Helian Shan was being nourished by the blood, and his entire body was slowly recovering. When he felt the churning pain in his body disappear, he immediately stopped, and took the hemostasis medicine and gauze beside the bed, which he had prepared a long time ago, to quickly heal Cen Xue's wounds.

He quickly bandaged her up and opened her sleeping points as if nothing had happened. Cen Xue's face was clearly paler than before and there was a dazzling bandage wrapped around her arm.

Helian Lie looked at the wound on her arm, and remained silent for a long time. He thought to himself, if this continues for a long period of time, Cen Xue's body will definitely not be able to withstand it. Every month, she will give him so much blood.

It had been three years, and he had had enough of this life. It had been so difficult for him to meet a woman that had broken into his heart. He couldn't just keep hurting her again and again!

Ye Zichen let out a long sigh. What should he do in order to break the curse on Ye Zichen's body?

Cen Xue seemed to have had a very, very long dream. When she woke up the next day, everything was over.

After Helian Shan left the imperial palace, he and Yuwen Tuo left the palace together. They heard that Yuwen Tuo had gone out to investigate the new village, and even Dancing Single Feather had gone along.

Her whole body was sore from last night's piston exercise, and her arm was still aching. Why didn't he wake her up last night? But looking at the gauze on his arm, he told her that he had drunk her blood last night.

"Master, just lie still and let Wen Qing serve you." Wenqing helped her up, allowing her to lean comfortably against the headboard of the bed.

Cen Xue looked at the item she brought in and asked curiously, "Wenqing, what is that? Sugar water? "

Oh, this is Concubine Xiao's Concubine Xiao's Soup Dumplings. She said that Imperial Concubine Xiao knew that Master must have been feeling very weak today and should have recovered some energy. She stopped the bird's nest very early in the morning and sent it over when she heard that you had woken up. Wen Qing explained a little. Then, she scooped out a bowl and brought it to her bedside and carefully fed it to her.

Cen Xue nodded as she ate. The stew was just right, it was even more delicious than the food in the kitchen.

"Come on, you should eat a little too. It's so delicious. It's even more delicious than the food made by those Masters." Cen Xue's face was full of satisfaction and her mouth was filled with sweetness.

"This servant doesn't dare. Imperial Concubine Xiao sent this over." How could Wen Qing have the guts to do so?

"Silly girl, what are you afraid of? Eat, aren't there a lot of them?" Cen Xue had never cared about these things. She would often split the food and fun she had with them.

Xing Qing Palace used to be a palace for Helian Lie. No consort was allowed to enter it. The entire palace was lifeless almost every day. The servants here did not dare to speak too loudly, afraid of angering the king.

But now it was different. The imperial concubine had moved in, and the night and night were entwined with each other with the king. This was something the entire Xing Qing Palace, and even the entire imperial harem knew.

Every time the imperial concubine was happy, the king might even give her a reward. This made all the maids and eunuchs in the imperial harem stretch out their necks to move in to serve the imperial concubine.

The new village was located right on top of this mountain. Many young residents of the village had come to help, and many houses were being built at the foot of the mountain. Helian Lie had personally come out to inspect the site today, and along the way, he had seen many real people.

"My lord, the construction site is up ahead." Yuwen Tuo led him off the horse and walked all the way in. The men were doing heavy work, and the women picked up some light work. The older children were on the construction site serving tea. Although everyone was tired, they all had smiles on their faces.

Helian Shan didn't want Yuwen Tuo to reveal his identity so that everyone wouldn't be too nervous. He followed Yuwen Tuo to a portion of the already built houses and looked at the surroundings. Although the houses weren't big, it was enough to accommodate a family.

"Good, remember to give these victims some daily necessities and silver taels." Although no expression could be seen on his face, his heart was still warm.

Under Helian Shan's rule, as a citizen of Lou Lan, he would definitely not let his people live without food in the wilderness!

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. All these arrangements have been made. As long as each household has a house to settle down, we can go to the inn and collect the items according to the number of guests." These Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Boyi had already arranged for it to be divided.

Helian Shan watched the progress of the construction site. In about a month, all of the victims would be admitted into the new village and they would have to start over on the new land.

"You guys are here, making it easy for me to find you." Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside. It was One-Feather Dance.

"You still have the nerve to say that I haven't seen you since I left the palace. Now, you know that you're looking for us." Helian Zhang waved his hand to allow the remaining guards to leave, leaving only three people behind.

Dan Yu Wu shrugged and walked to Yuwen Tuo's side. Currently, there were only the three of them in the room, she didn't hide anything. In any case, Helian Shan already knew that they were together.

"I just checked the farmland and also checked on the situation of everyone planting, that's why I came here late. Zhang Shan, you can't have become so narrow-minded now, right?" Ye Zichen hooked a hand around Yuwen Tuo's arm and said with a smile.

Helian Lie had heard Cen Xue mention that the two of them were together, but it was the first time that this had happened in front of him. Even though he already had Cen Xue in his heart, he was still not used to seeing how friendly the two of them were.

"Cough, cough …" After letting out a light cough, He Lianlian finally replied: "Whether I'm petty or not, don't tell me that you guys still don't know?"

Yuwen Tuo and Dan Yu Wu looked at each other and smiled. Their eyes were filled with deep feelings for each other …

Half a month later …

During this period of time, His Majesty had personally come over many times to check, and the meaning was very obvious. This was something that everyone in the palace knew, and by doing so, the Emperor wanted to bestow upon the imperial concubine of the Lin Family the title of queen!

Today, Cen Xue was lying on the windowsill in boredom. The palace was simply too stuffy and she couldn't find any fun.

Helian Lie returned to Xing Qing Palace unexpectedly early today. When he entered the room, he saw her lying on the windowsill like a silly little girl. She approached him lightly, and suddenly … He held her tightly in his arms from behind.

"Ah …" Cen Xue let out a surprised cry after being struck by him for no reason.

"It's me. Stop shouting, are you interested in following me to a place?" Helian Shan said in her ear with a smile.

It just so happened that she was bored. Hearing him say this, she seemed to be very mysterious. Cen Xue nodded and excitedly followed him.

Holding her hand, they strolled all the way to the Eastern Palace's Phoenix Maiden Palace. Here, some finishing work was still going on, and every craftsman was busy. When they saw the figure of the king and imperial concubine, they immediately stood respectfully at their sides, not daring to even breathe.

"Xue'er, take a look. Are you satisfied with this place?" Helian Shan said softly to Cen Xue.

Cen Xue looked at the palace in front of her and was shocked. The size of this place was very large, not inferior to his Palace of Xing Qing. Most importantly, this place... So beautiful! Inside, it contained a bedchamber, a study, a garden, a gurgling stream, and even a lotus pond.

This place was almost entirely surrounded by clear water, and in the middle was a beautiful bamboo bridge.

The garden was divided into two parts, one end of which was a bamboo forest, the other a peach forest. One could imagine that when the flowers bloomed in the spring, the petals would dance all over the sky, gently floating past the lush bamboo forest and then floating above the water with the wind. The clear water would also become green and lush, making the bamboo forest even more dreamy.

Such a beautiful scene involuntarily appeared in her eyes. This place wasn't as cold and hard as she had imagined, but instead seemed more like a paradise isolated from the world. Helian Lie smiled faintly. From Cen Xue's joyful eyes, he could tell what she was thinking. Thus, he gently embraced her and whispered into her ear, "Xue'er, is this place beautiful?"

"Mm …" Cen Xue subconsciously nodded her head. After which, she raised her head and looked at the few large, burning words.

"Phoenix Maiden Palace …" She was mumbling the name, as if she were thinking about something. Helian Lie's thin lips slightly curled as an irresistible charm burst forth from his body. He similarly looked at the few words: "What's wrong? If you don't like this name, then let's change it, eh?"

Upon saying that, Helian Lie turned to Zhao Changde who was standing at the side and ordered, "Go and change this name."

"Understood …" Your Majesty, may I ask what name you would like to change into? " Zhao Changde asked respectfully. Cen Xue also looked curiously at Helian Shan by his side. Just what was going on in his gourd?

Helian Lie pondered for a while. He then shifted his gaze to Cen Xue, who had an extremely beautiful complexion, and smiled gently. Then, he looked at her deeply and softly said, "From now on, this place is no longer the Phoenix Palace. "Lan Ling Palace!"

"Yes, my lord!" Upon receiving the order, Zhao Chang was forced to immediately go down to make the necessary arrangements.

"Lan Ling Palace..." "What a beautiful name." Cen Xue's heart had just been struck. How could he see through her heart so clearly?

"Peach colored lips, slightly open in shock, eyes as innocent as a fawn's, wide open …" "So beautiful …" Helian Shan's low and deep laughter entered his ears.

He pulled up a strand of her long hair, using the strength of his hands in a very coincidental fashion. His usually cold eyes were as soft as autumn water, and his deep voice was filled with pity.

"Li, let's go." Holding his hand, he suddenly felt like leaving.

Actually, the mumbling that came out of her mouth earlier wasn't just because of the name "Phoenix Maiden Palace" but also because this was the palace of his wife, and she shouldn't have appeared here.

"What happened? Wasn't it fine just now? Don't you like it here? I specially made this for you. " Helian Shan took her arm and held her back.

"This is the queen's sleeping quarters. I don't want to live here, but I think it's good to live here. There's no need to move here." Cen Xue rejected him because she did not want to be separated from him.

"No, Xue'er, you must stay here …" "Even if it's just for a day, you still have to stay …" Helian Shan lightly embraced her body and softly muttered. His voice was extremely gentle.

Even if he had to live here for a day, he would?

Cen Xue was a little curious by his words. If she really was only staying for a day, then why would he need to meticulously repair this place? What strange words!

Helian Zhang did not hastily explain the reason to her. Instead, he lightly curled his lips. "Do you think that I would let you leave my side?"

His words were filled with arrogance and ambiguity, causing Cen Xue's heart to skip a beat.
