Chapter 740: Phoenix City

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was a serious matter. The group rushed to Phoenix City in only a month.

Phoenix City, the imperial city of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

This trip was for serious business, so Lin Shao and his sister didn’t come with them. Song Jingchen asked South Wind to send them back to Great Xia first.

The Heart Devouring Gra.s.s and a prescription to cure the Heart Devouring Poison was also sent back with them. Naturally, it also included the herbs they brought out of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

It was worth mentioning that after a month, Xuanyuan Ce’s men did not even find a single strand of Ji Yunxi’s hair.

Song Jingchen guessed that they had either escaped from the Xuanyuan Kingdom or infiltrated the envoys from the Wu Kingdom.

The two carriages stopped at the city gate. The city guards were about to go forward and check when Chu Feng took out a token.

The city guard muttered, “His Highness is really back?”

After saying that, he realized that he had misspoken and quickly knelt down to apologize.

What did he mean by that? Did everyone already know that His Highness was coming back?

Chu Feng frowned and said in a low voice, “The carriage behind is filled with

His Highness’s esteemed guests.”

The city guard looked up and quickly lowered his head. “I understand.”

The carriage successfully entered Phoenix City. Although it sounded like he was boosting the morale of others and undermining his prestige, just looking at the city wall, he had to admit that the Xuanyuan Kingdom was indeed much stronger than Great Xia.

Shops lined up around the s.p.a.cious street. The middle of the road was filled with busy traffic that flowed constantly.

Shen Yijia kept exclaiming along the way.

“Wow, hubby, look at that building. It’s so tall.”

“Hubby, over there!”

Her inexperienced appearance successfully attracted the attention of many people.

Song Jingchen patiently introduced them to her one by one. Although this was his first time in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, he had read many travelogues and it came in handy at this moment.

Xuanyuan Ce ls carriage walked side by side with them. In order to travel, they usually slept in the wilderness at night. Ji Luo wanted Shen Yijia to rest better, so she brought MO Yuan to sit in Xuanyuan Ce’s carriage. She would only occasionally change places with Song Jingchen and talk to Shen Yijia.

Seeing that Song Jingchen wasn’t impatient at all, she smiled.

The more she looked at Song Jingchen, the more satisfied she was with him.

She was good-looking and had a good personality. Most importantly, she could tell that Song Jingchen sincerely liked Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia wasn’t tired at all after traveling for the past month. Song Jingchen took care of her the entire time, so much so that she couldn’t even interfere.

Xuanyuan Ce, who hated Song Jingchen more and more, also showed a rare smile.

“Girl, if you like this place, you can stay here in the future. With Father around, you can walk horizontally in Phoenix City in the future.”

Xuanyuan Ce meant that she could do whatever she wanted, but Shen Yijia didn’t know that.

Shen Yijia revealed a disdainful expression. She rolled her eyes and said, “Only the dead can walk horizontally. Do you want to make a coffin for me?

Song Jingchen held back his laughter and pinched her face gently. “Your Highness doesn’t mean that. Also, you’re not allowed to talk about death so casually anymore.”

Xuanyuan Ce thought to himself, “Brat, don’t think I didn’t see you smile.”

“Uncle, you’re finally back.”

As the few of them were talking, a loud voice approached with the sound of hooves. Soon, they were close.

Chu Feng quickly stopped the carriage and cupped his fists. “Third Prince.”

Xuanyuan Ziming nodded, got off his horse, and was about to get into the carriage.

It was too late for Chu Feng to stop him.

The curtain of the carriage lifted and he met three pairs of eyes.

The ones glaring at him were his good imperial uncle. The other two expressionless eyes belonged to MO Yuan and someone else. They looked familiar, but he didn’t know them.

Xuanyuan Ziming smiled awkwardly and silently retreated to sit beside Chu Feng. He even carefully reached out and stroked the creases on the carriage curtain.

No, that was MO Yuan just now!

He suddenly stuck half of his body in again, and his eyes lit up. “MO Yuan, it’s really you. You’re here. Then your Miss… Ouch!”

While he was in shock, the Third Prince was kicked out of the carriage.

Was that person tired of living, or was the emperor too weak to carry the saber?

“Have you washed your neck? Do you have enough heads to get beheaded multiple times?” he thought.

What? The person who kicked him was Lord Jing’an?

Oh my G.o.d, His Highness was really back!

“Imperial Uncle, isn’t that kick a little too ruthless?” In the inn, Xuanyuan Ziming lay on the soft couch against the window and kept whining. “It’s over, it’s over. I’m afraid I’ve injured my thing from this fall. It’s better not to look at other people’s daughters in the future.”

Xuanyuan Ce ls face darkened and he said sternly, “Chu Feng, bring me a Imife.”

Xuanyuan Ziming sat up. “Why do you need a knife?”

Shen Yijia smiled and said, “Since it’s useless now, it’s just a decoration.”

Xuanyuan Ziming was shocked and said with a trembling voice, “I’ll keep it even if it’s just for show. At least it proves that I used to have it. ”

“Cut it off. I’ll help you make a specimen. You can take it out and take a look at it at any time in the future. Isn’t it better that way?”

“Why would that be the case?” As he spoke, he was about to lift his robe. “I can…”

“Shut up.” Xuanyuan Ce could not take it anymore.

At the same time, there was a whoos.h.i.+ng sound. A chopstick was stuck less than three inches away from Xuanyuan Ziming.

“Ah!” Xuanyuan Ziming screamed. He looked at the chopsticks that had pierced into the soft couch, then looked up at Song Jingchen, who had thrown the chopsticks, and fainted.

Song Jingchen glanced at Shen Yijia and said with a faint smile, “You want to help him make a specimen? Let him take it out when he wants to see it? You know a lot.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “It’s over. I got carried away and didn’t stop in time. My life is over.”

She looked at Ji Luo for help.

Ji Luo silently turned her head away. Even when she was young and at her most arrogant, she didn’t dare to discuss it openly with others, let alone in front of her husband!

This time, she stood on her son-in-law’s side.

Shen Yijia was speechless. “Mother, you’ve changed.”

“If she doesn’t save me, I’ll save myself.” She poured a cup of tea and handed it over. She said ingratiatingly, “Hubby, it’s all because of Xuanyuan Ziming. He deserves a beating. Just hit him. I don’t even know what that thing is, so I followed his words and spouted nonsense. Come, you’re thirsty, right? Have some tea.”

“Hmph.” Xuanyuan Ce snorted. “Girl, you didn’t say anything wrong. As a man, don’t you even have this bit of magnanimity? Why do you need him? Come over and sit with me. Ignore him.”

It was as if he wasn’t the one who made Xuanyuan Ziming shut up just now.

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and said to him silently, “Shut up!”

Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

“Hubby.” Shen Yijia looked at Song Jingchen.

Ji Luo coughed lightly.

Song Jingchen held his forehead. He knew that Shen Yijia had grown up in a different environment from ordinary people, and he understood her personality. How could he be really angry?

However, he still picked up his teacup and took a sip with a straight face. “Don’t be so careless with your words next time.”

“It won’t happen again. No, I swear it won’t happen again.”

“With this commotion, the envoys of the Wu Kingdom probably know that we’ve come to Phoenix City..” Ji Luo changed the topic and said, “What are your plans next?”
