As expected of the man he had taught for many years, the conditions of the border area was not as rich as the capital. Yuwen Tai was worried that Yuwen Tong would not be able to bear the hardships, so he arranged for Yuwen Tuo to make the second choice.

"Your Royal Highness, you must think this through!" Yuwen Tai asked him again.

"The men are all determined to stay in the capital city. There's no use staying in the martial grounds, so I'll be going to Red Mountain City. General, you can give Brother Wang your answer now. I'm willing to be the city guard general!" After he finished speaking, Helian Jue knelt down on one knee to vote on his own determination.

"Dad, what about me?" Yuwen Tuo looked at his father. Then, where should he go?

He looked at the two of them and said, "Ta Er, you continue to stay by father's side to learn how to use troops. This time, the king of Red Mountain City will head to the city, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you are allowed to take the throne, you will not participate in any battles.

"This …"

Yuwen Tuo was also a man with ambition everywhere. Having lost this opportunity made him very depressed.

Helian Jue patted him on the shoulder, telling him to calm down. Who told him to stay in the palace all the time, so there were very few opportunities for him to go out to battle? But he was different.

"Alright, I'll let you show off your prowess this time!" Yuwen Tuo helplessly said.

"General, when can I leave?" Helian Jue couldn't wait to take office.

"What's the rush? When I report it to the king tomorrow, he will nod his head and issue an imperial decree. You can leave at any time." Yuwen Tai looked at him and said.

"Alright, then This King will await your good news." Helian Jue was already 90% sure that Brother Wang would agree to let him guard Red Mountain City.

After leaving the general's mansion, Helian Jue had been thinking about when Cen Xue would leave the palace. He was restricted by his royal brother from entering the palace, and even now, he still hadn't gotten rid of her. Even without the imperial edict, it would be inappropriate for him to visit her in the harem.

Riding on the horse, he unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Xiao Boyi's residence. He suddenly thought of a way to get Cen Xue out of the Xiao Residence and into the Xiao Residence as long as he waited for her there.

Soon enough, Yuwen Tai brought up the matter of the nominee to Helian Lie. When Helian Lie heard of General Yuwen's nominee, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, letting him guard Red Mountain City was a good decision. Firstly, he was of the royal family, and secondly, his younger brother. Secondly, this could also be considered as his selfish intent. As long as he decided to leave the capital, then Cen Xue would no longer have anything to do with him.

Once the imperial edict was given, Helian Jue decided to set off in five days. However, he had to see Cen Xue before he set off.

Xiao Boyi was entrusted with the task of using Ling'er's discomfort as an excuse. He asked Doctor Keser to visit the Xiao Residence and this news would naturally reach Cen Xue's ears. At that time, she would definitely accompany Doctor Keser to the Xiao Residence.

Sure enough, Cen Xue heard the sound of the wind and hurried to the Eternal Music Palace to find Doctor Keser. She saw him packing up his things and ran in to ask, "Doctor Keser, are you going to look for Ling'Er now?"

When Hei Shite saw that it was her, he nodded his head and replied, "Yes, just now, Lord Xiao came over and said that Miss Ling'Er's heart palpitated and her chest felt stuffy. Let me see what the symptoms are."

"Then I'll go with you?" Cen Xue was worried about Ling'Er as she would follow them no matter what.

"This... "You must speak to the King's Branch?" Korsor saw that she was always straightforward, and he was afraid that her temper would make the king angry.

"It doesn't matter, the king said that if I want to go out in the future, I don't need to report to him. Ling'er is still waiting for us, let's go quickly." Cen Xue's heart was filled with thoughts of Ling'er's body as she pulled Ke Er recklessly into the carriage.

The Vermillion Bird didn't even know that she was about to leave the palace. With Lan Qi'er by her side, they sat in Doctor Kesser's carriage and left the Black Tortoise Sect.

When the guard of the Black Tortoise Sect saw the Empress leave the palace, he immediately reported to the upper management. Helian Lie heard that she did not even bring the Vermillion Bird with her when she left the palace.

"Ling'er …" "Ling'er …" The moment Cen Xue got off the horse carriage, she followed the familiar route to Xiao Ling'Er's room in the backyard.

Opening the door, he saw Xiao Ling'Er lying on the bed in a very weak state. In fact, she hadn't slept last night, and in order to make her body look weak and able to fool Dr. Keser, she had spent the entire night embroidering. This way, she would look very weak and tired in the morning …

"How are you? Why do you look so terrible?" Cen Xue pushed the door open and entered, only to see her lying weakly on the bed. Wasn't she fine two days ago? It had only been a few days and she had become like this.

"Don't worry, just let me rest for a bit." Xiao Ling`er rested for a while in the morning and was finally able to recover. Seeing that she was here, it could be considered that she had helped the Prince.

Xiao Boyi followed closely behind him. Cen Xue gave way to let Doctor Kessler treat her. As someone standing by her side, it was hard to mention how worried she was.

"Young Master, there's a guest!" At this time, the butler suddenly appeared and whispered into Xiao Boyi's ear.

Although she spoke softly, Cen Xue and Doctor Kessler both heard her.

"Lord Xiao, please go and see which guest is it. I'll accompany Ling'Er here." Cen Xue looked just like Xiao Ling'Er's elder sister, always thinking of her in advance.

Perhaps it was because she was afraid that the historical scene would appear before her eyes once again. She was afraid that Ling'er would silently lie motionless on the bed. Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but worry for Ling'er …

"Thank you, esteemed mistress, and Dr. Keser for your help." Xiao Boyi followed the butler and left. In fact, he already knew why they had come.

Cen Xue trembled with fear as she accompanied Ling'Er. From time to time, she would look at Dr. Keser and ask, "How is it, is Ling'Er alright?"

"It's alright, don't worry esteemed wangfei, as long as you rest well you'll be fine. During this period of time, you must not work too hard, as long as you recuperate and recuperate well you'll be fine. This old man will open a prescription for you, remember to rest more." Heather repeated this to her several times.

"Yes, Ling Er understands …" Cen Xue only felt relieved when she heard that Doctor Keser had said that everything was fine.

When she walked in alone, she saw Cen Xue sitting on the bedside. There was also Dr. Keser, who was busy writing down the prescription, asking, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

Cen Xue turned around and saw that it was actually Yu Wu. Seeing her, Xiao Ling'Er felt warm inside. She could finally help them out a little.

"So the esteemed guest is you?" He happily looked at her. He didn't expect that Yu Wu would also come to this place.

"We heard that Ling'er is sick, so we came to take a look." Yiyu Wu walked to the bedside and looked at the pale-faced Xiao Ling'Er. This time, it was really hard for her.

Heather and Dancing Single Feather were not strangers, so he waved to her to let them talk. Don't worry about him, he still needed to write a prescription.

Cen Xue had clearly heard what she said just now. It seemed like Yu Wu wasn't the only one who had come; Yuwen Tuo was definitely accompanying her.

"It seems like you guys really are inseparable." Cen Xue and Xiao Ling'er covered their faces as they laughed softly.

"You two, you can't make fun of others like this!" Every time she mentioned her relationship with Tuo, she would blush, appearing as embarrassed as a girl.

Heather wrote down the prescription and looked at the three of them. It seemed that their friendship was pretty good!

"You guys don't need to talk for too long. She still needs to rest, do you understand?" Heather looked at them benevolently, then left the room with her medicine chest.

It was only after Dr Keser had left that Dan Yu Wu dared to tell Cen Xue her purpose for coming today.

"Ling'Er, rest well. It's all thanks to you this time. Cen Xue, come out with me." As Dan Yu Wu spoke softly to Xiao Ling'Er, she dragged Cen Xue out of the room.

Xiao Ling'Er had not rested for the entire night and was indeed very tired. After she watched them leave, she could finally rest in peace.

Dan Yu Wu pulled her to the door of Uncle Xiao's study. Cen Xue didn't know what she was doing, so she asked doubtfully, "Yu Wu, where are you bringing me to?"

"We're here. You'll know when you get in." Pushing the door open, he directly pushed Cen Xue in.

"Sigh …"

Cen Xue was baffled. She did not know what kind of tricks they were up to, or what kind of secrets they were playing.

"Cen Xue …" A familiar voice rang out from behind her. Cen Xue stood dumbly on the spot as she thought in her heart, It can't be?

Turning around, the man that caught their eyes was indeed his' Helian Tactic '. Why were they trying so hard to cause such a ruckus?

"Your Highness, how could it be you? When all of you come together, is there anything special about it? " Cen Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong with Ling'Er's condition. Doctor Keser was unable to find out the cause of Ling'Er's unwell condition and only wanted her to rest more.

Could it be Ling'er?

"It's this king. Everything is this king's intention. The purpose of making Lord Xiao's family act together is only to lure you out of the palace." Helian never wanted to be busy with her and tell her his plans.

Cen Xue didn't understand why he was doing this. Could it be that he wanted to …

"My prince, Cen Xue is already my king's woman. I hope you can behave yourself!" Cen Xue lowered her head, hoping that he could clearly see each other's identities.

In fact, he should have called her "Aunt Wang".

"You misunderstand. I have already lured you out of the palace today, but I just wanted to see you one last time because in a few days, the King of Japan will be rushing to the border city of the Red Mountain to take up the post of the city guard general. So after today, I don't know when I will have the chance to see you again." Helian Jue looked at the face that he had longed for day and night. The shortest would be a year and a half, and the longest would be three to five years.

"General, why haven't I heard of it? Are we really leaving in a few days?" Seeing that he was really going to leave, Cen Xue was a little reluctant in her heart.

Back then, if he hadn't found her in the desolate mountain, if he hadn't brought her back to the army camp and even back to the capital, she wouldn't have had the chance to reunite with him. He was the one who had taken advantage of her feelings and offended her. Now that he was sent to defend the city, Cen Xue felt that it was all because of her that he had been demoted!

"So the general who guarded the city has passed away. The Red Mountain City's border fortress is Lou Lan's most important border fortress. We absolutely cannot afford to lose, so Brother Wang ordered me to set out on my mission." Helian Jue approached her step by step. When he arrived in front of her, he lowered his head and smelled the unique and elegant fragrance exuding from her body.
