On the second day, the moment Luo Xue opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yin standing in front of her bed.
"Empress Dowager, you're awake." Xiao Yin bowed to Luo Xue.
"Xiao Yin, is it really you? "You're back?" When she saw Xiao Yin, Luo Xue became inexplicably excited. She thought back to her first days in the Imperial Palace, and exactly because she was by Xiao Yin's side, she was not so lonely, which was why she was able to escape the palace alive.
"Yes, the emperor said that the Empress has returned and sent a servant back to serve the Empress." Xiao Yin smiled. All this while, she had always felt too much guilt towards Luo Xue. Back then, Luo Xue had truly treated her with sincerity, but she had actually betrayed her.
"Xiao Yin, thank you. To her, even if there were more female servants in the palace, she would still not be as good as Xiao Yin. Although Xiao Yin was a fox spirit, making her a female servant felt a little wronged.
"It is Xiao Yin's fortune to be able to serve the Empress." Xiao Yin's eyes were also wet, and her pair of purple eyes were especially moving.
When Xiao Yin came over, Luo Xue mentioned to Helian Yichen that the two of them were going to the Devil Palace, but Helian Yichen merely said that they were going to wait until Jiu Yu appeared.
"Xue Er, I am relieved to see that you're doing very well." Jiu Yu had directly arrived at the Imperial Palace without any communication, so the first person he saw was Luo Xue.
"Jiu Yu, how have you been?" Facing Jiu Yu, Luo Xue was truly unable to have a good face. When she thought about what had happened to her and her son, she simply could not forgive him.
"Yes, I have already negotiated with Heaven Realm, there are no problems with him, and we are only waiting for Yan Kai's side, is second young brother not in the palace?" Jiu Yu naturally knew that Luo Xue had prejudice against him, but now that he had changed his mind, there was nothing left to fuss about.
"He went out. As for Yan Kai, if you're really sincere, come with us to the Devil Palace." Luo Xue looked at Jiu Yu and suddenly had an idea.
Since Helian Yichen didn't want to go, then Jiu Yu could also send them there. Moreover, Xiao Yin was still around, so there shouldn't be a problem to go to the Devil Palace.
"This... Xue Er, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that the people of Devil Palace are prejudiced against me. If I go, everyone will become unhappy, but second young brother is different, at least your son is still there, and he has a good relationship with Yan Kai. " Jiu Yu laughed awkwardly.
It was impossible for him to go to the Devil Palace. Back then, the elites of the Nevernever had all died outside the Devil Palace, so who would dare to go?
"Jiu Yu, how about this, Xi Chen is extremely busy, send Xiao Yin and I out of Devil Palace." Luo Xue looked at Jiu Yu, and said again.
"That's fine, but..." second young brother, would he agree? " Jiu Yu didn't object, it was just that Helian Yichen, that Cu Du would agree to it?
One must know that Yan Kai's feelings for Xue Er was extraordinary. The look in his eyes when he looked at Xue Er was even more passionate than Helian Yichen's.
"He will. Why don't you stay and eat? When Xi Chen comes back, I've already told him about this, so we'll set off." Luo Xue had originally wanted to leave like this, but after thinking about how Helian Yichen already seemed a little unhappy, she decided to wait for him to return and let her know.
When Helian Yichen returned, he was initially unhappy, but after hearing that Jiu Yu was willing to accompany him, he agreed.
"Jiu Yu, I will call you big brother, and you should do your duty as big brother. I will leave Xue Er to you. Helian Yichen said to Jiu Yu in private.
"Why, is second young brother still worried? If that's the case, why didn't second young brother go personally? " Jiu Yu said with a smile.
"If you still want me to call you big brother, don't waste your breath. I will hand Xue Er over to you, you must bring him back." Helian Yichen said with a gloomy face.
"Alright, I originally did not plan to go to Devil Palace. However, on account of you calling me big brother, I will make a trip for you." Jiu Yu actually nodded his head. He didn't know if Jiu Yu had really changed, or if he had taken the wrong medicine.
"Don't be so cheap and buy good stuff." Helian Yichen said without giving any face.
If not for the change in him, he wouldn't have recognized Jiu Yu as his big brother. Furthermore, their goal now was the peace agreement, if everyone could co-exist peacefully, then the grievances of that person wouldn't even be worth mentioning.
That night, Jiu Yu stayed in the Imperial Palace all the way until night. Originally, he wanted to leave during the day, but Luo Xue was his son so they set off that night.
Jiu Yu used a spell to bring them out of Devil Palace.
"Honestly speaking, I don't really want to go in. Xue Er, how about I wait for you outside?" Jiu Yu looked at the entrance of the Devil Palace, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. They had suffered heavy losses last time here, and if they went in now, they would inevitably be ridiculed by the people of the Devil Palace.
Jiu Yu, don't you think that Yan Kai is more humane than you? With Jiu Yu, the king of the Nevernever, here, it would be easier to talk about peace. Otherwise, she would really be embarrassed to mention it to Yan Kai.
"Mother, did you come to see me?" Jiu Yu and Luo Xue were still pulling on one side, but Luo Han had already come out.
"Han Er, how did you know mother was coming?" Seeing her son, Luo Xue immediately flew over and hugged her son tightly.
"royal father told me. Mother, let's quickly go in. The royal father is waiting for you." If Han Ruoxi held Luo Xue's hand, he would not be unaccustomed to being in Devil Palace for the past few days. He would be even more happy to see his mother.
"Snow, long time no see. Seeing that you look not bad, I feel relieved." Inside the Demon King's Hall, Yan Kai stood up to welcome Luo Xue. Seeing Luo Xue's ruddy face, he felt much better, but he still couldn't let go of her feelings.
Yes, everyday I eat, sleep, sleep and eat till I get moldy. Yan Kai, thank you for taking care of Han Er. " Luo Xue nodded. To think that meeting Yan Kai again was very uncomfortable, perhaps because they had separated for too long, and it was likely that they would never be able to return to the friendship of the modern era.
"Yan Kai, long time no see." Jiu Yu saw that he had been completely ignored, and seemed to not want to accept the fact, so he took the initiative and said it.
"Jiu Yu, what are you doing here?" Yan Kai did not answer, and instead said with intense displeasure.
"Of course it's to send Xue Er over, but there's another thing. Me, Helian Yichen, and the one from Heaven Realm, we've decided to sign a contract to settle this with you, and now only your Devil Realm is left." Jiu Yu said first.
Jiu Yu, my Devil Palace has always been excluded from your Three Realms. Why are you asking for trouble? Yan Kai said with an expressionless face.
"Yan Kai, after staying in the modern world for so long, haven't you learned anything? Although we belong to different races, none of us likes to fight, fight, and sign peace agreements with each other, so there's nothing bad about it. "
Jiu Yu told Yan Kai in a serious tone.
In the modern world, your Nevernever has suffered quite a bit. Of course, you do not wish for there to be a war again, but don't forget, the humiliation of three thousand years still exists. Luo Xue wanted to say something but Yan Kai reached out a hand to stop her.
He did not even think about signing the peace agreement, but only wanted revenge, and did not think about it anymore. The reason why he brought it up, was because he did not want Jiu Yu to be so proud, but wanted to give him some pressure.
"Yan Kai, don't think that no matter how strong you are, you are only one person. But, if our Nevernever, our Human Realm, and our Heaven Realm join hands, what do you think?"
"Jiu Yu, don't say anymore, I came to see Han Er today, not to quarrel with him." Luo Xue yelled at Jiu Yu.
She was very clear of Yan Kai's temper, if she had to force things, he would never agree to sign the contract. She only wanted to persuade him with good words, but she was now a little regretful that she had brought Jiu Yu here.
"Lie, bring Jiu Yu to walk around and let him see our Devil Palace's forces. Xue Er, it's been a long time since you last came back. Yan Kai actually didn't reject it, he also didn't want to fight, but he didn't want to take advantage of Jiu Yu, so he first extended him a little before deciding anything.
"That's right, Mother. Did you come to stay for a while longer this time? Han Er misses you." Ruo Han begged as she followed behind Yan Kai and Luo Xue.
"Alright, your father is very busy right now, I will stay here for a few more days. When your mother gives birth, you and your royal father can go to the palace again, alright?" Luo Xue held her son's hand and nodded.
Although Luo Xue had said that he would be staying for a few more days, Helian Yichen was still worried. The Helian Yichen who could not hold back any longer, had finally arrived on the tenth day of his journey to Devil Palace.
"Yan Kai, long time no see." Helian Yichen was different from Jiu Yu, he did not come empty-handed this time. He had always remembered the wine that he owed Yan Kai.
"That's right, long time no see. It looks like you can get used to it after coming back."
Seeing that Helian Yichen was in high spirits, Yan Kai said indifferently.
"Yeah, after coming back from the modern era, I had a lot of feelings about it. That's why I'm carrying out some big reforms, so the results are quite good." Helian Yichen nodded.
"That's not bad, looks like you still remember what we said. Since you came to my Devil Palace, then we will get drunk tonight." Yan Kai looked at the wine that Helian Yichen had brought in, and his face finally had a smile.
At the wine table, the two avoided talking about Luo Xue and also didn't talk about signing a contract. However, when they were almost drunk, Luo Xue came.
"Xi Chen, Yan Kai, even if you hadn't seen each other for a long time, you shouldn't have drank so much." Luo Xue helplessly said as she looked at the two of them getting drunk.
"Xue Er, you should know yourself well when we're drinking, but I don't know when you'll meet Brother Yan Kai again. This time, you must drink until you're drunk." Helian Yichen waved the wine jar in his hand.
"Alright, it's a deal. As long as you can let me have a drink and get drunk, I will sign the peace agreement." Yan Kai lifted the jar and challenged Yan Kai.
"Alright, it's a deal, let's do it." Hearing that Yan Kai took the initiative to sign a peace agreement, Helian Yichen became even more excited and the two of them started drinking again.
"Xiao Xue, you should rest first. I think Wang and Helian Yichen will be drinking until daybreak tonight." Lie advised Luo Xue from the side.
"Sigh, man, I can never figure out what they are thinking about. Since that's the case, then I'll leave it to you, I'll go accompany Han Er." Luo Xue shook her head. Looking at the two men in front of her, she decided to leave. It was better to let the man settle his own matters.
