At this moment, the two of them were only a step apart. He wanted nothing more than to tightly embrace her in his arms and not let go of her for the rest of his life. However, she was already his brother's woman and there was no fate between them now …

"Have a pleasant journey. Take good care of yourself when you get there. If possible, I hope that you can find time to come back and visit us every year." Cen Xue thought for a moment and could only tell him to take care of her.

Helian Jue hesitated for a long time. He had a lot of things he wanted to say to her, but when she really stood in front of him, he didn't know how to begin.

Cen Xue could see his doubt. She smiled and said, "Do you have something to say to me?"

It was impossible for him to lure her here just to tell her this news. There must be something else he wanted to tell her.

"This King... No, I... "I have a request, I don't know …" Helian Haoyan stuttered. For a moment, even the way he addressed Li Yao changed.

"Say it. No matter what request you have, as long as it isn't a crime, I will agree to it." Cen Xue came in a straightforward manner. Since he had decided to leave, they could be considered to have drawn a clear line between them in the future.

The next time they met, perhaps he would have already found a woman that truly loved him in Red Mountain City.

"Cen Xue, I want to hug you one last time, just this once." Helian Jue hesitated, but still said it.

Cen Xue raised her head and met his hopeful eyes. Suddenly, she smiled and nodded, "I can …"

Helian Jue was overjoyed at Cen Xue's unthinking promise, but he also knew that this was just a parting hug, and that he wasn't as intimate as he thought.

Cen Xue walked up and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist, burying her face in his embrace. "My prince, I believe that you will definitely find a princess who loves you."

"Thank you, Cen Xue …" Upon saying that, Helian Jue boldly kissed the top of Cen Xue's head.

"What are you doing?" At that moment, the study room's door was suddenly forcefully pushed open by someone. A furious voice came from outside the door.

The two who were tightly hugging each other immediately separated. When Cen Xue saw who it was outside the door, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. It turned out that she was standing still and that what happened just now happened to be seen by him!

"You guys, it's really good …" "One is Gu's favorite concubine and the other is Gu's younger brother. They actually colluded with a bunch of people to deceive Gu, and let the two of you meet here, right?" Not long after Cen Xue and Keser's carriage left the palace, Helian Lie followed them out as well.

He specially made a trip to Helian Fu's residence and found that he was not in the manor. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Cen Xue did not have any guards guarding her, so it was very likely that they …

When he arrived at the Xiao manor, Yuwen Tuo and Dan Yu Wu were immediately shocked. He saw the shock on their faces and ordered that no one was to leave the hall. He personally asked Xiao Boyi.

If they were just talking, he could let them go for the time being, but what were they doing now? They actually embraced each other, and his younger brother even affectionately kissed Cen Xue's hair.

"Hey, listen to me. It's not what you think." Cen Xue rushed forward and grabbed his arm in an attempt to explain.

Helian Shan's eyes reddened. Looking at her beautiful face that was filled with lies, he said, "Explain what? I personally witnessed it. You still need to quibble. What else do you need to hide from me?"

"Brother Wang, you really misunderstood. Just now, I asked Cen Xue to give me a hug before I left. That was all." Helian Jue also stepped forward to defend himself, but the current Helian Zhang simply didn't listen to him.

Yuwen Tuo and Dan Yu Wu also rushed over outside the door. Zhao Chengde was afraid that the matter would spread and ordered all of the Xiao family's servants to not take a step near the study room while he guarded the door.

"Han, calm down. Nothing really happened. I just wanted to see Cen Xue right before we left." Dan Yu Wu ran to Cen Xue's side to support her, and helped her explain to Helian Lie.

"That's enough. You're all in the same group now. Don't think that I don't know anything. Also, I'm the monarch of Lou Lan Country now. I'm not a name you can casually call me!" Helian Shan's extremely unfriendly eyes stared at One-Feather Dance. If it was anyone else, he would have killed her with a palm strike.

"F * ck, we're really innocent. Can you believe me …" Cen Xue came to his side once more, unwilling to give up as she tried to explain the misunderstanding.

"Scram..." I don't want to see you again! " Helian Lie forcefully pushed Cen Xue away and turned his back to her.

Helian Jue saw that Cen Xue didn't listen to his explanation and pushed her away. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart as he stood in front of her and shouted, "Don't think that the king is so amazing. You are not fit to sit in that seat!"

The words of Helian Jue were clearly too excessive, causing Helian Lie to become even angrier. No one had just come to provoke him and question him. Today, he was the first to do so!

He mercilessly swung his fist towards Helian Jue. With his immense strength, he punched Helian Jue to the ground, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth …

"Ah …" Dan Yu Wu cried out in alarm as she released Cen Xue and rushed forward to help Helian Fu up.

On the other side, Yuwen Tuo was also holding the furious Helian Lie back: "Wang, calm down. The Prince is your younger brother!"

"Shut up, from today onwards, his Helian Acupoint has nothing to do with me! If he still remembers that he is the younger brother of Gu, then he would not have any ill thoughts towards Gu's woman, his royal sister-in-law! " Helian Lie was so angry that he pointed his finger at Cen Xue, who was still in a daze.

Cen Xue's heart was a mess, what should she do, and how would she be willing to believe that they were innocent?

"Dang, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Stop hitting me, if it wasn't for me, then just hit me. If I hadn't appeared, you wouldn't have ended up like this." This was what the ancient people had always said about a beauty disaster. It seemed like this was what she was like.

Helian Lie turned his head to glare at Cen Xue and didn't say anything else. He pushed away Yuwen Tuo's obstruction and lowered his head to glare at her angrily. He had given her a chance to speak the truth, but she didn't choose to do so and still lied to him.

He, Helian Lie, had never cared so much about any woman, including Yu Wu. Only she, Lin Cen Xue, had only known him for a few short months, yet he held her in his arms, afraid that he would throw her, and that he would hurt her too much. He treated her with all his heart and even neglected the entire imperial harem, all for the sole purpose of spoiling her …

It was unknown if the heavens were deliberately punishing him, or if he was blind, but the sincerity that he, Helian Shan, had given was completely ruined by her.

Helian Jue stood up, afraid that Cen Xue would be angered by his punch. He had already lost his rationality, and could no longer differentiate between green and red.

However, Helian Lie did not move at all. He could only stare at Cen Xue's face and watery eyes that he was infatuated with. What? He had already lost trust in her. How many more things was there that he was hiding from her?

"Boom …" Cen Xue's eyes were filled with tears as she softly called out to him.

Her tears seemed to have lost their effect at this moment. Helian Lie did not pay. His black eyes revealed a hint of disgust as he stared at her. He began to hate this woman. He hated this woman!

The rest of them stood by Cen Xue's side and broke out in a cold sweat. No one knew what would happen to Helian Lie next. One Feather Dance returned to Yuwen Tuo's side and furrowed her brows, worriedly watching the two's current situation.

A moment later, Helian Lie finally had a reaction. He didn't make a move to assault Cen Xue, nor did he say a word to her. He only took a few steps back in silence before turning around and leaving the study room with a resentful and disappointed back.

"Boom …" Cen Xue stood on the spot and called out to him. As she watched his retreating back, she wailed and fell to the ground.

Helian Lie left and did not say another word to her. Instead, he gave her a disappointed look …

Hot tears welled up in her eyes. She really did something wrong this time. She shouldn't have lied to him. It was her fault. It was her fault!

"Cen Xue, quickly get up." One Feather Dance helped her up and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Yu Wu, tell me, what should I do now?" Her heart was so confused and frightened that she was afraid to abandon her and not listen to her.

"Calm down. Listen to me first. Go back to the palace and have a good talk with Li. Tell him what happened today in a calm manner. I believe Li will understand." In fact, Dan Yu Wu wasn't confident either. After all, from the look in her eyes just now, if it was possible, he would have really killed them.

Nodding his head, Cen Xue could only do so. Under the escort of One-Feather Dance, she washed her tear-stained face, and coincidentally, Doctor Keser had not left yet. When he saw the king angrily rushing out earlier, he knew that something must have happened, so he waited outside for Cen Xue, hoping to enlighten her.

Lan Qi-er helped her into the carriage, where she and Doctor Keser sat. Keser looked at her wronged and pitiful appearance before sighing. "Empress, it seems that you don't understand the king's personality well enough."

Cen Xue lowered her head and silently listened to what he said.

"Your majesty is a tough man, he has a tough body and a soft heart. You should know what he usually does to you, because in your majesty's eyes, you are his treasure. As long as your majesty is here, he will absolutely not let you suffer even the slightest bit. Right now, both of you have problems. The king believes that besides him, the Empress still has another man in her eyes. The Empress has to think of a way to make the lost confidence in you come back. " Heather spoke slowly, hoping that these words would be of some use to her.

Cen Xue was still silent as the carriage sped along the street. When they had just entered the city, the winter night had arrived earlier than summer. The commoners on the streets had already packed up their stalls and were preparing to go home to cook dinner.

Xiao Ling'Er's room was quite a distance away from the study. At this moment, she was sleeping, but she didn't know that today, her house was in chaos.

One Feather Dance gently tended to Helian Jue's wounds. Helian Lie's hands were very heavy as a punch was thrown, causing Helian Jue's face to swell and swell. It was impossible to look at his current appearance.

"Boyi, I'm really sorry about what happened today. I hope the king won't make things difficult for you." It was shameful to make such a scene in someone else's house.

"Don't worry, I believe that the king is a person with a clear relationship between the public and the private. He shouldn't make things difficult for me." Xiao Boyi was covered in the scent of books. Compared to Yuwen Tuo and He Consecration, he seemed particularly weak.
