"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has returned. He's asking for an audience outside the icehouse!" Zhao Chengde's voice came from outside.

Helian Qi. Good, I just came back at the right time. I was just about to settle the score with him!

"Pass …"

After a while, Helian Qi appeared behind Helian Lie in a simple white robe. Seeing the corpse in the crystal coffin, he knelt down and said, "I, Helian Qi, pay my respects to the King. I hope Brother Wang can grieve."

"Qi, I'm asking you, how does Gu Shou treat you?" Helian Lie did not let him get up and instead made him kneel in front of the coffin.

"Brother Wang treats brother Chen very well. If it weren't for brother Wang's promise of brother Wang's existence, I'm afraid brother Wang would only be a nobody in the city right now!" Helian Qi had already prepared himself for Helian Qi's scolding. With such a thing happening, the first person to be suspected would definitely be that slut. And since he was the one who recommended her that day, it naturally wouldn't affect him.

"Since you know that Brother Wang is treating you well, then tell me honestly, was the fire in Leng Gong made by Black Wood Zana?" Was it also her that ordered the Queen's death, the mind that was controlled yesterday? " Helian Lie had his back facing him as he asked in a cold voice.

"Brother Wang, your brother has been out for the past few days. I don't know what she has done, and what she has done has nothing to do with you. Your brother only returned to the capital a while ago and found out that something big has happened. Please enlighten me, Brother Wang!" This time, Helian Qi said with a flat-chested voice, he just wanted Zha Na to control the king's mind and let the king suffer a serious illness. He also wanted the king to pass on the throne to him in front of all the ministers.

"Get up and tell me again in front of the queen's corpse whether this has anything to do with you or not!" Helian Shan no longer trusted him. He had misjudged this little brother of his. He blamed himself for being blind and luring a wolf into his house.

Helian Qi stood up and walked to the front of the crystal coffin. Looking at the few remains inside, he saw that there was no longer any form of a human. That empty hole in his eye, that deathly still staring at him, made his heart inexplicably tremble.

"I, Helian Qi, swear to the heavens that Helian Qi absolutely does not know and will absolutely not participate in the Queen's fall into the sea of fire. If there is a violation of these words, Helian Qi would rather be struck by lightning and die a violent death!" Helian Qi swore to the sky and spoke word by word to the corpse.

"Alright, in that case, Gu You wants you to collect the evidence from the Black Wood Zana. If you are innocent, then prove it to me!" Helian Lie turned around and looked at him. Now was not the time for him to be sad in front of Cen Xue. His top priority was to find the culprit who set the fire and avenge Cen Xue.

"I will do my best to capture the murderer!" Helian Qi lowered his head, speaking in a very sincere tone.

Inside the Immortal Mansion's main hall, after Yiyu Wu left the ice room, she ran towards the main hall with a face full of hatred. The moment she entered the door, she saw Black Wood Zana leisurely drinking tea, angrily rushing forward and knocking the tea in her hand onto the ground, "Black Wood Zana, you are so vicious! You caused the death of the queen, you actually still have the mood to drink tea here?"

"Young lady Yuwen, what are you saying? What do you mean, 'I killed the queen'? Don't speak nonsense. When did the queen die? When did the fire in the Cold Palace start? When did the queen die in the fire? Don't slander me!" Zana stood up. Her face was no longer covered by a black scarf. A beautiful face with no expression appeared in front of Dan Yu Wu, but her expressive eyes had long revealed a stern look.

"Pah …" "You evil woman, stop pretending. Just you wait, I will definitely find evidence. Your words are all lies!" Dan Yu Wu was not someone to be trifled with. She had promised Cen Xue that she would save Lan Qi'er, but she was still a step too late. However, she would definitely make this witch pay for Lan Qi's death.

Heimu Zana was the one who was most embarrassed by her impudence. The other palace maids in the room, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, all left the two of them in the hall. Since no one else was around, she would not be polite with her.

"Young Madam, I advise you to not meddle in other people's business and return to your house to rest, lest something happens to the child in your womb. You can't blame it on me again!" Zana changed her polite tone as she whispered in her ear.

Yiyu Wu was calm and composed as she stood on the spot. What did she mean by this?

Suddenly, his pupils dilated as he looked at her in disbelief, "Are you saying that Cen Xue's child in her womb was a mobile phone that you used behind her back?"

Pointing at this sinister woman, Yu Wu wished she could die without a burial ground.

"Oh, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want. The queen is pregnant for six months, that is a matter of fact, what does it have to do with me? Six months ago, I was still in the Frigid Fragrance Forest, I can't wrongly accuse a good person!" A hint of disdain appeared at the corner of Zana's eyes. She was still too tender to fight with her.

"You, just you wait. My One-Feather Dance won't let you off. The king won't let you off either!" With that, Dan Yu Wu gazed at her with hatred, turned around, and left in a rage.

Zana looked at her back as she left and couldn't help but smile. She wasn't going to let her go. Just the few of them, hmph …

If he wanted to grab onto her painful feet, they were still too young. Even if Keser came back, he might not be able to do anything to her!

In Lou Lan's imperial harem, Helian Shan was trying to seal the news and prevent Cen Xue's grievous news from leaking out of the palace.

Helian Lie did not plan to bury the corpse in the crystal coffin immediately. He only wanted the Ministry of Rites and Rites to secretly arrange for the queen to die. He must find the murderer and use his blood to pay tribute to his most beloved woman and child.

After coming back from the palace, Helian Qi's face was extremely pale. Black Wood Zana … Black Wood Zana …

It would not be difficult to kill her, but if she died, there would be action on Pacia's side. She was not the only woman from the Black Wood Family, as long as she died, the Black Wood Family would definitely vent their anger on him, and the king would also send him to find evidence, which would simply push him into a pit of fire.

No matter which side he helped, Helian Qi would end up as a 'dead'.

No matter how powerful the Black Wood Family was, they were just a bunch of witchcraft women after all. If he could find someone stronger than them to protect him, he wouldn't have to worry about the Black Wood Family coming after him to settle the score.

However, where could he go to find such an expert?

The next day, Helian Qi sent out his trusted aides to search for people who could use witchcraft in the various barbarian tribes. The world was big, and Helian Qi didn't believe that he couldn't find such people.

During these three days, Helian Shan's temperament had greatly changed, and he had become abnormally furious. In these three days, Helian Shan's temperament had greatly changed, and he had become abnormally furious.

Every night, Helian Shan would appear in the ice warehouse, accompanying Cen Xue in the crystal coffin until the sun rose, watching her quietly lying there. Every time, his heart would be burned again and again, leaving behind countless men's tears in the dark night.

"Dr. Kerser, we're finally back!" After five days of travel, Yuwen Tuo finally stepped into the capital's territory. However, the current them did not know what was happening in the palace.

"Hurry back to the manor, this old man will also go back to the palace to see what's going on." He was also curious about the contents of the letter. It was impossible for him to make such a rudimentary mistake. Even a few months of gestation would be a mistake, so he had to investigate thoroughly.

"Alright, I'll send two guards to escort you back to the palace." Yuwen Tuo couldn't wait to see Yu Wu. When he received her letter half a month ago, he already wanted to rush back immediately.

After the two entered the capital, they split up and left. Yuwen Tuo rushed back to the general's manor without stopping. However, when he returned to his residence, he did not see any guards outside. What was going on?

Yuwen Tuo dismounted and walked over to knock on the door. After waiting for a long time, he saw a servant open the door: "Young Master, you have finally returned."

"Did something happen at home? "Why don't you even have a guard?" Yuwen Tuo didn't know why, but when he saw the serious expression on the servant's face, he knew instinctively that something must have happened.

"I really don't know what happened. However, Young Madam has set up a mourning hall in the side chamber. Please go and take a look." The servant did not know who had passed away, but seeing that the general and the young madame were both sad over his death, something big must have happened.

Yuwen Tuo's eyebrows tightened. He had set up a mourning hall in the side chamber? What did that mean?

He hurriedly ran towards the side room, and just as he stepped into the side room, he saw Yu Wu kneeling on the floor, silently burning the paper money. His father was standing behind her, silently looking at the unsigned spirit tablet.

"Father, Yu Wu, what's the meaning of this?" Yuwen Tuo's voice came from behind them.

Yuwen Tai turned around and looked at his son, who came back exhausted. He helplessly shook his head, walked up and said, "You're finally back. It's all because father is useless. Let Yu Wu tell you."

The solemn expression on Yuwen Tai's face made Yuwen Tuo panic. Could it be? Impossible? How could Li Shan hurt Cen Xue?

"Yu Wu, I'm back. Tell me, what happened?" Dan Yu Wu did not stand up and continued repeating the movements in her hand.

"Yu Wu …"

Yuwen Tuo saw that she didn't react at all as if she hadn't heard him. He snatched the paper money from her hands and turned her body to look at him. Only then did she come back to his senses.

The exhaustion in her eyes rolled down as she buried it in his embrace, crying sorrowfully, "Cen Xue died, she died a miserable death. The fire in the cold palace burned her mother and son to death, their corpses were incomplete, and Cen Xue died with grievance!"

"Wuwuwu …"

In that instant, Yuwen Tuo couldn't believe what he had heard. What was going on? How could he possibly let Cen Xue receive such an injury?

"Don't cry yet. Tell me the whole story in detail." Like her, Yuwen Tuo couldn't accept this fact.

Although Cen Xue wasn't his relative or his lover, she was a modest and amiable person, his most beloved woman, and was Yu Wu's best friend. If it weren't for her help, he and Yu Wu wouldn't have been able to be together, and he wasn't willing to see her die.

"The day I entered the palace, I wanted to tell Cen Xue that I was pregnant as well. The moment I stepped foot into Xing Qing Palace, Lan Qi'er knelt in front of me and begged me to quickly enter, begging me to save Cen Xue. I persuaded the Vermillion Bird not to stop me, and as I pushed open the door, I saw a bowl of medicine in her hands. Dan Yu Wu described in detail what happened during his absence to Yuwen Tuo. Of course, she made some changes to the events of that night.
