"You … I wonder what you're talking about? " Cen Xue's face turned red as she quickly retorted.

His powerful and dangerous aura enveloped her, and his sparkling black eyes flashed with a light that made Cen Xue uneasy. He said, "My birthday will be in a few days' time, at that time, I will announce to everyone that you, Lin Cen Xue, will become my queen. If anyone dares to stop you …" Kill without mercy! "

"No …" Are you crazy? It's already hard to explain why I went from a small beauty's rank to an imperial concubine. The position of queen does not belong to me, so in terms of qualifications, Imperial Concubine Xiao should be the most suitable. " Cen Xue was opposed to this as she was aware of the palace's nepotism.

Helian Lie looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to refuse? If it was any other woman, she would have been overjoyed by now.

"Xue'er, I'm not crazy. The Queen's position must be the woman I love the most. As for you, you are the Queen that I, Helian Shan, have recognized." Helian Shan tightly embraced her body as he spoke with absolute certainty.

Cen Xue did not say a word, as she felt that this matter would not be so peaceful …

That scene was witnessed by quite a few people. Helian Lie's words quickly spread to every corner of the palace.

For the sake of the imperial concubine's words, the king had unhesitatingly changed the name of the palace from "Phoenix Maiden Palace" to "Orchid Tomb Palace". He had mustered a large number of people to repair the palace in order to curry favor with the imperial concubine, and the king's birthday was coming up in a few days.

Within the imperial garden, Xiao Ling'er was bedridden for more than half a month. In recent days, she could finally get out of bed and walk around. In the small pavilion by the lake, she also happened to see Imperial Consort there.

"Your concubine greets Imperial Consort." According to the rules of Lou Lan's harem, this was something she had to do.

Cen Xue sat alone in the pavilion and observed the lake. She did not notice Xiao Ling'Er walk in and hurriedly got up to welcome her. "Your health is not good, you don't need to be like this. Come over and sit."

After helping her to sit on the stone bench, he sat down. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

"Why is Imperial Concubine sitting alone in this pavilion? Why didn't she bring a palace maid out?" She was truly curious to see her here alone.

"Ai, I'm a bit annoyed, so I told Wen Qing and Wen Xing not to follow me. Let me sit by myself. I'll go back by myself later." Cen Xue dragged her cheeks and sighed.

Xiao Ling`er rarely saw her like this. Could it be that she had quarreled with the King? But you haven't heard of it?

"If you have any worries, why not speak with chenqie. Perhaps chenqie can give you an idea?" From the very first moment, Xiao Ling'Er had fallen for Cen Xue's kindness and bluntness.

Cen Xue looked at her and lightly smiled, "Ling'er, don't be so formal, don't be called imperial concubine. You are Xiao Ling'er, and I am Lin Cen Xue. Can we treat each other as our best friends?"

"This... "Un, alright!" Xiao Ling'Er had been hesitating, but seeing Cen Xue being so blunt, she had no reason to reject her.

After the two of them got rid of their bad intentions, Cen Xue slowly opened her mouth to tell her of her doubts, "Have you heard the rumors in the palace recently? They said that the king would grant me the title of queen in the future, that he would repair the Phoenix Nest Palace in a grand way, and move many treasures of the national treasury to the Phoenix Nest Palace. They also said that in order to help me change the palace into the Lan Mausoleum Palace, and that he had used up too much of the national treasury due to the repairs, so the king did not prepare a birthday feast. "

Xiao Ling'Er nodded and looked at her depressed expression. It seemed that she did not want others to say that she was a beauty who had caused trouble for herself. That was why she was so worried.

"Don't take these words too seriously. I can see what the king is thinking. The position of queen belongs to you as well. As for the others, they are just rumors spread by those people. It's not that the king's birthday feast is not prepared, it's just that everything is simple. Don't you see the king's intentions? " Xiao Ling'Er intentionally asked him in reply.

Oh? What did this mean? Cen Xue really didn't understand it?

"Good Ling'er, tell me, my days in this palace are not as long as yours. I really don't understand the problems with my schemes!" Ye Zichen held her hand fawningly, wanting to get more answers from her.

Xiao Ling'Er's face was covered with a smile. She leaned close to her ear and told her the king's intentions word by word …

"Ah …" So it turns out that he has already thought of everything beforehand. Then wouldn't I have to face those people? " Cen Xue opened her red lips in surprise. She had not expected that Helian Shan would already be preparing for that day.

"There aren't that many women. Right now, the King's harem only has five women. Bai Bingxuan has already been thrown into the cold palace. Two of them are us, as well as Yu Fei and Dong Mei."

Cen Xue nodded her head. Fortunately, it was just a table full of mahjong.

Xiao Ling`er roughly told Cen Xue about the matter of Yu's consort and Dong Mei, and realised that Yu's consort was a beauty who had been chosen by the king during her performance in front of the imperial palace. However, after a short period of time, she had been ignored by the king, but she was naturally arrogant and had flaunted herself quite a few times to Bai Bingxuan.

As the weather slowly turned cold, Xiao Ling`er could not stay outside for too long. After telling her all this, she hurriedly left, leaving Cen Xue to continue her contemplation.

After sending her off, he had just sat down when his body was suddenly picked up by someone … Ah …

"What are you shouting for? Am I a ghost?" Helian Shan quietly arrived behind her. This indeed startled her.

"Hate …"

Cen Xue snuggled up to him. Although she said that it was hateful, she did not think that way.

"Now that the weather has turned cold, we need more clothes to wear. Also, why are you alone here? Where were Wen Qing, Wen Xing, Mingyue, and Little An? "Where did they all go?" Helian Lie was not at ease to let her stay by the river alone. What if something happened?

"It's okay, it's me who didn't let them come." Cen Xue placed her cheek against his chest disapprovingly as she loved to hear his powerful heartbeat.

"You … You can't be like this in the future. There must be someone by your side to accompany you. Only then will I be at ease, do you understand?" Helian Lie carried her out of the pavilion and walked step by step towards Xingqing Palace.

Along the way, many eunuchs and maids saw the king personally carrying Imperial Consort Huang back to the palace. It seemed that the rumors were true.

Just as he returned to the palace, people from the clothing department brought over all kinds of extravagant clothing. Cen Xue took a look and saw that it was really, really beautiful!

"Do you like it? The weather is going to turn cold, so you should buy more new clothes. If you're not satisfied with anything, you should just go to the big clothes maker and tell him until you like it! " Helian Lie half reclined on the soft couch as he watched her choose her clothes with a smile.

Women loved beauty, and no woman could resist it. These handiwork, colors, and styles were all things she liked. She came up to him with a smile and touched his nose with her own. She had questions to ask him.

When Helian Lie saw her cute appearance, he hugged her happily in his heart and asked, "What? Is something the matter?"

"Mm …"

"Then speak, I'm listening …"

There were only two people in the room, so what was there to say?

"Two days is your birthday, what are your plans?" Cen Xue wanted to wait for him to tell her.

Helian Lie paused. 'Anyway, the main character is her. She has to know.'

This year, we will not hold any birthday banquet, and will set up a table in Xing Qing Palace, and have Ling'er, Yu Wu, Yuwen Tuo, Boyi, Yu Fei and Dong Mei come over for dinner. It just so happens that they are all here today, so I have made myself clear. Sure enough, Helian Lie's words were exactly the same as what Xiao Ling'Er had told her.

"Oh …" Cen Xue replied without any surprise.

It was precisely her reaction that made Helian Lie conflicted. Why was there no happiness on her face?

"What, unhappy?" She approached her gently and asked.

"Nothing, I just feel that isn't this a bit too fast?" Cen Xue still had some misgivings in her heart.

He understood what she was thinking, but his heart was certain that no one could change his decision.

"Don't say those silly words anymore. Prepare yourself and be happy about it." Helian Shan insisted on his decision. After the success of the new village, he would organize a wedding ceremony for her.

Compared to the beautiful scenery and the beautiful and cozy harem of Lou Lan, there was an old, deserted garden.

This place was called Menglan Garden. I heard that many years ago, this place was the favorite beauty of a certain king of Lou Lan Kingdom, but how many women in the palace could ever be spoiled like this? Not long after, news spread that the beauty was not willing to endure the loneliness of the palace and that something had happened between her and the imperial guards. The matter reached the king's ears and he bestowed upon her a white silk cloth, allowing her to decide for herself.

But on the night that the beauty died, many people in the palace said they saw her. She kept saying that she was innocent, that she was framed, and this caused panic in the palace.

Many years later, the King passed away, and that matter was forgotten due to time. The Dreamland Garden had been abandoned for decades, and had long since lost its former splendor. After that incident, the previous King chose to move the center of the harem south, and from then on, the Dreamland Garden became a dead end for the palace.

Year after year, from an unknown date, the door to the Dreamland Garden was suddenly opened and another woman walked in. After that, this place was once again recognized by everyone, and this time, its name was no longer Dreamland Garden.

Not long ago, another woman walked in here. That's right, she was Bai Bingxuan!

Life here wasn't lived by humans. Everyday, she would eat food that even dogs and pigs didn't eat, causing her to vomit every time. No one would understand her current mood.

No... Every night, whenever she thought of that woman's complacent smile, she would wake up again and again in her dreams!

Revenge … She wanted revenge. These two words were already engraved in her heart on the very first day she lived here.

Bai Bingxuan's black hair floated in the air, and her palm-sized face was much thinner than before. Her skin was visibly paler, and perhaps because she hadn't been able to sleep well at night, there were faint circles under her eyes.
