"Idiot, Gu Gu said that I don't care about your looks. As long as it's you, Cen Xue, I will treat you wholeheartedly." Helian Lie said. He cupped her face, lifted the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head to cover her ice-cold lips.

Inside the carriage, the two of them tightly embraced each other. It was freezing cold outside, but their hearts were brimming with a warm, blissful flow …

Dan Yu Wu helped her grandfather walk at the front and waited for the carriage to return to the front of the city gate. The two people inside the carriage kissed each other passionately and had long forgotten about everything else outside the carriage.

"Welcome, your Majesty, to the imperial court …" The carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and DuoXiong led a group of civil and military officials to welcome the king.

Cen Xue, who was still in the midst of a hot kiss, heard the call from outside the carriage. Her eyes froze, and she immediately pushed Helian Shan away, saying, "Han, we're here. Hurry and get off the carriage."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Helian Lie found it funny. He pulled her back into his embrace and whispered into her ear while exhaling hot air, "Why are you so anxious? This is only a city gate!"

Cen Xue didn't understand what he meant, and soon heard Helian Shan shout out from behind her, "Go back everyone. It's freezing cold now, so there's no need to be so polite anymore."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Everyone said in unison.

After he finished speaking, the officials dispersed. The carriage continued to move forward, and Helian Lie leisurely embraced his beauty within the carriage, directly entering the palace …

Yuwen Tuo led the fifty thousand elite soldiers back to the military field before returning to the residence. However, seeing Yu Wu outside the city gates had already soothed his yearning for her.

"Yu'er, let's go back." When Dan Xiong saw his granddaughter looking towards the direction Yuwen Tuo left in, he sighed in his heart, "I can't let a girl stay in this place any longer."

"Oh …" One Feather Dance's thoughts had long followed Yuwen Tuo to the drill grounds. How could he have heard his grandfather's laments?

However, Dan Xiong was very satisfied with Yuwen Tuo. As long as that boy came to the mansion to propose marriage, he would immediately agree! He was definitely not a family member, but this way, he was also worried for the two of them. He couldn't afford to lose Yu Wu too much time, he could only wait two years for him at most.

The dancers followed their grandfather home, but their hearts were already with Yuwen Tuo. Even though they hadn't seen each other for half a month, they still missed each other so much.

Dan Xiong looked at his distracted granddaughter in the carriage and lightly coughed. He asked, "Yu'er, if you can't wait, then you don't have to worry about grandpa. Go whenever you want."

Dan Yu's flushed face looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean can't wait any longer?"

"Okay okay, you are grandfather's granddaughter, what is your own granddaughter thinking? Can't I, as your grandfather, see through it?" Dan Xiong smiled as he sized up his proud granddaughter. If it weren't for the fact that her parents died young, she would have been even more outstanding than she was now.

Being hit by her grandfather's words, Dan Yu Wu shyly glanced at her face and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Don't say anymore, I'm not like you think." Dan Yu's face had already turned completely red.

Ever since Helian Jue had told her the truth, she mustered his courage and forced Yuwen Tuo to speak his mind. That night, the two of them sailed across the lake and often went out together, envious of the bystanders!

"Yo, grandpa is still not telling the truth. If grandpa doesn't tell the truth, then grandpa will make a mess of a couple for you …" The more Dan Xiong spoke, the more excited he became. In truth, he only wanted Yu Wu to become anxious in front of Yuwen Tuo so that he would be enlightened and come knocking to propose marriage.

"Grandfather …" If you dare to betroth me to someone else, I won't be in a hurry with you! " This was a crucial point of the Single Feather Dance. It was not that she was not anxious, but he had yet to achieve any merits for Lou Lan and did not want to start a family.

The mere mention of this made her anxious. Dan Xiong knew that he had used the correct method and successfully forced Yu Wu into a corner. His goal was achieved, so he decided to stop at this point.

The grandfather and grandson duo fell into a state of silence within the carriage, but the things that they were thinking about in their hearts were the same.

Yuwen Tuo, who was currently counting out troops on the drill grounds, only wanted to finish what he was doing quickly. He missed Yu Wu very much, and his mood right now confirmed the words in the book, "It's been one day since we last met, it's been three years."

The king's carriage had just returned to the Black Turtle Sect. Zhao Changde had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw the symbol on the carriage, he immediately became excited. The king had finally returned …

Cen Xue lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see Zhao Changde greeting them outside with a pair of bloodshot eyes. This old eunuch had treated her pretty well, at least he had never felt sorry for her.

"What are you looking at?" Helian Shan didn't like her to take her attention away from him, so he pulled her hand down and let her look at him.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to take a look." Cen Xue replied indifferently. She seemed to have seen the scene when she left that day.

Helian Lie embraced her and smelled her scent. He loved the woman in his arms very much. He loved the smell that belonged to her.

Outside the palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs had already been waiting for a long time. Today, the king was bringing esteemed imperial concubine back to the palace, and they had already cleaned the house thoroughly, bringing back all of the gifts that esteemed Empress Snow had brought to Yi Lan Palace.

Lan Qi'er was the most excited. She thought that she would never see her master again, but when she heard that the king was going to bring her master back, she was so moved that she couldn't speak.

Cen Xue sat in the carriage as she looked at the scenery of the palace. Nothing had changed except the heart.

She turned her head to look at the man who had embraced her, leaning meekly on his chest, his small hands resting on his chest. She was attached to him like a little bird that was attached to a human.

"Greetings to the king for returning to the palace …" The carriage finally stopped moving forward.

Helian Shan pulled the cloak around Cen Xue, held her hand, and walked out of the carriage …

The cold wind blew against Cen Xue's face, and as she saw the words "Xing Qing Palace" on the palace door, she came back.

Cen Xue saw Lan Qi'er's figure amongst the group of eunuchs and maids. A happy smile hung on the corner of her mouth as she snuggled up to Helian Shan's side.

"Everyone, get up. Do whatever you have to do. Don't just stand there." Helian Lie led Cen Xue past a group of kneeling eunuchs and maids, straight into the great hall.

"Understood …" Only with the king's permission did the group of eunuchs and maids dare to disperse.

Lan Qi'er got up and followed behind Cen Xue. It was great to see that her mistress had returned safe and sound.

She knew that her master's heart was kind and that he would be blessed. The king had chased away all the imperial concubines and beauties of the imperial harem, leaving only her master behind. She believed that before long, the position of queen would belong to only her master!

Cen Xue returned to Xingqing Palace with a different frame of mind. It was as if the scene from that day was still fresh in her mind. His decisiveness, his callousness, and every word and sentence had hurt her heart.

Helian Shan brought her back to their own little world. Everywhere there were traces of their lovemaking, and the air was filled with their auras.

Cen Xue sat down on the bed and looked at Helian Shan, who was standing in front of her. She suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully, "When I was not here, did any of the imperial concubines or beauties come here?"

When these words were spoken, Helian Lie's eyes immediately widened. With a trace of displeasure on his resolute face, he asked, "Do you know what you're saying at this moment?"

"Yes, but I'd like to know if it is?" Cen Xue looked at him resolutely. During this period of time, he had been very amorous and amicable. He even brought back a few young and pretty ladies from the palace. She had also noticed this.

Although he later explained that the one who was fond of those girls was either the White Tiger or the Black Tortoise, but now that she thought about it carefully, she really didn't dare to believe it?

How could an exalted ruler of a country do such a thing? He was asking his imperial concubine to be favoured by his own imperial bodyguards. This was too excessive … Sigh, she really couldn't say it out loud!

Helian Shan also sat beside her, one hand tightly holding her hand. How could he not know what her thoughts were?

"I'll tell you one last time, other than you, I have never touched any woman. After I took you away from that night's banquet, I have never favoured any woman again. It is true that what I have told you is true, and it is up to you to believe it or not. However, this matter cannot be revealed. Helian Lie explained to her once again and warned her vigilantly.

Cen Xue looked at his serious and serious expression and believed that he was speaking the truth. It didn't matter if what he said was true or false, it was a humiliation to her family.

"Alright, alright, I was just casually asking. Don't be so nervous, I believe in you. But what you did was a bit too excessive for those imperial concubines." Cen Xue still could not accept his actions.

In Helian Shan's heart, however, there was only Lin Cen Xue. He held her in his arms for fear of falling down, and in his arms for fear of hurting her. The situation between the two of them was like fire and water.

"Those women are useless in Gu Shenwei's eyes. Just treat them as a bit of reward for Bai Hu and the rest. It's rare for him to give a woman to his personal bodyguards, but even that doesn't work?" Helian Shan didn't care about those women at all.

Cen Xue felt helpless. Her overbearing character as an emperor could not be changed. What had happened had already happened. It was too late for her to stop him now.

Leaning into his embrace, she once again returned to Xingqing Palace. Currently, she was the only imperial concubine left in the imperial harem. She hoped that they could live a peaceful and blissful life in the future …

She really didn't want to try the pain of separation again. She only wanted to live a peaceful life, as long as she had him by her side.

Their gazes met, and whenever they met, Helian Zhang would step forward uncontrollably and lower his head to kiss her soft red lips.

She was so sweet, so delicious …

"Ugh …" He kissed her passionately and the strong musky smell assaulted her nostrils. Lin Cen Xue felt as if she was about to be set ablaze by the heat in his embrace.

Hao Lianlian couldn't help but tear off the front part of her dress. Her clothes were tied with some kind of repeated ribbons, and he was too lazy to take them off. Relying on his great strength, he unceremoniously ripped apart the embroidered silk dress Cen Xue was wearing, revealing a light green undergarment underneath.
