Helian Lie listened to Elder Mu Yue's name and thought for a while. After carefully feeling it, he confirmed that there was Elder Mu Yue's aura. It seemed that she didn't lie to him this time.

The two of them remained silent in the inner room. Cen Xue slowly lay down and pulled up the quilt. Helian Lie sat by her side and looked at her, just like that night, quietly watching her without saying a word.

Dong Wu

Chunyu Qian was kidnapped by Chunyu Jun and sent back to the east wall, where he was locked up in a secret room of the palace. Chunyu Qian told the old king everything that had happened, and he was so angry that the old king almost stabbed him to death.

"Even if I'm angered to death …" How could he have such a disappointing son? He had given a city to Lou Lan for nothing, and he had also lost a lot of face. He did not love so many women, but he was determined to kidnap one of them!

He had imprisoned his second son in a secret chamber and had punished him with twenty lashes. He had taught him a lesson, and had forbidden him for another three years. He was not allowed to take even half a step out of the capital.

Chunyu Jun had ordered for the punishment of his father and the agreement on the land to be sent to Lou Lan quickly. Helian Lie looked at every word on the letter and disdainfully threw the letter onto his desk.

Chunyu Qian was whipped twenty times by his father, causing the queen's heart to ache. He brought his daughter Chunyu to the secret room to visit him, oncehe entered, she saw his second son lying on the bed with wounds all over.

"Qian'er, what's wrong with you? Is your body still able to endure? Your royal father really has the heart to beat you up like this and yet you didn't come to look at him. " As soon as the queen came in, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

Queen Dong Wu was a middle-aged woman in her forties, but her skin was still white and smooth. She still retained her charm, and her youngest daughter, the Third Princess, was a pure and honest young lady.

Chunyu Ruo followed behind her mother with a basket in her hands. There was food in it, and some medicine for external injuries, and a bag on her arm. She opened the bag, and inside was a clean set of men's clothing, which she had ordered her mother to prepare and bring over to her second brother.

"Muhou, Ruo Lin, you came. I'm fine. It's just a small wound. I've already applied some medicine. I'll be fine in a few days!" Chunyu sat up and pulled the weeping empress to his side.

"You're still saying that it's alright? Look at how bad the fight has turned out!" To think your royal father and royal brother were so ruthless! " The queen complained again and again about her husband and her son.

Chunyu, who had been silent all this time, looked at his mother's crying face and said impatiently, "Imperial Mother, don't cry. Second Imperial Brother is not dead yet. If it were not for Imperial Father's actions, do you think that Congress would have let Second Imperial Brother go so easily?"

"Shut up …" Ruo Lin, what kind of words are you saying? You are not allowed to talk about these in the future, no matter what, you are a princess of my Dong Wu Country, how can you speak in such a vulgar manner? The Queen hadn't even taken care of him yet, and the little girl's question gave her another headache.

Although she was a princess with a golden body, she was the favorite daughter of the King and Queen of Dong Wu. Perhaps it was because of this that she had been especially dainty since she was young, and also because of the love that her two royal brothers had for her.

No matter how hard the queen tried to teach her the etiquette of the palace, she would not pay attention to it. Her coarseness gave the queen headaches time and time again, fearing that she would not be able to marry her desired Prince Consort.

"Alright, alright. Mother, don't blame Ruo Ruo. Actually Ruo Rou is right. The reason father and royal brother did this was for me. But I do not regret making such a choice!" Even though Cen Xue and I had only known each other for a few days, even though she had only seen me as her brother, I still accept it! "

Pure Yu Qian's whip wounds made the queen's heart ache, but he was still able to say these words, it was so infuriating for her.

"You … You truly are a foolish child. Since others don't have you in their hearts, why are you willing to harm yourself for a woman like her? " The queen just doesn't understand, and she can't bear to see her children hurt.

Chunyu looked at his mother and royal sister and smiled. However, one could still see the faint smile on his face, "Maybe, this is love!"

Chunyu Qian's words were deeply imprinted in Chunyu's heart. When had the Second Royal Brother ever had such feelings. Today was the first time she had seen his Second Royal Brother so emotional.

"Sigh …" The queen was helpless. Her children were all grown up and this was a time she could no longer control. The relationship between men and women was something she could not stop, but this time, her second son was looking in the wrong direction.

Chunyu Qian did not care about his situation at all. At most, he would only be whipped a few more times, but Cen Xue? Helian Shan absolutely would not let her off so easily.

Right now, deep within the East Wu Palace, his father had ordered for him to be grounded. If he couldn't even get out of this small secret chamber, what could he do to save Cen Xue?

Ruo Jian skillfully helped the second imperial brother to remove his torn and bloodstained shirt. She carefully applied the medicine on him once more, then carefully helped him change into a clean set of clothes.

"Second royal brother, if you have the chance, you must introduce me to the woman you like!" However, Ruo Jian was full of the spirit of the martial arts world, she did not care about those palace rules at all.

"Ruo Jian …" The queen was displeased again.

He turned around and looked at the Queen Mother behind him. 'Forget it, she should just shut up.'

The Queen walked up to Chunyu Qian's side and reminded him worriedly, "Qian'er, even if mother begs you, don't get involved with that woman anymore, understand?"

"Imperial Mother, what are you saying? "Forget it, I don't want to say it anymore. Ruo Jian, take mother and go back to the palace …" Chunyu Qian couldn't bear to listen any longer. In the end, he still gave the order to see him out.

The Queen looked at her son in astonishment. This trip to Lou Lan had actually changed him so much. Just who was that woman called Lin Cen Xue?

After receiving her royal brother's words, Ruojian left all the food and wine in the basket, then pulled her mother out.

The queen helplessly looked at her son. Since things had already come to this point, let him stay here to recuperate and think it over!

On the way back, the queen kept shaking her head. She just couldn't understand how her son had been bewitched by a woman in just a few days, so it seemed like she had to hurry up. She had to find a group of women to match him before he recovered so he could choose and marry her as soon as possible.

Hearing her mother's words, Ruo Hui rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, please don't mess around for second imperial brother. If you want to marry an imperial concubine, you have to give it to eldest imperial brother. Since eldest imperial brother is now the crown prince and has not even made a consort, what is second imperial brother so anxious about?"

Her precious daughter's reminder made the queen even more worried. The marriage between the two kings was so urgent that she could no longer let the two brothers fool around. When the two of them were done, it would be her youngest daughter.

Her eyes glanced at the pure and honest woman beside her. Ruo Ruo had grown up with her mother, so she knew what her eyes meant. It was too early for her to marry someone!

He had always been a trustworthy person who kept his word. He was quite satisfied with the way King Dong Wu handled things this time, but he wanted them to take good care of Chun Yuqian and not allow him to step foot in Lou Lan's hands again in the future.

"Father, you can finally relax now, right?" Chunyu Jun took the letter from his father.

The old man nodded his head. He had originally thought that Helian Lie would not let them off so easily. However, with the letter as evidence, he no longer had to worry.

Not only was Lou Lan the strongest in the Easton Continent, but he was also the most powerful, especially after the eight years he had spent sitting on the throne of Loulan King at Helian Hill. With the addition of the Great General Yu Wen Tuo and the High Priest Dan Yu Wu, no matter who their opponents were, they could easily defeat the enemy.

Of course, this secret was not known to just anyone. Ever since that incident, Helian Shan had never led his troops out in person. Rumor had it that he was a bloodthirsty devil who had caused the mutiny in Lou Lan Country two years ago!

These were all memories from the past. If the incident from three years ago had not happened, the Lou Lan Country might have become even more powerful and prosperous today!

While Cen Xue was recuperating, Helian Lie had ordered that apart from himself and the four guards, no one else, especially the concubines of the harem, was allowed to enter the Wen Yuan Pavilion even half a step, disobeying the order … " Kill without mercy! "

After knowing that the bitch had returned to Wen Yuan Pavilion, and that she was now a sickly girl, she had originally wanted to go over and ridicule her for her resentment, but who would have thought that in front of Wen Yuan Pavilion's door, there was actually a Vermillion Bird bodyguard who stopped her. Regardless of whether she was strong or weak, she was unwilling to let her in.

What a good Vermillion Bird guardian, right? Just you wait and see...

Bai Bingxuan left the Wenyuan Pavilion in a flurry of anger, holding a flower in the imperial garden to vent her anger. A beautiful woman dressed in brocade, wearing a bit of makeup, watched her barbaric actions from afar and helplessly shook her head, leaving the imperial garden with light footsteps.

"Empress, who do you think Imperial Concubine Hui is angry at?" The palace maid, He Cai, supported the noble Imperial Concubine Xiao as they gradually left the imperial garden.

Two years ago, Bai Yan and Xiao Boyi had both helped Helian Lie eliminate the traitors and stabilised Lou Lan's imperial court. Bai Yan had seized the opportunity to offer his daughter, Bai Bingxuan, to the King for support. How could Helian Lie not know the scheme of this old fox, Bai Yan?

Helian Shan had come up with a good plan. Xiao Boyi had a little sister, Xiao Ling'er, who was over eighteen years old, but she had suffered from a heart attack since she was a child. She was a poor woman who was not going to live long.

Firstly, it would allow Xiao Ling'Er to receive better care from the imperial physicians in the palace. Secondly, it would hinder Bai Yan's ambitions and secondly, it would also suppress Bai Bingxuan's aura in the palace!
