"Cen Xue, you're leaving just like that. From now on, who else can I speak to? "How can you bear it, Cen Xue …" Yiyu Wu looked at Lan Qi'er, who was in the crystal coffin. Why was the heavens so unfair, why …

If Lan Qi'er hadn't come out to find her yesterday, perhaps the person lying in the coffin today really would have been Cen Xue. However, even though Cen Xue had been saved, Lan Qi'er still wouldn't have been able to escape!

She swore in her heart that Lan Qi'er's death wouldn't be in vain. She had to endure it, she had to wait until they returned, she had to avenge Lan Qi, and she had to tear that witch into ten thousand pieces!

"Young madam, my condolences …" The Vermillion Bird held her and looked at her tears. It seemed that this really was the queen.

Every single move of Dan Yu Wu was reflected in Helian Lie's eyes. At first, he had held onto a sliver of hope that the Feather Ball would save Cen Xue, but from the looks of it, that sliver of hope had been completely destroyed …

One-Pun's eyes were red from crying, but there wasn't a single tear on his face. This bastard, because of his distrust, had lost a person's life in vain.

"Helian Zhang, from today onwards, you and I will no longer be playmates from childhood. You will be that aloof and lofty king, that blind monarch who thinks nothing of human life, that you won't even let his wife and son go. Cen Xue will never be at ease as a ghost, and she will never let you go!" One-Pun Wu was in so much pain that her tears were as big as beans as she continued to accuse him one after another.

"Young madam, how can you blame the king like this?" The Vermillion Bird stopped her, not allowing her to continue speaking.

Even in the face of Yu Wu's accusation, Helian Lie remained silent. What she said was not wrong. Even though he didn't set the fire, he still had to take responsibility for the deaths of Cen Xue and his child.

But in this sort of outcome, he was more hurt than anyone else, so sad that he could not shed tears because his heart ached to the extreme.

"Both of you, go out. You must speak to Lady Yuwen alone." Helian Shan didn't blame Yu Wu for her accusation, because what she said was very true.

"Yes." The Vermillion Bird and Zhao Changde obeyed and left.

At this moment, there was only Helian Shan and the Single Feather Dance in the cold and overbearing icehouse. Helian Lie turned around and looked at her. His eyes were filled with sadness and regret.

"Tell Gu, who is the person in this coffin?" Helian Shan held onto the last sliver of hope and stared at her without blinking.

Dan Yu Wu thought about Cen Xue's current situation. Perhaps this result could delay time and allow her to safely give birth to a child. At this critical juncture, everyone mistakenly thought that her death could also avoid many troubles.

"Who is she, the King asked me? Then, Your Majesty, may I ask who the person residing in the Cold Palace is? " After careful deliberation, Dan Yu Wu decided to keep this secret a secret for the time being and not reveal a single word of it.

Helian Lie stared into her eyes, trying to find some clues on her body. He would rather believe that Cen Xue had been saved by Yu Wu and co. than accept that the corpse in the crystal coffin was Cen Xue.

"Yu Wu, I know that anything I say now is of no use. However, I just want to ask you this. Last night, did you enter the palace to bring Cen Xue away?" He had already ordered some people to investigate. She had indeed entered the palace last night, and Lan Qi'er had followed her back. He didn't believe that things would be so simple.

Dan Yu Wu knew what he meant, but unfortunately, she wouldn't let him find out where Cen Xue was.

"No, I didn't bring Cen Xue out of the palace. Although I really want to do this, I can't do it by myself. Do you know why?" Dan Yu Wu looked at him coldly. Now that Cen Xue had left, he finally knew how precious she was. He didn't even think about who had forced Cen Xue to drink the foetal medicine and who had sent her into the cold palace.

"Why?" Helian Shan could hear the meaning behind her words.

"Why? Not only that, you even placed a curse around the cold palace, not allowing Cen Xue to take a single step outside. Otherwise, Cen Xue would have to die, what kind of peace do you have in mind, why did you have to do this to Cen Xue? " One Feather Dance knew Helian Lie didn't know about the curse, but if he wanted to avenge Lan Qi'er, he had to do so.

Helian Shan looked at her doubtfully. What did she mean by this? What kind of curse, he didn't even know?

"Yu Wu, what do you mean by those words? It's true that you ordered people to guard the door, but you didn't do the incantation you spoke of just now. It's not that you're doing something wrong!" Helian Lie knew that life and death in the Cold Palace were absolutely not that simple. There must be something that could not be exposed.

"Yes, you are not, but that does not mean that woman is not. That woman is the one you insisted on bestowing the title of High Priest." Yes, you are not, but that does not mean that woman is not. Yiyu Wu really wanted to explain everything, but the evidence in her hands was insufficient, so she could only wait for the right moment.

Blackwood Zana? As Helian Lie thought back to every little detail of the past few days, he couldn't help but think of those beautiful scenes he had seen with Cen Xue. Even today, he could still vividly see her, but unfortunately, she had left him …

"Tell Gu, what happened yesterday?" Helian Zhang tried his best to recall what happened yesterday, but no matter how focused he was, he still couldn't remember what happened yesterday.

Dan Yu Wu hated him the most for opening his mouth at this moment. She really wanted to beat him up to vent the hatred in her heart!

"Looks like Your Majesty doesn't know anything. Then I'll have Yu Wu tell you!" "Yesterday, the king's temperament changed drastically as he flirted with that woman, Black Wood Zana, in the royal study. That woman wanted you to kill Cen Xue, and you actually agreed to it. If it weren't for Eunuch Zhao secretly informing me and telling Lan Qier to come out of the palace to ask for help, I'm afraid I still don't know what would have happened." Yiyu Wu moved closer to him and pointed at the corpse inside the crystal coffin as she spoke excitedly.

"Last night, I brought Lan Qi-er to the Cold Palace, but the guards didn't even let us in, so we could only find a ladder and jump over the wall, causing Lan Qi-er to hurt her leg, but just as we were about to leave the Cold Palace, Cen Xue suddenly felt an intense pain in her head, and she was unable to move, as though someone was trying to stop her from leaving the Cold Palace. We also tried to force Cen Xue to leave, but Cen Xue would definitely feel even more pain, and I knew that this was definitely some kind of magic spell that had been cast by High Priest Carina. I can't take this risk, Cen Xue still can't leave. After discussing it, I've decided to beg dad and grandpa to come to the palace tomorrow to plead with you. No matter what, you have to keep Cen Xue's life! "It's a pity that we were still a step too late. After all these calculations, we didn't expect that there would be someone who would set fire to the Cold Palace after we left. Cen Xue couldn't leave the Cold Palace at all, she could only be burned alive in the Cold Palace!" With hot tears in her eyes, Dan Yu excitedly told him everything that had happened last night. She was lying out of goodwill, and hoped that Lan Qier's divine soul wouldn't blame her for temporarily covering up the truth.

Previously, he could not completely believe that this was Cen Xue's corpse. However, after listening to Yu Wu's narration of what happened last night, it seemed that he could no longer breathe. His entire mind was blank, as if he could only hear Yu Wu's last sentence, "I can only be burned alive in the cold palace …"

"No …" "Cen Xue, Gu Xue'er won't die, she won't die!" Helian Lie lost control of himself for a moment and roared towards the sky.

"Enough, Cen Xue is already dead. It was you who indirectly caused Cen Xue's death. I, One-Pun, would rather not have known you to be an idiot!" Yu Wu hated his current appearance. Even though Cen Xue wasn't the one who died, Lan Qi'er was innocent. No matter who sacrificed themselves, it wouldn't be worth it.

Unable to stand being alone with him any longer, the Solitary Feather ran out of the icehouse with reddened eyes. Outside the icehouse, Yuwen Tai saw his daughter-in-law's sorrowful appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He still couldn't protect the queen and her son …

Helian Shan's gaze was fixed on the scattered bones in the coffin. Because of his distrust, because of his suspicion, he had lost Cen Xue forever …

That dream, that dream from last night, no … That was not a dream. It must have been because Cen Xue came to his side before she died and told him in that way that she hated him for his ruthlessness, hated his distrust, hated him for everything, and so she left this world with tears of grief and indignation. Her unborn child also left with her, not even leaving a single trace of him!

"Xue'er, it's your fault, it's your fault! I promise you, I will definitely follow you out in the near future. I won't let you and your child be alone and helpless! I promise you!" The corners of his eyes slowly dripped with bean-sized tears. This was the first time, the first time he had cried for a woman, and also the only time.

However, no matter what he said now, it was already too late. He had no idea what he had done yesterday, it was completely empty, if it wasn't for Yu Wu informing him, he wouldn't have believed that he had actually given Cen Xue an order to kill her, and that it was definitely not something he would have done.

Looking at Cen Xue's corpse, he suddenly thought of something. Tea? He did not know about it the first day, but after drinking it, he did not feel suspicious anymore. It seemed like there was something wrong with the tea, no wonder he had a headache that night, it must have been Zana's doing something, she must have controlled his mind, and that was why he agreed to give her the decree to kill Cen Xue!

"Black Wood Zana, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!" Helian Lie clenched his fists tightly and issued a creaking sound. If he hadn't wanted to use her, he wouldn't have allowed her to take over the position of High Priest. It seemed that his decision was wrong. Extremely wrong.

If he had flatly refused back then, he might not have caused so much trouble. Cen Xue and her child would still be in the palace waiting for him to return. Hahaha …

He, Helian Shan, started laughing foolishly with tears in his eyes. He was the most scumbag monarch in the world. Yu Wu was right. He was indistinguishable between black and white. He was just a faint monarch. He was not worthy to be the monarch of Lou Lan Country!
