Duanmu Shuang stepped forward and bowed, "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is ill, so I came here to visit you."
"Wei Chen also came to visit His Majesty, but he happened to meet His Highness Prince Jing at the entrance of Tongxin Hall."
Qin Zhen also stepped forward to bow.
Duanmuxue looked at the two people's unnaturalness, and a sneer appeared on her lips.
"Oh, that's a coincidence. I'm in good health. My dears, please come back."
Duanmu Shuang's face froze, and she lowered her eyes and glanced at Qin Zhen beside her.
Qin Zhen received the hint in Duanmu Shuang's eyes and bowed again.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Duanmuxue's purple eyes narrowed slightly.
"speak."
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, has been missing for two years and there is still no news. For the sake of the stability of the Suzaku Kingdom, I would like to ask Your Majesty to appoint another Crown Princess."
A cold light flashed in Duanmuxue's eyes, and anger burst out instantly.
When Huangfu Che heard the words "create another princess", he also felt a cold chill.
"Then who do you think is qualified to be the next princess?"
Duanmuxue's voice was cold and cold, as if coming from underground.
"Wei Chen believes that Prince Jing's daughter can take on this responsibility."
Duanmuxue's eyes were burning, and she turned to Duanmushuang.
"Does Prince Jing think so too?"
Upon hearing the question, Duanmu Shuang immediately bowed: "I don't dare."
"You don't dare? Why don't you dare? Didn't you just want to break into the widow's palace!"
Duanmuxue slammed the table and glared at Duanmushuang.
"I am terrified."
"Wei Chen is terrified."
Both of them knelt down and kowtowed in fear.
"Hmph, Prince Jing seems to have forgotten the clan rules set by Emperor Taizu."
Duanmuxue looked at the two people kneeling on the ground with disdain.
Resentment and unwillingness flashed in Duanmu Shuang's eyes. If it weren't for that damn clan rule, the current queen would be herself, and her Qing'er would also be the crown princess.
"Go away yet."
"I excuse myself."
"Wei Chen resigns."
Duanmu Shuang clenched her fists, unwillingly and Qin Zhen exited the Tongxin Hall.
Outside Tongxin Palace.
"What should we do now?" Qin Zhen asked, looking at Duanmu Shuang who looked unwilling.
"What else can we do? Let's go back and find a way to unite more ministers. Then we can propose the creation of another concubine in the main hall and see how she still objects."
Duanmu Shuangfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, with a vicious light shining in them.
"What exactly are the clan rules of Emperor Taizu?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't know."
Duanmu Shuang glanced at Qin Zhen coldly, flicked her sleeves and left directly.
Qin Zhen looked at Duanmu Shuang's back and narrowed her eyes.
Damn Prince Jing, when her younger brother married Prince Jing and became the king, he was killed by the side minister of Prince Jing's palace. Not only did Prince Jing not hold them accountable, he also didn't see her feeling any sadness.
If she hadn't finally made Duanmu Qing, the only daughter left behind by her brother, her daughter, how could she have followed her orders.
In Tongxin Hall.
Duanmuxue dismissed the palace attendants and called out Feng Wei.
"Feng Yi."
A woman in black appeared in front of Duanmuxue. This woman in black was Feng Yi, the leader of the Feng Guards guarding Queen Suzaku.
The Phoenix Guards of the Suzaku Kingdom only take orders from the successive empresses of the Suzaku Kingdom. There are three thousand people in total, divided into fifteen teams, led by fifteen women, Feng One, Feng Two, and Feng Fifteen.
"Send someone to monitor their every move."
There was a sneer on Duanmuxue's lips, they would probably jump over the wall in a hurry.
"I obey my orders."
Feng disappeared instantly after receiving the order.
"Feng Wu."
Another woman in black appeared in front of Duanmuxue.
"Is there any news about the queen?"
"The subordinates are incompetent."
Feng Wu knelt down on one knee in shame and lowered his head.
Duanmuxue waved her hands in disappointment.
"Go down and continue searching. Send more manpower. We must find the princess as soon as possible."
She believed that Xi'er must still be alive, somewhere in this vast continent.
"yes."
In the study room of Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Mother Queen, how is the matter?"
Duanmu Shuang shook his head and frowned.
"Qing'er, with the clan rules of Emperor Taizu, it's impossible for you to legitimately become a princess."
Duanmu Qing's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
It's the clan rule of Emperor Taizu again. Damn it, could it be that Duanmu Xi, that good-for-nothing, really got it right? Even if she dies, she will never be able to become a princess.
No, she must become the Crown Princess at all costs.
A fierce look flashed across Duanmu Qing's face.
"Mother Queen, if this is the case, then we only have to..."
The two whispered for a while, each showing a sinister and evil smile.
…
At night, Huangfu Che hugged Duan Muxue on the bed in Tongxin Hall.
"Xue'er, what exactly are the clan rules of Emperor Taizu?"
"Che wants to know?"
Duanmuxue raised her eyes with a sweet smile on her face.
Huangfu Che's lips curled up slightly, "I'm a little curious."
"Haha, the first rule of the Duanmu family rules is that only royal women with purple eyes can become the princess and succeed to the throne."
"Oh? Emperor Taizu actually has such strange rules."
Huangfu Che was a little surprised when he heard the answer.
"Yes, otherwise why do you think I would become the Queen of the Suzaku Kingdom? I am not as good as the imperial sister Duanmu Qing in terms of strategy, and I am not as good as the imperial sister Duanmu Fei in terms of force. Besides, I am not keen on power."
If it weren't for Emperor Taizu's clan rules, she wouldn't want to be emperor.
Huangfu Che nodded and frowned: "What if Xi'er doesn't have purple eyes?"
"Fool, even if Xi'er doesn't have purple eyes, I will still love her very much. Then we can have a daughter with purple eyes and inherit the throne."
Huangfu Che's eyes flickered, "What if I can't give birth to a daughter with purple eyes? Will you..."
"No, never. I will only have you as my husband in my whole life."
Duanmuxue looked serious. Apart from Che, she had never thought about wanting anyone else. Not to mention that they have a daughter named Xi'er, even if they don't have Xi'er, she will not marry again.
Huangfu Che hugged Duanmuxue tightly, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
"Xue'er, thank you."
"fool."
Duanmuxue raised her lips and kissed Huangfu Che's lips.
When he didn't even do anything to become a prince for her, how could she fail him? She still remembers what her father said to her.
"Don't hurt Che'er, or I will never let you go."
He really loved Che, but Che fell out with him because of himself.
"Don't think nonsense. Father, he loves me after all. When Xi'er comes back, we will take Xi'er back to Qinglong Kingdom to see him. He will definitely forgive us when he sees such cute Xi'er."
Huangfu Che hugged Duanmuxue and comforted her softly.
"Well, he will definitely like Xi'er, Xi'er looks so much like you."
Duanmuxue kissed Huangfu Che's lips gently and looked at his dark eyes seriously.
"When Xi'er comes back, I will pass the throne to her, and we will travel around the world together. I have really wronged you to have you tied up in this little Suzaku Palace for so many years."
"It's worth everything for you!"
Huangfu Che turned his back, lowered his head and kissed Duanmuxue's red lips, gently twisting her tongue to entice her to dance together.
Put down the red curtain on the phoenix bed, and enjoy the beautiful spring night...
