In the Eastern Palace, Duanmu Xi looked at the several women in black in front of her with cold eyes.
"Phoenix Five?"
She only knew Phoenix Five among these women. They were probably her mother's phoenix guards.
Faced with Duanmu Xi's fierce look, Phoenix Five felt frightened. Yet, among these people, she was the most familiar with the crown princess so she could only brace herself to go forward.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry. We’re acting under the empress's order. Please forgive us."
Duanmu Xi frowned. Her mother was so...
"Piss off."
She glanced at the several phoenix guards in front of her coldly. A grumpy look flashed across Duanmu Xi's face.
If it were not because they didn't mean harm, she wouldn't be so patient with them.
The phoenix guards looked at each other and then shook their heads at Duanmu Xi.
"I'll give you one more chance. Get out of my way.
"What's wrong with Heiress of Princess Jing? Why isn't she fighting?""Exactly. She seems quite frightened."The onlookers saw the two people not fighting on the platform and started to murmur.Staring at Duanmu Qing who looked abnormal on the platform, Duanmu Shuang also slightly frowned.What was wrong with Qing? What on earth did Duanmu Xi say to her? What was she afraid of?Duanmu Qing was completely dumbfounded now.The total wreck she looked down upon had gained such a high level of competence that she could never approach in her whole life and ridiculously, she still acted like a pathetic clown."Duanmu Qing, as I said, even if I die, you can never become the crown princess..."Again, Duanmu Xi's words sounded in Duanmu Qing's ears coldly.Duanmu Qing couldn't move at all, as if being bewitched.Those were the words that made her unable to f
At night, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were waiting for Duanmu Xi anxiously in the Tongxin Hall."Here comes Her Highness the Crown Princess..."Hearing the palace servant's chanting outside the hall, Duanmu Xue raced out hurriedly, followed by Huangfu Che who was quite resigned.Upon entering the hall, Duanmu Xi saw Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che standing at the door and immediately saluted them."Mother, Father, good evening.""Xi, there you are. Come on in."Duanmu Xue dragged Duanmu Xi to the table and then sent away all the palace servants."Xi, when did you repair the meridians? Why didn't you tell me? If I had known your capability, I wouldn't have sent out the phoenix guards."Holding Duanmu Xi's hands, Duanmu Xue was proud and remorseful.Duanmu Xi's eyes glittered, "You didn't ask me so...""Xi, I heard from Long Xing and Long Chen that you hav
In the Fengming Hall.Seeing the empty palace, Duanmu Xi frowned and walked inside slowly.When she walked inside, Duanmu Xi saw the portraits of the previous empresses. Beneath the portraits were the memorial tablets of the deceased empresses and their royal consorts.Duanmu Xi's eyes glistened.The rules of the Duanmu Family were so strange. These royal consorts were not allowed to enter the Fengming Hall when they were alive. However, when they passed away, their memorial tablets could be placed here.Was it to prevent the empresses from being lonely?Duanmu Xi looked at the yellow cattail hassock on the ground and gave a bitter smile.She didn't even lower her head before her parents since she came to the Hantian Continent but now she had to kowtow to these memorial tablets.Fine. Since these were her ancestors, it wouldn't be a big deal to kowtow to them.
"You..."Xuanyuan Lie was rendered speechless by Xuanyuan Mo's reply. He took a few deep breaths and slightly calmed himself down."What's good about that total wreck...""She is not a total wreck."Xuanyuan Mo frowned and gave off a cold air instantly.He didn't want to hear anyone insult Xi, not even his father."Good. Very good..."Xuanyuan Lie was lost for words in fury."I'll go back to my mansion if nothing else."Xuanyuan Mo couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Xuanyuan Lie anymore. He turned around and wanted to leave.Xuanyuan Lie got anxious and yelled, "So what if you love her? Do you really want to marry into the Zhuque Empire?"Xuanyuan Mo didn't look back but stopped."If that's what she wants, I'll do it then.""Do you forget your mother? Do you want to follow her example? Duanmu Xi will asc
In the Tongxin Hall.Seeing Duanmu Xue's frown, Huangfu Che asked in a low voice, "Are you still worried about the frontier situation?"Duanmu Xue nodded lightly, her face full of anxiety.She was not afraid of being unable to defeat the Xuanwu Empire. Yet, when the two empires fell into a fight, the people had to suffer."Xue, isn't the Xuanwu Empire in the reign of your grandpa? Why does it suddenly raid our northwest frontier?"Seeing that Duanmu Xue was so worried, Huangfu Che felt a bit pitiful.Duanmu Xue shook her head and sighed."Now, the Xuanwu Empire is no longer the empire when my cousin Xiahou Shen was in reign. At present, it is under the control of Zhuge Weiming, the Prince Regent. I'm afraid that he is the one who schemes the raid on the northwest frontier."Huangfu Che frowned, "Zhuge Weiming has been in power for a while. This time, he attacks our empire.
Late at night."Xi..."Xuanyuan Mo in the military camp suddenly woke up from his dream. His head was full of sweat."Yu Ying.""Yes, Your Highness."Upon hearing Xuanyuan Mo's call, Yu Ying immediately showed up before him."I'll leave the thing here to you."Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Mo turned over and got off the bed.Yu Ying looked up in surprise, "Your Highness?""I have urgent things to deal with. Send a message to me if anything."After putting on the armor, Xuanyuan Mo walked out in a hurry."Yes." Yu Ying lowered his head."Lishang.""Yes, Your Highness."Lishang guarding outside the tent stood there with a bow."Come with me to the Zhuque Empire with 3,000 elite soldiers."After saying that, Xuanyuan Mo directly rode away before Lishang realized what had happened.
As the army's morale was shaken, Duanmu Shuang got anxious."Don't listen to her bewitching words. There is no Rosefinch at all. It is merely a legend..."Duanmu Xi squinted with a glint of coldness in her purple eyes.Before Duanmu Xi took any action, Hongling sprayed a big fireball at Duanmu Shuang below."Argh..."After the shrill cry faded away, a charred corpse was left.Everyone was too shocked to make any sound.Princess Jing was dead like this. Such a Mysterious Lord was easily killed like this.The ambitions of all rebel forces were blasted.Staring at the uproar below, Duanmu Xi said coldly again."You still don't surrender. Do you want to be punished by Rosefinch as she was?"Hearing the word "punishment", the people instantly thought of the miserable death of Duanmu Shuang and shuddered. After throwing down the weapons hast
She was so gorgeous today.Duanmu Xi usually wore white clothes. Pretty as she was, she looked somewhat ethereally beautiful. She was just like a fairy maiden in Heaven, hazy and untouchable.Yet, today, she was wearing a suit of exquisitely fine clothes, exalted and aloof. An air of majestic dignity just showed itself.Huangfu Che was also stunned to see Duanmu Xi.Xi really looked like the young version of Xue.He peeped at the dumbfounded Xuanyuan Mo and said banteringly, "Xi, you have grown up. After the coming-of-age ceremony, you can get married then. You can pick a man you like at the evening party."Huangfu Che's words instantly dragged Xuanyuan Mo back to reality and then the latter just started to give off an air of grimness from inside out.Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue laughed at Xuanyuan Mo's reaction in secret.Duanmu Xue even added fuel to the fire, "Yeah, Xi, j
