When Shan Yuwu returned home, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to Wuji Mountain as quickly as possible. Then he discussed what happened in the palace with Yuwentai, hoping to get his help.
But in Xianju Palace, Zana learned that she was almost successful today, but was ruined by Shan Yuwu. A burst of resentment burst out in her eyes, and she actually ignored that woman.
Cen Xue followed Zhuque to the so-called Leng Palace, a dilapidated and remote palace. The yard was overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, but it was not surprising that no one came here.
If it weren’t for the demoted concubine, who would be willing to come to this place?
"Your Majesty, Zhuque will have people tidy up this place. You will stay here temporarily during this period. Suzaku will personally deliver the daily meals, and there will be people guarding the door. If anything happens, just shout loudly.
"Zhuque has been following her for a long time, and she has a clear idea of the queen's temperament, and she absolutely believes that the queen is not that kind of person.
"Thank you, Suzaku. I didn't expect that you could still treat me like this at this time." Cen Xue thanked her from the bottom of her heart. She knew that if she hadn't let Yu Wu break in on purpose, with Yu Wu's thin body,
How could it possibly be possible for her to pass that test?
"Queen, don't think too much. Everyone in the palace knows how the king feels about you. I think it won't be long before the king will come back to take you back to the palace. Madam Yuwen has also gone back to find a solution, so you can rest assured.
"Suzaku persuaded her.
"Well, for the sake of my children, I will persist until the last moment, don't worry." Cen Xue nodded, feeling vaguely troubled in her heart.
Why can both Yu Wu and Suzaku believe in her, but why doesn't he believe in herself? Is God joking with her again? If so, isn't the joke too big?
"Then Zhuque will take his leave first." After saying this, Zhuque turned and left, leaving Cen Xue alone in this huge and lonely palace.
Night fell quietly, and Helianzhi was alone in the imperial study, drinking wine, thinking about how she would live alone in the cold palace, would she be afraid?
The words of the old imperial doctor have been echoing in his mind. Maybe this is not a solution. If the result of verification is not his heir, he will go on a killing spree, but if he wrongly blames Cen Xue,
This may also give the two of them a glimmer of hope to start over.
Thinking about it, this is indeed the only way now...
Putting down the wine in his hand, he went to see Cen Xue and tell her his thoughts.
He hurriedly left the Imperial Study Room, not wanting to waste any more time. He tiptoed to the ground, jumped up, and disappeared into the night in the next moment.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Several guards guarding the door saluted immediately when they saw that the person coming was the King.
"Open the door—" Helianzhi ordered.
The guard did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately opened the heavy door of Leng Palace.
Helianzhi strode in. Cen Xue, who was sitting in the cold hall, clearly heard the footsteps that belonged to him. It was so familiar, yet so strange. There was no expression on his face. He sat on a table.
Sit on the chair, close your eyes, and maintain the same posture.
When Helianzhi stepped into the dilapidated hall, it was dark all around. Only a weak candle illuminated the huge hall. His Cen Xue just sat on the chair quietly, as if in deathly silence.
at every turn.
He couldn't stand it anymore. In just a few hours, she had become so haggard, and the heartache spread through his blood.
He Lianzhi walked forward quickly and rubbed her cold face roughly with his big hands. Was she making a silent protest? Why didn't she look at him?
"Xue'er..." murmured. He didn't know how to treat her. His anger had faded a lot by destroying the Eight Immortals Table. After all, he still couldn't let her go. He was becoming more and more reluctant to let her go. Ever since her disfigurement, he
He just felt sorry for her and kept blaming himself for not protecting her well and being injured like that under his wings.
"When the child is here, I am here. When the child is gone, I am dead..." Feeling his touch, she silently repeated these words.
Although she wanted to get closer to his warm embrace, his cruelty was still vivid in her mind. Cen Xue spoke lightly, as if gibbering, but extremely firm.
"The old imperial doctor said that after the child is born, you can do a blood test to know whether it is the orphan's flesh and blood. Do you dare? If not, the child, Tenge, and the entire Tuva tribe will be destroyed.
Even so, do you still want this child?" He Lianzhi said calmly, still stroking her face gently with his big hand.
"The child is yours. The test is the same a hundred times. I have a clear conscience." Finally opening her eyes, Cen Xue stared at him with eyes red and swollen from crying, saying that she was extremely aggrieved.
"Okay... I'll just trust you once..." He couldn't hold back anymore and took her into his arms. Helianzhi told himself that he didn't really forgive her, but he just didn't want to kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands, so he just let it go.
Wait a few months.
If it turns out that the child is not his, he will never be soft-hearted again. He will personally kill that scoundrel and Tenge, and then destroy the entire Tuva tribe!
"I, Lin Cenxue, can swear to God that I really have not betrayed you. Really, if I told half a lie today, then I would rather suffer the pain of being struck by five thunders, fall into the Abi Hell after death, and never be reincarnated forever!
"Now that he has taken a step back, Cen Xue also sees a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"That's enough, there's no need to talk anymore. Once the child is born, everything will be revealed!" Helianzhi stopped her. He just wanted to hold her quietly for a while, just for a while...
During the long night, Helianzhi did not leave. He stayed with her in the cold palace until dawn!
"Bastard - now that you are in the cold palace, how can you have any affection for her anymore? It seems that she has to use that method." Zana's eyes flashed with red sparks when she learned that the king was actually accompanying her in the cold palace.
After spending the whole night with that woman, her anger could not be calmed down.
After untying the veil on her face, her original ferocious cheeks had now recovered to 90% of their original appearance, but some traces of the past could still be seen. She needed time, needed time, and could not reveal even half of her unbearable condition in the eyes of the king.
Opening the drawer of the dresser, there were bottles of black porcelain bottles inside, all of the same color, except for the stoppers that plugged the mouths of the bottles. Zana relied on the colors of these stoppers to distinguish the efficacy of the medicine.
She took out a porcelain bottle with a red stopper and held it in her hand. She had not put this thing to use for a long, long time. It seemed that she had to rely on it this time.
Looking at this small porcelain bottle, Zana showed a proud smile. This was the Putuo pollen she had carefully prepared and refined, and she also applied a little magic power. As long as a person eats a little bit, he will gradually lose his mind.
, and soon he will lose himself and completely obey the command of the person who drugged him.
"Hahaha..." Zana looked at herself in the mirror and laughed proudly. As long as the king takes this powder for six consecutive days, soon, the king will only listen to her words. By that time,
Is she still afraid that the king will not love her?
In the Xingqing Palace, Lan Qier watched her master being taken away yesterday, but was unable to stop it. She went to the Cold Palace many times, but there were guards taking turns to guard the door outside, and she was not allowed in at all.
"Guard Suzaku, please think of a way for me to see the master. How about letting me bring some food and a change of clothes to the master?" Lan Qier thought for a long time, and only Suzaku could help her.
"This..." Zhuque looked at her with embarrassment in his eyes: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the king gave an order yesterday that no one is allowed to go in to see the empress. There is nothing I can do. How about you see this?
, if you have anything to bring to the empress, just give it to me, and I will take it in and give it to the empress."
Zhuque's words made Lan Qier feel disappointed for a while, but the king's oral instructions were left there, and she could understand her dilemma.
He handed her the food box and a baggage he was carrying, and said gratefully: "Guard Zhuque, here are the meals and pastries I made for the master with my own hands. In the baggage is a change of clothes and the fox that the master likes best.
Cloak, although it is already spring, it is still quite cold at night, please send them to the master."
Suzaku took it in his hand and nodded to reassure her: "Leave it to me. I will take it over and deliver it to the empress now."
Lan Qier was moved for a moment. Fortunately, the Suzaku guard could help. Otherwise, how would the master live in the cold palace?
On the other side, Yu Wentai and Shan Xiong did not leave the palace after going to court, but went straight to the imperial study. The purpose was very simple, they were there for Cen Xue's affairs.
There was a debate in the royal study room. Zhao Changde did not dare to take a step outside the door. Zana happened to come over with a porcelain cup in her hand: "Eunuch Zhao, why are you standing outside? Why are you not waiting on the king inside?"
Zhao Changde smiled politely at her, then frowned and said, "The old prime minister and General Yuwen are both inside. It would not be appropriate for the old slave to be inside."
"Oh..." Zana responded softly. She had already guessed why the two old guys came.
Shan Yuwu ruined her big event yesterday. She must have explained to those two old guys after she went back that she would come to the palace today to force the king. If she calculated correctly, Yuwen Tuo and others would definitely be there too.
Returning to the capital within half a month, it seems that her actions must be accelerated.
"High Priest, what is this in your hand?" Zhao Changde asked curiously.
Zana was asked by him and then she came back to her senses: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just the Qingxin tea I made. I usually drink some when I feel unhappy. Recently, I saw the king is so upset.
I just wanted to brew some and send it to the king."
After hearing this, Zhao Changde nodded and took out a silver needle from his sleeve at some point. The meaning was clear, everything brought to the king for food must be inspected to prevent it from being poisonous.
Zana naturally understood what he was going to do, so she took the initiative to open the lid and let him test who she was, Zana. How could she be caught by these stupid people? That would be too much to underestimate her.
Zhao Changde inserted one end of the silver needle into the tea cup and took it out after a while. The silver needle was unchanged from before. Only then did he dare to give it to the king. If he hadn't been so careful, he wouldn't have had enough heads to cut off.
