Hearing this, Cen Xue couldn't believe the previous High Priest was so powerful. Then would she be considered an alien if she were to come here?

"Don't just stand there. Let's look for it together!" When Dan Yu Wu saw that she was still in a daze, she hurriedly called out to her.

"Oh …"

The duo searched through the book collection vault, but couldn't find the 'Record of a foreign world' manual. The two of them had to put in a lot of effort, but in the end, there wasn't anything at all.

"Forget it, Yu Wu, there's no use in finding me. If it were in the past, I would have thought that the diary would have helped me leave this place and return to my hometown." But it doesn't matter now. I promised Li Shan that I would stay with him, so I will definitely stay. I won't leave again. " The two of them sat on the ground with their backs facing each other. Who would have thought that the imperial concubine and the High Priest of Lou Lan would be in such a sorry state?

"Alright, then I won't look for you anymore. As for the matter with the blood pool, I can't answer your secrets now, but when I figure it out later, I'll answer you. When I saw you guys coming back yesterday with a face full of a loving smile, I knew that Li Shan must have gotten your recognition, right? " he asked as he nudged Cen Xue.

Cen Xue thought back to the life and death parting they experienced that day. The forbidden land of ice and fire, as well as the attacks of the black spider, almost took their lives. However, they still managed to survive.

"Yu Wu, I've discovered that I've really fallen in love with him …" He didn't need to describe it in too many words. Just this one sentence was enough.

Yiyu Wu raised her head and closed her eyes. She hoped that she could live a happy life with Cen Xue, then both she and Ta Ta would feel better. However, the Gu curse on Shan's body had yet to be dispelled, and this was the most troublesome problem at the moment.

When the two of them finished arranging their clothes, the Vermillion Bird had already been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

"Greetings, Imperial Concubine …"

"Vermillion Bird Ambassador, there is no need to be so courteous. Is there something urgent?" You want to make a trip yourself? " The Vermillion Bird was one of the four great bodyguards of the king. Without the king's orders, she would not walk around so casually.

The Vermillion Bird was clad in red, and held a Seven Stars Treasure Sword in its hand. It had the bearing of a female hero, but was also very kind.

"Empress, His Majesty ordered his subordinate to come and take the Empress back to the palace. Secondly, we need to invite the High Priest to the Xing Qing Palace for a meal. General Yuwen and Prime Minister Xiao are here to discuss the flood. " The Vermillion Bird replied simply.

"What flood? When did this happen? " Cen Xue and Dan Yu both asked at the same time.

"Just a few days ago, the local officials had been suppressing the disaster. This morning, there were a lot of refugees who came to the capital and found out how serious the situation is!"

After the Vermillion Bird spoke, Cen Xue and Dan Yu Wu glanced at each other before leaving with the Vermillion Bird.

The local officials were getting bolder and bolder. They had yet to report such a huge flood. After so many days, some of the victims had already flooded into the city. Only then did they rush to report to the imperial government.

"Bastard... Kill all the local officials who made trouble! " The two of them had just entered the door when they heard Helian Zhang's roar, filled with fire.

Their journey back from Everlasting Mountain was another way, and the place where the flood occurred was in two different directions, so they did not hear any wind along the way. No one would have thought that when he went out, he would be deceived by the local officials.

There are more and more victims in the city now, making everyone anxious. A preliminary estimate is that thousands of people have been affected by the disaster. If these thousands of people were to rush into the city, we would have to think of a way for them to settle down. We can't let them wander on the streets. Xiao Boyi gave his opinion.

As Cen Xue and Dan Yu Wu walked in, a clever idea popped into Cen Xue's mind. She quickly added, "If we don't settle down properly, there will definitely be many cases of people fighting over the food in the capital. So, I suggest that we set aside a few settlements in the city and distribute food and daily necessities as well as medicine to keep up with them. They have travelled all the way to the capital, and there must be a lot of sick people along the way.

The moment she said this, everyone looked at her, as if they were waiting for her to continue speaking.

Cen Xue walked to Helian Lie's side. Helian Lie continued to look at her. He wanted to hear what his woman had to say.

Seeing that no one spoke, Cen Xue thought for a moment before continuing, "With thousands of victims in the city, we can provide them with food and shelter. However, this is not a long-term situation, we must split them up and find new livelihoods for them!"

"That's true, but how are we going to split the thousands?" Yuwen Tuo also curiously looked at her.

Cen Xue standing in the middle was actually not a difficult matter, it was just that she was reluctant to part with it!

"The capital city of Lou Lan Country should have many rich merchants and gentry, right?" There are also so many civil and military officials in the court, each donating some silver. I believe that this amount is definitely not small. Also, which family do these rich officials have less guards? Could it be that each family can bring back a few people to be their servants, that's not too much. I believe that they don't care about raising a few more mouths in the mansion, if that's the case, at least a few hundred people can be sent out to settle down. This way, a few hundred people can leave the city. The remaining King can use the money that he raised to build a small village outside of the city to distribute all the land to the victims of disasters. This way, they can support themselves and start anew! " This was all Cen Xue could think of, and she hoped that it would work.

At this moment, everyone was silent. This made Cen Xue stand on the spot awkwardly, not knowing if it was good or bad.

Good …" "As expected of the Imperial Concubine of the Gu family. You truly have a great deal of experience!" Helian Shan had never known that she could be so bold. As expected of the woman he had taken a fancy to, she was "heroic and unyielding.

Helian Lie's words caused Cen Xue's originally embarrassed face to reveal a hint of joy. Just now, he had really scared her to death. He had thought that he was trying to make a fool of Fatty in front of everyone.

"My lady's method is indeed feasible, but how could the rich and powerful merchants of the capital so easily hand over the silver?" "And who should be sent to handle this matter?" There were many things that he couldn't participate in for Yuwen Tuo's general class.

"Imperial Consort Gu, in your opinion?" Helian Shan sat her down beside him, waiting for her answer.

However, this question was a little difficult for her. Cen Xue was not familiar with the officials of the imperial court, so what should she do now? He looked in the direction of the Single Feather Dance for help, hoping that she would help him out!

Dan Yu Wu had grown up in the palace with them, and was also the High Priest of Lou Lan. Naturally, she knew a lot about the officials of the imperial court, and upon receiving Cen Xue's pleading eyes, she immediately took over.

"The Empress isn't familiar with the officials of the court, so Yu Wu has to analyze this first. Based on what I've said, the best candidate would be General Yuwen. As the great general of Zhenguo, all the rich and powerful merchants in the capital are not afraid of General Yuwen, but the top one hundred places will be filled with the money raised. The top one hundred places will be shown to the world, and no one will be able to fill their private pockets! Those people are all people with face. They know that they have to make a name for themselves and even let the king see their names. I believe that they will not act that stingy. " Everyone listened attentively to Dan Yu Wu's words and nodded in agreement.

"Good …" This matter is decided. Yuwen Tuo, you will be in charge of raising the list of contributions, and you will also be in charge of distributing the victims to the officials and nobles. "Boya, arrange for the victims to stay at the branch point, and distribute food, clothes, and medicine every day. In addition, send people outside the city to look for fertile mountain land so that a new village can be established among the victims!" Helian Lie nodded his head in gratification. Fortunately, he managed this matter in time. He hoped that everything could be completed smoothly.

"This subject and the rest shall obey …"

Without the old fox, Bai Yan, interfering, Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Boyi each took up their respective duties and things were much smoother. However, even though Bai Yan and his henchmen were mostly executed, a ticking time bomb was left behind in the vast Lou Lan Palace.

Bai Bingxuan had been pardoned from the death sentence, but her death sentence could not be avoided. She had been sent to the cold and desolate palace and imprisoned in this desolate place. Every day, she would only be able to eat leftovers, and her life was worse than a lowly servant's.

She swore that she would definitely kill Lin Cen Xue. She would make that woman die a miserable death!

But today she had received news that this woman was actually conferred the title of imperial concubine by the king. That woman was now a imperial concubine. Even she herself was only a imperial concubine in the past, so she still had to pay her respects.

New grudges and old grudges were like a storm that was about to arrive. Bai Bingxuan shouldn't have the chance to leave, otherwise, it would be her, Lin Cen Xue's, death date!

The moon hung high in the night sky as everyone left after dinner. As they watched Yuwen Tuo take care of Yu Wu's every move, Helian Lie seemed to be planning something.

Helian Lie stood by the window, staring at the crescent moon in the night sky. His waist suddenly tightened and the corners of his mouth had a hint of evil aura as his arm pulled her in front of him. He even added a sentence: "Who dares to intrude on Gu?"

"Ah …" It's me, it's me! " Cen Xue was shocked by his sudden action.

Helian Lie pressed her against the windowsill between his own body and his own. His large hands tightly embraced her. When he saw that she had just come out of the bath, as well as the remnant enchanting fragrance of her flowers, his body instantly felt somewhat hot and dry.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Cen Xue could see the smile in his eyes. This bored swindler, sometimes he was just like a big child.

Lowering his head, he personally stroked her lips before saying with a satisfied smile, "What, you can't afford to play with me?"

Hearing him say this, Cen Xue blushed. While the two of them had a close relationship, Cen Xue still belonged to the conservative type of girl.

Helian Lie looked at her blushing face, and in his heart, he was overjoyed.

The two of them were embracing by the window when Cen Xue suddenly thought of something. She raised her head to look into Helian Shan's eyes and said, "Shan, I have something I want to tell you. I hope you can agree to my request."

Oh? Helian Lie couldn't understand why a concubine from the Palace would have such an urgent matter.

"Just say it, I'll agree to it." Without much thought, Helian Zhang agreed to Cen Xue's request.

Hearing his words, Cen Xue's face broke into a smile. "I want to leave the palace with Prime Minister Xiao to visit the victims and distribute food and materials to them."

"No …" You are the imperial concubine, how can you leave the palace to do those things? When Helian Shan heard this, he immediately changed his mind. The smile on his face from before was also gone.
