Drops of sparkling tears dripped onto the crystal coffin. As the saying goes, "A man doesn't shed tears easily." He Lianshan was the majestic monarch of a nation. A tough man who could prop up the heavens and prop up the earth, yet now, he was secretly grieving over a woman.

In his eyes, Cen Xue was still quietly sleeping within the crystal coffin. She was still so beautiful, still able to attract him, in his heart, no matter how she changed in the future, she was still the fairy in the lake whom he had seen the other day.

"Xue'er, you were wrong. I didn't cherish you. Everything was my fault. Every time, I would only know how to cherish my regret after losing you. However, everything is too late. I let you down. I deserve to die …" Clenching his fists, he hated himself for making the same mistake every time.

The Heavens are fair, one thing I won't give you many chances. Last time he understood, the Heavens gave him a chance, but what did he do this time?

The mistake he made this time, was something he could not even forgive himself. It was his distrust that caused Cen Xue's death. He was also an indirect murderer, as well as his unborn child …

Xue'er … Xue'er …

In the ice room, he shouted Cen Xue's name again and again, but what could he do about it? No matter how much he yelled, Cen Xue wouldn't be able to come back.

What was left for him was only endless pain, endless longing, day and night …

"Boom …" Cen Xue suddenly woke up from her dream and sat up with a head full of sweat.

She had just had a dream. The pain in her dream was indescribable. Looking at his distorted face, her heart ached …

The door was pushed open hastily from the outside, and when Bai Lu heard her shout, she hurriedly rushed in: "Miss, are you alright? I just heard you shout. "

Bai Lu's figure appeared beside the bed. With her here, Cen Xue's heart calmed down a little. That was just a dream, a dream.

"I'm fine. Did my shouts disturb you?" It was now the middle of the night. Her shout would probably wake everyone up.

"It's fine. My room is the closest to yours. I can hear all the sounds coming from your room more clearly." White Dew brought her a handkerchief, and looked at her forehead, which was covered with a thin sheen of sweat. It must have been a nightmare.

"Actually, I'm fine as well. It's just that I was dreaming of some sad things. I'm fine. You should go back and sleep early." She was already very embarrassed that she had disturbed him in the middle of the night.

"Since you're already awake, how about I have a chat with you?" Bai Lu sat by the bedside. Actually, she was very interested in Cen Xue's matter. It was just that her master had told them not to ask too many questions, and her information was not something the four of them should know.

Bai Lu was a teenage girl. Cen Xue looked at her and thought back to her age and how life was like a dream. No one would have thought that she would have such a unique opportunity and how she would end up like this.

"Alright, you should lie down as well." Cen Xue moved into the bed for Bai Lu to lie down with her.

Bai Lu nodded and happily lay down with her.

"Miss, being with you, I am always especially happy, because I was an orphan and grew up by myself, so I rarely had friends by my side. Although I came to the Everlasting Mountain with Master and had the concern of Master, the feeling when I was with you is different, you are just like my sister, able to chat about things with you." Bai Lu tilted her head and a faint blush appeared on her face.

"Really? Then call me Big Sis from now on. Don't call me Miss, it's strange." Cen Xue also especially liked Bai Lu.

Ever since she had arrived here, Bai Lu had been taking care of her. This girl looked to be around Lan Qi'er's age, just like her own Lan Qi'er.

As she suddenly thought of Lan Qi'er, tears welled up in Cen Xue's eyes for some inexplicable reason. Her Lan Qi'er, poor Lan Qi'er …

"Ah! Elder sister, what happened to you? Why are you crying?" What he said just now was right, this would scare Bai Lu to death.

"It's fine, I was only thinking of Lan Qi'er, let me …" Cen Xue couldn't control the pain in her heart. If Lan Qi'er hadn't done it for her, he wouldn't have burned to death in her place.

"Lan Qi'er?" Who is she? Is she my sister too? " Bai Lu asked curiously.

Cen Xue nodded. She had kept Lan Qi'er's matter in her heart for too long. It might make her feel better if she spoke of it.

Strictly speaking, Lan Qi'er is my servant, but she's also like my own sister. She thinks for me everywhere, and if it wasn't to save me this time, she wouldn't have lost her life. Cen Xue excitedly pulled at Bai Lu's hand. In that instant, it was as if she had turned Bai Lu into Lan Qi'er.

So that's how it is, Bai Lu nodded. Lan Qi'er had already passed away …

"Elder sister, you must believe in a good person. Although Lan Qi'er has already left, she is a good person. The King of Hell will not make things difficult for her. He will definitely arrange for a good family to be reincarnated in his next life." White Dew took her hand back, hoping her own warmth would warm her broken heart.

"Yes, my Lan Qi'er is a good girl. With good rewards for good people, Lan Qi'er will definitely be happy in his next life …" Wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, she silently prayed for Lan Qi'er.

The two of them chatted like this for the whole night, until the sky turned bright. They still did not see the two of them come out, and Ghost Valley was puzzled. Bai Lu had never been like this. What was going on today?

"Zhu Luo, why don't you go check on your senior sister? Miss Lin, it's almost the third day of the competition, why haven't you seen her? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" The Ghost Valley had promised Mu Yue that they would take care of Cen Xue properly. If something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"Yes, Master." He dropped what he was doing and went straight to the backyard.

Once Ghost Hollow knew about Cen Xue's situation, it put her in a difficult position. She wondered if Elder Mu Yue had already rushed to Lou Lan's palace. I wonder what Black Wood Zana will do?

There were many dangers lurking in the palace. The queen staying with him to nurture the fetus was the most suitable and safest option.

"Old mister, master …" Not long after Zhu Luo left, Bai Lu supported Cen Xue into the hall.

Seeing the hazy expressions on their faces, it was likely that they had chatted until very late last night before falling asleep. He helplessly shook his head and went up to remind them, "Little girl, you're still in your sixth rank, you can't stay up all night without sleeping. This is not good for children."

"Yes, Cen Xue knows. I will be more careful in the future." They nodded obediently. They had talked until the latter half of the night last night before falling asleep, only then would they be unable to get out of bed today.

She carefully checked her pulse to make sure the child was safe before letting them go.

"Go eat something. If you're tired today, go back to your room and rest."

"Yes …"

Cen Xue was doing well at Everlasting Mountain. Old mister Ghost Valley and his four disciples were getting along very well with her. Occasionally, Phoenix would come over to accompany her.

Occasionally, in her dreams, she would dream about that face full of pain. She didn't know how he was right now, but that was the thing that worried her the most.

On the way, Mu Yue encountered Helian Jue who was rushing back to the palace. After Helian Jue received the secret letter from the palace, he immediately rushed back to the capital!

"Your Majesty, Elder Mu Yue and the Third Marquis have arrived." Zhao Changde suppressed his voice to an extremely low pitch, deeply afraid that he would disturb the king.

After the Black Wood Zana had fled a few days ago, the king had stayed in the ice room for a day and a night, not caring about the matters within the imperial court anymore. The old prime minister and Doctor Xiao had taken care of all the responsibilities, and the king's temper had become even more violent than before.

"Let them in." Helian Shan's eyes were tightly shut. His life without Cen Xue was in such pain.

"Understood …" Zhao Chang De was doing things according to the rules, so he did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

Outside the door, Helian Jue's brows were knitted tightly as he walked back to the capital from Red Mountain City. He hated the man inside. Since he had Cen Xue, why wasn't he treating her wholeheartedly? Why did he still hurt her time and time again, and even let her lose her life?!

"Prince, Elder Mu Yue, both of you, please come in." Zhao Chengde opened the main door of the Imperial study and invited them in.

The expression on Helian Jue's face didn't look any better. Even if he was beheaded today, he must still give that man a good beating.

"Hmph …" With a cold snort, Helian Jue took the lead and charged into the palace.

"Prince …" He had already informed her of his thoughts. In order to prevent him from doing something foolish, Mu Yue wanted to pull him back, but he walked in too quickly, so Mu Yue was unable to stop his footsteps. She could only quickly follow behind him and enter.

Although Cen Xue's corpse could not be stored in the ice storage for a long period of time, it could only be preserved for a short period of time. However, if it was kept there for a long time, the corpse would turn black, and there was also a saying, "After a person dies, they must bury their body in the ground to make peace", which Helian Shan naturally hoped Cen Xue would be able to rest in peace.

Helian Jue rushed into the Imperial Study in a rage. Seeing the decadent man sitting on the Dragon Throne, Helian Jue's heart tightened. He wished that he could pull out his treasured sword and stab that man to death, but he was his own brother.

Seeing his brother's figure, Helian Shan got up from the Dragon Throne and walked towards him. Seeing him clench his fists, it was as if he could already read his mind at this very moment.

"Jue, you're finally back." Helian Lie expressionlessly walked towards him and said the most ordinary of courteous words.

He clenched his fists tightly and let out creaking sounds. Even if he couldn't kill this man, at the very least, he could still ruthlessly beat him up, waking this man who didn't know how to cherish his life. This made this man, who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, clearly see the reality in front of his eyes!

When the two were still a step away from each other, Helian Jue finally couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart and swung his fist towards Helian Lie. Helian Lie had long since seen through his actions, but he didn't dodge, and willingly let his younger brother's fist strike his face …
