Helian Lie looked at his anxious heart towards Cen Xue and lowered his head sorrowfully. He did not respond to his words as he walked towards the mansion by himself …

Looking at Helian Lie's lonely and sorrowful back, Tung seemed to have guessed something, but he did not dare to believe it. He could only run this question to Phoenix, who was standing in front of him.

"Miss Phoenix, tell me, what happened to Cen Xue?" Tung would never give up until he got his answer today.

Helian Jue was still behind his, and Cen Xue couldn't reveal his identity, which made her extremely upset …

"The Queen, she …" Cen Xue walked up to him and whispered into his ear.

After saying that, Tengger stared at her with a powerful gaze. He could clearly see their every move. However, what Phoenix had said in his ear just now was worthy of his suspicion.

The fact that she hadn't eaten dinner that night made Cen Xue's heart ache. She knew that he was secretly healing himself in his room, and today's words from Brother Tengge had also triggered the pain that was temporarily hidden in his body.

"My lord, I am the phoenix. Can I enter?" Cen Xue personally made some food, hoping that he would be able to eat some.

No sound could be heard from the room as Cen Xue boldly opened the door. It was pitch black inside with not even a candle holder lit. She carefully found a table and put down the food. She then took out her fire piston and lit the lamp for him.

"Your Majesty?" All the candlesticks in the room were lit up. Cen Xue walked into the inner room and saw Helian Shan sitting silently by the bed.

Hearing footsteps, Helian Lie looked up at her, then powerlessly lowered his head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, the Prince said that he did not eat tonight, so the Phoenix made some food and sent it to him." Cen Xue said carefully. At this moment, being alone with him, she no longer had the drive she had had in the tower.

"Mm, you can leave now." Helian Lie did not say much and opened his mouth to chase her away.

Cen Xue had already expected such a result. As long as he could eat a few bites, she would be satisfied.

"The food is on the table. The king should eat while it's hot. Phoenix won't disturb the king." With that, Cen Xue turned and left his room.

Helian Jue had been waiting outside for a long time. Taking into account her past few days of backlash, he absolutely believed that this Phoenix was definitely not the one he had met in the palace. There must be something wrong with his, right?

Just as Cen Xue stepped out of the door, Helian Jue dragged her to the backyard. No matter what, she had to tell him the truth tonight.

"Prince, what are you planning to do?" Cen Xue didn't understand what was going on with him.

At this point, there was no one left in the backyard. It was only then that Helian Jue let go of her hand and stood solemnly in front of her. It was as if what he was about to say next was extremely serious and made Cen Xue's heart tense up.

"Who the hell are you? Don't tell this duke that you're a phoenix, the phoenix that this duke knows is simply not like you. Although your appearances are the same, your personalities, your eyes, and the way you move your hands, are completely different from one another! " Helian Jue glared at him and opened his mouth to speak.

Cen Xue looked at him in disbelief. Had she really revealed a flaw? But why had Bai Lu and Qing Song come together with her?

"Your Majesty, if you say that I am not a phoenix, then tell me, who should I be? Perhaps in your eyes, who do you see? " Cen Xue naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Cen Xue, the queen of Lou Lan in my eyes, Lin Cen Xue!" Helian Jue looked at her resolutely.

As Cen Xue heard her name coming out from her mouth, she did not know what else to say. She could only stand there staring at him.

"Cen Xue, she is the only woman who touched my heart, but in her heart, she loves me, her royal brother. But even so, I still couldn't help but stop loving her. Because I loved her too much, every word, every word, every look, and every minute action was deeply engraved in my mind. Every time you hear the news about Brother Wang, you get a little excited, especially that look in your eyes when you saw Brother Wang, which is exactly the same as Cen Xue's. That kind of attitude and charm, definitely can't be faked, and that conversation between you and Tengger today, even though you didn't say it, but I can read your lips, so I'm sure you're not a real phoenix! " The reason for Helian stance was sufficient to point out her weak point.

After a long time … Cen Xue seemed to have found her voice when she heard his words. She looked at this injured man and realised that she was the one who used her to approach him. She did not expect to hurt him.

"I... Absolutely. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden this from all of you. " After organizing her thoughts, Cen Xue decided to tell him this secret ahead of time.

Helian Jue's eyes were wide open as he looked at her, waiting for her to continue. He knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.

"Are you saying that I'm Cen Xue? My soul is temporarily residing in the Phoenix's body. I won't be able to return to my body until forty-nine days later …" Over the long night, Cen Xue told him the whole story in detail.

He was overjoyed as he did not expect such an unbelievable matter. However, he later admitted that he did not even know how to speak. The reason he said those words just now was just to trick her into telling him the truth.

That night, Helian Jue was overjoyed. Cen Xue was still alive. She was still alive. Furthermore, she was by his side. This was great …

Early in the morning, Cen Xue was awakened by an urgent knock on the door. "Miss Phoenix, Miss Phoenix, the king is anxious to see you."

Last night, she had chatted with Jue in the backyard for the better part of the night before returning to her room to rest.

"Who is it? So early?" Bai Lu, who was sleeping inside the bed, was also woken up by the knock on the door.

"It's fine, go to sleep. I'll go take a look." Cen Xue got out of bed and put on her clothes before going to open the door.

"Miss Phoenix, you have finally woken up. The king is anxious to see you. Hurry and tidy up and go to the king's room. The king is waiting for you." When the butler saw that she had finally come out, he could finally catch his breath.

Cen Xue was in a daze. She wondered why he was looking for her so early in the morning.

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment." Cen Xue said tiredly.

After returning to her room, she washed her face to clear her mind. Could it be that she decided to tell Li about what happened last night? It shouldn't be possible. If Li Jun knew of her identity, she definitely wouldn't have asked the butler to pass on the message?

Helian Lie waited for her in his room. Last night, after he controlled his pain and his longing for Cen Xue, he saw the dishes on the table. Although they looked average, what did the smell remind him of?

After tasting it, a familiar feeling began to spread through his brain. This was Cen Xue's taste, and only Cen Xue would be able to create this taste.

The steamed fish, the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, and the Mab Tofu reminded him of the dishes that Cen Xue had cooked for him. He remembered that this was what Black Wood Zana had used to trick him, but Cen Xue's taste could not be imitated by anyone.

"Your Majesty, Miss Phoenix has come." Outside the door, Xuanwu led Phoenix in.

"Phoenix greets Your Majesty." Cen Xue didn't know why he was looking for his, but she followed the rules.

Helian Lie looked at her silently for a long time. That familiar body fragrance, that eyes as firm as Cen Xue's on the city gate tower, and that smell that belonged to Cen Xue, why did it appear on her body one after another? Who was she, and who was she?

"Did you make all the food last night?" Helian Lie finally could not resist opening the door and asking.

It was only after he asked that Cen Xue realised what she had done wrong.

"Yes, the phoenix is not very good at cooking. The Queen taught the phoenix to cook when they were at Everlasting Mountain." Cen Xue blurted out an excuse to get away.

"Oh, so the queen taught you to do it?" Helian Shan didn't seem to believe her very much.

"Yes, the Queen was staying at Old mister Ghost Valley's house at the time. Elder Mu Yue instructed me to go and chat with the Queen everyday to relieve my boredom, so the Phoenix is always together with the Queen." He hoped that he could believe it.

Helian Lie hesitated for a long time and did not continue questioning her. He waved his hand to let her leave before Cen Xue was able to leave safely.

Helian Jue heard Cen Xue going to Brother Wang's room and hurriedly ran over. It just so happened that Cen Xue walked out and he immediately went up and asked, "How was it, Brother Wang?"

"It's nothing. Don't meddle in other people's business. I'm going to the inn to look for brother Tengger." Yesterday, Cen Xue had actually whispered three words into Tengger's ear, 'I am Cen Xue'.

"Then I'll go with you." Helian did not trust her.

"No need, you should go to the barracks. It's not like brother Tengger is a tiger, he won't eat me." Cen Xue said as she walked out of the mansion.

Helian Lie sighed repeatedly in the room. Was it really as she said? However, he had always felt that there must be a problem with her words. It seemed that he would have to wait until Elder Mu Yue came and ask her in person.

Tung and his men were staying in inns in the city, and it was a time of war between the two armies. There were very few merchants in the city, and any one of them had a spare room.

Tung was waiting for Cen Xue at the inn. He needed to know what had happened to her. Why did she appear as someone else? It was as if Helian Lie didn't know about this matter?

Cen Xue came today to explain things to him.

The green dragon brought Elder Mu Yue and hurried over from Everlasting Mountain. It was correct that Cen Xue had entered the inn and brushed past them.

At this moment, the enemy sent a messenger. It was a letter of war, agreeing that the two armies would meet face to face tomorrow at Feng Po, five miles away!

Helian Jue handed the written challenge to Helian Lie. "Brother Wang, will they use trickery?"

"This is truly unpredictable. However, if our troops did not go out to meet them, they would have made a big fuss and claimed that I, Lou Lan, was afraid of them." Helian Shan was also very hesitant about this matter.

"Oh right, Brother Wang, the scouts have found out that Chunyu Jun, the Crown Prince, has escaped from the palace at Dong Wu. Furthermore, there is also the Second Prince, Chunyu, Qian He. They are all in Dong Wu's army camp right now." Helian Jue was also curious as to why they had come at this time.

"Good, as long as they are in the military camp in Dong Wu, they will definitely restrain the Nangong father and son. That way, we can slightly focus our attention on Tian Ye!" Helian Shan had already made his overall plan.

Tomorrow's battle would surely begin. The victor of this battle would be determined by this one!
