Bai Yan's face was covered in wrinkles as he dozed off. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your love, your highness. My body is fine now. I will be able to share your worries for a few more years."

"That's good, very good …" Helian Shan carried a mysterious smile on his face, causing Bai Yan to be unable to see through his plans.

He Lianlian had discussed with Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Boyi last night and decided that there was no need to show him any more mercy. Xiao Boyi had already thought of a plan to deal with the vacancy of the dismissed official, and could investigate him at any time.

Bai Yan also caught a whiff of the weird scent in the main hall. Seeing that there were a few officials in the main hall whom he did not recognize, it seemed like the king had his guard up against him.

However, this atmosphere continued all the way till the next dynasty. Helian Shan did not make a move, which surprised Bai Yan. Could it be that the king was concerned about his daughter?

But if he thought like that, he was completely wrong …

When Bai Yan left the mansion this morning to enter the palace gates, Yuwen Tuo's deputy general had already rushed into the Bai Clan to capture all of them. Only after searching thoroughly did he find out that Bai Yan's warehouse was actually a small treasury, with quite a few of his tribute items being privately seized by him.

As for the remaining officials who were on the same side as Bai Yan, they were also unable to escape from this fate.

At this moment, Bai Yan had just left the imposing great hall. He thought that he still had a chance of survival, and happily boarded the horse carriage. However, he had no idea that the horse carriage was the one that had brought him to hell.

"Prime Minister, we're here!" The coachman in front of the carriage suddenly stopped the carriage, and a deep voice sounded in front of the carriage.

Arrived? How was this possible? He hadn't even passed the Divine Martial Gate yet, how could he have reached it already?

Furiously, Bai Yan pushed the curtain aside. With that glance, he actually saw two big words written on the screen, "Celestial Prison"!

"Bastard, you actually brought me to this sort of place?" He was so angry that his ears and neck turned red, and his mustache almost stood straight up.

"Prime Minister, this place isn't wrong?" Madam has already been waiting for you inside. The king has already arranged for the family of the prime minister to reunite! " The carriage had long since been swapped. The coachman in front of him had long since been replaced by Yuwen Tuo's subordinate.

"You …"

It was only then that Bai Yan understood what had happened. No wonder the king hadn't acted in the main hall. In fact, he had already made his move in secret. The king must have ordered a search this morning as soon as he left the palace!

As he thought of this, he felt as if he had aged a lot. He lifted his head to look at the two words written on the top of the tree. He had not expected that Bai Yan would end up like this.

Right at this moment, several carriages appeared behind him. The people on the carriages alighted one after another and exchanged gazes with Bai Yan. It turned out that they were the officials of the Prime Minister's Estate from the previous night.

The odds were against him! It was just that he had suffered so much because he had not found any evidence, thus he did not manage to capture Bai Yan. It seemed that the matter of him seeking help from the East had long been exposed, given the relationship between Chunyu Jun and Helian Lie, and Lu Yan being Chunyu's teacher, he would definitely inform Chunyu Jun.

It was all his fault. He had overestimated Lu Yan and thought that Lu Yan would accept his offer to team up against Lou Lan, but who knew that he would end up losing to his former classmate!

"Prime Minister!" When the officials saw the two words' prison ', their faces were full of melancholy, as if they had already predicted that there would be consequences.

A look of helplessness appeared on Bai Yan's face. He had never expected that after plotting so much, he would be defeated so easily by Helian Lie. The heavens' will … It seemed like his good days for Bai Yan had come to an end.

"Prime Minister, please …" The guards impatiently urged him to go back and report to General Yuwen.

Bai Yan walked up to him and glared disdainfully at his bodyguards. Now that he had fallen to such a state, these despicable people would treat him in such a manner. Who would even dare to provoke him when he was the Prime Minister?

The guards were not afraid of him, and when they saw that he refused to leave, they waved their hands and ordered their brothers to invite him in.

As such, a group of guards surrounded Bai Yan and a few other officials who had been stripped of their posts. They even drew their sharp sabers and placed them on their necks, "The King ordered that all the lords have been stripped of their duties. If they do not obey, they can be executed on the spot!"

Once those words were said, they had no other choice but to slowly step into the damp and mildewed prison.

Helian Lie and Yuwen Tuo had been waiting in the royal study room for news. The two of them looked each other in the eye and smiled. They were both fantasizing about Bai Yan's current expression.

"Hahaha …"

He had tolerated that old fox for two years, and now he could finally get rid of him. It was all thanks to Cen Xue, otherwise he wouldn't have had the chance to use Bai Bingxuan. First, he would kill the old granny by her side, then he would ruthlessly beat him up.

"Li, what are you going to do with the other party members?" Yuwen Tuo looked at his relaxed expression. It seemed like he had already figured it out.

He Lianlian looked into Yuwen Tuo's piercing eyes and walked to his side. He resolutely said one word: "Kill …"

Yuwen Ta did not find such a decision to be strange. If these people did not die, they would definitely become the cause of Lou Lan's calamity in the future. However, that Bai Bingxuan …

"Bai Bingxuan is your concubine, are you planning to kill her too?" She was not involved in the matter.

"Kill …" "Who told her to be so vicious? Furthermore, she is Bai Yan's daughter, so she must die!" When Helian Shan mentioned this woman, he was filled with rage.

Her every word and action in the harem was known by everyone. There were some things that he knew first, and many things that he didn't. In short, she didn't know the names of the countless people in the harem.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, everything has been settled. Bai Yan and his five accomplices were expropriated. The other minor officials were dismissed as well, and their vacant positions were filled according to plan. Bai Yan and his group were also sent to the Sky Prison by General Yuwen's subordinates! " Xiao Boyi hastily rushed over, wanting to inform the two of this news.

"Good …" Delightful … Helian Lie shouted loudly. He was finally able to effortlessly take care of that old fellow Bai Yan.

No matter how strong the Prime Minister was, he was still a subject. As long as the Prime Minister gave the order, the Prime Minister could send the Prime Minister flying to the branch, or he would be smashed to pieces!

Within Yi Lan Palace, Bai Bingxuan, who was recuperating from her injuries, had just received news that her Bai Family had been charged with conspiracy to defraud and wanted their entire family to execute her. Now, the Vermillion Bird had brought its guards with it to capture her.

What should he do? What should he do? What should she do now?

Your Majesty, she could beg the King. Perhaps the King would spare her?

"No …" The king's every move that day, and his expression, it seemed as if he wanted to kill her, the king definitely wouldn't let her off. After thinking about it, she could only beg one person.

While the Vermillion Bird hadn't arrived yet, Bai Bingxuan changed into the palace maid's clothes and quietly escaped through the window. She wanted to go to the Immortal Dweller Hall. Perhaps the High Priest could save her entire family!

Helian Shan gave Cen Xue an order not to go out during this period of time. However, she couldn't stand being cooped up in the Wen Yuan Pavilion, so she secretly ran to the immortal palace to find Dan Yu Wu.

The palace was the palace of the previous High Priestesses and was different from ordinary palaces. Upon walking in here, Cen Xue felt a sense of unfathomable mysteriousness. Perhaps this was what everyone was referring to as fantasy?

"Did the king know that you ran out like this? There has been a change in the country these few days, so I advise you not to walk around. " Dan Yu Wu didn't expect that she would come to the Immortal Mansion to find her.

Cen Xue followed her inside, her eyes never leaving her palace to look around. Even though it wasn't as gorgeous as Xingqing Palace, the decorations here were very special and the room emitted a faint aroma of sandalwood, which was very pleasing to the nose.

"It's okay, I'm just here for you. It's not like I'm just messing around. I know you guys have been busy dealing with Bai Yan recently. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you guys!" He followed her and sat down. This was the first time she had come to visit.

As Dan Yu Wu smiled, she asked the palace maid to prepare some scented tea and sent it over. The scents of the flowers wafted towards her. Cen Xue could really relax after smelling the scented tea.

"It smells so good, I didn't expect that Yu Wu had such a deep understanding of tea ceremony." He brought it to his mouth and tasted it. It was indeed sweet and refreshing.

"No, these are all things that you learn out of boredom. If you like it, you can come over often, but you have to stay for a few days. These few days are the critical days, don't come out." Yiyu Wu was still somewhat worried for her orders.

"Mm, I've already come here today. You can't possibly kick me out, right?" Cen Xue drank the scented tea in one gulp, leaving behind some traces of being a scoundrel.

There was nothing she could do. She could only shake her head and smile. Looking at her, it seemed that she had already started to accept the truth.

This is a good omen, a good start, I hope you can really find your true love...

"Ah …" "The High Priest …" The servant girl's loud shout came from outside the door, causing the two who were chatting to suddenly be on guard.

Yiyu Wu got up and ran out while Cen Xue was protected by a few palace maids. A few steps later, a woman dressed as a palace maid barged in. Cen Xue followed behind her and saw that it was Imperial Concubine Hui, who was currently recuperating.

"Bai Bingxuan, how dare you barge into my Immortal Mansion!" Yiyu Wu had never held any good will towards her. Now that Bai Yan was going to step down, as his daughter, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape this calamity.

Bai Bingxuan knelt on the ground and pulled at the hem of her dress. At this moment, she no longer had the haughty face from before, but looked pitiful as she implored Yu Wu, "High Priest, it was my fault, it was my fault. However, I have never harmed you before, please help me. I don't want to die, I beg you to save me, save my mother …"

"If I had known earlier, why would I have done what I did?" Dan Yu Wu was indifferent to her pleas, but Cen Xue, on the other hand, could not bear to see her like this.
