In the imperial study of the Baihu Empire.
Xuanyuan Lie finished reviewing the memorial in his hand and flew into a rage. He directly smashed the desk into pieces.
Eunuch Hu aside saw the scene and immediately prostrated himself. He wondered what the memorial wrote to make the emperor so angry.
Xuanyuan Lie took a few deep breaths to slightly pacify his anger. Having glimpsed Eunuch Hu kneeling on the ground, he said angrily, "Summon Jiao Yongnian, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and Liu Hongwen, Director in the Ministry of Justice into the palace to meet me."
Hearing that, Eunuch Hu immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as Eunuch Hu got out of the imperial study, a junior eunuch immediately came inside to clean up the mess.
After 15 minutes, Eunuch Hu came back and reported to Xuanyuan Lie, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiao and Lord Liu have arrived."
"Let them in." Xuanyuan L
As to Duanmu Xi's carriage, Long Ri and Long Yue were harnessing the horse while Phoenix Five was sitting in the carriage to keep Duanmu Xi company."Your Highness, would you like some pastries?" Phoenix Five took out a dish of pastries from the hamper and placed it on the desk in front of Duanmu Xi.Staring at the pastries on the table, Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips. It seemed that she had eaten some pastries. Now, upon seeing the pastries, she felt hungry again. She stroked her belly gently. These days, she had maltreated her babies indeed.No sooner had Duanmu Xi eaten a pastry than she heard Long Yue say outside the carriage, "Your Highness, we're arriving in the territory of the Wilderness Region."Hearing that, Duanmu Xi lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.Staring at the luxuriant jungle ahead, Duanmu Xi knitted her eyebrows.Situ Kong and the others also got off the carriage and
In the Wilderness Jungle.Duanmu Xi and the others were walking carefully in the jungle.The jungle was full of colorful plants, common colorful mushrooms and red wild fruits.As the saying went, the more beautiful things, the more dangerous. It was so true. Most of the plants, mushrooms and wild fruits in the jungle were poisonous. Especially the pretty and colorful ones were highly poisonous. For example, the colorful fog looked as stunning as the rainbow but it could kill people.Duanmu Xi stroked her belly. Just as well she had eaten the wood spiritual fruit. Otherwise, even though she had taken the Alexipharmic Pill, she couldn't go through the jungle.Phoenix Five next to Duanmu Xi had been focusing her attention on Duanmu Xi's behaviors. Seeing Duanmu Xi touch her belly, Phoenix Five asked with worry, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with your belly?"As Phoenix Five aske
Seeing that Xuanyuan She kept quiet, Guo Zhengxiong added with righteous indignation, "Why doesn't His Majesty make you the crown prince? If it weren't for the Guo Family's support, how could he ascend the throne easily?"Xuanyuan She was also angry to hear Guo Zhengxiong's angry words. He totally agreed with his grandpa and thought, "If his father hadn't married his mother and gained the Guo Family's support, he couldn't have ascended the throne that easily.Looking at Xuanyuan She's expression, Guo Zhengxiong curled his lips subtly and went forward to stare at Xuanyuan She, saying seriously, "If you want to, I will definitely support you. Since I could help him ascend the throne, I can help you do it too."Xuanyuan She's heart skipped a beat. He said hesitantly, "Grandpa, this is quite huge. Let me think about it. Let me think..."If he failed, he might be killed. Yet, if he succeeded...Guo Zhengxiong was a b
Yu Ying looked at Phoenix Fourteen's flustered expression and cracked a comforting smile, saying with a husky voice, "I'm fine."Yu Ying pointed at his shoulder and then ripped open the clothes to start checking his injury.Phoenix Fourteen didn't expect Yu Ying would suddenly rip off his clothes. Immediately, she blushed. She slightly turned her head and didn't dare to look at Yu Ying's shoulder exposed to the air.Yu Ying glimpsed the swollen injury on his shoulder and bent his brows. Within a few breaths, the injury had deteriorated to this extent. Unexpectedly, the green snake turned out to be so venomous.He suddenly felt dizzy and then directly collapsed."Hey..." Although Phoenix Fourteen turned her head, she had been paying attention to Yu Ying. So, as soon as he leaned backward, Phoenix Fourteen instantly caught him."Yu Ying..." Phoenix Fourteen patted Yu Ying's face twice despite the etiq
In the study of Prince Zhan's mansion in the Baihu Empire.Xuanyuan Mo pinched his brows with fatigue and put down the document. He walked to the window and opened it, staring at the sun and the moon alternating in the sky. His eyes were full of affection.His wife had been away from him for 16 days. He wondered where they had reached.Irritably, Yu Ying had sent only one letter to him within 16 days. It was not even a letter but a note. It seemed that Yu Ying didn't want to be a secret guard anymore.Yu Ying, who was in the Wilderness Jungle, suddenly sneezed and opened his eyes in a trance. Seeing that everyone was still sleeping, he took a glance at Phoenix Fourteen who was sleeping soundly not far away and cracked a faint smile. He closed his eyes with satisfaction again."Your Highness," Yu Feng said and knocked on the door."Come in." His cold voice carried a little fatigue.Heari
Feeling that her whole arm had been numb, Phoenix Fourteen was startled. She poked her chest and leaned against Yu Ying's back feebly but she hung on for a few seconds only before passing out."Phoenix Fourteen..." Phoenix Five and Phoenix Thirteen were startled to see that. They wanted to rush forward but couldn't go there at all. They could only strive to kill the Flying Green Tendrils in front of them.Hearing Phoenix Five and Phoenix Thirteen's cries and feeling Fourteen falling slowly, Yu Ying turned to catch Phoenix Fourteen abruptly and held her into his arms.Yu Ying stared at Flying Green Tendrils in front of him like a starving wolf, his red eyes full of resentment. He held Phoenix Fourteen tightly and raised his sword to slash at the Flying Green Tendrils desperately.Currently, Yu Ying couldn't deal with the attacks from the front and the back at all. All he knew was to fight desperately. The Flying Green Tendril
Yu Ying took off his coat and placed it on the clean ground. Then, he carried Phoenix Fourteen forward gently.Staring at her pale face, Yu Ying felt a gut-wrenching heartache and bent down to kiss her on the forehead, muttering, "I'm sorry."His tear dropped to Phoenix Fourteen's hair and then disappeared."Start." Yu Ying turned to look at Phoenix Thirteen and nodded.Holding the saber in her hand, Phoenix Thirteen stared at Phoenix Fourteen lying on the ground. Her eyes were full of sorrow. Phoenix Fourteen who was lively today was lying here like a dull doll.Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi next to him and said gently, "Xi, how about going there to have a rest?"Hearing that, Duanmu Xi shook her head. She knew that Chief Master was afraid that she couldn't stand it but now, she didn't want to avoid this. She wanted to be there for Phoenix Fourteen.Situ Kong saw Duanmu Xi shake her he
In astonishment, Yu Ying stared at the finger in front of him and blinked. He didn't take any action.The others were also staring at Lyuzhu in surprise. They didn't understand why she would let Yu Ying whom she met for the first time suck her finger.Baiyu's eyes flashed. Somehow, he had bitter feelings. Then, he glanced at Yu Ying's dark purple lips and took a tumble. Yet, despite that, he still felt disgruntled.Apart from Baiyu, Duanmu Xi and Situ Kong also understood why Lyuzhu did that.Seeing that Yu Ying was still staring at her dully, Lyuzhu cracked a sweet smile and moved her finger a bit forward. She said with a pout, "It hurts!"Hearing what Lyuzhu said, Yu Ying immediately came to his senses and comforted her nervously, "Don't be afraid. It won't hurt later."Then, Yu Ying sucked Lyuzhu's finger in his mouth. Instantly, a strange sweet scent permeated his mouth. He licked the wound gent
