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
In the Tongxin Hall, Duanmu Xue was holding Duanmu Xi, reluctant to part from her daughter."Xi, do you have to leave today? Can't you stay for another two days?"Duanmu Xi stared at Duanmu Xue with embarrassment and then shifted her gaze to Huangfu Che, wishing him to come forward and persuade her mother."Xue, don't do this. Xi will be back after she finishes her work. If you miss her, we can write a letter to her and let her come back to visit you."Huangfu Che took the hint of Duanmu Xi and immediately went forward to hold Duanmu Xue, comforting gently."Yeah. If you miss me, you can write to me anytime and then I will come back to visit you immediately, okay?" Duanmu Xi also went forward to promise.Huangfu Che's and Duanmu Xi's comfort finally made Duanmu Xue release her hands.She knew that she couldn't change the fact that Xi was leaving regardless. As the mother, she couldn't be a dra
In Zhongzhou City."Your Highness, this is the most prosperous place in the Central State, Zhongzhou City." Phoenix Five pointed at the stone board above the city wall."Yeah."Duanmu Xi nodded and then entered Zhongzhou City with the others.Speaking of the Central State, it was the most special place on the Hantian Continent, which was situated in the center of the four empires but didn't belong to any one of them.A few centuries ago, the four empires all wanted to annex the Central State to unify the whole continent.However, the Central State was strategically situated, which was easy to guard and difficult to attack. The four empires distrusted each other and meanwhile took precautions against each other. As a result, they couldn't take down such a small state as the Central State for so many years.By now, the four empires had no intention of annexing the Central State, which all acknow
"Xi, after you pass the exam, I have to go back to the Baihu Empire and return the tiger tally to my father."Hearing that Xuanyuan Mo would leave, Duanmu Xi felt even sadder. Her face was etched with unhappiness.Seeing Duanmu Xi appeared so frustrated, Xuanyuan Mo's heart clenched. He went forward and pinched her fair-skinned face."Xi, don't be sad. I will come back as soon as possible."If there were not many people around, he really wanted to hug her."Yeah."Duanmu Xi looked downward and clenched Xuanyuan Mo's hand as if he were leaving the next moment...Seeing Duanmu Xi lowered her head, Xuanyuan Mo felt a bit of heartache.Then, he held Duanmu Xi's hand tightly.If possible, he didn't want to leave her either, not even for a moment.When only two people were left before the old man in grey, Duanmu Xi finally went forward slowly.A yo
