In the Eastern Palace of the Crown Princess.Duanmu Xi was sitting by the table, rubbing her temples. She drank too much last night, making her have a headache today."Your Highness, here is the hangover alleviating soup."Ziwan put a jade bowl in front of Duanmu Xi carefully.Duanmu Xi took the jade bowl and drank up the soup."Here come Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Royal Consort..."As the palace maids outside the palace chanted, Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che walked inside.Duanmu Xi rose and saluted the two of them."Mother, Father.""Xi, are you okay? Have you drunk the hangover alleviating soup?" Duanmu Xue saw her chin rested on her palm and immediately said nervously."Yeah." Duanmu Xi nodded."Come here. Xi, have a seat."Duanmu Xue dragged Duanmu Xi over and made her sit down, her face full of anxiety.

"What's wrong with Heiress of Princess Jing? Why isn't she fighting?""Exactly. She seems quite frightened."The onlookers saw the two people not fighting on the platform and started to murmur.Staring at Duanmu Qing who looked abnormal on the platform, Duanmu Shuang also slightly frowned.What was wrong with Qing? What on earth did Duanmu Xi say to her? What was she afraid of?Duanmu Qing was completely dumbfounded now.The total wreck she looked down upon had gained such a high level of competence that she could never approach in her whole life and ridiculously, she still acted like a pathetic clown."Duanmu Qing, as I said, even if I die, you can never become the crown princess..."Again, Duanmu Xi's words sounded in Duanmu Qing's ears coldly.Duanmu Qing couldn't move at all, as if being bewitched.Those were the words that made her unable to f

In the Fengming Hall.Seeing the empty palace, Duanmu Xi frowned and walked inside slowly.When she walked inside, Duanmu Xi saw the portraits of the previous empresses. Beneath the portraits were the memorial tablets of the deceased empresses and their royal consorts.Duanmu Xi's eyes glistened.The rules of the Duanmu Family were so strange. These royal consorts were not allowed to enter the Fengming Hall when they were alive. However, when they passed away, their memorial tablets could be placed here.Was it to prevent the empresses from being lonely?Duanmu Xi looked at the yellow cattail hassock on the ground and gave a bitter smile.She didn't even lower her head before her parents since she came to the Hantian Continent but now she had to kowtow to these memorial tablets.Fine. Since these were her ancestors, it wouldn't be a big deal to kowtow to them.

In the Tongxin Hall.Seeing Duanmu Xue's frown, Huangfu Che asked in a low voice, "Are you still worried about the frontier situation?"Duanmu Xue nodded lightly, her face full of anxiety.She was not afraid of being unable to defeat the Xuanwu Empire. Yet, when the two empires fell into a fight, the people had to suffer."Xue, isn't the Xuanwu Empire in the reign of your grandpa? Why does it suddenly raid our northwest frontier?"Seeing that Duanmu Xue was so worried, Huangfu Che felt a bit pitiful.Duanmu Xue shook her head and sighed."Now, the Xuanwu Empire is no longer the empire when my cousin Xiahou Shen was in reign. At present, it is under the control of Zhuge Weiming, the Prince Regent. I'm afraid that he is the one who schemes the raid on the northwest frontier."Huangfu Che frowned, "Zhuge Weiming has been in power for a while. This time, he attacks our empire.

As the army's morale was shaken, Duanmu Shuang got anxious."Don't listen to her bewitching words. There is no Rosefinch at all. It is merely a legend..."Duanmu Xi squinted with a glint of coldness in her purple eyes.Before Duanmu Xi took any action, Hongling sprayed a big fireball at Duanmu Shuang below."Argh..."After the shrill cry faded away, a charred corpse was left.Everyone was too shocked to make any sound.Princess Jing was dead like this. Such a Mysterious Lord was easily killed like this.The ambitions of all rebel forces were blasted.Staring at the uproar below, Duanmu Xi said coldly again."You still don't surrender. Do you want to be punished by Rosefinch as she was?"Hearing the word "punishment", the people instantly thought of the miserable death of Duanmu Shuang and shuddered. After throwing down the weapons hast
