"Ruo Jian …" In the distance, Chunyu was worried that her sister might have gotten lost or gotten into some trouble in the palace when she saw how long it took for her to return. She quickly brought a few attendants to look for her.

As the two of them were deep in conversation, he ran over in a hurry. When he saw Ruo Ling with Queen Lou Lan, he thought that she had offended her again. However, judging from their smiles, it shouldn't be what he was worried about.

"Chunyu humbly pays his respects to the Queen." The first time he saw her at such a close distance, Chunyu Qian was so enchanted by her beautiful appearance that he didn't dare to raise his head to look at her.

Cen Xue saw that Chunyu's brother was here, but with the current situation and environment, it was better to keep a certain distance between them to prevent any further misunderstandings.

"There is no need for the second prince to be so polite. Are you here to take her back?" Looking at Chunyu Qian in front of him, he thought about how Chunyu Qian had helped him leave that gorgeous birdcage at all costs. In his heart, he felt extremely grateful to him.

He thanked him for his sincerity and for his care and protection during that time. Because of his selfishness, he had suffered a lot. He hoped that the trajectory of history would be reopened and he would be able to find the love that belonged to him.

Chunyu Qian and she looked at each other, feeling a sense of familiarity from the bottom of their hearts, but the two of them had only met for the first time, how could there be such a strange feeling in the bottom of their hearts?

"Yes, I haven't seen her back for a long time, so I was a bit worried, so I came out to find her." Chunyu is the second prince, elegant, extraordinary, in the East Ou women are also competing to look at the beautiful men.

Seeing that Brother Wang treated her like a child, Ruo Ruo looked unhappy, walked to his side and complained, "Brother Wang, this is Lou Lan's palace. What can happen to me? Besides, he's an adult and not a child. "

Cen Xue looked at Ruo Ling complaining and acting like a spoiled child, as if she had the same personality as her.

Chunyu rolled her eyes, and coldly said, "Alright, since you are an adult then alright. Now, can our Princess Ruojian follow me back to the main hall?"

Ruo Ling seemed to not want to leave. She raised her head and looked at Cen Xue, who was standing opposite her, as if asking for her help.

Cen Xue understood her meaning but they seemed to have been out for a long time. If she didn't go back now, Shi Jun might send someone to look for her.

Ignoring Chunyu's sharp eyes, he lightly said, "Indeed, we have been out for a long time. I also have to return to the main hall."

"Ah …" In that case, let's go back together. " Listening to the Queen's words, Zhugong could only agree.

The few of them slowly walked back where they had come from. The Imperial Gardens was no longer filled with their cheers and laughter, and it immediately became peaceful once more …

From winter to spring, Cen Xue was five months pregnant. Her normally flat lower abdomen was now bulging.

Cen Xue was five months pregnant and her stomach was bigger than a normal pregnant woman of five months. Everyone guessed that she was definitely pregnant with twins, and Keser also felt that there were two of them making a strange movement which caused Helian Shan to protect her more carefully, fearing that there would be some mishap between the two of them.

It wasn't easy for Cen Xue to stay in the house when the flowers were blooming in the spring. Even if she had a big stomach, she had to go out and take a walk to take a breath of the scent of nature.

"Mistress, walk slowly." Lan Qi'er stood by her side, worried that she would make the slightest mistake.

When Elder Mu Yue and the Third Marquis left, they were especially careful to instruct her to serve her master wholeheartedly. The King was also very nervous towards his master, so she naturally didn't dare to slight him.

"Don't worry, this road is so flat. Nothing will happen." Cen Xue caressed her big belly. Thinking of the child in her belly, a smile blossomed on her face.

"Mistress, can I help you to sit in the pavilion for a while?" Lan Qi'er saw that the Clear Wind Pavilion was right in front of them. With master's big belly, it would be better to sit there and scatter the flowers.

Cen Xue knew that she was worried about her and didn't want to make things difficult for her. She allowed her to help him walk over.

She carefully sat down. Now that she had a large stomach, it wouldn't be convenient for her to do anything. Lan Qi had to wait on her.

"Mistress, is it comfortable here?" Lan Qi'er walked behind her. The Pure Wind Pavilion was the center of the imperial garden. As they sat there, their vision was very good, and they could see quite a few scenery areas within the imperial garden.

"Mm, it's good." Cen Xue looked at her surroundings. Right now, it was spring and everything seemed to be coming back to life. This imperial garden also seemed to be particularly lively.

He took a deep breath, as if he could feel the fresh air of the earth. It would be good for the fetus if he could take a walk around this time of year.

After sitting for a while, Lan Qier saw Little An'er run over in a hurry. Did something big happen?

Cen Xue also saw Little An running over. The moment he stepped foot in, she impatiently asked, "Little An, what happened? Why are you running so fast?"

"Mistress, it's not that something happened in the palace, it's that something big happened in several towns at the foot of the Everlasting Mountain outside the palace. According to the reports, more than a hundred people died due to the plague, and now, the disease is still worsening. The most worrisome thing is that this plague is contagious. If the disease continues, the king will very likely order the punishment of the heavenly fire to destroy those towns! " Little An told his master the information he had just heard.

"What?" The Punishment of Heaven Fire? To burn down the village? "This is equivalent to burning those who are not dead to death and letting the Heaven's Flame burn the whole town to ashes. How can that be possible?" When Cen Xue heard Little An's words, she became extremely anxious. How could the exalted ruler of a country burn his own people to death?

She shot to her feet. She couldn't sit there and enjoy life. There must be a way to control the disaster.

"Mistress, Dr. Keser's medical skills are incredible. Perhaps Dr. Keser will be able to help?" Lan Qi'er agreed on one side.

"Yes, Dr. Keser will definitely have a way. Qi'er, you're right, we should go look for Dr. Keser now." Cen Xue wouldn't just watch as those villagers died in vain. As long as there was a sliver of hope, she was willing to give it a try.

The master and his servants headed towards the palace, and before they had gone far, they saw Keeper rushing towards the imperial study. Cen Xue stopped him to inquire further; it was the king and a few of the court officials waiting for him in the imperial study, probably to discuss about the plague.

I heard that Elder Mu Yue and the four great protector's master, 'Ghost Valley', went down the mountain to help. It seemed that the plague this time around was very fierce, and it also spread to a very large area. Currently, the three surrounding towns all suffered from serious illness.

Cen Xue knew that if she were to continue stirring things up, it would definitely leave her in a difficult position. Looking at the back view of Doctor Kessler hurrying away, the only thing she could do was wait for him to return to the palace.

"Qi'er, let's head back to the palace." He turned and walked away, hoping the heavens would open their eyes to the pitiful townspeople.

Imperial study

Helian Shan was currently troubled over the plague. The number of people reported was said to be one hundred and six. In fact, he knew very well that the officials all reported their worries to him. The number of people who died must have been reduced.

"My lord, the only way to control the spread of the plague is to have Dr. Keser investigate the illness and prescribe the correct medicine." The old prime minister said solemnly.

Helian Shan's brows were tightly knitted. He looked at Hei Se, who had not said a word since they had entered the room. If Elder Mu Yue and Ghost vale did not have a plan, then it would probably be a challenge to Doctor Hei Se.

"Dr. Kerser, we all recommend that you investigate the plague. What do you think?" Helian Shan asked her tentatively.

Heather looked at the few people in the royal study, then looked at the king before nodding and replying, "Since everyone thinks so highly of me, Heather will naturally not delay either. Today, I will return to pack some things, and we can set off tomorrow."

"Alright …" Helian Shan breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that Dr. Kessler had agreed so readily.

He had always respected the old man, and if he insisted on going, he had no choice, but this difficult problem was usually a challenge to him, and if nothing went wrong, Helian Shan was sure he would take over.

"Yuwen Tuo will lead the three thousand soldiers to the Everlasting Mountain tomorrow, and Doctor Kessler will go with Yuwen Tuo's team. The other four guards are very familiar with the region around the Everlasting Mountain, and will have the help of the green dragon and white tiger. Everyone, do you have any objections?" After careful deliberation, Helian Shan made some arrangements.

"The king has made proper arrangements. This subject has no objections!" The elder prime minister stood up first, and the others followed him as well, echoing the elder prime minister's words.

"Alright, in that case, Dr. Kessler should go back early and prepare everything that you need. The palace will prepare everything for you." Helian Shan added.

Heather first left the imperial study. After a while, everyone dispersed. Helian Lie sighed. It was only the beginning of spring, yet such a thing had happened. It truly annoyed him.

"My lord, are you worrying about the plague?" Not long after Helian Lie walked out of the imperial study, a female voice sounded beside him. However, this voice was a little hoarse; it definitely wasn't Cen Xue's.

Helian Lie turned around and saw that it was her. He remembered that ever since he had appointed her as High Priest, he had rarely seen her other than in certain necessary situations. It was no wonder that she was of no use to the peaceful people of Lou Lan Country.

"Since you know about Gu Shou's trouble, why ask again!" Helian Lie stopped in his tracks and watched her walk towards him, step by step.

It wasn't that he hadn't been on guard against this woman before, but it was because he was on guard that he didn't let her interfere with many matters in the country. Even the grand marriage between him and Cen Xue was arranged by Elder Mu Yue.

Zana was still dressed in black. She had maintained her style, but after meeting this man, her originally cold heart had changed.

"Your Majesty need not worry too much. Zha Na has already been involved in this matter. At most, a month and at least half a month later, this matter will be resolved. Your illness will be under control, and Your Majesty will not have to worry about it anymore." Zana said this confidently, her eyes full of confidence.

Helian Lie knew that she had the ability to make things convenient for herself. Since she had already said so, this matter shouldn't have any problems.

"If what you say is true, I will definitely reward you heavily." Helian Lie's mouth had a trace of certainty, as if he was making a bet with her, but also seemed to be anticipating the results in a month.
