"This old servant deserves to die …" Zhao Chengde did not dare to explain himself, kneeling on the ground, not daring to say another word.

"Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, I order the four of you to immediately find him. Remember, he is completely unharmed!" Helian Lie had just possessed her. Recalling the intimate relationship between the two last night, he was unable to control the longing he felt for her.

"Cen Xue, Cen Xue …" In his heart, he was silently calling out to her. In fact, at that time, he really wanted to rush up to her and question her, asking her who the person she loved was.

But at that time, with Zhao Changde by her side and her younger brother by her side, it was simply unsuitable for him to charge forward and question her!

Facing Helian Jue's questioning, he asked himself repeatedly in his heart, "Is he the one who loves her, or is it her body and beauty?"

He definitely did not simply love her soft body and beautiful face. From the day he saw her back, he became curious about her, because that encounter at the lake made him want to find the unique beauty of her. He thought about her hairpin day and night.

Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger received the king's orders. Each of them brought a group of imperial guards to search the palace. With the fake mountain as the center, they split up and headed in four different directions.

Helian Lie didn't go to court today. He had beaten Prince Yu fifty times for a woman and put him in jail. Now, he had turned the entire palace upside down for that woman. It made all the ministers within the court speechless. Was it a witch?

Beauty is a disaster …

A few hours later, he still could not find the slightest trace of her. Seeing the sky gradually darkening, Helian Lie's heart started to become anxious with her disappearance.

It was all his fault for not stopping her from leaving. Logically speaking, she wasn't familiar with this palace, so where could she have hidden away to? Could it be that he had left the palace? That was impossible!

Suddenly, Helian Lie thought of the dance hall that had sent her into the palace to offer dance. Could it be that someone from the palace who knew her secretly sent her out of the palace?

"They're here! Send someone to search the Dancing Pavilion right away to see if they're in the dance hall!" Helian Lie faced the door and ordered. When the guards outside heard the king's words, the first thing they did was to notify the Azure Dragon Commander and ask him to arrange for people to leave the palace.

This time, he personally made a trip to the dance hall. After the performance last night, the owner of the Dancing Pavilion took the rest of her group back to the dance hall, not a single one was missing. He thought that Cen Xue would be happy in the palace, but he never expected that an accident would happen, so he definitely didn't bring Cen Xue out of the palace, nor did anyone from the palace help her!

As Helian Lie listened to the news that the green dragon had brought back, his heart became even more anxious. Time passed by, and a moment later, he was no longer able to calmly wait in the palace.

Growing up here, he was quite familiar with the layout of the place. Jumping up onto the tallest roof of the palace, he was able to see the entire harem clearly. He could also see the fake mountain that Zhao Changde was talking about, where Cen Xue had ditched Zhao Changde.

With a leap, a long and narrow figure appeared on top of the fake mountain. Helian Lie looked at the paths in the attachment, once they passed, they would pass by the Western Palace. Cen Xue must have ran into a small courtyard to hide, which was why the rice buckets were unable to find her.

Easily walking on the rooftop, Helian Lie surveyed the western palace from top to bottom. Not a single courtyard could be seen. Liu Court, Youlan Garden, Ling Bo Garden, Changchun Palace, Huaxing Palace … Taking a look at the dozen or so courtyards where the beauties of the imperial concubines resided, then Cen Xue must be hiding in some dark corner?

In the afternoon, there was someone who came in to search. She hurriedly hid in a corner under the bed, and those people who came in only casually glanced at them before leaving. Cen Xue did not dare to be careless and did not want to be found so quickly.

Perhaps it was because this place was very remote, but after searching once, they never came back. Fortunately, she had eaten her fill at noon, and now that she was down, she had no appetite, let alone felt hungry.

There were no lights in the room, so she was a little scared. She sat in the backyard, the place where she used to cool down, took out a chair, and sat down to look at the stars. When she felt the tiredness come over her, she went back to her room, curled up on her bed, and slowly fell asleep with a tear in her eye.

Helian Lie searched for five to six empty courtyards, but he couldn't find her figure. He looked at the words "Wen Yuan Pavilion" that floated in front of him. This should be the last empty courtyard in the Western Palace, right?

This courtyard was smaller than the few he had searched before, and the hall could be easily seen with a single glance. When he looked into the inner room, he, who had sharp hearing, seemed to have discovered that there was a second person in the house, because he could feel the sound of very shallow breathing.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He knew that she must be hiding here, and his footsteps were slowly moving forward. Helian Shan gently pushed open the door to the inner room, and with a glance, he saw the person curled up on the bed, fast asleep.

A self-evident joy surged from the bottom of his heart. Even he himself was unable to tell what this feeling was, but he was very, very happy …

He walked to her side and carefully lowered his head to look at her. This place was rather remote, and didn't have the slightest trace of human life. Seeing how thin her clothes were, and how her body was curled up in an embrace, Helian Lie's heart tightened.

It was impossible for Cen Xue to fall asleep in this kind of situation. There was a warm feeling on her cheek, which immediately caused her to wake up from her shallow sleep. Cen Xue was wearing an unfamiliar shirt, and the familiar smell of him instantly entered her nose, shocking her to the point of sitting up.

"Who …" A cry of surprise rang out. The moment she sat up, her petite body was pulled into a familiar embrace. She would never forget the familiar embrace, much less the familiar smell …

"Don't be afraid, I'm alone." A hoarse voice came from above her head. Helian Lie tightly hugged her and was unwilling to let go even for a moment.

Cen Xue didn't think that he would find her so soon. Even if he did, he definitely wouldn't have come looking for her personally, because he wasn't the same person as five years later, but the current him. She wasn't as confident in him as he was now!

"Let go, why are you still looking for me?" Cen Xue tried so hard not to cry, but just as she said that word, her tears started falling.

"If you're not here, then who will be the one to serve you?" The big hand holding her tightened a little, bringing her petite body closer to him, closer to him.

"Could it be that in your heart, Cen Xue is just like everyone else, a girl that serves you?" Breaking free of him, she asked him to answer her question.

Helian Shan looked at her for a long time without saying a word. He picked her up and ran back to Xingqing Palace.

Along the way Cen Xue stayed in front of his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat but not hearing his reply. She could not help but feel a layer of pain in her heart.

When Zhao Changde saw the king returning with Cen Xue in his arms, he excitedly ordered the palace maids to prepare a bath water and a meal. The beauty must be starving, and the king had yet to have any food, so he needed to prepare more.

Even though she had stopped crying, Helian Shan's silence pierced fiercely into Cen Xue's heart. Her heart ached so much that she felt like she was going to die soon. After returning to Xingqing Palace, she did not say a single word, but she had silently allowed him to control her, bathe, eat, and even sleep.

Helian Lie kissed her skin which was as white as water. He tightened his arms around her waist …

Looking at her expressionless face, Helian Zhang felt like he was a criminal at this very moment, forcing her to have fun with him.

Finally, this emotionless ending came to an end. Helian Lie laid by her side, looking at her expressionless face from the side, and his brows tightly knitted together.

"Speak, I order you to speak!" He was on the verge of going crazy from her appearance. Just what did she want to do to be able to return to her appearance yesterday?

Cen Xue maintained her current posture, but the corners of her mouth were twitching as she weakly said, "Wang, what do you want to hear from Cen Xue?"

Seeing that she finally reacted, Helian Lie wrapped his arm around her waist and turned her body around to face him. He looked at her and said emotionally, "I want you to say that you love me, and the man you love the most is me!"

Cen Xue looked at him and paused for a moment before numbly saying, "Cen Xue loves my lord, my lord is the man she loves the most …"

She had only mechanically satisfied his request. However, both of them knew that these words did not have any emotion in them at all!

"Ah …"

He was about to go crazy. He was going to be driven crazy by this woman, so why was it like this? Why was he forced to this extent by a woman he had only known for an entire night?

In the past, he had loved her deeply. Even if she had rejected him, he hadn't felt so uneasy and heartbroken as he did tonight. Why was that so?

His shout alarmed the palace maids and guards who were standing guard outside the door. They all gathered outside the door and cautiously asked, "Your Majesty …"

"It's nothing, scram …" Helian Lie cursed angrily as he sat on the edge of the bed with a face full of impatience. What on earth was he going to do to make her smile at him again?

"Wuwuwu …" Cen Xue's weak cries could be heard coming from within the blanket. She did not want to do this, but her heart was aching.

Helian Shan anxiously returned to her side and lifted the quilt. He looked down at Cen Xue, who had been reduced to tears. He hugged her with his long arms and lowered his head to kiss her eyes, nose, and lips …

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry …" Helian Zhang didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hold her tightly in his arms.

"Since Your Majesty does not love Cen Xue, why not send her away? "Cen Xue wants to go home …" After thinking for a long time in her heart, Cen Xue finally made this decision. This was also the final chance that she would give him.

Helian Haohan froze. How could he send her off and send her away from his side? This was absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Go back to where you came from. This is your home. Lonely is your man. Besides this place, you are not allowed to go anywhere else!" Helian Lie's heart was in pain. This was indeed a heart-wrenching feeling. It was not for the Single Feather Dance, but for another woman, "Lin Cen Xue."
