She remembered the king's temperament and his murderous gaze from yesterday. If it were any other master, their heads would have fallen to the ground long ago.

The king treated his master very differently. She had been by his side for months, and had seen everything clearly. The king had only been angry for a moment, so he wouldn't ignore her.

"Let's hope so …" Cen Xue replied faintly, hoping that he would forgive her mistake this time.

Although her original intention was for his own good and she didn't want him to misunderstand her, she really didn't want to end up like this. This wasn't what she wanted, it wasn't …

She was worried in her heart, and there wasn't a trace of happiness on her face. If Lan Qi'er hadn't been here, she probably would have really started crying loudly.

Dan Yu arrived a step later than Xing Qing Palace and happened to run into Zhao Changde. He pulled her to the side and told her about the problem between the King and Xue Fei.

"What, moved to Yi Lan Palace?" Yiyu Wu also felt that this matter could not be resolved with just a few words. She passed the letter that stood tall to Zhao Changde, asking him to help deliver it to the king.

She personally went to find Cen Xue and believed that the current her would definitely need someone to comfort her.

Cen Xue hid in the house and stood by the window looking out. This was not Xingqing Palace, when she opened the window she could only see the backyard of Yi Lan Palace, not the lotus pond that Helian Lie had specially built for her.

Had she been sent to the cold palace? Had he abandoned her?

Looking out the window at the desolate courtyard, it was already about to enter winter. The leaves in the courtyard had all fallen onto the ground, making it seem exceptionally desolate …

"Mistress, Miss Yu Wu has come to see you." Lan Qi'er's voice sounded outside the door, followed by her figure.

Cen Xue put away her sadness and walked towards Dan Yu Wu. Even though there was nothing wrong with her face, her reaction was too calm, making Dan Yu Wu feel that she must be very sad right now.

"Cen Xue, are you alright?" Dan Yu went up to comfort her.

"It's fine, it'll be fine after a while …" She was deceiving herself, and this time she could see that Li Shi was truly angry, very angry.

Dan Yu Wu no longer asked and took out her letter to hand it to her, "He left early. He had his servant deliver this letter to you. Take a look at it."

Cen Xue's heart skipped a beat. Even the prince had left but she was still worried that he would be implicated if he left.

Lan Qi'er was sitting at the table, preparing some refreshments. Cen Xue quietly finished reading the letter without any expression on her face. She only let out a small sigh …

"Are you alright?" Dan Yu Wu held her hand and asked worriedly.

"Nothing, nothing …"

"Don't be sad, I believe Li Shan is just temporarily angry. Give him some time, and he'll be fine." Dan Yu couldn't think of anything else to say, so she consoled him.

"Yes, I think so too …"

On the other side, when Helian Lie had just returned to the imperial study, Zhao Changde immediately delivered Helian Jue's letter. "Wang, Third Prince left early this morning with a few trusted aides and went to the Red Mountain Pass City. This is the letter that the Prince entrusted Miss Yu Wu to deliver to you."

Helian Zhang glanced at the letter in his hand and did not say a word. He picked up the imperial report in front of him and completely ignored the letter.

Zhao Chang De didn't know what to do, he thought for a moment, then placed the letter on the side of the table and slowly retreated.

A few hours later, Helian Lie had finished reviewing the imperial reports. He glanced at the letter in the corner of his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he ordered the eunuch who was waiting outside, "Men, burn this letter."

"Understood …"

Helian Shan was currently raising his head. He did not want to see or know what was written inside!

"Zhao Changde, go to the Huaxin Palace and inform them. We'll be sleeping tonight!" Helian Lie added expressionlessly.

Zhao Chang De answered and went to the Huaxin Palace, where he found that Beauty Ji had been neglected for a few months. He initially thought that there would be no day for him to make a breakthrough, but to his surprise, she found him once again.

"Mistress, it seems that the king still has your place in his heart." The palace maid then flattered him.

Her good days were about to come, and she thought that she would have to resort to some tricks to pull the king's heart back. It seemed like her plan was unnecessary.

Earlier, she had heard them gossip at the imperial harem and say that Xue Fei often went out to meet men. Seeing how angry the king was this time, it was entirely possible that he had turned that woman out of the Palace to see if it was true.

"Hahaha …" It was indeed the best way for her to stay still and take advantage of the situation.

The sky gradually darkened. After accompanying her in Yi Lan Palace for an entire afternoon, Dan Yu Wu left. She originally thought that he would come here to find her at night, but when night fell, the entire palace was shrouded in darkness, but she still didn't see his figure.

"Mistress, it's already late at night. Let's have dinner first." Lan Qi'er had already heated the food twice, but the food on the table hadn't moved at all.

"Qi'er, the king isn't coming, is he?" With tears in the corners of his eyes, he asked weakly.

Lan Qi'er already knew that the king wouldn't come tonight, but she didn't dare tell her master. Seeing her master's current waiting expression, she couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

"Mistress, the King won't come anymore. Tonight, the King went to visit the Beauty of the Tone Palace. We should eat first and not get hungry, alright?" Lan Qi'er's heart wasn't in a good mood. She couldn't help her master in this way.

In fact, Cen Xue had long since mentally prepared herself. She knew that Li Shi wouldn't come looking for her tonight, and would instead go to another woman's place. However, when the time really came, it would be difficult for her to accept this fact.

Silently, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks, eating dinner mechanically without saying a single word. She just quietly ate the dishes that Lan Qi'er had picked up from her bowl.

Lan Qi'er accompanied her at her side. She knew that her master's heart was in pain, so she no longer said anything to provoke him.

Late at night, lying alone on this unfamiliar bed, she finally understood why Bai Bingxuan hated her so much. Although the bed was very soft and comfortable, deep in her heart, she still felt very cold. She curled up her body and hid under the blanket.

Huaxing Palace

Helian Lie dejectedly drank a few cups of wine. Then, he carried the beauty Ji beauty and jumped onto the bed. He roughly tore off the clothes in front of her.

"Your Majesty, don't be hasty …" He wiggled his slender waist and purposely moaned in a flirtatious manner as he had never seen the King in such a rush.

Helian Zhang looked at this heavily made up face and was startled. He … He actually did not react. Damn it, a familiar and hateful face appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty …" Seeing that there was no reaction from the king again, Ji Mei took the initiative to place her slender arm around the king's neck and brought her body before the king's eyes.

However, he didn't know that the more she did so, the more disgusted he felt. He turned out the candles in the room and ordered the woman: "Cover your eyes and don't talk. Wait for me to come back."

"Yes …" She didn't know what the king was thinking, but she still did as he said.

A moment later, a figure returned to the room once again. His large hand caressed the white skin of the beautiful woman and kissed her collarbone, impatient to remove her last line of defense …

"Mm …" She didn't dare to speak, didn't dare ask the king why he was doing this, but tonight, Wang Kanghai's warmth had completely engulfed her.

A male and female groan came from inside the room. Helian stood firmly in a dark corner outside the window. Listening to the voices inside, he turned around and left with an expressionless face.

He must have been cursed by that hateful woman, which was why he did not have any reaction to other girls. The man who was having sex with the beauty in the room was actually the White Tiger, and the three of the four bodyguards were all similar to him.

Those women had nothing to do with Helian Lie and could be considered as rewards. Although the White Tiger was unwilling, it could not help but obediently walk into the room with the imposing gaze of an overlord staring at it.

Helian Lie stood on the roof of Yi Lan Palace under the night wind. Cen Xue's room was right under his feet. It was unknown what his intentions were as his footsteps brought him here. He stood there silently for the greater part of the night before he left.

At this moment, the White Tiger had already left Lady Ji's room. The King would never stay with her, so after completing the orders from the King, he immediately left, not missing that gentle and fragrant moment.

On the first day of the year, Helian Shan acted the same as usual. Cen Xue had calculated his arrival time and brewed a pot of soup, wanting to send it to him in the imperial study. However, she was stopped by Zhao Changde outside the door.

It didn't matter. She could wait. Four hours later, she went back to the imperial study, but the eunuch told her that the king had already left for the palace.

It didn't matter, she could still wait. She believed that Li Shan would definitely return to her side!

She hadn't seen him for three days in a row. When she went to find him in the royal study, he always avoided her and kept her out of the door. At night, he stayed with the concubines.

"Master, master …" At that moment, Lan Qi'er ran in frantically.

"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" This girl had always been a steady person. What was going on today?

"Servant …" "This servant saw …" Lan Qi'er hesitated, unsure if she should tell her.

"Hurry up and tell me, what happened?" Cen Xue faintly felt that this matter should have something to do with her.

Lan Qi'er thought for a moment, then said, "Just now, this servant saw an old wet nurse bringing a few young ladies into the palace, so I asked around. So those women were beauties that the king told Zhao Changde to find outside the palace, and said they wanted to bestow the title of 'beauty'."

"Oh …" Cen Xue's reaction was very calm, as if she had already thought things through.

When Lan Qi'er saw her reaction, she became terrifyingly calm. The more this happened, the more worried she became. It seemed that she still had to invite Miss Yu Wu to the palace.

The smart Lan Qi'er couldn't casually leave the palace as a palace maid. Fortunately, Eunuch Zhao had always been good to his mistress, so she asked the Prime Minister to bring a word to Miss Yu Wu, hoping that she could enter the palace tomorrow to accompany her mistress.

At this moment, Cen Xue's heart was as calm as lake water. The frolicking sounds of the Queen's Dew in the imperial harem rang out from the mouth of the palace maid, but the King did not come to see her this time.

The harem was a very realistic place. Everyone was saying that Xue Fei had already fallen out of favor, and the king had asked her to move out of Xing Qing Palace in order to chase her away.

For a moment, it was as if she had been isolated within the palace. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about her overnight, because she was no longer the favorite concubine of the king!

Arriving at the small lake, this was her usual favorite place. Currently, she had no mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery here. She could only sit there blankly with listless eyes, looking at the scenery in front of her.
