In the imperial study of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire, Duanmu Xue was reading the memorials.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Suddenly, a woman in black showed up in the imperial study.
Duanmu Xue jerked her head up to look at Phoenix Thirteen and lowered her head back.
"Why are you back? Any news about the Crown Princess?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Crown Princess is in Gukou Town now."
Duanmu Xue's hand quivered and the ink just dropped on the memorial.
"What? What did you say?"
"Her Highness is in Gukou Town. Phoenix Five and other phoenix guards are escorting Her Highness back to the imperial palace."
Hearing this, Duanmu Xue couldn't hold back her emotion anymore. She directly threw away the brush pen and rushed to Phoenix Thirteen, saying with excitement, "Really? Are you serious?"
"Yes. I saw Her Highness with my own eyes. Her Highness is accomp
Under the crazy attacks of the phoenix guards, lots of the assassins were killed."Leave them alone. Kill the Crown Princess."The chief of the assassins glared at Duanmu Xi coldly with a sinister look.Upon hearing the instruction, a dozen assassins instantly switched their focus and launched attacks on Duanmu Xi.Seeing the assassins swarming towards Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo narrowed his eyes and let out an air of blue mysterious Qi, which directly killed two assassins.Phoenix Five was taken aback by Xuanyuan Mo's neat attack. He directly killed two assassins ranked above Mysterious King with one move.He was a 17-year-old Mysterious Emperor! Unbelievable!"Why are you in a trance? Protect Xi!"Xuanyuan Mo's shout instantly woke Phoenix Five up from her trance."Yes."Her voice was much more respectful than before. Cultivation level prevailed on the Hant
In the imperial study of the imperial palace of the Zhuque Empire.Duanmu Xue was holding the memorial but not reading it at all.She was wondering where her husband and daughter were now. Supposedly, they would arrive two days later."Your Majesty, Princess Jing requests meeting you," Hongfeng entered the hall and reported in a low voice.Duanmu Xue slightly knitted her eyebrows. Why did Princess Jing come again?"Let her in.""Yes, Your Majesty." Hongfeng got out of the imperial study.A moment later, Duanmu Shuang walked inside and saluted Duanmu Xue, "Greetings, Your Majesty.""Rise."Duanmu Shuang stood up as told with her head lowered."Why do you want to meet me today?"Duanmu Xue glimpsed Duanmu Shuang and directly put down the memorial."Your Majesty, here is the thing. Qing falls in love with a man and wants to marry hi
As Hongye chanted, Huangfu Che, dressed in white, advanced slowly with a faint smile on his handsome face. Many women were fascinated by his charming smile.Duanmu Shuang was also staring obsessively at the man she wanted so badly.Huangfu Che was followed by a young man and a young girl.The young man was dressed in black, giving off an air of coldness and alienation.Everyone was surprised at the appearance of the young man.This young man's appearance was definitely not inferior to His Highness the Royal Consort's. Likewise, he was also fabulously handsome, except that his disposition was different.His Highness the Royal Consort was like an immortal, within sight but beyond reach. On the contrary, the young man just looked like an elf that broke into the secular world, good-looking and mysterious.The young girl was standing next to the young man.She was dressed in whi
"Oh yeah? Will you give up everything for Xi, including power, identity, and life?"Duanmu Xue stared at Xuanyuan Mo, paying attention to his facial expression closely."Yes, I will."Without hesitation, Xuanyuan Mo answered Duanmu Xue firmly.Duanmu Xue nodded inwardly.This young man was quite good but should she let him go easily...Suddenly, Duanmu Xue released an air of cyan mysterious Qi at Xuanyuan Mo. Attacked off guard, Xuanyuan Mo let out the blue mysterious Qi hastily."Mother..."Duanmu Xi didn't understand why Duanmu Xue suddenly launched an attack. Didn't they talk merrily just now?"Xi, no worries. Your mother is testing his ability. He will be fine."Huangfu Che patted Duanmu Xi's shoulder and comforted her gently.Shortly, Duanmu Xue found in surprise that Xuanyuan Mo was a Mysterious Emperor.Such a young Myster
Si Yunhan's eyes got cold. He pulled himself together and directly waved his hand."I don't want to meet her.""What? You feel regretful after knowing she is alive?"Right after Si Yunhan said, a burst of sinister laughter came.Seeing Duanmu Qing, Si Yunhan showed a glimmer of annoyance in his eyes quickly."Isn't it rude of you to break into a man's backyard?"Duanmu Qing gave a mischievous snicker, walked to Si Yunhan slowly and pinched his chin."So what if I am rude? Even if I sleep with you now, there won't be any problem.""Heiress of Princess Jing, please behave yourself."Si Yunhan directly turned his head to parry Duanmu Qing's hand."Behave myself?" Looking at Si Yunhan's annoyed facial expression, Duanmu Qing snorted, "I'm talking with my fiancé. Why would I need to behave myself?"The imperial edict of the marriage bestowal was i
The dinner party officially began.On the left side of Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xian and Situ Rui; on the right side were Duanmu Shuang, Duanmu Fei, He Mixiu, Duanmu Qing and Si Yunhan.Those who sat on the stairs were in pairs, which made Duanmu Shuang sitting alone quite eye-catching.Qin Zhuo, the prince consort of Duanmu Shuang, perished tragically young. There were several concubines in her mansion. She didn't even have a side consort. It was not that she loved Qin Zhuo dearly but that she was obsessed with Huangfu Che. She was not interested in other men. Therefore, she only brought Duanmu Qing and Si Yunhan to the party tonight.Duanmu Qing looked across at Duanmu Xi with a faint smile.Duanmu Xi really managed to come back. She was so lucky. It was a pity that Duanmu Qing wouldn't let her live long.Si Yunhan sitting next to Duanmu Qing was also staring at Duan
Duanmu Qing had a cold glance at Si Yunhan and rose to toast Xuanyuan Mo."Mr. Xuanyuan, here is a toast to you."The guests were so speechless. What was wrong with the couple? The fiancé was officially engaged and still wanted to hit on the crown princess. The fiancée had already taken away the crown princess's previous lover and now coveted the latter's current lover. Shame on them!Duanmu Xue instantly went mad and wanted to shout at Duanmu Qing but was stopped by Huangfu Che.Huangfu Che watched the young people's interaction, his corners of the mouth slightly lifted.How could that woman covet Xuanyuan Mo? How naive!Xuanyuan Mo frowned and looked at Duanmu Qing with a disdainful look, his amber eyes full of contempt."Snow, I'm a bit dizzy. Let's go back to the Eastern Palace."She didn't want to waste her time talking with Duanmu Qing anymore. Otherwise, she would directly
In the Eastern Palace of the Crown Princess.Duanmu Xi was sitting by the table, rubbing her temples. She drank too much last night, making her have a headache today."Your Highness, here is the hangover alleviating soup."Ziwan put a jade bowl in front of Duanmu Xi carefully.Duanmu Xi took the jade bowl and drank up the soup."Here come Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Royal Consort..."As the palace maids outside the palace chanted, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che walked inside.Duanmu Xi rose and saluted the two of them."Mother, Father.""Xi, are you okay? Have you drunk the hangover alleviating soup?" Duanmu Xue saw her chin rested on her palm and immediately said nervously."Yeah." Duanmu Xi nodded."Come here. Xi, have a seat."Duanmu Xue dragged Duanmu Xi over and made her sit down, her face full of anxiety.
