"Don't panic, let me have a look." He sat on the edge of the bed, soothing the panic in everyone's heart.

Opening Cen Xue's sleeve, he carefully checked her pulse before looking at her expression. He then got Bai Lu to bring over the medicine box and prepare the silver needles. He wanted to give Cen Xue the acupuncture.

"Master, everything is ready." White Dew disinfected the silver needle with wine and handed it to Ghost Valley.

Ghost valleys' actions were precise. They placed silver needles on the major acupoints on Cen Xue's head to stimulate them. After that, they wrote a prescription for Qing Song and co. to prepare the medicine before finishing the task.

"How is the queen, sir?" At this moment, only Ghost Valley and Phoenix were left in the room.

"It's a little tricky, previously the queen was drugged by the witch, although it's not a lot of weight, but the queen has been taking it for a while, now the fetus in her womb has been affected by the drug, it's growing rapidly in the womb, it has absorbed a lot of the mother's nutrition, although it's not even 8 months yet, but it's showing signs of being born prematurely." He wasn't that worried about the premature infant. What he was most worried about was that with her current physical condition, she wouldn't be able to withstand the pain of the birth.

In the process of childbirth, if she was too weak, she would faint, which would result in a tragic death.

Although she did not know what had happened, since Old mister Ghost Valley had said that this matter was going to be troublesome, it was definitely not simple. It seemed like she had to immediately inform Elder Mu Yue to rush back.

"Then what do we do now?" Phoenix looked at him with uncertainty.

"This old man has just stimulated the acupoints of the queen, the queen will wake up soon, Qing Song and the rest have already prepared the medicinal herbs, now they can only stabilize the fetus in the womb, and also allow the queen's body to heal and replenish itself properly, I hope that the queen's body can survive the difficult time of giving birth!" That was all they could do now.

"The queen is in your hands. The phoenix will write a letter and send it to the palace, telling Elder Mu Yue to rush back." As she spoke, she stood in front of Ghost Valley and gave him a great bow.

"Little girl, there's no need to be so formal. Before Mu Yue left, this old man had promised her that he would definitely take good care of the queen. He definitely won't swear an oath." Phoenix knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times. He immediately helped her up. Not to mention that she was the queen of Lou Lan Country, even if she was a woman he had never met before, he would still do his best to save her.

Four hours later, Cen Xue finally woke up from her coma. Looking at the familiar room and bed curtains, how could she be in this room?

As she struggled to sit up, her memories slowly returned to her brain. Just now, she and Phoenix were eating pastries under a tree. Who knew that she would suddenly feel a stomachache? Not long after, she fainted.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Bailu Yi walked in with a bowl of black medicinal juice in her hands. Seeing Bai Lu sitting beside the bed, she hurriedly stepped forward to advise her: "Elder sister, you're awake. Quickly lie down, don't get up. Master has instructed you to rest more."

Cen Xue's face was pale. She smiled at Bai Lu and said, "It's fine. I'm fine. I'm too tired lying down so I want to sit."

"But …" She put down the medicine bowl with a troubled expression. She had never dared to disobey her master's orders.

Cen Xue knew her thoughts. This little girl would listen to her master the most. If her master told her to head east, she definitely wouldn't head west.

"Lying down is the same as sitting down, as long as I don't get up." Cen Xue agreed. In that case, this girl should not be in a difficult situation.

"Alright, I've already prepared the medicine. Just now, I've already felt cold. Now, I'll drink it warmly. It's just right." Phoenix brought it up to the bed and gave it to her.

Cen Xue was most afraid of eating medicine. She took the bowl from her hands and bit the bullet to drink it.

At some point, there was a plum in Bai Lu's hand, preparing to give her the medicine to dispel the bitter taste.

Cen Xue didn't ask what kind of medicine it was. She must have fainted a moment ago, something must have gone wrong. This medicine must have been concocted for her by Ghost Valley, so drinking it would have been correct.

"It's so bitter, I really can't drink anymore." Cen Xue drank half a bowl and really couldn't stand the taste anymore.

Bai Lu looked into the bowl and saw that she had already finished half of the bowl. She didn't try to force her anymore. She gave her the plum and placed it on the table.

"Master said that elder sister's health isn't good. Previously, the child was stimulated by the birth control medicine and is now absorbing a large amount of your nutrients. That's why you have to eat more and take good care of your body." Bai Lu recounted her master's words to Cen Xue.

"So it's like that. No wonder I fainted. I will eat more in the future, and I will definitely take good care of my body." Gently stroking her bulging belly, she wished that she could see her child soon.

"Yes, it would be for the best if big sister could think like that. Master also said that when I checked big sister's pulse, there are two meridians. It is very possible that they are twins." Although her words were true, no one could guarantee that the child would be twins since the child had not been born for a day.

When Cen Xue heard this, she was overjoyed. Earlier, Doctor Keser had said that she might have twins in her womb. Now that Old Mister Ghost Valley had also mentioned it, she might really have twins in her womb.

For the sake of these two cute little guys in her stomach, she would definitely take care of her body. In this backward era of medicine, if a pregnant woman had a difficult birth or suffered a massive hemorrhage, she could lose her life at any time.

Lou Lan's Palace.

Mu Yue and Hei Se had been discussing how to deal with Black Wood Zana for the past few days, but she had disappeared without a trace. The Dark Guard had been secretly pursuing her, but they had only found a few clues at the border of Lou Lan Country.

"I think they're probably hiding in the sky. Ye Ye and Lou Lan are rivals. If they're really in the sky, we can't do anything about them!" Heather thought hard for a while. These women were really crafty.

Mu Yue didn't have any countermeasures at the moment, but the king had been very quiet so far. Ever since the end of the funeral, the king had become very strange, not going to the morning assembly. Besides Xingqing Palace, he would only stay in the royal study.

"Alas, these crafty women." Mu Yue sighed and helplessly shook her head.

Helian Shan became silent. Every day, he would tighten his face and become extremely irritable. Currently, the eunuchs and maids in the palace all didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Brother Wang, why did you call me here so urgently?" Helian Jue woke up early in the morning and was hastily summoned to the palace.

Helian Lie walked down from the Dragon Throne and arrived in front of Li Yao. He placed a hand on Li Yao's shoulder and said, "I personally have to go out to clear up the battlefield, so I want you to stay behind and defend the capital. Are you willing to do that?"

"No …" Brother Wang is the ruler of a kingdom. As such, I shall handle this matter from the beginning! " Hearing this, Helian Jue immediately stepped forward.

"No need. Gu has already decided to go out personally this time. The witch can hide herself and not show herself, but what about her clansmen? "Gu Jue refused to believe that she would be able to hide her entire clan from Cen Xue. She would make her pay a hundred times over for the debt she owed Cen Xue. She would kill all of her clan members to accompany Cen Xue's death!" As Helian Lie spoke, killing intent arose in his eyes. This time, no one was able to stop him.

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Helian Jue didn't persist and nodded his head, willing to stay behind to defend the capital as backup.

"Brother Wang has personally set out to join the battle. What arrangements do you have? There is a Black Wood Family protecting him, so you can't underestimate him." He Lian said cautiously.

The weather was cold. Although there were not many clansmen and they were not very powerful Clans, Pachaya was under the protection of the Black Wood Family. The Black Wood Family's methods could make people's hair stand on end, and many clans had suffered greatly.

Helian Lie had already made his preparations. This time, he was determined to wipe out the entire Pachaya tribe and let Black Wood Zana have a taste of their extermination.

"You will be in charge of the defense and supervision of the capital city. As for the political affairs of the imperial court, you can discuss with the old prime minister and Xiao Boyi. General Yuwen Tai and Ta Ta will go on the battle with Gu Gu, as well as Doctor Keser and Elder Mu Yue. They will also follow the army." This was Helian Shan's arrangement.

With General Yuwen by Brother Wang's side, any strategy would not be a problem. With Elder Mu Yue and Doctor Keser accompanying the troops, no matter what despicable methods the Heimu family had, they would be able to crack them one by one.

Suddenly, Helian Jue seemed to have thought of something. He took a step forward and approached Helian Lie. He whispered into Helian Lie's ear, "Brother Wang, why don't you let Prince Su join the army and set off in battle …"

Actually, he did not want to silence Helian Qi that quickly. However, this method of his was not bad, if he were to suddenly die on the stage, then it would be his misfortune.

Helian Lie's lips curled up into a dangerous smile. For Cen Xue, for the woman he loved the most, he could even personally kill his half-brother!

After the two had discussed the arrangements in the royal study, Helian Lie immediately ordered Yuwen Tai and Yuwen Tuo to adjust the balance between the three armies and prepare food and weapons.

Yuwen Tai received the imperial edict and immediately ordered his troops to gather. Yuwen Tuo realized that this was an opportunity to fulfill his promise and immediately ordered his men to prepare three months' worth of food and weapons for the tens of thousands of soldiers.

The next second, the order was sent to the Longevity Palace. The two of them looked at each other, and it was exactly as they had guessed. If the king hadn't received news of the Black Wood Zana within the last ten days, he would have personally lead an army to wipe out Pacia.

"In your opinion, how confident are we in winning this battle?" Heather was already in the pharmacy, preparing to bring the herbs in case of the Black Wood Family's shady tricks.

Mu Yue lowered her head and made some calculations with her fingers. Her face didn't reveal any signs of distress. "Don't worry, Doctor Keser. I've just calculated it. This match will definitely be our great victory!"

She was just putting on an act, but according to the current situation, the Queen had just passed away. The King now hated Pacia and the Blackwood family, he had first fallen for the plot of the Black Wood Zana, then allowed her to kill Cen Xue, and then allowed her to escape from his sight. All these kinds of hatred added together filled the King's heart with the determination to win.

The hatred between the two of them was now a force to be reckoned with in this battle!
