"Aiyo, I was wondering who was here. So it's esteemed empress Snow Concubine." She was dressed in red and looked extremely alluring. From afar, Beauty Ji could see Cen Xue sitting there.

"Beauty Ji …" Lan Qi'er bowed slightly.

The beautiful lady glanced at Lan Qi'er before taking the initiative to sit opposite of Cen Xue, carefully sizing her up. This seemed to be the first time they had fought at such a close distance.

Looking at the woman who had once been doted upon by the king, and her haggard appearance, it seemed that the taste of the lower class married woman wasn't pleasant, right?

Cen Xue only gave her a polite glance. In the imperial harem, she was the concubine and was much higher ranked than her so there was no need to give her face.

"We are all the King's women, why do we have to be so arrogant and give looks to each other? I know that the king hasn't been to your place recently. You must be unhappy, right? "If the King were to go to my sister's place tonight, the Little Sister would definitely have the King go to the Big Sister's place. Look at how old you are." Her words were laced with thorns, and she purposely showed it off in front of her.

Even though Cen Xue felt wronged, she was not stupid enough to fall for her trap. Now that her harem was stained with rain and dew, and the king had brought in a few beauties, who could possibly be spoiled?

Looking at the triumphant face of the beauty Ji, she said without a hint of emotion: "I heard that the king has bestowed a few more young and beautiful beauties. Although I have lost my favour, I have also obtained the sole favor of the king for a few months. "I advise my sister to go back to the palace and dress up properly. Yesterday, I saw those beauties. They were so young and beautiful that I couldn't help but sigh …"

Cen Xue's words had given Ji Meiming a shot back. What was the use of having a long face? He secretly pointed at the new beauty that was even more beautiful than him. He was afraid that she would lose her favour …

Just as beauty Ji was about to reply, the sound of the Single Feather Dance came from afar. Cen Xue completely ignored the existence of the urgent beauty, stood up, and walked past her to welcome Yu Wu.

Seeing that this woman was so arrogant, but she was right, she couldn't lose to those few newbies. She couldn't care less what happens between them, so she got up and walked towards the Hua Yin Palace.

One Feather Dance received a message from Lan Qi-er. The next day, she came to the palace to accompany her. She didn't go to the palace to look for her. The palace maid said that she was by the lake, so she came here to look for her.

"Cen Xue, what is that woman trying to do?" The women of the harem were not easy to deal with as Dan Yu Wu cautiously asked her.

"It's nothing. I just came here to show off." Cen Xue would not be affected by her words.

"It's best if you're fine. Look at your pale face, I think you should leave the palace to get some fresh air. It won't take more than two days for us to go outside of the city to burn some incense on the Myriad Kingdom Temple, right?" I hope she goes out for a walk and is in a better mood.

"Myriad Kingdom Temple? I would like to go, but I don't know if I should? " Cen Xue was worried that Helian Shan would not let her leave the palace.

"It's alright. I'll tell Yuwen Tuo to go and tell Shi Shan about it. Just prepare yourself. I'll pick you up at the Black Turtle Sect when the time comes." One Feather Dance was absolutely sure that she would convince Helian Shan. Now that she had already decided to leave, there was no reason for him to not let her go.

Nodding his head, this was a promise …

Yuwen Tuo had personally gone to Helian Lie to discuss this matter. He thought that he would object very much, but it was the complete opposite. Without even thinking about it, he agreed to let Cen Xue accompany Dan Yu to burn incense in Myriad Kingdom Temple.

In a yard in the west side of the palace, a man sneakily entered. It was unknown what his intentions were.

"Tomorrow, Xue Fei and Miss Shi are going to the Myriad Kingdom Temple to burn some incense. Xue Fei, who has already lost her favor, no longer has a large number of guards around her. At most, she'll only have the Vermillion Bird!" The man informed his visitor who was standing in the dark.

"Is the news reliable?" The person speaking was a woman.

"Miss, please be at ease. It is absolutely reliable. At noon, Sir Yuwen personally came to the imperial study to find the king for him to mention. This little one secretly heard about it while serving tea. Absolutely reliable!" The man said confidently.

"Good …" This is your reward. Remember, don't let any rumors leak out! " With that, a bag of silver was handed over to him.

The man hurriedly opened it and saw that it was full of golden spindles. He smiled and assured her, "Don't worry, Miss. If this thing goes wrong, I won't be able to survive."

After the man left, another ten black-clothed men suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The woman ordered her subordinates to take out a case of silver and put it in the middle, saying in a very venomous and calm voice, "Did you hear what he said? Tomorrow, when that woman returns to the Myriad Kingdom Temple to burn incense, I want you all to ambush at the Myriad Kingdom Temple and then capture that woman here. After this is done, I will hand over another chest of gold to you all! "

"I didn't expect xiaojie to be so generous. Don't worry, we will definitely do as you say!" The man looked at the gold in the chest and said greedily.

"Good …" I'll wait here for you tomorrow, and for you guys, I'll wait for the other chest of gold! " The woman was full of confidence, seemingly very confident in this operation.

Yi Lan Gong

Lan Qi'er was preparing some things for tomorrow, and Cen Xue sat off to the side in a daze. During this period of time, she had nothing else to do but stare blankly.

He didn't expect Li Shan to agree so readily to her leaving the palace. Could it be that he really didn't love her anymore? With a worried face, what was she supposed to do in order to gain his forgiveness?

"Mistress, your servant has packed her things. Don't think too much. Rest early. We will be leaving tomorrow morning." Lan Qi'er comforted her and advised her to rest early.

She nodded. Luckily, Lan Qi'er had been by her side for the past few days. At least there was someone close to her. If she wasn't here, she really didn't know how she could survive in this deep palace …

Every night, Cen Xue would lose sleep and did not sleep until almost dawn. Dan Yu Wu waited for her at the entrance of the Black Tortoise Sect for an hour before seeing her carriage leave.

The Vermillion Bird rode in front on her beloved mount. It seemed that it was the Vermillion Bird that had sent Cen Xue out to protect her because it was worried about her safety.

In the horse carriage, Cen Xue only brought Lan Qi'er. The others were too unfamiliar with her and she did not like to bring a large group of palace maids out of the palace.

It could be seen that their feelings were getting more and more intense. Along the way, they often saw Yiyu Wu Chen lift up the curtain and stick her head out to see Yuwen Tuo's figure, and Yuwen Tuo seemed to have telepathically connected with her. In that instant, he turned his head to look at her smiling eyes.

Myriad Kingdom Temple is about ten miles outside the city, halfway up the mountain. It's burning with incense. It's the largest temple in Lou Lan Country!

The group of about 20 people soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. The carriage began to move up the mountain, and the road also started to bumpy.

"Yu Wu, are you alright?" "Why do I see that you don't look too good?" Cen Xue could see that something was wrong with her as soon as she reached the top of the mountain.

"It's nothing, it's just that the road is too bumpy and I feel a bit nauseous." Dan Yu covered her chest as she spoke.

"Mistress, quickly tell Miss Yu Wu to lie down. It'll be better if she lies down." Lan Qi'er placed a soft blanket on top of her and let her lie down.

This carriage was very big, and even if Dancing One-Feather was lying down, there was still a lot of room.

After bumping for over an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the foot of a flight of stairs. The moment it got off, Dan Yu could not stop vomiting, but it was somewhat more comfortable.

"Yu Wu, Yu Wu, are you feeling better? You're suffering from a car sickness and you need to find a place to rest." Cen Xue held her up, not expecting her to call him out to burn incense, instead she vomited like that.

Yiyu Wu nodded, indicating that she was fine.

At that moment, the abbot of the temple came out to greet them.

"This old monk's Primordial Light greets the Empress …" Before they had arrived, Yuwen Tuo had already sent someone to organize everything. He had the abbot clean out a few meditation rooms for them to rest in.

"No need for formalities, Master Yuan Guang, may I borrow your temple's meditation room to let Miss Dan rest for a while?" The road was too bumpy and she felt dizzy and sick. " Cen Xue looked worriedly at Dan Yu Wu.

"No worries, just rest for a while and have a cup of tea. The meditation room has already been cleaned and prepared. Please come over to the Empress." The abbot was a kind person, leading them to the temple's backyard.

It was unknown what the little monk gave to Yu Wu to drink, but he could see that her complexion had slowly improved.

"Cen Xue, I'm really sorry. I'll have to trouble all of you." Dancing lying on the bed, she looked at her with guilt.

"Don't talk nonsense. Have a good rest and have Yuwen Tuo accompany you. I'll go to the backyard and look around. When you're rested, we'll go together and sincerely burn incense together. We'll beg Bodhisattva to keep us safe and sound in the future!" He sat on the edge of the bed and softly held her hand.

"Mm, then go. Don't go too far. I'll be fine after a short rest." His complexion had already recovered quite a bit. As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at Yuwen Tuo who was beside him.

Cen Xue looked at the relationship between Yuwen Tuo and her and couldn't help but feel envy in his heart.

He didn't want to disturb them any longer, so he asked a young monk to take her to the garden behind the temple. The Vermillion Bird also went to her side to protect her.

However, after walking for a while, the mountain was humid and the weather was a little colder. Cen Xue had stayed here for a long time, and she could not help but rub her hands together in a cold manner.

"Master, Qi'er, go and get a cloak for you." Seeing that she was a bit afraid of the cold, Lan Qi'er took the initiative to speak up.

"Fine, go ahead. We'll wait here for you to come back." Cen Xue smiled. She really did feel cold here.

With that, Lan Qi'er turned and left. She quickly ran to the side room, leaving the Vermillion Bird to accompany her.

Cen Xue sighed heavily as she walked towards a small pond. It turned out to be a "Merit Pool"; she had heard that placing money inside would increase one's luck.

"Vermillion Bird, do you have crushed silver with you?" She had never brought money with her, so she could only ask the Vermillion Bird beside her for it.

"Yes." As she replied, the Vermillion Bird took out a money pouch and handed it over to her.

Cen Xue took a look and only picked up some crushed silver before tossing it into the Merit Pool. The fishes in the pool were still swimming around happily.

Suddenly, the fish in the pond seemed to have sensed something and they all gathered together. The Vermillion Bird by Cen Xue's side instantly felt an extraordinary aura in the air.

In a split-second, two streaks of blade radiance hacked towards them. The Vermillion Bird quickly unsheathed its treasured sword and pulled Cen Xue, who was still by the side of the pool, behind it.

The two black-clothed men landed in front of them. Their eyes were filled with killing intent as they stared at them.

"Vermilion Bird, who are they? Why would they want to kill us?" Cen Xue was afraid, but she was still clear-headed. She had never had any enmity with anyone, so how could these assassins be attracted to her?

While Cen Xue was still deep in thought, the two black clothed men had already launched their attacks towards her. The Vermillion Bird alone resisted the two black clothed men and wanted to protect her with its avatar.

The assassins came in full force. They wanted to kill the Vermillion Bird with every move, but the Vermillion Bird wasn't easy to deal with either. It wasn't something they could easily defeat.
