No matter the reason, he was only going to listen to Her Majesty’s orders to bring back the Lady Phoenix. Since that was Her Majesty’s order, he would just obey and get it done.
Feng Tianlan looked at Chen Xinyi who had not spoken a single word. Chen Xinyi just stared at her with no life or whatsoever in her eyes. Feng Tianlan frowned at her. She didn’t have a good feeling about this.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Chen Xinyi, we no longer owe each other anything, so let’s leave this behind us.”
She rescued Chen Xinyi twice while Chen Xinyi saved her once, and even bore feelings for her male identity. Now, they could take it that they no longer owed each other. And since there’s no longer anything between them, she should give up.
With eyes devoid of life, Chen Xinyi just stared at her and did not answer. But that was exactly what made Feng Tianlan feel terrible. Chen Xinyi was deeply in love but realized belatedly that she had actually wasted her feelings on a girl?
How could she just let it go? How could she?
The moment she saw that Master Shen was actually the Demon Princess Consort, she had given up entirely and there was only deep hatred in her heart.
The group of people set off once again, but Chen Xinyi did not follow them. However, Feng Tianlan did not take that to heart. Instead, she assumed that Chen Xinyi had given up and just left the matter alone.
They reached Tianfeng Nation in about three days. Compared to Xi Yuan Nation, the people were more open-minded as the land was under a female emperor’s rule. However, Tianfeng Nation looked like a small country and its territory was not as vast as Dongshu Nation. But if one were to look at its power, one would realize that Tianfeng Nation was a powerful country.
Because every single one of their citizens possessed spiritual force and they were all quite strong. From this, one could understand why the nation had remained hidden.
Feng Tianlan looked on calmly as people stared at her. They had a kind of respect for the Lady Phoenix even to the point of worshipping her. Even if they had doubts, they just watched her enter the palace quietly, without any questions.
The female Emperor stood at the palace gates. She narrowed her eyes as she watched the Lady Phoenix’s sedan come closer. Her gaze fell on Ji You, who was beside the sedan, instead of the Lady Phoenix.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Everyone gave their greetings, except for Feng Tianlan and Azurite.
With a majestic aura around her, the female Emperor looked at Ji You. She questioned him angrily, “Prime Minister, you left your position empty for several months. Do you still remember what your duties are? And am I still the Emperor in your eyes?”
The last time she saw the Prime Minister was several months ago on the night before he left. The day after that, she only saw a memorial submitted by him at the morning meeting and did not see him from then on. He was away for several months and that made her furious.
She thought that the Prime Minister, Ji You, was not taking her seriously!
“I heard that the Lady Phoenix was at the Shang Institution, so I went to bring her here personally. Please punish me if I have made any mistakes.”
Hearing this tactful answer from Ji You, the female Emperor gritted her teeth in anger. He even used this Lady Phoenix as his reason for being away so she couldn’t punish him. What a man, this Ji You!
With his body still bowed, Ji You reminded the Emperor, “Your Majesty, you have yet to greet the Lady Phoenix.”
From what he knew, after the previous Lady Phoenix became a mere puppet a few hundred years ago, the female Emperor had stopped bowing to greet the Lady Phoenix. But now that the real Lady Phoenix had returned, Her Majesty had no choice but to give her greetings. He was going to protect the Lady Phoenix regardless!
The female Emperor glared at him before turning to look at Feng Tianlan, who was on the phoenix sedan. Seeing the Phoenix Emblem between Feng Tianlan’s eyebrows, she was surprised. She couldn’t differentiate between this Lady Phoenix and Feng Yunsheng.
Feng Tianlan looked indifferently at the female Emperor from head to toe. She saw that the Emperor had delicate facial features, but the contours of her face were sharp. Her composed and dignified aura also made her looked really heroic and majestic. However, Feng Tianlan didn’t have a good impression of her.
