The two of them chatted in the dark space, almost forgetting about time. Helian Lie's face gradually lost its rosy complexion, but in the darkness, Cen Xue could not feel anything strange from him. However, she could feel that the temperature around him was dropping, becoming colder and colder …

"What's wrong? Is it a Gu spell?" Cen Xue vaguely felt that this was the sign of a Gu spell's activation. She tightly gripped his arm and anxiously asked him.

"Mm …" "It's begun …" Helian Lie's voice became a little weak, causing Cen Xue to feel extreme heartache when she heard it.

Blood. What he needed the most now was blood. Cen Xue let go of his hand and raised her arm towards his mouth. "Bite it. I am mentally prepared."

Helian Shan looked at her in the darkness, the anxious expression on his face magnified before his eyes. This woman, he would definitely not mistreat her in the future.

The Gu curse within Helian Lie's body started to spread, causing his entire face to look as ugly as white paper. Cen Xue's arm was right by his mouth. Although he didn't want to hurt her, he had no other choice.

"Mm …" With a groan, Cen Xue gritted her teeth and locked the intense pain coming from her arm into her mouth.

Her eyes grew heavier and heavier. As for the arm at her waist, it held her tightly, but the intense pain on her arm was still present. She could not hold on any longer, she was tired, she really wanted to sleep …

Helian Lie's eyes, which were still bright despite the darkness, looked at her without blinking. He watched as her face became paler and paler, his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier as he watched her fall asleep within his embrace.

When there were no abnormalities in his body, Helian Lie immediately released her arm and took the medicine prepared in front of the stone bed. He immediately stopped the bleeding and placed a pill in her mouth.

On the fifteenth night of every month, he would not be able to see a trace of light. Otherwise, his head would explode and if he became serious, he would bleed from his seven orifices and die!

On the contrary, when he was in the dark that night, he would move as freely as if it were day. Even in this dark environment, he could see more clearly than anyone else.

Soon, Cen Xue's injuries stabilized and the blood no longer flowed out. Helian Lie gently stayed by her side to take care of her and accompany her. Like this, they endured another difficult night.

When Cen Xue woke up again, she was already lying on Wen Yuan Pavilion's bed. Looking at the sky outside, it should be after dawn, right?

"Beauty, you've awoken. This servant will immediately report it to the king!" Mingyue came in with a bowl of soup in her hands. Seeing that she had woken up, her face showed happiness.

Cen Xue watched as the little girl ran out. Wen Qing came in and carried the chicken soup to her bed. She smiled as she fed it to her, "The king has always been by the beauty's side. He didn't leave until the time of the imperial court. I heard that he dispersed the Eternal Lane Tower this morning."

Cen Xue drank the delicious and fragrant chicken soup as she listened to Wen Qing's words. However, what kind of place was this Eternal Lane Tower?

Wen Qing and Wen Xing were the ones who were trusted the most by Cen Xue. Seeing her doubtful expression, they knew that she definitely did not know where this place was.

"Beauty, don't you know anything? It was Eunuch Zhao who brought you into the palace from Yongxiang Pagoda? " Wen Qing deliberately lowered her voice.

"Is that so? How come I don't remember? If that's the case, the place where I woke up was the Tower of Eternal Lane, but what is that place for? " Cen Xue seemed to know something, but she also seemed to not know anything. She was confused by herself.

"The king has arrived …"

As soon as Cen Xue woke up, Helian Zhang rushed over.

"Enter the king …"

"Get up, all of you go and bring those supplements over so that Beauty Lin can take a good look at them." Helian Zhang looked at her pale face and felt pity in his heart.

"Yes …" After all of them had left, Helian Lie sat on the edge of her bed. He extended his hand to caress her pale cheeks and said, "You've worked hard."

"It's fine, I'm a caring person. Just treat it as if I do something good every month." Cen Xue spoke very easily, knowing the truth of the matter. Indeed, she no longer had the same feelings as before, accepting him and getting along with him.

Helian Shan looked at the chicken soup on the bedside and personally fed it to her. Such a gentle and gentle person like him was truly rare in Cen Xue's eyes.

Helian Shan's reaction was a bit strange. He didn't say anything and only repeatedly fed the soup to her. Only after she finished drinking it did she seem to have some sort of reaction.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Cen Xue asked him once more in dissatisfaction.

With a very serious expression, he said, "Xue'er, there's only the two of us. If you want to ask me a question, I can answer it for you, but you must promise me that if we're going to be alone in the future, you must call me 'Shi Yan'!"

"Li?" Isn't this the same as the High Priest? " Cen Xue did not understand why he did not understand.

"No …" Of course it's different. Yu Wu and Gu Yi were childhood buddies, and apart from that, we're also related to the monarch. And you, you're his woman, so the relationship between you and him is obviously very different! "

Cen Xue looked at him and did not say a word for a long time. This man did not know what kind of medicine she was going to buy?

Helian Lie had a look of anticipation on his face as he waited for her reply …

After a long while, Cen Xue looked at him in defeat and slowly opened her mouth, "Zhang, can you tell me what the Yongxiang Pagoda is used for? When I got up, I heard from them that you dispersed the Yongxiang Pagoda, what do you mean by that? "

Helian Lie smiled in satisfaction. He embraced her frail body in his embrace. Hearing her call him this way made his heart feel exceptionally carefree!

Eternal Lane Tower is a place filled with women. Back then, Zhao Chang De brought you in from the Eternal Lane Tower, and you know about the Curse of Gu, so Gu Nu needs the woman's blood. The women that were imprisoned in the Eternal Lane Tower are all in order to give Gu Nu the medicine needed to suppress the Curse, but now, Gu Nuo only wants you. In these three years, every month that passed, a woman would be sent to the palace. No one knew how many women had died since then.

However, Helian Shan did not mention this to Cen Xue. Every time he sucked up the girl's blood, he would send someone to get rid of her, saving her from speaking nonsense.

Although Lou Lan was currently the most powerful country among the Three Kingdoms, he had been very clean all these years because of those rumors. Not a single survivor remained until her appearance broke this exception!

Cen Xue nodded and suddenly understood everything. So those girls were his living medicine!

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Looking at her expression, Helian Zhang could guess what she was feeling at this very moment.

"Nothing, can't I just sigh a little? I hope that you can become a kind-hearted Sovereign King in the future. " Cen Xue thought for a moment before she leaned into his embrace and spoke without a care in the world.

Her words were branded in the heart of Helian Shan, the good king, was he a tyrant in her eyes?

"For the next few days, you must not go anywhere. Stay in the house and rest well, I've been busy these few days, so I might not have the time to accompany you every day. Once I've solved Bai Yan's problem, I'll promise you that I'll bring you to Everlasting Mountain!" As soon as he finished his sentence, Cen Xue's eyes sparkled.

Great... I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect him to be serious this time …

"No problem. I promise that I will be lying in bed everyday for a few days to recuperate before going out to play!" She was excited about that.

Yes, she loved nature, she loved every plant, she loved freedom even more. If there was such an opportunity, she would definitely seize it.

Seeing her smile that was brimming with brilliance, a warm feeling rose in Helian Lie's heart …

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?" Within the Prime Minister's manor, five or six men around the age of forty had extremely anxious looks on their faces. They didn't know what to do next.

So it was the steward of the Prime Minister's Estate, Bai Fu, who had just returned from East Wu last night. Prime Minister Lu had purposely delayed them for another day, and they were obviously slower than the green dragon, so they had come back three days later.

Bai Yan read the contents of the letter and thought that Lu Yan would definitely form an alliance with him and help him invade Lou Lan Country from both inside and outside. However, he didn't expect that old fogey Lu Yan would reject his offer.

The relationship between Helian Shan and Chunyu Jun might have already been plotted against by them. It seemed that even if he miscalculated this step of Lu Yan's, it would be too late to ask Ye Tian for help.

Bai Yan had always claimed that he was sick at home. Many of the ministers that originally stood by his side were taken in by Xiao Boyi and Yuwen Tuo. It seemed that the king had taken the initiative.

"Milords, don't worry for now. This old man reckons that the king won't dare to expel all of you at once. If the king really dares to do this, then he's crazy!" Bai Yan was betting on Helian Shan's lack of courage.

Hearing this, the other ministers couldn't sit still any longer, "Prime Minister, even if the king doesn't investigate us all at once, we will still be expelled from our duties. Do you have to think of a way to save us?"

Five to six people were arguing in the study room at the same time, causing Bai Yan's head to be in an even greater mess. It seemed that he had to make a trip to the imperial court tomorrow.

"Everyone, please return tonight. Tomorrow, when this old man comes to inquire about the tone of the king, we will discuss it in detail later!" Bai Yan had already been forced into a corner. It seemed like tomorrow would not be a good day.

Thinking about it, Bing-Er was still safe and sound in the harem. The king wouldn't do anything to him when he was close to death.

The next morning, all the officials were gathered in the main hall. Yuwen Tuo was the leader of the generals. Most of the civil officials were now gathered around the Minister of the Left, Xiao Boyi.

Helian Lie slowly ascended the throne under the crowd. He looked down at the black mass of heads below and actually noticed the figure of Zuo Xiang Baiyan. It seemed like he couldn't sit still any longer, right?

"After how long my beloved Bai has been ill, are you feeling better now?" Helian Shan looked at him arrogantly. "What does this old fox want to do today?"
