After covering Cen Xue's body with a mask, Lan Qi'er's corpse was eventually mistaken for Cen Xue's corpse and placed into an inner coffin. The sixteen guards then carried the sarcophagus towards the Heavenly Longevity Palace while Helian Lie held Cen Xue's memorial tablet and sat expressionlessly on a soft couch. He raised his head and looked at the blue sky; was Cen Xue really in the sky?

When Dan Yu Wu saw the sarcophagus, she couldn't help but burst into tears. The person in the sarcophagus wasn't Cen Xue, but how could Lan Qi'er not feel regret and not feel hurt when she did this for Cen Xue …

Behind him were Yuwen Tuo, Dan Yu Wu, and Helian Fist. Mu Yue and Keser were respectively placed to the left and right of the sarcophagus, so once they arrived at the Heavenly Longevity Palace, everyone quieted down outside the door. Outsiders were usually not allowed to enter the Heavenly Longevity Palace.

After selecting an empty tomb chamber for Cen Xue, he carefully placed the sarcophagus down. Helian Shan did not allow anyone to enter, only Yuwen Tuo and his wife, Helian Qi and Helian Peng entered.

The ministers were not allowed to enter the palace today and each of them were left at home. All matters were dealt with by the old prime minister and the administration physician, and Helian Shan could also concentrate on sending Cen Xue off on her final journey.

Mu Yue lit up the Seven Stars Lantern in the tomb, which meant that Lan Qi'er's soul would return here within seven days. Although she had already been dead for more than seven days, there was still a need to be polite.

Helian Shan personally placed Cen Xue's spirit tablet down. The familiar name on it was what he didn't want to see the most. Why was the heavens being so cruel to him? Why did they want to take away his happiness?

"Your Majesty, my condolences …" Heather walked up behind him and said softly.

Helian Lie nodded. He would control his emotions. Even if he really couldn't control them, he wouldn't let tears and emotions fall in front of them …

Helian Jue stood by Helian Qi's side. His pitch-black pupils were staring at Helian Qi fixedly, as if those eyes could speak. He seemed to be saying, "Take a good look and open your eyes wide, this is the person who was killed by your conspiracy. Just you wait, she will definitely come back to avenge you."

Helian Qi looked into his eyes and felt panic in his heart. This guy's eyes were too terrifying. It was as if he wanted to eat him.

Mu Ru Yue was silently chanting at the side, seeming to be praying and chanting an incantation at the same time.

Yiyu Wu pushed Yuwen Tuo aside, walked up to the memorial tablet, and personally added incense to her, saying in his heart, "Lan Qi'er, go rest in peace, your sacrifice will not be in vain. Cen Xue is very good at Everlasting Mountain right now, she's very safe, if you can see her in the sky, you must protect her mother and son!"

Tears welled up in her eyes. Although she really didn't want to create such a sorrowful atmosphere today, she still couldn't help it.

Yuwen Tuo immediately pulled her into his embrace and retreated to the side, letting her tears of grief flow into his.

Xue'er, Xue'er …

Helian Lie stood dumbly in front of the memorial tablet, staring at the three familiar words. For a long time, he couldn't find the feeling of reality, as if all of this was a dream. How could Cen Xue suddenly leave him? Is this a joke?

Smoke curled up in spirals, and a white mist shrouded the sky above the Mu room. Helian Qi raised his head and felt as if the soul of a human had magically transformed, causing his entire body to instantly stiffen, as if even his body temperature was gradually decreasing.

Mu Yue had been busy praying and chanting the Life Spell for Lan Qi'er, allowing her dead soul to rest in peace and be reincarnated as a human being at an early age.

The ceremony was very simple. Since Helian Shan had not yet revealed it to the public, many formalities could be dispensed with.

In the middle of the night, Helian Lie lay alone on that familiar bed. There were too many memories left behind for him to recall, and they were all memories between him and Cen Xue. At this moment, he was lying there in a daze, staring at the bed curtain.

But Helian Jue's words were still in his mind. If he left, would that kid take over? Helian Qi absolutely could not be allowed to take advantage of this situation. Why did he still have a chance to escape this Lou Lan Country even if he wanted to be at ease?

"Your Majesty, General Yuwen requests an audience." Outside the door, Yuwen Tuo was worried that he wouldn't be able to make it tonight, so he came over to accompany him.

"Pass …"

Helian Lie got up from the bed and walked towards Yuwen Tuo with a jar of wine in his hand. Now that there was no one around, Yuwen Tuo dared to call out to him: "Hanshan."

"What? You're not going to accompany Yu Wu tonight?" Helian Lie sat at the table of the Eight Immortals and gestured for him to sit with them.

"She's the one who worried about you and made me come over to accompany you tonight." Today in the tomb chamber, although he didn't say anything, everyone could see the sorrowful expression on his face.

Helian Zhang shook his head. He took the wine in his hand, opened it and took a big gulp.

No matter what man it was, it was hard to accept losing their most beloved woman. If it was him, or if he lost Yu Wu, would he really know what to do?

"F * ck, don't drink so much. This wine isn't ruined by you." Yuwen Tuo snatched back the wine in his hand and placed it on the table. He casually picked up a teacup and used it as a wine cup.

"Tuo, tell me, if you lose Yu Wu, what would happen to you?" Helian Lie just happened to ask this question, causing Yuwen Tuo to shake his hand while he poured the wine.

He had just thought of this question. If it was him, he would definitely go crazy!

"I can't do without Yu Wu, so I'll protect her properly. I definitely won't let her be harmed in the slightest, and I definitely won't allow her to leave me." After Yuwen Tuo calmed down, he spoke his mind.

Hearing his answer, Helian Shan's heart instantly cooled down.

Yes, if you love her, if you don't want her to leave you, then you should protect her well. Not only had he misunderstood Cen Xue time and time again, he had also forced her into a corner. He was not a human, he, Helian Shan was not a human!

After snatching back the wine jar, he gulped it down in one gulp. He already couldn't even forgive himself, what could he use to beg Cen Xue's forgiveness? Even if he died, he wouldn't have the face to face Cen Xue as a child.

"Li, don't be like this. You can't drink like this." Yuwen Tuo forcibly snatched back the jar of wine. The current Helian Shan had completely lost all sense of himself. In his heart, there was only guilt.

"Tuo, you won't understand how I am feeling right now." Helian Lie wanted to use the wine to dispel his worries. Even when he was drunk, he could still see Cen Xue in his dreams. Waking up would only make him feel pain, making him struggle in pain and regret.

Yuwen Tuo knew that he couldn't let this go. It seemed that he could only wait for a long time. He hoped that he would be able to resolve this matter.

Yuwen Tuo accompanied him throughout the night. The two men remained silent while Helian Lie repeatedly drank cup after cup of wine, trying his best to get drunk.

Everlasting Mountain...

Phoenix remembered Elder Mu Yue's words in her heart. Every other day or two, she would make some food to eat and take some supplements to the back of the mountain to nourish the queen's body.

"Phoenix, every time you come, you always make so many delicious dishes. It really makes me feel a bit embarrassed." Cen Xue held a bowl of dessert and thanked her happily.

Phoenix was already seventeen or eighteen years old. When Elder Mu Yue returned, she would immediately undergo the baptism of the blood pool and become the Holy Maiden of the Sacred Moon Sect.

"Queen, what are you talking about? To be able to serve you, this is the Phoenix's blessing." Phoenix said as she took out a few more snacks from her food box.

"What kind of queen am I? If it wasn't for you taking me in, I would have no place to stay." When Cen Xue thought of her current situation, she could not help but feel a tinge of sadness.

Elder Mu Yue had already left for more than ten days. She didn't know what the situation in the capital was like right now, so how were they going to deal with Lan Qi'er's corpse? As for that woman, Black Wood Zana, would she do anything despicable to them? These were the problems she was most worried about!

"Queen, don't worry too much. Rest in peace. Right now, this is what you need to do. Just leave the rest to them." Phoenix was afraid that she would think too much and tried to persuade her over and over again.

Everyone was doing this for her own good. Cen Xue knew what was going on in her heart, but now that such a thing had happened, there was no way for her not to worry.

She really wanted to know the current situation in the palace, but even more so, she wanted to know how he was feeling right now. How was he doing without her?

Had he stopped loving himself? Has there been a new marriage?

This chain of questions caused her to lose her appetite in the face of so many delicacies. She was only pressured by these doubts in her heart.

However, looking at Phoenix's beautiful smile and the snacks that she had spent the entire morning cooking for herself, she kept the melancholy within her heart and forced herself to put on a smile to welcome them.

"The dessert you made is really delicious." Cen Xue put down the dessert in her hands and placed a piece of red bean cake into her mouth.

"As long as you like it." Phoenix replied indifferently.

Outside the courtyard, under the green pine tree, the two chatted while enjoying the delicious food.

Suddenly … Cen Xue revealed a troubled expression as her rosy cheeks turned pale without a trace of blood. The chopsticks in her hands fell to the ground as she screamed out with great difficulty, "Phoenix, my stomach hurts …"

Phoenix, seeing the situation, quickly put down her utensils and went to her side. She held her up as she shouted into the room, "Someone come, someone come!"

Inside the house, the Ghost Valley Master led Qing Song, Bai Lu, Zhu Luo, Xuan Qi and the rest to meditate. Hearing the urgent call from outside the yard, he ordered the four of them to immediately go out and see what had happened.

"Someone come quickly …" Phoenix continued to shout as she watched the Queen's face grow increasingly ugly. She had already fallen into a semi-conscious state.

Just as she finished speaking, Qing Song was the first to run out. "Phoenix, what happened to Miss?"

"I don't know either. Help me carry the lady back to her room!" Qingsong and the rest did not know Cen Xue's true identity, so in front of them, Phoenix addressed them as' Miss'.

Just as they were speaking, the other three people also arrived under the tree. They helped Cen Xue up and placed her on Qing Song's back before they carried her back to her room.

When the Ghost Valley saw them enter, and saw Cen Xue's pale and pained expression on Qing Song's back, he immediately ordered Bai Lu to fetch his medical kit.

Pushing the door open, he gently laid her down on the bed. By then, Cen Xue had already fallen into a coma.
