Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

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 accompanied by a young man who is 16 or 17 years old.”

Duanmu Xue knitted her brows, “A young man who is 16 or 17 years old? Do you find out who he is?”

Phoenix Thirteen shook her head, “No.”

“Find out who he is as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

In the Tongxin Hall, Huangfu Che was reading by the window.

“Che…”

Her voice arrived earlier than her figure.

Did Xue forget her identity again? Huangfu Che shook his head resignedly, put down the book and went to the entrance to receive her.

“Che…”

Upon seeing Huangfu Che, Duanmu Xue dragged him into the bedroom.

“Xue, easy. Why are you so rash…”

Upon arriving in the bedroom, Duanmu Xue just sent the maids out.

Outside the room, the maids were making eye contact mischievously. Some of them were even whispering.

“Her Majesty is really hasty.”

“Yeah, it is in the daytime…”

“The Royal Consort is really in Her Majesty’s good graces.”

“You don’t say…”

“Are you courting death?” A shout stopped the maids’ talking.

Seeing Long Xing and Long Chen, the maids immediately shut up.

Long Xing and Long Chen were the Royal Consort’s fair-haired servants. And the Royal Consort was favored by Her Majesty. They couldn’t afford to offend the two men.

“Xue, you…”

Huangfu Che frowned and put on a confused look.

“Che, you know what? Xi is coming back.”

Seeing Huangfu Che was stupefied, Duanmu Xue grabbed his arm and shook it harshly.

“Che, did you hear me? Xi is coming back.”

Huangfu Che finally recovered from the shock and became incredibly excited. He asked, “Really? Really? Xi is…” Their daughter was finally coming back?

“Yes. I’ve got the news that Xi is in Gukou Town but she is followed by a young man…”

“Terrific. I must go to Gukou Town to bring her back into the palace.”

Huangfu Che directly omitted the latter part of Duanmu Xue’s words, his face full of excitement.

“You are going on your own?”

Duanmu Xue frowned.

Huangfu Che raised his eyebrows with a glimmer of discontentment crossing his eye.

“What? You are mistaking me as the man of the Zhuque Empire again? I’m not a weak man like them.”

Why did he think so? She had never regarded him as a man of the Zhuque Empire.

“Fine. I’ll ask Phoenix Thirteen and Phoenix Fifteen to escort you. You must come back safe with Xi.”

“Rest assured. We will.”

Huangfu Che lowered his head to kiss Duanmu Xue on her forehead.

…

“What?”

A shout came from the study of the Princess Jing’s mansion, scaring away a flock of crows in the tree outside the window.

“Do you know what you are talking about?”

Duanmu Qing grabbed the woman in black kneeling on the ground and shook her harshly.

Scared by Duanmu Qing’s maniac actions, the woman in black didn’t dare to move at all.

Duanmu Shuang was also astonished by Duanmu Qing’s actions so she immediately went forward to stop her daughter.

“Qing, calm down.”

“Calm down? How can I calm down? I saw her jump into the Infinite Sea with my own eyes. But why? Why does she appear in Gukou Town? Why…”

Duanmu Qing’s eyes became red out of anger. She swept the things on the desk to the ground. For the moment, the study was in a mess.

“You leave first.”

Duanmu Shuang waved at the woman in black.

“Yes.”

The woman in black left the study as if fleeing.

“Slap…”

Looking at Duanmu Qing still immersed in venting her anger, Duanmu Shuang gave her a slap.

“Look at you. What are you doing? How can you ascend the throne given your current appearance?”

“Ascend the throne?”

Duanmu Qing tilted her head and her mouth curved into a self-mocking smile.

“Even when Duanmu Xi was dead, I couldn’t ascend the throne. Now that the total wreck is coming back, how can I have the opportunity to ascend the throne?”

“You are calling her a total wreck. Since we can kill her once, we can kill her again. What? You want to give up?”

What a wake-up call! Duanmu Qing seemed to be full of beans and became high in spirits.

“Yeah, I cannot give up. It’s not the time to give up yet. This time, I can never let her come back to the imperial palace alive.”

“That’s my good daughter.”

Duanmu Shuang patted Duanmu Qing’s shoulders with a satisfied look.

The sun was low in the west. On the path to the capital of the Zhuque Empire, an insignificant carriage was running, driven by Phoenix Five.

“Your Highness, it is getting dark. There seems to be no place for us to put up for the night. What about you and the childe sleeping in the carriage tonight?”

Phoenix Five took a look at the darkness and stopped the carriage, asking for instruction outside the curtain.

“Okay.”

The curtain was rolled up. Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo walked out together.

“Your Highness, you and the childe rest here. I’ll go and find some food.”

Shortly, Phoenix Five came back with two pheasants.

After grabbing a bite, the three of them just went to sleep.

Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo went into the carriage while Phoenix Five guarded outside the carriage.

Late at night, Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo opened their eyes at the same time. They looked each other in the eye and both found vigilance in each other’s eyes.

Some people came. And there were a lot of them. They were coming with ulterior motives!

Duanmu Xi just lifted the curtain when an arrow came at her!

“Be careful.”

Xuanyuan Mo parried the arrow and flew out of the carriage from the ceiling, carrying Duanmu Xi.

“Assassins! Protect Her Highness.”

Phoenix Five stood before Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo with her sword while the other phoenix guards also showed up and fought against the assassins in black.

Duanmu Xi looked at the masked women in black coldly. She felt that she seemed to have seen these people before.

Oh right, they were the assassins in black who were hunting her down in the dream.

A murderous glint flashed across Duanmu Xi’s eyes. She didn’t look for them but they came to her instead. Today, she must kill them all.

“Kill them all.”

Her cold voice was as fierce as the gale, making the assassins shiver.

“Yes.”

The phoenix guards all gathered their mysterious Qi and exerted their greatest skills to grapple with the assassins with all their strength.

When she stared at the ferocious Duanmu Xi, Phoenix Five’s eyes glistened.

Somehow, she felt Her Highness was different–colder and more reserved than before. And the majestic demeanor Her Highness gave off made her look more of an empress than Her Majesty.

What on earth did Her Highness experience over the past more than one year?
