Luo Xue and Lord Situ followed behind the young eunuch. They walked on the familiar blue stone bricks and looked at the once familiar scene. Their originally calm heart suddenly dropped back into the ice cave.

"Eunuch Li, may I ask where is the emperor?" Lord Situ couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw that they weren't headed for the Dragon Laying Hall but the harem.

"Cough, Old Master Situ, this is the first time you've entered the palace." The eunuch reminded.

"Eunuch is right." Lord Situ was a bit embarrassed and coughed to cover it up.

From beginning to end, Luo Xue was silent. She warned herself that when she saw Helian Xi Chen, she must remain calm. No matter what, she must not be impulsive. At the same time, he wondered how Helian Yi Chen would react when he saw her. Was it joy? Was it anger? Or guilt?

"Phoenix Cry Palace?" Luo Xue foolishly looked at the three words Phoenix Cry Palace. She actually couldn't move a single step.

"Eunuch, did the Emperor ask you to bring us to Phoenix Cry Palace?" Why? Why Phoenix Cry Palace? Did he already know?

"Miss, this is the emperor's orders. Please don't ask too much. The two of you should wait inside. The emperor will arrive soon." Her father-in-law was much more polite to Luo Xue. However, when Luo Xue looked at Phoenix Cry Palace, she could still vividly remember everything that happened in the past. It was as if a root had sprouted beneath her feet; she could not lift it up no matter what.

"Daughter, what's wrong?" When Lord Situ arrived at the gates of Phoenix Cry Palace, he realized that Luo Xue hadn't followed him.

"Father, I …" Can we go home? " Luo Xue's heart trembled. She thought, Helian Yi must have known. Otherwise, why would he let them come to Phoenix Cry Palace? After all, he was not an ordinary person.

Then why did he want them to come to Phoenix Cry Palace? Was it to imply that she should confess by herself? Or should he remind her to stop offending Long Yan?

"Young lady, please. The Emperor is busy in the previous dynasty, so the two of you should rest here for a bit." While Luo Xue was in a dilemma, Lian Hai came. Moreover, when he walked to his side, he very naturally supported his, but even though they were the same face, this time he was called Miss Luo Xue, as if he didn't know his.

Luo Xue's heart was in turmoil. She couldn't help but be puzzled, could it be that her appearance had changed so much in a year? Why didn't the Situ Family say they didn't know each other after two years? Could it be that this was just a test from Helian Xi?

Regardless of which it was, the person was already here. There was no way out.

"Old Master Situ, Miss Situ, please wait here for a moment. This servant will report back to the imperial court first." Lian Hai brought the two into Phoenix Cry Palace and instructed the eunuchs and maids to wait upon them. He himself, on the other hand, was in a hurry to return and report this.

If not, he would have been scared to death. He had clearly seen the Empress die last year, but now, she was standing here by herself. If he saw her at night, even Hai Tie would think that it was the Queen's vengeful spirit that had come to take her life. But what was going on? It was scary.

Once they left Phoenix Cry Palace, Lian Hai madly rushed back to Dragon Xiang Hall.

When Helian Yi Chen, who was within the hall, heard Lian Hai's panicked footsteps, he immediately understood. It seemed like his guess was correct. However, why did Yan Qing not report this to him?

"Huang …" Your Majesty, the Empress … The Empress then … "He's back again …" Lian Hai tripped on the doorstep of the palace gate and fell directly into the palace hall.

"Lian Hai, you've been in the palace for dozens of years. What kind of things have you not seen before? What are you so flustered about? Wake up your mind for me." Seeing the eunuch beside him so panicked, Helian Yi said in displeasure.

"Yes, yes, but Your Majesty, the Emperor …" Didn't the empress already enter … Have you entered the Royal Tomb? " Even after they had returned to Long Xiang Palace, Lian Hai was still trembling uncontrollably.

"Can you remember that the empress has already been in the mausoleum for more than a year? In this world, no matter what kind of woman, no matter how similar she looks to the late empress, she is still another person, definitely not the empress." Helian Yi Chen's stern warning.

That audacious woman not only dared to disobey his sacred will, but also dared to create Jiuyu. She even brought his son to the Illusory Realm, this was unforgivable. Even if he was wrong, he was the emperor, he was a man, and he shouldn't throw himself into the arms of his enemies.

"Yes …" "This servant has remembered. Your Majesty, do you wish to start the Phoenix Cry Palace now?" When Lian Hai heard the emperor speak like this, he became much calmer. As long as that woman wasn't the empress's ghost, it would be fine.

No need, you send Little Shun and the others to wait upon them, remember to tell them, that woman, is just another woman, to carefully wait upon her, and not to let any words related to the Queen out of their mouth. At noon, just order someone to call for a meal. Helian Chen said in one breath.

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty not going to Phoenix Cry Palace today?" At this point, even Hai Yang couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

"When you go, I will naturally send you word. Just do as I say." Helian Xi Chen's face revealed a hint of a smile. He thought that this little girl could hold her temper, but it turned out that she had only lasted for a year.

Watching Lian Hai leave, Helian Yi once again returned to the front of the dragon table. However, he no longer read the imperial reports, but took up his brush and drew. He was still drawing the court lady.

"It's been a year and I'm really looking forward to seeing you hide in the Illusory Realm this year. Little girl, little girl, how do you think I'll punish you?" He whispered to the finished portrait.

In the past year, no matter how busy he was, he didn't forget to think about her. On the contrary, the more he thought about her, the more he thought about her, especially when he saw the demon. He couldn't help but think about everything that had happened in Phoenix Cry Palace.

The little girl had returned to the mortal world, so what about their child? Did you bring it back? Why didn't the little girl bring the child into the palace with her? The more he thought about Helian Xi, the more he wanted to see her. However, when he thought about what she had done in the past year, he got angry and decided to endure it.

It was noon. At Phoenix Cry Palace, Luoxue and Sir Situ were losing their patience, especially Little Shun Zi. Little Jie and the others didn't even look at her, as if she were a woman they had never seen before.

This time, it was Luo Xue's turn to be impatient, especially when facing the palace maids standing in front of her. She deliberately swayed herself in front of them.

"Elder sister, I heard from my father that this was my elder sister's place in the past, may I ask if you were her maids?" Luo Xue asked innocently.

But those damn girls didn't make a sound.

"Big sister palace maid, my eldest sister isn't here anymore. Why is the emperor still hanging this portrait in the palace?" Was it because he missed his sister too much? Or is the emperor thinking of summoning souls in this palace? " Seeing that the palace maids' faces changed slightly after hearing the last word, Luo Xue smiled in satisfaction and continued to speak.

"I heard from the elders that a woman who died suddenly in the middle of a potted plant would not let go of the grievance in her heart, and would always stay at the place where she lived before her death. Thus, when people encounter this situation, they would usually do a few legal acts to resolve it."

The palace maids' faces became even paler, even their bodies were trembling. They seemed to be quite frightened, but Luo Xue was not satisfied as she continued to ask Sir Situ.

"Father, is daughter right?"

"There is, but my daughter, your sister has already been dead for a year. The emperor still hangs many portraits of her in the palace, and he still retains his original appearance. It's enough to show that he has a deep relationship with your sister." Lord Situ took the opportunity to hint at Luo Xue.

"Father, there are so many imperial physicians in the palace, how could Big Sis still die? In my opinion, it should be the Emperor's guilt." The father and daughter talked as if no one else was around them. It was hard to know that these words reached Helian Xi's ears in just a few moments.

Helian Xi Chen, who was in Dragon Xiang Palace, burst into laughter after hearing this. However, he was in no hurry to meet the people from Phoenix Cry Palace.

At Phoenix Cry Palace, Luo Xue suddenly heard a gurgling sound. She turned her head and saw that Sir Situ was blushing and looking embarrassed. She realized that they had been in the palace for a very long time, but they had gone too far and hadn't even brought any food over.

"I say, big sister palace maid, is everyone in the palace this stingy?" Or did the Emperor not want to see us at all? If that's the case, just say the word and we'll head back immediately. Why did you leave us here? " Luo Xue said angrily.

"Daughter, the Emperor is extremely anxious and busy with matters of the country is also within reason. Don't blame them, it won't be too late for us to eat when we leave the palace." Sir Situ had been an official in the imperial court for many years. He was well aware of how difficult it was to be an emperor. When Luo Xue accused Helian Chen, he naturally defended her.

The people of the palace immediately reported Luo Xue's complaints to the Hall of Dragon and Xiang. Helian Xi also laughed without restraint.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and give them a meal. Remember, if they ask about Zhen, tell them to pay respects at the empress dowager's palace and ask them to wait patiently." Helian Xi was in a great mood and had already decided to keep the little girl here today. Not only that, he also wanted her to compensate his wife for the past year's outstanding obligations.

"Father, he's really going too far. If he's really so busy, then let's go back. We'll just meet again another time. Why does he keep us here?" Seeing that the sun had already climbed down from the palace walls, Luo Xue was somewhat anxious.

He hadn't felt it before, but now, as the sky darkened, he could feel the chilly winds of Phoenix Cry Palace blowing. It was as if there was always the smell of blood on his breath.

"Eunuch, may I ask if the Emperor has said when he will see us?" Seeing that the sky was dark, not only Luo Xue, even the always calm Sir Situ was somewhat anxious. He finally asked for Little Shun'zi's opinion.

"Old Master Situ, after the emperor is done, he will naturally come to see you. With so many of us here, what are you worried about?" Little Shun Zi followed the instructions and replied seriously. He could see with his own eyes that the people from the palace that witnessed the tragedy that occurred in Phoenix Cry Palace a year ago all had strange expressions.

Over the past year, the doors of Phoenix Cry Palace had been tightly locked. It was only today that they had opened the doors, and the rumors within the palace about Phoenix Cry Palace being a hoodlum never ended. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, the crowd also felt an unusual and evil aura, especially with such a living queen standing in front of them.
