"Your Majesty, something big happened. The cold palace caught fire. The Empress is trapped inside and can't come out." Zhao Changde's familiar voice sounded by his ear, sounding anxious and panicked.

"Fire in the cold palace, tell Gu, what's going on?" Helian Lie grabbed his clothes with one hand and asked angrily.

"This... This old servant can't explain it clearly either. All I know is that the Queen is trapped in the Cold Palace right now. Zhao Changde stuttered.

"Damnit …" Helian Lie threw Zhao Changde to the side. When Zhao Changde stood up once again, the King was already nowhere to be seen.

The arena rapidly changed, and in the next moment, Helian Shan was standing in the midst of a fiery light. A few steps away, stood a white-clothed woman. Looking at that familiar back, Helian Shan immediately recognized that it was Cen Xue.

"Xue-Er, thank the heavens, you're fine!" Although it was hard to understand the sudden change in events, it was good to see that she was fine. Helian Lie wanted to go over and pull her, but he found that no matter how he tried, he couldn't get close. Burning pillars kept falling down, and she just stood there with her back facing him as if she was in a dream. "Come, Xue'er, come quickly towards me." She anxiously called out, and a fire was ignited at her feet. She wanted to swallow her up, but she just stood there, unmoving. Was this a dream? He would rather be in a dream, or else how could he face the moment when the fire swallowed her up. " "It's too late, it's already too late. Let this fire take us away …" She did not turn around, but blew her voice into his ear. Her voice carried an incomparable indifference, without a single trace of hidden bitterness. It caused him to feel extremely flustered. "No, that's not it. Everything is too late. Gu has already rushed over. Come over quickly. Didn't we agree to wait for the child to be born and have his or her blood tested before we speak again?" "He stretched out his hand once more to pull her away, but he failed again. The distance between them was not a few steps, but two worlds." "There's no need to test. The child is not you, and I am not yours. You are not my first man, nor am you the last." Closing her eyes, what she just said wasn't only hurting him, it was also hurting herself. But what could she do?

"What the hell are you talking about? "Come here!" He angrily took another step forward, but he was still unable to approach her.

"Helian Zhang, remember my words. I said that you would regret it. You will regret it. My time is up and I can no longer hold on. I'm leaving. Take my child away and leave this place forever …" "Her voice became weaker and weaker, as if she had lost her barrier. The fire no longer only jumped around her feet, but began to climb up her skirt." No... "I was wrong, I'm sorry, don't be willful, come over here, come over here …" Helian Shan shouted anxiously and rushed forward recklessly. Regardless of whether he would be hit by the pillar or burned by the flames, he only knew that he had to grab onto her. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life. " "It's too late. Are you in a hurry?"

"I pray that in the next life, we won't meet again." She finally turned around, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. The rising flames instantly engulfed her within the sea of fire.

"No …" Helian Shan's despairing cry shook the entire palace. He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

Sweating profusely, he looked around in panic. So it was just a dream, just a dream …

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!" Just as Helian Haohan's heart had calmed down, Zhao Changde rushed in anxiously.

Helian Zhang impatiently wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked in a bad mood, "What happened that caused you to be in such a hurry?"

"Your Majesty, the cold palace, the fire at the cold palace is very strong. There is a sea of fire everywhere, I wonder if the Empress is alive or dead?" Zhao Chang De looked at him anxiously, hoping that his majesty would no longer be bewitched by that demoness.

Helian Zhang suddenly froze. Why was this scene so familiar?

At this moment, the scene from his nightmare appeared in his mind. Could it be that this was real? That dream was telling him what was about to happen?

"Change clothes …" Helian Shan's mind instantly cleared up. All he could see was the scene of Cen Xue being buried in the sea of fire. He could not, could not do this to him.

'Xue Er, wait for me to come save you … '

The Cold Palace was located in a relatively remote area, and there was still a large distance between them and the Imperial Study. Helian Shan madly ran forward, and before he even arrived at his destination, he could already smell a burnt smell.

The flames were soaring, and the broken cold palace was now a sea of fire. The two guards did not know why they fell asleep outside the door, until the thick smoke came out and woke them up. They knew that there was a fire inside, but by then, the fire would be very big, and they would not be able to enter the house.

Zana was hiding in a dark corner, coldly watching everything that was happening in front of her. All of this had been meticulously planned out by her. As long as that bitch died, all of her fame and wealth would belong to her.

Helian Lie had finally rushed over, but facing this scene before him, his heart felt cold … The scenes from his dream once again flashed before his eyes. At this moment, he regretted it. He truly regretted it …

"Your Majesty, the fire is too big. It is safer for Your Majesty to leave this place." The Vermillion Bird went up and knelt down on one knee. She never thought that something like this would happen.

"Cut the crap, where is the queen? Where is the queen?" Helian Shan was now more clear-headed than anyone else. Just thinking of the scene in the dream, he was so frightened that it seemed as if his heart was about to pop out.

The Vermillion Bird looked to be in a difficult position, not sure if it should tell them the truth.

"Speak …" Helian Shan looked at her stuttering appearance and knew that the situation was not good.

The Vermillion Bird never dared to disobey the king. With a roar like this, the Vermillion Bird could only call out, "The fire has already spread throughout the entire Cold Palace. Just now, your subordinate went in to look around, but there was smoke coming from the inside.

"Bastard, useless trash …" "Scram!" Helian Lie roared in anger.

Helian Shan could not stand by and watch Cen Xue leave him like this. He wanted to personally go and find her. If he was dead, he wanted to see her, he wanted to see her corpse!

The palace that was already overwhelmed by the great fire had a large area crumbled under Helian Lie's angry hissing. Stone after stone fell, but Helian Shan couldn't care less and insisted on going in to look for someone.

Zhao Changde ran over from behind him, and the two eunuchs behind him even carried a wooden box. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old servant has brought your golden armor."

Just now when the king was so anxious, he must have known that the king was clear-headed at the moment. In this way, the king would personally go in to find someone, and if he wore this set of golden armor, he would at least be able to protect the king's flesh and blood.

"You've come at the right time. Quickly put it on, Gu Ruoyun will personally go in to look for the queen!" The determination in Helian Shan's eyes was clearly seen by Zana, who had been hiding in the dark.

She did not understand why the king would be here. The king had clearly already been controlled by her, so how could he still miss that slut, much less risk his life to find her?

When everything was ready, Helian Shan almost jumped into the fire. Even though he wore armor to protect his body, he could still feel the hot air.

"Xue'er, where are you? Where are you? Coming here alone …" "Helian Lie rushed into the collapsed palace, holding on to his last glimmer of hope as he searched for her." Your Majesty, this house is about to collapse. Zhao Chang De was waiting outside, seeing that many of the kings had yet to come out, he couldn't help but shout anxiously. With such a fire, it was likely that the Queen wouldn't have much luck.

Sigh … He didn't expect that the witch's movements would be so quick. He hoped that the Queen had already been rescued by Miss Yu Wu. If she stayed, then there would be no hope.

He saw that Cen Xue was not dead and was still waiting for him in his dreams. As long as he could apologize to her, she would definitely forgive him, she would definitely do so.

"Xue'er, where are you …" As he kept calling out to her, he refused to leave and wanted to find Cen Xue.

Suddenly, his line of sight saw a black mass in the distance. He carefully avoided the falling stones and flame pillars and came to the pile of black mass. His anxious expression changed to a dull one as he stood on the spot, foolishly looking at the pile of charred corpses under his feet!

"Xue'er …" It was unknown how many centuries had passed before Helian Lie slowly spat out two words.

Vermillion Bird and the others heard the king's shout from outside. Perhaps the king had found the queen, so the Vermillion Bird gathered everyone together and used all its strength to save the king.

Helian Lie crouched down and extended his hand forward. He tightly held onto the charred corpse. The clothes and skin of the corpse had been completely burnt, leaving only a charred skeleton. Instantly, it was terrifying!

What was that? Suddenly, a liquid flowed from the corner of his eye. Was it tears? "Perhaps, he felt that his heart was completely empty. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to die together with Cen Xue in this sea of fire …" "Xue'er, why, why, why didn't you wait for Gu, why?" The heat from the corpse had burned his palm. Luckily, he was wearing golden armor, but his palms were still burning from the heat.

His heart was in so much pain that he couldn't take it anymore. His palm was scalded until it split open, and blood flowed out from it as it slowly slid down along the bones …

In his arms, he seemed to have smelled the familiar scent of flowers coming from Cen Xue's body. Lowering his head, she continued to smile at him as per usual. Her smile was very beautiful, very beautiful …

"Xue'er …" With a low exclamation, Helian Shan's vision went black and he fell to the ground right after.

"Your Majesty …" The Vermillion Bird rushed in with its guards. Upon seeing the King lying on the ground, it hurriedly rushed forward.

In front of Helian Shan was a pile of charred bones. His skin and flesh had already been completely burnt, leaving behind only some bones and skulls …

"Empress …" The Vermillion Bird helped the unconscious king up. The king must have fainted from grief. This was not a place to stay for long, so they had to leave this place as soon as possible.

At the same time, the fire in the surroundings was barely controlled. The imperial bodyguard lifted the king out and the Vermillion Bird carefully gathered the human bones one by one.
