Phoenix Returns - C69

After more than 40 years, the Ling Xing princess thought that she would never have another chance in her life. Who knew that a few years ago, something went wrong with the Xue Lan royal family?

Right now, the whole of Xue Lan was in danger, so the Ling Star princess had no choice but to find Xiahou Yu. She hoped that he could fulfill his promise and help her once.

However, after waiting for a few years, a person that had nothing to do with Xiahou Yuqing appeared.

The imperial concubine lowered her head in disappointment as she wept. Although Luo Qing had learned the Nightmare Zither Technique, she was not the descendant of Xiahou Yu Qing. Therefore, the imperial concubine didn’t dare force anything!

“Since you are not Xiahou Yuqing’s descendant, there are some things that I should not ask, but I really do like you, child. The current Xue Lan is a bad place, if there’s a chance, you can leave, and find someone you like to spend the rest of your life in peace.” She stroked his cheek lovingly as she spoke.

Something had really happened to Xue Lan. Even though the Imperial Concubine knew that her grandson Xue Wu Hen also liked Luo Qing, she didn’t want to implicate Luo Qing.

Even if it was because of the Nightmare Mantra or perhaps because of old man Wuya, she shouldn’t have kept Luo Qing here.

“Grand Concubine, excuse my rudeness, did something happen to Xuelan? If you need help, just say so. ”

Chu Shiyu knew that something had really happened to Xue Lan. The Grand Concubine’s actions were to find the descendant or successor of Xiahou Yu Qing.

From her dejected gaze, it was clear that she was not the person she was looking for, yet she could not bring herself to speak of what had happened that year.

The grand imperial concubine wiped away her tears and said, “Since you’re Wuya’s disciple, why are you involved? This has nothing to do with you. It’s just that this grandson of mine …”

“Grandmother, your grandson will definitely accompany you. Don’t think too much.” Xue Wuhen quickly cut to the chase.

She clearly knew that he was in danger and wanted to protect him, but Xue Wuhen was not that weak. She knew what her heavy responsibility was.

After talking for a long time, the Grand Concubine still hadn’t told Chu Shiyu what she wanted her to help, but Chu Shiyu had already made it clear.

Wasn’t the reason she used the Nightmare Zither Technique as bait to protect Xuelan?

The old imperial concubine knew that the person she was waiting for was not the person she was waiting for, so she didn’t mention the past and the matter about the nightingale, and Chu Shanyu couldn’t ask any more questions.

After comforting her, he then coaxed the grand imperial concubine to sleep. Chu Shiyu and Xue Wuhen left the chamber and walked out into the blazing sun.

She did not ask too many questions to Xue Wuhen. In order to avoid being embarrassed, she only asked him about some of the customs and customs of the people in Xueran.

Xue Wuhen was the Crown Prince of Snowy Orchid Country. Even if he knew that the Snowy Orchid Nation was in danger, he was still willing to shoulder the consequences himself. It was difficult for him to ask for help.

Master Chu naturally knew this, so she didn’t ask too much. She already knew the general idea, so she didn’t care if it was stated clearly or not.

As the two walked into the imperial garden, they bumped into the approaching Sikong Qianqi. Master Chu immediately turned around and faced Xue Wu Hen.

The voodoo Gu technique that he had just used on Sikong Qianqi in the main hall had probably lost its effect. If he were to encounter someone who recognized him again, it would be fine in front of Xue Wu Hen.

Therefore, now was not the time to reveal her identity. The danger of Xuelan was not only because of the loss of her power, but also because of her dragon scales.

Before he could obtain the dragon’s scale, he could not reveal his identity as the Heavenly Jewel Master or Princess.

“Your Highness, Your Highness!”

Seeing Sikong Qiqi approaching, Xue Wuhen pretended not to see it as he reached out his hand for Master Chu’s shoulder and whispered into her ear!

“You seem to be very afraid of Sikong Qianqi?”

Chu Shiyu said, “She’s a princess, and I can’t afford to offend her. Of course I have to hide.”

Xue Wu Hen thought that it was true. When Sikong Qiqi walked over, she put her lips next to Chu Shiyu’s cheeks.

Seeing this, Sikong Qianqi immediately stopped and pinched her fingers deep into her palm.

The two of them had been whispering to each other for a long time. When they raised their heads, they saw that Sikong Qianqi was still standing there, not moving.

Xue Wuhen looked at her coldly, saying coldly, “Haven’t you seen enough of Seventh Princess?”

“Xue Wuhen, you’re the crown prince of a country, how dare you treat a lowly slave like this … Don’t you know what shame is? ” Sikong Qianqi said resentfully!

“Oh!” I have never remembered that if you want to pamper a person, you need the princess’ consent? Or do you people always have such rules? You also know that I am the crown prince of a country, so why is it that the princess herself doesn’t know how to control herself and knows how to avoid the taboo? ”

“You …”

Being humiliated like this, Sikong Qian Qi had no more face to argue anymore. She was so angry that she turned around and left immediately.

No matter what, she was still a princess. Wasn’t her status higher than a female slave who could play the zither? Unfortunately, Xue Wuhen had turned a blind eye to her.

Speaking of this bitter love affair, he had to start from seven years ago. At that time, Sikong Qiqi had come to visit Xue Lan, and brushed past Xue Wu Hen once, looking back with a smile.

Just once, he buried his feelings for Xue Wuhen. In the following years, he would occasionally visit Xue Lan just to see her.

However, Xue Wuhen was not a sentimental person. He also knew that the large warehouse was filled with flames that reached the sky, and that the heart of a wolf was unfathomable. Thus, he could not muster the slightest interest in the Seventh Princess. He even felt disgust towards her.

Only after Sikong Qianqi had left did Xue Wuhen put down the hand that was wrapped around Master Chu’s shoulder. He did not really believe that Luo Qing would be afraid of Sikong Qianqi.

From Luo Qing, he could see an elegant and dignified temperament. She did not seem to be a timid person.

“You can leave now. Just like my Royal Grandmother said, the current Xue Lan is a bad place. If you can leave, then go!”

Chu Shiyu sneered, “Even if Xue Lan is a land of war, there must be a reason, right? Even if I wanted to leave now, it would probably be impossible. Look at that Seventh Princess of Dazhou, you hated me to the bones for your sake, and that teacher from Tian Chen. Do you think he can’t see through your motives? The moment I leave the palace, I will be hunted down. Where do you want me to go? ”

Xue Wu Hen lowered his head and sighed, “That’s right! But don’t worry, as long as you want to leave, I will send a couple more people to escort you away. In the end, it’s also because of the Phoenix Lute that you’re involved, and that’s all. ”

Seeing that it was already noon, it was time for the Zither Moon Great Assembly. Since it was a show in front of the teacher, they had to put on some tricks no matter what.

Although Xue Wu Hen didn’t manage to help Grand Concubine find Xiahou Yu Qing’s successor, this scene couldn’t be stopped.

Chu Shiyu said, “Let’s return to the main hall first, lest some people become restless. As for that nightingale zither, I am actually quite interested in it. Today, I will definitely seize it and anger that Seventh Princess to death. ”

Xue Wuhen and Chu Shanyu returned to the main hall side by side, and many people also left during this time. It was only when Xue Wuhen returned to the main hall and announced the start of the Zither Faction’s meeting, that everyone finally returned to the main hall.

The imperial concubine left to rest, and the emperor, Xue Feiyang, left as well. Some of the ministers also left the main hall, leaving behind only a few zither lovers to wait in the main hall to see who would fall for this nightingale.

Although Sikong Qianqi did not participate in the Zither Force Competition, she was still unwilling and had been sitting inside the hall the entire time.

However, the seat of the Imperial Advisor was as empty as it was now!
