"Go back. The fog in the mountain is thick. Be careful of your body." Tengger looked at her with reluctance. How could he bear to part from her?

He had followed her with his heart from the moment she had left Tewa. He remembered watching her in the crowd on the day of her wedding, watching her smile as she snuggled up against the man she loved.

The first thing he knew was that she had fallen into a trap. He had rushed to the capital to rescue her in the middle of the night in order to protect her from danger!

Cen Xue saw everything he had done for her. Brother Tengg was a good person and she knew that he had her in his heart, so she came to Lou Lan to save him. Unfortunately, her heart had already been given to a man named Helian Li long ago.

Taking the initiative to embrace him, this was Cen Xue's first intimate contact with him. Although this was a very ordinary hug, in Tengger's heart, this was sufficient …

"Brother Tengger, thank you for everything you've done for me. Cen Xue will remember this for the rest of her life!" Cen Xue buried her face in his embrace, inhaling the scent of his body. She would definitely remember this scent.

"I don't need your return. If you really want to repay me, then remember, safely giving birth to a child. This is the best reward for me. Can you do it?" Tung gently embraced her, stroking her smooth long hair.

"Yes, I can do it! "For you, for Lan Qi'er, for those who have helped me before, I can do it. When the child is born, I will make you the foster father of the child. I hope you will not decline!" Cen Xue raised her head and looked at him. Without him, she would not be standing here safe and sound, nor would she be able to feel the connection between her and her child's heart.

"Good, this is our agreement. After the child is born, I will come again to visit you all. It's getting late, I really have to go." By making this agreement with Cen Xue, it meant that he would be able to see Cen Xue again in a few months' time.

Cen Xue nodded her head and looked at the sky. The sunset had already appeared in the horizon. If he didn't go down the mountain now, he would really be rushing through the night. Lying out in the wilderness was not something he could tolerate.

Releasing his embrace, she smiled sweetly at him, "You must be careful on the way. Remember our agreement!"

"Mm, you too …" Glancing at her one last time, Tengger clenched his teeth and turned around before striding away, not allowing himself to have the slightest bit of hesitation.

Cen Xue watched him leave in a hurry, the familiar back gradually distancing away from her, her heart filled with reluctance.

Mu Ru Yue and Ghost Valley were watching them from inside the door until Tengger left. Mu Yue then walked out and said, "You've already walked far away. Go back to the room; there's a lot of fog outside; you need to take care of yourself. With an old ghost here to take care of you, I also need to go back to the main altar. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Gui Gu Zi kindly looked at her as she returned, leading her to the bedroom, "Empress, from now on, this will be your room. Bai Lu will be living in front of you, if there's anything you need, just call her."

"There's no need to be so polite, you're Cen Xue's elder, you're just like Cen Xue's grandfather. From now on, you can just call me Cen Xue or the little girl!" Cen Xue didn't have that kind of class concept in her body and was very friendly to everyone.

"Okay, okay. You can rest for now. When the meal starts, Bailu will come and call for you." This was the first time they had met, and Gui Gu Zi was still not very familiar with her.

"Mm, sorry for disturbing …"

In the next moment, she was the only one left in the room. Cen Xue carefully sized up the room that originally belonged to the Vermillion Bird. Perhaps her personality was a little more outgoing, stronger, and more manly, so she couldn't tell that this was a woman's room.

However, with her current situation, it was already a blessing that she had a place to shield her from the wind and rain.

She sat on the edge of the bed and gently caressed her lower abdomen. The quietness reminded her of Lan Qi'er. Poor Lan Qi'er …

In the royal study of Lou Lan's palace.

"Your subordinate pays his respects to the king!" The Black Turtle had finally returned to the capital after a long journey, day and night.

"You've been gone for a period of time. Have you received any goods?" When the Black Turtle finally returned, even though Cen Xue was no longer around, Helian Lie still wanted to know the result.

According to Father Wu's adopted son, Tanar, Tengger personally led the Queen into the mountains to beg his father to treat the wounds on his face. At that time, the ingredients for the medicine weren't complete, and Tengger personally brought the guards to the top of Lang Xie Mountain to retrieve them, but during this period of time, we were all eating and living together. The Empress was under the care of Tanner's fiancée, and Tengg did not have any physical relations with her. The Black Turtle was just an outsider, there wasn't much that it could scout out.

He believed that Cen Xue did not betray him, and he believed even more that Cen Xue would not use any sort of magic medicine to deceive him. All of this was caused by Black Wood Zana, he should not have let her enter the door to check Cen Xue's pulse back then.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate also asked a woman named Eva about some important matters regarding the Empress's life at Tung's side. Tung has not been married until now and only had one concubine for the past two years, but Tung had stayed in her room every night during the time that the Empress was in Tewa. Tung had never crossed the line with the Empress, but not long after the Empress left, the concubine was actually charged with poisoning Big Khan and was sentenced to death on the spot!" This was all Black Tortoise knew.

Helian Lie silently listened to what Li Yao had to say. He waved his hand to signal Li Yao to step back. He needed to calm down a little by himself.

From Xuanwu's words just now, Cen Xue had never had any intimate contact with Tengger. Since she hadn't, who was the child in her womb? Without a doubt, this child was definitely his own flesh and blood!

"Xue'er …" Helian Shan stood alone in the empty imperial study, shouting from the bottom of his heart.

His mistake was too outrageous, his mistake unforgivable. The consequences of his mistake today were all the punishment of the heavens!

"Xue'er, what should I do so that you can return to me?" Helian Shan's sad eyes were filled with Cen Xue's smile. He really hoped that this beautiful face could once again appear in front of him.

However, all of this was in vain. Even if Cen Xue stood in front of him now, she might not even forgive herself. This was because his actions had made it impossible for him to forgive himself.

"Your Majesty, the High Priest said she has an important matter to meet with you!" As for this woman, he still wasn't sure how the king would treat her right now.

Helian Shan suddenly opened his eyes. She had come at the right time, and it just so happened that he also wanted to meet this woman!

"Pass …"

Heimu Zana had changed into a lake-green outfit and walked in leisurely. She was different from her usual self. She had to put on a lot of makeup in order to appear in front of others.

"Zana greets the king." Helian Li, who had just lost his beloved, was greatly displeased by Blackwood's gorgeous clothes, but he still remembered what Dr. Kesser had said about having to wait for her to make a move.

If not for wanting to find evidence of her viciousness, Helian Shan would have ordered her to die. How could she have survived until today?

"Speak, what is it?" He tried his best to restrain his anger towards her and forcefully suppressed the impulse of wanting to tear her into a thousand pieces. Helian Shan faced her and wished that he could immediately execute her right away.

Zana amorously raised her head and looked at the king with her beautiful eyes. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and even though there was a tinge of weariness on his face, it did not affect his domineering aura in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, Zha Na knows that the king has never been able to give up on the queen, so for the past few days, she has remained in seclusion. She has thought of a way to reunite the king and the queen!" Zana's schemes were many. Afraid that the incense would not work, she continued to come up with new ideas.

Helian Shan looked coldly at her ugly face. He had thought that dressing up would make her drool. She had been too naive!

"What method is it? Tell me?" But Helian Shan was happy to hear what tricks she had up her sleeve.

"Summoning the Soul …" As long as the soul of the Empress is brought back, even if the appearance is no longer that of the Empress, the soul in the body cannot change! " This time, Zana's wishful thinking was a little off. She had actually thought of such a risky plan.

Summon Souls... This was not something an ordinary person could do. Firstly, it was because people and ghosts were not the same space. If a person wanted to summon their soul, then they had to have a certain level of cultivation to do so! Secondly, once they opened that door, they would have to control the other ghosts inside. Otherwise, there would be more than one ghost and no one would dare to take responsibility for the consequences!

This was the first time this word had appeared in Helian Shan's mind. He had never heard of such a thing like summoning a soul in this world. Although it sounded somewhat absurd, since this woman dared to suggest it to him, she must be telling the truth.

"I've never heard of this method before. May I ask if the High Priest has succeeded before?" Helian Shan asked probingly.

"No, but there's always a first time. Does the king not want to be reunited with the Queen's family?" Currently, the king was not controlled by her, so Zana was able to see through his thoughts.

"Since the High Priest is so confident, I shall leave this matter to him!" Dr. Keser had said that when facing this woman, he should do as he pleased.

Helian Lie naturally understood her abilities. Since she was able to come up with a way to attract souls, if the heavens truly pitied him, he would be satisfied just once, and would be satisfied just once if Cen Xue's soul came back to visit him.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Zha Na will go down and prepare for it today. When tomorrow night comes, we can open the altar and practice recruiting souls!" When tomorrow night came and she put on a good show and said that the queen's soul was in her body, wouldn't she be able to openly enjoy the Spring Festival Gala with the king?
