsciously looked at Ye Chen, her legs knelt on the ground involuntarily, and she said gratefully, "Mr. Ye, thank you for giving me a new life...! Thank you!"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "You are overstating it. It's just a small effort, it's not that exaggerated."

Helena's mother choked out, "You may not know how significant this is to a woman... To some extent, this makes me even more grateful than saving my life..."

The Empress on the side was extremely envious, and at the same time, she thought of Ye Chen's promise to her earlier, thinking to herself, "Ye Chen said he would give me a portion of the Rejuvenation Pill in two years, but this portion of the Rejuvenation Pill has already been eaten by Helena's mother. I don't know if Ye Chen has any extra Rejuvenation Pills... If not, wouldn't my wish fall through?"

Thinking of this, she gathered her courage and asked Ye Chen respectfully, "Mr. Ye... you said earlier that you would let me find you in two years. I wonder if you will still have the Rejuvenation Pill then?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out a handful of dark pills from his pocket, and said casually with a smile, "Here, see for yourself!"

When the Empress looked, her whole person was instantly dumbfounded!

She saw that there were nearly ten pills in Ye Chen's palm!

However, she didn't know that half of them were Rejuvenation Pills and half were Peiyuan Pills.

To someone like her who didn't understand, these pills looked about the same.

Therefore, she directly regarded all these pills as Rejuvenation Pills.

Seeing that Ye Chen had so many Rejuvenation Pills, she was naturally excited and unbearable. If she could, she would have liked to rush up immediately and grab one from Ye Chen's hand to eat.

But she also knew that she didn't have this strength at all. Even if the entire royal family was counted, it was just a drop in the bucket in front of Ye Chen.

Therefore, whether she could get this Rejuvenation Pill depended entirely on Ye Chen's mood.

Thinking of this, she couldn't care about being tactful and directly expressed her position respectfully, "Mr. Ye, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to help Helena hold power!" ===== CHAPTER 1722 =====
