In the imperial study room of the Suzaku Kingdom Palace, Duan Muxue was reviewing the memorial.
"See Your Majesty."
Suddenly, a woman in black appeared in the royal study.
Duanmuxue raised her head and glanced at Thirteen, then buried her head again.
"Why are you back? But there is news about the concubine."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine is in Gukou Town now."
Duanmuxue's hand trembled slightly, and a large pool of ink stains instantly fell on the memorial.
"What, what did you say?"
"His Highness is in Gukou Town now. Feng Wu and other Feng Guards are escorting His Highness back to the palace."
Hearing this, Duanmuxue couldn't bear it anymore, threw away the brush, rushed to Shisan, and said excitedly: "Is it true? Is what you said true?"
"Well, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that there was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old beside His Highness."
Duanmuxue frowned, "A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy? Do you know who he is?"
Thirteen shook his head, "I don't know."
"Send someone to find out this person's identity quickly."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
In Tongxin Hall, Huangfu Che was reading by the window.
"Che..."
Before you even see the person, you already hear the person.
This Xue'er, has she forgotten her identity again? Huangfu Che shook his head helplessly, put down the book, and went to the door to greet her.
"Che..."
As soon as Duanmuxue saw Huangfu Che, she pulled him and ran to the bedroom.
"Xue'er, please slow down, why is it so urgent..."
As soon as they arrived at the dormitory, Duanmuxue sent the palace attendants out.
Outside the palace, the palace attendants exchanged ambiguous glances, and some even talked in low voices.
"Your Majesty is really impatient."
"That's right, in broad daylight..."
"Our Highness, Queen Feng, is truly favored."
"you do not say… "
"Don't you even want your head?" A low shout interrupted the conversation of the palace attendants.
Seeing Long Xing and Long Chen, the palace attendants immediately shut up.
Long Xing and Long Chen are popular people around Feng Hou, and Feng Hou is the only one favored by His Majesty. They are people they cannot offend.
"Xue'er, you..."
Huangfu Che frowned slightly, with a confused look on his face.
"Che, did you know? Xi'er is coming back."
Seeing the stunned Huangfu Che, Duanmuxue grabbed his arm and shook him hard.
"Che, did you hear that? Our Xi'er is coming back soon."
Huangfu Che finally came back to his senses, unable to control himself with excitement, and murmured: "Is it true, is this true? Xi'er..." Is she finally coming back
"Really, we have received news that Xi'er is now in Gukou Town, but there is a boy with her..."
"That's great, I want to go to Gukou Town in person to take Xi'er back to the palace."
Huangfu Che simply ignored the second half of Duanmuxue's words and looked excited.
"You want to go in person?"
Duanmuxue frowned.
Huangfu Che raised his eyebrows, a flash of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Why, you think of me as a man from the Suzaku Kingdom again. I am not one of those weak men."
... Where do I start talking about this? I have never regarded him as a man from the Suzaku Kingdom.
"Okay then, I'll let Thirteen and Fifteen accompany you. You must come back safely with Xi'er."
"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."
Huangfu Che lowered his head and placed a light kiss on Duanmuxue's forehead.
…
"What?"
A loud shout came from the study room of Prince Jing of the Suzaku Kingdom, startling a group of crows that were sitting on the branches outside the window.
"Do you even know what you're talking about?"
Duanmuqing grabbed the woman in black who was kneeling on the ground and shook her hard.
The woman in black was so frightened by Duanmuqing's crazy movements that she didn't dare to move.
Duanmu Shuang was also startled when she saw Duanmu Qing like this and stopped her immediately.
"Qing'er, calm down."
"Calm down, how can you tell me to calm down? I clearly saw her jumping into the Wuji Sea, but why? Why does she still appear in Gukou Town? Why..."
Duanmuqing's eyes turned red with anger, and she threw everything on the desk to the ground, leaving the study room in a mess.
"You go down first."
Duanmu Shuang waved her sleeves towards the woman in black.
"yes."
The woman in black left the study as if fleeing.
"Snapped… "
Looking at Duanmu Qing who was still venting her anger, Duanmu Shuang slapped her in the face.
"Look at what you look like now, what are you doing, do you still want to inherit the throne in the future?"
"Inherit the throne?"
Duanmu Qing tilted her head, a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
"I can't inherit the throne even if Duan Muxi, that loser, dies. What's more, now that loser is back, what chance do I have of inheriting the throne?"
"You said she is useless. Since we can let her die the first time, we can let her die the second time. What? Do you want to give up like this?"
A word woke up the dreamer, and Duanmuqing regained his fighting spirit as if he had been beaten with blood.
"Yes, I can't give up. It's not time to give up yet. I will never let her return to the palace alive this time."
"This is my good daughter."
Duanmu Shuang patted Duanmu Qing on the shoulder with a look of relief.
As the sun set in the west, an inconspicuous carriage was driving on a small road leading to Suzaku Kingdom's Kyoto, and the driver was Feng Wu.
"Your Highness, it's getting dark, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to stay here. Why don't you and the young master spend the night in the carriage tonight?"
Feng Wu glanced at the sky, stopped the carriage, and asked for instructions outside the carriage curtain.
"kindness."
The car curtain was opened, and Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo walked out together.
"Your Highness, you and the young master will rest here first, and your subordinates will go find something to eat."
Soon, Feng Wu found two pheasants.
After the three of them had a simple dinner, they all went to rest.
Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo entered the carriage, while Feng Wu stood guard outside the carriage.
Late at night, Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo opened their eyes at the same time and faced each other. They both saw a look of vigilance in the other's eyes.
There are people coming, and it seems that there are quite a lot of them. The people who come are not good!
As soon as Duanmuxi opened the curtain, a sharp arrow shot over.
"careful."
Xuanyuan Mo knocked away the sharp arrow with a wave of his hand, and flew out from the roof of the car with Duan Muxi in his arms.
"There are assassins protecting His Highness."
Feng Wu raised his sword and stood in front of Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo, and other Feng guards soon appeared and started fighting with the killer in black.
Duanmuxi looked at the group of black-clothed and masked women with cold eyes. She always felt like she had seen these people before.
By the way, in the dream, it was the group of men in black who were chasing her.
A murderous look flashed in Duanmu Xi's eyes. She didn't go to find them, but they came to her door first. Today she wants them all to come back without any return.
"Leave no one behind."
The icy voice was as biting as the cold wind, making the black-clothed killers tremble.
"yes."
The Phoenix Guards all concentrated all the profound energy in their bodies, used their greatest skills, and fought desperately against the group of black-clad killers one by one.
Looking at Duan Muxi with a solemn expression, Feng Wu's eyes flashed.
She always felt that His Highness was different from before. Compared with before, His Highness now seems to be colder and more reserved. The aura of a king inadvertently exuding from his body makes him look more like a Queen than His Majesty.
What has His Highness experienced in the past year or so
