Chapter 20 . 1: Mysterious Family Rule
Outside the Vermillion Bird’s Imperial Palace, the senior officials started to depart slowly, with some them speaking to each other in hushed whispers .
“Why didn’t Her Majesty come attend morning court again today?”
“I heard that Her Majesty seems to have fallen ill . It must be because she has been worrying about the Crown Princess too much . ”
“That’s possible . The Crown Princess has gone missing for almost two whole years and there hasn’t been any news of Her Highness at all”
“Sigh . If the Crown Princess does not come back soon, there might soon be a change in the reign of the Vermillion Bird . ”
“Do not say that . Let’s hurry up and leave . ”
The senior officials quickly dispersed and the outside of the Imperial Palace fell back into its usual tranquil silence . But who could possibly know, once this peaceful quiet pa.s.ses, what kind of a blood filled storm would blow .
… . .
— Bonded Hearts Palace —
“Xue Er, the colour of your complexion looks so much better today . ”
Huangfu Che had just fed Duanmu Xue the last mouthful of her medicine and he was helping her wipe the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief .
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Duke of Tranquility is seeking an audience . ”
Duanmu Xue’s personal female aide Hong Feng announced in a soft voice .
Hearing the words Duke of Tranquility, the brows of both Huangfu Che and Duanmu Xue immediately furrowed up at the same time .
Duanmu Xue instantly noticed Huangfu Che’s reaction and seeing his brows knitting up, she immediately waved her hand dismissively and said: “Denied . Ask her to leave . ”
Hong Feng was just about to go out to relay the message when another close aide of Duanmu Xue’s, Hong Ye came walking in .
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the Left Minister seeks an audience . ”
“Denied! I do not want to see anyone!”
Duanmu Xue’s tone of voice was highly impatient . [These people are really such a bother, not allowing her to have a single moment of peace . ]
She had just shouted when a clamour broke out outside .
“My imperial sister has taken ill so this Duke as her elder sister would naturally need to come pay a visit . Who dares to stop this Duke here… . . ”
Duanmu Xue was so angry she wanted to kill someone and she smashed the bowl placed upon the low stool at the side .
“d.a.m.n it . How dare they barge into my chambers . ”
“Xue Er, there’s no need to get agitated . I’ll go out and have a look . ”
