Helian Qi knew that tonight, Brother Wang would take action. Together with the Nine-tailed High Lama, they entered the palace to help out and lay in ambush outside the palace with the Azure Dragon and the others.

Helian Shan's sedan chair landed outside the gate of the Immortal Mansion. Zhao Changde accompanied the king at his side. He nervously took a deep breath and lifted the curtain, allowing the king to alight from the sedan.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace."

When he heard Zhao Changde's voice, he, who had originally been closing his eyes, opened his eagle-like black eyes. He walked out of the sedan chair and stood in front of the front gate of the Immortal Mansion, coldly staring at the three words on the plaque, "Immortal Mansion Hall!"

"Greetings, High Priest. The king is already outside the door." A palace maid ran over in panic.

"Have we arrived? Hurry up and prepare some refreshments! " When Zana heard that the king had come up, she was both nervous and eager to get along with him.

"Yes." The palace maids also began to gather their resources. It was rare for the king to make a trip to the immortal palace.

Helian Lie walked in step by step with Zhao Changde following behind him. Before he even stepped into the parlour, he had already seen Zana waiting for him outside the door.

Helian Shan mocked. It seemed that she was really in a hurry to die?

"Greetings, your Majesty." Zana had a gentle and flirtatious expression on her face as she imitated Cen Xue's demeanor. She hoped that the king would like her as she was now.

Helian Lie walked in front of her. Looking at her imitation of Cen Xue's expression, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over. How could she possibly be able to imitate Cen Xue's beauty? It would only make him more annoying!

"Stand up, what kind of delicacies have been prepared for Gu?" Helian Shan braced himself and went forward to help her up. However, he never once looked her in the eye.

Zana was personally lifted up by the king. She felt very happy as she followed the king into the parlour, talking about the delicacies that had been prepared for him tonight.

Helian Shan sat on the throne, not listening to what she said at all. He was only sizing up the immortal palace. Ever since Karina had left, he hadn't taken a single step further. Looking at the current immortal palace, after Zha Na had moved in, there had been some changes.

"Your Majesty, are you listening to Chenqie?" Zana looked at the king's somewhat absent-minded expression and asked softly.

Now that she was Lin Cen Xue, she was a gentle woman, so in all aspects she had to be gentle. Naturally, she had to speak softly as well.

Seeing her lovely and charming looking at his side, Helian Shan could only force out a smile. With a questioning gaze, he asked, "Are you Zana or Cen Xue?"

Zha Na was startled. It seemed that the reason the king hadn't come looking for her in the past few days was because in his heart, he couldn't confirm whether she was Zha Na or the dead bitch.

However, it was a good thing that he doubted her. He was afraid that she would not believe him the most, so all his efforts would have been wasted.

Zana showed her gentle side and her flirtatious daughter's face. She smiled shyly and asked, "Shi Li, who do you think I am?"

"Although you look like Black Wood Zana, from your every word and action, you don't look like her at all. You look more like an orphan queen, but the queen has already passed away …" Helian Lie's brows furrowed, as if praising Cen Xue's departure.

His sad and handsome face was very close to hers, and he did not know what kind of feeling was in his heart when she saw his face. If one day the king was grieving over his departure, even if she were to die ten thousand times, she would be willing to do so just for the king's love …

"This question cannot be answered by me. It needs the king to feel it with his heart." Zana placed her palm on the king's chest, feeling his heartbeat, making it quicken, making her blood boil.

She had never been so determined to stay close to the king. Never had she imagined that she would have such a day. This made her feel so excited that her heart almost suffocated.

Helian Lie looked at her ugly face and nodded. He would use his heart to feel and identify it. It was precisely because he had used his heart that she could not think of another way to survive tonight!

"Greetings your majesty, dinner is ready." The palace maid interrupted their conversation.

"Mm, why didn't you cook tonight?" Helian Lie pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Your Majesty, chenqie was the one who personally cooked this dish. Please don't forget, chenqie's culinary skills aren't bad at all." She seemed to be deliberately reminding him that he had personally made a table of delicious food for him.

Helian Lie looked at her smiling face and recalled how Cen Xue painstakingly cooked a delicious meal for him. Although it was a very simple dish, it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten and he would never forget the taste in his life. That was Cen Xue's taste …

"Alright, let's go. It's been a long time since I've tasted the dishes you cooked yourself." Helian Zhang stood up and walked toward the side hall in a familiar manner.

Zana was constantly watching the king's expression. Although it was not a very emotional person, it was a good thing that he no longer rejected her. This was a good start!

If she was the real Cen Xue, she would definitely not prepare so many dishes. This was because Cen Xue would never waste anything, only four or five dishes at most. She would never be as extravagant as she was now.

Even though she would catch Cen Xue's expression, she did not notice these small details. At this moment, she was cheering for herself in her heart that she had gained his trust, but in reality, she had already been seen through by him from the start.

He and Cen Xue had such a deep relationship, he knew every minute detail about Cen Xue like the back of his hand. To use such a ridiculous method to deceive him, she had underestimated him too much.

"Li, look. I prepared these for you. I've been busy all afternoon." Zana stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his arm boldly, as if she was taking credit for her actions.

"So it was all prepared by you. No wonder it smells so good. Sit down and accompany me for a meal." Helian Lie cast a glance at the sky outside the window. There were still some time before the Hai Dynasty. He had to delay this woman.

Zana smiled sweetly and sat down beside him. She placed a large piece of fish into his bowl and said expectantly, "Shi Li, try out this emerald fish. I've just learned it. Why don't you try it?"

Helian Lie had already eaten the antidote that Dr. Keser had given him. Regardless of what she put in the dishes, he didn't need to worry.

As she wished, Helian Shan took the piece of fish she had stuffed into a bowl and tasted it. Although the taste of the fish was very delicious, it was not Cen Xue's taste.

"Not bad, the quality of the meat is delicious. Compared to the dishes you've cooked before, this time you've improved a lot!" Helian Lie looked at her with a smile that didn't reach his heart. Just from the taste alone, she had already revealed a flaw.

Cen Xue could not produce such extravagant and unrealistic dishes. She inadvertently shook her head, allowing him to view Black Wood Zana in a higher light.

"Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking your head? Don't tell me you don't like it?" Zana had never taken her eyes off him, and she was puzzled to see him shake his head.

He clearly said it was delicious, yet he shook his head?

"Idiot, I'm fine. Your food is very delicious, but there's no wine, so don't you feel regretful?" Helian Shan randomly found an excuse to lie to her. Drinking alcohol could stall for time and distract her attention.

"This concubine has been preparing for a long time!" Zana narrowed her eyes and clapped her hands as she ordered the palace maid to bring the wine.

As long as it was something the king wanted, she, Zha Na, would definitely be able to do it.

The palace maid brought two bottles of fine wine to the table and poured a cup for the king. Helian Lie drank it heartily and naturally, he would not let her off.

Zana drank a lot, she was so happy tonight, it was the first time since she had entered the palace that the king had dined alone with her, the first time he had spoken to her heart and soul, he had said so much, especially when the king called her a little fool.

She dreamed day and night for the sake of obtaining the king's favor and his love. But at the same time, she also knew that as long as Lin Cen Xue did not die, she would never have a chance to obtain the king. That was why she was so ruthless and burned that woman to death in the cold palace.

Originally, everything would have ended along with the fire, but she had not expected it to happen again. The king had broken free from her control and regained his consciousness, thus distancing himself even more from her and suspecting her death.

Lin Cen Xue... She hated that woman. Even if she died, she would still occupy the king's love. This was unfair!

Her face blushed. The king had come tonight for her, Black Wood Zana. Even though she was playing the role of that bitch, she didn't care anymore. As long as she could get the king's love, she wouldn't even bat an eyelid if she had to kill all the people in the world.

"Xue'er, you're drunk …" Helian Zhang looked at her somewhat dispirited expression. He was certain that she had already let go of all her defenses due to the effects of the alcohol.

"I'm not drunk. I can still drink with you, I can still …" Zana's eyes were blurry as she looked at the king sitting next to her. She leaned on him, lost in her emotions.

Helian Shan hugged her with one hand and looked at the sky outside the window. The time was about to arrive, but judging from her current condition, it was the best time for him to make a move!

"Are you drunk? Can I help you rest?" Helian Shan's heart became increasingly impatient. As long as he took out the Crimson Dragon Soul Nail, he would be able to avenge Cen Xue immediately.

Zana enjoyed being in his arms. This chest was something she had always dreamed of. Today, she had finally realized it.

Helian Lie helped her to her feet and left the side hall for her room. Of course, Zana was not drunk to the point of unconsciousness, and she was well aware of the king's every move. She wanted the king to send her back to her room, so that she could have the chance to enchant the king to stay here tonight.

He kicked the door open and helped her in. This was the first time Helian Shan came to her room. There were a few portraits on the wall that he could not understand, but other than that, there was nothing special.

"F * ck, I'm not drunk …" Zana raised her gaze to look at the man that embraced her. He was very handsome, with strong and handsome facial features. He also gave off a manly aura. This was the man that she liked.

"You're drunk. Stop messing around and have a good rest." Helian Shan ignored her and placed her on the bed. He himself sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at her.

Zha Na's face was bright red. This was the effect of alcohol. Qianqian held onto Helian Shan by the bedside. She didn't want him to leave tonight because she wanted him to stay with her.
