Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 184

Phoenix Five looked at Duanmu Xi who was putting on a set of male clothes, saying with a frown, “Your Highness, are you really getting out of the mansion? Don’t we tell His Highness about this?”

Hearing Phoenix Five’s question, Duanmu Xi turned around and arched her eyebrows at Phoenix Five, “Do you think he will let me out if we tell him about this?”

Snow had been very nervous since she was found pregnant with multiple pregnancies. He wouldn’t even let her out of Xuelan House, let alone get out of the mansion. If she was kept indoors like this, not only she but also her babies would be bored to death.

Phoenix Five shook her head instinctively, “No.” If they told His Highness about this, His Highness wouldn’t let Her Highness get out of the mansion alone.

“So, we had better not tell him.” Duanmu Xi turned around and adjusted her collars towards the copper mirror. Staring at the casual look of Duanmu Xi, Phoenix Five was worried, “But if His Highness comes back and can’t find you…”

Duanmu Xi waved her hand impatiently and interrupted Phoenix Five’s words, “It doesn’t matter. We can come back before he does.”

Snow had gone to the military camp and wouldn’t come back so early. As long as they returned to the mansion before he did, they would be fine.

Phoenix Five twitched her mouth. Her Highness put it so simply. If His Highness came back and knew that Her Highness went out of the mansion, His Highness wouldn’t do anything to Her Highness while Lishang and Yu Ying would be messed up.

Duanmu Xi adjusted her clothes and turned to look at Phoenix Five, “What do you think? Do I look like a man?”

Phoenix Five raised her head and looked at Duanmu Xi. Instantly, she was dumbstruck. Her Highness looked so awesome in a male costume.

The white and clean white clothes on her appeared slightly slack but it didn’t affect her elegant temperament. Her black and long hair was tied up with a fine white jade crown. She looked less gentle and pretty but more dashing. Her strikingly beautiful face was hard to tell her gender. Her enigmatic purple eyes were like a sea of purple flowers, which would fascinate others with ease. As she smiled, others would be infatuated and stunned.

Looking at Phoenix Five’s obsessed facial expression, Duanmu Xi smiled more brightly. Judging from Phoenix Five’s reaction, her male look must be extraordinarily handsome.

“Okay. Let’s go.” Duanmu Xi knocked on Phoenix Five’s forehead and turned to walk out of the door. Phoenix Five finally came to her senses, touched her forehead and turned to chase out, “Your Highness…”

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi come out in the male costume, Yu Ying in the yard slightly frowned, “Your Highness, why are you dressed like this?”

Duanmu Xi followed Yu Ying’s gaze and hung her head to take a look at her male costume. Then, she raised her head and looked at Yu Ying, saying with a smile, “Oh, I’m going out for a walk.”

Yu Ying frowned more heavily upon hearing that, “Your Highness, are you going out now? Won’t you wait for His Highness?” “Yes,” Duanmu Xi replied while walking out of the yard. After walking for two steps, she turned to warn Yu Ying, “Don’t tell Your Highness I’m going out of the mansion. Otherwise…”

Looking at Duanmu Xi’s fierce eyes, Yu Ying subconsciously swallowed.

Seeing Yu Ying’s frightened look, Duanmu Xi left with satisfaction.

Phoenix Five followed behind Duanmu Xi and turned to glimpse Yu Ying, thinking, “Yu Ying, wish you good luck!”

Yu Ying stayed in situ for a long time. After struggling for a while, he still sent a message to Xuanyuan Mo.

Looking at the homing pigeon, Yu Ying slightly frowned. Her Highness was so kind. She wouldn’t really punish him! On the contrary, His Highness was different. If he really didn’t tell His Highness that Her Highness had gone out of the mansion, he would be more severely messed up than Lishang.

He must protect Her Highness’s safety before His Highness came back. Otherwise, he would be doomed for sure. Thinking of that, with a bound, he disappeared from Xuelan House.

At the gate of Prince Zhan’s mansion, Lishang looked at Duanmu Xi dressed in the male costume and went forward to slightly bow, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

The other guards looked at Duanmu Xi carefully and found that she was Princess Consort Zhan indeed. Then, they all greeted with clasped hands, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

Duanmu Xi waved her hands and signaled to them to drop the formalities.

Lishang looked at Duanmu Xi’s male costume and then glanced at Phoenix Five and Lian Zhengyu behind, saying with a frown, “Your Highness, are you going out?”

“Yes, I’m going out for a walk.” Duanmu Xi nodded and then glimpsed Lishang, saying, “Don’t tell His Highness that I’m going out of the mansion today.”

Lishang was worried at once, “Your Highness, would you please let me follow you and help carry things for you?”

Since Princess Consort Zhan was going out of the mansion alone, he must follow her and keep her safe.

Duanmu Xi took a meaningful look at Lishang and curled her lips, “Okay!”

Lishang immediately said with delight, “Thanks, Your Highness.”

Then, Duanmu Xi took Lian Zhengyu, Phoenix Five and Lishang into the streets.

Walking in the street again, Duanmu Xi felt rather happy. Last time, in the middle of shopping, she was carried back into Prince Zhan’s mansion. This time, she must go around to her heart’s content.

The crowds in the street were all dumbstruck to see Duanmu Xi. The women all stared at Duanmu Xi with obsession while the men were discussing in a low voice.

“What a handsome gentleman!”

“Who is this man from? Why did I never see him before?”

“No matter where he comes from, he must have some potent backing. Just look at the three guards behind him and you’ll know.”

Duanmu Xi showed disregard for the men’s discussion and the women’s amorous glances. She just looked around by herself.

Duanmu Xi arrived in front of a fan booth and smiled. What a coincidence! What she needed now was a fan!

Duanmu Xi’s unintentional smile infatuated the fan booth owner directly. What a handsome gentleman! He had never seen such a good-looking man by now!

Duanmu Xi picked a fan that was painted with the pattern of the ink bamboos and then tilted her head to signal to Phoenix Five to pay.

Phoenix Five immediately took out a green crystal and threw it to the fan booth owner.

The owner took the green crystal and immediately composed himself. He looked at Duanmu Xi and said with embarrassment, “Sir, I’m doing a small business. The green crystal is too much. Do you have any small change?”

Duanmu Xi waved her hand casually, “Keep the change.”

The booth owner was delighted to hear that and immediately replied with a bow, “Thank you, Sir.”

A fan was sold for a green crystal. He had met a generous buyer today. A green crystal could be used to buy a small house in the Imperial City.

The other booth owners saw the fan booth owner gain a green crystal and all looked envious. Then, they all cast their eyes at Duanmu Xi passionately.

“Sir, look at my scented sachets. They are finely made…”

“Sir, would you like some rogue? You can give it to your girlfriend…”

“Sir, do you like the pendant? I can give you a discount…”

Duanmu Xi walked in the street amidst the peddlers’ passionate cries.

Xuanyuan Mo in the Military Camp North of the City received the message from Yu Ying. After reading the note, Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows, stood up, directly left the generals who were reporting alone and then ran out of the camp.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo run out all of a sudden, the generals were all confused. The reporting was not over yet. Where was Prince Zhan going in a hurry?

In a restaurant in the street of the Imperial City.

Xuanyuan Hao sitting by the window on the second floor saw Duanmu Xi by accident. It was her. A glint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He didn’t expect that she would be so beautiful in a male costume.

He turned his gaze to look at her belly and immediately gave a fierce look. Within a few breaths, he had arrived in front of Duanmu Xi.

“Hello.” His voice was gentle and polite. The fierce look on his face was replaced by tenderness.

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Hao standing in her way and slightly frowned. It was him again. Why did she meet him every time she was out?

Duanmu Xi slightly nodded, “Hello.”

Xuanyuan Hao glanced at the three people behind Duanmu Xi. When he saw Lian Zhengyu, he was surprised. Wasn’t he back to the Xuanwu Empire? Why was he standing next to her now?

He raised his head and asked seemingly unwittingly, “Where is my third brother? Doesn’t he keep you company?”

“Oh, he has gone out for his own business,” Duanmu Xi replied not truthfully. She didn’t feel good about this man. Neither did she want to communicate with him. If this was found by Snow, he would be jealous again.

“If you have nothing to say, we’ll leave first.”

“I…” Xuanyuan Hao was about to speak when he saw a group of people rushing towards them.

“Watch out.” He directly held Duanmu Xi’s shoulders and got to the roadside with a turn.

Duanmu Xi glimpsed the hand on her shoulders and slightly frowned, her dark purple eyes glistening with a bit of annoyance. She moved her feet aside and dodged the hand on her shoulders.

His hand became empty. So was his heart. Xuanyuan Hao put his hand down and balled it into a fist. His eyes sparkled with fierceness. Sooner or later, he would own her above-board.

Phoenix Five and the others also rushed to Duanmu Xi and looked at Duanmu anxiously.

“Your Highness, are you okay?”

Duanmu Xi shook her head and looked at the group of people who suddenly rushed here.

They saw a dozen people surrounding a boy who was eight or nine years old. The boy was dirty all over but judging from the materials of the clothes, the clothes were not affordable for ordinary people. He should be from a rich family. His face was so dirty that it couldn’t be recognized but his eyes appeared rather spirited.

When Lian Zhengyu aside saw the boy, his dark green eyes sparkled. This boy was so familiar. Lian Zhengyu scrutinized his face but it was all dark. Nothing could be seen.

The leading man among those people looked at the boy and swung his knife, “Come with us obediently. Otherwise, we would teach you a lesson.”

When the boy heard that, a glint of disdain flashed across his dark eyes, “In your dreams. I would rather die than go back with you.” His voice was childish and domineering.

The leading man narrowed his eyes maliciously and swung his knife at the man behind, “Go and catch him.”

Those people surrounding the boy heard the order and all sprang on the boy.

It was hard to tell the boy’s expression from his face but his black eyes showed no fear.
