Helian Lie looked at her adorable appearance. If he didn't agree, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to rest tonight. She had to have a temper with him!

"Alright, since you guys have already discussed this, how can I not agree?" Recently, the Azure Dragon will have to take care of some matters for me to take care of alone, so I'll let Black Turtle accompany you out of the palace. Remember, don't go too far away, if you do good things, then go back to the palace, don't let me worry about you, okay? " Helian Shan hoped that she would always be in his line of sight, worried about her safety.

Cen Xue didn't think too much about it. With the vermillion sparrow, Black Tortoise, and a few bodyguards protecting her in broad daylight, what else could happen?

"Don't worry. I promise you, I'll just go to the Xiao Residence. I won't go anywhere else, don't worry!" Cen Xue knew that he wouldn't reject her, so she happily planted a kiss of victory on his face.

Helian Shan loved to look at her smile. So beautiful, so brilliant, like a peony in full bloom, warm fill his heart.

As long as he could see her smiling face every day, he felt especially happy. That entire day, his mood would be very good, this feeling was something he had never felt before, even when he was in love with her, he had never felt this kind of satisfaction. Perhaps, this feeling was called 'love'!

On the first day, in the imperial court, Meng Shihai invited him to perform and wanted to return to his hometown. Helian Lie asked him to stay for a few sentences, making the performance more realistic, but Meng Shihai insisted, allowing him to return to his hometown and bestow a thousand taels of gold on him.

The next step was to make Xiao Boyi take over the position of Prime Minister. However, he had just been promoted to the position of Governor, and did not have a year and a half's worth of time, so he absolutely could not do so. After thinking about it, he sent out an imperial edict to have the position of Prime Minister be taken over by the Grand Tutor.

While he was still in the civil service, he had always been restrained by Meng Shihai. Although he was a bit old, it was thanks to the fact that Yuwen Tai and he had been keeping Meng Shihai captive for the past few years, which prevented him from being so arrogant!

On the other hand, General Yuwen was also getting older and older. He could let Yuwen Tuo take over his position, but without his illustrious military achievements, if he were conferred the title of Great General, he definitely would not be able to convince the masses. However, if that kid was allowed to sit down, then he would definitely have a headache because of his character.

"Your Majesty, just the Imperial Tutor … oh, no, it should be the Prime Minister seeking an audience." Zhao Changde wasn't used to it at the moment.

"Pass it on." Helian Lie had come to discuss the selection of a successor for the great general with him.

His grandfather had brought her up, so he had sent her to the palace. She had grown up with a few princes and Yuwen Tuo, and he was also their mentor. All of the knowledge they had learned had been taught to them by him, bit by bit.

Dan Xiong walked into the imperial study with his elderly steps. Helian Lie naturally treated this teacher with different treatment, eliminating all formalities. Zhao Changde had even prepared a chair in advance so that he could sit and talk.

"Your Majesty, who do you prefer to be a general?" He didn't say much, so he went straight to the point.

"Unsatisfied with teacher, actually, Gu Jin thinks highly of Yuwen Tuo. Actually, in terms of experience, Yuwen Tuo is definitely better than Tuo, but you should know about his character. If he is allowed to ride on a 200,000 strong army, he will …" He was not going to say the rest directly, so he believed that his teacher could hear the hidden meaning behind his words.

"Yes!" Dan Xiong nodded his head. He had indeed thought this through carefully. That brat had fought with the king for the sake of a woman long ago. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but if it wasn't for that, then he was thinking for the sake of the tens of thousands of brothers in the army!

"My lord, perhaps you can appoint two people as generals at the same time. Of course, not now, but General Yuwen Tai will be training them, and in the future, each of them will be assigned a hundred thousand men. If I were to be led by them, I would have a lion." Dan Xiong spoke out his thoughts.

The general had always been a man of Yuwen Clan, and now that this generation had arrived at Yuwen Tuo, he was definitely qualified to be a great general. However, his performance in the past few years and his military merits were very much in the eye of the army, and if Yuwen Tuo was given the position of great general, the supporters of the resolution would definitely not agree. In that case, a confrontation between two groups of people was definitely not what he wanted to see.

"Good …" Just as his teacher had said, he hoped that General Yuwen would teach them to become geniuses. However, Teacher, this old man will have to trouble you to pay more attention to this matter! " Helian Lie had already decided on the future deployment of personnel. Right now, the imperial court was filled with people he trusted. He wanted the entire world to submit to him.

"Your Majesty, put it down. Boya is a very studious person, he can understand everything easily. His thinking is very nimble, and I believe that in the future, he will be a good helper for Your Majesty." Dan Xiong also greatly admired Xiao Boyi. The person the king had chosen this time was indeed not bad.

While the discussion was going well in the royal study, Cen Xue had already arrived at Xiao Boyi's house. Xiao Ling`er had heard from her brother that she was coming in the afternoon and had prepared tea and snacks for her.

This was his ancestral home, and from the moment his grandfather's generation came to the capital to do business, his Xiao family had always lived here. Moreover, he didn't like doing business here, so he chose the official position.

"Esteemed wangfei, this one is very grateful to have obtained the assistance of the esteemed wangfei. This younger sister has been waiting inside the hall for a long time, please …" The weather gradually turned cold and Xiao Ling'Er's health wasn't good. Xiao Boyi told her to wait in the hall and let him go out to greet her.

"What do you mean, 'Lord Xiao'? The gold will always shine. I was just playing a joke back to you." Cen Xue followed him in and saw Xiao Ling'er waiting for him at the entrance of the hall within a few steps.

Behind her, Keser followed. He checked the environment as well. It wasn't fancy, but it was elegant. It was a good place to live.

"This humble one, Xiao Ling'er, greets esteemed Snow Concubine." Ling'Er was a lady of a noble family. Even though Cen Xue had said that she wanted to be sisters with Ling'Er, she was still the Empress, so the etiquette should definitely not be lacking.

Cen Xue smiled politely and went forward to help her up. She asked with concern, "Are you alright? The weather is cold, so don't come out."

"It's nothing. I just heard from my brother that you were coming. I was just happy." Ling'er knew that she was a kind and good person. From the day they met on the street, to her brother's promotion, she knew that she was helping him from behind, giving him a chance.

Hei Zi looked at Xiao Ling'Er. From her expression, he could tell that she was sick. What a pitiful girl.

"I'm here to introduce you, this is Doctor Keser. His medical skills are extraordinary, and he came here specifically for Ling'er's illness." After drinking a mouthful of fragrant tea, Cen Xue began her introduction.

Xiao Boyi had long known of Keser's great name, but he had never seen him in person. Just now, he had always been following behind the Empress, and he had already guessed that this was the famous medicine woman, 'Keser'!

"I have long heard of Dr. Keser's name. My sister's illness came from my mother's womb, and the doctor at that time asserted that my sister's life was at most a dozen years, so my father went around looking for famous doctors. I am now sixteen years old, but year after year, my illness has become more and more frequent. I hope that Doctor Kessler can save my sister's life! " As Uncle Xiao spoke, he got up and pulled Xiao Ling'Er to kneel in front of Hei Se.

He hurriedly helped Ling'Er up and said, "If there's a way, I will definitely do my best. But Lord Xiao also said just now, your little sister has been suffering from this disease since she was born. Normally, this kind of disease cannot be cured. It can only be treated by suppressing the disease and delaying the patient's life."

Cen Xue sat by the side and listened to their conversation. In fact, Ling'er had a congenital heart disease. Not to mention in this underdeveloped medicine society, even in the modern medicine society, it was extremely difficult and dangerous for a patient with a congenital heart disease to have radical treatment.

"I only have this little sister left. She doesn't ask for anything else but to stay by my side for a longer period of time." Uncle Xiao grabbed Ling'Er's hand. Right now, the two siblings were relying on each other for survival, so they couldn't be separated from each other.

He nodded and told him to find a quiet place. He wanted to check Ling'er's pulse.

It was the first time that a man her big brother thought would enter her room. Black Turtle and Vermillion Bird were waiting outside the door while the other guards were also waiting for orders.

Cen Xue sat at the Eight Immortals' Table. Lan Qi'er followed behind Cen Xue, while Xiao Boyi stood nervously beside the bed, accompanying his beloved younger sister.

He then nodded his head and took out the silver needles in the medicine box, telling Ling'er to close her eyes and relax her entire body. After which, the silver needles began to distribute throughout Ling'er's body, causing Cen Xue to feel numb.

She really couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to go out to the courtyard. Lan Qi'er would accompany her, and Black Turtle and the Vermillion Bird would follow her and protect her from not too far away. Although this was Xiao Boyi's residence, Black Turtle and the Vermillion Bird still had to carefully protect her to prevent any mishaps.

Cen Xue sat on the swing without any hesitation. Lan Qi'er pushed her from behind, causing the swing to start swinging. She grabbed the rope on both sides and closed her eyes. It felt really good to be on the swing, as if she was flying.

Sitting on the swing, this made her suddenly think of someone, "Chunyu Qian", she remembered the first time she was similar to him. That time she was on the swing, but she didn't know what he was doing five years ago. How different was she from him five years later? She really wanted to meet him again when she had the chance, make friends, and be like Ruo Ruo, but Ruo Ruo was only twelve or thirteen years old right now, wasn't she?

When she thought of her friends, Cen Xue subconsciously smiled. In the distance, a pair of familiar eyes caught sight of her on the swing. She was as beautiful as ever, but she would never belong to him again.
