Chapter 21 . 2: Tender Sentiments

— Outside the Bonded Hearts Palace —

“What do we do now?” Qin Zhen asked as she looked at Duanmu Shuang’s indignant face .

“What else can we do? Go back and think of a way for us to pull more senior officials to our side, and when we suggest for her to appoint another Crown Princess altogether as a group during court, I’ll like to see how she can oppose it . ”

Duanmu Shuang’s eyes narrowed sinisterly, filling up with a venomous light .

“What is that about the rule set by the founding Emperor?”

“You should not be asking about things that are not meant for you to know . ”

Duanmu Shuang answered as she looked at Qin Zhen coldly, and with a flick of her sleeves, she turned to depart .

Qin Zhen watched Duanmu Shuang back as she walked away, her eyes narrowing .

[d.a.m.n that Duke of Tranquility . Her younger brother had married the Duke of Tranquility back then but was killed by the Duke of Tranquility’s harem in his palace . The Duke of Tranquility had not only not pursued the matter at all, she had not shown the slightest sorrow for his death .

If not for the fact that the Duke of Tranquility had appointed the only daughter left behind by Qin Zhen’s younger brother, Qin Zhen would not be complying to the Duke’s orders now .

— Inside the Bonded Hearts Palace —

Duanmu Xue dismissed all the attendants and palace maids before summoning the Phoenix Guards .

“Phoenix One . ”

A black robed woman appeared right before Duanmu Xue . This black robed woman was Phoenix One, the leader of the Phoenix Guards who protected the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s female Emperor .

The Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s Phoenix Guards only took orders from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom’s reigning female Emperor throughout the generations . They number three thousand in total and were split into fifteen teams, lead by Phoenix One, Phoenix Two… . . till Phoenix Fifteen, fifteen female team leaders .

“Send someone to watch their every single move . ”

A corner of Duanmu Xue’s mouth raised up in a cold sneer . There was a high possibility cornered dogs might try to jump the wall .

“Your subordinate will carry out your orders . ”

Having received her orders, Phoenix One disappeared in the next instant .

“Phoenix Five . ”

Another black robed woman appeared right in front of Duanmu Xue .

“Is there any news of the Crown Princess?”

“Your subordinate is incompetent . ”

Phoenix Five knelt on one knee in shame, answering with her head bowed .

Duanmu Xue waved her hand dismissively, feeling highly disappointed .

“Continue to search, and put more people into it . The Crown Princess must be found as quickly as possible . ”

She believed that Little Xi was still alive, living in some corner of the Constellation Continent .

“Yes, Your Majesty . ”
