Yuwen Tuo was seriously staring at him. He had never been this cautious before. He looked at himself with such a serious expression. For a moment, Yuwen Tuo seemed to have no other choice.

"Well, I know what to do." What choice did he have but to nod his head in agreement?

Receiving his promise, a stifling smile appeared on Helian Lie's face, and his smile was filled with killing intent, causing those who saw it to feel their entire body go cold.

He had already gone mad. The death of Cen Xue and his child had dealt him too much of a blow, and he was unable to accept this fact.

He had numbed his own heart. Right now, he only had revenge. He wanted to make all those who brought him pain have a taste of the pain of living a life worse than death!

The moonlight fell on his body, lengthening his shadow, making him look more desolate and lonely than before.

Despite Yuwen Tuo accompanying him, he could not enter his heart which was now so high up.

His heart had already been sealed, and the moment he confirmed Cen Xue's corpse, it had already been sealed. In this life and for eternity, no one would be able to enter his sealed heart!

Because his heart had already died …

At the same time, Phoenix wrote a letter to let the three of them quickly enter the palace. The queen's body was currently very inappropriate, so Elder Mu Yue had to rush back in time.

The three of them rode through the night on their way to the capital, but things did not go as they wished. At this time, Mu Yue had already left with the army to flatten Pacifica, and the direction that Pacifica was in was in the opposite direction from the Everlasting Mountain. Limitless was at the southeastern border of Lou Lan Country, while the Frigid Fragrance Forest was in the northwestern direction.

At this moment, Helian Zhang wholeheartedly wanted to avenge Cen Xue and completely didn't know the truth of the matter. He also didn't know that Cen Xue was the one who was truly on the brink of life and death.

The Ghost Valley was worried about Cen Xue's condition and was afraid that she would be born prematurely. They tried their best to prevent her from leaving the mountain yard and let her stay by her side all day.

Cen Xue also found out about her situation from Bai Lu's mouth. Previously, she had consumed too much of Black Wood Zana's Birth Prolonging Potion, causing her baby to grow rapidly. This potion had now caused a backlash within her body, so it was very likely that she would give birth earlier.

"Child, child, you must be obedient. Let's wait for Father to come, okay?" Phoenix had already told her that she had written an urgent letter and sent it to the palace. Elder Mu Yue and the King would be back soon.

When Cen Xue thought of how they would soon see each other, she couldn't help but feel nervous and excited. They had not seen each other for over a month, and the two of them had misunderstood each other before. With so many things happening between them, she wondered how they would feel now.

The fetus seemed to have heard his mother's words. It seemed as if her little hand or foot had struck him back, indicating that he was there so his mother could feel him.

Cen Xue's face was filled with pleasant surprise, but it was quickly replaced by a disappointed expression. Why was it that she couldn't stand by their side when she was in such a good mood? Why couldn't she share this joy with them?

Bai Lu stood aside, silent. Looking at the sudden change in her expression, she could roughly guess what she was feeling.

Who didn't want to have their beloved husband by their side, sharing this joy, but … Sigh …

"Sister, the fog outside is very thick, should I help you into the house to rest?" She had already been sitting here for the greater part of the day. Every day, she would wait here for the man in her heart to arrive.

Cen Xue looked at the sky. It seemed like she was too anxious and the messenger had only been there for four to five days. He probably still hadn't arrived at the capital yet.

"Fine." With a light smile, he followed Bai Lu into the room to rest.

Day after day, the believers of the Sacred Moon Sect galloped for six days on their horses before finally arriving at the capital. However, they heard a very unlucky piece of news; three days ago, the king personally dispatched thirty thousand soldiers to wipe out Pacia, and Elder Mu Yue went with them.

"Who should we give the urgent letter to now?" a woman who looked a little younger asked.

The woman in the lead looked at the other two, lowered her head and thought for a moment. She then said, "Send them to the general's estate."

"Yes." When the other two heard her suggestion, they all agreed.

Yuwen Tuo and the others had already left for three days. Where were they now? Are you tired? Did you miss her?

"Miss, Miss, there are three women outside claiming to be disciples of the Sacred Moon Sect. They said that they have urgent letters for Miss." Bi'er rushed to her side.

Yiyu Wu had already been living in the Prime Minister's Estate for several days. To be able to find this place, she must have already made a trip to the General's Estate.

It must be a disciple of the Sacred Moon Sect. Dan Yu Wu seemed to be able to sense their goal for coming here and it must definitely be related to Cen Xue. Since Elder Mu Yue wasn't in the capital, they could only find her here.

"Take them to the backyard." Yiyu Wu stood up and walked towards the backyard.

Bi'er brought the three followers of the Sacred Moon Sect to the backyard. Dancing on a stone bench, she immediately went up to them and asked, "What urgent letter do you want to hand to me?"

The leader of the followers took out the letter that the phoenix had given them and handed it over to Dan Yu Wu, saying, "The Holy Maiden told us to deliver this letter to Elder Mu Yue and protect Elder Mu Yue as we rushed back to the Everlasting Mountain together. However, since Elder Mu Yue is not in the capital city, we gave it some thought before handing it over to you."

The instant that Dan Yu Wu received the letter, she felt that this letter was extremely heavy. It seemed that something big was about to happen?

"Alright, just leave the letter to me. The three of you have worked hard on your journey here. Why don't you rest in the mansion for two days before leaving?" One-Feather Dance greeted them courteously.

"Then, we will thank the Madam. We will rest for the night and the three of us will return to the Everlasting Mountain tomorrow."

Dan Yu Wu had the three of them settled down by the butler and immediately went to her room to open the letter. What urgent matter did Phoenix have to ask Elder Mu Yue to return to the Everlasting Mountain? It must be related to Cen Xue.

Opening the letter, she read every single word of the letter without missing a word. Her face was filled with shock. The words "Fetal Magic Medicine", "Dystocia" and "Bloodbath" appeared in her mind, but she had to remain calm. She had to calm and think of what to do.

At this point, she could no longer continue to hide Cen Xue's matter. First, she had to inform Helian Jue of this matter, and have the resolution to send the letter to Elder Mu Yue so that she could tell the truth.

"Bi'er, Bi'er, hurry up and prepare a carriage for me to head to Prince Yu's Estate!" Dan Yu Wu did not dare to tarry for even a moment as she was still a few months pregnant and was rushing about on Cen Xue's matter.

During this period of time, he would assume the post of supervisor of the country. Every day, he would go to the imperial court to have a meeting with the Prime Minister and Lord Xiao. It was only after noon did he come back from the palace.

Just as Helian Jue had returned to his residence, Yu Wu's voice rang out from outside the door. "Yes, yes! Something big has happened!"

With a letter in his hand, Yu Wu quickly rushed into the main hall. Helian Jue hurriedly stood up to support her, afraid that she would fall from her seat due to a unstable center of gravity. What could he do?

"Slow down! What happened to you that made you so anxious?" Helian Jue supported her into the great hall, allowing her to sit down steadily. Only then did he feel slightly more at ease.

"Absolutely. Cen Xue, I'm afraid that Cen Xue won't be able to endure this. Send someone to deliver this letter to Elder Mu Yue and have her tell me the truth." As soon as Dan Yu Wu sat down, she handed the letter to him.

Helian Jue was confused as he heard these words. What was Yu Wu saying? Didn't Cen Xue already enter the Emperor's Tomb?

As she looked at his stupefied expression, it was then that she realized that Helian Jue did not know the truth behind it. It was no wonder he could not understand it.

"Absolutely. Listen to me carefully, Cen Xue is not dead, and the corpse that entered the Emperor Tomb is Lan Qi'er. That night, Lan Qi replaced Cen Xue and stayed behind. Tengge escorted Cen Xue and left the capital, heading towards Elder Mu Yue." While speaking, Yu Wu had him read through the contents of the letter, so that he would understand what happened.

Helian Jue's face was filled with shock and happiness. Cen Xue didn't die, Cen Xue really didn't die …

However, after he finished reading Phoenix's letter, the worry on his face returned to his face. That damned witch!

"Don't wander around randomly, leave this matter to me. I will order people to meet up at the relay station and catch up with the army without sleeping at all. I will definitely bring this news to Brother Wang and Elder Mu Yue." Helian Jue knew the seriousness of this matter.

Once Cen Xue took the pill, the fetus in her womb would absorb a large amount of nourishment from the mother, causing the mother to be extremely weak. If the child was born prematurely, not only the fetus, but the mother herself would suffer from a lack of vital energy, which would lead to a difficult birth and blood loss.

The only thing she could do was pray for Cen Xue to persevere until the very last moment and pray that the child in her womb would be more peaceful and not torture his mother anymore.

Helian Jue sealed the letter once more and sent a deputy general and five robust soldiers to chase after the great army. He also gave him a command token so that they would be able to move unhindered.

The hope that was ignited with great difficulty was that the heavens would give Cen Xue and them a chance.

Dan Yu Wu waited in the hall for more than an hour before she saw Helian Jue walking back. She anxiously went up to him and asked, "How's the matter going?"

"Don't worry, I've already sent out my trusted aides. The army has thirty thousand people, and even though we've set off for three days, I believe that they won't be far. They'll catch up to us before the army comes out." Helian Jue's eyes were filled with hope. This time, he had to win.

In this way, Yiyu Wu was relieved. She could only hope that Cen Xue's side would be stable. However, with the help of Ghost Valley, he would definitely think of a way to nurture Cen Xue's body and help her regain her vitality.

"Guang, should we go to Everlasting Mountain?" Yiyu Wu suddenly thought of something and asked.
