"Yu Wu, you're finally here. Come and see Cen Xue, she's been poisoned with poison!" Seeing the appearance of Dan Yu Wu, Helian Lie kicked aside the imperial physician kneeling beside him and pulled Dan Yu Wu to the bedside.

When Dan Yu Wu heard the 'poison' in Helian Lie's mouth, her heart chilled a lot. She immediately took out a pill from her body and fed it to Cen Xue, but the water couldn't go down. Helian Shan panicked and personally drank a mouthful of water.

This pill can temporarily control the poison for now. There is no cure for the poison, and the only thing we can do now is to control the spread of the poison and invite Elder Mu Yue and Senior Ghost Valley to come here together to think of a solution. If we can wait until Witch Doctor Keser returns, then Cen Xue might still be able to save us! These were the only methods that the One-Feather Dance could think of at the moment.

Helian Lie quietly listened to Yu Wu's words. What she said was reasonable. There was indeed no cure for the poison. If the Witch Doctor Keser was here, there might be a chance for survival.

"Good …" But it would be too much of a waste of time for the Everlasting Mountain to come here. Do you have any way for Elder Mu Yue to know about the situation over here from a thousand miles away? " Helian Shan had been calculating the time problem, he was afraid that Cen Xue would not be able to hold on.

"No problem, Yu Wu naturally has a way to communicate with Elder Mu Yue." However, don't forget that she was the High Priest now. This sort of trick wouldn't be difficult for her.

Now that the problem had been solved, it all depended on whether Cen Xue could endure or not. If she was fast enough, Elder Mu Yue would definitely be here in three days!

When Dan Yu Wu saw Helian Shan's anxious gaze, her heart was filled with sorrow. She had finally managed to look forward to the dawn with great difficulty. Could it be that the heavens really wanted to stand tall? This was too unfair to him!

He had indeed killed many women in the past few years, but he had no choice but to do so. In order to suppress the curse every month, he could only absorb the woman's blood and feed it to the Gu worms in his body.

Although it was very cruel and excessive, he had to do it!

Otherwise, his man would be him. Even if he were to be reincarnated, when he reached the age of eighteen, the curse would still act up again. It would haunt him for all his life and for all eternity.

The imperial physicians and palace maids and eunuchs were told to get up. Only Wen Qing, Wen Xing, Mingyue, and the two imperial physicians were left in the dorm room. Everyone else had to leave and were not allowed to pile up in the chamber.

Dan Yu Wu took out a small porcelain bottle and passed it to Helian Lie, instructing him, "Take this and feed Cen Xue one every four hours. I believe that these pills can help her persevere until Elder Mu Yue and the rest arrive."

"Alright, one pellet in eight hours." Helian Shan took the porcelain bottle that she passed to him.

At this moment, Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Boyi walked in together. Helian Lie looked at them and a hint of hesitation immediately filled his eyes.

After all, Cen Xue drank the bird's nest which Xiao Ling'er sent to her before she was in trouble. The problem must be with the Yu Chun Palace!

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty …" The three of them said in unison.

However, Helian Lie turned around and returned to Cen Xue's side. He held her hand, and after a long while, he waved to them.

Xiao Ling`er knew that this kind of thing happened and she was at a loss of what to say. However, the poison really wasn't inflicted by her. No matter what, she had to come over and explain it to the king.

"Your Majesty, chenqie didn't poison you, chenqie really didn't …" Looking at the unconscious Cen Xue, she could feel the pain in the king's heart.

"Ling'er, you can go back. I know it's not you." Helian Shan was currently very agitated in his heart. He had already secretly sent the Azure Dragon to investigate.

The Xiao siblings wouldn't be so cruel and merciless, nor would they betray him, poisoning Imperial Concubine Huang. Although their documents clearly indicated that it was done by Xiao Ling'Er, and no matter what, as long as Imperial Concubine died, the successor would be hers.

However, the culprit had clearly forgotten that Xiao Ling'Er only had a few months left to live. Her natural disease had already pushed her to the brink of life.

"Your Majesty, thank you …" The Xiao siblings spoke in unison. They thought that the king would misunderstand, but who would have thought that the king would believe that they were innocent.

"Ling'er, tell me, is there anything different this morning from usual?" Helian Lie asked again, but his eyes never left Cen Xue's body.

Xiao Ling'Er glanced at her brother and shook her head, "In reply to the king, chenqie didn't find anything amiss. In the morning, the swallow nest has already started to stew, and after the stew was done, it was delivered by He Cai. That little girl said that nothing happened along the way and that the apricots were directly delivered to Imperial Consort after arriving at Xingqing Palace. Did she discover anything amiss?"

"No …" There must be a problem in the middle of it. If my guess is correct, someone must have done something to it while we were cooking in the kitchen! " Dan Yu's face was full of caution as she wiped it off.

Yu Wu's words made sense. Swallow's nest would usually be stewed in a small fire for two hours. With such a long period of time, the murderer must have taken advantage of when no one was around to make a move.

"This feather isn't something that can be easily obtained. There has never been such a thing in the palace. Could it be that it was given from outside the palace?" Yuwen Tuo thought back to the past several decades. In the battles of the harem, he rarely used poison, so he was certain that the east and west regions were part of the palace.

Helian Lie analyzed the most suspicious people in his mind, namely Yu Fei and Dong Mei …

Yu Fei came from a small and remote clan, so she should not know much about these things. However, since Dong Mei was born in a market, grew up in a dance hall, and met people of all colors, she was the most suspicious of them all!

He believed that she wouldn't be stupid enough to poison the bird's nest that he sent over. Furthermore, it was such a brilliant poison.

"Tuo, order the palace guards to search every palace one by one for feathers or something of the like. If they find anything else out of the ordinary, report it to them as well!" Helian Lie would never let go of the person who poisoned Cen Xue. He would definitely hack him into a thousand pieces.

"Understood …" Yuwen Tuo was just about to leave when Yiwu also followed, "Your Majesty, that Yu Wu will also leave now. Quickly return to the Immortal Mansion to prepare."

"Alright then … Go, all of you. Helian Shan was extremely upset, he only wanted to stay by Cen Xue's side.

It's all my fault for neglecting her so much that she was murdered … Damn it!

Who dared to disobey Helian Shan's orders? Yiyu Wu left Xing Qing Palace and went straight back to the palace. She wanted to use the Spirit Communication Technique to communicate with Elder Mu Yue for a thousand miles.

Yuwen Tuo, on the other hand, was in the palace's inescapable net. He had to find out who the poisoner was, and Xiao Boyi had to send Xiao Ling'Er back to the palace. After a long time of persuasion, she was willing to lie down and rest.

Time passed slowly, and the pill that Dan Yu Wu fed Cen Xue started to take effect. Cen Xue's body started to sweat and began to react. She fidgeted restlessly on the bed.

Seeing her reaction, Helian Lie immediately tightened his grip on her hand. "Xue'er, Xue'er, if you can hear me, then open your eyes and look at me."

Cen Xue slowly opened her eyes amidst the restlessness. When she saw Helian Lie holding her hand tightly, she forcefully blinked her eyes, thinking that she was seeing things.

"Li, is it really you?" His voice was hoarse and weak, and every word he spoke was extremely strenuous.

"It's me, don't be afraid. With me here, you'll be fine!" Helian Shan lowered his head and gently caressed her lips, allowing her to truly feel his existence.

"I thought that I was already dead, and that I would never be able to see you again … "I can't bear to part with you, so …" Cen Xue dragged her heavy body as she continued speaking.

"Idiot, didn't we agree to be together for all eternity? Have you forgotten that the oath has only been made a few months ago? " Helian Shan whispered deeply into her ear. He would never let Cen Xue leave him. Never!

"Cough, cough, cough …"

Cen Xue suddenly coughed violently, tightly grabbing Helian Shan's arm, her chest felt as if it was on fire. She wanted to answer Helian Shan's question, but the torment of her body made it difficult for her to speak.

"Puff …"

Cen Xue spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, sprinkling it all over the quilt, rendering it into a dazzling crimson colour.

Helian Lie's eyes widened as he stepped forward and embraced Cen Xue, who was still weak, and shouted loudly with all his might, "Xue'er … "Xue'er …"

Darkness struck once more and Cen Xue couldn't hear a single sound. Even though Helian Shan was furiously commanding her, she was still in a deep slumber.

Lying her flat on the bed, Helian Shan faced the sky and gave a long howl, "Where's the murderer? Where is the murderer? "I have to dismember his body into ten thousand pieces …"

His shout had alarmed the entire imperial harem. Now that everyone was in danger, they didn't even dare to take a deep breath. They were deeply afraid that their heads might immediately move.

In the Everlasting Mountain, Dan Yu Wu used the Spirit Communication Technique and Elder Mu Yue's Thousand Li Sound Transmission Technique to relay what had happened in the palace to the mountain. Mu Yue, knowing the severity of the situation, immediately rushed to the palace on horseback.

However, after the group of people left the Ghost Valley, he also left for a faraway place. He wanted to roam the four seas and become a carefree and unfettered monk.

I don't know where he is now, I can't find him at all!

At this time, Helian Lie had not ascended to court in three days and had handed the matters of the court to Xiao Boyi. He was guarding Cen Xue's bed almost every moment without taking off his clothes and personally taking care of her.

The pill that Yiyu Wu gave was quite effective as it suppressed the poison in Cen Xue's body. However, this was only temporary. As the days passed, the dosage increased day by day and the poison also showed signs of seeping out.

At this moment, Cen Xue's lips had turned from pale to purple, and her eyes were sunken in. Her face was also slightly green, showing signs of being poisoned.

Ever since she woke up that day, Cen Xue had been lying unconscious on her bed for the past three days.

"The Azure Dragon greets Your Majesty …" The Azure Dragon was in charge of secretly investigating this matter. It seemed like he had found some clues.

Helian Zhang stood up from the bed and walked over to him. With a sharp voice, he asked, "How was the investigation?"
