After leaving the imposing hall, Cen Xue felt that she had recovered some of her vitality. When she walked to the imperial garden, she let Wen Xing go back first, and then she walked to the small garden that day, leisurely sitting on the swing, letting the cool night wind caress her.

As soon as she left, he followed her out, looking at her from afar as she swung on the swing. He ran over excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be the king's favorite concubine?"

Cen Xue looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that it was him. She turned her head and ignored him, her eyes filled with disdain as she said, "I'm not his favorite concubine. I said before, I don't belong here.

Chunyu Qian was surprised at first, but quickly recovered. He stood beside her and asked puzzledly: "Don't you want to stay in the palace and enjoy the luxury?"

Stabilizing the swing, Cen Xue stared at him with some anger, "Do you think that anyone would want to stay here, rather be a bird that only knows how to enjoy and forget about freedom?"

Chunyu was extremely embarrassed. He never thought that she would view money as dirt and dung, it seemed that he himself was too lacking in substance. "I sincerely apologize, I hope Miss Lin can forgive my impudence."

"How do you know my surname is Lin?" Cen Xue looked at him strangely, as if she had completely forgotten about her conversation with him last night.

"Hehehe …" "Don't you remember that you told me your name was Lin Cen Xue last night?" Chunyu Qian was a bit embarrassed tonight as he smiled shyly.

"Oh …" "So that's the case, but I forgot, in the future don't keep staring at me, and don't call me Miss Lin, just call me Cen Xue, that's what I like to be called by my friends!" He pushed off the ground with his feet and started swaying in the autumn air.

Chunyu asked excitedly, as if she was afraid that she would not admit it, "Can we really be friends?"

"What do you think? "So annoying …" Cen Baixue shot him a glance. He had never seen such a slow man before.

"Hehehe …" It's just that I thought you hated me. Since we're already friends, then as a man, I should at least give you a small gift! " As he said that, Chunyu Qian took out a white jade and gave it to her.

Cen Xue looked at the jade ornament on his waist. It was obvious that it was a pair. Since he still had one, she accepted it without any hesitation. "This jade pendant is a pair. Do you still have half a piece on your waist?"

"Yes, in the future, each of us will have one in our hands. This is a gift from me as a gift to you, a gift from me for recklessly apologizing to you. How about it?" He laughed so brilliantly that it was obvious that she was in a good mood.

"Deal …" Cen Xue smiled. It seemed like she could still borrow this friend's help to leave, so why not?

Helian Lie arrived at Wen Yuan Pavilion slightly drunk. When he saw Cen Xue who had already fallen asleep, he did not go and disturb her. Instead, he quietly slept beside her, hugging her tightly and falling asleep.

Almost every night, she would come here very late, and every time, she would fall asleep while he would only hug her like he always did. Cen Xue only knew that he would come to sleep with her every night, but when the sun rose, he would already be gone by the time she opened her eyes.

After a few days of interaction, Chunyu Qian and Cen Xue's relationship grew closer and closer, and he even generously invited him to be his guest at Wen Yuan Pavilion. In the eyes of others, this might be considered disrespectful, but in Cen Xue's eyes, she only treated him as a good friend and invited him to be his home.

"Big Brother Chunyu, when are you going to leave? Why don't you take me out of the palace?" Cen Xue mulled over it for a few days, but she still decided to ask for his help. With her strength, it would be difficult for her to escape.

Chunyu Qian put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands. Was it because she wanted his help that she invited him to dinner today? However, her calling him big brother made him extremely excited!

"Do you really want to get out of here? If the king blames you, I'm afraid you will be the one to create a huge mess! " Chunyu Qian had to confirm her belief. Leaving with the woman who was the ruler of a country wasn't a joke.

You don't even know what kind of life I live here. If I stay here for one more day, I will have to suffer for an extra day, so, Chunyu, you must help me. As long as you get me out of the palace, I will handle the rest of the matters on my own! Cen Xue excitedly pulled on his arm and pleaded with him.

After these few days of interaction, Chunyu Qian understood that she was a brave and unscrupulous person. If it was really like she said, then he wouldn't care about her taking her out of the palace.

Seeing her pleading gaze, Chunyu Qian's heart instantly melted. He had once wanted to be selfish and bring her away, but all sorts of obstacles kept him from doing so. Now that he was sincerely begging, his sleeping heart was ignited once again.

"In a few days, the king will go hunting with my royal brother, and I will make use of this chance to claim that I'm not feeling well. After they leave, I want you to find a way to secretly find me, and I want you to disguise yourself as my follower and follow me to find an excuse to go hunting. Once we leave, we will leave Lou Lan without a pause, fleeing towards the heavens and entering our Eastern Country!" Chunyu's tone grew heavier and heavier as he spoke. He held Cen Xue's hand tightly in his palm and stared at her without moving his eyes away.

"Wait …" You mean you want to leave with me too? " Cen Xue was momentarily stupefied by his words. She did not understand what he was planning.

"If you leave alone, I won't be able to rest at ease. Since I'm able to help you leave the palace, if you go back, the king of Lou Lan Kingdom will not let me off, not even my royal brother and father will not let me off easily. Do you still want me to go back?" Chunyu modesty did not like a restricted life. If he could live a happy and carefree life with her, why not?

Cen Xue's heart skipped a beat. That's right, she was too selfish. He couldn't go back, he definitely couldn't go back to die …

Just as Cen Xue was about to say something to Chunyu, she heard a high-pitched voice from outside the door, "Imperial Consort Hui …"

"Who is this?" Cen Xue looked at Pure Yuqian who was sitting opposite her and then looked at Wen Xing who was standing beside her with a puzzled expression. To know oneself and know one's opponent was the best policy.

"This Imperial Consort Hui (Bai Bingxuan) is one of the favoured concubines of the King. She has a very unruly nature and is very rude to her servants in the palace. This servant used to work in her palace and was punished ten times by Imperial Concubine Hui for not being able to keep a steady hand on the tea leaves. She only let me wait on you until you arrived, beautiful woman!"

Cen Xue listened to Wen Xing's words. It seemed that there was a little influence behind this woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so arrogant.

"You have to be careful, her father is the Right Prime Minister, Bai Yan!" Chunyu modestly added. She was afraid that her personality would bring about a disaster. The battles between the women in the harem would definitely not be as simple as the official battles between men.

Cen Xue's heart skipped a beat as she recalled the words Helian Shan had said at the palace banquet. So it was the father and daughter pair. It seemed like this woman really had come with ill intentions.

"Isn't there anyone in this house?" At this moment, an old mama walked in, supporting a haughty woman. Wen Xing immediately pulled Cen Xue along to welcome her, kneeling in front of the woman. However, Cen Xue wasn't afraid of her, but stood quietly in front of her.

Imperial Concubine Hui looked at the woman in front of her. She was so arrogant that she didn't even bow to her. Wasn't she just a beauty? She actually had the guts to ignore her existence. She released the old wet nurse's hand and stepped forward.

Cen Xue saw her walking towards her and did not know what she wanted to do. Who knew … " With a "pa" sound, she actually slapped her in the face!

"Bitch, you still dare to stand here when you see me? Aren't you looking down on everyone else? This slap is my reward to you. You have to recognize your own identity and not be so ignorant as to appreciate my kindness. Don't think that just because you've been favored by the king for the entire night, you can climb onto my head … "Humph!" Imperial Concubine Hui glared at her with a murderous look in her eyes, completely ignoring Chunyu's existence.

She was the daughter of the prime minister, and the king still needed her father's support. Now that the position of queen was vacant, that position would belong to her sooner or later.

Cen Xue didn't expect this woman to be so sinister. It seems like the plot in this harem battle isn't just a bunch of nonsense. However, how could Lin Cen Xue allow anyone to bully her? While she was laughing, Cen Xue walked up to her and gave her a slap on the face … " "Pah!"

Chunyu was about to step forward to speak up for Cen Xue, but she was stunned by her actions. Not only him, but everyone present broke out in a cold sweat for Cen Xue. Even Wen Xing, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled in fear.

Imperial Concubine Hui's eyes were wide open. This woman actually dared to hit her … She actually dared to hit her?

"Bitch, you dare hit me. We'll see how the king will execute you!" Covering her face from being slapped by Cen Xue, he gritted his teeth and shouted at her. His eyes landed on Chunyu Qian beside him, and with a thought, she would wait to see a good show and see how the king would deal with this wretched couple.

"Imperial Concubine, right? "Please clear this up. It was you who hit me first. I am only returning the favor back to you. It is already not bad that I didn't calculate the interest with you!" Cen Xue's left cheek had also been beaten red by her, but she did not lose. She would persist to the end no matter what. A woman like this should be found everywhere in this harem.

"You … "Just you wait, you little slut. I'll see how much better of a life you have left." Imperial Concubine Hui had long been angered to the point that her face turned red. For a moment, she even replied back with her own words. She definitely wouldn't let this little slut off. Definitely not!

After she had left, Wen Xing immediately got up from the ground. Seeing her master's red and swollen cheeks, she immediately shouted towards the outside, "Little An, hurry up and get some hot water for the beauties. Then, cook some eggs to alleviate the swelling!"

Chunyu Qian frowned as he pulled her to the chair and sat her down, as if he was worried about something.

Cen Xue looked at Chunyu's humble appearance and said with a roll of her eyes, "Could it be that Big Brother Chunyu, you're still afraid of that woman? That woman just now did not even look at you when he entered and did not even put you in her eyes at all! "

"You, you are too impulsive in everything you do. I'm not afraid of her, and she doesn't need to put me in her eyes, but since you made such a ruckus with her today, she will definitely go over to the king and sue the villains. She won't let you go until you're dead."
